Chapter 20: The Bow
Yu walked the length of the hall between the round tables with three hundred faces turned to him, and nobody stopped him.
"Zhenghan," said Cen, from the head table, with a fond, patient laugh. "Sit down. This is Mr. Mo's night."
"It's about Mr. Mo. That is why I'm standing."
"We can talk afterwards," said Cen.
"We can't, Wenjun-ge. Ms. Gu, please."
At the back of the room Gu Anran touched her phone.
The great screen behind the head table, which had been showing the Hexin logo in gold, went white.
A document came up on it.
INTERNAL SECURITY REPORT 0314. GREYWATER GAMES. CONFIDENTIAL.
A murmur went round the tables.
Yu stood at the foot of the dais.
He did not look at the screen.
"Three years ago," he said, "on the fourteenth of March, I received this report."
"It said that a senior designer at my studio, Mo Chenyao, had copied our unreleased design file to an outside drive."
"The time on the log was 23:40 on the night of the thirteenth."
"I read it once," said Yu. "I did not check it."
"At nine the next morning, on the ninth floor of my building, in front of forty people, I fired him."
The silence in the hall was complete.
