Chapter 4 — After Divorce, My Father Immediately Withdrawed 30 Billion Yuan, My Ex-Husband Went Bankrupt After Just Two Weeks
The taste of the onion cake... Still the same as when I was a child. I ate three in a row. Mom just sat next to me quietly watching me eat. Say nothing. Just look like that. His eyes were red but he still tried to hold back.
“Mom, don't cry.”
“Who's crying?”
She turned her face away and gently wiped her eyes.
“It's because the kitchen smoke irritates my eyes.”
“Mom, dad told me everything.”
Her movements stopped.
“What are we talking about?”
“My family's story.”
“Dinh Thinh Capital... with Shulan Holdings.”
Mother sighed softly. She took off her apron and sat down across from me.
"Your father, he rarely spoke all his life. He kept everything hidden in his heart. That year, we agreed not to tell you, so you could walk on your own. Your father always said, being rich for no more than three generations is not because of money, but because of people's mentality. He wants you to live honestly, to rely on yourself."
“What about mom?”
Mom smiled bitterly.
“I just feel sorry for you.”
“The first month you married into the Luc family, I already regretted it.”
"What kind of person Trieu Le Phan is, I'll know with just one look."
“I have told your father many times, we should help you.”
“But my father told me to wait a little longer, saying that my life path must be for me to walk on my own.”
She took my hand. Grip very tightly.
“For the past three years, the pain you've endured... I know it all.”
"Every time you call home, just say 'I'm fine', I immediately know... you're not fine at all."
I bowed my head. The bridge of the nose is stinging.
“It's good to be divorced now.”
Mom gently patted the back of my hand.
“The old story... should end.”
In the afternoon, my father returned. Accompanying him was a man in his forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a very neatly tailored suit, and carrying a briefcase in his hand. As soon as he entered the door, he bowed slightly to greet me.
"Hello Ms. To. I am Chu Vien Hang, Legal Director of Dinh Thinh Capital."
“Nien Niem, sit down and listen.”
Dad sat down on the sofa and pointed to the spot next to him. Chu Vien Hang opened his briefcase and took out a stack of documents.
“General Manager To told me to report to you about the current situation of Luc Thi Real Estate.”
He looked at my father, and after receiving a nod, turned to the first page.
"At 3:23 pm yesterday, the Spirit Fund under Dinh Thinh Capital officially launched the capital recovery process. By 12 noon today, the first tranche worth 12,000,000,000 yuan had completed the blockade procedure. The remaining 18,000,000,000 yuan will be completely blocked within the next forty-eight hours."
He turned to the second page.
"As for Luc Thi Real Estate, at 9 a.m. this morning, their Finance Director discovered there was a problem with cash flow. The board of directors has now convened an emergency meeting. However, because Mr. Luc Gia Minh... apologized... because Luc Canh Dien himself was on the flight to Tokyo, his phone was still turned off, and the company was temporarily unable to contact him."
He looked towards me and continued:
"In addition, the IPO documents that Luc Thi is submitting have also been passed through regulatory compliance channels to reflect the issue of original capital to the Securities Commission. According to the correct process, their documents will be returned within 3 to 5 working days."
“What about the credit lines of the four banks?”
My father asked. Chu Vien Hang pushed up his glasses.
"Echo Construction Bank and Transport Bank have frozen credit limits. Chieu Thuong Bank and Trung Tin Bank will likely also have results this afternoon. As long as the bank's risk control team detects a problem with the original capital, the response will be very quick."
Dad nodded.
“How is it at the airport?”
Chu Vien Hang replied:
“Luc Canh Dien and the remaining five people boarded the plane at 3:50 p.m. The ANA flight took off at 4:20 a.m., arriving at Narita Airport, Tokyo. They should be in the air right now.”
My father's face was still extremely calm.
“Just let him fly.”
“Wait until you land and then turn on your phone... there will be a big surprise.”
After Chu Vien Hang left, dad made a pot of tea and poured me a cup.
“Nim Niem, next you have two choices.”
“First choice, don't worry about anything anymore. Let the team handle the affairs of the Luc family. You just need to rest well, if you want to travel then go, if you want to continue studying then study, live your own life. From now on, the Luc family will no longer appear in front of you."
“What about the second choice?”
“Second choice…” Dad took a sip of tea. “Enter the company.”
“Which corporation?”
“Shulan Holdings.”
“The company is in your mother's name.”
“Actually, that company is always waiting for a successor. Your mother has been in charge for many years and is tired. Dad also wants to retire and rest.”
I pointed at myself.
“I don't understand anything about business management.”
“If you don't understand, learn.”
