The conference room fell into brief silence, then someone stood up.
"Director Song, I think deciding so quickly like this is too hasty."
The speaker was the Director of the Document Department, surnamed Su.
As soon as he spoke, others chimed in, "Director Yuan and Director Ke have always been dedicated to their work. They must have had something urgent yesterday to leave work early. Director Song shouldn't assume they're slacking off because of one or two instances."
Song Guanchao glanced at those speaking up for the two, who were all attendees of the dinner hosted by Shi Qin that evening.
He was quite surprised; he hadn't expected these people to be so loyal.
He had thought they would be indifferent to matters that didn't concern them.
It seemed they were worried that if he targeted them now, they would be next.
This gave them a sense of crisis.
"Director Ke, Director Yuan."
