“This is a 1.6 billion contract, also the largest single project of Dinh Thinh in the past 5 years.” The applause rang out again. Luc Minh Vien smiled very satisfied. He nodded to Han Trieu. Han Trieu continued to say: "In this signing ceremony, I will represent the group as the main negotiator." I heard someone in the backseat take a deep breath. Tieu Dien suddenly stood up. "Based on what?" Her voice was not loud, but enough for the nearby rows of seats to hear. The people sitting in front simultaneously turned their heads. The host's smile stiffened on his face. Han Trieu looked at us. "This colleague, do you have any opinions?" Tieu Dien gritted his teeth. "This project has always been negotiated by Khuong." Han Trieu held the microphone and burst out laughing. "The project belongs to the corporation." "The corporation arranges who will be the main negotiator, it is not the turn of ordinary employees to question." Tieu Dien was about to continue. I held her wrist. "Sit down." Tears were welling up in the corners of her eyes. "General Khuong." I said: "Sit down." She sat down, her shoulders still shaking. Han Trieu did not miss this opportunity. He stood on the podium, looking like a superior. "Khuong Tu, the people you lead are having very negative emotions." "It seems that the previous management method really had problems." The whole hall was silent. Luc Minh Vien frowned and looked at me. It's like waiting for me to bow. I stood up. The chair legs rub against the ground, making a very soft sound. Everyone's eyes were focused on this direction. I looked at Han Trieu. "Are you finished?" Han Trieu froze. "What?" "After I'm done talking, I'll leave." I picked up my bag. "Good luck with the signing tomorrow." Luc Minh Vien finally spoke. "Khuong Tu." His voice was low. "Today is the group's commendation conference, don't get angry." I turned my head to look at him. "General Luc, I don't get angry." "I don't have a group of leaders." "I don't have my name on the bonus list." "I don't have me on the list of main negotiators." "From the process, I really shouldn't be sitting here." Luc Minh Vien's face changed. I continued: "I hope you enjoy receiving your bonuses." Having finished speaking, I walked out. This time, no one stopped me. When passing by the first row of seats, Han Trieu lowered his voice. "Khuong Tu, stop pretending to be noble." "Now you turn around and admit your mistake, the advisor position is still reserved for you." I stopped walking. Glanced at him. "Keep it for those who need it." I pushed the hall door open. The hallway outside was quiet and cold. I had just walked out a dozen steps when the phone rang. The screen displays Nghiem Chinh Thanh. Executive director of the board of directors of Bach Xuyen Tu Capital. I picked up the phone. The other end of the line went straight to the point. "Mr. Khuong, has the signing program tomorrow changed?" I looked out at the city through the glass wall in the hallway. "Mr. Nghiem, there are internal adjustments in Dinh Thinh." Nghiem Chinh Thanh was silent for two seconds. "Adjusted to the point of not having you?" I did not answer. His voice lowered. “So the contract is temporarily no longer signed.”03I didn't immediately return to the hall. Nghiem Chinh Thanh's phone was still pressed against his ear. His voice was very calm. "General Khuong, I did not sign a contract with Dinh Thinh because of my face." "I went with someone who has the ability to implement a real project." At the end of the hallway there is a window. Outside is the square below the corporation floor. The flower baskets were still placed there, the red silk ribbons were swaying in the wind. I said: "Sir, the subject of this project is Dinh Thinh." "It's not wrong that the subject is Dinh Thinh." "But for the past nineteen months, the only person who can answer my questions is you." "Now it's almost time to sign again."

change someone else to compete for credit, I have no interest in playing tricks with them." I held the phone tightly, saying nothing. Nghiem Chinh Thanh continued to say: "Before 9 a.m. tomorrow, I want to see you appear at the signing hall." "Otherwise, Bach Xuyen's legal department will not approve the contract." The call disconnected. The screen went black. I froze for half a minute. Then turned around and went to the human resources department. Human resources director Phuong Vien. Seeing me, she immediately stood up from her chair. "General Khuong." After she finished calling, she changed her words again. "Khuong... Director Khuong." I put my bag on the table. "Go through the resignation procedures." Phuong Vien's face turned pale. "Do you want to quit your job?" "I do not accept the notice of position adjustment." "I also do not accept being removed from the bonus list." "The project was taken over by someone else, I have no opinion." "Now, go through the procedures." Go." Phuong Vien quickly ran to close the door. "Boss, wait a moment." "General Han just instructed, the boss's files are not to be touched for the time being." I looked at her. "What rules?" She opened her mouth. Speechless. I took out my phone, opened the recording interface, tilted the screen and placed it on the table. "Say it again." Phuong Vien stared at the screen, pursed her lips.
