Chapter 20 — Being Slagged by My Mother-in-Law in the Crowd, I Turned to Sell the House

“I… I waited for you for two years.”

“I watch you step by step out of the darkness of the past.”

“Becoming more and more brilliant.”

“Getting stronger and stronger.”

“I'm really proud of you.”

“I just wanted to ask…”

“In the commercial empire you built with your own hands, in that dazzling world…”

“There's still one person missing…”

“Can you protect all of this for me?”

His voice carried a slight tremor. I looked at him. Look at the sincere and hot sea of stars in those eyes. My heart… That moment was shaken violently. I laughed. Not a social laugh. It's a truly relieved smile from the bottom of my heart.

“Tran Khai.”

“My world doesn't need knights to protect it.”

“You are my queen.”

I saw the light in his eyes suddenly dim a little. Then I continued.

“But your kingdom…”

“There is still a lack of a king who can stand next to you and admire the scenery.”

“I don't know you…”

“Are you interested in applying for this position?”

His eyes instantly brightened. Brighter than the stars in the sky. He was so excited that he looked like a child, continuously nodding his head vigorously.

“I'm interested!”

“I'm extremely interested!”

Looking at his flustered appearance, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. It's time to be brave again. Just when I thought my life was about to have a perfect ending with both love and career... A phone call pulled me out of that beautiful peaceful space, once again returning to the turbulent battlefield. The call came from a leader of the provincial culture and tourism department. He told me some extremely shocking news. The government intends to turn the island where we are staying into a leading international tourist resort island. The biggest piece of cake. A super cultural tourism complex integrating hotels, amusement parks and duty-free commercial areas with a total investment capital exceeding 10,000,000,000 yuan... About to be publicly bid nationwide.

“General Manager Wen.”

“Your ‘Thousand Miles of Clear Sky’ is an excellent locally developed enterprise, which we highly value.”

“This project is for you guys…”

“It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

“Once won…”

"You will transform into a dragon in one step and become a leading corporation in the field of cultural tourism in the country."

Those words... Made my heart churn violently. This is enough opportunity to change the entire corporation's destiny. Must win it. When holding in hand the list of businesses that have passed the preliminary, confidential review round. My pupils suddenly shrank sharply. In the list... In addition to some of the leading real estate and cultural tourism corporations in the country. A name that was both familiar and strange... It caught my eye.

“Long Dang Group.”

The leading local corporation in the past... I was forced to back down by using a USB stick two years ago. But in the column of chairman of the board of directors... there is a name that I will never forget. Long Khieu. I felt like I saw his cold, gloomy eyes again. I put down the file. Slowly walk to the ground-level glass door in the office. Looking at the deep blue sea outside. The corner of my lips curled up into a cold smile full of fighting spirit. Long Khieu. The debt between us has not yet been calculated. This new war… Perhaps even more interesting than I imagined. The appearance of Long Khieu… Like one A large rock was thrown into the calm lake surface. It's no longer the old Wen Qing, just a little turbulence causes panic. The corners of my lips even carried a faint smile. Tran Khai saw my difference. He took the list of bidding businesses. When his eyes stopped on the four words "Long Dang Group"... His eyebrows immediately furrowed. Tran Khai's voice was a bit heavy.

“This person…”

“It's not easy to deal with.”

I raised my coffee cup and took a small sip.

“Two years ago…”

“He lost to me once.”

“He will lose even more miserably.”

My voice is calm. But also full of confidence. That confidence... It's not blind ambition. It comes from the strength, relationships and foundation I have accumulated over the past two years. Tran Khai looked at me. The worry in his eyes was gradually replaced by something called "trust".

“What do you want to do…”

“I will do that.”

“Let's play with him until the end.”

The following days... The entire "Ten Thousand Miles of Heaven Group" entered the highest state of combat preparation. We set up a separate bidding team. I directly hold the position of team leader. Tran Khai and Luc Vien hold the positions of deputy team leaders. All the elite talents in the corporation were mobilized here. We stay up day and night... Analyze all project data. From geological survey reports... To market consumption data. From design planning options... to post-production operating models. Every detail... We mull over it over and over again, trying to reach perfection. This is an extremely difficult battle.
