Chapter 3 — After the marriage was annulled, I withdrew all capital from his house

No blame. Nor is it comforting. The next day. The atmosphere in the company is extremely heavy. The news has spread everywhere. The quiet chatter never stopped. When I entered the meeting room... More than ten leaders in charge of important positions were seated. My father sat next to the chairperson. No one spoke up. They all looked towards me. I turned on the projector. Then calmly say:

“Category one.”

“Giang Thi's food street project.”

“Using up a huge land fund.”

“Total investment fifty billion yuan.”

“It takes at least a year to recover capital.”

“Second category.”

“Real estate development project.”

“High risk.”

“Profits are unclear.”

“There is even a possibility of losses.”

I stopped for a moment and then concluded.

“After comprehensive evaluation...”

“Recommend withdrawing all capital.”

“Cancel these two cooperation items.”

Someone immediately asked:

“If we withdraw capital now, will the outside world misunderstand that we are taking revenge?”

I calmly replied:

“Whether they misunderstand or not is their business.”

“The company has no obligation to bear these risks just in exchange for the gossip of outsiders.”

Secretary Vuong continued:

“The finance department has calculated.”

"If we withdraw capital, the pressure on the group's cash flow turnover in the coming time will be significantly reduced."

An elderly shareholder sighed softly.

"After all, the two families have had a relationship for many years."

“Is that... too urgent?”

I moved to the next PPT page and looked at him.

“Marketplace.”

“Just talking about business.”

My father spoke up:

“Vote.”

“Whoever agrees to withdraw capital should raise their hand.”

Soon... Except for a few elders who were still hesitant... Everyone else raised their hands in agreement. The meeting ended. Secretary Vuong stopped me.

“General Manager.”

“Mr. Giang just called.”

I called back. The other end of the line was silent for a long time. Then speak up.

“Van Van…”

“The Giang family is sorry for you.”

His voice was hoarse and heavy.

“It's all his decision.”

“He didn't tell anyone.”

“Go and register your marriage yourself.”

“Even the family was unaware.”

I didn't reply. Mr. Giang continued:

“The cooperation between the two companies...will not be affected?”

What he cares about most... It's still this. I calmly answered:

“Cooperation is cooperation.”

“An engagement is an engagement.”

“Every company project must serve the company's interests.”

The other end of the line was silent again. After a while, he asked:

“Have you decided to withdraw capital?”

“Recently, the company's cash flow pressure has been very great.”

“Calm down a bit.”

“Don't act on emotions.”

I replied softly:

“I'm very calm.”

“I never made any impulsive decisions.”

I hung up. Turn around... Dad is standing behind.

“Have you decided?”

“I have decided.”

“That's good.”

He looked at me. Then turned around and left. I turned to Secretary Vuong.

“Start implementing the following tasks immediately.”

"The first."

“Stop all investments in Giang Thi.”

“Recover all capital immediately.”

"Withdraw all bank guarantees that To Thi is guaranteeing for Giang Thi."

“At the same time, send risk warning documents to banks.”

“Pause all related loans.”

“Notify all partners, investors and others distribution unit.”

“In the near future, To Thi will not continue any form of cooperation with Giang Thi.”

“Any risks that arise after that…”

“They are responsible for themselves.”

“Yes, General Manager.”

“I will deploy immediately.”

Eight o'clock in the evening. My phone rings. It's Giang Du An. As soon as the call was connected... His voice was filled with anger.

“To Van…”

“What did you do?”

"Nothing."

“It was a decision made in a company meeting, the result after discussion by the board of directors. I must be responsible to To Thi.”

“I'm taking revenge on you! What does that mean?”

“That was the decision of the company meeting.”

“You decided to withdraw capital just because of me, right?”

“Have you carefully looked at the situation of those two projects?”

“I know you just registered your marriage and haven't taken over the company yet, how could you know!”

“Then go back and take a closer look. I am responsible for To Thi Group.”

After saying that, the other end of the line fell silent. A moment later, his hoarse voice came.

“You weren't like that before.”

“I've always been like that, you just never realized it before.”

After that, I hung up. Three days later. The morning meeting just ended.

“General Director, all capital withdrawals have been completed. Giang Thi Group's shares have dropped twenty percent and are currently continuing to plummet. Many partners have temporarily suspended or directly terminated cooperation with Giang Thi. Banks have also stopped disbursement because our company is no longer guarantor for Giang Thi, and is recovering previous loans. Currently, Giang Thi's internal affairs are extremely chaotic."

Secretary Vuong reported.
