By the time the morning meeting began, Yang Ruoqian had already opened the same file six times. Each time, the conclusion remained offensive: Moon Mansion treated Xplendi's accidental restraint as a strategic threat. If a project could no longer fail cleanly after losing money, what dignity did a loser have left?
Yang Ruoqian's private calculation was still very professional. The plan around the Moon Mansion Emergency Meeting matter had receipts, workflow, and enough normal business logic to pass the system's eyes. Better yet, the costs were concrete: archiving, editing time, staff aftercare, rejected publicity, and rival noise that should have diluted attention. A normal boss would ask how to convert those costs into growth. Yang only cared whether the post-release cooling could keep swallowing money without producing a number large enough to punish him.
