Shang Feng listened to the dial tone in the receiver, seething with frustration.
It had taken him the strength of nine bulls and two tigers just to get this call through. Without layer upon layer of approvals from above, how could the call possibly have been transferred to the front line?

Just like her mother, stubborn and unenlightened, she doesn't understand the least bit of subtlety or social grace. Doesn't she know how the world works?

Yet this stubborn girl not only lacked any gratitude, but she also didn't even want to acknowledge him.
