Chapter 14 — When I Was Forced to Quit My Job at the Age of 40, I Became the President of a Hundred Billion Company

The next morning. The company's internal system posted a new notice. 【Announcement of organizational structure adjustment】 【From today, the Research and Development Center operates independently, directly reporting to the Board of Directors.】 【To Vy is restored to all powers of Senior Research Director.】 【Deputy General Director of Operations Tien Dat Pham is no longer in charge of research and development.】 Just a few short lines. But it was enough to shock the whole company. People from the research department continuously came looking for me. People say:

“Sister To, I knew you wouldn't give up.”

He said:

“I told you, no one can replace you.”

I just laughed. Then send everyone back to work. Tieu Tran brought two cups of coffee.

“I heard that Tien Dat Pham didn't come to the company today?”

"Not interested."

I'm still looking at the computer screen.

“Where is the prepared dossier sent to the FDA?”

"Done."

“Over seven hundred pages.”

“It's all arranged according to the FDA's required form.”

“I'll give you a final check-up this afternoon.”

Tieu Tran just left. The internal phone on the desk rang. It's Luong Vu.

“Tian Dat Pham's lawyer just sent an official dispatch.”

“What content?”

“They said that her statement at the board meeting was slanderous.”

“Damaging the honor of the Tien family.”

“Request the company to make a public correction.”

“Otherwise, legal liability will be pursued.”

I laughed.

“Let him sue.”

“But…”

“Luong Vu.”

I interrupted.

“Everything I said in the meeting was recorded in the minutes.”

“I'm just saying.”

‘I have no evidence so I won't report to the police.'

“Is that also called slander?”

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

“…I understand.”

“I will talk to their lawyer again.”

Afternoon. A call is more important than calling in. It's Ha Van Xuyen. Deputy General Director of R&D of Thien Hop Pharmaceutical.

“Dr. To.”

“I heard that the situation in Hoa Thuy has changed?”

“Congratulations.”

News spreads really fast.

“Is there something wrong with Mr. Ha calling me?”

“About the previous invitation to cooperate.”

“I know you probably won't consider changing jobs right now.”

“But I have another suggestion.”

I leaned back in the chair.

“You say it.”

On the other end of the line. Ha Van Xuyen smiled softly.

"I think."

“Maybe we don't have to be a recruiting and being recruited relationship.”

“We can completely become partners.”

I interrupted him.

“That makes me think more.”

“No rush.”

Ha Van Xuyen laughed.

“Anytime you want to talk, just contact me.”

The call ended. I placed the phone face down on the table. Thien Hop's moves are very clever. No need to dig people. No need to force me to quit my job. Just use my status as a technical advisor to attach me to them first. The day came when I completely left Hoa Thuy. They will be the first to benefit. But for now... I'm in no hurry. The most important thing right now is processing FDA documents. Just need to get through this hurdle. The third generation Thanh Le will return to the approval trajectory. The IPO will also not be affected. But until then. My position at Hoa Thuy will completely change. No longer a "difficult to replace" person. But becoming an "untouchable" person. Two completely different concepts. People who are difficult to replace can still suffer calculate. But people can't touch it... Then no one dares to touch it. Return home at night. My daughter is sitting in the living room doing her homework. Saw me coming in. The child raised her head.

“Mom seems to be very happy today, right?”

I laughed. The girl nodded very firmly.

“It's like when you walk, the wind follows you.”

I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then put your hand on the child's head.

“Do your homework.”

The child bent down. But before continuing to write, he quietly said:

“Mom, try your best.”

I stood there stunned for a few seconds. No reply. Just quietly go into the kitchen. My mother had already stewed a pot of rib soup. The scent spread throughout the house. Forty years old. Raising two children alone. Once cornered. I thought I couldn't get up. But in the end, I still got through. So what's more difficult? Probably no more. The FDA's story was much more favorable than expected. Five days after the original dataset is submitted. FDA sent a formal written response. Full data. The content of the accusation is unfounded. The approval process continues to be implemented. The origin of the anonymous denunciation has not been disclosed. But in the hearts of Hoa Thuy people. Everyone has their own answer. About that time. Tien Dat Pham was unusually quiet. The number of days appearing at the company is becoming less and less. The name is to rest and recuperate. But outside rumors say. Every day he sat in private clubs drinking and playing cards. Everyone you meet curses. Cursed Chu Kien Quoc for being weak. Cursing To Vy for my tricks. I don't care what he says. What caught my attention was something else. Monday morning. My email received an interview invitation. The sender is an industry media site. Very eye-catching title:

“Investigating rumors of conflicts between key scientists and Hoa Thuy's board of directors before the IPO.”

I opened the letter to see. Language is very polite. But the amount of information inside made me frown. The article mentions: The conflict between me and Tien Dat Pham. Patent disputes. Complaint sent to FDA. There are even details... Only those who have sat in the boardroom will know. I took a screenshot. Send to Luong Vu. Ten minutes later. He called back.

“I just checked.”

"This media site last year accepted to do a promotional article for the medical industrial park invested by Tien Duc Minh."

I understood immediately. The Tien family has changed tactics. Can't beat me inside the company. Then defame me outside. Use public opinion to create pressure.
