It was 9:30 in the morning. Every department head and higher-level employee had gathered in the large meeting room at Tianyu Headquarters, including several managers who were supposed to be on annual leave.
It was the launch meeting for the new project in Li City [sic] to confirm the person-in-charge for each phase and also KPI for individual departments.
More than 10 minutes into the scheduled time, their boss had yet showed up.
Murmuring started to fill the room.
"What happened to boss today?" Yang Yan, chief secretary, elbowed the colleague chewing gum next to her, Liu Lili.
"I have no idea. Boss was never late." Liu Lili shook her head.
"It can't be that…" Yan Yang suddenly leaned over to Liu Lili and whispered, "He probably got caught."
"What?" Liu Lili looked totally at a loss.
