Ignoring Zhou Gang, Song Ling turned to the standing Feng Xue and said, "Sit."
Feng Xue shook her head and lightly chuckled, "I'd rather not, President Song. We're here to apologize, so sitting would be inappropriate..."
Before Feng Xue could finish speaking, Zhou Gang beside her sat down abruptly. At the same time, he enthusiastically exclaimed, "Song Corporation really is different! Even the office chairs are more comfortable than the ones in my own home!"
Feng Xue's face turned ashen. She reached out to pull Zhou Gang up, "Stand up!"
Zhou Gang protested, "Why? President Song said we could sit!"
Unable to hold back, Feng Xue kicked Zhou Gang in the leg.
Having been scolded at home for his infidelity, Zhou Gang had taken it. But now, in public, and with so many eyes on him, his face burned with shame.
Grim-faced, Zhou Gang rose, ready to strike Feng Xue.
