Chapter 13: Front Row
Weicheng did not say no.
He stood in the study doorway with his hair still wet and looked at the pages in Yichen's hands.
Zhou Qingyao looked at him, and at Yichen, and put her glasses back on very slowly.
"I'm taking the congee," she said. "I'll be at the noodle shop. Don't break the furniture, it's a nice desk."
She went past the Chairman without touching the doorframe, and the front door shut behind her.
The flat was so quiet that Yichen heard the water tick in the pipes.
"Ask," Weicheng said.
"You know what I'm going to ask."
"Ask it anyway."
Yichen put the running order down on the blotter, square to the edge, the way he squared a pattern before he cut it.
"You stood in a glass box and watched Zhiyuan take my collection."
"Yes."
"You saw me stand up in the fourth row."
"Yes."
"I was holding a ring, Chairman."
His voice cracked on the last word, and he hated it.
"I was going to give it to him in the car park. I'd saved for it for eight months. You looked straight down at me, and I thought, he feels sorry for me, that's the man who owns this building, he feels sorry for me."
Weicheng's face did not move.
"One word from you would have stopped it. One call to the stage manager before the envelope. You made that prize in your own office, with your own pencil."
"Yichen."
"And you let me sit there with it in my fist and thank the thief."
He had thrown the sheets down without noticing.
They lay across the carpet, eleven of them, white as bone.
"Say it," Yichen said. "I want to hear you say it. Did you know?"
