Chapter 4 — After I Refunded the Plane Tickets

Stepping out of the tea room, the whole world seemed to be pressed into silence. I can clearly hear my heart beating steadily. Each beat is like a countdown bell for Truong Vi's career. I picked up the cold cup of tea and slowly returned to my seat. The eyes of the whole room immediately focused on me like headlights. And also shy. In the phone call just now, even though I went into the tea room, the people standing near the door definitely still heard a few sentences. Screaming. Crazy questions. That's enough for them to put together a big play in their heads. I calmly sat down and opened my work documents. Fingertips tapping on the keyboard make a crisp clicking sound. The colleague next to Tieu Man finally couldn't stand it anymore. She secretly leaned over, lowered her voice and asked me:

"Sister Tinh... was Truong Vi's phone call just now?"

My hands are still typing on the keyboard. Eyes looking at the screen, lips curled slightly. I replied very softly. Just one word. But it's like dropping a drop of water into a pan of boiling oil. The atmosphere in the whole department immediately exploded.

“Oh my god, it's really him!”

"Isn't he going to Shenzhen on business? Going to sign a hundred million contract with Thien Vu!"

“Sounds like we were arguing at the airport, right?”

“I think I heard the word ‘refund’…”

"Impossible? Who would dare refund the ticket for such an important trip? Are you crazy?"

Chatter immediately spread throughout the office. And I'm still as calm as anything. Just guess. Feel free to guess. Because the truth... is ten thousand times crazier than anything you imagine. At that moment, the department head's desk phone suddenly rang. He just picked up the phone and said "hello". The next second, he jumped up from the chair as if he had been electrocuted.

“Dong… General Dong?!”

"Yes yes yes! I understand! I will deal with it immediately!"

His voice was trembling and trembling like never before. The real boss of the corporation. The dragon god sees the head but does not see the tail. It is said that the last time he appeared at this branch... was at the year-end party three years ago. So why did you call yourself today? The manager hung up the phone, his face was pale, his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He glanced around the office. Finally his eyes stopped on me. That look was so complicated that it looked like a mess.

“Everyone pay attention!”

He cleared his throat, but his voice still trembled.

“Everyone put down all the work in hand!”

“General Dong just issued an order directly, activating the group's highest-level red alert!”

“Cooperating with Thien Vu Group in Shenzhen had a huge incident!”

“General Manager Luu and his customers are currently stuck at the airport!”

The whole office exploded. Red alert? This is the highest emergency plan the company has ever set. Since its inception, it has never been activated once. Usually only used when the company is on the brink of bankruptcy or core data is stolen. But now... Just because a problem occurred in a cooperation case, a red alert was turned on? Everyone was stunned.

“Due to… a problem with the plane ticket, General Director Luu's group missed the nine o'clock flight this morning!”

The department head swallowed hard and continued.

"General Manager Vuong of Thien Vu got angry! On the spot, he announced the permanent termination of all cooperation with our company!"

“At the same time, their side has informed the bar association and is preparing to sue the company for 'commercial fraud'!”

“The amount of compensation requested is… one hundred million!”

One hundred million. Those three words were like a bomb exploding in the middle of the office. They all turned pale. That was the only thought on everyone's mind. The company's annual net profit is less than thirty million. One hundred million in compensation... Enough to make the company go bankrupt immediately.

“What happened in the end?”

"Why is there a problem with plane tickets? Isn't Truong Vi in charge?"

"Where is Truong Vi? What the hell is he doing!"

Panic began to spread, some even burst into tears.

“General Dong gives the order!”

The chief's voice rang out again, drowning out all the chaotic sounds.

"All those involved in this work project immediately! Right now! Go to the large meeting room on the top floor!"

“I repeat again, everyone involved!”
