Chapter 4 — After That Night, You Became My Boss

Tham Tu Chau got out of the car and stood in front of me:

“Get in the car, I'll take you home.”

To Hao bowed his head and looked at Tham Tu Chau:

“Mr. Shen, I am To Hao of the technical department.”

Tham Tu Chau coldly glanced at him:

“In public places, don't entice your colleagues.”

Between two harmful things, choose the lighter one. I got into Tham Tu Chau's car. At the red light, Tham Tu Chau tilted his head and looked at me, his tone unpredictable:

“To Hao is your ex-boyfriend?”

I said yes. During the journey, Tham Tu Chau said nothing more. Looks like he's not in a good mood. In the company there were two great Buddhas, my motivation to go to work decreased a lot. Luckily, Director Ly went to another province for a meeting and wanted to take me with him. At that meeting there were many big people attending. Thinking that the day my thesis was completed was within reach, I immediately became enthusiastic again. I happily packed my luggage and went to the airport to meet Principal Ly. Arriving at the airport, I stood in the wind and was confused. Why are Tham Tu Chau and his assistant there? I look left and right:

"General, where is Director Ly?"

Tham Tu Chau:

“The laboratory has urgent matters that need him to handle, this conference I will attend.”

Me: “…” Tham Tu Chau is also quite good. He upgraded me and his assistant to first class. During the conference, Tham Tu Chau appeared on stage to speak. He wore a suit and stood on stage, speaking fluently, giving his opinions on the field of biopharmaceuticals. It can be seen that his professional capacity is very strong. The way of understanding is also very unique. There was an idea that inspired me to write my thesis. When we first met, he said his dream was to sing. Now, he is an outstanding person in the industry. Indeed, elite people stand out in everything they do. Listening for a while, my attention turned to his face. At that moment Tham Tu Chau looked towards me. Our eyes met in the air for a few seconds, I panicked and looked away. Strangely, my heart suddenly beat fast in an inexplicable way.

This academic conference lasts three days. Every day Tham Tu Chau has to go socializing. There are very few people like me who simply come to study. Most come to make friends. When the last day ended, Tham Tu Chau and I walked out of the hall together. The phone in my pocket vibrated several times. The display is To Hao. Since we met downstairs at the company that day, he has been texting me. I block WeChat, he uses DingTalk. I didn't answer the phone, he used the name of work to contact me. Vile little person. But his position is higher than mine, I have no choice. Tham Tu Chau saw the name on the screen and his eyes changed.

“Are you two still in contact?”

“Business communication.”

Tham Tu Chau was silent for a few seconds, then said again:

“Tonight I have to meet some big people in the industry, will you come?”

I quickly waved my hand:

“Don't go, don't go.”

During those social sessions, nothing was learned. I stayed at the hotel with the air conditioning on and wrote my thesis for two hours. Then go out to find local food. After returning from dinner, I happened to meet Tham Tu Chau, who had just returned from socializing in the hall. His vest was draped over his wrist. Seeing me, he walked straight towards me.

“Khuong Ha, where are you going?”

Tham Tu Chau's eyes were not very alert, he looked like he had drunk a lot. I replied:

“Looking for food.”

He suddenly advanced As I approached, the smell of perfume mixed with alcohol filled my nose. Surprisingly, it's not hard to smell. At this moment, To Hao called me again. Tham Tu Chau raised his hand to steal my phone and hung up. The atmosphere in the elevator suddenly became strange. Tham Tu Chau's room is right next to mine. I opened the door, turned around and raised my hand to wish him good night, but he had already barged into my room.

Tham Tu Chau forced me up to the door. When he opened his mouth, his voice sounded a bit sorry for himself.
