Chapter 14 — After I Refunded the Plane Tickets
“Very similar to my biological daughter who has been gone for many years.”
“Just as stubborn.”
“So cute and stupid.”
His voice carried a gentleness and sadness that I had never heard before. I was stunned. I am not a substitute for anyone. Just for a moment... I reminded him of the most important person in his life.
“Take it.”
He gave me the signed contract.
“Go talk to that guy named Dong.”
“I, Vuong Thien Ba…”
“Not the kind of person who doesn't know how to speak sense.”
"His company has trash like Truong Vi and General Manager Liu. I look down on him."
“But his company has employees like you, To Tinh…”
“This contract…”
“I didn't just sign with his company.”
“But to sign with you.”
“In the future, all cooperation between Thien Vu Group and your company…”
“I only accept you.”
“That was my only contact at that company.”
“Other people are useless.”
“Including the guy named Dong.”
Every sentence he said... was more shocking than the previous sentence. This is no longer a normal contract. It's like a precious sword. He used an unquestionable method... Pushing my position in the company to a height that even General Dong could hardly shake. I held the heavy contract in my hand. My heart is filled with all kinds of emotions. Look at him for a long time. Thousands of words finally turned into just one sentence:
“Thank you, General Manager Vuong.”
“Thank you for what.”
He waved his hand.
“I will help you…”
“It's also helping myself.”
“A talented person like you…”
“If it is buried, it will be a loss for the entire business world.”
“Okay, stop standing there blankly.”
“Tell Mr. Ly to take you home.”
“In the future, if anyone dares to bully you…”
“Just tell me my name.”
“I want to see…”
“In this land of South China…”
“Who dares to touch the person who has my back, Vuong Thien Ba.”
I took that still-hot contract back to the company. Lawyer Ly took me downstairs and very respectfully opened the car door for me.
“Director To, see you soon.”
"See you again."
I stood and watched the number 8 Maybach speeding away. Then turn around and walk into the company lobby. When I came back… The entire first floor was filled with people. The person in my room. The person in the next room. People from other floors. It was completely black, as if waiting for a general to triumph. All eyes... All focused on the documents in my hand. The contract is worth one hundred million. The thing that decides the fate of all of them. Just saw me walk in. The crowd immediately automatically separated to the sides like Moses parting the sea. Give me a path leading to the elevator. No one said a word. The whole hall was so quiet that you could clearly hear each other's heartbeats. I looked straight ahead, moving forward step by step. The sound of high heels tapping on the stone floor echoed crisply and rhythmically. Each step seemed to step straight on everyone's nerves. Just as I was about to enter the elevator. General Dong stepped out from behind the crowd. On his face was an unprecedented bright smile. He walked in front of me. Personally press the elevator button for me. Then turn around to face the entire staff. The voice was resounding, filled with joy.
“I declare!”
“From today…”
“The cooperation between our company and Thien Vu Group has officially been achieved!”
“And the person who needs to thank the most…”
“It's our new market director — To Tinh!”
“It's her…”
“Relying on my own strength to turn the situation around…”
“Sign this life and death contract worth one hundred million to the company!”
His words just ended. Applause immediately exploded like thunder. Lasts endlessly.
“Director Su is so great!”
“Director Su is our savior!”
“Long live Director To!”
Cheers and slogans rang out continuously. I stood in the middle of the crowd. Enjoy that supreme glory. From this moment. My name — To Tinh. Will become an eternal legend in this company. The elevator arrives. President Dong personally invited me in. He even planned to go upstairs with me. The elevator door slowly closed. Right at the moment the door was about to close completely. A pitiful cry suddenly echoed from outside the company door.
"Oh Tinh Tinh! Dear To Tinh! Please raise your head and hit me softly!"
Everyone in the elevator froze. I turned my head to look out. I only saw two white-haired, simply dressed men and women being blocked by security outside the door. They cried and risked their lives to rush inside. Those two people... Are Truong Vi's parents. Why did they come here? I told General Dong. General Dong hesitated for a few seconds, then finally pressed the button to open the door. The elevator door opened again. As soon as Truong Vi's parents saw me, it was like seeing a life-saving straw. They broke away from the guard and staggered towards me.
“Thud” sound.
They both knelt down in front of me.
