Chapter 15 — After I Refunded the Plane Tickets

Updated 10/08/2026 4 min read

The hall once again fell into dead silence. Everyone was so surprised by this scene that they were speechless.

"Tinh Tinh! We beg you!"

Truong Vi's mother hugged my leg tightly, crying until her tears and nose were dirty.

“Please spare our Tieu Vi!”

"It's not a good thing! It's wretched! It deserves to die!"

“But… but he is our only child!”

“If he has to go to jail…”

“We old couple can't live anymore!”

Truong Vi's father kept bowing his head. Stronger than Truong Vi himself before. His forehead quickly bled.

"Director Su! It's because we're not teaching our children strictly!"

“It's our fault to you!”

“In this card…”

“It's the entire life savings of our elderly couple.”

“A total of thirty thousand yuan.”

“The password is your date of birth.”

He trembled and took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to me.

“We know…”

“This little amount of money cannot compensate for the loss it causes to the company.”

“This is truly the entire inheritance of our two old grandparents.”

“Please respect that we are old…”

“Forgive him this time!”

The two of them cried until their intestines were broken. Some of the surrounding colleagues began to show displeasure. Even General Dong frowned slightly. Just silently looked at the two old men and women kneeling in front of him. Look at that old face. Look at those desperate eyes. In my heart… There was a wavering moment. But it was just... Just a moment. Poor person... There must be something to hate. How pitiful they are now... Proves how hateful they were in the past when they tolerated and pampered their son. If today... The person I met was not General Manager Vuong. If I were just a normal office worker. Then the eighty thousand yuan lost by their son... Enough to push me to the limit. Until then... Who will love me? Who will kneel down and beg my parents to forgive me? I gently withdrew my leg from Truong Vi's mother's arms. Don't accept that bank card. Just looking down at the two of them from above. The voice was cold as ice.

"The first."

“Your son is an adult.”

“It must bear full legal responsibility for its actions.”

“The person he harmed was not just me.”

“But also the benefit of the whole company and the livelihoods of hundreds of employees.”

“I don't have the right to forgive it for everyone.”

“Now this is no longer about money.”

“It's the law.”

“It's a principle.”

“It's fair.”

“What you two should do most right now…”

“Don't come to beg me.”

“But returning…”

“Teaching the giant son who refuses to grow up and the two of you have spoiled him so much.”

“Tell him…”

“This world does not revolve around itself.”

“It's not anyone…”

“I will also unconditionally follow it like you two.”

Having said that, I didn't look at them again. Turn around and step back into the elevator.

“General Dong, let's go upstairs.”

General Dong looked at me deeply. His eyes were filled with approval and affirmation. He nodded and pressed the close button. The elevator door slowly closed amid the heart-wrenching cries of the two old men and women. Through the door. I saw them like two puddles of mud, collapsed on the cold marble floor. Hopeless. I gently closed my eyes. In my heart... There are no more ripples. The first day I became the director of the marketing department. My office was changed to the best room on the floor. Glass door close to the ground. Genuine leather sofa. Ten times larger than my old workplace. The old seat has now been replaced by a new intern. It was like all traces of my past had been erased. Has been reborn. My colleagues' attitudes towards me also changed dramatically. Before, they called me To Tinh or Tieu To. Now everyone is respectful like raising the moon and raising the stars.

“Good morning, Director To!”

“Director To, this is hand-ground coffee I brought from home, please try it.”

“Director Su, all of your documents have been arranged.”

Tieu Man - the girl who stopped by to chat with me before. Now he has become my most effective assistant. Carrying tea and pouring water, running ahead and running behind, more enthusiastic than anyone. These are all very normal things in the workplace. It is an inevitable product that comes with power. I calmly accepted. But always keep a alert distance. Of course... Not everyone truly admires me. For example, Tran Hai — former deputy director of the marketing department. He was originally the best candidate for this director position. Endure ten years.
