The next day, at the color TV factory.
A factory-wide employee meeting was called on short notice.
Director He stood on the podium, his face stern.
Behind him stood several police officers in uniform.
Wang Defa and Vice Director Zhang from the municipal bureau were pressed to the side of the stage, like two dead dogs.
The workers below the stage were silent as a grave.
All eyes were focused on the stage.
The silence was so deep that the sound of the wind could be heard.
Director He picked up the microphone, his voice not loud, yet it carried across the whole plaza.
"After an all-night verification by the joint investigation team of the provincial department."
"Former director of the color TV factory, Wang Defa, during his tenure, abused his power for personal gain, replaced good with inferior, and embezzled state property worth hundreds of thousands of yuan."
"His actions constitute the crime of massive embezzlement!"
