Chapter 18 — My Achievements, Finally Bear My Name

Before ending the meeting. Duong Chi clearly identified the four people responsible in the minutes. Commercial manager: Tan Man. Person in charge of strategy: Co Van Ninh. In charge of implementation: Trinh Da. Person in charge of decision making: Luong Khai Dong.

"From now on..."

"...who confirmed..."

"...that person answered."

I looked at that statement. For five years. I have written countless sets of questions that customers can ask. This is the first time... I don't need to prepare an answer... For others anymore. Return to the company. La Han called me to the meeting room. This is the result of a specialized review of bonuses of the Lan Hai project. Liang Kaidong's 800,000 yuan... Not fully recovered. Rewards for... Customer Relations. Sign the contract. Debt recovery. And management. Still maintained. The only adjustment... is the amount of 240,000 yuan corresponding to the category:

"The key breakthrough of the plan."

180,000 yuan was transferred to the Professional Contribution Bonus Fund. 60,000 yuan was transferred to the project team's Cooperation Bonus Fund. Finance Department... Do not use the word "compensation." The title of the document is clearly stated. Adjust bonuses according to professional contributions. That means... That money is not because I suffered a disadvantage. It's not because my boss especially favors me. But for the first time... The value of a plan... Is considered an item that can be independently calculated and recorded. My professional bonus. 180,000 yuan. Not 800,000 yuan. Nor is it back pay for the entire five years that have passed. Just part of the work in the Lan Hai project... Full version available. Full working hours. And full mission history. La Han pushed the documents towards me.

"I need you to confirm this amount."

I looked closely at the spreadsheet. Strategic model: 35%. Budget calculation: 25%. Risk control plan: 20%. Professional answers to customers: 20%. Behind each item... clearly state the version history and origin of the task.

"I confirm."

La Han gave me another file. Decision to adjust position powers. My title... Still Strategic Procurement Manager. Do not jump two levels in a row. Don't suddenly become a partner of the company. What is added... Are three official powers. Can take on the role of Strategy Manager in key bidding packages. Expert contributions are included in the project's bounty fund. All conclusions sent outside must have the signature of the actual responsible person. At the same time... Records of previous projects... Have also been adjusted. After the names of the eleven key bids... A line is added. 【Actual strategy contributor: Co Van Ninh.】 Among the four winning projects. The summary after the project... Also added information about the person who actually built the plan. La Han said:

"Bonus from old projects..."

"...will not re-examine the whole thing."

"...official records will remain the same after adjustment."

"From now on..."

"...promotions and performance appraisals..."

"...will all be based on the revised records."

I nodded.

"One more thing."

La Han opened the bonus plan of the Tinh Cang project. Strategic contribution weight: 30%. If the project wins the bid... I will get a share of the money Reward according to the proportion of work completed. It's no longer... It's no longer... Compensation for hard work. Official company regulations. When the meeting ends. Luong Khai Dong just walked in from outside. He saw the bonus review file on the table. Stop for a moment.

"180,000 yuan?"

He didn't say congratulations. Don't tell me anymore... Don't pay too much attention to immediate benefits. A few seconds later. He asked:

"How is Tinh Cang's customer side?"

"Got to the next round."

"Pattern adopted?"

"Passed the initial appraisal step."

He nodded.

"Projects like this in the future..."

"...you are directly in charge of the strategy."

I looked at him.

"Just write it down in the system."

It was the first time between us... There was no more arguing about whether... The name was important or not. Behind that name... It's attached to the bonus. And also responsibility. Afternoon. The Tinh Cang project team updates the next round's tasks. Tan Man is in charge of quoting prices. Trinh Da is in charge of the implementation plan. I'm in charge of the final strategic model. Luong Khai Dong is in charge of the management board's decisions. No more text:

"The whole team completed it together."

Also gone:

"Van Ninh goes first."

Each person... Only accepts his or her own part of the job. I opened the final strategic plan. Right on the first page... There's a new section. 【Person in charge of strategy: Co Van Ninh.】 Right below... is the confirmation box. I sign my name. The system displays a notification. 【After confirmation, you will be ultimately responsible for the model, budget and risk boundaries of this option.】 I click Confirm. Before... Read that sentence. I just feel pressure. And now. I understand very well. Responsibility... Shouldn't be hidden. It must be placed next to... Name of person who made it. And bonuses. Stay in the same place. Seven o'clock in the evening. I packed my things and got ready to leave work. Luong Khai Dong walked out of the office. In his hand he holds the report schedule of the next round.

"Van Ninh."

I stopped.

"Next week's report..."

"...you are the main presenter."

"What about the commercial part?"

"I'm in charge."

"And the strategy part?"

"You present."

"If customers ask in-depth about the model?"

"She answered."

"And sign the contract and quote?"

"I'm responsible."

I nodded. He looked at me for a moment.

"What happened before..."

"...the company will handle it according to the new regulations."

No apologies. Don't suddenly admit your mistake. But at least... From this moment. He won't be able to continue holding my plan. Standing on the presentation podium. Then tell everyone... That I'm just an errand boy. I entered the elevator. The phone vibrates. This is the latest announcement of the Tinh Cang project. 【Main presenter for the next round: Co Van Ninh.】 【Person in charge of strategy: Co Van Ninh.】 【Weight of professional contribution bonus: 30%.】 I saved that roster in the project file. Do not take screenshots and post on social networks. Also don't send it to anyone. Its true value... Is next time. If anyone else says... Making plans is just behind the scenes work. The system will automatically appear. Who is the creator? Who confirms? Who receives the bonus? Three lines of text. First time... Written on the same slip assignment. Before the elevator doors closed. I saw Luong Khai Dong returning to the office. On his desk. There is also a new assignment of responsibilities. Whoever brings in customers... ...is in charge of commerce. Whoever confirms the quote... ...is responsible for the results. Whoever makes the plan... ...will stand on the podium and answer for himself. Name of executor. Bonus. And responsibility. Finally... Was in the same column.
