"Dad, can you stop talking to your daughter like you're giving a speech? Do you even believe what you're saying?"
"Tingting, how can you talk to your father like that?"
Silence, a deep silence across the phone between father and daughter.
In the same silence, there were different expressions and emotions. Mu Chongyi wore a smile, full of certainty, while Mu Xiaoting frowned, her mind restless.
"Alright, I got a bit emotional earlier, my mistake. But I assure you, from a professional gamer's perspective, there's nothing wrong with Chu Ge's game or company. Also, I hope you don't forget, Chu Ge is my savior, you mean to say..."
"Tingting, stop right there. You should know that as a public servant, my principle has always been to support reason, not personal connections."
Mu Xiaoting was interrupted by Mu Chongyi halfway through her speech, leaving her clutching her phone with two words caught in her throat, unable to speak.
