Chapter 1 — I tore up a 1.8 billion contract, my boss went crazy right at the celebration party
CROSSING THE WLANBRIDGE? I RIPPED A CONTRACT OF 1.8 BILLION RMB (ABOUT 6,480 BILLION), THE BOSS WAS CRAZY RIGHT AT THE CELEBRATION PARTY I was sitting in my partner's meeting room, preparing to sign a contract worth 1.8 billion yuan. At that moment, the company's internal chat group suddenly posted a list of personnel cuts. My name is in the first position. Right after that, my superior sent me a private message:
"After signing, send the contract back to the company. From tomorrow you don't need to go to work anymore. Your position will be taken over by my younger brother."
Is it really this bad to cross the bridge? I laughed. Don't say another word. I picked up the contract and tore it in half right in front of my partner. Then calmly shook hands and said goodbye to the partner's general director and booked a return flight. The next day. The company held a grand celebration. My superior brought his younger brother onto the stage and happily expressed his feelings after "achieving great success". But the words are not finished yet. The company's general director rushed straight onto the stage like crazy. He grabbed the microphone and slammed it on the ground. The microphone immediately broke into pieces. The whole hall was silent. My name is Hua Tinh. At this time, I am in city H. In the meeting room on the top floor of the Hoan Cau Center in the heart of the city. Sitting opposite me is General Director Vuong, the biggest partner of this project. On the table is a contract. Worth 1.8 billion yuan. I have been pursuing this project for a year. Three hundred sixty-five days. Today is the last moment to put pen to paper. General Director Vuong smiled and handed the pen towards me.
“Promise management, happy cooperation.”
I smiled, preparing to reach out and receive it. At that moment, the phone in my pocket vibrated. It's a message from the company team. I opened it to see. A list of staff cuts was prominently posted. My name, Hua Tinh, is in first place. I was dumbfounded. My mind went blank for a moment. The phone vibrated again. This time it was a private message from his immediate superior, Chu Due.
“Hua Tinh, have you seen the list?”
“Once you sign the contract, send it immediately to the company.”
"After signing, there's no need to come back anymore. I left your position to my younger brother, Chu Hang."
“Ah yes, don't even dream about this month's bonus and commission.”
I stared at the words on the screen. Each word is like a sharp blade. Stabbed straight into my heart. Cross the drawbridge. Kill the donkey after grinding the mill. Chu Due really played nice. A year of dedication. I don't know how many sleepless nights. I risk my life to contribute to the company. Is it just this ending in return? General Manager Vuong saw that my face was unusual and asked:
“Manager Hua, what's going on?”
I raised my head and forced a smile. That smile is probably more unsightly than crying. I picked up the contract on the table. It's very thick. Also very heavy. That was a whole year of my youth. I looked at Chu Due's message.
“I left your position to my younger brother.”
Right in front of General Director Vuong. I held up the contract worth 1.8 billion yuan. Then tear out each page one by one. Completely torn apart. Pieces of paper flew like snow, covering the floor. General Manager Vuong jumped up in surprise.
"Manager Hua! What are you doing?"
I threw the last pieces of paper in my hand onto the ground. Then brush your hands.
"Total Director Wang, I'm sorry."
“You have probably seen how sincere our company is to cooperate.”
“We won't sign this contract anymore.”
Having finished speaking, I bowed deeply before him. Then turned around and left. Never looked back. Leaving behind the whole room filled with surprise. I took out my phone. Delete all contact methods of Chu Due. Leave all company chat groups. Then book a ticket for the earliest flight back to city S. When the plane takes off. I looked at the sea of white clouds outside the window. There was only one thought left in my heart. Your pleasant days... are about to end. The plane landed in S city. As soon as I turned on my phone, countless messages and missed calls immediately flooded in. They all came from former colleagues. I didn't bother to watch a single one. Turn off the device directly. The moment the phone screen went black, the whole world suddenly became strangely quiet. I caught a taxi at the airport gate.
“Driver, go to the city center.”
The car glides smoothly on the highway. I leaned my head next to the glass door, watching the scene outside the window move quickly backwards. After a while, I turned my phone back on. Immediately, a strange phone number called. I picked up the phone.
“Hello, is this Ms. Hua Tinh, manager Hua?”
A calm male voice rang out.
“I am Ly Minh of Thinh Hoa Group. We met each other at a bidding session.”
Thinh Hoa Group. The biggest competitor of Sang Khoa Company. I quickly remembered. It was the man who lost to me in the previous bidding, but still politely came forward to congratulate him after the results were announced.
“Hello, Mr. Ly.”
“Manager Hua, I heard you left your old company?”
News spreads really fast.
“That's right.”
“Are you interested in joining Thinh Hoa? The position and salary, I guarantee, are at least one level higher than the old party."
I laughed.
“General Ly, are you taking advantage of the house fire to steal loot?”
The other end of the line also laughed.
“I call it knowing how to look at people.”
“I'll give you a day to think. When you have a decision, please contact me."
The call ended. I looked at the traffic outside the window, lost in thought. The next morning. I slept until I suddenly woke up. Then open a financial livestream application. Today is the day Sang Khoa Company holds a celebration. Celebrate because they "successfully" won a 1.8 billion yuan cooperation project with General Manager Vuong's company. On the livestream screen. The red carpet stretches out. Fresh flowers covered the hall. Chu Due wore an expensive custom-made suit, his demeanor filled with confidence. Next to him is a young man. The five senses are quite similar to him. That is his younger brother, Chu Hang. The host gave the microphone to Chu Due.
“Mr. Chu, as the biggest hero of this project, do you have anything you want to share?”
Chu Due adjusted his collar and cleared his throat. His face was red with excitement.
“First of all, I would like to thank the company for your trust.”
“Next, I would like to respectfully introduce a new core to my team.”
“My younger brother, Chu Hang!”
He pulled Chu Hang forward.
“From today onwards, this project will be fully in charge of Chu Hang!”
“Everyone give her a round of applause!”
A few loud applause rang out from the stands dac. Chu Hang took the microphone. On his face was an undisguised look of arrogance and pride.
“Hello everyone, I am Chu Hang.”
“If my brother can do the project, I can do it too.”
“A contract that even women can negotiate successfully is nothing more than child's play to me…”
He hasn't finished his sentence yet. A figure suddenly rushed straight onto the stage like crazy. Is General Director Vuong. His eyes were bloodshot. He snatched the microphone out of Chu Hang's hand and slammed it on the floor. The deafening sound immediately echoed throughout the hall. All the guests were stunned. General Manager Vuong pointed straight at Chu Due's face and roared:
"Chu Due! Damn it, you dare to play with me!"
“The contract is gone!”
“The project is gone!”
“The partner not only refused to sign but also asked us to pay ten times more compensation for breach of contract!”
“Who in the end arbitrarily fired Hua Tinh, the person in charge of negotiating this project?!”
Chu Due's face immediately turned from red to pale. He looked at General Director Vuong who was angry. Lips trembling.
“Vuong... Mr. Vuong... please listen to my explanation..."
Below the stage. Flash lights continuously. Screams, gossip, and camera phone sounds rang out everywhere. The whole hall was in chaos. I turned off the livestream. The corners of the lips slightly raised. A cold laugh rang out. Great play... It's just begun.
