Hearing the voice, Ge Pingping's ears perked up, wondering who the woman Xu Qianli was talking to on the phone.
Xu Qianli said, "Is this Minister Zhao Mei of the City Organization Department? Let me introduce myself, my name is Xu Qianli, former Director of the Jiang City County Government Office. I apologize for the unsolicited call, but I wanted to discuss a matter with Minister Zhao."
"Xu Qianli?"
"Do you think there's anything worth discussing between us?"
"I'm very busy with work and have no interest in wasting time on you, goodbye."
Xu Qianli said, "Hold on, Minister Zhao, don't be in such a rush to hang up. Hear me out on one thing before you decide whether to end the call or not."
"What is it?"
Xu Qianli said, "It's nothing serious. Minister Zhao, do you like persimmons? The persimmons from Nan Mountain are ripe. Would you be interested in picking a few to taste?"
Beside him, Ge Pingping was all ears.
