Chapter 9 — After Winning 4.8 Million Yuan, I Realized Home Is A Place To Return To

"I really didn't dare mention those things before. But now you just say them all. They only prove how far I've come, not that I'm inferior to anyone."

There were more and more people watching outside the door. When Trinh Man turned around to leave, he was confronted by the head of the human resources department. He said coldly:

"Outsiders are not allowed to enter the work area without permission. In addition, the false news you posted has affected the reputation of company employees. Please delete it immediately."

Trinh Man gritted his teeth.

"Delete it, delete it. Who wants to keep it?"

She deleted the post on the spot, but before leaving, she didn't forget to leave a sentence:

"Cousin, do you think you can get a project after quitting your job? La Thien has already told everyone in the industry your story."

"Do we really want to do it ourselves?"

Lam Thu placed a cooperation agreement in front of me. This is the third day after I quit my job. She arranged to meet two more acquaintances, one in charge of project implementation, the other in charge of working with customers. Luong Man introduced us to a small project, renovating a bookstore in a residential area. The total contract value is only 120,000 yuan. Lam Thu looked at me and asked:

"All three of your houses are rented, right? So where are you planning to put the office?"

"The apartment in the Thanh Dong area is still vacant."

"Aren't you planning on moving in there?"

"The house has two bedrooms. For now, one room will be used as an office."

Tran Phong, the person in charge of implementation, hesitantly asked:

"If the project is not successful, where will our salary come from?"

"I have prepared enough operating costs for six months."

"Taken from lottery winnings?"

I shook my head.

"No. Use my savings."

"The bonus and the three houses will not be included in the company's assets."

Lam Thu nodded.

"It was clear from the beginning that it was good."

I pushed the three cooperation agreements in front of everyone.

"The books will be published every month. Profits will be divided according to the agreed ratio."

I paused for a moment then continued:

"One more thing..."

"Whoever does it, his name will be recorded."

Tran Phong burst out laughing.

"This last thing must have been harmed by the old company so we learned from it, right?"

I also laughed.

"And it's also a principle that we must keep in the future."

At that moment the doorbell rang. The broker led a woman standing outside.

"Miss Hua, sorry to bother you. This customer said he has already paid a deposit to rent this apartment."

I looked at the broker.

"I never agreed to rent."

He awkwardly explained:

"It was Ms. La who introduced her. She said she was managing the apartment on behalf of the landlord."

The woman took out her phone. The person receiving the deposit... is La Thien. I immediately called her.

"Why did you take the deposit for my house?"

"Which house?"

"Gia Vien Thanh Dong area, building number 12."

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds.

"Trinh Man said the apartment belonged to her relatives and asked me to find a tenant."

"The certificate of ownership is in my name."

"Then go find Trinh Man."

I made an appointment for both of us to meet in person. Half an hour later, Trinh Man appeared. As soon as she entered the door, she spoke first:

"I just want to help you rent it out. Leaving the house empty is a waste."

"Who gave you permission to do that?"

"My mother said I have many houses, but she probably doesn't care."

The tenant immediately impatient.

"Who will refund my deposit?"

La Thien replied:

"I transferred the money to Trinh Man."

Trinh Man immediately objected:

"You only transferred 3,000 yuan, and the 2,000 yuan is still with you."

Two people stood in the middle of the room arguing. I put the entire transfer history on the table.

"Each person refunds the exact amount they received."

La Thien glared at Trinh Man.

"You said you had the right to decide."

Trinh Man is not suitable either.

"And you said you would help my cousin with a long-term rental."

Lam Thu turned to the guest.

"They have absolutely no right to rent this house."

"You have the right to request a full refund of the deposit."

"The landlord will also confirm this in writing."

The broker kept bowing his head and apologizing. After receiving enough money back, the customer can leave with peace of mind. But Trinh Man still stood in place.

"Is it okay if I lend you a house to get married?"

I calmly looked at her.

"Nothing."

"It's just not possible."

"But you have three senses."

"Three senses..."

"...all mine."

La Thien stood next to her and smirked.

"Hua An Nhien, even your biological cousin has to be careful. Who else will dare to cooperate with you in the future?"

Lam Thu picked up the cooperation agreement.

"Whether we dare or not is our problem."

"At least An Nhien won't take someone else's house to get a deposit."

Tran Phong opened the door.

"You two have already finished your refund."

After they left, I changed the entire door lock password to Thanh Dong's apartment, telling only group members. The blanket still had its tags intact and had been in the closet for so long... I finally peeled it off. That was the first time... I actually lived in my own house.

"Your group has no company experience, we don't dare to assign this project."

The bookstore owner pushed the return plan. Sitting next to him... is La Thien. She also quit her job at the old company and joined Chu Khai's new project team. La Thien smiled.

"An Nhien, feelings are feelings."

"For projects, we have to look at capacity."

I looked at the boss.

"What are you worried about?"

"I heard that the Van Khe Square project had an incident."

"Who told you?"

La Thien immediately interjected:

"Everyone in the profession knows."
