"Leader, do you have time this afternoon?"
Ma Shanjun dialed the personal phone number of the deputy district chief in charge of health. After some small talk, he got straight to the point.
"Do you have something?"
Yi Gang didn't directly answer whether he was free and instead said, "If you have something to say, you can say it over the phone."
Ma Shanjun thought for a moment and said, "This matter is a bit complex, I'm worried I can't explain it clearly over the phone..."
Ma Shanjun expressed his difficulties, and Yi Gang thought for a moment: "Do you have time now? If so, you can come over now. I have some matters to attend to this afternoon."
"Sure, sure, I'll come right over."
Ma Shanjun replied repeatedly in agreement, feeling quite frustrated once he hung up.
Clearly, it wasn't his own problem, yet he had to run around for it.
