Chapter 2 — The Whole Company Knows

"Nothing." She raised her head, still smiling, "I said the company is very sincere and will listen to you." I nodded. When I went out, Ms. Truong said behind my back: "Tieu Co, great acting." “What?” "Nothing, nothing. Go to work." I returned to my desk full of doubts. Lam Vien Chu was not there. His computer screen was still on, the chat box wasn't closed. I glanced over. "He talked to the staff for nearly an hour. Performance bonuses, vacation days conversion, and non-compete agreements were all discussed. Ms. Truong said he also imposed a twenty million violation fine." “Ha ha ha ha ha, is he serious?” “Excellent acting, amazing!” "Miss Tham's plan is also unreasonable. Now it's good, even the non-compete agreement has appeared." "Anyway, it's fake. If you want to sign it, just sign it. Just follow him." "I'm just afraid that if he finds out the truth later, he'll lose face." “That's also Ms. Tham's story.” I stared at the screen for three seconds. Fake? What do you mean? What is fake? Is the story of staff reduction fake? My hand moved towards the mouse, intending to pull it up to view the chat history. “Mr. Bac!” Lam Vien Chu returned, holding two cups of coffee in his hands. I immediately retracted my hand. “I invite you to coffee.” He handed the cup to me, his eyes like a golden retriever that had just done something bad, "Iced Americano, the kind you like." "YES." I received my coffee and returned to my seat. Iced Americano is very bitter. I took a sip and said nothing. Fake. Huh. I don't know what's fake. But I know one thing. Black and white paper, seal and signature, legal effect. Those things are real. 【Chapter 2】 Saturday. Logically speaking, I don't need the company anymore. But the handover list is not yet complete, documents of the three projects also need to be organized and archived. I have a bad habit, I have to do everything completely. I can't do the elephant head and mouse tail thing. When I arrived at the company at nine o'clock, there were not many people in the work area. It's a weekend, very normal. But the guard's eyes looking at me were not normal. He stopped me: "Brother Co, are you... still coming today?" "Hand over." “Ah… ah.” He hesitated, "Brother Co, do you... don't know..." His phone rang. After answering the phone, his face changed. "Okay, okay, okay. I know, don't say, don't say." Hanging up the phone, he smiled wryly at me: "Mr. Co, just keep working, I won't bother you." Okay. The whole world wants to talk back to me. I'm used to it. Arriving at my desk, I spent two hours arranging all documents, email exchanges and customer contacts of three projects into folders, arranged in chronological order. I sent it to the recipient's email. Dong sent to Ms. Truong. Then open the email. Sure enough, Ms. Truong sent the agreement. Agreement to limit competition. I opened it and examined each clause. Okay. Scope of competition restriction: Internet advertising industry. Time limit for competition: Two years. Compensation: One hundred and fifty thousand yuan per month. Violation fine: Twenty million yuan. Signing party... Representative of Party A, legal representative of the company: Tham Quoc Luong. Signed. Company stamped. I read it through, the terms are exactly the same as what I said. Don't edit a single word. Definitely. Too decisive. So decisive that it's a bit unusual. But... I think, maybe because they feel guilty. Anyway, my performance was not a problem, but I was forced to quit my job. They have an uneasy conscience, and it is reasonable to be more generous in compensation. I printed two copies and signed them. Take photos again. Then do something that I usually do. I opened my phone and searched for a notary office nearby. Saturday morning still working. Good. Bring two original agreements, identification and a copy of the labor contract... Go out. Procedures at the notary office are not complicated. Half an hour and it's done. The moment I received the notarization, I breathed a sigh of relief. Rest assured. With notarization, even if the company changes its mind later, you don't have to be afraid. I put away the notarized papers and then returned to the company. While passing by the reception desk, I met someone. Trieu N

hate Kieu. He leaned against the reception desk, crossed his legs, and was talking to Tieu Chu. Seeing me, his expression was very interesting. First is shock. Then the corners of his mouth curled up. The kind of laughter that stands and watches the excitement. “Mr. Bac, do you still come to work overtime on weekends?” "Hand over." “Oh, it's been hard, it's been hard.” He raised his coffee cup and took a sip, "That's right, have all your things moved yet? Do you need help?" His relaxed tone made me frown slightly. I'm not close to this person. Even though it's the same department, he's the deputy manager and I'm the project manager, so normally there's not much contact. The only rumor I know is that he used to date Tham Niem Duong. Have broken up. The specific cause is unknown. "No need." I walked past him. “Mr. Bac.” He called me from behind. I stopped.
