The shareholder huffed. "I have also read the rule book. He has twenty minutes after the meeting has officially started to arrive. You can't terminate him until that time is crossed!" he claimed.
The speaker nodded. "Indeed."
But it was highly disrespectful not to be on time at one's own trial. It was saying that he didn't care about the outcome. Qian Meng didn't know which paragraph of the Art of War Bai Ye Qing had taken note of, but this wouldn't work in a scenario where respect for the company and authority was involved.
"Let's proceed," Mr. Bai announced. "We will wait twenty minutes for Director Bai to arrive. If he doesn't arrive by then, he will be terminated immediately." His voice was confident, leaving no room for dispute.
The speaker nodded. Silence prevailed and he finally started to speak.
The attendance was taken, and all members of the board and related personnel were present. Except for Bai Ye Qing.
