Nie Zhenbang's action somewhat moved Liang Ligui. Though Liu Kun didn't explicitly say it, Liang Ligui was well aware that Nie's third brother had significant connections in high places.
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang was willing to humble himself and make a phone call in front of him, regardless of whether the matter would succeed or not. This showed that Nie Zhenbang was open and sincere.
The phone connected after just a couple of rings. Nie Zhenbang promptly picked it up and said, "Hello, please connect me to the leader's office. This is Nie Zhenbang."
Soon, Elder Nie's hearty voice rang out from the phone, "Zhenbang, you're back? You were gone for more than a month. Not a single update, don't you think to give a call home, son?"
Elder Nie's words carried a hint of concern, which touched Nie Zhenbang. In his previous life, he did not have much interaction with his grandfather.
