Chapter 7 — At this point, I don't need to act anymore

Mr. Truong did not hesitate. He took the pen and signed immediately.

"I believe Van Dinh."

The second guest also signed. Then the third person. Fourth person. The smile on Kieu Man's face... Disappeared little by little. I collect the contracts.

"Today I arranged this meeting..."

"The effect is really not bad."

Mr. Truong turned to look at her.

"Next time..."

"Don't use love to date us anymore."

"Doing business..."

"No one has enough face to follow such drama."

Kieu Man was about to burst into tears again. Mr. Truong stood up immediately.

"Don't cry."

"I also have a daughter."

"I really can't stand this kind of acting."

After the customers left... Trinh Nghien remained sitting in his seat. Immobility. Kieu Man said softly:

"Mr. Trinh."

"I just want to help you."

Trinh Nghien looked at her.

"You just made me lose the trust of four major customers."

Kieu Man immediately fell silent. I stood up.

"Ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Board of Directors Meeting."

Trinh Nghien raised his head and looked at me.

"This time..."

"What do you want to do?"

"Elect a new General Director."

The day of the Board of Directors meeting. That was also the last time Trinh Nghien tried to turn the situation around. He brought with him an old contract.

"Gentlemen."

"The first international order that year..."

"The contracting party is me."

"As for Hua Van's so-called merits..."

"At most, just help me translate a few emails."

"What the company has today..."

"It's thanks to me."

"It's not her."

A few Board members began to waver. Trinh Nghien immediately seized the opportunity.

"I admit..."

"My personal life is wrong."

"But the company..."

"It cannot be ruined because of personal matters."

Kieu Man, sitting in the audience row, immediately responded.

"How many years..."

"Mr. Trinh works until late every day."

"Everyone saw it."

Several veteran employees also nodded slightly.

"General Manager Trinh is really dedicated."

I remained silent. Don't rush to speak up. Luc Hanh Chu slowly stood up.

"Mr. Trinh."

"You said the first international order was thanks to you."

"You must be very familiar with the person in charge of the partner side that year."

Trinh Nghien immediately responded:

"Of course."

At that moment... The conference room door opened. A middle-aged woman walked in. Trinh Nghien's face immediately stiffened. Luc Hanh Chu introduced:

"This is Mrs. Luong."

"The person who was in charge of the partner company's Asia region that year."

Mrs. Luong looked at Trinh Nghien.

"General Manager Trinh."

"Long time no see."

Trinh Nghien forced a smile.

"Hello Mrs. Luong."

Ms. Luong calmly said:

"That year..."

"The reason I agreed to sign the contract."

"It's because of Miss Hua."

"Your quote has no advantage."

"The plan is also very normal."

"Miss Hua herself assured me."

"Say that you're someone who takes things seriously."

The whole meeting room... fell silent again. Ms. Luong continued:

"Moreover..."

"Three contract extensions later..."

"It was all directly discussed with me by Ms. Hua herself."

She looked straight at Trinh Nghien.

"General Manager Trinh."

"Not until now..."

"I still think..."

"I signed the contract because of you, right?"

Trinh Nghien's face... Extremely unsightly. Kieu Man could not bear it and spoke up:

"But the person who signed the contract is Mr. Trinh."

Mrs. Luong glanced at her.

"Signer..."

"It doesn't mean that person is the one who creates merit rush."

I looked at Trinh Nghien.

"You took credit for other people's work for too long..."

"So long that even I believed it was mine."

Trinh Nghien gritted his teeth.

"Do you have to trample me into the mud to accept it?"

I calmly replied:

"I didn't kick you down."

"It was from the beginning..."

"You were in the wrong place."

Voting officially begins. Final result. Luc Hanh Chu was appointed interim General Director. Officially holds the position of Executive Representative of the Board of Directors. As soon as the results are announced. Kieu Man jumped up.

"Not fair!"

A director coldly said:

"You have no right to speak."

She was about to speak up. But the staff invited me out. Standing outside the door, she still refused to shout loudly:

"Don't be so quick to get complacent!"

"Mr. Trinh will not leave this alone!"

I looked at her.

"First..."

"You should think about it."

"How to pass the re-examination of your recruitment profile."

Kieu Man's face immediately turned pale. Trinh Nghien was still sitting in the chair. He didn't move at all. After the meeting ends. He finally opened his mouth.

"Van Van..."

"You are wrong."

I stopped walking. He looked at me.

"I will break up with Kieu Man."

"About the baby..."

"I will also investigate clearly."

"We..."

"Can we start again?"

I looked at him.

"Trinh Nghien."

"Now I want to turn around."

"Not because you love me."

"You've lost your place."

Trinh Nghien's face stiffened.

"How could you think of me like that?"

I smiled softly.

"Because..."

"I finally see you clearly."
