Once outside, Xiaochen was indeed waiting for her with a phone in hand, "Who were you just on the phone with? Secretary Gao said she's tried calling several times without getting through."
A phone call?
Ye Ning remembered the call she had just received from Qiao Feiyu and hurried over, "No, I just made a call home. Is Secretary Gao looking for me?"
As she spoke, she took the phone from Xiaochen.
Everyone was off work at this time; a call now must mean there was an issue.
Xiaochen nodded, "Mhm, there must be something."
Upon hearing that, Ye Ning quickly put the phone to her ear, "Hello, Secretary Gao…"
"An Ning, I've finally found you. You haven't left yet, have you?" As expected, it was Secretary Gao on the line. Hearing it was her, his voice immediately rose significantly, sounding as if he was very happy she had picked up his call.
Ye Ning, getting a bad feeling, hesitated for a long while before nodding, "I was just about to leave. Did you need me for something?"
