Among the statements made by top executives extracted from press conferences and third-party committee reports, there are some stray words and unusual words that make you want to ask, "Did the president really say this?" You can see it. What is revealed is not only the honest feelings of the managers, but also the reality of a company seriously lacking in governance, or perhaps a glimpse of the state of society.
