บท 32: Truths and Falsities

On Monday, the regular meeting for the company management was held.

Lin Qian arrived rather early. After sitting for a while, managers of the various departments and the company's executives started to stream in.

The New Year's decorations hanging from the ceiling that had been hung the "previous year" hadn't yet been taken down. They added some warm colors to the room. No matter how much tribulations there had been in the past year, the managers all wore grins on their faces; they welcomed one another back warmly and enjoyed themselves by joking around.

Whenever the big boss wasn't present, the meeting room was always bustling with activity.
