"He will not be willing to just be a dog for Tham Ham Vu for the rest of his life."

“What we need to do…”

“It's to give him a reason.”

“A chance…”

“To turn around and bite the master.”

“And you, Trinh Suong…”

“The only one who can give him that chance.”

I was silent. Tell me to take advantage of Co Ngon... The man I once loved to the core... Also hated to the bone. To me… That was like dancing on a knife edge.

“I know this is difficult.”

Ly Ve saw the struggle inside me.

“But this is the only way to destroy the situation.”

“You have to make him believe…”

“That you were completely conquered by him.”

“You have to make him think…”

“You have become a thing in his pocket.”

“Just when he was most proud, he was most caught off guard…”

“Really stabbing the knife…”

“Get behind him.”

Ly Ve stood up and placed a business card on the table.

“Go back to the company tomorrow…”

“Let's agree to his bottom-of-the-table elimination mechanism.”

“But you have to remember…”

“Eternity is our strongest weapon.”

“Using his rules…”

“Kill his people.”

He walked to the door and suddenly stopped. The voice carried a heavy warning.

“One more thing…”

“You must remember.”

“Don't ever…”

“Really love him again.”

The next day, I returned to the company. A sleepless night made my face pale. His eyes also carried just the right amount of fatigue and resignation. The staff saw me and wanted to speak but stopped. Eyes full of worry. I don't pay attention to anyone. Go directly to Co Ngon's office. He was sitting there leisurely drinking coffee. As soon as he saw me walk in, the smile of a winner immediately appeared on his face.

“Got it?”

He leaned back in his chair, leisurely looking at me. It's like enjoying the spoils that are about to come to hand. I said nothing. Just gently placed a file on his desk. The document's title is: 《Preliminary Plan for Deploying the Company-wide Bottom-Line Elimination Mechanism》 Co Ngon's eyebrows slightly raised. He picked up the documents and scanned them quickly. The smile on his face deepened.

“Not bad, CEO Trinh.”

“It seems you finally understand…”

"What is considered a talented person?"

He looked at me with appreciative eyes.

"Know that just relying on handing out money cannot win people's hearts."

“The most effective management method…”

“Eternal fear.”

I lowered my eyes, my voice hoarse and tired.

“I just…”

“I don't want the company to die in my hands.”

My weakness... Made Co Ngon completely relax his guard. He stood up and walked in front of me. He even wanted to raise his hand and pat my shoulder. But I instinctively avoided it. He didn't care, just smiled lightly.

“You can think so, I'm very happy.”

“But…”

He suddenly changed his tone and pointed to a clause in the plan.

“Only take achievements as the standard for elimination…”

“Too slow.”

“Moreover, it is easy to cause controversy.”

“The Board of Directors does not have time to wait for us to slowly process it.”

It's like I've been waiting for this sentence from you. I raised my head to look at him. His eyes carried a bit of flattery in the "can't wait to show off" look.

“COO Co is right.”

“It's because I'm not thinking carefully enough.”

“I have a faster way.”

He immediately showed interest.

“We are not equal…”

“Start with discipline.”

I slowly said the plan that Ly Ve and I had discussed all night.

“We can conduct an unscheduled audit of the company's entire payment process over the past year.”

“As long as there are any payments that do not comply with financial regulations…”

“Even if it's just one wrong word on the invoice…”

“All are considered serious violations.”

“Direct dismissal.”

“There is no room for negotiation.”

“Just able to quickly purify a group of people.”

“Just doing it in the name of 'complying with regulations'.”

“No one can refute.”

“What do you think?”

The smile on Co Ngon's face slightly stopped. I'm not stupid. In just a blink of an eye, I understood the cruelty of this move. Under Zhou Kaiming… The entire company pursued efficiency, so the payment process was always extremely chaotic. If you really investigate like this... Don't say ten percent. I'm afraid that eighty percent of the employees will be fired. Especially the senior management layer. Who doesn't have some accounts that can't be explained clearly? This blade slashed down... What was cut off was the company's backbone. He looked at me. For the first time, scrutiny and suspicion appeared in his eyes. He wanted to refuse. But couldn't find the reason. Because this plan... Compared to your bottom-of-the-table elimination mechanism... It's even more cruel. More radical.
