Chapter 5 — Don't tease your wife

But I have the right to fight back. The company is located in a new urban office building. By the time we arrived it was almost three o'clock in the morning. The HR manager was still waiting for me in the office. Her last name is Lam, and she usually has a pretty good relationship with me, but today the way she looks at me is very complicated. In the meeting room there was also the department director. He pushed the tablet over. "Anh Tuyet, this has a huge impact." I glanced at it. In the company's internal group, someone forwarded that video dozens of times. Some people even dug up the photo of my workplace, commenting that I usually look so gentle, but I didn't expect to be so cruel. I asked: "How does the company plan to handle it?" The director cleared his throat. "There is still no official conclusion, but you should take a few days off first, wait for things to calm down." Thieu Ninh sat next to me and spoke up: "She is the victim, currently no agency has concluded that she broke the law. If the company uses public opinion to suspend her work, we will request a written explanation." The director's face was somewhat unsightly. "Lawyer Thieu, we also want the best for her. Okay." I opened my mouth. "I can ask for annual leave, but it won't mean suspension from work." Chief Lam glanced at the director. The director was silent for a few seconds, then nodded. "Then it will be settled on annual leave." Just as I was about to stand up, the conference room door was pushed open. The receptionist girl walked in with a pale face. "Director, there's a riot in the lobby." My heart sank. "Who?" She glanced at me. "A middle-aged woman, said to be Phuong's mother-in-law, carrying a banner, was sitting in the lobby crying." Thieu Ninh immediately stood up. "She came really fast." When we went downstairs, the first floor lobby was surrounded by quite a few people. Ma Thuc Mai sat on the ground, her hair hanging down, her hand clutching Ha Thua An's hospital clothes. The banner was spread out in front of her. On it was written: *A cruel daughter-in-law beats her husband, nature cannot tolerate it.* She cried and screamed at the employees who were watching. "Your company raises this kind of woman!" "She beats men, forces her mother-in-law, and even refuses to pay for medicine!" "Everyone come out and judge for me!" I stood at the elevator door, watching her act. As soon as she saw me, she slammed her hand on the floor. "Phuong Anh Tuyet, you finally showed your face!" In the lobby, people began to raise their phones. I don't hide. I walked in front of her, squatted down. "You came to the company to cause trouble, did Ha Thua An tell you to come?" Ma Thuc Mai's eyes blinked rapidly. "I came myself!" "Who made the banner?" "I made it!" "Who posted the video?" She gritted her teeth. "I don't know!" I nodded. "Then you continue." She was stunned. I stood up and said to the receptionist: "Report to the police." Ma Thuc Mai's face changed. "You called the police again! Besides reporting to the police, what else can you do?" I looked at her. "Know how to fight." The whole hall suddenly fell silent. Ma Thuc Mai retreated. I said again: “But now I obey the law.” Thieu Ninh almost burst out laughing. The police arrived very quickly. As soon as Ma Thuc Mai saw the police, she cried, saying she was just coming to demand justice, saying that I relied on the company's support to bully the elderly. The police asked her to put the banner away. She refused. She said unless I gave her money and apologized. The police officer's face darkened. "You are disturbing public order." Ma Thuc Mai was finally afraid. Before being taken away, she turned her head and glared at me. "Phuong Anh Tuyet, don't be complacent, Thua An will not forgive you!" I returned to the meeting room, the director's eyes looking at me had changed. He said: "Anh Tuyet, why don't you go back and rest first, we'll wait for the next things."

Conclusion from the police.” I nodded. When I left the company, the horizon was already bright. I stayed up all night, but didn't feel sleepy at all. Thieu Ninh pulled the car to the side of the road and asked me, "Where to next?" I replied: "Go home to get things." Thieu Ninh glanced at me. "Now?" "Now." I looked at the dawn gradually rising over the city. "The Ha family has started to act first, we can't leave the initiative to them." When we arrived at the apartment building, the front gate was finally deserted. The security guard saw me, his expression looked forced. "Miss Phuong, your family had a moving company there just now." My steps stopped. "Who's calling?" The security guard flipped through the registration book. "Mr. Ha's mother." I immediately went upstairs. The elevator door opened and I saw a few cardboard boxes piled up in front of my house. The door lock has been changed. As for my dowry jewelry box, it was lying in the arms of a strange man, who was walking out.06The man saw me and his steps stopped. I stared at the jewelry box he was holding. "Put it down." He evaluated me from head to toe. "Who are you?" Thieu Ninh walked up to me. "This is one of the owners of this house." He groaned. "Mrs. Ma said, the furniture in this house all belongs to the Ha family." I took a step forward.
