Chapter 9 — The entire department's salary is 39,000 yuan, just me 5,800 yuan

He gritted his teeth and continued.

“If there is a good opportunity, let me introduce it to you guys.”

“Now you follow General Manager Tran.”

“Eat well and dress well, enjoy all the benefits.”

“Don't eat alone.”

He deliberately emphasized three words:

“According to General Director Tran.”

Ambiguous tone. A few suppressed laughter immediately rang out around. Ly Vy showed even more contempt on her face like:

“I knew it right away.”

In their eyes. Those words almost confirmed the speculation that I relied on men for advancement. There was still no expression on my face. I just picked up the napkin. Gently wipe the corners of your lips. Then look straight at Trieu Vu. Every word. So clear that everyone heard it.

“Trieu Vu.”

“I remember your contract worth millions of yuan last quarter.”

“I stayed up three nights to help you synthesize the entire customer profile.”

The smile on Trieu Vu's face immediately stiffened. I don't stop.

“All of your reports last month were completed by me.”

“Including three serious data errors.”

“I helped fix it.”

“If sending the original to the customer.”

“Do you know what the consequences will be?”

Ly Vy's face immediately turned pale. My eyes slowly scanned each person present there. People who pushed me to do things. People who used to treat me like a maid. People used to make fun of my low salary. Each person was passed by that gaze. They all unconsciously bowed their heads. No one dared to look directly at me. My eyes returned to Trieu Vu.

“I asked you a question.”

“I feel…”

“Who do I need to rely on to live well?”

Trieu Vu immediately sobered up more than halfway. He stood frozen in place. Mouth opened. The color of the face changed from red to white. From white to blue. But couldn't say a word. The whole restaurant fell into absolute silence. Only the sound of the night wind by the lake blew through the long tables. Makes a soft rustling sound. I slowly stood up. Place the napkin on the table.

“You guys just keep going.”

“I'm done eating.”

I turned around and left. Straight back. No hesitation. Leaving behind an entire silent restaurant. And a group of people sat on a fire. No one felt that dinner was delicious anymore. The dinner party ended in an atmosphere where no one was in a happy mood. Vuong Le's facial expression at this moment could no longer be described by the word "unsightly". It was the gray look of a person standing on the brink of collapse. The words I said before not only made Trieu Vu lose face after his drunken antics. But it also tore up all the hidden rules that had existed for three years in the department. Expose it all to the light. Turns out achievements they are proud of. The reports they considered a victory. There are traces of me on the back. They always think of themselves as the pillars supporting the whole roof. Only discovered today. I am the foundation. Someone who has never been noticed. But it is present everywhere. And now... That foundation is about to be stripped away. When returning to the resort's hotel lobby. In Vuong Le's heart, only panic and unwillingness remained. She can't just give up. It's impossible for me to leave as a winner. We can't let this become a stain that can never be erased in my career me. A crazy idea gradually formed in her mind. One final counterattack.

“Wait, let's go back to the room.”

“Go down to the small meeting room on the first floor.”

“Let's have a short meeting.”

Vuong Le looked at everyone and gave orders. The tone still carries the familiar imposition. Everyone is a little dissatisfied. But no one dared to object. I was about to head towards the elevator. Hearing that, I stopped walking. Then turn around. Follow the crowd to the meeting room. I also want to see. After all, what else is she planning to do? The lights in the meeting room are bright. After everyone sits down. Vuong Le stood in front. Just like countless times chairing meetings before. Just this time. Her aura has weakened a lot.

“Today is on the occasion of team building.”

“I want to talk to everyone a little bit about the family culture of our department.”

Vuong Le started her performance.

“We are more than just a team.”

“But also a family.”

“There will definitely be conflicts and misunderstandings in the family.”

“But as long as everyone agrees, there is no insurmountable difficulty.”

She spoke very emotionally. His eyes occasionally glanced towards me.

“I know there are some colleagues who still feel resentful in their hearts.”

“I feel like my efforts haven't been properly recognized.”

“If that's the case.”

“As the head of this family.”

“I want to apologize to everyone.”

“Because I was so busy with work, I forgot about the feelings of some members.”

She even bowed to everyone. That performance really touched some of the new employees. Ly Vy and Trieu Vu bowed their heads. Extremely complex expressions. Vuong Le's eyes locked on me.
