"How could she not have gone to work?" Ouyang Qian was taken aback.
She called the secretary, intending to have the secretary look for a lawyer experienced in trafficking-related cases in the country, but she didn't expect this result.
The call was answered by the chairman's special assistant.
Noticing Ouyang Qian's surprise, the assistant added, "Secretary Hu took leave this morning, saying she wasn't feeling well."
Not wanting to waste time, Ouyang Qian directly asked the assistant to find a lawyer.
Then, she called home.
Her daughter was in trouble, and although she knew Lai Wenyan was upset, Ouyang Qian felt it was time to focus on the bigger picture and get their daughter out first.
But when the landline was dialed, no one answered.
Ouyang Qian switched to calling her husband's cellphone.
It took until the second attempt for Lai Wenyan to pick up.
