Chapter 6 — When I Stop Being Invisible

"The process logic of the eight departments is completely inconsistent with the existing settings in the system. The previous process that Ms. To built was based on the actual situation of each department and adjusted little by little, while Linh Hang's system is a shared form, not customizable according to needs."

Manager Trieu complained in the group: "The new system imports an event calendar that requires you to fill in eighteen data fields. Previously, To Van's chart only needed to fill in six fields. Is this an optimization or is it adding more trouble?" The technical department went on strike: "We don't use this trash system." Within a month, Linh Hang's system usage rate decreased from 100% to 23%. Ha Kien Quoc called Chu Han into the office. I don't know the content of that conversation, but the next day, Tran Loi told Vu Tieu Man -

"Deputy General Zhou was asked to write a written explanation, explaining why the system spent three million to bring back but no one used it."

When Vu Tieu Man passed this news to me, she added another sentence: "Sister To, why do you judge so well?"

“Because I understand Hang Vien.”

No, to be more precise, it's because I am the operating system of Hang Vien. You can fire me, but you can't erase what I built. And when he tried to replace it, he realized: Replacing a person's job is not difficult, what is difficult is replacing that person's twelve years of understanding. After Linh Hang's system was abandoned, our plan became Hang Vien's only choice. Vu Tieu Man began to stay directly at the scene to monitor the progress of the deployment. Every week, she sends me detailed feedback reports, and I provide remote guidance behind the scenes. Everything is on track. Until the sixth week, Vu Tieu Man sent me a voice message. Her voice was clearly strained.

“Sister To, Chu Han has found out.”

“Find out what?”

"He knows that you are in Thuy Hoa. Today he pointed straight at Tran Loi and said: 'The plan you are using was written by To Van. Thuy Hoa's operating partner - To Van - is the administrative specialist who was fired by Hang Vien. The company spent 800,000 to buy a plan from a former employee, is that a waste? Is this an insider?'"

I leaned back in the chair. Finally arrived.

“How did Boss Ha react?”

"Boss Ha was not present. But Chu Han slammed the table and announced that he wanted to end cooperation with Thuy Hoa."

“Does he have the right to decide that?”

“He is the deputy general director.”

I thought for a moment.

"Don't pay attention to him. How's the progress?"

"About sixty percent. Four departments have completed process restructuring, the effect is very clear. Tran Loi said administrative efficiency increased by about 40%."

"Then continue to push forward. If Zhou Han wants to stop the project, he must have He Kien Quoc's signature. He Kien Quoc will not stop a project that is bringing results."

“Sister To, if…”

“There are no ifs.”

I hung up. Then send a message to Ha Kien Quoc. This is the first time I proactively contacted him since leaving Hang Vien.

"Boss Ha, Thuy Hoa's operating plan is truly my responsibility. You can choose to end the cooperation, or you can continue." wait for results. But if the boss chooses to stop, Hang Vien's problem will not go away on its own. This is clearer in the boss's heart than anyone else."

Ten minutes later, he answered.

“To Van, I never intended to end cooperation.”

Five minutes later, another news.

“The plan you did was very good. I regret it.”

I don't answer. The two words "regret". It took twelve years… to change it back. The next day, He Kien Quoc convened a meeting of the entire board of directors. Vu Tieu Man did not attend, but Tran Loi later sent back the recording. Ha Kien Quoc's voice is calm:

“Regarding the project with Thuy Hoa, I clearly state three points. First, the project continues. Second, this plan was indeed made by To Van. To Van has worked for twelve years at the company, her plans certainly understand Hang Vien better than any outside team. This is not a risk, but an advantage.”

He stopped for a few seconds.

“Third… the initial decision to fire To Van was a mistake.”

The entire meeting room fell silent for a long time. Tran Loi later recounted that during the meeting, Chu Han did not say a word. But his face... was as white as paper.
