Chapter 15 — After Taking Mother Away, We Changed Our Lives

There was even a person claiming to be a lawyer who sent me a very long message... Saying that he was willing to provide free legal assistance to help us sue. I looked at the messages and calls pouring in from everywhere... My eye sockets kept turning red over and over again. It turns out that in this world... There really is so much gentleness. Finally, Bach Vi Giai could no longer sit still. At three o'clock that afternoon, they held an emergency press conference. Director Vuong wore a neat suit and sat on the podium speaking. His face was extremely unsightly, but he still tried to force a stiff smile. My mother and aunt Tran sat and watched the livestream of that press conference. It's like watching a ridiculous comedy.

“Regarding the recent false articles, our company deeply regrets.”

He faced the camera, speaking righteously.

“The company's contact with Ms. Ly Nguyet is merely a normal commercial exchange.”

“Purchase intention also comes from recognition of her products.”

“As for the so-called ‘malicious denunciation’…”

“It's a complete fabrication.”

“We also only received feedback from consumers.”

"Because of concerns about food safety, I reported it to the authorities."

"Ms. Ly Nguyet's factory does have problems with unlicensed business and unsanitary conditions."

“The decision to sanction the Market Surveillance Department is the clearest proof.”

“Bach Vi Giai, as a leading responsible enterprise in Dung Thanh…”

“There is an obligation to maintain healthy market order.”

“About the brand issue…”

“The name 'That Ly Huong' was created by our company as a research project half a year ago and submitted for legal registration."

“The entire process was legal.”

“For the defamatory acts of Chieu Dung Thanh Newspaper and reporter Tien Giai…”

“We have authorized lawyers to reserve the right to pursue legal liability.”

The whole speech... Avoid the heavy and look for the light. Inverted black and white. Turn them into defenders of the righteous market order. As for us... We are portrayed as a group of lawless, ungrateful people who do business illegally. Aunt Tran was so angry that she slapped her thigh hard.

“I despise!”

“I have met shameless people before…”

“But I have never seen anyone so brazen!”

My mother was also shaking with anger.

"Even if they say it's black, they can say it's white..."

“How dare they!”

And I was extremely calm. Because all those words... Were within my prediction. The more they try to brush off their relationship... the more they prove their guilt. Sure enough, the comment area of the livestream exploded.

“I believe your devil!”

“Do you think netizens are stupid?”

"The timing is completely inconsistent! People have been selling for half a year, why don't you research sooner or later? Just when they're popular, you guys will research successfully?"

“What about consumer feedback?”

“I am the consumer!”

“I respond that Bach Vi Giai's products are getting worse and worse!”

“Support mom's chili sauce!”

“Support girl Ly Nguyet!”

“Bach Vi Giai get out of Dung Thanh!”

Like a flood that nothing can stop. Directly collapsed the public relations wall that Bach Vi Giai tried to erect. Their press conference not only failed to clear anything up... It also became a joke, adding fuel to the fire. That afternoon, Bach Vi Giai stock immediately plummeted. I heard that some large supermarket chains temporarily took down their products to avoid trouble. This is just the first round. They won't let it go easily. Must also prepare weapons for the next battle. I reopened the other lawyer's message. Take a deep breath... Then call him.

“Hello, hello.”

“Is that lawyer Truong?”

“I am Ly Nguyet.”

Lawyer Truong's full name is Truong Vi. His law office is located in the most luxurious building in the city center. But the place he arranged to meet me... was the village in this dusty city. Right in Mr. Tran's pork sausage rice shop. When he arrived, the restaurant was crowded with customers. People filled the whole shop. He wore a straight suit and carried a briefcase. Completely incompatible with the surrounding scenery. But he didn't care at all. He ordered a portion of pork trotters rice... Along with a jar of our chili sauce. He ate very well. While eating, he nodded to Mr. Tran.

“Boss Tran.”

"If you eat your rice with Ms. Ly's chili sauce..."

“What a perfect match.”

Mr. Tran grinned, proudly puffing out his chest. Truong Vi looks to be in his thirties. Wear black framed glasses. His eyes are sharp but very gentle. After eating, he turned to look at me.

“Lady Ly.”

“Shall we talk?”

We found a quiet corner to sit down. I give you all the documents.
