Chapter 9 — Leave Application Approved Within 10 Minutes

“I... I have a question.”

A voice suddenly rang out. Breaking the quiet atmosphere. It's Truong Dao. He raised his head. Try to force a smile. But that smile was more unsightly than crying.

“Adviser Tran's plan is indeed... very visionary.”

He opened with a flattering statement. Then immediately changed his tone.

“But isn't the project implementation cycle a bit too rushed?”

“In just one month, the first phase of implementation had to be completed.”

“As far as I know, this requires many departments to coordinate with very high intensity.”

“Our company's internal process... I'm afraid it's not that fast.”

When talking about the word "internal". He deliberately emphasized. As if reminding me that... I am already an outsider. I haven't had time to speak yet. President Tien's eyebrows were slightly furrowed. I held the laser pen on the table. Point to the project progress table on the screen.

“Director Truong.”

“The process issue you mentioned, I have already considered.”

“So the schedule is very clearly written on it.”

“All procedures requiring inter-departmental approval are the responsibility of the project manager.”

“And must be completed within forty-eight hours before each phase begins.”

I looked straight at him. Calm tone.

“That is work within your scope of responsibility.”

“There is no reason for the project to be delayed.”

Truong Dao's face immediately turned pale. He tried to find another reason.

“What about the budget.”

“In this plan there is a lot of new hardware and software services.”

“I took a quick look.”

“The investment cost is not small.”

“Recently the company has been tightening cost controls...”

The meaning in that statement is too clear. He is implying that I am taking advantage of the project for personal gain. I laughed.

“The budget report has been distributed to everyone present.”

“What is each expense used for?”

“And what long-term effects it brings.”

“For example, helping the company avoid another loss of 3,000,000 yuan due to system failure.”

“It's all spelled out very clearly.”

I closed the document. Then gently push the ball towards Tien.

“This budget has been personally approved by President Tien.”

“Director Truong.”

“Does that mean you're doubting President Qian's decision?”

"I do not have!"

“I didn't mean that at all!”

Truong Dao immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on. In that moment. The atmosphere in the meeting room froze. All eyes focused on his red face. President Tien's face was cold as ice at this moment. He picked up the cup of tea on the table. Gently blow a breath. But don't drink. Place it firmly on the table. The sound is not loud. But enough to startle everyone.

“Truong Dao.”

General Tien spoke up.

“It seems like you still don't understand your position.”

“Adviser Tran was invited to resolve the problem.”

“Not to explain the problem to you.”

“Your job is to clear obstacles.”

“Not creating more obstacles.”

He looked at Truong Dao. His eyes were as sharp as a blade.

“It seems that the position in charge of connecting this project…”

“You are not capable of taking charge.”

He turned to Director Zhou.

“Director Chu.”

“From today onwards, I will take over all of Truong Dao's work.”

“All resources in the company have the right to mobilize.”

"Only request."

“Ensure that Advisor Tran's project is implemented smoothly at all costs.”

“Yes, Mr. Tien.”

Director Chu immediately nodded. As for Truong Dao... His whole body slumped limply into the chair. Face as gray as ash. This is like a public execution in front of the entire middle management class of the company. His career. To this moment. It's completely over. After the meeting ends. The company's intranet immediately posted a staff mobilization notice.

“After review and discussion, the company decided:

Project Department Director Truong Dao temporarily suspended work for review. Project reporting specialist Vuong Vi, due to his work capacity not matching his current position requirements, was transferred to the logistics department, in charge of arranging and storing documents." From a PPT expert. Become a case manager. Vuong Wei's end was even more miserable than Truong Dao's. What he relies on to survive... His skillful mouth. And a bit of cunning and calculating. In new location. Completely useless. I walked out of the meeting room. Outside the hallway. The red sunset light covered the sky. A war that lasted for many years. Finally closed. But this time... He walked out of the battlefield with his head held high. Three months later. My personal studio has grown into a fairly large technology consulting company. The office is located in the most expensive Grade A building in the downtown area. Outside the glass door is the most prosperous scene of the CBD area. The staff is not large. But all of them are top experts that I hunted from large technology corporations. Customers are no longer confined to one company like before. Currently expanded to five businesses. Each unit is a famous name in the industry. My schedule is packed every day. Browse plans. Receiving guests. But extremely worth it. My old company is now just one of my many customers. The system upgrade project is progressing extremely smoothly under the full coordination of Chairman Chu. I no longer have to go directly to the company. Just participate in one online progress meeting each week.
