Chapter 5 — Recruitment Spots Stolen

The secretary received the call and turned on the speakerphone. The voice of a middle-aged man was heard on the other end of the line.

"Is General Manager Ha there?"

Ha Minh Xuyen spoke up. The opponent clearly paused for a moment.

"The Chairman invites you to his office now."

"Regarding the recruitment for the position of Assistant General Director of the International Business Department, the Chairman wants to discuss directly."

Ha Minh Xuyen's voice is still calm.

"I am currently handling the investigation of violations in the recruitment process."

"Please wait a moment, Chairman."

The voice on the other end of the line immediately became awkward.

"The president said... don't let the matter spread in the immediate future."

"The candidates have all come to the company for interviews. If this story spreads out, it will have a negative impact."

"Especially when external consultants interfere with internal recruitment, it is easy to misunderstand departments."

Hearing this, I understood in my heart. This is no longer simply a case of internal referrals. But above... Someone stood up to support it. The corners of Phuong Man's lips moved slightly. She bowed her head, as if trying to suppress a smile. Ha Minh Xuyen looked at the phone.

"Inform the Chairman."

"If there is a problem with the recruitment system, it must be investigated."

The other end of the line was silent for two seconds.

"General Manager Ha, the Chairman also said..."

"The introduction of Luc Giai Di has been recorded and recorded by the Office of the Board of Directors."

"There's nothing wrong with her record."

"There is no need for some details in the process to affect the group's internal coordination."

Details in the process. I looked at the stack of documents on the table. Suddenly, those four words felt so light. So light that... It can cover up the humiliation of more than a dozen candidates who have been humiliated. So light that... Can erase every fake interview. Finally, Phuong Man couldn't bear it anymore.

"General Manager Ha, I said it from the beginning."

"Internal introduction is for reference only."

"The people recommended by the Office of the Board of Directors have definitely been screened."

"I just coordinated the correct implementation of the process."

The manager of the Inspection Department frowned slightly.

"Manager Phuong, now is not the time for you to explain."

Phuong Man's momentum seems to have returned a bit.

"Of course I have to explain."

"You just relied on one set of anonymous documents to freeze all my powers."

"Is this legal?"

"I want to see the Chairman."

Ha Minh Xuyen did not look at her. He just asked the person on the other end of the line.

"Is there anything else the President has to say?"

The opponent lowered his voice.

"The Chairman hopes that you... take the big picture seriously."

Take the big picture as important. That saying... Too familiar. Every time someone suffers. There will always be people who use the words "big picture" as an excuse. I picked up the internal introduction list and flipped to Luc Giai Di's profile page. The girl in the photo is very young. But it's so beautiful that it's a bit fake. Two years of work experience. Three times held the position of project leader. But for each project, only the results are recorded. Absolutely no mention of the process. Most importantly. Her previous company... is the consulting unit that is cooperating with Thinh Hoa to build an optimal organizational structure plan. I used my fingertip to gently tap on that line of information.

"General Manager Ha."

"She's not a case of insider introduction usually."

Everyone looked at me simultaneously. I pushed the documents in front of Ha Minh Xuyen.

"Luc Giai Di's previous company is currently in charge of the project to optimize the organizational structure for Thinh Hoa."

"If she is hired as Assistant General Manager of the International Business Department..."

"She will have access to overseas projects, staffing budgets and senior management schedules."

"This is more than simply arranging an assistant."

"It's about bringing an external partner's people close to the core information."

The other end of the line immediately fell silent. Ha Minh Xuyen's eyes also became deeper.

"Are you still listening over there?"

The other person's voice was somewhat tense.

"General Manager Ha, this matter cannot be said indiscriminately."

I looked at the phone, my voice calm as before.

"Is it nonsense or not..."

"Just check Luc Giai Di's resignation procedures to know."

"If she still hasn't completed the resignation procedures..."

"Or still retain access to the consulting firm's projects..."

"Then..."

"This internal demo is no longer a procedural oversight."

"It's a serious danger."

The entire conference room fell silent, with only the gentle sound of the air conditioner ringing. Phuong Man's face changed again. This time, what she feared was no longer being suspended from work. It's because of the fear that deeper things will be discovered. Ha Minh Xuyen turned to instruct the secretary.

"Tell Information Security to investigate."

The secretary immediately nodded. The other end of the line suddenly raised their voice.

"General Manager Ha, the Chairman asks you to go there immediately!"

Ha Minh Xuyen picked up the phone. This time he did not continue to beat around the bush anymore.

"Inform the Chairman."

"I'll pass."

"But not now."

After speaking, he hung up the phone. Phuong Man looked at him, her voice trembling.

"General Manager Ha... do you really want to confront the Chairman for her?"

Finally, Ha Minh Xuyen turned to look at her.

"Not because of her."

"It's because Thinh Hoa still deserves to be called a company."
