I was just about to call a car to the sales office when Manh Dao's phone rang. Her voice was urgent to the point of being harsh. “Duong Hoa, they have come to your company.” "Duong Khai brought three people with him. At the reception desk, he said he stole the family's relief money." “Someone in your company group has already asked.” I raised my head to look at the blinding sun on the side of the road. The next second, the company administration sent me a video. In the video, Duong Khai stood in the reception hall and loudly called my name. Next to him, my father bowed his head and stood there. My mother's eyes were red and she was clutching a pre-written debt note in her hand. 06 That debt paper made me stand still in the sunlight. Video shot not far away. The words on the paper are very clear. Eight hundred thousand yuan in debt. Borrower Duong Hoa. I watched it three times to confirm I wasn't mistaken. They didn't just come to cause chaos. They have already written the script. I sent a message back to the administration. “Don't let them enter the work area, tell the receptionist to videotape the entire process, I will handle it immediately.” Administration responded immediately. "The leaders told security to stop it, but they said your parents were coming and the company couldn't help but care." I asked: "Do they move their hands and feet?" “Not for now, just screaming.” I didn't immediately return to the company. What Duong Khai wanted most was to force me to go to a crowded place, to embarrass me in front of my colleagues, and to make me accept the debt they made up in order to settle. I called my immediate superior first. Her side was very noisy, she must have been near the scene. “Duong Hoa, don't panic, I won't let them go upstairs.” I said: "Thank you, please help me with three things." “You say it.” “First, ask the company security to continue filming, don't struggle with them.” “Second, ask the company's administrator to report to the police, saying someone is disrupting office order.” “Third, don't let any colleagues talk to them for you.” The superior was silent for a second. “Are they really your parents?” I looked at the traffic. "Yes." “But the debt they said is not true.” She didn't ask anymore, just said: "I understand." After hanging up the phone, I took the car to the sales office. Wei Thanh waited for me at the door, his face even more unsightly than last night. I don't say hello socially. “Is Tan Phuong here today?” He lowered his voice. “She's not at our project, she's at the cooperative services company.” I said: "I want your company to give you a written explanation about last night when you admitted to leaking building information." Wei Cheng's lips moved. “Miss Duong, this must be done according to procedure.” I showed him the police station's receipt on my phone. “Then let your person in charge come out and do the process.” Ten minutes later, the project manager invited me into the meeting room. He was older than Wei Cheng, he opened his mouth and apologized. "Miss Duong, we will definitely seriously investigate this internally." I interrupted him. “I don't need to apologize verbally.” “I need three things.” “First, certificate of camera retention Duong Khai and that middle-aged woman went to the sales room.” “Second, the document explains that the receiving staff leaked the information.” "Third, the document checks whether Tan Phuong of the cooperative service company has ever had contact with my home purchase application." The project manager frowned. “The third item takes time.” I said: “Maybe.” “But if you don't submit the first two items today, I will directly complain to the construction agency, then submit both the management board's admission note and the leak record in the sales department to the police.” The meeting room quieted down. Wei Thanh bowed his head, not daring to look at me. Finally the project manager gave in. “I will let the judiciary prepare an explanation.” While waiting for the documents, I received a phone call from the police station. The police said they came to my company. At first Duong Khai argued, but when he heard the police report, he immediately changed his words, saying it was just a family dispute. I asked: “What about my parents?” The police stopped. "Her mother was very emotional, her father didn't say anything from beginning to end." "They held a debt note, saying she owed the house eight hundred thousand, but the debt note did not have her signature." I laughed coldly. Even forging a signature is not enough. Or they don't dare. The police asked again: “Ba

Is it convenient for you to come over now?” I said: "I will come over, but I ask to talk at the police station, not at the company gate." The other party agrees. At two o'clock in the afternoon, I got the explanation stamped by the sales department and went straight to the police station near the company. At the door of the mediation room, the first person I saw was not Duong Khai. It's my mother. She sat on the bench, her eyes swollen. Seeing me, he immediately stood up. “Duong Hoa, why are you so cruel?” I don't stop. Duong Khai came from the side, pointed at my nose and scolded me. “Do you still dare to come?” The police immediately stopped him. I looked at him. “Why didn't I dare come?” Duong Khai gritted his teeth. “You have two houses, but you let your family live in poverty, do you still have a conscience?” I said: "So that means you admit you searched my real estate." His expression changed. Elder Duong The Xuong came out of the mediation room, holding that debt paper in his hand.
