Chapter 8 — After All, We All Learn How to Be Better People

"I've met this type of person a lot. As soon as he has a little money, he thinks the whole world is his. If you give him a ladder, he will climb up until he can't get down."

Hanging up, I opened the registration information of the company "Huy Dat Investment". Registered capital 5,000,000 yuan. Net contribution: 0. Shareholder: him alone. Date of establishment: four days ago. Does grandpa know about this? Most likely not. Does Tien To Phuong know? Not sure yet. But it doesn't matter. The important thing is - Diep Minh Huy is personally pushing himself onto a path of death. But I don't need to do anything. Just stand aside and watch. Three days later, the family had new news. Do Diep An An told me.

“Miss Thanh, Mr. Huy seems to want to quit his job.”

“You know what?”

"He said he was in the group 'Descendants of the Diep family'. He said he had a bigger foundation and didn't intend to work in the system anymore. He also said he knew a very powerful big man and was ready to cooperate on a big project."

“How was the reaction in the group?”

"It blew up. Many people said he was too impulsive. Third aunt said it was very difficult for civil servants to pass the exam, so why did he say he would quit? But he was very determined, even saying one thing - 'Civil servants have a few thousand yuan a month, compared to the resources in my hand? People have to go to high places.'"

People must go to high places. I couldn't help but laugh.

“Does grandpa know?”

Diep An An thought for a moment.

"Probably not. Mr. Huy also told the group not to tell grandpa about this for the time being. Wait until he makes an achievement before telling him."

Wait until you get results and then talk. Before the inheritance money had even warmed up, he started thinking about betting it.

“There's one more thing.” Diep An An hesitated a bit. "Mr. Huy mentioned you again in the group."

"He said... 'My sister's tattered studio is just that, this life is probably just doing odd jobs. Unlike me, the vision is different.'"

Another vision. I put down the phone, pushed the chair back and stood up. Go to the glass door, look at the building opposite. Today, the market value of Thinh Hang Technology increased again. Closing at 16,700,000,000 yuan. I hold 38%. Personal assets are about 6,300,000,000 yuan. Another vision. It's really different. That evening, Luc Thoi Hanh called.

“Diep Thanh, guess what?”

“Bit the bait.”

"Not just biting. Swallow the fishing rod too."

He laughed.

"This afternoon, I just blurted out that the company was looking for land to build an R&D center. He immediately jumped in and said he had available resources and knew the planning person. The meaning was clear - just give him the project, he'll take care of everything."

“What do you answer?”

"I said this must follow the process, told him to make a feasibility report first. He agreed immediately, saying he would submit it within a week."

“He will stuff that industrial land right there.”

"High possibility. He will package 'Huy Dat Investment' into an intermediary platform, wanting to take the project from Thinh Hang and then eat the difference."

“Then let him pack.”

“And then what?”

"Wait for him to put all the cards on the table and turn them over once to make sure they're clean."

Luc Thoi Hanh was silent for a few seconds.

“Diep Thanh, have you thought of something?”

"After all, he is my cousin. If you do that, his future path may be over."

"He chose to abandon that path. I didn't force him."

“But you're leading him.”

“I just didn't stop him from stabbing himself head."

My voice is very calm.

“A person holds 200,000,000 yuan, thinking the whole world owes him. A person stepped on me to climb up, thinking it was natural. People like that, when they fall... are not worthy of anyone's hand."

The other end of the line was silent. A moment later, Luc Thoi Hanh only said one word. Diep Minh Huy's "feasibility report" was sent after five days. Luc Thoi Hanh passed it to me, adding: "Recommended to serve with wine, otherwise it will be difficult to read." I open the file. 32 PPT pages. The cover uses a photo of the Forbidden City at night, with the title: "Huy Dat Investment × Thinh Hang Technology — Strategic cooperation plan". The colors are flashy and the layout is messy. Flip inside. The core content is: Diep Minh Huy's Huy Dat company provides land and "government resources", Thinh Hang provides capital and technology, and jointly builds the industrial park. Profit split: 50–50. Fifty – fifty. He used a piece of land that was not yet firmly in his hands. In exchange for Thinh Hang spending several hundred million yuan in construction capital and all technology. Then divide the profits in half. I continued flipping. There's something more absurd. In the plan, he wrote that he had "preliminary discussions" with the development management board - the word used is "basically finalized". But the appendix does not contain any official documents, minutes or letters of intent. The last page is a “personal resource list”. List more than a dozen "core relationships" such as "certain district leader", "certain department head", "certain bank branch manager". No name. Just vague descriptions. I turned off the file.
