Chapter 5 — 3500 Currency And A Slap In The Face Of The Whole Company

“Just a little more, we're making a bolder improvement.”

“Director Vuong, rest assured, everything is still under control.”

At the same time, customers also started calling more and more frequently. They have begun to ask for a specific time for the first exchange of options. Each time, Director Vuong could only smile wryly and explain that the plan was being finalized to ensure the best results. But after hanging up the phone... He immediately put all the pressure on Truong Hao's head. The whole project team is like an anthill placed on a fire pan. Truong Hao didn't understand but still tried to pretend to understand. Director Vuong is so frantic that he can't find a cure. The two of them pulled the group straight into a dead end. The project completely fell into a deadlock. When telling these stories to me, To Tinh's voice was filled with uncontrollable gloating. She said the atmosphere in the company is currently tense to the point of being stuffy. Truong Hao gets angry every day, beats the mouse, and curses others as useless. As for Director Vuong, he was like a ghost wandering around in the office, walking back and forth non-stop, muttering the same sentence:

“What should I do…”

After listening, I didn't have too many fluctuations in my heart. Because of all this… I had predicted it a long time ago. This is not revenge. I only take back what belongs to me. And they... Are paying the price for their own arrogance and stupidity. I completely blocked all phone numbers of Director Vuong and the human resources department. Two days later, my life was strangely quiet. I submitted my resume to several recruitment sites. Thanks to the solid project experience accumulated over the past few years, I quickly received feedback. Wednesday morning, I received an interview call. The voice of the girl from the human resources side is very easy to hear, and her attitude is professional and polite. She said their company was Lam Hai Technology. After looking at the profile, the technical director was extremely interested in my experience and hoped I could come for an interview soon. Lam Hai Technology. My heart moved slightly. Isn't that the company of the customer of the new energy project? The party placed a bid package of 50 million yuan. It's truly a small world. I suppressed the strange feelings in my heart and politely agreed to the interview invitation. The scheduled time is Friday afternoon. After hanging up, I was about to learn more about Lam Hai Technology when the phone rang again. It's a strange number. Show locality. I picked up the phone.

"Hello, Lam Mac? I'm Tieu Luu from the company's human resources department."

The voice was so familiar that it made people uncomfortable. I frowned slightly but didn't speak.

“Lam Mac, don't hang up, listen to me first.”

Her voice sounded quite urgent.

"Director Vuong has already discussed your salary matter with us. It's true that the human resources side handled it wrong. We apologize to you."

It sounds very "sincere".

"Director Wang has already asked for approval to increase your salary. The company has decided to raise your salary to 10,000 yuan. Let's see... when can you go back to work?"

It's that number again. It seems that in their eyes, this is already a great favor. I can almost imagine the looks on the faces of Director Vuong and the other HR lady on the other end of the line.

“We have already made a lot of concessions.”

Just thinking about it makes me laugh.

“No need, I found a new job.”

I'm too lazy to waste words with them so it's okay to lie. Her volume immediately skyrocketed.

"So fast? Which company? How much do they pay you?"

A series of questions rang out as if they were interrogating a prisoner.

“Sorry, it's my personal matter.”

Having finished speaking, I immediately hung up the phone. Then drag that number to the block list. But clearly they still haven't given up. Half an hour later, To Tinh texted me on WeChat.

"Ms. Lam, the human resources department has come to find Director Vuong again. The two of you closed the door and argued for a long time. Just now, I heard Truong Hao calling outside and cursing you, saying you don't know how to handle things, and when you're given face, you don't even know how to accept it."

I looked at that message, my eyes still didn't waver at all. This is their true face. When you are needed, you are a savior. When you don't need it anymore... Or when you refuse to meet their cheap demands... You immediately become unreasonable. In the afternoon, my phone rang. It's a text message from an unknown number.

"Lin Mac, I'm Vuong Hai. I know 10,000 yuan is not enough, I'll give you an additional 12,000 yuan! In addition, I will ask for the highest amount of project bonus of 50 million yuan! As long as you come back and finish this project, everything can be negotiated! Don't forget, you are a person led by me, so as a person you can't forget your roots!"
