Chapter 5 — After Divorce, My Father Immediately Withdrawed 30 Billion Yuan, My Ex-Husband Went Bankrupt After Just Two Weeks

Dad looked at me.

"You are inherently very smart. Ever since you were little."

“It's just that over the past few years... the Luc family has worn away all my sharpness.”

He put down the tea cup.

“Dad doesn't force me.”

“I decide for myself.”

Luc Canh Dien learned the bad news while staying at a hotel in Tokyo. That's what Chu Vien Hang told me after three days. It was 11 pm Tokyo time. After having dinner with Chu Uyen Thanh at a high-end Kaiseki restaurant in the Ginza area, Luc Canh Dien brought some alcohol back to the hotel. As soon as he opened his phone... He immediately saw 63 missed calls. They all come from: His father, Luc Kien Hoa. Director of Finance of the company. Director of finance department. Customer management of partner banks. The first call he returned was to his father. As soon as the phone was connected, Luc Kien Hoa's fierce shout rang out on the other end of the line.

"Are you still in the mood to play around? The company is about to go bankrupt, do you know? 30,000,000,000 yuan of original capital has been completely frozen! The bank's credit limit has been cut off! The IPO documents have been returned! Three projects have had to stop construction! Come home immediately!"

Luc Canh Dien immediately sobered up from alcohol.

"What does a total blockade mean? How is that possible? Isn't that the Singapore investment fund..."

“That fund has withdrawn its capital!”

“Without any warning, clear!”

“Our lawyer investigated all morning but the other side didn't bother to give a single explanation!”

"There is a clause in the contract that allows them to unilaterally terminate cooperation. Previously, to get this investment, we accepted all conditions. Now people follow the contract, we have absolutely no choice!"

"No way... The person in charge of that fund is very close to me. Last month we even played golf together..."

“You should try calling!”

“The phone number has been canceled!”

“Emails also bounce!”

“You disappeared without a trace!”

Luc Canh Dien stood silently in front of the hotel window, looking at the bright lights of Tokyo outside. His hands trembled every now and then. Chu Uyen Thanh walked out of the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe. Seeing his pale face, she frowned and asked:

“What's going on?”

“Return home immediately.”

That same night, they changed their plane tickets. Trieu Le Phan was still grumbling.

"I made an appointment to go to the hot springs but I haven't gone yet. I haven't bought my bag in Ginza yet. Why do I have to go home so quickly?"

Luc Canh Dien only said one sentence.

“The company lost 30,000,000,000 yuan.”

“Are you still in the mood to buy bags?”

Trieu Le Phan's face immediately turned pale. These things... At that time, I was sitting in the meeting room of Shulan Holdings and listening to Chu Vien Hang's report. Three days ago... I made a choice. I choose the second path. Join the company. Dad didn't say anything more. He just nodded slightly.

“Starting tomorrow.”

The next morning at exactly 8 o'clock, a black Maybach stopped in front of the villa. The driver was a man in his thirties, wearing a neat uniform, and respectfully called to me:

“Hello, Miss To.”

When I got into the car, a bag of documents was placed on the back seat. Inside is Shulan Holdings' organizational chart, an introduction to core businesses and an appointment decision. The decision clearly states: Appoint To Niem to hold the position Assistant General Director of Shulan Holdings, effective from today. The person who signs the decision... Is the legal representative of the company. Ly Thuc Lan. Shulan Holdings' headquarters is located from the 37th to 40th floors of the Dinh Thinh building in the western CBD of the city. It is Dinh Thinh building. That whole building... It all belongs to my father. When I entered the lobby, the two girls at the front desk stood up at the same time.

“Hello, Miss To.”

I nodded slightly, then followed the Administrative Director who came to pick me up and entered the elevator to the 38th floor. Along the way, many people looked at me. But no one stopped talking. There were also no whispers behind the back. There was curiosity in their eyes. But even more so is the well-honed professionalism. The Assistant General Manager's office is located on the 39th floor, right next to my mother's General Manager's office. When I pushed open the door and walked in, on the table was prepared a laptop, a work phone and a thick stack of neatly arranged documents. The top set of documents clearly states: 2024 business performance report of Shulan Holdings. Right below is: Overview of Dinh Thinh Capital's investment portfolio (Internal summary). Below is a red folder. On the cover there are only a few words: Luc Thi Real Estate — Project liquidation plan. I opened that file. On the first page is a progress table. Week 1: Blocking the original capital source, activating the bank's risk control system. Week two: IPO documents were returned, construction projects stopped, and suppliers came to collect debts. Week three: The media exposed the cash flow breakdown and mortgaged stocks were sold. Week four: Creditors simultaneously sued and the court froze assets. The last page of the plan has only one line of text: Expected liquidation time: 45 days. After that time, Luc Thi Real Estate will completely disappear. I stared at that line for a long time. Forty-five days. What took Luc Canh Dien and the entire Luc family 15 years to build... It only took 45 days for it to go up in smoke. But it all started with just one word my father said on the phone.
