Chapter 13 — The entire department's salary is 39,000 yuan, just me 5,800 yuan

He took me to tour the company. On the go. There are always people saying hello. At the same time, he looked curiously at me. Every time like that. He introduced himself very naturally:

“This is Chu Nhien.”

“The person in charge of our Phoenix Project.”

Every time I hear an introduction. The opponents both showed surprise mixed with respect. No one cares what position you held before. How much salary? They only care about ability. And the project you are in charge of.

“General Manager Tran.”

On the way to the meeting room. I finally asked the question I had kept in my heart for so long.

“How did you know me?”

He laughed.

“Do you remember the open source data architecture project called Prometheus?”

I was a bit taken aback. Then nodded. It's a fairly obscure open source project. Two years ago. I spent almost all my free time participating in development and maintenance. Purely for passion. Do not receive any compensation.

“In the list of core contributors there is an account named R.Z.”

He looked at me.

“It's you, right?”

My eyes immediately lit up.

“It's me.”

“Half a year ago.”

“Our company's underlying technology framework encountered a huge bottleneck.”

“Tried many options but all failed.”

He said with approval.

“Then one of our architects found the solution in Prometheus.”

“I followed the list of contributors.”

“And saw the code and technical documents she wrote.”

He stopped for a moment.

“Tight.”

“Have foresight.”

“At that moment I thought.”

“The person who writes such things should absolutely not be buried.”

He assigned the human resources department to find out about me. The results surprised him greatly. He stopped walking. There was a bit of regret in his eyes. There's just been a lot of recognition.

“Tieu Chu.”

“Her talents far exceed her previous position.”

“Gold will shine.”

“It's just that sometimes someone needs to brush off the dust on it.”

A warm current welled up in my heart. Silent efforts in the dead of night. The perseverance that no one knows about. Someone actually saw it. Not by luck. Not through relationships. But because capacity is accumulated day by day. Something that no one can take away. While I start a new journey at Lap Tan Technology. The old company is going through a severe personnel earthquake. After learning about Hoa Thinh's customer complaint. Learn more about the inside story related to the Phoenix Project. The Deputy General Director in charge immediately became angry. Vuong Le was suspended from work on the spot. Waiting for her was a notice of criticism from the entire company and a decision to terminate her job. Her career is almost over. The entire department was required to be fully investigated and restructured. The employees used to rely on my silent "blood transfusion" to create beautiful achievements. After losing the foundation. True ability was immediately apparent. Trieu Vu because of data errors in an important customer. Stripped of the title of sales champion. At the same time, all bonuses will be lost. Ly Vy consecutively ruined three project reports. Finally, proactively submit a resignation letter. A few months later. At the dinner party of a technology industry summit. Ly Vy as a normal employee of a small company. Hold a glass of wine and stand in a corner. See me from afar. I wear a neat business suit. Having fun conversations with leading figures in the industry. Next to him is Tran Lap Tan. Someone she had only heard of in legends before. On my face. There was confidence and light that she had never seen before. That moment. Ly Vy finally understood. There are people born to fly into the sky. Like a phoenix. Just a frog at the bottom of a well. I will never understand how high the sky is. Maybe feel that look. I slightly turned my head to look over. Calm eyes. No resentment. No pity either. It's like looking at a stranger you've never met. Then I turned away. Continue chatting with the people next to you. Continue talking about the future. About the project that will change the entire technology industry. About things much larger than a small office of the past. Because for me. The people who hurt me have stayed behind. There's a future. It's a place worth looking at. The launch meeting of the Phoenix Project was held in the panoramic meeting room on the top floor of Lap Tan Technology. Outside the ground-level glass window is the most brilliant skyline of the entire city. I stood in front of the giant smart screen. Behind is Tran Lap Tan and all directors of the company's key departments. This is the first time in my life I have stood in the center of such a stage. But inside, there was no tension at all.
