The next day, when Dai Li was on his lunch break in the dining hall, his phone suddenly rang. It was an unknown number.
Is it from a delivery service? I haven't bought anything recently, Dai Li thought to himself as he picked up the phone.
"Hi, is this Coach Li? This is Lin Yang."
"Academician Yang, hi." Dai Li was a bit shocked. He had not expected a call from Lin Yang.
"I got your number from Professor Mao," Lin Yang said. "Coach Li, I wanted to call you to say thanks. I had a long conversation with Sijie Yang last night."
"Is everything settled?" Dai Li asked.
"Yeah, Sijie told me how he really felt. I support him!" Lin Yang said proudly. "It was my fault for pushing him so hard. When I was young, I paid too much attention to my work. I had him when I was 35 years old—kind of late, you might say. I cherish him, and kind of spoiled him. I want to make sure he gets everything he wants.
