"Ah, hello, hello... I am Mu Wanqing's supervisor. She took leave in the morning, said she'd return in the afternoon, but I just heard from a colleague that she won't be coming back this afternoon either?" As soon as he heard it was Mu Wanqing's husband, Manager Sun immediately adopted a more professional tone, assuming the mannerisms of a leader.
"Mhm..." Wen Zhan responded briefly, sparing with his words.
Manager Sun, unaware of who his subordinate's husband really was, still wanted to assert his authority and hadn't noticed the dismissive tone from the other end.

Wen Zhan curled the corners of his lips, unmotivated to respond, merely asking, "Are you her department head?"
