Chapter 1 — At this point, I don't need to act anymore

At that moment, footsteps were heard outside the meeting room door. Kieu Man pushed the door and walked in.

"Mr. Trinh, why isn't the meeting over yet? I feel a bit uncomfortable."

Seeing the whole room full of people, then seeing me sitting in the chair... Her face immediately turned pale. I looked at her.

"Miss Kieu came at the right time."

"Sit down and listen."

The legal department placed another set of documents on the table.

"Ms. Kieu Man's recruitment profile shows signs of fraud."

"The master's degree from a foreign university that she claimed in her profile has been verified."

"The school responded that she only completed a language course, and did not get a master's degree at all."

Kieu Man immediately panicked.

"You lie!"

I calmly looked at her.

"You can call to verify with the school right now."

The shareholders began to whisper. Trinh Nghien tried to suppress his anger.

"Hua Van, that's enough."

I coldly replied:

"It's not yet the part that scares me the most."

The lawyer took out another piece of paper.

"This is the result of Ms. Kieu Man's pregnancy test yesterday."

Kieu Man immediately rushed forward to grab it. But Uncle Chau stood in front of her. I spoke slowly:

"Eight weeks pregnant."

"Trinh Nghien..."

"Do you have anything else to explain?"

Looking at the stack of documents piled up in front of him, Trinh Nghien's lips trembled slightly.

"That's my personal matter."

I nodded.

"So now I officially inform you."

"Kiss, I will divorce."

"Company..."

"I will also investigate to the end."

Trinh Nghien suddenly pointed straight at me.

"Hua Van, don't force me."

"Without you, the Trinh market would immediately be in chaos."

I calmly asked:

"On what basis do you think..."

"Van Dinh can't find a second person to replace the General Director position?"

Suddenly, a deep male voice rang out outside the meeting room.

"Miss Hua, the temporary person in charge nominated by Van Dinh has arrived."

A man wearing a dark suit entered. As soon as he saw him... Trinh Nghien's face immediately turned pale.

"Luc Hanh Chu?"

The man looked towards me, bowed slightly.

"Miss Hua, I'm late."

I smiled.

"It's not late."

Trinh Nghien stared at the two of us, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Hua Van..."

"Since when have you known him?"

Luc Hanh Chu calmly spoke:

"General Manager Trinh, five years ago, your first international order was because Ms. Hua asked me to arrange it."

"Just because I don't know... doesn't mean it hasn't happened before."

The entire meeting room simultaneously inhaled a cold breath. Kieu Man held tightly to the chair. Trinh Nghien's voice became hoarse.

"Hua Van... how many things are you hiding from me?"

I calmly looked at him.

"Don't you really want to know?"

"Then I will tell you today."

"My true identity is..."

"The only heir of Van Dinh Capital."

As soon as he finished speaking, the documents in Trinh Nghien's hand fell onto the table. The first person to speak was not him. It's Kieu Man.

"No way!"

I looked at her.

"Didn't you hear clearly just now?"

Luc Hanh Chu pushed an appointment decision in front of Trinh Nghien.

"General Manager Trinh."

"According to the urgent resolution of the Board of Directors..."

"From this point on, you are officially suspended from your position as General Director."

Submit Nghien suddenly stood up.

"You guys have no qualifications!"

Uncle Chau slowly replied:

"More than half of the shareholders have signed on."

I calmly added:

"You may not be convinced."

"But from today, I no longer have the right to represent Trinh Thi to make any decisions."

Kieu Man panicked and grabbed Trinh Nghien's sleeve.

"Mr. Trinh, say something."

Trinh Nghien shook her hand away.

"Shut up!"

Kieu Man stood still. The person he was protecting just now... In the blink of an eye, he became the burden he wanted to get rid of the most. I looked at the two of them.

"Trinh Nghien."

"This is just the first debt."

Trinh Nghien turned his head to look at me.

"Hua Van, let's go home and talk."

I coldly replied:

"I don't have a home to go back to with you."

He lowered his voice.

"Six years of love..."

"Do I have to be that cruel?"

I looked straight into his eyes.

"When you secretly got someone else pregnant behind my back..."

"Have you ever thought about those six years?"

Trinh Nghien was completely silent. A shareholder spoke coldly:

"General Manager Trinh."

"The company needs an explanation."

Trinh Nghien's face was sometimes red and sometimes white.

"How have I contributed to the company for so many years..."

"Have you all forgotten?"

I picked up the tape recorder.

"Then..."

"Listen to what I said about the company."

The recording sounded. In it, Trinh Nghien said he was bored with me a long time ago. He said that even without me, the International Sales Department would still operate normally. He also said... Van Dinh's money is easy to get. Every sentence, every word... It's clear without missing a word. The faces of the shareholders became more and more unsightly. Kieu Man took a step back.

"Mr. Trinh..."

"I didn't force you to say those words."

Trinh Nghien suddenly turned to her.

"Now you want to clean up the relationship?"
