Chapter 1 — Father Wants to Divide His Estate, But the Whole Group Is in My Name

Having just signed a contract worth 30 billion yuan, when I got home I saw my father dividing the estate with his stepson. The day the contract worth 30 billion yuan was officially signed, I was in an extremely good mood. Tan Tu stood next to him, tidying up the contract, while I leaned back in my chair, thinking about whether I should eat hot pot or Japanese food tonight. At that moment, the housekeeper called.

"Miss, the boss has... brought the young master back from outside."

"And said that tonight there will be a family meeting to divide the estate."

After listening, I burst out laughing. Divide the estate? Share what? This entire corporation, from the first share certificate to the last screw, all bears my name. As for Tham Quoc Luong, at best he is only a director in name. I put down the phone, turned to Tan Tu and said:

"Go, go home and watch the play."

When the contract signing ceremony worth 30 billion yuan ended, the entire auditorium stood up and applauded. General Director Trieu, sitting opposite, proactively reached out to me and smiled warmly.

"President Tham, I hope you will take more care of me in the future."

I shook his hand and smiled politely. Tan Tu stood behind holding a stack of contracts and said softly:

"President Shen, this is the third contract this quarter to surpass 100 million yuan. How about we celebrate tonight?"

"Okay. Tonight I'll treat the whole room to a delicious meal."

Today I'm in a really good mood. Three years after taking over the group, I finally doubled revenue. Everyone says Tham Tri Du is the new star of the business world. But very few people know that behind that "new star" there is a father who is so useless that he can't help anything. The phone in my pocket vibrated three times. It's the butler, Uncle Ly.

"Eldest lady."

Uncle Ly's voice sounded very strange... like he was trying not to laugh? No, it's stressful.

"What's up?"

"This afternoon the boss brought a young man home. He said... said..."

"It's his adopted son from outside, right?"

The other end of the line was silent for two seconds.

"Miss... you already know?"

Tham Hao Vu, twenty-four years old. Mother is Chu Uyen. My father's stepchild was raised outside for more than ten years. Three years ago I investigated everything clearly. I don't touch it, just because it's not necessary. But what surprised me was that my father took the initiative to bring him home.

"What else?"

"The boss said he would hold a family meeting tonight. He also said... he would redistribute the estate."

Uncle Ly's voice became lower and lower, as if he was afraid that I would get angry. But I'm not angry. It's the kind of laugh that comes from the bottom of my heart, because I find this story ridiculous to the extreme. The 30 billion yuan contract was signed by me. One hundred percent of the corporation's shares are in my name. From development strategy to purchasing, every decision in the company is in my hands. What about Tham Quoc Luong? His business card printed only four words:

"Honorary advisor."

To put it bluntly, it's... A retired old man, just hanging around for the sake of it. What did he use to divide the estate? Whose estate will be divided? Does he have something called an inheritance? I said calmly.

"Just prepare two more sets of bowls and chopsticks tonight. You and Tan Tu will come home to eat."

"Huh? Miss... aren't you really angry?"

"Why should you be angry?"

I asked very sincerely. Just like an ant declaring that he will break an elephant's leg and then share it with them. You will not angry. You're just curious to see how it's going to bend. Tan Tu looked at my expression and cautiously asked:

"President Tham, do you need to notify the legal department to prepare anything first?"

"No need."

I picked up my bag.

"Just think of it as coming to watch a comedy."

Tan Tu hesitated for a moment.

"So... leave the contract to the company?"

"Bring it along."

I thought and smiled.

"Who knows, maybe we'll have to teach someone a lesson right on the spot."

When the car stopped in front of the old villa gate, it was completely dark. In front of the gate is parked a brand new Porsche Cayenne. Temporary license plate. Tan Tu glanced and calmly reported:

"President Tham, I just checked. This car was taken from the 4S dealership this afternoon, paid for with your father's supplementary card."

"Does he still have the extra card?"

"That's the living account your mother left him three years ago."

Tan Tu looked at his phone.

"As of this afternoon, the balance is 830 thousand yuan. This Cayenne rolled over for 1.2 million yuan."

"So he spent over the limit?"

"That's right."

I was silent for two seconds. Then I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Taking the living expenses left by his wife... Buying a car for his stepson is even more than the budget. This vision. This spirit. This mindset too. Truly has Tham Quoc Luong's style. I opened the car door, put on my high heels and stepped inside. The lights in the villa are bright. From the living room came the sound of laughter and chatter. There's not just one person. The moment I pushed the door open, I immediately saw the scene before my eyes. Tham Quoc Luong sat in the chair position, his face cheerful. Next to him was a young man. Tall and thin, good looks. He was wearing a suit that was clearly just bought today, and his tie was still tied to one side. Tham Hao Vu. The "younger brother" I have never met. He was holding a cup of tea, smiling and saying something to my mother. As for my mother... Tong Tung sat on the other end of the sofa, her back straight, her cold face as if covered with a layer of ice. The cup of tea in her hand was still intact, she had never taken a sip. When she saw me enter, her eyes moved slightly, her lips pursed tightly. I'm so used to that look. It was the expression of a person who had endured to the limit, but still did not want to lose his temper in front of outsiders. As soon as Tham Quoc Luong saw me, he stopped. Immediately after, an extremely complicated smile appeared on his face.
