No one had seen Elder Xi so happy before. One could hear his happy guffaws throughout the day.
Everyone lined up to shower Ruobing with praises, to get in her good books…
There was only one exception. Mubai stood outside the conference room door, picked up his phone to call Xinghe.
"Where are you?" he asked.
Xinghe held the phone to her ear but her focus was completely on monitoring the technicians' movement. "Finishing up the product at the lab."
"Ruobing is already here with hers, the surgery will be starting soon."
There was a slight pause in Xinghe's response, but nothing beyond that. She enquired, "When exactly is the surgery time?"
"1 pm."
It was slightly past 12 pm so there was still time.
Xinghe replied softly, "Thank you, I will be there before 1 pm."
"Okay, call me if you need any help."
"Thank you."
