Chapter 7 — After the Day You Betrayed, I Found Myself

Chu Minh Hien tightened the bouquet of flowers in his hand. Lips moving. Don't know how to respond. I smiled faintly.

"On the contrary..."

"Have you thought it through?"

"If your mother asks..."

"How are you going to explain it to her?"

I turned around and entered the building. As for that bouquet of flowers... Where it ended up being thrown away, I don't know. Just know... He never had a chance to walk through my door. But... It's not over yet. Lam Tu Vu's side... Much noisier than I thought. The post in my circle of friends... Spread among wedding planners like ripples on water. Chu Minh Hien is a photographer specializing in wedding photography. Operating in the city's wedding market. The career circle is not large. There are many acquaintances. Just mention his name... Most people know who he is. And Lam Tu Vu... is a planning assistant at a wedding event company. In other words... She and I are considered people of the same profession. At that moment, To Dao called. The voice was full of gloating.

"Nhuoc Tinh."

"Do you know what relationship Lam Tu Vu has with your company?"

I hold the phone. Suddenly I felt... An invisible string was slowly tightening.

"She is the cousin of Assistant General Manager Ngo."

"I used to come to your company to work with customers."

"At that moment..."

"She knows Chu Minh Hien."

To Dao paused for a moment then continued:

"Nhuoc Tinh..."

"The two of them met each other right at the event organized by your company."

I sat quietly on the chair. It took a few seconds for him to speak.

"What do you mean..."

"When Chu Minh Hien came to the company, I accepted a photography contract..."

"He knew Lam Tu Vu?"

I gently closed my eyes. Each incident in the past gradually appeared clearly. I was the one who introduced Chu Minh Hien to the company. Help him get his first photography contract. Thanks to that opportunity, he got many more customers. The name is also gradually becoming known to many people. And Lam Tu Vu... Is the cousin of Assistant General Director Ngo. The two... Also knew each other since that time. Thinking about this... I suddenly burst out laughing. Their love affair. Blooming again... On the very path that I personally opened for Chu Minh Hien. The other end of the line was silent for a long time. To Dao cautiously asked:

"Nhuoc Tinh..."

"Are you okay?"

"I'm okay."

I calmly replied.

"I was just thinking about something."

"What's going on?"

"Should General Director Ngo know about this?"

To Dao was stunned.

"Are you going to denounce them?"

I shook my head.

"In the past, I was the one connecting the two sides."

"Now that something like this has happened..."

"I must warn him in advance."

"If the Assistant General Director or Lam Tu Vu does anything in the future that affects the company's service purchasing process..."

"At least we're not passive."

To Dao was silent for two seconds. Then burst out laughing.

"Nhuoc Tinh."

"What is this move called?"

I calmly replied:

"Block the way out."

The next day. I made an appointment to meet General Director Ngo. He is over fifty years old. As a person who has traveled to many places and experienced life very deeply. It is difficult for anyone to guess his thoughts. But up until now... He has always appreciated me very much. He once said... I'm quick. Know how to handle situations. Brave enough to handle the job. I told you everything. Don't hide anything. From how Chu Minh Hien met Lam Tu Vu. Up to two photocopies of the marriage certificate. And then the above post circle of friends. During that process... I didn't cry. No agitation. Just calmly present the truth. General Manager Ngo put down his cup of tea. Silence for a long time. Finally asked:

"You mean..."

"The two of them met each other through cooperation with our company?"

I nodded.

"I wanted to warn you."

"If someone brings this up to discuss in the future..."

"At least the company is not in a passive position in cooperating with the photography team."

He nodded slightly.

"I got it."

"Go back to work."

"Her behavior is very calm."

"Not bad."

I stood up. Just walked to the door. Behind him, General Director Ngo's voice rang out.

"Nhuoc Tinh."

"Collaborating with that photographer..."

"Pause."

"Let someone else be in charge."

I'm back.

"Yes, Mr. General Director."

Since that week. Chu Minh Hien's entire photography contract with the company... has been stopped. It's not because I'm looking for someone to make things difficult for him. It's simple... The company has a new photography partner. Later, To Dao told me. Lam Tu Vu's cousin caused a stir at the company. Think I'm taking personal revenge. Also ran to meet Assistant General Director Ngo.
