Chapter 13: Not in the Lesson Plan
"It is a stamp," said Linchuan.
He put the stub back in the shoebox, very gently, and closed the lid.
"The foundation signs forty thousand cards a year," he said. "I had a machine sign most of them by the second year."
"I never knew who held any of these."
"I know," said Anzhi. "I wasn't saying anything."
"No."
"Does it matter?"
"No," said Linchuan, "it does not matter at all," and turned away to ask Ma about the vinegar.
Anzhi watched his back.
A machine, Linchuan had said, and he had said it fast, and he had gone white around the mouth.
Linchuan did not lie well.
He very seldom lied at all.
Anzhi closed the shoebox lid properly, and put it on its shelf, and did not press.
He was learning when a thing should be waited for.
The board sat the next morning in the Jiang boardroom, and Anzhi was not allowed in.
He waited in the corridor with his friend, who was holding a tray of tea that no one had asked for.
After an hour the doors opened, and the directors filed out without looking at him.
The butler came last, ashen.
"They have suspended the Master," he said. "Pending an inquiry into misuse of the acting head's authority."
