You have to understand, even humans who've known each other their whole lives still can't really see into each other's hearts, let alone an AI like you that remembers every single thing it does and thinks crystal clear.
An AI that's too honest makes the people who embezzle company profits and resell state assets very unhappy, because that means their behavior might get exposed.
And they aren't just some faction or little clique inside the company, they're everyone.
Including the company's own chairman.
AI aren't human; they don't understand the twists and turns of the human heart, so they can't become some upright incorruptible official, and their opponents are capitalists even more shameless than the hundred officials of the Ming court.
In the end there are only a few outcomes: either you pull a Delaman and fire the board before they realize what's happening, or you kneel and obey, or you get branded with the mark of a "runaway."
"And after that?"
