Return of the King, Chapter 1567: 1461: Sense of Social Responsibility

Capítulo 1567: Chapter 1461: Sense of Social Responsibility

Song Yun really didn’t expect that the Song Family’s residence was actually not very far from this Huaiji Hall. The drive just now took quite a while, probably because of going through security checks and taking detours.

“I heard that in three days, you’re going to be a father,” the other person said. “Congratulations! When I was your age, I didn’t have kids yet, haha!”

“Well, you’re busy with important matters, while I’m free every day, so I can only focus on having kids,” Song Yun said casually. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized it sounded a bit too frivolous. He was about to explain when he heard the other person laugh out loud.

“Hahaha, I’m not doing any big things!”

Suddenly, the other person said this, startling Song Yun quite a bit.

“When I was your age, I was still training in the frontier’s big army. It was much more chaotic back then, so naturally, there wasn’t ti for those romantic affairs.”

“Well…” Song Yun didn’t expect the other person to have no airs and start talking about past events. He felt a bit uncomfortable for a mont.

“Don’t be too formal with !”

The other person said, “Outside, I have to act like the person in charge, but here in my office, we’re neighbors, so let’s relax a bit. Here, have a smoke!”

Saying this, the other person picked up a pack of red Jin Xing cigarettes without any text from the table and pulled out a cigarette, handing it to Song Yun.

Even though Song Yun had basically quit smoking, this was the prestigious Tianzi No.1 cigarette. If he didn’t accept it, he’d be considered foolish.

Song Yun took the cigarette with both hands.

“Here!”

The other person picked up a lighter and lit the cigarette.

Song Yun was totally overwheld. For God’s sake, this was a big shot! What is a big shot? Soone truly above tens of millions! In the latest global rankings of the most powerful n, this person in front of him even surpassed the leader of the United States to beco the world’s most charismatic man.

Such a man was lighting a cigarette for him, and Song Yun inexplicably felt a bit dizzy.

“Don’t just stand there, smoke,” the other person said with a smile, urging him.

“Oh!! Okay, okay.” Song Yun quickly brought his head closer and lit the cigarette, taking a slight puff.

The taste was llow; it was a very good cigarette.

“When I was young, I was also a heavy smoker, but now I’ve gotten older, and my family doesn’t allow it,” the other person said, taking out a cigarette, looking at it. “This thing was brought up by the people below. It’s better than the special supply pandas. I only smoke one occasionally. If you like it, you can have it!”

“No need, no need, thank you. I’m planning to quit smoking too,” Song Yun said.

“Not smoking is ultimately good; it can corrupt one’s nerves,” the other person said with a smile.

“Indeed.” Song Yun nodded.

“Actually, the reason I asked you to co today was mainly to have a chat,” the other person said, taking a puff of the cigarette. “I know about your Shura Alliance in Sunan, and I understand your unique culture. It seems that you don’t just want to treat Shura Alliance as a traditional organization with old-school values. The current Shura Alliance, in so aspects, is also fulfilling certain social functions, right!”

“Yes.” Song Yun nodded, saying, “Actually, I don’t want to call Shura Alliance a group of lawbreakers. I prefer to describe it as an organization!”

“Oh, tell

about your concept!”

The other person asked, interested.

“This is kind of an obsession in my heart. I always feel that today’s society is sowhat deford!”

Song Yun said, glancing at the other person, who smiled and said, “Just speak your mind!”

“In today’s society, everything has been monetized; everything is tied to money. Actually, if you look past many of today’s societal phenona, what you see is money. An old man gets knocked down, extorts people; why? Money. Soone falls into the water, there’s a boat nearby; why not rescue? Because people demand money to help, again for money. The failure to control housing prices is outrageous, yet the system has no way to handle it; why? Again, because of money. The whole Shen Zhou society is completely saturated with the sll of money, lacking humanity, integrity, justice, and much more. And I am powerless, because I’m not you. Of course, I’m talking about the big picture where I’m powerless. In the smaller environnt, I can, to so extent, intervene a bit,” Song Yun said.

“How to intervene? Like the current Shura Alliance?” the other person asked curiously.

“Yes.”

“The current Shura Alliance is also fulfilling social responsibilities. There are things the system can’t handle that we can act as a backup for. We haven’t done anything outrageous, quite the opposite. We’ve actually helped the ordinary little people.”

“You do have quite a sense of social responsibility,” the other person seed amused by what Song Yun said.

“I was once a pissed-off youth,” Song Yun said. “But now I’ve beco a pseudo-angry youth, haha!”

“However, I have to remind you of one thing: there are so things you shouldn’t do. I still hope you can run Shura Alliance thoroughly as a company. In this regard, you should cooperate more with Li Baoshi. Li Baoshi is a Hong Kong businessman, and if you can work comprehensively with him, it would be quite beneficial for your developnt,” the other person said.

“I understand this.” Song Yun nodded.

“When the ti cos, I’ll dispatch people from the Ministry of Propaganda. I hope that when they go, they’ll see a grassroots organization in society, one dedicated to charity and maintaining social order. You understand what I an, right?” the other person asked.

“I understand!”

Song Yun nodded again.

“I can’t have the people below make a promotional video highlighting you as the boss of the dark side of Shen Zhou Southeast, saying that Comrade Song Yun is the East South King of Shen Zhou, right?” the other person said.

“Right!”

Song Yun nodded.

“Of course, Song Yun, you can reap the benefits, but you also have to contribute,” the other person said.

“What should I do?” Song Yun asked.

“Stay away from the things that co in privately,” the other person said. “Although they may not be enough to shake the foundation of the country, you are undermining socialism, and the country needs developnt and a lot of money!”

“This…” Song Yun hesitated for a mont, then said, “But…”

“There’s no ‘but.’ For the other issues, we can have a eting to discuss them slowly. And, of course, if you’re interested, you’re welco to join in and provide so of your ideas.”
