Chapter 16 — After Taking Mother Away, We Changed Our Lives

He watched extremely carefully. Every sheet of paper. Every timeline. All confirmed over and over again.

“The situation is more complicated than I thought…”

“But it's not like there's no chance.”

He closed the document and looked at me.

“Let's talk about the hardest problem first.”

"Trademark."

“Bach Vi Giai registered successfully.”

"According to the legal process, they are currently the legal owners of the 'That Ly Huong' brand."

“If you want it back…”

“There is only one path.”

“Submit a request for declaration of invalidity to the National Trademark Appraisal Council.”

“We have to prove…”

“Bach Vi Giai used improper tricks to steal the trademark registration that was already being used by others and had a certain influence.”

“Our advantage is that we have a lot of evidence.”

“Prove it before they apply…”

“People have widely used the name 'That Ly Huong'.”

“Including night market sales.”

"Importation orders from Mr. Tran and restaurants."

“With all the news this time.”

“Everything can be proven…”

"The brand 'That Ly Huong' is closely tied to the story of mother and daughter."

“This road will be very long.”

“It could take a year, even longer.”

“And there is no guarantee of absolute victory.”

His voice was clear and surprisingly logical.

“So while we haven't regained our brand yet…”

“Can't we continue production?”

I asked impatiently.

“That's the second problem.”

“Production license.”

“The decision to sanction by the Market Surveillance Department is legal.”

“Because everyone is doing business without permission.”

“So the most urgent thing now…”

“It means finding a qualified factory and then immediately applying for a food production license.”

“Just start following this process…”

“Even though the license has not been issued yet…”

“So from a legal perspective, we have taken the initiative.”

“As for the brand name…”

“Before the lawsuit comes to fruition, everyone can use the name ‘Mother's Chili Sauce'.”

“Now this name…”

“Even more famous than 'That Ly Huong'.”

Those words… Like a bright light in my head. They can rob "That Ly Huong". But "Mother" cannot be taken away.

“Mother's Chili Sauce”…

This is our true soul.

“Lawyer Truong…”

“But we… don't have money to rent a factory.”

I said a little awkwardly.

“Money problem…”

“That is also the most important reason I came to find you today.”

He smiled lightly and took out another set of documents from his briefcase.

“Lady Ly.”

“Now you are a famous person in Dung Thanh.”

“Her story represents the resilient spirit of people at the bottom.”

“A lot of people want to help you.”

“I have two letters of intent to invest here.”

“On one side is the Dung Thanh Youth Startup Support Fund.”

“They are willing to lend you 300,000 yuan without interest.”

“The other side is an investment company called Thanh Son Capital.”

“They want to invest 1,000,000 yuan in exchange for 20% of the shares.”

“At the same time, help her solve all production and distribution channel issues.”

My heart immediately started pounding. 300,000 yuan interest-free loan. 1,000,000 yuan investment. These are all numbers that I never dared to think about before. Happiness came so suddenly... It made me a little confused.

“Lawyer Truong…”

“What… should I choose?”

“This must be decided by you.”

Truong Wei pushed two The documents came before me.

“An interest-free loan means you are still completely the owner.”

“But the pressure later will be huge.”

“You must bear the entire risk yourself.”

“Still accepting investment…”

“Which means you will have an extremely strong partner.”

“They have resources and relationships.”

“It might help you go faster.”

“But at the same time…”

“You will also lose some control of the company.”

“I think…”

“You can try talking to both sides.”

“Especially Thanh Son Capital.”

“I investigated for you.”

“Their founders also came from nothing.”

“Reputation in the industry is very good.”

“They specialize in supporting startup brands.”

I looked at the two documents on the table... I just felt heavy. This is no longer a simple choice. It's deciding the future path of me and my mother. At that moment, my phone rang. Is a chili supplier in foreign provinces.

“Lady Ly!”

“The sample you need will arrive this afternoon!”

“I sent you three of the highest quality as requested.”

“Let's see which type is most suitable!”

After hanging up the phone... I felt full of energy. Raw materials are available. Money and factory issues also began to see hope. Regarding the law... We also have a professional to guide us. All roads seemed to be connected in that moment. I looked at Truong Vi and said extremely seriously:

“Lawyer Truong.”

"Thank you."

“I decided…”

“Will talk to both sides.”

“I want to use the fastest speed…”

“Let 'Mother's Chili Sauce' stand up again!”
