Chapter 10 — The Creator Cannot Be Erased

All the lenses in the hall... turned towards me at the same time. I calmly replied:

"The mall's night cleaning process is divided into each area."

"If the machine stops immediately..."

"It could block emergency exits or elevator doors."

"Eight minutes is just enough for the machine to complete the unfinished area, backing itself up to the edge of the wall..."

"At the same time, don't run too far after losing coordination."

Mr. Do nodded.

"This answer..."

"I heard it once three years ago."

He returned the microphone to the staff member. Then slowly say:

"The machine's system is subject to change."

"But someone who actually made the product..."

"You can't just fix a PowerPoint slide and replace it."

Zhou Kaiming's speech was not interrupted at all. The smile on his lips also did not disappear. But that day... The media's headlines changed.

"New generation rider debuts."

"Tung Quang announces new generation Space Intelligence platform."

That evening... I opened the latest roadshow document. Only two names remained on the first page. Chu Dinh Son – Chairman of the Board of Directors. Chu Khai Minh – Founder and Deputy General Director. As for my name... It's been moved down to page nineteen. 7. Confirmation of company history Three days after the press conference... La Man personally brought a gray file to my office.

"Confirmation of founding team and history of formation of Trung Quang Smart Technology Co., Ltd."

This is not a form required by a regulatory agency. It's an internal company document. The purpose is to unify the content of the business's history, roadshow documents and how to introduce the core team, asking relevant people to confirm. The third paragraph of the confirmation clearly states: Chu Khai Minh is the person who proposed the idea of establishing the company and is the sole founder. Chu Dinh Son is an investor from the early stages, and a person who always accompanies the company's development strategy. Just a professional manager recruited from the early days of establishment, in charge of product development and business implementation. In the past three funding rounds... I was always introduced as a co-founder. The first round's memorandum of understanding stated that I was in charge of product and operations. The roadshow document for the second round of funding noted "the founding team jointly holds shares." Even last year, in an interview with a financial magazine... Chu Dinh Son also said in front of the camera that... I was the one who brought Trung Quang from nothing. But today... No one said those documents were wrong. Just use a new confirmation... Every truth is changed to another version. I looked at that page twice.

"When did Zhou Kaiming propose the idea of establishing a company?"

La Man is still standing. Never sat down.

"That is the content given in advance by the President's Office."

"The securities company and media consulting unit only edited the text."

"The securities company also agrees?"

"They asked the company to confirm the accuracy of the incident themselves."

Just that one sentence... Outside consulting units do not want to determine who is the founder. They leave the decision-making power to the people involved. As long as I sign... Any controversy will immediately become the truth as I confirm it. Trinh Thu Ninh was never the founder. I turned to the last page. Chu Dinh Son signed. Zhou Kaiming also signed. In the witness section... La Man's name is still blank. Next to my signature box is a red sticky note. There was only one sentence written on it:

"I confirm that the entire formation history mentioned above is true, complete and does not contain any material omissions."

This isn't just about removing my name from a promotional poster. They wanted me to personally confirm that... The warehouse that year. The model machine had a water leak. The nights staying up until morning... It's simply the job that a hired manager must do.

"Why haven't you signed yet?"

"The confirmation of the truth must be confirmed in advance by an insider."

"Do you think this is true?"

"This problem..."

"A Board Secretary should not be allowed to answer with personal views."

La Man is not on my side. She also left her name blank. Don't help them complete the final step.

"When do you want to get the documents?"

"Before leaving work today."

"I won't sign."

Chu Dinh Son is in a meeting with the securities company on the twenty-sixth floor. When I walked over... In the hallway were three boxes of documents that had just been reprinted. Administrative staff squatting on the ground. Each person held a red sticky note to mark the missing signatures. Everyone is racing against time. Anyone who speaks out against... is like a screw that jams the whole machine. After the meeting ended... Chu Dinh Son took me into the small reception room next door.

"What's the problem?"

"Zhu Kaiming is not the founder."

"I'm not someone who was recruited later."

"The day the company was founded..."

"The shareholder listed on the business registration certificate is me."

"He contributed capital."

"I'm in charge of product and operations."

"This company was built by us together."

"The person who invested..."

"The one who bears the greatest risk."

"I also used to mortgage my house."

"I also took risks."
