At the celebratory lunch, everyone was in good spirits.
Zhang Ye had not felt this relaxed in a long time. Because he was due for a live broadcast soon, he did not drink any alcohol, but instead only ate the food.
Ring, ring, ring. Zhao Guozhou received a phone call. Shortly after he answered, he suddenly did not look too good. He hung up and then took a look at everyone, saying, "I will head back first; there's a short meeting. You guys head back early after you are done. I've settled the bill already; enjoy yourselves."
"Ah?"
"Why are you leaving now?"
"Then we should head back, too."
"That's right; we are almost done anyway."
Everyone left, one after the other. They decided that they might as well return to the unit together.
