Chapter 22 — Recruitment Spots Stolen

After hearing Phuong Man's words, Lam Lam immediately gave an order.

"Inspector, make a record of Phuong Man's on-site testimony."

"Information security, immediately preserve all mailbox data she just mentioned."

"Legal, announce the presence of an independent outside lawyer."

The Chairman's face completely turned cold.

"Lam Lam, are you planning to bring your internal matters to an outside lawyer?"

Lam Lam calmly looked at him.

"The case involved forging the signature of the Chairman of the Audit Committee, impersonating senior leadership accounts, and manipulating recruitment resources."

"This is no longer an ordinary internal matter."

The entire meeting room was silent. No one dared to speak up. I gently looked at Ha Minh Xuyen. From the beginning until now he has remained silent. But I clearly saw the blue veins on the back of his hand emerging. The forged signature from seven years ago is a slander against me. But to you... It's also an exploitation. It was you who personally invited me back to investigate Thinh Hoa. However, in the most important old case, he saw with his own eyes that his name was used by others to harm others. That pain... I'm afraid it's no lighter than mine. Just as the audit team was about to arrive, Luc Giai Di suddenly spoke up.

"I also have something to say."

All eyes simultaneously turned towards her. Standing next to the conference table, her face was pale, but she still tried to smile.

"Everyone always said I was the one being sorted in."

"But seven years ago, I was just a girl who had just graduated."

"Wherever my parents tell me to go, I go."

"I have absolutely no idea who Khuong An Ninh is."

I looked straight at her.

"What about now?"

The smile on Luc Giai Di's lips immediately stiffened. I took a step forward.

"Seven years ago you could have said you didn't know."

"But this time it's different."

"You clearly know that you have not yet completed the resignation procedures at the consulting company."

"Know the hiring process is pre-scored."

"Know clearly that someone is clearing the way for you."

"And yet you still appeared."

Luc Giai Di's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"I just want a chance."

"People like you can always talk about fairness."

"Because you can already win with ability."

"But I don't."

Having said this, she suddenly stopped. It seemed like she also realized that she had said something wrong. I'm just sorry... It's too late. Lam Lam on the other end of the screen slowly spoke:

"Who told you..."

"...that Khuong An Ninh was originally able to win with ability?"

Luc Giai Di's face instantly turned white without a drop of blood. 18Luc Giai Di's silence gave everyone the answer. It's not like she doesn't know. At least, what she knows is more than what she just admitted. Lam Lam stared at the screen, his voice cold without a ripple.

"Luc Giai Di, answer me."

"Who told you that Khuong An Ninh could have won that year?"

Luc Giai Di's fingers tightened the handle of the bag. She looked at the Chairman, then looked at Nham Canh Hoa again. But neither of them responded. In the blink of an eye, they seemed to have pushed her back to the center of the board at the same time. Luc Giai Di's eyes suddenly turned red.

"I do not know."

"I... just heard other people say that."

I looked at her.

"Hear who?"

Luc Giai Di bit her lips tightly. did not reply. At that moment, Phuong Man suddenly smirked.

"Who else could it be?"

"It's her father."

Luc Giai Di immediately turned around.

"Shut up!"

Phuong Man looked at her coldly.

"Now you know how to tell me to shut up?"

"Seven years ago, when your father invited Nham Canh Hoa to dinner, I was still standing outside waiting to get the documents."

"He said it himself, that girl named Khuong is too outstanding, if she is placed in Thinh Hoa in the future, it will be very difficult to control."

"He also said, young people must know their place."

"If you don't know your position, you don't deserve the resources."

Luc Giai Di's face was as white as paper. She kept shaking her head.

"I do not know."

"That's what they said, not me."

I looked at her. There is no more anger in my heart like I once imagined. The anger is long gone. What's left is only a tired alertness. Seven years ago, I thought I had lost to something called the invisible rule. Only today did I find out... What made me lose were very specific people. They sat around a table. Just drank tea. Just talking about resources. Discuss location. Then with just a few words... A stranger's honor was decided. Decide whether that person can enter a business or not. Also decide later whether other companies will quietly drop that person's name. Luc Giai Di covered his face, his voice trembling.

"But then I also left Thinh Hoa."

"I don't get any benefit."

I calmly replied:

"What you got..."

"...is a starting point."

"She used that starting point to enter the consulting company."

"The consulting company used you to create a beneficial relationship with Thinh Hoa."

"Seven years later..."

"You brought that same relationship back with you."

"Preparing to step into an even more important position."

"You said you didn't benefit."

"So the person whose opportunity you robbed..."

"...what does it count?"

Luc Giai Di was completely silent.
