Chapter 12 — After I Refunded the Plane Tickets

We entered the clubhouse. Inside is a completely different world. The ancient decoration is lavish to the extreme. But the thing that caught the most attention... was the giant glass-enclosed area in the middle of the clubhouse. Animal arena. On the sand inside, two giant Tibetan mastiffs were furiously biting each other. Blood dyed their fur red. A low, heavy roar and the sound of bones being broken echoed continuously. In the surrounding stands, more than ten men who looked like they were rich or precious were excitedly shouting and placing bets. His expression was distorted because he was excited about the blood. I frowned slightly. A feeling of discomfort arose in my heart.

“How are you, little girl?”

General Director Vuong's voice rang in my ears.

“This game…”

“Aroused?”

I don't answer. I just quietly looked at the two animals desperately biting each other in the middle of the field. Just to entertain people. My eyes gradually cooled down.

“Don't like it?”

General Manager Vuong seemed to notice the change in my emotions.

“General Manager Vuong.”

I turned my head to look at him and slowly said each word:

“What I saw…”

“Just two poor animals.”

“And a bunch of people… even more pitiful than them.”

The smile on General Director Vuong's face immediately froze. The surrounding air also seemed to drop straight to freezing point. Lawyer Ly's face immediately turned pale. He probably thought I was crazy. Dare to say such disrespectful words right in front of General Director Vuong. General Manager Vuong stared at me. For more than ten seconds. The smile in his eyes gradually disappeared. Instead, it was a deep, bottomless look.

“Your name is To Tinh, right?”

“Do you know…”

“The last person who dares to talk to me like this…”

“Is the grass on the grave three meters high now?”

His voice was very light. But it was so cold that it gave people goosebumps. You are threatening me. If I'm scared right now. Or sorry. Then my destiny with the company... is considered over. I looked straight into his eyes. Not only did he not back down. On the contrary, he laughed.

“So we can only prove…”

“In the past, General Director Vuong met people with no backbone.”

I stopped for a moment, my smile became even brighter.

“You finally met someone interesting…”

“I can talk to you on equal terms.”

After I finished speaking. The whole world seemed silent. All eyes were on me. Surely everyone is waiting to see how General Director Vuong will crush this little girl. What surprised everyone was... After half a minute of silence. General Manager Vuong suddenly burst into laughter.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

He laughed so much that he leaned back, tears about to flow.

“This girl is really interesting!”

He pointed at me and then turned to lawyer Ly next to him.

“Old Ly, have you seen it?”

“Is this girl like me twenty years ago?”

“Both are equally desperate!”

“They are all extravagant to the heavens!”

After laughing, he turned to look at me again. Eyes full of enjoyment.

“I like you.”

“Contract thing…”

“I don't want to talk anymore.”

“I want to tell you something else.”

He leaned slightly, got close to my ear, and used a volume loud enough for only the two of us to hear to say a sentence. That sentence instantly made me feel like I was struck by lightning.

“Interested…”

“Will you be my adopted daughter?”

Adopted daughter. These three words... When they came out of General Director Vuong's mouth. So heavy that it can pierce the entire world. What does it mean to be Vuong Thien Ba's adopted daughter? That means in the entire South Chinatown area... I can just go boldly. It means money, power, status... Just show your hand and get it. That means I will take a step up to heaven, entering a class where before I didn't even have the qualifications to raise my head and look up. This is enough temptation to drive any normal person crazy on the spot. Lawyer Ly's eyes almost fell out. He followed General Manager Vuong for twenty years. Loyal and devoted. Yet General Manager Vuong never gave him even the slightest hint like that. A girl over twenty years old that we had known for less than an hour... To receive such a great favor? He couldn't understand. Even I found my mind a bit dizzy. But I know.
