Chapter 23 — Ex-Wife Takes Power

“But before you vote, please think carefully about one question: Do you want to hand over your assets and interests to someone who spends the company's money on his mistress, throws the company's life into a safe and then runs abroad for half a year without caring about it?”

"Or should we give it to someone who signed a twenty billion contract in just two months, increasing Hang Nghiep's stock price by 7%?"

No one spoke up. Even the sound of the air conditioner sounds like the pause button has been pressed. Tien Hue Lan folded the documents in her hand, glanced at Luc Canh Tham, then looked back at me. Then, she stood up.

“I abstain.”

A sentence is like a stone thrown into calm water. Luc Canh Tham turned to look at her, his face filled with disbelief. “You promised me.” Qian Hui Lan looked at him.

"Canh Tham, I promised to vote for you. But I didn't promise to compensate you."

"I accepted the other 5% of your shares, thank you. But in today's vote, I abstained."

She sat down. The notary began counting the ballots. The results are not surprising. The number of votes opposing changing the current President completely overwhelmed the number of votes in favor. After the voting results were read out, I picked up my bag and stood up. As I passed Luc Canh Tham, I stopped for a moment.

“You gave away 5% of the shares for free.”

“Tien Hue Lan eats my meat, but won't bite someone else for me.”

"Luc Canh Tham, you didn't lose because of your ability. You lost because you didn't understand people's hearts."

"You can't even see through the people you sleep with, so on what basis do you claim to see through the people in the marketplace?"

He sat there, motionless. I turned and walked away. High heels clicked on the marble floor, one step after another. No one talked to him. Chapter 26 The second day after the Shareholders' Meeting, Tham Nhuoc Huyen came to find Luc Canh Tham. Not at the company. It's at the hotel where he's staying. This story was told to me by Han Tuyet Tinh.

“Last night she went to Luc Canh Tham's hotel, and after entering there, they had a big argument.”

“What are you arguing about?”

"Luc Canh Tham asked her about the recording. Asked her what she meant by 'biting a piece of Hang Nghiep's meat'. Asked her if she had planned to take advantage of him from the beginning."

“What did Tham Nhuoc Huyen say?”

"At first she was crying. She said the recording had been edited and distorted. Luc Canh Tham didn't believe it. Then she panicked and shouted: 'You think it's easy for me to follow you for three years? Do you know how much pressure I have to endure when you're not here?'"

“What happens after that?”

“Then Luc Canh Tham said: 'I gave you six million yuan, but you didn't even tell me the truth.'”

“Tham Nhuoc Huyen's reaction?”

“Tham Nhuoc Huyen said: 'So how much is the bowl of noodles you gave your wife to eat?'"

I put down the phone. This last sentence of Tham Nhuoc Huyen is true. But true words are different from true hearts. She was able to say that because she saw through the nature of this relationship earlier than Luc Canh Tham. She is with him, not because of love. It's about getting things she can't get elsewhere. When the supply of those things is cut off, her “love” also expires. Things happened after that, faster My prediction. Within three days, Tham Nhuoc Huyen moved out of Luc Canh Tham's apartment in Pu Dong. She didn't argue, didn't make a fuss, just quietly packed her things and called a moving vehicle. When she left, she left a sentence for the building management: "In the future, parcels and food delivered to this apartment, don't write my name down again."
