As the end of the workday approached, Du Heng was packing up to leave when he unexpectedly received another call from Director Xing at the Acupuncture Research Institute.
Originally, he didn't want to pick it up, but Director Xing's calls were relentlessly persistent. Unable to avoid it, Du Heng reluctantly answered.
"Dean Du, I've heard you're back in the Capital?"
As soon as the call connected, Director Xing wasted no time in asking the most critical question.
Du Heng twisted his mouth helplessly; the news traveled so fast?
"Well, I finished my work, so I returned. Also, I'm just an honorary Deputy Director, Director Xing, calling me Dean is too embarrassing," Du Heng replied casually.
After confirming his return, Director Xing didn't bother with Du Heng's comments but spoke in an anxious and panic-stricken voice, "Deputy Director Du, at our institute, there's no such thing as an honorary position; a leader is a leader."
Du Heng could only chuckle.
