It turns out he also knows how to laugh comfortably and warmly. Just never for me. I recorded the video. When I got home, while he was fast asleep, I used his fingerprint to unlock the phone. In the photo library there is a hidden folder, the password is Tham Nhuoc Huyen's birthday. First picture: Sanya beach, he carried her through the water, she smiled and buried her face in his shoulder. Second picture: Swiss snow mountain, he knelt in the snow, hugged her face and kissed her, there was still frost on her eyelashes. Third photo: Under the Eiffel Tower in Paris, she held up a handwritten card that obscured half of her face, with "Wife, I love you" written on it. The time each photo was taken matched the nights he told me "the customer suddenly changed plans", "the flight was delayed", "going out to eat with investors". My marriage, was a three-year one-man show. As for me, I was the only audience member who couldn't buy a ticket. I deleted all the photos. Not because of softness. It's because you don't need it anymore. Those things just prove he's a bad guy. But what I need is not to make him kneel down and apologize. It's so that even if he wants to kneel, he can't find a place to kowtow. Chapter 5

“Early tomorrow morning he will land at Pudong.”

I withdrew my gaze and turned to Ha Thanh Duong.

“You are prepared to help me with two things.”

“First, notify all members of the Board of Directors to hold an emergency meeting the day after tomorrow.”

“Second, print the ‘Special Shareholder Resolution Proposal’ in eight copies, one for each person, including the three Council members appointed by him.”

Ha Thanh Duong stood up, her briefcase made a clicking sound as it closed.

“Understood. It's time to ask someone to stand up from the chair and make room.”

That's right. Luc Canh Tham, you've been sitting too long. The back of the chair is also worn out. Now, it's time to change people. The phone vibrates. I flipped it over to see, it was a screenshot of the friend circle post sent by Tham Nhuoc Huyen. In the photo, she stands in front of the Berlin Cathedral, wearing a light yellow coat and Hermes scarf. The status line read: "He said he would take me to see sunsets everywhere in the world. Day 137." More than twenty comments below, all in the same color "So happy", "So sweet", "Fairy love". Ha Thanh Duong tilted his head to look and smacked his mouth.

“She's not afraid either.”

“Afraid of what?” I locked the screen, "In her eyes, I'm just an ex-wife who signed the papers but hasn't given up her seat yet. She's waiting to see my antics."

“Then let her wait.” Ha Thanh Duong walked to the door and turned around. "The joke is there. We just don't know whose turn it is to laugh."

She left, the office fell silent. I reopened Thien Thinh's cooperation agreement and flipped through each page. Every term, every number, every handover timeline, it was all three months of effort that I personally went to meet with each side to negotiate each round, scrutinizing every word. The door that Luc Canh Tham spent five years unable to open, I used ninety days to push open. It's not because I'm smarter than him. It was because Phuong Dich Than refused to cooperate with him, not because Hang Nghiep was incompetent. But because of Luc Canh Tham himself, Phuong Dich Than doesn't care. As for me, Co Van Ninh, I was taught by my father. The reputation of the Co family in this world is worth a hundred times more than the suit on Luc Canh Tham. He just never paid attention to it. Chapter 6 The next morning, I received an unexpected call.

“Van Ninh, I heard that you have taken over Hang Nghiep?”

It's the voice of Aunt Tien - Tien Hue Lan. She is a senior in the industry, in the early years she worked on projects with my father, then opened her own investment company. The resources and human resources in her hands are more than half of them
