Chapter 9
Chapter 9 — On a 5-day business trip, I called the police to kick my husband's entire family out of the house
I sat in my office for ten minutes, piecing the whole thing together. The timeline is now very clear. Five days I went on a business trip. Chu Hao Nam and his family changed the locks on my house and kicked me out. At the same time, he used my computer to log into the company system and intentionally edited the data in the plan. After that, Phuong Bach Lam took the exact design - my design - went to meet his partner, forced the price to steal the project. One arrow hits three targets. Kick me out of my own house. Destroy my professional reputation. Stole my project and gave it to his friend. This is not a temporary impulse. But having a plan in advance. I picked up my phone and texted Tu Manh, telling him the whole story. She replied very quickly:
“Theft of trade secrets can be sued separately.”
“In the immediate future, tell the company to keep all IT login history and file editing logs.”
Then I went to find General Manager Trieu.
“General Zhao, I have something to tell you.”
I tell it from beginning to end. Door lock changed. Furniture was thrown out. The computer was touched. File is modified. Phuong Bach Lam forced the price to rob the project. After hearing this, General Manager Trieu's face turned pale with anger.
“Your husband colluded with outsiders to steal our company's project?”
“Where is the evidence?”
“The IT login history can prove that the file was edited right at my home.”
“During my business trip, I did not log into the system at all.”
“And at that time my computer was not in my hand.”
General Manager Trieu tapped lightly on the table.
“This Thien Ty Hoa Vien project has a contract value of 3,800,000 yuan.”
“If Phuong Bach Lam takes it away…”
“The company's losses will be huge.”
“General Zhao.”
I looked straight at her.
“I want to save this project.”
“Save how?”
“The other partner side has someone contact me directly.”
“The last five business days I went to work with them.”
“Initially they were very satisfied with my plan.”
“Now there is a problem because the data is corrupted.”
“I will send back the exact version, and clearly state that there was an internal leak on my side.”
“The solution that Gia Hoa Design has is that the documents were stolen.”
General Manager Trieu looked at me for a few seconds.
“Will the partner believe it?”
“They will believe.”
I replied very firmly.
"Because Phuong Bach Lam's plan certainly has many parts that overlap with mine."
“He copied the original.”
“Just compare the two plans and see immediately.”
General Manager Trieu thought for a moment then nodded.
“You go handle it.”
“But if it can't be saved—”
“If it can't be saved…”
I clenched the documents in my hand.
“I will resign.”
“I didn't mean that.”
"I get it."
“But I have to take responsibility for this.”
Leaving the general manager's office, I returned to my seat, opened the phone book and found the number of the general manager of the Thien Ty Hoa Vien project - Vuong general of the partner side.
“General Vuong, I am Lam Van Tinh from Due Hang.”
“Regarding the data issue in the plan, I need to meet you in person to discuss it with you.”
“Tieu Lam…”
Mr. Vuong's voice on the end of the line was a bit hesitant.
“There was an error in that plan, so we do have some concerns…”
“General Vuong.”
I interrupted.
“That wrong data version was not the final version submitted by me.”
“There was an internal security incident on our side, the file was edited by someone else.”
“I have an exact backup with the entire chain proof."
“I also want to ask one more thing…”
I stopped for a beat.
“Did someone recently introduce you to a company called Gia Hoa Design?”
The other end of the line was silent for exactly one second.
“You know?”
“Because the option they have is to steal from me.”
“If you put the two plans next to each other, you will see a lot of overlap.”
“I can bring all the evidence to meet you in person.”
“Tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock, come to my office.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wang.”
After hanging up the phone, I let out a long breath. This battle… It's a lot more complicated than I thought. But I won't lose.
