Chapter 15: The Chairman's Mistake

Qiao Weicheng sat at the head of the walnut table on Monday morning.

For the first time in nine years he could not feel his own hands.

Yichen had not called on Sunday.

Weicheng had not called either, because a man who had asked for three years did not know how to ask a fourth time.

He had picked up the phone nine times, and put it down nine times.

The folder of photographs sat on the table in front of him, closed.

"Item one," said Director Meng.

She had both hands folded over her jade bracelet.

She had brought five of the seven directors with her, in a row down the left side of the table.

"The creative division requests an inquiry into the Chairman's conflict of interest," she said. "He has married a rival claimant to a Meridian prize. The market sees it. The press sees it. In the interests of the group, I propose the Golden Needle file be sealed, the award stand as made, and Mr. Lan's public statements be answered with a defamation notice."

Weicheng looked at the folder.

He had thought of this morning for a month.

He had planned it, in fact, with the care of a man laying a trap.

Hold the line, let her overreach, let the board see it, and then lift the folder and end her with one page.
