Chapter 15 — I Just Followed the Process Correctly

It's the scent I'm most familiar with. But this moment... Just makes me feel nauseous. I took a step back, increasing the distance between us.

“If you want to review old stories…”

“Sorry, I don't have time.”

“The company is still a mess waiting for me to deal with.”

He laughed softly.

“Did you get into character so quickly?”

“Trinh Suong…”

“You're still as strong as ever.”

He took another step forward, pressing closer to me again.

“Do you know your current appearance…”

“Like a hedgehog with all its spikes up but still shaking?”

“I'll say it again.”

My voice turned cold.

“At the company, please call me CEO Trinh.”

“Between us…”

“Other than work, I don't have any relationships.”

Suddenly he reached out and grabbed my chin. The movement is too fast. I was completely unable to avoid it. The cold fingertips touching my skin made me shiver.

“But what can I do?”

He leaned closer to me, his hot breath tickling my ear.

“This time you come back…”

“It's because of you.”

“Even if it's work…”

“Or other things.”

I suddenly raised my hand and pushed his hand away. The crisp sound echoed throughout the empty conference room.

“Co Ngon, please respect me a little!”

He looked at the back of his hand that I hit red. Not only was he not angry... But the smile on his face was even deeper.

“That's right.”

“This is the Trinh Suong I know.”

He turned around and slowly walked towards the door.

“Give me a reminder.”

“CEO position with representative power…”

“It's not easy to sit.”

“The old foxes on the board only look at results.”

“One month.”

“Thirty percent increase in revenue.”

“If not…”

He pulled open the door, turned around and smiled brilliantly but extremely dangerously.

“You will be kicked out of that position.”

“Falling is even worse than Zhou Kaiming.”

Having finished speaking, he turned and left. I stood alone in the middle of the conference room. The whole body is cold. The phone suddenly vibrated. It's a text message from that mysterious number. Only three words.

“Be careful of him.”

I stared at those three words. Heart beating wildly out of control. Even that mysterious person... Is also reminding me to be careful with Co Ngon. What kind of person is he? Why did the board of directors suddenly bring such a person to be my "associate"? I forced myself to calm down and walked out of the meeting room. Outside, all the staff stood up. Everyone looked at me with almost worshipful eyes. They witnessed with their own eyes the former king leave the throne... And the new king stepped up.

“Hello CEO Trinh!”

“CEO Trinh!”

Each word of address changes... It is a sign of the transfer of power. I nodded and walked to the middle of the office area.

"Everybody."

I looked around at those excited and uneasy faces.

“The era of Zhou Kaiming and manager Liu…”

“It's over.”

“From today…”

“This company will have new rules.”

“I assure everyone…”

“Just work hard and make achievements…”

“You will definitely receive a worthy reward.”

“Dirty office fights.”

“Unreasonable approval processes.”

“It will all become the past.”

“I need everyone's help.”

“Join me to get the company back on track.”

I just finished speaking. The whole office immediately burst into resounding applause. It is the power of the human heart. It is also the biggest card for me to confront Co Ngon. I return to writing The general manager's office — a place that once symbolized supreme power. This moment… It belongs to me. The first thing I did was ask the administration department to immediately clean up the office next door. For Co Ngon. I had to put him where I could see him. Two o'clock in the afternoon. I held my first senior management meeting since becoming acting CEO. Co Ngon also appeared on time. He changed into a dark blue suit. A little less lazy. Many more sharp parts of the elite. He sat on my right hand, not saying a word. Just looked at me with a smile full of excitement. It's like watching a new girl clumsily imitating an adult opening a meeting. I directly ignored that look and went straight to the point.

"Everybody."

“The current situation of the company is clear to everyone.”

“Work stagnated.”

“People's hearts are weary.”

“So the first decision after I took office…”

“It is to restore all employee bonuses that were unjustly reduced by Zhou Kaiming.”

“At the same time…”

“I decided to deduct an additional amount from the CEO's special fund…”

“As an additional reward for employees who persevered during these turbulent times.”

“I need the finance department before work today…”

“Complete the entire plan.”

What I said made all the senior managers present look surprised. They didn't expect... The first thing I did after coming to power... was handing out money.
