Chapter 6 — My Achievements, Finally Bear My Name

Tan Man was silent. I opened the document I prepared yesterday. That is not a complete plan. A framework that can immediately get to work. Industry data sources have been fully listed. The twelve missing data categories clearly state who is responsible. Analytical method. Acceptance standards. All are clearly written. Anyone with reception expertise... knows what to do next. I don't dig holes. Do not intentionally leave incorrect data. No more pre-written conclusions for the person who will stand on stage. Luong Khai Dong flipped a few pages.

"Is this all you prepared?"

"This is all the content that can be confirmed at the present time."

"What about market opportunities?"

"A regional analysis must be completed first."

"Growth goals?"

"Need to confirm the background data of the store system."

"Budget?"

"Additional cost data is needed."

He asked a question. I answer with the correct corresponding prerequisites. On to the fifth question... He didn't ask anymore. All answers are clearly recorded in the framework. Luong Khai Dong closed the document. His voice was very calm.

"If you don't do it..."

"...then I'll do it myself."

Tan Man was startled.

"Brother Luong, tomorrow has to..."

"I know."

He turned to look at me.

"Send all existing frameworks and documents to me."

"It's all in the project system."

"What about presentation slide templates?"

"In the company's shared sample library."

"What about all the notes of the Lan Hai project?"

"Those are documents from the Lan Hai project."

"The raw materials cannot be used for the Tinh Cang project."

Luong Khai Dong's jaw muscles tightened.

"Now you don't even want to give reference documents?"

"I can provide archived research methods."

"As for customer-specific conclusions..."

"...cannot be copied directly."

"I didn't ask you to reveal the secret."

"So..."

"...I only provide reusable content."

Tan Man opened his mouth to say something. But in the end... She was silent again. Trinh Da quietly pushed back the progress of the Tinh Cang project by one milestone.

"If tomorrow's meeting only discusses orientation, I suggest not committing to a specific handover time."

Luong Khai Dong looked at him.

"I will consider it myself."

Before the meeting ended, he edited two items in the project management system. Last reporter: Luong Khai Dong. Person in charge of strategy: Luong Khai Dong. The system immediately displays a confirmation message. 【The person in charge of strategy will be responsible for the final confirmation of the option logic, budget model and risk scope.】 He clicked Confirm. I looked at that name on the screen. Doesn't prevent. This is the first time... He officially received a set of plans. Don't just take the name. But also accept responsibility. After returning to my seat, I uploaded three documents to the system according to the meeting's conclusion. Bidding plan framework. List of data to be provided. Shared research methods. There is no complete presentation. There are no captions for each page. There is also no set of questions and answers to customers. Seven o'clock in the evening. This is the first time Luong Khai Dong proactively texted me. 【How should the market size analysis page be written?】 I answered: 【Need to confirm the scope microdata for each region first. Request the data recorded on page 6 of the framework.】 Twenty past seven. 【What growth target should be set appropriately?】 【Need to be calculated based on the store system's background data and budget limits. See page 11 of the framework.】 It's eight o'clock. 【Just give me an estimate first.】 【The data is currently incomplete, it is not recommended to draw conclusions with customers.】 He did not text further. Half past nine. Tan Man called me.

"Van Ninh, do you really think this is necessary?"

"Haven't I completed any items yet?"

"She clearly knows that Mr. Luong cannot complete the entire set of plans in just one night."

"But the person in charge of strategy has been confirmed to be him."

"It's just a name in the system."

I smiled softly.

"So the name on the bounty list..."

"...isn't it just a name in the system?"

The other end of the line immediately went silent. After a while, Tan Man sighed softly.

"If you want a bonus, you can negotiate."

"There's no need to bring up the Tinh Cang project to be angry."

"I'm not angry at all."

"So why don't you finish the complete plan?"

"Because..."

"A complete set of plans cannot be put together in a day."

"Didn't you also do the previous Lan Hai project?"

"Lan Hai..."

"...I used up all five months."

Tan Man did not say anything more. I continue:

"Twenty-three project versions..."

"...not a replicable set of templates."

"Twenty-three times to make a judgment."

"Who gets the final verdict..."

"...then that person must understand why that conclusion was reached."

Before hanging up the phone, Tan Man only said one sentence:

"Tomorrow if a problem occurs in front of customers..."

"...wouldn't be beneficial to the company."

"So..."

"Today I have written down all the risks."

The call ended. Ten o'clock at night. I'm off work. Passing by Luong Khai Dong's office. The light is still on. On the computer screen is a presentation of the Tinh Cang project. The first page is completed. The second page only has an industry chart copied from a public report. From the third page onwards... Blank. Hearing footsteps, he raised his head to look at me.

"Co Van Ninh."

I stopped.

"Is something wrong?"

He looked at me for a few seconds.

"You don't need to present tomorrow."

"But still have to sit in the back row."

"In what capacity will I participate?"

"Project team member."

"If a customer asks a professional question..."

"...you must answer."

I looked straight at him.

"In the system..."

"The person in charge of strategy is you."

Luong Khai Dong's face immediately darkened.

"Are you really going to stand by and watch what happens to the project?"

"I will answer issues within my scope of responsibility."

"What is the scope of responsibility?"

"The data I have confirmed."

"The methods I submitted."

"And the research part is in charge of me."

"What about the other parts?"

"The person in charge will answer."

He stared at me. Don't say another word. I turned around and walked towards the elevator. Behind... He didn't call me back again. The next morning. Luong Khai Dong held the frame I built myself... ...entered the first plan reporting session with Tinh Cang.
