What Professor Yang told Li Long was as good as a dose of reassurance.
Professor Yang also thanked Li Long's production team for the local specialties they had brought him. He said they were all friends and there was no need to stand on ceremony. When he had time, he would visit the Fourth Team and see everyone. After all, he had spent time there back in the day.
