Episode 9 - The one who broke down instead.
"Pete is getting thrown guilty."
Thir's words disrupted Lyn in the middle of the warehouse.
"What?"
"Executives are closing matters."
Thir grabbed his hand tighter than ever.
"Pete now holds the log system. If caught... he will become a goat immediately."
Lin quickly flicked his hand off.
"How can you convince me you didn't do it?"
His voice rang the warehouse.
This time, Thir didn't answer immediately.
The other side just looked at him still.
That pair of eyes looked more tired than ever.
"If I Really Want to Destroy Pete"
The falsetto sounded slowly.
"I don't need to warn you."
Linning went immediately.
Because it's true
But it wasn't time for him to think about anything. The alarm from the phone rang again.
Ting
Pete:
"Chief, I've been called to the conference room."
"I think it's bad."
Lin's heart dropped.
"Where's Pete?"
"Administration Building"
Thir answered immediately like he already knew.
Lin, look up.
"How do you know that?"
The atmosphere briefly quieted.
Before Thir chuckles tired.
"Because I was called the same way."
-
Fifth floor meeting room
The atmosphere was uncomfortable from the moment Lyn opened the door.
Pete was sitting across the conference table, visibly pale in his face.
Beside are several executives.
Including the deputy factory manager.
The same person that Thir used to talk about.
"Oh, Chief Lin."
The middle-aged man immediately smiled.
"Come on, fit."
Lin is clenched.
His eyes glanced to see the file in front of him.
LOG SYSTEM REPORT
"Now we have a problem, sir."
The deputy manager continued in a calm tone.
"There was unauthorized entry."
Pete immediately got up.
"I didn't fix the production!"
"But the user used is your account."
"I just copied the log out."
"Without permission."
The other person's tone immediately cooled.
Pete's getting pale.
Lin looked at the picture in front and felt tight in the chest.
It's like what's going to happen to him on the first day, no offense.
Find a goat.
Closed story
And throw everything away.
"I asked Pete to check the system."
Lin spoke up immediately.
Everyone in the room turned to look at the same time.
"Chief, don't talk -"
Pete quickly turned to stop
But Lin looked straight at the executive.
"If you want to take the exam, take my exam."
The atmosphere immediately silenced.
Before the opening of the door rings,
Grack.
Thir walked in.
With another file in hand.
"Good, sir."
A polite smile appeared on his face.
"I want everyone to look the same."
As soon as you saw Thir, the deputy manager's face changed immediately.
"Mr. Thir, this is the administration is dealing with -"
"Deal or shut up."
The whole room was immediately silent.
Lin Thanthir ununderstandably.
Because this is the first time...
The other side "opens the face" directly.
Thir slowly put the file on the table.
Before opening the inner document.
"This is a three-year retrospective production logs."
Lin's heart is twisted.
"Including supplier approval and internal transfers."
The expression of the executive began to change one by one.
"Where did you get these papers?"
The deputy manager immediately sounded dark.
Thir smiles thin
"From a system you thought I couldn't reach."
The atmosphere is getting more and more tense.
"The defect lot wasn't caused by Chief Line's mistake."
Thir continued.
"But caused by the forced bypass, the monitoring system."
He slid the papers in front of the other party.
"with signatures approved by the administration."
Lin Thanthin is still.
His heart is pounding until it hurts.
Because now he's starting to understand.
In the past...
Thir didn't just "control" him.
But the other side has always been carrying this war alone
"You're accusing the company."
The deputy manager bites the sound tight.
"I'm telling the truth."
Thir replied quietly.
Before sharp eyes turned to look at Lin for a second
"And this time... I will not let anyone be thrown away again."
Lin's heart was shaking violently.
Because that sentence...
It doesn't sound like the words of people who are defending themselves at all.
But it's more like someone who is breaking down instead of someone
"Brother..."
Lin accidentally called the other side gently.
And the first of many episodes -
Thir smiled at him really weakly.
No control.
No horror.
Only fatigue left.
With the eyes of someone who seems prepared that after today...
Myself may have nothing left.
จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ได้พบเจอปัญหาเกี่ยวกับความไม่เป็นธรรมในองค์กรใหญ่ ๆ ผมรู้สึกว่านิยายตอนนี้สามารถสะท้อนภาพความจริงในหลาย ๆ บริษัทได้อย่างชัดเจนมาก โดยเฉพาะเรื่องการจับแพะชนแกะหรือโยนความผิดให้กับพนักงานคนใดคนหนึ่งเมื่อเกิดปัญหา โดยฝ่ายบริหารหรือผู้มีอำนาจมักจะพยายามปกปิดแทนที่จะแก้ไขปัญหาอย่างตรงไปตรงมา ซึ่งเป็นสาเหตุให้หลายคนต้องแบกรับภาระหนักโดยไม่จำเป็น ในบทนี้ ตัวละครธีร์เลือกที่จะยอมพังแทนเพื่อปกป้องคนที่เขาห่วงใย ซึ่งแสดงถึงความเสียสละและการเผชิญหน้ากับความจริงอย่างกล้าหาญ อีกทั้งยังแสดงให้เห็นว่าความอยุติธรรมในที่ทำงานไม่ควรถูกมองข้าม และการตรวจสอบอย่างจริงจังด้วยข้อมูลที่ชัดเจน เช่น production logs, internal transfer และ supplier approval เป็นเรื่องสำคัญที่จะช่วยเปิดโปงความผิดพลาดที่แท้จริง ผมคิดว่าความเป็นจริงกับนิยายเรื่องนี้มีความสอดคล้องกันอยู่มาก ถึงแม้จะเป็นเรื่องราวจำลอง แต่ก็ทำให้ผู้อ่านเห็นถึงความลำบากใจและความเหนื่อยล้าที่เกิดขึ้นในหน่วยงานที่มีความซับซ้อนทางการเมืองมากกว่าที่จะเป็นแค่เรื่องของคนๆ เดียว ดังนั้น การมีผู้ที่กล้าเปิดหน้าและไม่ยอมปล่อยให้ใครถูกทอดทิ้งอย่างธีร์ จึงเป็นตัวแทนความหวังและความยุติธรรมที่อยากเห็นในสังคมและองค์กรต่าง ๆ การอ่านตอนนี้ทำให้ผมคิดทบทวนถึงการยืนหยัดในความถูกต้องและการไม่ยอมแพ้ แม้ต้องแลกด้วยความเหน็ดเหนื่อยและความเสี่ยงที่สูงก็ตาม
