Hu Jiaping's recent incident made Fan Shao and others view Li Yan in a new light, though it also left some guilty-feeling supervisors drenched in sweat, extremely nervous. However, since they weren't in the meeting together, those employee representatives still hadn't realized the potential danger to themselves. Some even thought Li Yan was true to his word, using the opportunity to clear out some of the management and promote them. But when faced with his choice, they started to sense something was off.
Others began whispering among themselves, initially being stirred up. However, with several days of no work, some were already feeling uneasy. Now, hearing the words from the leadership sent from headquarters, it seemed there was more to be said, and everyone started to discuss.
