Chapter 13 — After I Refunded the Plane Tickets

In this world, there is no cake that naturally falls from the sky. But even if it really falls... It could still be an iron wheel, enough to kill someone. People like General Director Vuong... are erratic in their happiness and anger. Thoughts are as deep as the ocean. Behind his sudden goodwill, there was definitely a deeper purpose that I hadn't seen yet. This could be a life-changing opportunity. It could also be a trap with no way back. It's a challenge. It's also a gamble. One step to the clouds. Broken bones and broken flesh. My mind in that moment was going crazy. Or refuse? If I agree, I will immediately have everything that I have never been able to reach in my entire life. But at the same time... I will also be branded as "General Manager Wang's adopted daughter". Turn into his dependent. A chess piece. All my future achievements will be overshadowed by that identity. Outsiders will say... To Tinh can climb as high as a man. And if I refuse... I might immediately anger him. Lost this contract forever. Even exposing yourself and the company to more terrifying retaliation. But at least... I retain my self-respect. With all the abilities of an independent individual. Under General Director Vuong's gaze that seemed to see through everything. I make my choice. I looked at him. But extremely steadfast.

“Thank you for your favor, General Manager Vuong.”

My voice is very light. But it's extremely clear.

“But I…”

“Not worthy.”

“I just want to rely on my own abilities…”

“Do my job well.”

“Sign this contract well.”

“There are other things…”

“I don't dare hope.”

After I finished speaking, the entire arena once again fell into absolute silence. Lawyer Ly looked at me as if I had just gone crazy. He probably felt... I had personally thrown a fortune from the sky into the trash. The smile on General Director Vuong's face also slowly disappeared. He looked at me. His eyes were unprecedentedly complex. There was surprise. There is disappointment. A bit of comfort that I cannot understand.

“Have you thought it through?”

He asked in a low voice.

“In this world…”

“There is no regret medicine.”

“I thought it over.”

I answered without hesitation.

“I, To Tinh…”

“Just want to be myself.”

“I don't want to be anyone's adopted daughter.”

Having finished speaking, I bowed deeply before him.

“General Manager Vuong.”

“If you called me here today just for this…”

“So I think, I should ask permission to leave.”

“As for the contract…”

“Our company will try our best to make up for this mistake.”

“But if you still want to proceed through the legal process…”

“We will also frankly accept it.”

“Regardless of the outcome…”

“I still thank you for giving me a very valuable lesson today.”

Having finished speaking, I stood up straight. Turn around and prepare to leave. I don't care at all. I know every step I take out of this door is like walking on a steel wire. But I must go. That's the final limit. Also my pride. Just as my hand was about to touch the door handle. Suddenly, General Director Vuong's voice rang out from behind.

“Stop.”

My heart immediately tightened. My throat felt like someone was choking me. But I didn't turn back. Just stand still, with your back to him. Wait for the final verdict. It's thunderous anger...

“Contract.”

My whole body trembled violently. I slowly turned my head, looking at him in disbelief. I don't know when lawyer Ly brought part of the documents. It is a cooperation contract worth one hundred million that our company has been preparing for three months. He didn't look at me anymore. Instead, he reached into his pocket and pulled out an extremely ordinary-looking steel pen. Open the pen cap. Then, in the position of representing side B on the last page of the contract... Strongly signed down three words. The handwriting was so strong that it seemed to penetrate the entire surface of the paper. Carrying an arrogant aura that looks down on the world. After signing, he pushed the contract in front of lawyer Ly.

“Seal.”

"Yes... yes! General Manager Vuong!"

Lawyer Ly seemed to wake up from a dream and hastily took out the seal of Thien Vu Group from his briefcase. Carefully close it down. The moment the red mark landed on the paper. My heart finally returned to its original position. The contract is worth one hundred million. Something that almost caused the entire company to go bankrupt... Yet it was signed in such a wild way. General Manager Vuong raised his head and looked at me again. His eyes had returned to their original excitement and enjoyment.

“Do you know why I still signed in the end?”

I shook my head.

“When you rejected me earlier.”
