Chapter 9 — Recruitment Spots Stolen

"But only to check the handover progress after quitting, absolutely do not download any documents."

I asked her:

"Is your resignation procedure complete?"

Luc Giai Di paused for a moment.

"Still in process."

"In other words..."

"Currently, legally, she is still an employee of the consulting company."

The smile on her lips faded a bit.

"That may be so."

"But I'm no longer involved in any projects."

I pushed the Information Security Department report towards her.

"Last night at ten forty-two."

"You have accessed Thinh Hoa's Organizational Structure Optimization project."

"Is that called no longer participating?"

Luc Giai Di did not look at the report. She just looked at the Chairman.

"Mr. Chairman, I actually just clicked to check if access has been locked or not."

"I didn't expect such a small thing to be taken so seriously."

The Chairman was silent for a moment.

"Young people just need to be reminded when handing over work carelessly."

"There's no need to speak so harshly."

Listen here. I suddenly burst out laughing.

"If she was just an ordinary employee..."

"Of course just a reminder."

"But the position she's about to take is assistant general manager of the International Business Department."

"This position can access minutes of strategic meetings, international cooperation schedules and even the board of directors' work schedules."

"A person who hasn't completely severed ties with outside organizations..."

"How can we overcome the conflict of interest review step?"

Luc Giai Di's eyes finally turned cold in the blink of an eye. But very quickly, she regained her composure.

"Advisor Khuong."

"You talk so much..."

"Is it assumed that I have a problem?"

"Not the default."

"It's verification."

I looked straight at her.

"In your profile, you said from May to August last year you were in charge of a customer appraisal project in Berlin."

"While at the same time she was participating in a closed domestic training course."

"So how are you in charge?"

Luc Giai Di blinked slightly.

"Remote customer appraisal still requires a face-to-face interview record."

"Do you have that record?"

"In the old company's system."

"Your account is still active."

"So now can you open it for everyone to see?"

This time she didn't answer right away. The Head of the Board of Directors Office immediately spoke up.

"Adviser Khuong, you do not have the right to ask the candidate to provide documents from the previous unit."

I nodded.

"So I change the question."

"Who wrote this experience in your profile?"

The smile on Luc Giai Di's face completely disappeared. The entire meeting room fell silent. I continue.

"Just now you said your profile was completely true."

"But someone who actually participated in the project..."

"There will never be a vague answer about how such due diligence is done."

"Unless..."

"This experience was not written by you."

Luc Giai Di's fingers tightened slightly. She hadn't even opened her mouth yet. Phuong Man suddenly burst out laughing. Laughter is very short. But it was enough to make everyone turn to look at her. Phuong Man stared at Luc Giai Di.

"Of course you don't know how to answer."

"Because of that file..."

"It was fixed by the Board of Directors Office then send it to me."

The expression of the Head of the Board of Directors Office immediately changed.

"Phuong Man!"

Phuong Man seemed to have completely disregarded everything.

"Now you want to push all the blame on me alone?"

"Don't even try!"

She raised her hand and pointed straight at Luc Giai Di.

"From painting profiles..."

"To the scoring board..."

"List of candidates as background for the interview..."

"It was all given to me by the Office of the Board of Directors."

"I just followed."

Finally, Luc Giai Di's face turned pale. The Chairman slammed his cane on the floor. But this time... No one immediately fell silent. Because the person in charge of the Information Security Department picked up the phone again. After looking at the screen, his face was even more unsightly than before.

"General Manager Ha."

"We just discovered..."

"Last night, the person accessing the project system was not just Luc Giai Di's account."

Ha Minh Xuyen raised his head.

"Who else?"

The person in charge tightened his grip on the phone, his voice tense.

"There is another login address..."

"Coming from the intranet of the Office of the Board of Directors of Thinh Hoa."

As soon as I heard the four words on the internal network of the Office of the Board of Directors, the atmosphere in the meeting room seemed to be stifled by someone. The face of the Head of the Board of Directors Office first stiffened. Immediately after that it turned into anger.

"Are you sure?"

The person in charge of the Information Security Department didn't dare look at him.

"According to the initial system log, that is correct."

"We still need to continue collecting evidence, but the login time was less than two minutes from the time Luc Giai Di's account was accessed."

Ha Minh Xuyen asked:

"Access to what content?"

The person in charge lowered his voice.

"Same project folder."

The Head of the Board of Directors Office immediately turned to the Chairman.

"President, this is definitely a misunderstanding."

"The Board Office has a lot of shared computers."

"It is impossible to rely solely on an internal network address to conclude that it is our people."

I looked at him.

"I didn't say it was you."

His face became even more unsightly. Because everyone understands. He impatiently explained himself too quickly.
