Chapter 8 — After Ten Years of Silence, the Whole Industry Sees Me
After the Cam Hoa project officially started. The atmosphere in the company changed once again. Before, it was sympathy and then avoidance. Now be polite and then investigate. It's time for lunch. A few department heads who were previously not very close to me took the initiative to bring trays of rice to sit at the table.
"Director Tham, Cam Hoa's plan this time is too excellent. I heard that after Mr. Vuong saw it, he decided on it on the spot, right?"
“Even if Master Chu praises it, it certainly can't be wrong.”
“In the future, if there is anything you need help with, Director Tham just say so.”
I just smiled. Say nothing more. Three o'clock in the afternoon. Ha Than brought the documents into the office for me. Close the door by hand.
“I just heard something from the administration.”
“Hua Uyen Thanh and President Tong talked in the office for nearly an hour.”
“When she came out, her face was very unsightly.”
“What did they say?”
“I don't know.”
“But after leaving President Tong's office, she immediately called her former colleague at Cao Vuc Media.”
“Cao Vuc Media?”
It's another advertising company in Hai Thanh. Smaller scale than Thinh Hang. But the last two years have developed very quickly. It is said that there is a very strong investment fund behind it. Ha Than lowered his voice.
“I'm afraid she'll play tricks.”
“For example, before jumping ship, she would bring the Cam Hoa project plan with her.”
I glanced at him.
“Your vigilance has increased quite a bit.”
“I learned from you.”
“Don't worry.”
“The complete version of the Cam Hoa plan is only in your hands and mine.”
“The version saved on the server has had important data processed.”
“Even if she wanted to take it away, she couldn't take it away.”
Ha Than breathed a sigh of relief. But I know. It won't be that simple. Hua Uyen Thanh is not the type of person to meekly accept defeat. She will definitely find a way to counterattack. I just didn't expect it. That counterattack came so quickly. The meeting to announce the brand of Cam Hoa Group is scheduled in ten days. The location is Hai Thanh International Exhibition Center. This is the most important event in the 30th anniversary of Cam Hoa's founding. Vuong Kien Binh invited more than three hundred guests to attend. Supplier included. Strategic partner. Media agencies. Industry association representative. And many famous figures in the world. All ideas and image implementation of the announcement meeting are in charge of my team. Three days before the event. I received a call from an unknown number.
“Hello Director Tham.”
“I'm Ton Van, economic reporter for Hai Thanh Newspaper.”
“I want to confirm something with you.”
“We just received a set of anonymous denunciation documents.”
"It is said that the plan of the Cam Hoa project implemented by Thinh Hang Media shows signs of plagiarism."
“The core idea was found to be very similar to another company's work from three years ago.”
I tightened my grip on the phone. The mind immediately operates at full speed.
“Can you tell me specifically which work they are referring to?”
“A franchise film called Return to the Origin.”
“Made by Tuong Tam Media Company in Shenzhen three years ago.”
“I have never seen that work.”
“But in the denunciation file, there is a very detailed comparison analysis attached.”
“There are many factors images and content structure are considered similar.”
“Reporter Ton.”
“I am ready to cooperate with any investigation.”
“But before the investigation has results, I also want to ask you to verify one thing.”
"How was the origin of that denunciation document sent to the editorial office?"
The other end of the line was silent for a second.
“I cannot disclose that information.”
“So on the day of the event, just come to the scene.”
“Is it plagiarism or not?”
“After watching, you will know.”
After hanging up. I leaned back in the chair. Report anonymously. Accused of plagiarism. It was exactly three days before the event. Time is calculated with terrifying precision. When Ha Than walked in. Seeing my expression, he immediately knew something was up.
“Miss Tham, what happened?”
“Some people accused our plan of plagiarism.”
Ha Than's face immediately changed. I briefly summarize everything. Ha Than was so angry that he stood up.
“Definitely Hua Uyen Thanh!”
“Plagiarism?”
“Our plan, from every word to every image, is all done by ourselves.”
“What qualifications does she have to accuse us of plagiarism?”
“Where is the evidence?”
I looked at Ha Than.
“Can you prove that she did it?”
Ha Than immediately choked up.
“So…”
I stood up.
“What we need to do now is not to find out who is behind this.”
“It's about preparing a response.”
“On the day of the event, everyone will see the answer for themselves.”
The day of the brand announcement. Hai Thanh International Exhibition Center. Third floor banquet hall. More than three hundred guests filled the hall. Vuong Kien Binh sat in the center of the front row. Chu Hac Minh was also present. I was standing backstage. Listen to the host's introduction. Ha Than ran over.
“Reporter Ton Van has arrived.”
