"Attention team: Please review the updated policy documents immediately to ensure compliance and inform clients accordingly.
Congratulations to the Shanghai office team for exceeding the monthly sales target by 11%! Your hard work is greatly appreciated."
The announcement on the intercom ended.
Lingling looked up at the sudden silence. She sat behind her desk stacking a few documents together. When the telephone rang, she answered immediately.
"Gu Holdings, good morning. This is Lingling speaking, how can I help?" She paused while the caller spoke and then followed with, "Sorry, Mr Gu is not available now, can I take your message?
She wrote on the message form and politely ended the call before Meng Xian came to stand in front of the desk.
"Morning", he said. "Mr Gu didn't come in today?"
"Not yet", she said with a frown. "Did he mention having other meetings today?"
"I thought you would know", Meng Xian said. "He didn't answer my calls, that's why I came."
