Chapter 24 — Recruitment Spots Stolen

19As soon as the secretary's words ended, the entire meeting room felt like someone had pressed the mute button. Phuong Man was the first to laugh. The laughter was very soft, but carried the relief of someone who had just escaped the brink. Nham Canh Hoa adjusted his vest collar, his calm and arrogant expression from before quickly returned. The corners of Luc Giai Di's eyes were still tearful, but when she looked at me, there was a flicker of luck in her eyes, as if this chess game had not yet ended. The Chairman leaned on his cane and slowly turned around.

"Minh Xuyen, first hand over the work."

"The company will give you a chance to explain."

It sounds very polite. But actually he wants Ha Minh Xuyen to shut up. He didn't move at all. Just quietly looked at the secretary.

"Who signed and issued this assessment result?"

The secretary's voice was very small.

"It's an urgent resolution of the Board of Directors."

"There were five members participating in the vote, four agreed, one abstained."

Lam Lam on the other end of the screen smiled coldly.

"I never received notice of the meeting."

The Chairman raised his head to look at her.

"She is directly participating in the investigation of the scene and has interests involved, so she must follow the principle of avoiding conflicts."

Lam Lam's face completely turned cold.

"Do I have to avoid conflict or not..."

"...it is not the subject of investigation's turn to decide."

The Chairman did not respond to her anymore. He turned to the Head of the Legal Department.

"Starting now, suspend all powers of Ha Minh Xuyen as General Director."

"At the same time, cancel the decision to appoint Khuong An Ninh as an advisor."

"All documents in the meeting room will be unanimously sealed by the President's Office."

The Head of the Legal Department stood still in place, his face pale. He understood very clearly what that statement meant. Once all the evidence falls into the hands of the President's Office... A lot of things will take on a completely different face. I reached out and held the recording pen tightly.

"Mr. President..."

"It seems you forgot something."

He looked at me. I calmly said:

"Today all documents have been synchronized to the compliance system."

"Tuong Viet's denunciation was sent first."

"The Audit Committee connects later."

"If you still let the President's Office unilaterally seal the evidence..."

"...it's like handing over all the evidence to the very department being investigated."

The Chairman calmly replied:

"You're no longer a counselor."

"You are not qualified to speak."

I nodded.

"Then I'll speak as someone who was wrongly recorded as a 'moral hazard' seven years ago."

"I request to preserve my personal profile, all electronic signature data and documents related to the recruitment replacement."

"At the same time..."

"I object to the President's Office having unilateral access to these documents."

The entire meeting room suddenly fell silent. Nham Canh Hoa coldly spoke:

"Khuong An Ninh, don't take yourself too seriously."

"Whether there really is a problem with the records from seven years ago or not, there is still no conclusion yet."

I looked straight at him.

"So what are you in a hurry for?"

Nham Canh Hoa's face immediately darkened. The Chairman's patience has clearly run out.

"Invite her out."

The two managers standing at the door walked up again. This time Ha Minh Xuyen did not stop. He just quietly picked up the phone and pressed the play button. Language The text message alarm from Luc Giai Di's phone earlier immediately rang. Immediately after that was the recording from the recording pen I had placed on the table, every sentence and every word was clear.

"Don't say anything. Just put all the responsibility on Nham Canh Hoa, your father will protect you."

"The phone number is registered in the name of the Shenghua Strategic Cooperation Committee."

"The actual user is the Secretary General of the Commission."

"Luc Khai Son."

As soon as the recording was played, the two managers at the door immediately stopped. Ha Minh Xuyen slowly raised his eyes.

"Now..."

"The relevant person is no longer just the President's Office."

"But there's also the Strategic Cooperation Committee."

"In the recent emergency vote of the Board of Directors..."

"...whether or not members who have beneficial relationships with Luc Khai Son still participate in the voting?"

The secretary's expression suddenly changed. She did not answer. But that silence... Was the clearest answer. Lam Lam immediately spoke from the screen.

"Send the interim resolution of the Board of Directors to me immediately."

Reflexively, the secretary turned to look at the Chairman. He coldly said:

"No need."

Lam Lam's voice became even colder.

"If you don't send..."

"...I will request a direct extract from the Office of the Secretary of the Audit Committee."

"If among the voting members there is someone who has not disclosed their interest relationship..."

"...then this suspension resolution is of course invalid."

That sentence was like a hammer blow. The smile on Phuong Man's face immediately disappeared. Nham Canh Hoa's face turned pale again. At that moment, outside the meeting room, the sound of both urgent and steady footsteps was heard. The door was pushed open. A man with gray hair walked in. He wore a dark suit, had a gentle temperament but his eyes were extremely sharp. As soon as she saw him, Luc Giai Di's eye sockets immediately turned red. Luc Khai Son never looked at his daughter. He looked at the Chairman in turn... Looked at Ha Minh Xuyen... Finally, his eyes stopped on me.

"Miss Khuong."

"What happened seven years ago..."

"...we can talk."

I looked at him.

"What are you talking about?"

Luc Khai Son smiled slightly.

"Talk about a compensation..."

"...enough to satisfy you."

As soon as his words ended, Lam Lam on the other end of the screen slowly spoke:

"Luc Khai Son..."

"You came at just the right time."

"I also really want to hear..."

"...how much money are you planning to use to buy off a stain that others have fabricated on a person's life?"
