Just past five in the afternoon, Lin Jie tidied up his desk and went to the outer office, instructing Jian Jia: "While I'm in Germany, you don't have to stay here all the time; you can also go to the studio."
"If there are any difficult or urgent matters, remember to call me."
Jian Jia responded with a nod and wished, "Dr. Lin, I wish you a smooth trip to Germany, and may everything go well."
Lin Jie nodded in thanks, then quickly left.
However, after taking just two steps out of the office, Lin Jie left Guan Muhua behind, turned back, and asked, "Jian Jia, did those two Italians come looking for me this morning? Did they call you today?"
Jian Jia shook her head and asked, "Dr. Lin, are you looking for them? I can contact them."
Lin Jie, a bit puzzled, said, "They didn't come? That's a bit unreasonable. These two traveled all the way here to see me, were rejected by me once yesterday, and then didn't come to find me again?"
