Chapter 11 — When I Stop Being Invisible

"Miss To, after the meeting, boss Ha kept Chu Han and Phuong Ngan. When Chu Han walked out, his face was gray. Phuong Ngan took another elevator, probably didn't dare to go with him."

“What about the official conclusion?”

"Not yet. But the legal department is already involved."

I hung up. Outside the window, the sunset light falls, soft and warm. Not a feeling of gloating. Nor the joy of revenge. Everything finally returns to its rightful place. The next morning, Tham Dich walked into my office.

“Hang Vien is calling.”

“What did they say?”

"Ha Kien Quoc personally called. He said to cancel the suspension of the evaluation and the project to continue. In addition, he asked one more question."

"He asked if she wanted to return to Hang Vien. Not the old position, but Deputy General Director."

I smiled.

“How do you answer?”

“I said he should ask you directly about this.”

“So my answer is — no.”

Tham Dich nodded.

“I guess so.”

On the third day Chu Han was suspended for investigation, Phuong Ngan proactively resigned. There was no handover at all. The day he left, he formatted the entire computer. When receiving notice to clean up Phuong Ngan's place, Tran Loi discovered that there were no documents left.

"Sister To, Phuong Ngan erased all the documents. The new operating system he tried to create in Hang Vien was completely lost."

"There was no need for it. The process he drew up has never been used by anyone."

"But what happens to the operations department now? Chu Han was suspended, Phuong Ngan left, the operations department is now left with no one in charge."

“You take care of it.”

"Me? Sister To, I can't do it—"

"You can do it. You've been working at Hang Vien for four years. During the chaotic period after my sister left, even though it was chaotic, you carried it alone for two months. You endured it."

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds.

"Miss To, boss Ha told me to temporarily manage the operations room. But I'm afraid if Chu Han comes back—"

“He can't come back.”

“How do you know?”

"Because once this matter of accepting bribes is confirmed, it will not just be a matter of suspension, but will be turned over to the authorities. Co Vien Chu is not like Ha Kien Quoc, he will not be soft-hearted."

Sure enough, a week later, Hang Vien Group officially issued an internal notice - Deputy General Director Chu Han, due to serious violations of the company's management regulations, had his labor contract terminated along with the person he introduced, Phuong Ngan. The issue showing signs of benefit transfer has been transferred to the legal department and outside lawyers to handle. At the same time, Cam Thanh Trading was blacklisted as a supplier by Hang Vien, and related contracts were terminated. IT equipment procurement contracts enter the audit process. As the news spread, Hang Vien's internal reaction was not as explosive as I thought. Because everyone has known for a long time. It's just that no one dares to say it. Just like everyone knew that To Van was responsible for the work of eight departments, but no one said a word. It's not that I don't know. But I don't dare. The cheapest thing in this world is the saying "I saw something wrong a long time ago". On the second day after Zhou Han was dealt with, I received an unexpected text message. From Ha Kien Quoc. Not WeChat, but a letter official. Handwritten and sent to Thuy Hoa's reception desk. The letter is very short.

"To Van: What Hang Vien owes you can't be repaid with just an apology. For the past twelve years, you've been silently supporting this company, yet I have absolutely no idea what you're doing. This is my biggest failure as a manager. In Chu Han's matter, you helped a great deal, but I know you didn't do it to get revenge on him. You did it because you wanted to be good for Hang Vien. In the future, no matter where you are, Hang Vien's door will always be open to welcome you.

I folded the letter and put it in a drawer. Tham Dich knocked on the door and entered.

“To Van, we have a new customer.”

“Which company?”

"Thien Vu Media. Just completed capital round B, staff expanded from fifty to two hundred people, operating system completely unable to keep up. The CEO personally pointed out 'wanting to find the group that created the plan for Hang Vien'."

“How do they know about us?”

"Hang Vien's Ms. Trieu introduced it to the industry group. Her original words were 'Thuy Hoa has someone who can help a company's operating efficiency increase by 40%'."

Head of Department Trieu.
