Chapter 11 — The Scariest Betrayer Is The One You Trusted

Lam Hieu Hieu opened her mouth.

“I just thought... at best you'd just quit your job.”

I laughed.

“So in your eyes…”

“Ruining someone's career...”

“It's just a small thing.”

She bowed her head, cried and said:

“I'm just... too scared.”

“Only one slot has been officially contracted.”

“Hua Duyet is performing better and better.”

“I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it.”

“Chu Thien said... actually, I don't like you.”

“I was planning to give up on you a long time ago.”

“She also said…”

“If you leave the company, the Planning Department will lack someone in charge of the project.”

“Then you will have a chance.”

I looked at her.

“So…”

“You chose to believe Chu Thien.”

“And you don't believe me?”

Lam Hieu Hieu cried and shook her head.

“I don't know…”

“I really don't know.”

I interrupted her.

“You know I helped you before.”

“You also know that I have never harmed you.”

“Just...”

“She wanted that position even more.”

“You always thought that…”

“Just cry for a few hours.”

“Just tell me how pitiful I am.”

“Then all the bad things I do will become inevitable.”

Lam Hieu Hieu's whole body stiffened. Her mother standing next to her also burst into tears.

“Director Truong…”

“My daughter has been aggressive since she was little.”

“He's not a bad kid.”

“It just temporarily lost its way.”

“You are so generous…”

“Please give it another chance.”

I turned to look at her.

“What your daughter wants today…”

“Not a chance.”

“It's about wanting me to bear the consequences of her illegal actions.”

Mrs. Lam's face immediately changed.

“How can this girl be so heartless?”

“Nothing will happen to you anyway!”

That very sentence... Made my heart completely cold. I was almost ruined. Therefore, it is considered that there has never been any harm. The knife hasn't stabbed me to death yet. So I still have to forgive the person holding the knife. I slowly stood up.

“I will not sign the petition.”

Lam Hieu Hieu immediately raised his head.

“Truong Nghien!”

She doesn't even bother calling me sister anymore.

“Do you really want to see me ruined?”

I calmly looked at her.

“Lin Xiaoxiao.”

“You will not die.”

“You're just being responsible…”

“For what I did.”

The pleading in her eyes gradually turned into resentment.

“You're just jealous because I'm young!”

“You're afraid I'll be better than you in the future!”

“That's why you want to destroy me!”

Suddenly... I felt extremely tired. There are people... They will never know how to look back at themselves. The only thing they do... Is to find a pitiful reason for their evil. I turned around and walked out. Behind him, Lam Hieu Hieu's hoarse screams still sounded.

“Truong Nghien!”

“Then you will regret it!”

“Someone like you…”

“This whole life deserves to be abandoned by men!”

My steps stopped for exactly a second. I continue to move forward. When I returned home... It was almost midnight. After showering, I turned on my phone. That's when I discovered that the company's chat group had exploded. General Director Tran has just posted an official announcement. The notice clearly states: Director Truong Nghien has never disclosed any bidding information. The entire content of the accusation is intentional slander. The company has reported to the police and will reserve all rights to pursue legal liability against those involved mandarin. Below... Many people took turns apologizing to me. There are also many people... Just read quietly without saying anything. I looked at the screen for a while. Then place the phone face down on the table. My stomach started to hurt again. I poured myself a cup of hot water. Just took a sip... Hua Duyet sent a message. Director Truong, have you looked at the local forum? Someone posted today's entire story online. I immediately clicked on the link. The headline caught the eye immediately.

"Female director forced interns to go crazy? The truth behind workplace bullying."

That post is clearly someone intentionally trying to lead public opinion. The entire content avoids key points. They just said that Lam Hieu Hieu is a girl from an ordinary family, just graduated and was oppressed by her superiors for a long time. They said I made her stay up all night to fix the plan. Steal her ideas. They also used the matter of official transfer as intimidation. As for her stealing documents, falsifying chat history, colluding with rival companies... It's all summed up in one sentence:

"Because I lost my temper, I made a false accusation."
