Hearing the president say it was good, he let out a long sigh of relief.
He didn’t know what was up with the president this afternoon. Unlike before, when he was fully focused during meetings.
In the past, President Zhan would require everyone to mute or turn off their phones, and he generally wouldn’t look at his own.
This afternoon, though, he kept his phone on the table, not on silent, checking it now and then, as if waiting for someone’s call.
They didn’t dare ask a single question.
They could only guess in their minds what was going on.
“Ring ring ring…”
At that moment, Zhan Yin’s phone rang. He immediately grabbed it, saw it was Haitong calling, and his distracted air vanished instantly. He looked delighted, his lips curving into a smile even before answering.
Everyone: …They’d guessed right. President Zhan was waiting for a call.
Nine out of ten, it was the president’s wife.
Only she had the power to make President Zhan so distracted.
The couple hadn’t argued, had they?
Was President Zhan waiting for her to make the first move?
Oh no!
If the president and his wife were at odds, arguing or in a cold war, they’d all suffer. The president would take it out on them, making their lives miserable.
“Yichen, take over the meeting. I’m stepping out to take a call.”
Zhan Yin, ignoring their guesses, grabbed his phone and walked out of the meeting room.
His eagerness confirmed their suspicions. It was definitely the president’s wife calling.
As soon as he left the meeting room, Zhan Yin answered the phone.
“Wife.”
He deliberately sounded pitiful, aggrieved, “You still remember you have a husband? I thought you went off to have fun and forgot you have a husband back home.”
Haitong, hearing his pitiful tone, burst out laughing on the phone.
Zhan Yin hurried back to his office, sat on the sofa, and said to his wife, “Wife, you’re still laughing. God knows how much I miss you. The moment you left, I started missing you.”
“You sent me a message when you got to Yangcheng, and only now are you calling. I waited so long, and you’re laughing at me.”
Haitong, laughing, coaxed him, “Alright, alright, I won’t laugh. It’s my fault. I didn’t call you right away. I thought you were working, busy, and I didn’t want to disturb you.”
“I saw Lao Qi, and he took us to eat some snacks. Then something happened, and we ran into his sworn enemy. They had a bit of a scene. I was so caught up watching the drama, I forgot to call.”
“Grandma and Second Aunt kept reminding me to urge Lao Qi to date and get married when I saw him.”
“So I paid extra attention. Lao Qi and his sworn enemy, there’s something there. This kind of bickering couple drama is just too good. I was hooked, regretting I didn’t record a video.”
“Then we went back to Lao Qi’s place. I said we’d stay at a hotel, but he wouldn’t let us. He said if he didn’t host us, you’d skin him alive when we got back, and the family would scold him to death.”
“So, to save him from getting scolded, I brought the kids to stay at his place.”
“After that, I called Grandma, chatted with her for a bit, and thought you might be free around now, so I hurried to call you.”
