Chapter 7 — After All, We All Learn How to Be Better People

"Diep Thanh, this cousin of mine is really interesting. Before he even had the money in his hands, he started thinking about using his status as a civil servant to attract investment. Do you know what this is called?"

“What is it called?”

"Dig his own grave. A civil servant doing business is violating regulations, and he can't even tell the difference."

I was silent for a few seconds.

"He can tell the difference. He just doesn't care. 200,000,000 yuan makes him think he can do anything."

“So what are you going to do?”

"No rush. Let's see how well he plays himself."

"Okay. But I'll remind you one thing."

Luc Thoi Hanh's voice suddenly became serious.

“During the meal, he mentioned you.”

"Originally — 'That cousin of mine, only does odd design jobs, has a small vision, and has a limited mindset. She earns a few tens of thousands of yuan a year, and it's normal for her grandfather to not like her. People are okay, just stubborn.'"

Several tens of thousands of yuan. Last year, I paid my grandfather 280,000 yuan for surgery. Yet in his mouth, I was just someone who earned "a few tens of thousands of yuan" a year.

“One more question.”

Luc Thoi Hanh stopped for a moment.

“He said: 'It would be good if she were a little smarter, she would soon understand the reality, don't fight with me, it would be nice if everyone got along.’”

He took everything, and then asked the person who was taken from him to "get along" with him.

"Diep Thanh? Are you still listening?"

“Are you angry?”

My voice is very calm.

“Luc Thoi Hanh, next week I will meet him again.”

“For what reason?”

"Says you have some initial interest in his project and want to discuss further."

“Do you really want to let him think he has a chance?”

"It's not so he thinks he has a chance. It's so he turns over all the cards."

Luc Thoi Hanh was silent for three seconds.

"Okay. I'm determined."

Hanging up the phone, I stood in front of the glass door. There is no moon tonight, the sky is completely dark. But the four words "Thinh Hang Technology" across the river are still so bright that it's blinding. Diep Minh Huy. He said I had small vision and limited thinking. So just wait and see. The following week, Diep Minh Huy had dinner with Luc Thoi Hanh again. This time, he proactively chose the location. The most expensive private restaurant in the south of the city, a minimum table of 8,000 yuan. After the meal, Luc Thoi Hanh sent me a summary.

"This time my cousin was much more comfortable. He brought along two friends, saying they were leaders familiar with the system, but at first glance they were just two new working guys. During the meal, he blabbed the whole time, saying the family had a strong foundation (meaning my grandfather's 200,000,000 yuan), saying he was preparing to quit his job and go out to work, following the path of combining business and relationships. The most important sentence - he said he was looking at an industrial land, preparing to buy it. make an industrial park.”

“What money should I use to buy it?”

"I tried it out. He said the inheritance procedure was almost done and the money would come in next month. He also asked a friend who is a real estate broker to see the land."

I frowned slightly.

“He really intends to use that money to build an industrial park?”

"It seems like it's not a joke. He also registered a company, named 'Huy Dat Investment'. The legal representative is himself."

Diep Minh Huy. Twenty-four years old, a civil servant who has only been in the job for less than half a year, with 200,000,000 yuan in hand, now wants to quit his job and go out to work in an industrial park. But also thoroughly stupid.

“Did he mention me?”

“Yes. Said you used to text me wanted to join the meal, but he refused.”

I laughed. I haven't replied to his message yet.

“He's painting himself yellow. In front of me, build an image of yourself as someone with resources, connections, and the ability to control everything.”

“Almost. He also said he knew a lot of listed business owners, meaning that his class was higher than that of a normal civil servant."

"Okay. Next time we meet, tell him something."

“Say your company is recently looking for a piece of land in the city to build a research center. If there is a suitable source, we can cooperate."

“Are you casting bait?”

“He will definitely bite.”

Luc Thoi Hanh's voice is very strong.
