Chapter 20 — Ex-Wife Takes Power

"I looked it up. He holds 35% of the shares in his name, of which 12% was used as collateral for a loan, the mortgagee is a foreign investment fund."

“In other words, the number of shares he can freely touch is only 23%.”

"Now he wants to use 5% for Qian Hui Lan. If he succeeds, he only has 18% left."

“Eighteen percent.”

“Yes. 12% less than you.”

I smiled.

“He's cutting his own flesh.”

"That's right. But don't forget, if he can really get Tien Hue Lan on his side, plus the resources in her hands and a few small shareholders she can influence, he has enough votes to convene an extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders."

“Let him gather enough.”

“Are you waiting again?”

“It's not waiting. It's preparing something.”

“What?”

"He always tells everyone that Tham Nhuoc Huyen truly loves him. Right?"

“Yes, he says that to everyone he meets.”

“That's good.” I said, “Get that recording ready.”

“Are you planning to use it at the Shareholders' Meeting?”

“No.”

"I want to wait for the moment he needs the belief 'Tham Nhuoc Huyen truly loves him' the most, right in front of everyone, and crush that belief."

“When?”

“When he actively mentioned her.”

Chapter 23 The extraordinary shareholders' meeting was arranged by Luc Canh Tham one week later. During this week, he had no free time at all. He officially signed an agreement to transfer 5% of shares to Tien Hue Lan, attracted three small shareholders, and gathered enough votes to propose. There is only one topic: Re-vote the candidate for Chairman of the Board of Directors. At the same time, Tham Nhuoc Huyen was not free at all. She changed her phone number, re-registered a new social media account, and posted an article. It was a photo of her and Luc Canh Tham together, an old photo, the background was a restaurant. The status line reads: "There are things that are not like what people see. He and I have never changed." Comment area is locked. But the screenshots still went viral. Someone combined this photo with the consumer histories that Han Tuyet Tinh previously exposed, with the words: "What version of true love is this? The 47,000 per post version?" Tham Nhuoc Huyen saw it. She then did something. That is to find Han Tuyet Tinh. Meet face to face. At a coffee shop in a shopping mall. Han Tuyet Tinh later texted me and told me the story.

“Last night she went to the hotel to look for Luc Canh Tham, and after going there, they had a big argument.”

"She asked me if I posted those screenshots. I said no. She didn't believe it, stared at me for a long time and then said: 'Tuyet Tinh, you're my best friend, you wouldn't treat me like that, right?'"

“So what?”

"I said: 'Nhuoc Huyen, I'll tell you the truth. I didn't post those photos. But what you did, it's not that I don't want to hide it for you. It's that I can't hide it anymore.'"

“What was her reaction?”

“She cried. Called me for betraying her. Said she thought I was the only one on her side.”

“After that?”

“Then she said something.”

“‘I'm with him, not just for the money. But the money, is actually a huge reason.'”

I Look at this message, don't reply. Tham Nhuoc Huyen's tears are real. But tears cannot change what she has done. It cannot be changed, the outcome she is about to face. Chapter 24 The night before the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders. Luc Canh Tham made an appointment to meet me. The location is not at the company, but in a private room of a quiet Japanese restaurant. I come. Ha Thanh Duong advised me not to go, I said it was okay.
