Han Jingnian had just turned on the faucet when his phone in his pocket began to ring.
It was Zhang Te's assistant calling, and he answered the call.
"Mr. Han, are you busy at the moment?"
"Busy." Han Jingnian turned on the speakerphone, put his phone aside, and picked up a dishwashing soap to read the instructions.
Hearing the sound of running water, Zhang Te's assistant casually asked, "Mr. Han, are you preparing to take a bath?"
"No," Han Jingnian finished reading the instructions, wet a dishtowel with some dish soap, and responded to Zhang Te's assistant saying, "washing dishes."
"Wash, wash, wash what?"
"Dishes."
As Han Jingnian finished his sentence, a "plop" sound came through Zhang Te's side of the phone, followed by a few "zzz" noises, and then the call cut off.
Han Jingnian didn't pay any mind to it and continued to scrub the dishes intensely.
