General Tien smiled coldly.

“Just to try it out, do you have to use an administrator password cracking tool?”

Vuong Wei's face immediately turned ashen ash. There was no blood left.

“Truong Dao.”

President Tien's eyes turned to the other person.

“Please explain to me.”

“Why is a core technical employee of the company, in your eyes, someone who can be ‘replaced at any time’?”

“Total money!”

Truong Dao explained in panic.

“I... I just said it in anger...”

“Didn't mean that at all…”

“Didn't mean that?”

Mr. Tien held a file of documents on the table. Throw it straight down in front of him.

"This is a report assessing the direct and indirect losses the company suffered because of this system incident."

“3,000,000 yuan.”

He looked at Truong Dao with cold eyes like ice.

“A sentence you said when you were angry…”

“Worth 3,000,000 yuan?”

Truong Dao bowed his head and looked at the documents. It was like all the strength in my body had just been drained away. The whole person is limp. I almost sat down on the ground. I sit on the sofa. Quietly take a sip of tea. The rest... There's no need for me to participate anymore. It was a one-sided reprimand. It should be called a trial. Half an hour later. The total money finally stopped.

“You two go back and write a serious review.”

“Put it on my desk tomorrow morning.”

“And what to do next…”

“The company will meet and decide later.”

He waved his hand.

“Get out.”

Truong Dao and Vuong Vi walked out of the office in a daze. When you get to the door. Vuong Wei's legs were soft. Almost fell to the ground. In the office. Once again, only me and General Tien remained.

“Advisor Tran.”

“For you to witness this, it really makes me embarrassed.”

“It is an internal matter of the company.”

I calmly replied. General Tien shook his head.

“That is also part of our partnership.”

He stood up. Step in front of me. Then proactively extend your hand.

“I apologize again.”

“Because I looked at people incorrectly.”

“And thank you too.”

“Thank you for helping me see the rotten tumors that exist inside the company.”

He looked straight into my eyes. Sincere voice.

“Now…”

“Can I officially invite you to become the company's long-term technical advisor?”

He took out a new contract. Place it in front of me.

“This is the contract we just revised.”

“Term of cooperation: three years.”

“Year's salary after tax: 1,000,000 yuan.”

I looked at the numbers on the contract. That's more than three times my previous year's salary.

“Also...”

Total money continues.

“Comprehensive system upgrade project in the next quarter.”

“I want to give you full responsibility.”

“Unlimited budget.”

“All departments must coordinate.”

He stopped. The corners of the lips are slightly raised.

“The person who directly cooperates with you…”

“It will be Truong Dao.”

“I hope in this project...”

“You can teach him well.”

I immediately understood. President Tien does not intend to fire Truong Dao immediately. He wanted Truong Dao to bow his head himself. Personally pick up the things you once despised. Little by little. Compared to being fired... It's much more painful. I picked up the contract. Then put your hand out. Grab Mr. Tien's hand.

“Total money.”

“Wish us a happy cooperation.”

Meeting Launch of the system upgrade project is set for Friday afternoon. The location is still the large meeting room on the eighteenth floor. As the main person in charge of the project, I sit at the center. General Tien personally attended the meeting. He sat right next to me. That was also his way of publicly showing his support for me. Meeting participants included all relevant department heads in the company. Truong Dao, as the person in charge of project connections, sat diagonally across from me. From beginning to end, he kept his head bowed. In hand holding a pen. Unconsciously scratching back and forth on the notebook. Looks like a prisoner awaiting sentencing. I opened the slide show. Start introducing the entire upgrade plan. From technical architecture. Coming to the development cycle. Then the rules for coordination between departments. My speaking speed is very fast. But the content is extremely clear. In the meeting room, only my voice and the sound of people rustling documents were left. After completing the presentation. I closed my laptop.

“Above is the entire overview of the plan.”

“If people have questions, they can talk now.”

The entire meeting room fell silent. No one dared to object to my plan in front of President Tien.
