Fu Xiaoping: sitting behind his desk, steepling his fingers Where were you last night? Any secret meetings?
I was busy with friends in the cafe pack
Busy with friends? And yet you found the time to meet with me today. leans forward, narrowing his eyes Friends or no friends, I expect loyalty from you.
Loyalty is more than just words, Varicalid. I need proof. stands up and paces around the office Actions speak louder than words.
stops pacing and turns to face Varicalid Anything, you say? Prove it then. walks over to a nearby bookshelf and picks up a book
what do you want me to do
I want you to demonstrate your loyalty by making a sacrifice. pauses, studying Varicalid's reaction
smirks Sacrifice is always the most profound display of loyalty. I want you to give up something precious, something that shows your commitment to me and this organization.
Money is not enough, Varicalid. I want you to give up something personal, something that holds sentimental value. leans in closer
raises an eyebrow Your wife, huh? Well, that certainly shows commitment. Very well, Varicalid. You are proving your loyalty to me today.
she cheated on me so it’s not hard
leans back in his chair, folding his arms Cheated on you, you say? Well, well, Varicalid. It seems we have similar tastes in women.
I’ve been through many relationships
Varicalid reflects on their past and the failed relationships they had been in
I still love her but I’m willing to let go for you
Love, loyalty, and sacrifice. You truly understand the weight of what you're asking for, don't you, Varicalid? pauses, contemplating
narrows his eyes Sir? You dare address me as sir? Remember, Varicalid, your place here is to serve me, not the other way around.
