Chapter 2 — Who Divides Money, He Negotiates

“In this signing ceremony, I will represent the group as the main negotiator.” I heard someone in the backseat take a sharp breath. Tieu Dien suddenly stood up. "What is it based on?" Her voice was not loud but enough for the nearby rows of seats to hear. All the people in front turned around. The host's smile stiffened on his face. Han Trieu looked at us. "Does this colleague have an opinion?" Tieu Dien gritted his teeth. "This project was negotiated by Director Khuong from beginning to end." Han Trieu held the microphone and laughed. "The project belongs to the corporation." "The corporation arranged who to be the main negotiator, it was not the turn of an ordinary employee to question." Tieu Dien was about to continue. I held her wrist. "Sit down." Tears filled her eyes. "Director Khuong." I said: "Sit down." She sat back, her shoulders still shaking. Han Trieu did not miss this opportunity. He stood on the stage, looking down from above. "Khuong Tu, the person you lead has great emotions." "It seems that the previous management method really had problems." The whole hall was silent. Luc Minh Vien frowned and looked at me. It's like waiting for me to bow. I stood up. The chair legs scraped across the floor, the sound was very soft. Everyone's eyes turned to it. I looked at Han Trieu. "Are you finished?" Han Trieu froze. "What?" "After I'm done talking, I'll go." I picked up my bag. "May the signing ceremony go smoothly tomorrow." Luc Minh Vien finally spoke. "Khuong Tu." His voice lowered. "Today is the group's recognition conference, don't get angry." I turned to look at him. "General Manager Luc, I'm not causing trouble." "The senior management team doesn't include me." "List of people." The bonus doesn't include me." "The main negotiation list also doesn't include me." "According to the process, I really shouldn't be sitting here." Luc Minh Vien's face changed. I continued: "I hope everyone has fun receiving their rewards." After saying that, I went out. This time no one stopped me. When passing the first row, Han Trieu lowered his voice. "Khuong Tu, don't pretend to be noble." "Now you turn around and admit your mistake, the advisor position can still be retained for you." I stopped. Looked at him. "Keep it for someone who needs it." I pushed open the conference room door. The hallway outside was deserted and cold. I had just walked more than ten steps when the phone rang. The caller is Nghiem Chinh Thanh. CEO of Bach Xuyen Capital. I answered the phone. The other end got straight to the point. "Director Khuong, has tomorrow's signing schedule changed?" I looked at the city outside the glass wall. "General Director Nghiem, there has been an adjustment within Dinh Thinh." Nghiem Chinh Thanh was silent for two seconds. "Adjusted to the point of no longer having you?" I did not answer. His voice lowered. "So we won't sign the contract for now."03I didn't immediately return to the conference room. Nghiem Chinh Thanh's call is still in my ears. His voice was very calm. "Director Khuong, I did not sign the contract with Dinh Thinh because of sentiment." "I cooperate with someone who can implement the project." At the end of the hallway there is a window. Outside is the square under the corporation building. The flower baskets are still placed there, the red silk ribbons are blown by the wind. I said: "General Director Nghiem, the subject of this project is Dinh Thinh." "The subject is Dinh Thinh, that's right." "But in the past nineteen months, the only person who can answer my questions is you." "Now that the contract is about to be signed, someone else will take the credit, I have no interest in collaborating with them to act." I took the phone and said nothing. Nghiem Chinh Thanh continued: "Before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I want to see you appear at the signing location." "Otherwise, Bach Xuyen legal system will not approve the contract." The call ended. The screen goes dark. I stood still for half a minute. Then turn around and leave

to the human resources department. Human resources manager Phuong Vien saw me and immediately stood up from his chair. "Director Khuong." After calling, she changed her words again. "Manager... manager Khuong." I put my bag on the table. "Go through the resignation procedures." Phuong Vien's face turned white. "Do you want to quit your job?" "I do not accept position adjustment." "I also do not accept being excluded from the bonus." "The project was taken over by someone else, I have no opinion." "Now do the procedure." continued." Phuong Vien quickly went to close the door. "Wait a moment." "Deputy General Han just told me that your documents are not to be touched for the time being." I looked at her. "What rules?" She opened her mouth. But can't say. I took out my phone, opened the recording interface and placed the screen face up on the table. "Say that again." Phuong Vien stared at the screen, pursed her lips. A few seconds later, she took out the resignation letter from the drawer. "Director Khuong, I only work at the request of my superiors." I picked up the pen. "So I'm only looking for the person above." The form was very short. Full name. Departments. Position. Reason for quitting job. I wrote four words in the last box. The company breached the contract. Seeing those four words, Phuong Vien's hand trembled. "Director Khuong, if written like that, the application may not be approved."
