Chapter 18 — Recruitment Spots Stolen

So slow that... Fingertips just barely brushed the inside edge of the table. The memory card is much thinner than I thought. It's also stuck with extremely strong tape. I didn't try to yank it hard. Just use your fingernail to gently lift one corner. Then use the pen cap to cover the movement. Silently put it in the palm of your hand. The whole process... Less than three seconds. When I stood up straight. Luc Giai Di is staring at me. Her eyes are very sharp. Like I discovered something. But not sure yet. I put the pen back on the table. The palm of the hand hangs naturally at the side.

"If people don't have an opinion."

"Then let's check the scene first."

Nham Canh Hoa immediately objected.

"No need."

"The most important thing now is to check the records."

"Don't let her lead you."

The Chairman did not speak. He just looked at me. That look made me understand. He also began to suspect... I took something. Right at that moment. Ha Minh Xuyen walked over and stood next to me. The position he stands in is extremely clever. Just blocking the view from Luc Giai Di to my right hand.

"Legislation."

"Inspect."

"Just follow Advisor Khuong's suggestion."

The Chairman's voice was cold.

"I still don't agree."

Ha Minh Xuyen replied calmly.

"Just now the Chairman himself said it."

"I was involved in the approval file seven years ago."

"It is not appropriate to participate in determining the truth."

"So now..."

"Let the Law and Inspectorate do the right process."

"You shouldn't interfere either."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. To the point where you can almost hear each breath clearly. The Head of the Legal Department also made up his mind.

"Everyone is requested not to leave the room for now."

"We will inventory all the documents currently in the conference room first."

The Chairman's face was extremely unsightly. But he couldn't keep saying "I'll see who dares." By a report by the Department of Information Security. Tuong Viet's denunciation. Same anonymous recording. Pushed the whole matter to the door of the Audit Committee. He stopped even more. It's more like being guilty. The Inspection Committee manager began to inventory the documents on the table. At that moment, all eyes turned. I deftly inserted the memory card into the slot on the side of the recording pen. That recording pen has a built-in card reader port. It's the device I often used when investigating previous projects. I turned on the screen. A folder immediately appears. The folder name is very short. Seven-year replacement series. My fingertips stopped. Ha Minh Xuyen asked softly.

"What is it?"

I don't answer. Because the title of the first file in the folder... It sent a chill down my spine. Explanation about the replacement of the Young Talent Program admission. Establishment time. Seven years ago. Not Nham Canh Hoa. It's not Phuong Man either. Office of the Chairman of Thinh Hoa Group. I open the file. The first line clearly states:

"Khuong An Ninh has excellent general ability, but comes from an independent background, which is not favorable for future management. It is recommended to be adjusted to category because of risks."

Next line.

"Luc Giai Di is a training subject designated by the partner. After recruitment, a long-term resource connection can be established."

I slowly raised my head. The Chairman is looking straight at me. The expression on his face... Finally completely changed. Not angry. I have seen it. The very next second. He suddenly spoke up.

"Khuong An Ninh is holding an unlicensed storage device."

"Take it back immediately."

Just finished the Chairman's words. The two middle managers standing at the door immediately stepped forward. Ha Minh Xuyen raised his hand to block it.

"No one is allowed to move."

His voice is not loud. But enough to overwhelm the entire meeting room. The other two immediately stood still. Can't advance. Going back is not enough. The Chairman looked at Ha Minh Xuyen.

"She arbitrarily obtained confidential company documents."

"Do you still want to protect her?"

Ha Minh Xuyen didn't look at me. He just looked at the Head of the Legal Department.

"Verify first."

"Is what she's holding related to this incident or not?"

The head of the Legal Department had beads of sweat on his forehead. Until now. Today's investigation went beyond a typical internal audit. But he still gritted his teeth and walked forward.

"Advisor Khuong."

"Please..."

"What are you holding in your hand?"

I placed the recording pen on the table.

"The memory card was just discovered in the meeting room."

"Inside there are documents related to the Young Talent Program from seven years ago."

Nham Canh Hoa immediately shouted loudly.

"Who knows if it was you who brought it in?"

I looked at him.

"You can absolutely request to extract the conference room camera."

"Watch when I walk in..."

"Have you ever touched under the table?"

Nham Canh Hoa immediately became speechless. I continue.

"It is also possible to examine fingerprints on memory cards."

"Check usage history."

"And the time it took to create the files."

"If it's true, I faked it."

"I will bear all the consequences myself."

The Chairman's voice was cold.

"Of course you are responsible."

I looked straight at him.

"What if I didn't fake it?"

He did not answer. The entire meeting room fell into a stuffy atmosphere. The Head of the Legal Department received the recording pen.
