Chapter 22 — After Winning 4.8 Million Yuan, I Realized Home Is A Place To Return To

I pointed to the brightest spot right at the entrance.

"Put it here, Dad."

Hua Ninh burst out laughing.

"I'm finally willing to let the good things be seen by others."

I hung my college award-winning poster in the conference room. Do not roll up. Also don't explain that it's just an achievement from many years ago. In the afternoon, the project side sent the acceptance results of the first phase. Our finished quality ranks first among the six cooperated teams. At the same time, I also received another news. Trinh Man was fired from a furniture store. Not because of the past. But because she once again falsified her sales achievements. Her transformation is not yet truly complete.

"I only count my colleagues' customers into my achievements, I don't get any money."

Trinh Man sat in her old house, still trying to justify losing her job for the second time.

"It's not my achievement, why write my name?"

"The store keeps people based on sales. I'm afraid of being fired."

I looked at her.

"La Thien also said this."

Trinh Man immediately fell silent. Upon receiving the news, Hua Tu Lan quickly ran over. This time she didn't scold the store owner, but immediately grabbed her father's hand.

"Tell An Nhien to arrange a job for Man Man. The studio belongs to a family member, is it possible that even my cousin won't accept it?"

I replied bluntly:

"No way."

"It already knows it's wrong."

"But yesterday she just did it again."

"It's just a name, right?"

Dad removed Hua Tu Lan's hand.

"A name is very important to someone who actually works."

Hua Tu Lan angrily pointed at me.

"Now that he has a company, he looks down on his relatives more and more."

Suddenly, Trinh Man spoke up:

"Mom, stop talking."

"You always said you would help me."

Trinh Man shook his head slightly.

"But every time mom helps, she tells me to ask someone else."

"If you don't rely on relatives, who can you rely on?"

"I rely on myself."

Hua Tu Lan was stunned. Trinh Man placed the side door key on the table.

"I still owe you money for this month's food. When I find a job, I will pay it back."

Dad shook his head.

"Just keep the key. The month isn't over yet."

"I plan to go to the district to find a job, staying at the company's dormitory."

After speaking, she turned to look at me.

"This time I won't ask you to arrange the work anymore."

"Can you show me how to get rid of the habit of lying every time I'm afraid?"

I didn't answer right away. Because it took me many years to understand that.

"First of all..."

"...admit what you're afraid of."

"I'm afraid others will look down on me."

"And then?"

"Tell the truth."

"If you tell the truth, you might lose your chance."

"So what to do?"

Trinh Man bowed his head.

"Is it that difficult?"

"But the more you use lies to cover up, the more you will live in fear."

She put the key back. The next morning, I went to the district alone. During the interview, the manager asked why she quit her job at the old company. This time, she told the truth. The first store refused. The same goes for the second store. At the third store, they agreed to hire her as a warehouse employee. The salary is only half of what it was before. When Hua Tu Lan heard about it, she immediately stopped it.

"The salary is so low, don't you feel embarrassed?"

For the first time, Trinh Man did not listen to his mother.

"Low pay is not shameful."

"Stealing someone else's achievements and putting your name on it is shameful."

She moved into a four-person dormitory. Each Every month, I set aside an amount to gradually pay for my father's food. I don't give you money. Just send me a sample of the expense notebook I used to use. A moment later, she texted back:

"This time I won't borrow the house, nor will I borrow money anymore."

"Thank you."

That was the first time... Her thanks didn't come with any conditions.

"The second phase of the project was required to be redone."

Tran Phong placed the council's comments on the meeting table. The whole group worked continuously for a month. Everyone thought this acceptance test would pass smoothly. A new employee couldn't help but say:

"Last week they said there was no problem."

Luong Man was also present.

"Last week was just orientation."

"This acceptance evaluates specific content."

Lam Thu asked:

"How much should it be fixed?"

"At least half."

The entire meeting room fell silent. Someone bowed their head and reviewed their notes. Someone quietly calculates the workload. Tieu Diep suddenly spoke up:

"General Manager Hua, the direction is for you to decide."

"Are the judges deliberately targeting you?"

I ask in return:

"Among the opinions they gave, are there any that are unreasonable?"

She flipped through the entire file over and over again. Finally shook his head.

"If there is a basis, it is not aimed at anyone."

Tran Phong frowned.

"But there are only ten days left."

I looked at Luong Man.

"Can it be extended?"

"Three days at most."

"What about funding?"

"No additional issues. Still within the scope of the contract."

Lam Thu frankly said:

"If we do it again, we will lose money."
