Chapter 4 — Chess Game Grandfather's Will

My aunt's family did not leave immediately. In their eyes. They are the winners. Khuong Man raised his head high again. She stepped in front of me and said in a tone of grace:

“Khuong Van.”

“Look, isn't everything resolved well?”

“People are in the same family, why do they have to be so tense?”

“From now on, Hao Hao will be the president.”

“As a cousin, you should try to support your younger brother.”

“Don't worry, auntie won't treat you badly.”

Her speed of changing faces was faster than flipping through a book. I looked at her. It's like looking at a stranger. I smiled softly.

“I don't dare accept it.”

“I'm just a landlord waiting to collect rent.”

“I just hope my tenant...”

“Don't destroy the house too quickly.”

Khuong Man's face immediately turned red like pig liver. Vuong Kien Quan quickly stepped forward to mediate.

“Khuong Van, why are you talking to aunt like that?”

He pushed up his glasses. The eyes behind the glasses flashed with calculation.

“From now on, we will still be the same family.”

“The company still needs you to put in more effort.”

“Ah yes.”

“Now I'm a strategic consultant.”

“So this CEO office... should we give it to the new president?”

They finally revealed their true purpose. Can't wait to take over the space that symbolizes supreme power. Save me having to clean up after myself.

"Of course."

I nodded.

“I will go make arrangements right away.”

I didn't look at them again. But go straight to Ms. Tran who is waiting at the door.

“Miss Tran.”

“Help me pack up the office.”

“Personal items moved to my house.”

“Company records sealed and stored according to regulations.”

“Also, announcement down below.”

“Tomorrow morning at nine.”

“I will hold my first meeting as a strategic advisor.”

“Request all directors at department level or higher to prepare a detailed work plan report for the next three months.”

Ms. Tran was momentarily stunned. Then I immediately understood what I meant.

“Yes, Mr. Khuong…”

She paused for a moment then corrected her words.

“No, advisor Khuong.”

My order stunned Vuong Kien Quan and Khuong Man who were preparing to celebrate. Vuong Kien Quan frowned.

“Khuong Van, what do you mean?”

“Hao Hao is the president!”

“Based on what did you convene the high-level meeting?”

I turned around to look at him.

“Based on the fact that I have absolute veto power.”

“I need to understand the basic operating situation of the company.”

"Only then can we evaluate whether the new president's decisions will harm the long-term interests of the corporation."

“That is my responsibility.”

“It's also my authority.”

"Of course."

“If you think this request is unreasonable.”

“You can submit a complaint to lawyer Ly Minh's advisory team.”

I directly brought lawyer Ly Minh out as a shield. Vuong Kien Quan's face changed continuously. In the end, I still didn't dare say another word. He understood very well. Currently, he still does not have the strength to confront the other representative of the law. I looked at his angry appearance but did not dare to act. Completely calm inside. Thank you. Thank you for leaving me the most wonderful weapon. So that you don't have to dirty your own hands. Still able to witness them step by step... Going down the path of self-destruction. Step out of the meeting room. Ms. Tran followed behind. There was no one else in the hallway. Finally she couldn't hold it anymore.

“Advisor Khuong.”

“President... why did you do that?”

“Obviously he loves you the most.”

I stopped walking. Look at the familiar horizon outside the glass window.

“Because you know…”

“Human greed cannot be touched by love.”

“Instead of running out of advice.”

“Let's just give them a chance.”

“An opportunity to use their fastest speed to prove that they are truly incompetent.”

I smiled softly. The shadow of the deceased man appeared in the bottom of his eyes.

“That was also the last lesson he left me.”

“Teach me how to cut off rotten flesh…”

“Without carrying any emotions.”

I did not return to the familiar CEO's office. Instead, I asked Ms. Tran to take me down to another floor. It was a small independent office that had been abandoned for a long time. This place used to be my grandfather's office when he first started his business. Later, the company grew stronger and moved to a new building, which gradually became vacant. But my grandfather couldn't bear to remove it. He always maintains the status quo. He once said that people should not forget their roots. The room is very small. Just an old desk. A bookcase. And a window overlooking the garden below. Strangely quiet. Very suitable for an observer. Ms. Tran sent someone to move all my personal belongings here. While helping me arrange my things, she reported in a low voice:

"Advisor Khuong, as soon as you left the CEO's office, Vuong Kien Quan's family immediately took Vuong Hao there."

“I could still hear them cheering inside.”

“Khuong Man even called to hire someone to renovate the office.”

“Says you want to change it to some kind of European royal style.”

I can almost imagine that ridiculous scene.

“Just leave them alone.”

I calmly replied.

“That's right, how's the meeting announcement going?”

Ms. Tran's face became more serious.

“The notification has been sent down in full.”

“But... I heard some news.”

“Vuong Kien Quan is also calling each director.”

“He said the new president wanted to stabilize people's hearts and told everyone not to attend your meeting tomorrow.”

“He also hinted that the company will have a personnel adjustment in the near future.”

“Smart people know whose side to be on.”

I wasn't surprised. That is Vuong Kien Quan's style. The tricks cannot come to light. That is also the only management method he knows.

"I know."
