Chapter 12 — I Just Followed the Process Correctly

“Only if we win this match…”

“The new company has a clean future.”

“A future where everyone's efforts are visible.”

“Respected.”

"I - Trinh Suong - stand here to assure everyone."

“From today…”

“Anyone who was retaliated against for coordinating the implementation of the Western project…”

“I will take responsibility to the end.”

“Whoever is willing to believe me…”

“Please stand up.”

“Come with me.”

Having finished speaking, I turned around and without hesitation walked towards meeting room number three. I didn't turn back. I leave everything behind me to them. This is a huge bet. Bet on people's hearts. Behind him, there was the sound of tables and chairs shifting slightly. The first person to stand up... was Tieu Truong in the market room. He gritted his teeth, as if he had just made a huge determination. Next is Mr. Ly in the technical department. Then the little girl from the finance department. More and more people are standing up. They formed a silent line, following behind me. General Manager Vuong stood frozen in place, his face pale, and he was shaking with anger. He pointed at our backs, but couldn't scold us another word. Because he realized... Those people who stood up... were all real pillars carrying the work in each department. They're gone... A director like him only has an empty name left. Enter the meeting room. Close the door. I looked at more than ten faces before me. Stress. But at the same time, there is also a glimmer of hope.

"Everybody."

I took a deep breath.

“We don't have any more time.”

“I want everyone to immediately list the entire stuck process of the West project and the current problems.”

“We don't use OA anymore.”

“Right here…”

“We will resolve the entire issue head-on.”

At that moment— The conference room door was pushed open. General Director Vuong led several other department directors and rushed in aggressively.

“TRINH SUONG!”

He pointed straight at me and shouted:

“You're really brave!”

“You are forming a faction!”

“Separating the company!”

“Now I declare in the name of the director of the marketing department…”

“This illegal meeting is immediately dissolved!”

“Who doesn't go…”

“I will immediately report to General Manager Chu!”

“Fire everyone!”

The momentum that had just been ignited in the meeting room... was immediately extinguished. Everyone panicked and reflexively turned to look at me. All my plans… Everything I build… Hangs on this moment. I looked at General Manager Vuong who was standing aggressively in front of me, his expression still unchanged. I don't argue with him. Just quietly take out the phone and make a call. Then turn on the speakerphone.

“Tut… tut…”

Two voices rang out. The call is connected. A deep, calm male voice came from the other end of the line. It's Tham Ham Vu. The entire meeting room immediately fell silent. All eyes turned to the small phone in my hand. General Director Vuong's screams were also choked in his throat. He looked at me in disbelief.

"Mr. Tham, hello, I'm Trinh Suong."

I calmly spoke up, my voice clearly echoing throughout the meeting room.

“Sorry to bother you at this time.”

“Currently I am in meeting room number three, holding a restart meeting for the West area project with the project's core team.”

“But General Director Vuong from the marketing department and several department leaders rushed in entered the meeting room, accused me of holding an 'illegal meeting', and threatened to fire all participating staff."

“General Manager Wang also said he would report this to General Manager Chu.”

“My work is currently seriously hindered.”

“How should I handle it?”

I don't add any personal feelings. Simply state the truth objectively. The other end of the line was silent for three seconds. But for General Manager Vuong... Those three seconds felt like a century. Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead. Right after that— Tham Ham Vu's cold, emotionless voice echoed throughout the meeting room.

“Give the phone to General Manager Vuong.”

The corners of my lips curled up slightly into an extremely pale curve. I handed the phone to General Director Vuong. His hand trembled as he received it, his face as white as paper.

“Mr… Mr. Tham…”

He tried to force a smile that was more unsightly than crying.

“Listen to my explanation… this is just a misunderstanding…”

“General Manager Vuong.”

Tham Ham Vu directly interrupted him.

“I just asked you a question.”

“The board's orders…”

“And the ‘General Manager Chu’ in your mouth…”

“Currently at this company…”

“Which is more effective?”

General Director Vuong's body trembled violently. The mouth opened but could not utter a word. The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly turned cold.

“It seems you still haven't thought it through.”

“Now I take the name of the person in charge of the special audit team of the board of directors…”

“Officially inform you.”

“Mr. Wang…”

“Immediately dismissed from all positions as market department director.”

“Temporarily suspended work for investigation.”

“Please leave the meeting room immediately.”
