Once they came to an agreement, the matter was settled. A few days later, it was the end of the month, and Liu Yuan's team caught those few people red-handed. However, they kept it quiet. When they saw the list of candidates for outstanding employee submitted at the end of the month, those same people's names were on it. Liu Yuan sneered. This time, none of them would be able to get away.
The department store closed at 8:30 p.m., after which they gathered all the employees for a meeting. During the meeting, the offenders' behavior was severely criticized. They were made to write self-criticisms and had three months of their bonuses docked. One of them was still defiant, arguing that he had only received two months of bonuses, so how could they dock three? As a result, Liu Yuan and Qu Feng reprimanded him and docked him an extra month's bonus. They announced to all employees that a first offense would be recorded; a second would result in immediate dismissal.
