Inside the office, Yang Ping rubbed his temples, preparing to wrap up the day's work, when the office door was gently tapped.
"Come in!"
The door wasn't locked, and was slowly pushed open as Zhang Lin's head poked inside.
"Professor? Are you busy? There's something important to report!" Zhang Lin's face was full of excitement and mystery, with a bit of a "claiming credit" vibe.
Yang Ping raised his hand, signaling him to come in.
Zhang Lin slipped inside, closed the door gently, and quickly walked over to Yang Ping's desk, slightly leaning forward and lowering his voice, as if about to share some earth-shattering secret— a classic broadcasting gesture, one Yang Ping was all too familiar with.
"Professor, something big happened! This afternoon, guess what?" He deliberately teased, eyes sparkling as he looked at Yang Ping.
Something big was happening! Another classic Zhang-style shocker. Yang Ping remained silent, calmly watching him, waiting for the details.
