Chapter 7 — After Firing Me, My Husband Lost the 6 Billion Dollar Project!

His office is located on the top floor, with a very minimalist layout. Mahogany furniture, calligraphy and paintings hang on the walls, and on the desk is a purple tea set. When I walked in, he was making tea. When he saw me, he waved and called: "Come here, sit down." I sat down, he pushed a cup of tea from the tray: "Try it, it's new this year." I took a sip, but didn't taste anything special.

“Have you brought a lawyer with you?” Uncle Chau asked.

“I brought you there.” Following me was a man in his thirties, wearing glasses and carrying a briefcase. His name is Ha Tinh, introduced by Tham Dao, specializing in commercial litigation.

Uncle Chau looked at Ha Tinh and nodded: "Okay, sit down." Ha Tinh sat down next to her, opened her briefcase, took out her tape recorder and notebook. Uncle Chau poured me another cup of tea, then leaned back in his chair and looked at me: "Tieu To, I'm talking about this. Don't get excited after listening." I put down the tea cup: "Tell me."

“Yesterday Lam Nhuoc Khe came to see you, but not to discuss the project.” Uncle Chau's voice was very calm, "It came to threaten me."

I was stunned: "Threatening?"

"That's right. He told me, if I don't cancel the cooperation with you and re-sign with their company, he will find someone to investigate my books. He also said that our company has problems with the use of labor, if we investigate, something will happen immediately."

I clenched the teacup in my hand, my knuckles turning white. Uncle Chau looked at me and smiled: "Don't be impatient, I'm not easily scared by him. I've been in the business for thirty years, what big storms have I never seen? A brat trying to scare me with his nose not clean yet? Dreaming."

"However," Uncle Chau changed his tone, "This raises a problem. They are in a hurry. Extremely in a hurry."

Ha Tinh sitting next to him spoke up and interjected: "General Chau, what specifically did she say? Can you tell me in more detail?" Uncle Chau thought for a moment: "He said this, 'Mr. Chau, you have been cooperating with the Co family for so many years, you probably know who the Co family belongs to. To Van has been fired, she is not qualified to represent the Co group in signing a contract with you. If you continue to do business with her, the legal validity of the contract will be problematic. In addition, I heard that your company has some outstanding historical problems related to taxes and labor, if If you agree to re-sign with the Co family, we can help you clean up these problems'." Ha Tinh took notes quickly and asked: "Is this the original text?"

“That's roughly what it means.” Uncle Chau replied, "At that time, I immediately kicked him out. Who the hell are you to have the right to demand conditions from me? When I was friends with your mother-in-law, you were still wearing your school uniform."

I couldn't help but laugh. Uncle Chau is such a person, when he gets angry, everyone dares to curse him. But your cursing is very reasonable.

"However," Uncle Chau continued, "It is correct on one point. The legal validity of the contract is really problematic."

I looked at him, waiting for him to continue. Uncle Chau picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down: "You have been fired, you are no longer a member of the Co family. The contract was signed in the name of the Co family, if you no longer work there, the company can absolutely request that the contract be declared invalid." Ha Tinh nodded in agreement: “Mr. Chau say right. Legally, the subject of the contract is the Co Group, not Mr. To personally. Although the customer relationship is maintained by General To, the contracting legal entity is still the company. If the company gives the reason that the signing representative has quit his job, the contract has a serious misunderstanding or the circumstances have fundamentally changed, it is entirely possible that the court will rule it invalid or be terminated." My heart sank to the bottom. I always thought the project was my trump card, but now it seems that this card is not strong at all. Uncle Chau noticed my expression and immediately waved his hand: "Don't rush, I haven't finished speaking yet. The subject of the contract is the company, but contract enforcement depends on people. Uncle Chau, when doing business, never paid attention to whose contract was stamped. What he looked at was the person working with him. I accept you - To Van, regardless of whether you live in the Co family or open your own company, I will only cooperate with you." He turned to look at Ha Tinh: "Lawyer, I ask you, if To Van establishes her own company, I transfer the contract to her company's name, is that okay?"
