"Then learn it.If you can’t even play mahjong,how’ll you get along with your colleagues and superiors?"
As they bickered,Nian Liangfu hurried in from the hall,flushed dark red from exhaustion or haste,he shoved aside guests blocking his path.
"Why are you still wasting time on this dammed mahjong!" He stamped his feet before Xuan Daiyun,"Clear the tables, now!" Spinning to the stunned players, he waved his hands,"Game’s over, everyone."
Xuan Daiyun frowned,"What’s wrong?"
"What’s wrong? We’ve got huge news!" Nian Liangfu whirled back,"Director Bai’s aide just called that Director Bai himself is coming tonight!"
Xuan Daiyun still looked confused,"Director Bai? Isn’t Director Liao your department leader?"
"No time to explain!" Sweat glistened on his forehead as he paced and rubbed his hands anxiously,"Tell the servants to clear the tables.Director Bai is a high-ranking official we could never get an audience with.How lucky we are.He,just returned from overseas studies,is a brilliant young talent.Word has it he loathes officials idling away time on mahjong and opera shows."

He paused suddenly,then shouted toward the yard servant outside the window,"Nian Gui,call to cancel tonight’s opera troupe,tell them not to come!"
Turning back, he saw the absorbed players frozen, all staring at him.He roared, "Clear the tables!"
The crowd snapped,did what they supposed to do.Maids and attendants rushed forward to move the tables away.
One servant stepped forward and asked,"Sir, two of these tables were borrowed from Mr. Zhang next door. Shall we return them right away?"
"Why return them? Throw away,leave not a single piece,let along with the mahjong tiles!"
