Chapter 10 — Ex-Wife Takes Power

I don't laugh. Just moving his lips, saying three words wordlessly. He definitely gets it. Because his whole body was shaking. And what I'm talking about is —— Chapter 11

“Welcome back.”

I turned towards Luc Canh Tham, my lips moved, the sound was swallowed by the noise of the press conference scene, but his face had collapsed. Not anger, but something deeper. It's the moment a person suddenly discovers that the land he's been standing on for the past three years has actually always been in the palm of someone else's hand. Phuong Dich Than tilted his head and glanced at Luc Canh Tham, his voice calm as if he were discussing the weather.

“Wow, Mr. Luc, you've been exposed to the sun a lot.”

Luc Canh Tham didn't pay attention to him. His eyes were fixed on me, his voice hissed through his teeth: "Co Van Ninh, you're crazy."

“Not crazy.” I stood on the steps, looking down at him from above, "I'm awake."

Reporters spotted him. A group of people carrying microphones rushed forward, the flash flashing into a dazzling white strip.

"General Luc! What do you think about Ms. Co taking on the position of Chairman of Hang Nghiep?"

“General Luc, are the pictures online of you and Ms. Tham real?”

“General Luc!”

He was stopped in place by the microphone and lens, in a dilemma. The vest is wrinkled, the beard is jagged, the suitcase is tilted to one side. He wanted to open his mouth, but before the first word was uttered, three more microphones were pointed straight at his face. I don't look at him anymore. Turning around and entering the building, the sound of shoe heels was isolated by the glass door behind. The press conference started on time. I sat in the middle of the chair table, Phuong Dich Than sat in the guest chair on the right. More than forty media units, plus Hang Nghiep's middle and senior managers, no longer had a vacancy.

“Good morning everyone.”

My voice came through the microphone, steady, clear, without any excess emotion.

"I am Co Van Ninh, the new Chairman of Hang Nghiep Group. At today's press conference, I only announced one thing."

"Hang Nghiep Group and Thien Thinh Group officially reached a strategic cooperation agreement, the two sides will establish a joint venture and participate in bidding for the national key project - 'Van Cam Project'."

There was a stir under the podium. The sound of camera shutters clicking continuously, several executives of Hang Nghiep whispering to each other, some people's mouths are open and cannot be closed. Phuong Dich Than picked up the microphone and said just one sentence.

“Miss Co's commercial vision and execution ability are the only reasons why I am willing to cooperate with Hang Nghiep.”

As soon as this sentence fell, there was silence below for two seconds. Then the sound of cameras clicking was even louder than before. The press conference ended, I walked out of the hall, and saw Luc Canh Tham at the end of the hallway. I don't know how he got in, probably through the back door. Leaning back against the wall, suitcase still pulled next to her, her whole body looked like she had just been showered with rain.

“Co Van Ninh.”

He called my name, his voice was hoarse.

"You gave the company to Phuong Dich Than? Do you know what kind of person he is?"

“I don't give the company to anyone.” I stopped, two meters away from him. "I got the company back. Got the part that belongs to me back."

“Belongs to you?” He smiled, a very unsightly smile, “This company was built by me with nothing——”

“Empty handed?” I interrupted him.

"Your 'empty hand' is my father's twenty-five million yuan."

“Your 'build' is to use 30% of the shares under my name as leverage for the first round of capital raising.”

"Every coin under the chair you sit on bears the surname Co."

His lips trembled, speechless. I walked around him and continued walking.

“Ah yes.” I didn't look back, "That safe, I changed the password."
