Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Wu Hao flexed his wrists, then had his roommates set him down, “We had already sent you the evidence, and not only did you not handle it, you even threatened us, I believe many athletes’ complaints were dismissed, no?”

Many athlete’s from the audience agreed, “Exactly, when we went to report it, they wouldn’t even listen to us. They even said if we bothered them again, they would ban us from competing ever again.”

Wu Hao took out a loudspeaker from behind the stretcher, then placed his phone behind the loudspeaker, and a lengthy recording started to play.

The male leader said, “Let them make a fuss, they are just college students and junior staff, they don’t have much capability or background, we don’t need to care about them. What we need to do now is to protect our own people and, after we get the rewards, distribute them according to merits.”

The female leader said, “We can’t turn all the winners into our people, or it will be discovered. Pick a few weaker ones to be the last in each event, but choose those from well-off families who won’t care much about the physical prizes and won’t trouble us.”

The male leader said, “Hmm, let’s do it this way, you go and talk to them later, let them be careful while handling things, don’t give others any leverage against us.”

The female leader asked, “Should we replace those photographers? If it weren’t for their videos, we wouldn’t have landed in such big trouble,”

The male leader said, “Let’s hold out for half more day, the photographers for the marathon must be professional athletes. Tonight, I will propose to Chief Tao to add some robots with photography features, then replace those professional athletes. Professional athletes are too annoying, all they think about are sportsmanship, who needs so much sportsmanship? Making a profit is the real deal!”

The recording ended there, it was unclear who recorded it, but it was very clear, and the two voices were easily recognizable as those of the two leaders on stage. The two leaders’ faces turned ugly, but they still tried to find excuses to explain the recording, however, they never got the chance to speak as a plastic stool flew towards them, missing them but hitting the microphone stand beside them.

A man in an orange shirt cursed, “Fuck you, I worked so hard to prepare, yet you made me lose so thoroughly, I didn’t get the first place, neither should you get the money!” He picked up the microphone stand from the ground and shouted, “Brothers, let’s fight them!”

His group, all hot-blooded young men adept at brawling, immediately showed their weapons upon hearing “let’s fight them”, and swarmed onto the stage.

The venue’s security finally reached the stage, and the remaining members of the organizing committee could no longer just sit and watch, they all hurried onto the stage to try to stop the fighting.

About twenty to thirty people rushed onto the stage, each wielding a weapon, whether it was plastic stools or sports equipment picked up from the ground. Clearly, the brawl today was unavoidable.

Tan Rou and the others just stood and watched from below the stage, Li Li wanted to go up to help Wu Hao only to be pulled back by Tan Rou.

Tan Rou said, “Don’t go, it’s very chaotic up there now, and with all that stuff flying around, it won’t be good if you were hit.”

Li Li anxiously said, “Senior Wu Hao is still up there, I want to go help him.”

Tan Rou pointed to the stage and said, “Wu Hao and his roommates aren’t there to fight, they will probably retreat to a safe place very soon. And even if you went up, you wouldn’t be able to help, those people are fierce fighters who don’t blink an eye in battle, and they don’t know you; if you go, they might think you’re an opponent and attack you.”

Li Li hesitated, then said, “Then I’ll wait a bit longer.”

With things having turned out this way, it was surprising no one thought to call the police. The audience below thought this matter had nothing to do with them, they were just here to watch the competitions, and naturally, it should be the organizing committee’s job to call the police. But all the members of the committee were up there fighting, with no one thinking to make the call.
