Chapter 16 — After I was fired, the company immediately went bankrupt

The Finance Director's voice trembled to the point of being lost.

"General Zhou..."

"It's not okay."

"Three more customers sent official letters to temporarily suspend cooperation."

"The bank is also asking..."

"After the Nam Thanh project ended..."

"What will the company use to ensure cash flow to repay the loan next quarter?"

In the meeting room. Everyone's faces changed. Mr. Phuong gently closed his eyes. Deputy General Director Tan raised his hand to rub his forehead. I looked at the red text on the projection screen.

"Due to the person in charge of the core leaving, the partner decided to end the cooperation."

Suddenly... I found this scene very familiar. Yesterday. They still said. My work can be shared by the whole team. Come today. Finally... The whole company understood. There are load-bearing walls... Once demolished. The building will really collapse. The shareholder meeting has not ended yet. Outside the meeting room... It was a mess. The Finance Director's phone rang continuously.

"General Truong..."

"Please listen to my explanation."

"The project team is still..."

"It's not..."

"Even though Hua Thanh Hoa has quit her job."

"We can still arrange another person in charge..."

"About the loan..."

"We will supplement the records."

"The Nam Thanh project is just..."

"For now..."

Talk to the end. His voice became lower and lower. Any explanation. It all became extremely ridiculous. Customers... Not stupid. Bank... Not even that. A company relies on key projects to maintain cash flow. Morning just suspended the General Director. Afternoon lost its biggest customer. There was also an outbreak of scandals of job theft and employee oppression. In that situation... Who dares to continue betting on them? Mr. Phuong sat at the head of the meeting table. The face is heavy and scary. Deputy General Director Tan lowered his head to look at the phone.

"Another customer."

Mr. Phuong immediately asked:

"East China Logistics."

In the meeting room. Someone blurted out a small curse. Hoa Dong Logistics is the company's second largest customer. If that project also stops. Revenue for the whole year... Will be cut off a large chunk. Chu Khai Minh finally panicked.

"Mr. Phuong."

"The East China Logistics project let me personally go talk."

Mr. Phuong looked at him.

"Go talk?"

"What do you have to say?"

"Take your decision to fire Hua Thanh Hoa?"

"Or take To Man's copy of the plan?"

Chu Khai Minh's face turned pale. It was as if someone had pushed me straight into the water. To Man sat next to him. Tears have long dried up. She lowered her head. Don't dare look at the staff standing outside the door. Those same people used to surround her. The mouth always calls:

"Manager To."

And now. Their eyes looked at her... It was like they were looking at the cause of an accident for the whole company. Right at that moment. My phone vibrated. It's General Tran. Person in charge of the East China Logistics project.

"General Hua, do you have time to talk?"

Right after that. He sent another message.

"If you work as an independent consultant, we would like to renegotiate the annual optimization project."

I haven't answered yet. Mr. Phuong accidentally saw my phone screen. He smiled bitterly.

"General Hua."

"It seems..."

"Hua Dong warehouse is also looking for you."

I turned the phone screen face down. Calmly said:

"Who do customers choose..."

"It's their right."

I intentionally... Return that sentence back to Zhou Kaiming. It was they who said it. Firing me is the company's right. So now. Customers choose to leave. Customer rights. Chu Khai Minh's lips moved slightly. Couldn't say a word. Deputy General Director Tan suddenly stood up.

"General Hua."

His voice was extremely sincere.

"Old company..."

"I really can't lose any more customers."

"You can respect your old colleagues..."

"Can you help us stabilize the situation?"

I looked at him.

"How stable?"

"We hope..."

"You can put your name on it."

"Inform the outside party that..."

"She will still support the old company in handing over some projects."

I laughed.

"You mean..."

"Tell me to guarantee the reputation of the old company?"

He himself felt embarrassed. The voice softened a bit.

"At least..."

"It also helps the company hold on for a while longer."

I asked again.

"Hold on..."

"Have Zhou Kaiming patch up the holes he dug?"

"Or help To Man change another explanation?"

"Let the company continue to use my reputation to sign customers?"

Deputy General Director Tan... Can't answer. Mr. Phuong sighed.

"General Hua."

"It's our company..."

"Sorry about you."

I didn't answer right away. The day before. I'm so scared to hear this apology. After the sentence "Sorry". Usually it will be a different sentence.

"But can you help me one more time?"

I'm not afraid anymore. I said calmly.

"Apologies..."

"No value."

"Contract..."

"New value."

The entire meeting room immediately fell silent. I continue.

"If the old company wants to retain some of its supply capacity."

"It is possible to sign a cooperation contract with my consulting office."

"The right to chair the project."

"Belongs to me."

"Quality."

"Communicate with customers."

"It's all up to me to decide."

"And the old company..."

"Only as a deploying unit."

Deputy General Director Tan's face was a bit ugly.

"So..."

"It means the company has to give up core profits."

I nodded.

"You might as well not give in."

"Let Zhou Kaiming continue to negotiate."

Chu Khai Minh immediately raised his head. Don't dare open your mouth. Now tell him to go meet the customer? Just hear his name. Partners wanted to temporarily suspend cooperation. Mr. Phuong bowed his head and thought for a long time. He looked up.

"I agree."

Chu Khai Minh was immediately impatient.

"Mr. Phuong!"

Mr. Phuong looked at him coldly.

"Shut up."

Making Chu Khai Minh's face turn pale. Right at that moment. Suddenly there was a commotion outside the meeting room door. To Man's phone rings. She glanced at the screen. His face immediately turned pale. Chu Khai Minh also saw the caller's name. It clearly states above: The atmosphere in the meeting room... Suddenly became strange. To Man frantically wanted to turn off the phone. But even more frantic. The phone rang even more loudly. Outside, a staff member spoke quietly.

"General Chu's wife?"

To Man's hands trembled. The next second. The call is automatically disconnected. A voice message is sent. To Man hasn't opened it yet. Ms. Chu sent everything straight to the company-wide chat group. A photo. Chu Khai Minh and To Man are kissing in the car. Time... Last Friday night. Location... Company underground parking lot. Company chat group... Completely exploded.

"No wonder you got promoted so quickly!"

"Is the Project Director position also available?"

"Your sister-in-law is really evil!"

To Man's phone fell on the table. Her whole body stiffened. Zhou Kaiming jumped up. The face is as green as a leaf.

"Who pulled her into the company group?"

No one answered. The very next second. It was Mrs. Chu who walked in. She wore a black suit. Exquisite makeup. Cold and scary temperament. She walked straight in front of To Man. A resounding slap. The whole meeting room. And all the staff standing outside. All quiet. To Man hugged her cheek. Tears immediately welled up.

"Sister-in-law..."

"Things aren't what you think..."

Mrs. Chu smiled coldly.

"What is it like?"

She threw a stack of printed photos onto the table.

"Hotel room rental records."

"Transfer history."

"Receipts for luxury goods purchases."

"The whole text message you sent to my husband..."

"The night before your promotion."
