Chapter 5 — The Whole Company Knows

See if I like soft or hard. If I'm scared, he'll give me a plan. Give me a little compensation, cancel the agreement, turn a big matter into a small matter. If I wasn't afraid... He would change to another method. “President Tham.” I said, "I don't mean to make things difficult for anyone. But from my perspective, the truth is very simple. I am an employee who was legally laid off by the company. The company signed an agreement to limit competition with me and pay compensation. This agreement has been notarized and has legal effect." “If you feel it is unreasonable, you can resolve it by legal means.” “But before the verdict, the agreement remains in effect.” Tham Quoc Luong was silent. Chu Minh Vien said in a low voice from the side: "President Tham, if we sue... our chances of winning are not high. The conditions he just said are met. Unless it can be proven that he knew in advance and intentionally took advantage..." "He doesn't know." Ms. Truong suddenly spoke up, her voice trembling, "During the negotiation... he really didn't know. At that time, I thought he was coordinating a play..." Tham Quoc Luong closed his eyes. My temples twitched. “Old Zhou.” “Yes I am.” “If we accept this agreement, how much will the company have to pay each month?” "One hundred and fifty thousand compensation each month. Two years total three million six hundred thousand. If Mr. Co violates the terms restricting competition, he must compensate the company twenty million. On the contrary, if the company unilaterally stops paying, he must also compensate twenty million." Tham Quoc Luong took a deep breath. Stand up. "Tieu Co, I will think more. Someone will contact you in the next few days." "Okay." He walked to the door and stopped. Turn around. “How did you work at the company before?” "Three projects were implemented at the same time, customer satisfaction levels were all over ninety. There has never been an incident." “How much is the annual salary?” “Actually received more than three hundred thousand.” He nodded. "Unfortunate." The door closes. I stood in place, hearing footsteps gradually moving away from the hallway. What's the pity? It's a pity that a capable person like me was forced to leave the company by a "joke"? Or is it a pity that he signed that agreement? I opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of beer. Just started drinking at noon. Anyway… I'm unemployed. Legal unemployment. 【Chapter 5】 Tuesday. Lam Vien Chu found me. Not to come to my house, but to call. “Mr. Bac, are you at home?” "YES." “That… the company is all in chaos now, you know?” "Don't know." "Yesterday afternoon, Chairman Tham returned to the company and called the entire human resources and legal departments into a meeting. When Ms. Truong came out, her eyes were red. I heard that Director Chu even resigned on the spot and was detained by Chairman Tham." “What does it have to do with me?” "Mr. Bac, why do you say that? It's all because of your agreement!" “They told me to sign.” The other end of the line was silent for three seconds. "Okay. Legally, it's true that you don't have a problem. But... Mr. Bac, do you really not know that it's fake?" “Why didn't you say it directly then?” Silence again. "I don't dare. That afternoon, Trieu Nghien Kieu called me and said Ms. Tham specifically told me not to tell you. If I did, I would have to quit my job." "Oh. So are you still scared now?" “Now the whole company knows, there's no need to keep it a secret anymore.” Lam Vien Chu's voice was a bit bitter, "But Mr. Bac, I really tried to hint at you." "I know." “You don't hate me?” "Why hate you? You're not the one who made the decision." He breathed a sigh of relief. “So… what are you going to do next?” "Wait." “Wait what?” “Wait for them to contact me.” “Are you really going to accept that three million six hundred thousand?” “If it's signed, it's signed.” “…Mr. Bac, normally you look honest, but at an important moment you are very…” “Very what?” “Very principled.” "Thank." I hung up. Continue viewing recruitment applications. The scope of competition restriction is the Internet advertising industry. In other words, within two years I cannot work for a company in the same industry. But other industries do. Furthermore, each month you also receive one hundred fifty thousand for free. Honestly, it's better than going to work. Phone th

kind of vibrate. A message. Note name: Unknown. Content: "Hello Mr. Co Bac, I am Vuong Ly, human resources director of Thinh Khai Media. Our Chairman Tham introduced you and wanted to talk to you a bit. Is it convenient to make friends via chat application?" Thinh Khai Media. Competitor of Tham Thi Group. Among the top three companies in the industry. I looked at that message for five seconds. The message came at just the right time. Friday was cut, Saturday was notarized, Monday the Tham family came to the door, Tuesday the competitor came to dig people. How is this news spread out? I don't answer. Open the browser and search for "Thinh Khai Media". General Director: Tien Minh Hien. A longtime rival of Tham Quoc Luong. The two companies have been competing for customers for seven or eight years.
