Chapter 4 — Recruitment Spots Stolen

"I only consider based on the actual needs of the department."

"There are candidates whose resumes look very nice, but are not necessarily stable."

"At least the person introduced internally still has a clear background."

I laughed.

"So..."

"You use humiliation to force publicly recruited candidates to withdraw themselves."

"Then let the people on the internal introduction list properly step in."

Phuong Man glared at me.

"Khuong An Ninh, on what basis do you say that?"

"Based on this very scoreboard."

I pulled out a piece of paper from the file.

"This candidate has eight years of international account management experience."

"The reason I eliminated her is..."

'The ability to express yourself in English is not satisfactory.'

"But she studied both her undergraduate and master's degrees in England."

"What I used to interview her..."

"There are again questions about financial supervision regulations."

"While the position she applied for..."

"It's the customer manager."

"But that's not..."

"Legal Director."

Phuong Man could not refute. I pulled out the second sheet again.

"This candidate is thirty-six years old."

"The reason for my exclusion is: family burden can affect overtime."

"There was no mention of her marital status or children in her profile."

"So how do you rely on knowing that she has a family burden?"

Phuong Man's face no longer had any color left. At that moment, the male interviewer spoke softly.

"She asked."

Everyone simultaneously looked towards him. He tightened his grip on the pen in his hand.

"Every time I interview a woman over thirty-five years old, Manager Phuong will ask around questions."

"Do you have any children?"

"Who takes care of the child?"

"What if the elderly person in the house falls ill?"

"Is it acceptable to go on a business trip?"

"If the answer doesn't satisfy her, she will write down that her ability to withstand pressure is not enough."

Phuong Man immediately shouted and interrupted.

"Tuong Viet!"

The male interviewer raised his head. This time, he didn't bend down anymore.

"What I said is the truth."

The atmosphere in the meeting room seemed to freeze. Phuong Man's eyes looked at him full of menace. But she forgot. Ha Minh Xuyen is still here. The Inspection Board manager immediately took notes.

"Tuong Viet, please coordinate with us later to prepare a written report."

Tuong Viet nodded. Phuong Man's shoulders sagged. She was finally afraid. Don't be afraid of me. But I was afraid that the subordinates who had always dared not speak up, today also stood up and told the truth. Ha Minh Xuyen closed the file.

"Phuong Man, first go to meeting room number two to work with the Inspection Committee."

"Your computer, employee ID card and all system access will be frozen immediately."

Phuong Man suddenly raised his head.

"General Manager Ha, there's no need to go to this extent, right?"

"I have worked at Thinh Hoa for seven years."

"Even if there is no merit, there is still hardship."

"How many recruitment tasks of the Human Resources department, each time is not my responsibility?"

"You cannot suspend my work just because of an outsider!"

Outsider. When she said those two words, she still tried to hold on to the last bit of dignity. Ha Minh Xuyen looked at her, his voice cold to the point of no emotion.

"Khuong An Ninh is not an outsider."

"She is the newly appointed Talent Management Consultant of Thinh Hoa Group."

Phuong Man's expression was stiff dull. I also turned to look at Ha Minh Xuyen. Before coming here, I had never heard of this title. Ha Minh Xuyen did not explain. He just kept talking.

"From today, she will report directly to me."

"The complete reform of the recruitment system will be in charge of her."

Phuong Man's lips trembled. Only now did she truly understand. The person being interviewed today... It's not me. It's her. People from the Inspection Committee stepped forward.

"Manager Phuong, please cooperate."

When being taken to the door, Phuong Man suddenly stopped walking. She turned her head to look at me. There was both resentment and panic in his eyes.

"Khuong An Ninh, do you think you won?"

"You don't know... whose selection is the person you touched."

Just finished speaking. The faces of the people of the Inspection Committee immediately changed. Ha Minh Xuyen also raised his eyes. I held the internal nomination list on the table, my eyes stopped at the column behind Luc Giai Di's name. Nomination relationship. Office of the Board of Directors. My finger stopped. Right at that moment. Ha Minh Xuyen's phone rang. He glanced at the screen, his face immediately darkened. Only three words appear on the screen. Chairman of the Board of Directors. Ha Minh Xuyen did not answer the phone immediately. All eyes in the meeting room focused on the phone in his hand. The three words Chairman of the Board of Directors flashed brightly on the screen. Phuong Man is currently being held by people from the Inspection Committee right in front of the door. As soon as she saw the incoming call, it was as if she had grasped the last straw to save her life, and even a ray of hope appeared on her face.

"General Manager Ha, surely the Chairman knows about this."

"There are arrangements... it's not up to me alone to decide."

Her voice was very soft. But every sentence and every word were like needles thrown straight into the atmosphere in the meeting room. Ha Minh Xuyen raised his eyes to look at her.

"So that means you admit... this list wasn't created by you alone?"

Phuong Man's face stiffened. Just as she was about to close her mouth, the phone stopped ringing. Right after that, the secretary's phone rang again. The secretary looked at the screen and said softly:

"General Manager He, the President's Office is calling."

Ha Minh Xuyen placed his phone face down on the table.
