Yang Ruoqian spent the entire evening regretting the word "yet."
Do not repair yet.
The first three words were excellent. Firm, economical, full of loss-preserving wisdom. The fourth word was a traitor wearing a polite hat. It left space. It created expectation. It allowed Xplendi employees to build a bridge from refusal to future planning and then pretend the bridge had been his idea.
So at the morning meeting, Yang Ruoqian corrected himself in front of everyone.
"The second hall is not a project."
The cinema team sat straighter.
Yang Ruoqian continued, "Do not repair it. Do not package it. Do not turn it into an event. It is a sealed hall with problems, and sealed halls should remain sealed until necessary safety work forces our hand."
This time, no one could misunderstand.
Director Chen looked at the form in his hands. "Then we only perform the minimum safety check?"
Yang Ruoqian frowned. "A safety check is not repair."
