Rotten from the Head Down

Intermediate: Rotten from the Head Down

The board had taken quick action when rumours of accounting irregularities had hit the local papers, commissioning Detective Zhen to investigate the allegations. But once he had uncovered evidence of embezzlement at the local subdivision, something had compelled him to keep digging. And the further he dug, the less regular overall corporate finances seemed, and what he found pointed to much deeper problems than a single corrupt staffer....

This week on Popup Chinese, the fish rots from the head down in a show that features bribery, embezzlement, kickbacks and more. Join us as we explore the darker side of corporate malfeasance, and teach you the language you'll need to know to navigate your way through blackmail and corruption in the Middle Kingdom.

I love tough intermediate dialogues. Nice one, guys.

Pound for pound, this might be as tough as your Advanced dialogue-based lessons, like "The End of the World" and "The Detective Welder." I wasn't following the plot until you unpacked the new vocab in the line by line.

Great show. Quite challenging though, I also had trouble with it.

In my opinion this was one of the more useful and practical lessons. More like this please! :-) This lesson makes me think of one of my favorite tv dramas 冬至

@jaynewman.china,

Yeah. I normally remove this sort of thing, but it wasn't quite spammy enough to delete on principle. Most of the trolls we get spamming the site are advertising schools. At least in this case the offer is language exchange rather than simply Chinese tutoring.

So off-topic in this thread, but how do people feel about this sort of thing? Unless it becomes endemic, I'm happy to let the odd offer for language partners stick. Or we could just make it a policy to delete on lesson pages. Where do you guys feel comfortable drawing the line?

If it's just a guy looking for a language exchange, that's certainly not a big deal, but it read to me more like someone looking for customers. I might have misread...

If it's a fee-earning teacher, I figure it doesn't belong on the site unless it's something actually recommended by your company, in which case you'd probably have it elsewhere. But a one-off is probably not worth the effort of patrolling - it's not that big a deal.

I disagree. It's inappropriate, it's disrespectful and indulging it simply encourages more of the same. Rewarding such behaviour is a green flag to others. But hey, it's your business at the end of the day and the buck stops with you.

Yeah I also feel that once off it's not a big deal, but it would be annoying if more and more people started doing it; that's what places like iTalki are for.

So maybe if there are more than a certain number of those sorts of comments on a lesson, delete them all? (say, 3?)
