Chapter 16 — 7 Year Marriage Isn't Real

"Phuong Niem Tri..."

I bowed my head and continued to look at the documents.

"I'm very busy."

He remained standing still. Finally... He turned and left. The door closed. The hand placed under my table... Gently squeezed. Then very quickly... Relaxed again.

"General Manager Phuong."

Co Dien Chu's voice echoed from the office inside.

"Are you okay?"

I turned to the next file.

"Remember not to be late for the meeting with the Institute of Architectural Design this afternoon."

Trouble comes from another direction. Luc Minh An. Although he lost his position in the association. He has been rooted in this city for thirty years. The foundation is still very deep. He began to silently make things difficult for me. First trick. Hit the construction contractor. He silently contacted the construction unit of the East project. Advise them to withdraw.

"Cooperating with the Phuong family girl has no future."

"What does a young lady know?"

"Sooner or later that project will become an abandoned project."

The contractor immediately called to ask me what I wanted. I don't say much. Directly transfer the entire payment of the next period in advance. After the money is in your account. The contractor did not say anything more. Everything is negotiable. Second move. He spread the news to the bank. Saying there is a problem with Thanh Nguyen Group's capital source. My money is "not clean." Lawyer Tran Tung took two days. Prepare all documents proving assets. Then send it straight to the bank's risk management department. All assets... are legal inheritance. All have complete notarized documents. The bank not only did not investigate. But also proactively increased the credit limit for Thanh Nguyen. The third move... is truly poisonous. He bribed a reporter from the local newspaper. Write an investigative article. The title is:

"The mystery behind the mysterious female billionaire - Where does Thanh Nguyen Group's money come from?"

In the article... My name was never mentioned. Everyone knows who the person being implicated is. The article repeatedly refers to my assets as...

"Gray capital."

Even hinted... I have a shady relationship with some "powerful figures." Just for half a day. The article has reached more than five hundred thousand reads. When I saw... Sitting at lunch. Co Dien Chu can also read it.

"Do you need a response?"

"Of course."

I put down my chopsticks.

"Not by announcement."

"So how?"

"What's that reporter's name?"

"Truong Huc Dong."

"Reporter of Urban Newspaper."

"Invite him to come."

"Just say..."

"Thanh Nguyen Group wants to do an exclusive interview."

"To answer all the market's doubts."

"Tell him to bring the whole filming crew."

"Are you sure?"

I hold the phone. Send a message to Tran Tung.

"Tell him to prepare all the documents."

"Proof of assets."

"Trust Fund Records."

"Notarized documents."

"Copy of grandmother's will."

"I will..."

"Personally open each file."

"For everyone to see."

"So..."

"Aren't all your assets exposed?"

I smiled.

"I'm just revealing..."

"The part that Luc Minh An wants to see."

"Let him know..."

"How rich am I."

"Let him understand."

"He..."

"Not qualified to confront me."

Two days later. Official interview video released. In the office of Thanh Nguyen Group. In front of the camera. I times Open each file in turn.

"It's my grandmother's original will."

"Mrs. Phuong Thuc Hoa."

"It's all the share transfer records of Thinh Hoa Group."

"A notarized document regulating a trust fund."

"It's the entire cash flow statement in my personal account."

All day long. I make no excuses. Not a word of emotion. End of video. I looked straight at the camera. Just say one sentence.

"Every penny of mine..."

"Withstand all investigations."

Video release date. Views exceeded ten million. Wind direction in the comments... Completely reversed.

"This girl is really cool."

"If you're defamed, show evidence."

"Is Phuong Thuc Hoa the founder of Thinh Hoa system?"

"I just looked it up."

"Her background is ten times stronger than the Luc family's."

"Luc Minh An really shot himself into the muzzle of the gun."

The slanderous article was quickly taken down by the platform. Truong Huc Dong also had to post a letter of apology. Say...

"I was led by others."

Luc Minh An's third move... Completely failed. The city's Economic Person of the Year award ceremony officially took place. This is the most important event for business people of the year. There are no exceptions. Any businessman with a big name... Will be present. I also received an invitation. Not as a guest. One of the candidates received the award. The day the organizers called. I actually paused for a few seconds.

"Miss Phuong."

"With the achievements of Thanh Nguyen Group."

"You have been nominated for an award..."

Outstanding young entrepreneur of the year.

"Also..."

"There's one more prize."

Lifetime Contribution Award.

"Dedicated to her grandmother posthumously."

"Mrs. Phuong Thuc Hoa."

"We hope you can represent her..."

"Come up and accept the award."

Two awards. Belongs to me. Belongs to grandmother.

"I will attend."

Award ceremony... Held in the Great Hall of City Hall.
