Chapter 7 — Fateful Night In The Garage

“Internally, there were people spreading content saying that I refused to save people, killed children and competed maliciously, but the company did not immediately stop it.” The Human Resources Director lowered his voice and said: “Later we also handled it…” “Later it was because the direction of public opinion had changed.” My voice was very calm. “What if the direction of public opinion does not change?” “What if I did not record audio, video, report to the police and seal the key?” So what?” “How do you plan to handle me today?” No one in the meeting room dared to look at me. Thinh Nam Son sighed. "What do you want?" "It's not what I want." "It's what the company owes me." I raised three fingers. "Publicly correct." "Restore candidate status." "Hold accountable those who spread information internally." "In addition, all projects of the Sales department related to Zhou Ky Bach must be reviewed for compliance." Thinh Nam Son frowned. "The last request is too broad." "Mr. I can use drugs on my pregnant wife for a candidate, on what basis do you believe that the projects in his hands are clean?" As soon as the sentence ended, everyone's faces changed. Manh Lam sat next to me, gently pushing his glasses. "The Legal Department supports Director Lam's opinion." "If the group does not proactively investigate itself, when the police or media discover, the damage will be even more difficult to control." Thinh Nam Son was silent for a long time. Finally nodded. "Okay." The next morning, the company posted a notice. The use of words is extremely formal. Truong Thanh Medical Group confirmed that on the night of the incident, Lam Chi immediately called an ambulance and handled the incident at the scene according to the instructions of the 120 dispatcher, without delaying the treatment. Diep Van's sudden medical emergency has no causal relationship with Lam Chi. Chu Ky Bach was suspected of serious law violations and serious disciplinary violations, his labor contract was terminated and handed over to judicial authorities. The Group restored Lam Chi's status as a candidate for Deputy General of the South China Region. For employees who spread false information and reveal photos of the scene internally, the group will take disciplinary action. After the announcement was posted, the small chat groups immediately went silent. A few hours later, Liu Jing texted me. "Director Lam, I'm sorry. I was just too impatient yesterday." I didn't reply. Another colleague said: "Director Lam, everyone really misunderstood you. I hope you don't take it to heart." I still didn't answer. Their apology was gentle to the point of superficiality. But the words they said were like stones, continuously thrown at my face. If there is no evidence, I will be buried under those rocks, forever unable to turn around. In the evening, Thinh Nam Son came to see me privately. "Lam Chi, the list of candidates will be announced again tomorrow. You are at the top." I nodded. "I know." He looked at me. "In the future, when you sit in that position, you may have to face more complicated situations." I said: "So from the beginning I cannot learn to be patient." He smiled bitterly. "You have really changed." I packed up my computer. "I just became cautious. More than that.” As I walked out of the corporate building, I passed the entrance to the underground parking lot. I couldn't control my steps and stopped. The sounds of ambulance sirens, cries, blood stains and the filming phones of the crowd that night were like the tide rushing back. I closed my eyes. Comments no longer appear. But I still hear a voice in my heart. Don't be afraid. Your car door did not open. You didn't hand yourself over to them.9Just because the incident ended doesn't mean I'm immediately okay again. Day

The list of candidates was announced, my name was in first place. The company group was filled with congratulations. Many people seem to have lost their memory. "Director Lam completely deserves it." "This time is really too dangerous, fortunately the truth has been clarified." "In the future we all have to learn Director Lam's sense of emergency response." Looking at these words, I only felt sarcastic. A few days ago, they even said I was cold-blooded. Say I didn't save my wife because I wanted to get promoted. Saying people like me don't deserve to be leaders. Now they started praising me for being calm, professional and aware of risk prevention. With the same mouth, just by changing the direction of the wind, completely opposite words can be said. Manh Lam sent me the sanctions list. Luu Tinh was faulted for spreading unverified information on the scene. The first person to post a photo of a hospital in the group will be transferred from a position related to candidate evaluation. The other rumor account was sent a warning letter by the lawyer, forced to delete the post and apologize. Chu Ky Bach's case is still under investigation. The private clinic has also been sealed. Before leaving the hospital, Diep Van asked her mother to send me a letter. The letter is very short. She said sorry to me. She said she didn't know her husband would do that.
