Chapter 14 — Invitation Card Without Me Part
After the police took her away, in the small meeting room there were only me, the president, Nghiem Man, Luu Man and the customer representative. The chairman looked at me. "Truong Lam, the company will give you an explanation." I did not immediately answer. Because my phone lit up again. Still that strange number. This time there are no photos. There's only one sentence: Don't believe his words, the price list really wasn't sent by Phuong Duyet. I looked at the screen, my heart sinking. Officer Cao hasn't gone far yet. I immediately called him back. “Comrade police.” He turned his head. I gave him the phone. "Anonymous person sent a text message again." Officer Cao finished looking at it and slowly frowned. Almost at the same time, a surprised cry rang out from the head of the human resources department. "In the server there is also a history of sending documents that have been deleted." "The recipient is not a customer." "But the sales director of a rival company." As soon as the voice of the head of human resources rang out, the atmosphere in the meeting room was both calm and tense. Sales director of a rival company. These words are more serious than a customer complaint. The customer price list sent to the customer representative can at best be explained as internal chaos. But sending it to a rival company is no longer chaos. It's that someone intentionally sold project documents. Manager Trinh's expression completely changed. "Have your company's documents been transferred to your competitors?" The chairman did not immediately respond. He looked at the head of the human resources department. "Show the history of operations." The head of the human resources department's hand shook violently. She opened the server's recovery log. A history of sending documents that have been deleted appears on the screen. Sending time was four twenty-seven minutes last Wednesday afternoon. The sending account still shows up as my work email. The recipient is a personal mailbox. In the notes section, the system automatically identifies recipients who have exchanged emails with a rival company's sales director. Attachment name: Customer's final original price list. Looking at those words, my palm gradually became cold. Four hours twenty-seven minutes. I was still in the meeting room at that time. My report has just ended, answering the leader's question. Without attendance records and meeting minutes, this timeline is enough to nail me. Officer Cao asked: “Who deleted this history?” The head of the human resources department continued to check. “The deletion time was two forty-nine minutes this afternoon.” Nghiem Man immediately said: “Before the executive office meeting started.” The head of the human resources department nodded. “The deletion operation was performed from the computer in the executive office meeting room.” Everyone's eyes once again fell on Qin Yuan. Tan Vien's face has regained some calm. He neither denied nor admitted. "I'm not the only one who can enter the executive office meeting room." The chairman looked at him coldly. "What about the personal authorization code?" The head of the human resources department gulped. "The deletion operation does not use Vice President Qin's authorization code." Qin Yuan's eyes relaxed slightly. But right after that, the head of human resources said: "The chairman's office authorization code was used." The meeting room immediately fell silent. Even manager Trinh was stunned. The chairman's face darkened. "My authorization code?" The head of the human resources department did not dare to raise his head. "The system displays it like that." Tan Vien finally spoke: "President, this shows that the problem is not something only I can explain." His voice was not heavy. But as soon as the words were spoken, everyone understood. He was leading the fire upward. If the history was erased using the authorization code of the president's office, the matter would have taken a new direction. Or the president is also involved. Or someone has taken his rights. Regardless of the situation, it's enough to make you angry
The company was completely shocked. I looked at the screen and suddenly remembered the anonymous message. Don't believe his words, the real price list was not sent by Phuong Duyet. The anonymous person knows that the server still has a deleted history. I also know that the president's words cannot be completely trusted. That person is always watching us. Maybe even right inside the company. Police Officer Cao asked the chairman: "Have you recently given the authorization code to others to use?" The chairman's face was unsightly. "No." The legal officer reminded in a low voice: "Chairman, your secretary has the right to temporarily authorize." The chairman looked at the secretary behind him. The secretary is about thirty years old, last name is Tham. His face turned white and he immediately shook his head. "I didn't do that." Officer Cao looked at him. "Where are you at two forty-nine this afternoon?" Secretary Tham said: "I'm downstairs receiving guests." Manager Trinh frowned. "We won't arrive until three hours later." Secretary Tham's expression stiffened. He quickly added: "It's not manager Trinh, it's another customer." The president asked: "Which customer?" Secretary Tham opened his mouth. Unable to answer. Tan Vien suddenly burst out laughing. "It seems like there are more people to investigate today than I thought." The chairman's face became even colder. I don't care about the undercurrent between them.
