Mr. Chen, thank you, thank you so much… No need to thank me, Auntie. I just asked around while I was passing by. It's not about you passing by… If you hadn't cared so much, I don't know how I would have got through these last few days. So… what's Jie planning to do now? He says he wants to move back home for a while. I'll talk it over with his younger cousin and help him sort out what he owes. That's good. When the family's together, things can always be worked out. By the way, keep the number you're using now. Let's just… let's just say we've made another friend.
