Time moved to Saturday. Song Guanchao called Chairman Yao's number to confirm the time and place for their meeting tomorrow.
When the call connected, after stating his intention, Chairman Yao paused for two seconds and said, "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't make it tomorrow. You can meet with President Bao instead."
An unexpected change occurred in the scheduled appointment.
However, Song Guanchao could tell that the other party did not mean to break the appointment deliberately.
At Chairman Yao's level, time was not really free.
He had no idea how many people wanted to see him.
A last-minute cancellation indicated there was something or someone more important that needed his attention.
In comparison, Song Guanchao, a deputy-level official, was indeed not that important.
Song Guanchao was not angry and expressed his understanding.
After hanging up, he waited a few minutes and a number called in.
