Chapter 11 — The whole company flew to France, but I alone did not have a plane ticket

Chairman Co's fingers trembled slightly. He stared at the documents. Lips also began to tremble. Apparent. He never thought I still kept such a big card. I continued talking. The tone was terrifyingly calm. But every sentence and every word is like a sharp blade.

“Chairman Co.”

“What you paid for that year…”

“Just my job position.”

“And my working hours.”

“You can't buy my brain.”

“You can't buy things born from that brain either.”

I pushed the last document towards him. It is a completely new cooperation agreement.

“You have two options.”

“I give you the choice.”

“First choice.”

“We continue to cooperate in a civilized manner.”

“I won't just be a shareholder.”

“Which will officially become a technology partner.”

“Join the board of directors.”

“Develop further with the company.”

“Your wealth will only increase, not decrease.”

“Second choice.”

"Let's melt together."

“You hold a pile of source code that less than 30% actually belongs to the company.”

“Then continue to go to the market to find people.”

“Invest another few tens of billions of yuan.”

“Rebuild the entire system from scratch.”

I slowly stood up. Looking down at him from above.

“Chairman Co.”

“You are a smart man.”

“I believe…”

“This multiple-choice math problem is not difficult to do.”

He was still sitting in that large chair. But this time. The back seems to have completely collapsed. The body sinks deep into the chair. Like a failed king sitting on his throne. He looked at me. And for the first time... I saw real fear in his eyes. No worries. Not angry. It's a fear that comes from the bottom of my heart. By the end. He understood something. From the moment I was left behind by the whole company at the airport that day... He lost. Losing is not because the system crashes. Not because of the loss of 4.9 billion yuan. It's not because of Chu Nghi. But because he single-handedly pushed the most wrong person away from him. And when I realized that... It was too late. He lost. Thoroughly. I get more shares. Became the company's second largest shareholder. At the same time, as a technology partner, officially joined the Board of Directors. From then on. Chairman Gu completely became a representative at the strategic and capitalist level. He no longer has the right to intervene in any specific technical or personnel decisions of the company. The technical team was built by myself. Take Tham Nguyet and three young group leaders as the nucleus. Has become the most powerful machine. Most creative. And has the most fearsome fighting power in the entire company. Within a year. We continuously launch many breakthrough products. The company's market value skyrocketed. In just one short year... Has doubled. As for Chu Nghi. Later, I heard Tham Nguyet mention it a few times. After being fired. He relied on his resume as a Technical Director to apply for many companies. But every time, they were eliminated right at the background investigation stage. The comment I left in the Hoang Sunset system. It has become an indelible stain on his career. Heard later. Because life is getting better distressed. Can't find a job forever. His spirit also gradually appeared to have problems. The whole person became crazy and crazy. As for that. I don't have any emotions. Because that was the outcome he chose. After taking power. The first thing I did was to completely reform the company's overtime and welfare regime. I abolish all forms of meaningless competition. Eliminate all formal and performance reporting processes. At the same time, mandatory paid leave is implemented. Same strict overtime compensation mechanism. I tell everyone:

“I need effective colleagues.”

“There is creativity.”

“There is no need for a bunch of actors to sit in the office wasting their time and lives.”

I am no longer the Hua An Nhien of the past. The girl sat quietly in the corner of the office. So faint that no one bothers to notice. Everyone calls me General Hua. He is the person that anyone must look up to before making technical decisions. Must be convinced. One year later. After finishing a meeting of the Board of Directors. I submitted my leave application. Travel around the world. Chairman Co picked up the application to read. There was no longer any objection in his eyes. He just quietly held his pen. Just like a normal subordinate. Definitely sign it. I sat alone in the first class cabin of the flight to Paris. Outside the window. The deep blue sky stretches endlessly. The sea of white clouds is as spongy as giant cotton candy. The plane ticket is in my hand. The destination is no longer a task arranged by others. Where do I want to go? Then I will go there. When the plane enters the stratosphere. I took the phone out of my pocket. Quietly turn on the device. Then calmly remove all work-related software. One application at a time. Disappears from the screen. Not because of separation. Not for revenge. Not because of protest. It's because of me. For my life. Because of the freedom I regained with my own hands. I looked up at the sea of clouds outside the window. The corners of the lips curled slightly. Because I know. From this moment... The old life has truly ended. And my new life... It's just begun.
