Shen Qianqian was about to explain.
Suddenly.
Ring, ring, ring—
On the desk, her cellphone rang.
Caller ID: Unknown.
"Who's calling me at this time?" muttered Shen Qianqian before picking up the phone and answering the call.
"Qianqian, hello, this is Zhao Xiaoli."
From the phone, a familiar voice came through.
"Comrade Zhao Xiaoli, hello, hello," Shen Qianqian hurriedly responded, realizing this was a staffer from the Weapons Research Institute.
Was she calling about the weapon?
"Qianqian, just call me Xiaoli,"
Zhao Xiaoli's voice was gentle, her tone soft and breezy, "The 'modular new-style rifle' you designed is very impressive, so we'd like to discuss with you the detailed information and data about this firearm. Are you available right now?"
"I am,"
Shen Qianqian was delighted that her firearm design had been recognized.
"Qianqian, thank you so much for your cooperation,"
