Chapter 6 — I Just Followed the Process Correctly

He pushed me into this position because he wanted to make me a common enemy of the whole company. But you don't know... At the same time, you also gave me a lever capable of overturning your entire kingdom. But manager Luu... was the first support I found. The next morning, nine fifty-eight. Finance Director Truong Hai with a face as black as the bottom of a pot appeared in front of my desk. Behind him was Manager Liu, his face humiliated to the point of being unsightly. Truong Hai did not say a word. Just a "pop" sound and threw the signed budget form onto my desk.

“Specialist Trinh, here is what you need.”

His voice was stiff as if he had just taken it out of the freezer. I picked up the slip and examined it carefully. Complete, lacking nothing.

“Thank you, Director Truong.”

I raised my head and smiled professionally.

“It's been hard for you.”

Truong Hai snorted coldly, turned around and left. Manager Luu followed closely behind. As he passed me, he gritted his teeth and said in a volume loud enough for only the two of us to hear:

“Don't be complacent too soon.”

I don't care. I scanned the budget form, attached it to the contract with the third-party legal unit, then continued to submit the West area project approval process to the OA system. I kicked the ball straight towards the finance department. I just sent my application in less than five minutes. The door to the general manager's office was suddenly pushed open. Chu Khai Minh, his face full of anger, walked straight towards me. The atmosphere in the entire office immediately dropped to freezing. Everyone stopped what they were doing, holding their breath as they looked at the scene before them. Everyone knows... The storm is about to arise. Chu Khai Minh walked in front of me, looking down from above, his eyes seemed to be about to spit fire. Behind him, the head secretary frantically followed, his face drained of blood.

“General Manager Chu… please calm down a bit…”

“TRINH SUONG!”

Chu Khai Minh completely ignored the warnings and pointed straight at me, his voice so loud that the whole floor could hear clearly.

“Do you think I really don't dare touch you?!”

At that moment, the head secretary rushed over breathlessly, holding a tablet in his hand, looking extremely panicked.

"General Manager Chu! Don't...don't get excited!"

"Quickly take a look! The board of directors... the board of directors just sent an urgent email!"

The chief secretary almost jumped in front of Chu Khai Minh. The face that was always calm was now filled with only panic.

“General Manager Chu! Email from the board!”

He held up the tablet in front of Chu Khai Minh, his voice visibly shaking.

“Please see!”

The anger on Chu Khai Minh's face was like being poured straight into a basin of ice water. Freeze immediately. His eyes struggled to leave me, turning to the glowing screen. The whole office was silent. Everyone tried to stretch their necks, wishing they could grow more piercing eyes to clearly see the content of that email. I saw Zhou Kaiming's pupils shrink sharply. The hand holding the tablet was clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. In just a few short seconds, his face turned from angry red to green, then finally turned deathly gray and white. That is the color of a person who has just had all his confidence destroyed. He stood motionless in place, holding the tablet like a weathered stone statue. Ambient air It also seems to have frozen solid. No one dared to speak up. No one dared to move. Only the chief secretary was still standing next to him, saying something urgently in a low voice.

“…all relevant personnel must unconditionally cooperate…”

“…the order takes effect immediately…”

It's been so long... So long that it feels like a century has passed. Chu Khai Minh slowly raised his head. He looked at me again. But those eyes no longer had the noble and superior look from before. Instead, there was an extremely complex emotion — surprise, resentment, confusion... He opened his mouth as if to say something. But in the end, I couldn't utter a word. Just stood there staring at me for three seconds. Then, he suddenly turned around. Like a defeated beast, dragging heavy footsteps back to the office. The door was slammed shut. The loud noise was like lightning striking a clear sky, immediately waking up everyone who was dumbfounded in the office. Everyone turned their heads almost at the same time. Dozens of eyes were like headlights, simultaneously focused on me. If before, those eyes still carried pity, gloating or curiosity... Now, there was only one emotion left in them. A deep-seated fear of invisible, uncontrollable power. They don't know what was written in that email. But they saw the results.
