Chapter 12 — After Firing Me, My Husband Lost the 6 Billion Dollar Project!

He nodded: "Yes. I've worked at the company for ten years. When Mr. Co was still alive, the company's profits grew steadily every year. Since Mr. Co's departure, Canh Tham took over, the company's situation has been worse each year than the previous year. Especially in the past three years, since Lam Nhuoc Khe returned to the company, the money in the account is like water flowing out." I remained silent, waiting for him to continue.

"As an independent director, I have the right to review the company's financial statements. I discovered a few irregularities, but every time I questioned her, Lam Nhuoc Khe used this or that excuse to avoid it. Canh Tham defended her and refused to let me investigate."

He stared at me: "General To, I heard that you have some evidence in your hand?" I stared at him for a few seconds: "Luu Dong, how do you know?" He smiled: "In this world, news spreads quickly. Ms. Vuong and I are old friends, she casually mentioned something to me." Ms. Vuong. Chief Financial Officer of the group. Grandfather's old subordinate. I suddenly remembered the day I left, Ms. Vuong said "Take care" to me in the elevator. It seems she did more than I thought.

"Liu Dong," I said, "I am indeed keeping a few things. But I can't just show them to others."

He nodded: "I understand. I didn't come to you to ask for evidence, I came to tell you some news."

"Next Wednesday, the Co Group will have an extraordinary meeting of the Board of Directors. The meeting's content is to approve a new 'brand promotion investment', worth 50 million yuan. The recipient of the investment is still the same as before, a ghost company."

50 million yuan. They continue to smuggle money.

"I have allied with three other independent Directors, preparing to veto this investment in the meeting. But just vetoing is not enough. If we do not have real evidence to prove that this amount of money is problematic, Canh Tham can completely use the General Director's special power to force it through."

I got it.

“So you need my proof.”

“It's not necessary, but I hope you can cooperate.” Liu Jianping looked at me urgently, "President Su, I know there is a personal grudge between you and Canh Tham. But this is no longer a personal matter between the two of you. The Co Group has more than three thousand employees. If the company were to be exploited to bankruptcy, that many people would lose their bread and butter."

More than three thousand employees. I remember the co-workers in the hallway who saw me as if they were dodging evil, remember Tieu Hua's bowed face counting wood grains, and Ms. Vuong's words "Take care" in the elevator. They are not bad people. They are just ordinary little people, floating on a sinking ship.

"Liu Dong," I said, "I can cooperate with you. But I have one condition."

“You say it.”

“During that meeting, I had to be present in person.”

Liu Jianping frowned: "You are no longer a member of the company, you are not qualified to attend the Board of Directors meeting."

“I know. But you can invite me in as a ‘Witness’ or ‘Guest Advisor’.”

He thought for a moment: "Okay. But you must ensure that there will be no aggressive actions during the meeting." I laughed: “Luu Dong, I came to talk about morality, not to fight confused.” He also laughed: "Good, it's decided." He pulled out a file from his briefcase: "Here is the schedule and list of members attending the Board of Directors next Wednesday, please take a look." I took it and turned the pages. On the list, in addition to the regular members of the Board of Directors, there is also a prominent name: Lam Nhuoc Khe. She was joined as Marketing Director. Co Canh Tham, Lam Nhuoc Khe, Secretary Trieu, Ms. Wang, Liu Jianping, along with three independent directors and five representatives of former shareholders. Fifteen people in total. This Board of Directors meeting will determine the fate of the Co Group. And will also decide my destiny. For the next five days, I hardly rested. On Tham Dao's side, new evidence is sent every day. Lam Nhuoc Khe's Hong Kong account smuggled out three more sums of money, a total of 1.2 million yuan. The recipient is still the Singapore account of her cousin, Jenny Chen. Co Canh Tham's account also had fluctuations, a transfer of 2 million yuan was sent to a peripheral company registered in the Cayman Islands. Ha Tinh has compiled and arranged all bank statements, transaction history, and registration information of ghost companies, creating a complete list of evidence.

“General Su,” Ha Tinh spread the list of evidence on the table, “Currently the evidence we are holding includes: One, Lam Nhuoc Khe and Co Canh Tham in the past three years have used ghost companies to disperse group assets, the total amount of which exceeds 230 million yuan; Two, Jenny Chen - Lam Nhuoc Khe's cousin - opened an account in Singapore and received more than 6 million yuan in money of unknown origin; Third, Co Canh Tham registered an offshore company in the Cayman Islands, the source of the money transferred is unclear."

I nodded: “Is there anything else?” Ha Tinh turned to the last page: "There's another big explosion. Last night Tham Dao picked up a recording from Lam Nhuoc Khe's computer."

“Recording what?”

Ha Tinh turned on the recorder and pressed the Play button. Lam Nhuoc Khe's voice rang out, a bit hoarse, as if she was talking late at night.

“Mom, my money has already been transferred. Two million yuan is enough for my mother to buy an apartment in Singapore. Once I finish resolving the matter here, I will go there to reunite with my mother."
