Xiao Jianli was bombarded with phone calls from early in the morning.
Kang Hongbin was extremely concerned about Lu Mian's grades; one call followed another. If he didn't act fast, Lu Mian might end up belonging to someone else.
What were phone bills in the grand scheme of things?
But the more Xiao Jianli ignored the calls, the more uneasy Kang felt, fearing that something might go wrong.
This time, Mo Si had no other choice but to seek help from Xiao Jianli.
"Old master, Dean Kang insists on speaking with you," he said.
With a sigh, Xiao Jianli relented and answered the call, "Hello?"
His voice did not convey much satisfaction.
Kang Hongbin, who was sitting in his office, straightened up immediately upon hearing Xiao Jianli's voice.
"Mr. Xiao, what's the situation? You keep ignoring my calls, haven't you promised Lu Mian to someone else?" he asked.
With a less than elegant "ptui," Xiao Jianli spat.
