Chapter 4 — After Firing Me, My Husband Lost the 6 Billion Dollar Project!

Secretary Trieu hesitated: "Mr. Lam knew there was this project, but didn't know the specific situation. She thought it was just a normal big customer, didn't know the value was up to 6 billion, and didn't know the customer only recognized Mr. To." Co Canh Tham closed his eyes. Lam Nhuoc Khe. He put Lam Nhuoc Khe in the position of Marketing Director, to take away To Van's power, and to clean up the internal affairs on his behalf. But he forgot to tell Lam Nhuoc Khe that in To Van's hand there was a trump card that he absolutely could not touch. Not forgetting. But he himself did not expect To Van to hold that project so tightly. He always believed that To Van was just a female planning employee, once the project was signed, the customer would naturally follow the company. But only now did he realize that To Van had held back from the beginning. She signed the contract in her personal name, locking the customer relationship in her hands, making everyone think it was just a normal contract. As for him, he didn't find out until today.

“Secretary Trieu,” he turned around, “Go find To Van, tell her that I can let her come back, keep her position, the conditions are up to her to set the price.”

Secretary Trieu was stunned: "Mr. Gu, yesterday you said..."

"Yesterday was yesterday," Co Canh Tham interrupted, "Now is now. Tell her, as long as she is willing to hand over the project, anything can be negotiated."

Secretary Trieu nodded and turned to walk away.

“Wait,” Co Canh Tham called back, “Don't let Lam Nhuoc Khe know.”

After Secretary Trieu left, Co Canh Tham sat down on the chair, rubbing his forehead with both hands. He remembered five years ago, before his hospital bed, his father held To Van's hand tightly and said: "Tieu To, give me the company, I can rest assured." At that time, he thought that his father was getting old and docile, so he entrusted the company to an outsider. Now he understands that his father is not doting, but is extremely alert. Dad knew his ability was not enough, knew he was eager to win, knew sooner or later he would be stripped of his power. That's why he found To Van - a capable woman, without ambition, and wholeheartedly devoted to him - to take care of the company on his behalf. But his father miscalculated one thing. If you can't figure it out, he will personally push To Van away. No, not pushed, but kicked. Using the most humiliating method, in front of all employees, let his lover come out and announce his wife's dismissal. He stood up and went to the window. 6 billion project, if lost, the Board of Directors will not forgive him. The old shareholders that his father left behind inherently did not like him, criticized his weak abilities, and believed that he sat on the General Director's seat entirely thanks to the father-son relationship. Over the years, he has always used To Van's achievements to silence them. Now he personally fires To Van. If the project also fails, those people will join forces to dismiss him. He picked up the phone, intending to call Lam Nhuoc Khe, but hesitated. If I told Lam Nhuoc Khe now that To Van is holding a 6 billion project, what would she think? Will find him too stupid. You will feel like you are being taken advantage of. Will begin to doubt whether he still cares about To Van or not. Co Canh Tham turned off the power phone down. No, can't let Lam Nhuoc Khe know. He has to deal with this himself. He picked up the internal phone and called Secretary Trieu's cell phone: "Have you found To Van yet?" Secretary Trieu's voice was very impatient: "Boss, I went to her house, there was no one. Calling was blocked. I asked the house security, they said she went out last night and didn't come back." Co Canh Tham hung up the phone and sat back in the chair. He picked up the phone again and called another number.

“Lin Nhuoc Khe, where are you?”

On the other end of the phone, Lam Nhuoc Khe's voice was extremely gentle: "I'm at the company, what's wrong?"

“I'll go to your room once.”

“Now?”

"Right now."

Five minutes later, Lam Nhuoc Khe pushed the door open and walked in. She wore a delicately tailored white business suit, her hair was neatly tied up without a single strand hanging down, and on her lips was still the eternally gentle and dignified smile.

"What's wrong? Your face looks so bad."

Co Canh Tham looked at her.

"To Van has a project worth 6 billion in her hands," he went straight to the point, "The customer only accepts her, not the company. You fired her, now the project is in her hands, she refuses to hand it over."

Lam Nhuoc Khe's smile stiffened.

“Yes, 6 billion.”

Lam Nhuoc Khe was silent for a few seconds, then laughed: "It's okay, let me negotiate with the customer."

“I can't negotiate,” Co Canh Tham said, “That guest only accepts To Van.”

The smile on Lam Nhuoc Khe's face disappeared completely. She looked at him, her eyes changed: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Co Canh Tham avoided her eyes: "I thought the contract was sealed, it's okay to change the person in charge."

“You think?” Lam Nhuoc Khe's voice rose high, "Do you know that your two words 'I thought' could cause us to lose 6 billion?"

Co Canh Tham gritted his teeth: "I know. So now we have to find a way to get the project back." Lam Nhuoc Khe walked to the window, turned her back to him, and was silent for a long time.

“Where is To Van now?” She asked.

“Not sure,” Co Canh Tham replied, “She blocked everyone, I don't know where to go.”

Lam Nhuoc Khe turned around and looked at him with cold eyes: "Go find her and tell her that if you hand over the project here, you can go back to being Vice President. If you don't hand it over..." She paused for a beat.

“If we don't hand it over, we'll make it impossible for her to return forever.”

Looking at her eyes, Co Canh Tham suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

“What do you mean?”

Lam Nhuoc Khe smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "I don't mean anything. I just want her to know that confronting us will not end well." After speaking, she turned on her heel and left. Co Canh Tham sat on the chair, blankly looking at the tightly closed door. Maybe he did a lot of things wrong. It's not just about firing To Van. But also, bring Lam Nhuoc Khe into the company. And also, secretly going back and forth with Lam Nhuoc Khe. The phone rang, it was a message from Secretary Trieu: "Mr. Co, found Mr. To. She is in an office building in the east of the city, apparently coming to find her college friend." Co Canh Tham immediately called back: "Send me the specific address." Receiving the address, he grabbed the car keys and rushed out of the office. Standing in the elevator, he looked at his reflection shine through the mirror. Thirty-five years old, General Director of the Group, only son of the Co family. But right at this moment, he felt like a joke. Also that morning, at Tham Dao's detective office. Tham Dao stayed up all night, her eyes bloodshot, but her face was extremely excited.

“Guess what I found out?”

She pushed the stack of documents over. I didn't move: "You say it."

"Lam Nhuoc Khe and Co Canh Tham, it's true that they met each other while studying abroad. The pregnancy story is also true, it was from the third year of university, then it was aborted. But that's not the point."

Tham Dao turned to the third page.

"The point here is that three years ago when Lam Nhuoc Khe returned home, it wasn't because she 'developed her career' or anything, but because she couldn't survive abroad anymore."
