Qin Xiu pressed the answer button. Just as the phone was pressed to his ear, the familiar voice of the minister of foreign affairs sounded. "Qin Xiu, you've already completed the heavy responsibility given to you by the country. The country's highest leader has personally called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to tell you that you're to return to the country!"
The minister, who knew that the negotiation had failed, did not wait for the voice to come through the receiver. He just said solemnly, "We're all waiting for you to come back."
This was the most serious concern. It told Qin Xiu that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was waiting for him to return.
There was trust, concern, and hope in the familiar voice. Qin Xiu slowly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, making him look even more elegant.
This was his reason for being strong—his strong backing. His 'motherland' that had sent him out was waiting for him to return.
