You were on your way to visit your brother, Xu Zhang, in his office. However, his secretary waylaid you and instructed you to wait a moment. As a result, you elected to take a seat in the waiting room.

"Apologies for making you wait. I had some work that needed to be dealt with earlier," he stated in a cold tone, but with a touch of gentleness.
