Chapter 1208: Chapter 1208: Something Happened
“President Song…” The secretary’s eyes, filled with grievance, reddened as she quickly bowed and apologized, “I’m sorry, I won’t dare to do it again, I will be careful next time.”
“Be careful next time, and if you dare to make a mistake again, I will fire you.” Song Zishan waved her hand irritably.
Ever since her fallout with Lu Jianan, her mood had been terrible and her temper fiery. Everyone was now cursing Lu Jianan for being ungrateful and failing to recognize favors; she should have been happy, should have enjoyed watching the drama unfold and seeing Lu Jianan receive his comeuppance, but even with her objectives achieved, she did not feel the joy she had imagined.
Instead, her temper grew even fiercer.
To be honest, Song Zishan felt some regret deep down, but admitting it was out of the question as it meant losing face.
And apologizing to Lu Jianan was absolutely impossible.
In the past, they had quarreled too, but it was always Lu Jianan who would appease her, persuade her, and apologize to her. Now, she hadn’t even said anything before Lu Jianan dared to argue with her. Ultimately, it amounted to betrayal, and with that thought, Song Zishan immediately dismissed any internal contemplation.
That kind of person wasn’t worth her regret.
“It won’t happen, I will be more attentive in the future. Thank you, President Song, for giving me a chance to correct my error,” the secretary apologized earnestly and fearfully. After finis.h.i.+ng her apology, she remembered the reason she had rushed in and hastily added, “President Song, I have something to report.”
“Then say it quickly.”
“It’s about Xinxing Printing Factory, with whom we’ve collaborated. The 100,000 copies of the New Year’s special edition have all been returned.”
“What? Returned?” Song Zishan, upon hearing this, grew furious, “Why were they returned? Wasn’t everything agreed upon well? Haven’t you always been cooperating with Xinxing?”
“I… I went to see the owner of the printing factory, but the owner flat out refused to meet me, without explaining the reasons.”
“Is it because of unpaid salary?” Song Zishan furrowed her brows and muttered angrily, “A bunch of ingrates. Let Xinxing go bankrupt tomorrow. Never mind, I’m currently worried about the New Year’s special edition release. Let it be, if Xinxing wants to die, so be it. Find another factory to collaborate with; I refuse to believe there isn’t one that doesn’t want money. We will just pay in advance if needed.”
However, the secretary, upon hearing her words, showed no signs of relief and looked like she was about to cry.
“I’ve tried. I contacted every printing factory in the Province, and not a single one is willing to work with us. Also… also, the employee you fired before has sued you, and among…”
As Song Zishan’s face grew increasingly grim and ashen, the secretary could no longer continue.
Today’s series of events struck everyone like a bolt from the blue, one bad thing following another, each worse than the last. Now, the entire Lip Petal Society was in a state of panic, everyone worried about soon being unemployed.
Song Zishan plummeted into the chair behind her, and finally, the series of events made her, who had climbed high because of her pride, calm her usually uncontrolled mind.
She was not foolish, quite the opposite; she was clever. But having always had smooth sailing and leaning on the absolute power of the Song family meant everyone had to flatter and pamper her. Whatever she did, people were always ready to rush and resolve any problems for her.
This, in turn, fostered Song Zishan’s arrogance and belief in her unmatched status.
Now, it felt like a cold bucket of water had been dumped on her, like a fire abruptly doused by someone.
Song Zishan clenched her fists tightly, rapidly thinking matters through, and after a long time, she said, “Who is trying to mess with me behind the scenes? They really want to die?” While her mouth spoke of death, deep inside, a vague suspicion formed.
The person acting this time was evidently not wary of the Song family.
If even the Song family didn’t scare them, then what was she, Song Zishan, considered? Such a thought emerging made Song Zishan’s face terrifyingly twisted and fierce.
