The blank map became popular.
This sentence should have been impossible.
Blank things did not become popular. Blank things became ignored, misplaced, or used as scratch paper.
But Xplendi had a special talent for making Yang Ruoqian's least useful decisions useful in a way that sounded humble.
By nine in the morning, three departments had asked for access to the non-map reference.
Yang rejected all three requests.
Then he asked who the three departments were.
Finance.
Compliance.
Live event operations.
The first two were predictable villains.
The third made him nervous.
"Why does live event operations want rejected venue files?"
Lu Shuyuan read the request. "They said they are not using the files for venues."
"That is not an answer."
"They are using them to identify what not to rent."
Yang leaned back.
There it was.
The most evil value in business:
Avoiding mistakes.
Mistakes cost money. Avoiding them saved money. Saving money helped profits. Profits hurt Yang.
