Chapter 1334: Chapter 1334: Taboo
“Bang!” The office door was suddenly thrown open, and Song Jinyan hurried out, leaving only a silhouette behind as he descended the stairs.
Not bothering to continue his standoff with Zou Yi, Songshan quickly followed suit, and the two left in a rush.
Zou Yi, with a pounding heart, peered into the office and saw that the third brother, Zhou Hengguang, was actually pouring himself a drink with his back to the door. It was the high-end foreign liquor he had brought back from abroad this time.
Is this a sign of distress?
Who won in the end in the scuffle just now?
“What are you looking at?” Zhou Hengguang snapped irritably, “Aren’t you going to pack your things? Are you that idle?”
“Oh!” No wounds on the face, but who knows about the rest of the body.
Once Zou Yi left, Zhou Hengguang, holding a gla.s.s, lifted his arm and couldn’t help but hiss in pain, “d.a.m.n it! Such a heavy-handed blow.”
At the entrance of the design inst.i.tute, Song Jinyan strode into the car, and as he settled back into his seat, he instinctively pursed his lips, his deep and calm eyes filled with anger. Songshan, in the driver’s seat, caught a glimpse of this in the corner of his eye and a trace of amus.e.m.e.nt flashed through his gaze.
It had been so long since he had seen the boss so emotional. Anyone who could push the boss to such lengths would consider themselves lucky. Yet the Su sisters were utterly indifferent, not even granting the opportunity.
As the car drove smoothly, Song Jinyan finally spoke after a prolonged silence, with a hint of hesitation, “Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival.”
“Yeah! The secretaries are off for a day tomorrow,” Songshan pretended not to understand the underlying message from the boss, feigning ignorance.
“Do you give gifts for the Lantern Festival?”
“Sure do!” Songshan rambled on, “Relatives, friends, cla.s.smates, colleagues, childhood friends, comrades-in-arms—basically anyone there’s a connection with. I had it all listed with my mother. We started handing them out one by one since before the New Year and just finished up the day before yesterday. Being busy with the New Year festivities is more hectic than regular work, and even then, I had to decline a lot of gatherings.”
“This society is a society of social obligations. Everyone lives within an order, and there are unavoidable things.” Song Jinyan’s tone was solemn, his att.i.tude realistic and profound. The more privileged the family, the more enmeshed you are in social relations. You have to adhere, to maintain, to respond appropriately, and if you want to succeed, you must master it.
Without control, even the strongest of abilities will inevitably lead to failure.
“Even I cannot do as I please,” he said. These days had also been busy for him, but he stayed informed, aware of what he needed to know.
“It was Zhou Hengshan’s overly arrogant and aloof personality,” Songshan sighed.
Song Jinyan’s brows furrowed slightly as he cautioned, “Don’t mention that in the future. He has become a taboo.”
Songshan wouldn’t have been curious if Song Jinyan hadn’t said anything, but now that he had been warned, the curiosity in his heart was piqued. However, Songshan quickly suppressed his curiosity, mindful of the confidentiality regulations. Anything or anyone declared as taboo by the boss must be of significant importance, a secret.
In fact, Songshan had already heard vague rumors that Zhou Hengshan’s death was no simple matter and that something significant was involved. As for what it was, no one knew, nor dared to find out. Thinking about it, it made sense; a perfectly healthy person was suddenly gone, and if it were not for Zhou Hengyang’s abrupt severing of ties, no one would have known about Zhou Hengshan’s death.
After all, the brothers looked exactly alike, and those not familiar with them could hardly tell them apart.
“Do you think I should arrange for someone to send a gift to Su Wen and her family as usual?” Finally, Song Jinyan circled back to the topic at hand.
Songshan shook his head helplessly, “I’m afraid they wouldn’t appreciate it.”
A hint of desolation tinged Song Jinyan’s brows.
Seeing this, Songshan couldn’t bear it; when had the boss ever lowered his pride to seek the favor of someone like this? So he set his mind on devising a solution, and as he pondered, he actually came up with a good idea.
