In the dining room, Mr. Chen Tian sat at the head of the long table while others sat around eating a lavish breakfast.
A large TV screen hung on the wall opposite the table.
A presenter, dressed in a khaki uniform, was seated in a broadcast room delivering the day's news:
"Daily Financial Morning News: Yesterday, a major bribery scandal involving senior executives in the investment department of Shengda Game, a subsidiary of Shengda Group, led to the plummeting of Shengda Group's stock, triggering a trading halt."
"Previously, on the evening of September 31, Shengda Group released its third-quarter performance report. The company achieved a net profit of 630 million yuan in the first three quarters, a decrease of 35.54% year-on-year."
