As soon as Chen Zheng stepped into the room, he saw a familiar face and couldn't help but call out.
Seated behind the desk, the middle-aged man lifted his head. His gaze fell upon Chen Zheng as he slowly stood up. "Chen Zheng, you're here!"
"Dad!"
Chen Zheng took a few steps forward, exclaiming excitedly, "I haven't seen you in so long, I've missed you so much!"
"Heh, I've missed you too."
A look of gratification appeared on his father's face as he reached out to pat Chen Zheng's head, speaking tenderly, "My boy, have things been tough for you lately?"
"I wouldn't say tough, exactly, but..." Chen Zheng hesitated for a moment before deciding to share his experiences with his father.
