Chapter 16 — Contact Person Number One

"Boss Thuong said that the couple's joint project will not change for the time being."

“Doctor Diep needs to monitor his health at any time, so…”

I raised my hand to interrupt.

“Get rid of my position.”

The Secretary General was stunned.

“Boss Dung?”

“Diep Vi An moved to the medical advisor's seating area.”

“Thuong Du Bach stayed in Thuong Thi's guest area.”

“I sit next to Dung Thi's sponsor.”

His face turned pale.

"But the main banquet table was originally the couple's table..."

“There is no husband and wife party tonight.”

A familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind.

“Who says there isn't?”

I turned around. Thuong Du Bach was standing not far away. He was wearing a black tuxedo, his face looked much better than a few days ago. Diep Vi An followed him, wearing a long silver-gray dress, with the special advisor badge of Thuong Thi Medical Foundation on her chest. She saw the wound on my forehead and her eyes paused slightly.

“Boss Dung, is your wound better yet?”

“For now, it's okay.”

She pursed her lips and did not continue. Thuong Du Bach walked in front of me. His eyes lingered on my shoulder for a moment.

“The doctor allowed me to attend?”

“My doctor did not cancel my schedule on his own.”

Diep Vi An's face changed. Thuong Du Bach frowned.

"Gia Duong. Today is the official occasion."

“So I am adjusting the seat according to the official procedure.”

I looked at the Secretary General.

“Do I need to repeat it again?”

He immediately sent staff to take away the nameplate. Thuong Du Bach said in a low voice: "Dung Thi and Thuong Thi are organizing this party together. What do you mean by wanting to sit at the sponsor's table?"

“It means, from today onwards, Dung Thi is only a sponsor.”

“So what about the Joint Health Fund between husband and wife?”

“Terminated.”

He stared at me.

“I never discussed it with you.”

“When you changed emergency contact number 1, you didn't discuss it with me.”

Diep Vi An stood next to him and gently spoke: "Boss Dung, the charity fund is related to many patients and families. The personal conflict between you and boss Thuong should not affect public benefit projects." I turned to look at her.

“Does Dr. Diep understand Dung Thi's project very well?”

“I just think that charity work should not be influenced by emotions.”

“Very well said.”

I took a file from the assistant and gave it to her.

“This is Dung Thi's donation confirmation this year.”

“All pledged funds have been transferred to the account.”

“We won't take back a penny.”

Diep Vi An turned over the document, her expression frozen. I smiled softly.

“Cancellation of common naming does not mean abolition of charity.”

“Doctor Diep cares so much about his patients, he must be able to distinguish between name and money, which is more important.”

Her face turned white little by little. Thuong Du Bach looked at me.

“You must do these things today?”

“Today is very suitable.”

“The media, partners, and elders of both families are all present, do you think it is appropriate?”

“Because they are all present, it is even more important to clarify their identities.”

I glanced at the clock.

“Twenty minutes until the party starts.”

“Boss Thuong, go confirm your process first.”

I turned around to walk away Go. Thuong Du Bach held my wrist tightly. When I touched my right arm, I frowned slightly. He immediately let go.

“Sorry.”

I didn't speak up. He turned to look at Diep Vi An.

“You go to the counseling area first.”

Diep Vi An was stunned.

“Boss Thuong, your heartbeat…”

“You don't need to come along tonight.”

She stood rooted to the spot, her eye sockets quickly turning red. She didn't ask, just softly said: "Yes." Then turned around and walked away. The back is still as repressed as before. I watched her disappear.
