Chapter 27 — Before Retirement, I Was Demoted to Work as a Laborer

Online Board members... Turn on the microphone one by one.

"What's going on?"

"The executive needs an explanation."

"This..."

"It is no longer a dispute over employee rights."

Tham Tri Vien's eyes darkened. Chillingly cold.

"Affiliate relationship..."

"Cannot prove misappropriation of property."

I nodded slightly.

"Let Cao Bin speak for himself."

At that moment... The conference room door was pushed open. A police officer led an investigator in. The investigator gave Luong Chinh Nghi... a statement that he had just obtained. Luong Chinh Nghi skimmed through it. Then immediately project the entire thing onto the screen. In his testimony... Cao Bin admitted: According to Trinh Hoai Nhan's arrangement... He stole the list. Burn the warehouse of the old factory. At the same time... Issued many false service invoices to Vien Khai Management Consulting Company. The use of the money... is directly in charge of Hua Thua Le. Hua Thua Le asked him to transfer part of the money... to the designated account. The actual beneficiary of that account... Is Tham Tri Vien. Hearing this... Hua Thua Le's spine seemed to have been pulled out. He suddenly raised his head.

"I declare."

Tham Tri Vien immediately turned to look at him. Hua Thua Le no longer dared to look back.

"Authorized device..."

"It was Tham Tri Vien who told me to get it."

"Backup seal..."

"Same."

"He told me..."

"Turn the job transfer into a misunderstanding."

"Then..."

"Constructing Tan Ngoc Tran into a blackmailer to demand compensation."

"If the Board of Directors meeting at nine o'clock approves the dismissal..."

"Then the entire responsibility..."

"It will all be blamed on Trinh Hoai Nhan."

"Waiting for public opinion to calm down..."

"The entire Startup Guarantee List will be canceled..."

"Then sign again from the beginning."

During the online meeting... It was dead silent. Suddenly... Tham Tri Vien jumped up. The movements were so fast... It was as if he wanted to rush in and steal the computer. Co Nam and Lao Ho stepped up at the same time. Stop him. Tham Tri Vien shouted loudly:

"You guys..."

"You have no right to keep me!"

At that moment... Pho Hong Chuong's voice rang out from the screen.

"Now..."

He stopped for a beat. Then say each word clearly.

"I suggest..."

"Immediately stop the content of voting to dismiss the Chairman."

"At the same time..."

"New content added."

"Temporarily suspend all positions of Executive Member of Tham Tri Vien."

"Ask him to coordinate with the police and audit team to serve the investigation."

Board members online... One by one, starting to vote.

"One vote in favor."

"Two votes in favor."

"Three votes in favor."

Tham Tri Vien's face... From pale... Gradually turned white as ash. Throughout the whole process... Tham Trieu An still sat still. Don't say a word. Until... The voting results appeared on the screen. The number of votes in favor exceeded two-thirds. Pho Hong Chuong slowly spoke.

"Resolution..."

"Approved."

Two police officers stepped in front of Tham Tri Vien.

"Mr. Tham Tri Vien."

"We request you to cooperate with us to serve the investigation."

Right before being taken away... Tham Tri Vien suddenly turned his head to look at me.

"Tan Ngoc Tran."

"Do you really think..."

"You won?"

I calmly looked straight at him.

"I never wanted to win against you."

"I just want..."

"Pull these the hand that you guys always hide behind every piece of paper..."

"Out into the light."

At 10:30 a.m.... Vien Thai announced the second announcement. No one dares to call the malicious transfer a "misunderstanding" anymore. The notice was written very clearly: Tan Ngoc Tran was intentionally demoted exactly one day before his retirement. Those involved are suspected of falsifying documents, violating workers' rights, illegally using authorization rights and destroying and dispersing evidence. All records... Have been transferred to the police and the Disciplinary Committee of the Board of Directors. Tham Tri Vien was suspended from all positions. Trinh Hoai Nhan, La Thien, Phan Minh, Dieu Chan, Hua Thua Le... All were put under investigation. List of special guarantees during the start-up period... Along with the entire regime of veteran employees... Reviewed from the beginning. And full back pay. The large lobby of the corporation... Crowded with employees. Everyone looked at the notice board. Then I looked at the cleaning uniform on me. Everyone's eyes... All contain emotions that are difficult to name. When they saw me cleaning the floor... Some people felt sorry for me. Some people quietly walked away. There are also people... Sitting in the group chat waiting to see the joke. But today... Everyone understands. What I clean... It's not just the floors. It's a whole line that's rotten to the core. Ms. Vuong held my hand tightly. At that moment... Tears really fell from her eyes.

"Ngoc Tran..."

"If it weren't for you..."

"I don't even know..."

"They also included your portion."

I smiled slightly.

"Don't cry."

"Money deserves..."

"Even one penny must be taken back."

Mr. Luu's son was in the warehouse... He quickly returned from another place. Mr. Tran's wife is in the dining room... Sitting with a cane in the corner of the hall. Engineer Manh of the Equipment Department... Because he was too sick, he couldn't come. His daughter hugged the stack of files... Kept bowing her head to thank me. I quickly raised my hand to stop her.

"Don't bow."

"I'm not doing you any favors."

"It's what they owe your family."

In the afternoon... Tham Trieu An held an all-staff meeting. He stood on the podium and spoke. His voice was even more hoarse than last night.

"Vien Thai..."

"Indebted to veteran employees."

"It's not just debt on the books."

"But also a debt to people's hearts."

"About this..."

"The company will publicly explain."

"Repay each item."

"I apologize to everyone."
