Chapter 282 - Offering a Limerick! (1/2)
At the same moment.
Weiwo Company.
The WebTV department was still filled with people who were working overtime. Dong Shanshan had come back to discuss how to handle the halted “Online Talents” and deal with it’s fallout.
As everyone was busy discussing.
Somewhere at the back office.
A logistic staff member suddenly looked straight dumbfounded. Then he pointed at the computer screen and shouted out to everyone, “Everyone, quick, take a look! Quickly look at this video online!”
“What?”
“What video?”
“We’re having a small meeting right now.”
“Yea, we’re already in this situation, what’s there still worth watching?”
Everyone was speechless. Feng Guiqin and w.a.n.g Xiong also frowned.
But that person was still extremely anxious. He kept saying, “Director Feng, Director w.a.n.g, something big just happened!”
Only then did everyone get the graveness of the situation. Feng Guiqin walked over and said, “What’s the matter? What’s the video about?”
“You’ll understand when you watch it.” That person immediately replayed the video. Everyone else in the office also came over to watch as Li Tao’s words were delivered into everyone’s ears!
“For crying out loud!” Feng Guiqin exclaimed after watching the video!
w.a.n.g Xiong was also furious as he slammed on the table, “This bullying is outrageous! This is pus.h.i.+ng it too far!”
An old man in the office said, “I had thought the crackdown this time was just being stricter, but who knew there was such a conspiracy! They were intentionally coming after us!”
A young girl, who was working as an a.s.sistant, said angrily, “He said it clearly that our Talk Show and Talent Show had no problems, and even instructed his subordinates not to deal too harshly to those pirated programs! What the h.e.l.l does that Li Tao want?! Does he still have regards for the law!”
Dong Shanshan asked, “How reliable is the video?”
A moment later, Sister Four, who had already knocked off and left the office building, was called back. She sat in front of the computer momentarily to investigate the video, then turned around and nodded to everyone, “Although I am not a professional, but I’ve spent more than 10 years shooting and making videos. This video is definitely real. The movement of the mouth and audio is synchronized perfectly. This was definitely not edited. A very skilled hacker probably hacked into Li Tao’s home computer and recorded this video. Chief Li is…done for this time!”
Feng Guiqin did not say a second word. She immediately grabbed her cellphone and made a call. She did not look for her friend, nor any contact. She called in directly to Shanghai SARFT’s mainline and questioned them furiously!
On the other side.
At a certain hotel in Shanghai.
Li Tao had just finished his bath and was comfortably lying in the bed. He had a cigarette in his mouth as he quietly hummed a melody, probably a melody from his home city.
A woman’s figure could be seen behind the frosted gla.s.s in the bathroom.
“Are you done?” Li Tao urged on.
“What are you in a rush for? Isn’t your wife at work?” The woman said.
Li Tao flicked the ash off his cigarette, “She went in for overtime.”
The woman said, “I was wondering why you’d be so free today. Are you going back tonight?”
Li Tao laughed loudly, “I’m not going back. I said I was going in for overtime too. Anyway, I’d be going to the office from here tomorrow. It’s not too far away from here. My baby, I missed you so much!”
“Naughty jerk,” the woman scolded him with a smile.
The cellphone suddenly rang!
Li Tao frowned. He did not want to answer it at first, but seeing that the call was from a Leader at work, he reluctantly said to the person in the bathroom, “Don’t speak. I need to answer a call!”
“It’s already this late, who is it?” the woman complained.
“My leader, don’t speak anymore!” Li Tao then answered the call.
On the other side was a middle-aged man who said in an angry voice, “Li Tao, I don’t care where you are at now! Come to the office in 10 minutes!”
“Ah? Leader….”
Du, du. The line was already cut!
Li Tao was stunned, what’s going on? What had happened?
The bathroom door opened and a woman wrapped in a towel came out, “What’s the matter?”
Li Tao hesitated for a moment before putting on his clothes, “I’m going out for a while, something came up at the office.” Then ignoring her complaints, he rushed back to the office in his car. As he had a guilty conscience, his heart was drumming all the way back to the office. He did not know why his leader was in such a rage.
Shanghai SARFT unit.
Today was a rest day and it was also past 8 in the evening. There weren’t many people around, except for two guards on duty outside. A few cars were parked in the yard outside. They were the cars of several Leaders of Shanghai SARFT and other team leaders. Li Tao was feeling curious. Why were so many Leaders back here tonight? Did something major happen?
Upstairs, in a small conference room.
Li Tao was the last to arrive. He pushed open the door and went inside. There were 7-8 other people and almost all of the Shanghai SARFT’s leaders were there. Noticing that everyone had arrived before him, Li Tao understood something. According to his estimates, he had arrived at the office within five minutes after being instructed to do so, but the others had arrived even faster than him? Clearly, the Leader had informed them before himself!
This turnout.
Did something bad happen?
Li Tao was getting uncomfortable and nervous, “Leader.”
At once, everyone looked over at Li Tao.
