Chapter 24 — Before Retirement, I Was Demoted to Work as a Laborer

Tham Tri Vien slowly sat down.

"You guys..."

"Just keep rummaging through the old papers."

"What members of the Board of Directors care about..."

"It's a current risk."

"What Vien Thai needs..."

"Not tears."

"But someone who is capable of controlling the situation."

"What are you going to show the Board members?"

He glanced at me. No reply. I continued speaking for him.

"Fake resignation letter."

"Secret photos."

"The internal memo has been garbled."

"The set of documents slandering me for breaking into the Board of Directors Office..."

"Stealing secret documents..."

"Extorting money from the company for compensation."

Dieu Chan sat in the corner. The cut surface no longer had any drops of blood. Tham Tri Vien calmly said:

"If the document is fake..."

"Sooner or later it will be discovered."

I looked at him.

"Wait for the Board of Directors to finish voting..."

"Just went to investigate..."

"It's too late."

The corners of his lips curled slightly.

"Section Head Qin."

"Finally..."

“You also understand the importance of the process.”

I turned to look at Dieu Chan.

"Is there anything else you're hiding that hasn't been delivered yet?"

Dieu Chan raised his head in surprise.

"I told everything."

I walked in front of him.

"Brand Department..."

"Not just preparing documents to defame me."

"According to your working habits..."

"Definitely have two press releases ready."

"One copy..."

"Used to drown me."

"One copy..."

"Used to drown President Shen."

Dieu Chan's lips trembled slightly. I keep saying:

"If the meeting approves the dismissal..."

"Just ten minutes later..."

"Articles will be published simultaneously."

"The title is probably something like..."

'Founder Vien Thai withdrew from the frontline due to health reasons.'

'The executive commissioner officially takes over the entire corporation.'

Dieu Chan... Completely pale. Tham Tri Vien coldly shouted: I don't care.

"Manuscript..."

"Where are you?"

Dieu Chan trembled and wiped his sweat.

"...In the Trademark Department's shared folder."

Co Nam immediately sent someone to get it. Tham Tri Vien stood up.

"Arbitrarily accessing department documents..."

"It's a violation of regulations."

Luong Chinh Nghi stepped up to block in front of him.

"With permission from the audit team."

Five minutes later. All documents in the shared folder of the Trademark Department... Projected on the big screen. Sure enough... There were two press releases. First version. Falsely accusing me of intentionally demanding unreasonable compensation. Disturbing the order of the corporation. Second version. Announced that Tham Trieu An proactively cedes management rights due to health reasons. The creator of both copies... is Dieu Chan. The last editor... It's the Board Secretary's Office again. In the editing notes... There is exactly one line: After the 9 o'clock meeting ends, release version number 2. Documents related to Tan Ngoc Tran will be used when necessary to counterattack public opinion. Noted by: Tham Tri Vien. The whole meeting room... It was dead silent. Tham Tri Vien stared at the big screen. His face was extremely gloomy. He no longer pretends to be moderate.

"Even though..."

"I have a plan prepared..."

"So what?"

"Board of directors..."

"We will still vote according to the correct procedure."

At that moment... The clock struck 9 o'clock. The large screen automatically switches to another interface. Online meeting of the Council Administration officially begins. Each window appears. The faces of more than ten members of the Board of Directors lit up the screen one after another. Right after that... The host's voice from the Secretary's Office rang out:

"Dear members of the Board of Directors..."

"Unusual meeting..."

"Officially begins."

Tham Tri Vien adjusted his tie. Then walk straight in front of the camera. Tham Trieu An was just about to stand up. I placed my hand on the red-covered list on the table.

"Wait."

He turned to look at me. I flipped to number six on the list. Tan Ngoc Tran. I turned to the back of the appendix on the last page. Behind that piece of paper... There is still a very small line of text. Before... It was always covered by a notebook cover. Almost no one paid attention. I pushed the notebook in front of Luong Chinh Nghi. When she read it out loud... The entire meeting room... As well as the online meeting... All fell silent.

"The notary of the start-up period is designated as..."

Tan Ngoc Tran.

"If important matters of the Board of Directors relate to disputes about commitments for the start-up period..."

"Then before the witness completes his statement..."

Voting is not allowed. Immediately... Each Board member's window on the screen turned on the microphone one by one. Someone asked:

"...Who is Tan Ngoc Tran?"

I raised my head. Look straight into the camera. On me... I'm still wearing my gray cleaning uniform. On the chest... Still wearing the old employee card. Head of General Administration Department. Tan Ngoc Tran. I said slowly:

"It's the person..."

"Yesterday I was demoted to being a cleaning lady."

"Today..."

"You guys used it as an excuse again..."

"To dismiss the Chairman of the Board of Directors."

Tham Tri Vien's face immediately changed. He rushed forward. Turn off the sound of online meetings. Co Nam was one step faster. He held Tham Tri Vien's wrist tightly. The next second... During the online meeting... Suddenly an old but majestic voice rang out.

"Just let her talk."

The person who just spoke... is the second largest shareholder of Vien Thai. At the same time... Also the first member of the Board of Directors to sign as a witness on the list thirty-two years ago.
