Chapter 16 — After I Refunded the Plane Tickets

I see that I'm about to get promoted. As a result, I was interrupted by me - who seemed to be flying up on a rocket. The unwillingness and resentment in his heart... You don't need to think about it to know how deep it is. Right at the first meeting I took office. He immediately gave me a preemptive show. After I've assigned the first task, let everyone discuss. He began to speak sarcastically.

“Director To is truly a talented young man.”

He leaned back in his chair, folded his arms across his chest, and looked calm.

“As soon as I got promoted, I immediately planned a ten-year development plan for the entire department.”

“It really makes old guys like us who have worked at the company for more than ten years…”

“It's not as bad as being embarrassed.”

His words sounded like a compliment. But the truth is, it's ironic that I'm young, inexperienced, and only know how to stand and talk without knowing my back hurts. The entire meeting room immediately fell silent. Everyone looked at each other. No one dared to answer. Everyone is watching... How I - the newly appointed director - will handle that old fox's provocation. If I can't crush him. Then my future job... It will be extremely difficult. I'm not angry. Don't even bother looking at him. I just slowly took out my phone. In front of everyone... Click to call. Then turn on speakerphone.

“Hello, Director To, hello.”

On the other end of the line came the familiar and extremely respectful voice of lawyer Ly.

“Good morning, lawyer Ly.”

I spoke up leisurely.

“Sorry for bothering you.”

“I want to confirm something.”

“Did General Manager Vuong tell me before…”

"In the future, will all Thien Vu Group's cooperation only accept me?"

“If in the company I encounter a problem that cannot be resolved…”

“Or someone doesn't coordinate my work…”

I deliberately lengthened my voice. On the other end of the line, lawyer Ly immediately understood.

“That's right, Director To!”

His voice immediately rose a few tones.

“General Manager Vuong has the highest instructions!”

“Miss, Director To Tinh…”

“The only person personally appointed by General Director Vuong to be in charge of connecting and collaborating!”

“What do you mean…”

“It was General Manager Vuong's idea!”

“Who dares not to coordinate your work…”

“It is a confrontation with Thien Vu Group!”

“It's causing trouble for General Manager Vuong!”

“General Manager Vuong also said…”

“If you just speak up…”

“He can make any company disappear from this city within three days!”

“No matter who that company is!”

Lawyer Ly's words rang out as decisively as nails. Each word is like a bullet, shooting straight into the hearts of everyone in the meeting room. Especially... His face started to change from the moment I made that phone call. When he heard lawyer Ly's last sentence filled with murderous intent... His face turned from red to blue. From green to white. Finally, it turned white and had no blood left. Sweat fell from his forehead like rain. The whole person also began to tremble uncontrollably. I hung up. Gently place the phone on the conference table. Makes a clear "click" sound. Only then did I raise my head. For the first time... Looking straight at him. The corners of my lips curled into a faint smile.

“Deputy Director Tran.”

I spoke softly.

“It seems like you have another opinion, right?”

“You can continue talking now.”

“I listen.”

The entire meeting room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. All eyes were on Tran Hai. His lips trembled for a long time. But not a single word came out.

“Thud” sound.

He stood up from his chair. It must be said that I almost fell to my knees. Then bent down in front of me. An arrogant man for ten years... The first time he lowered his back. A standard ninety-degree bow.

"Sorry! Director Su!"

His voice became shrill and distorted due to fear.

“It was me who was wrong!”

“It's me who has blind eyes!”

“It's me, dogs can't grow elephant tusks!”

"I deserve to die! I'm not human!"

He just raised his hand. Continuously slapping myself in the face. The sound was so loud it was deafening. Everyone in the meeting room was dumbfounded. Perhaps no one ever thought... Deputy Director Tran always kept his eyes higher than his head... There would be a day when he would be this humble. I quietly watched him act. Until his cheeks were red and swollen from self-slapping. I slowly raised my hand.

"Alright."

I spoke up leisurely.

“Stop acting.”

“I'm not Truong Vi.”

“I won't eat this set of yours.”

“There will be no next time.”

“If it happens again…”

I didn't finish the sentence. But everyone understands what the second half is.

"Yes! Yes! Absolutely no next time!"

Tran Hai seemed to be pardoned, nodding continuously like pounding garlic.

“Get out.”

I just coldly said three words.
