Chapter 4 — Going Through Mistakes To Stay Together
5. After welcoming Giang Dich to the Van family, my father wanted to make it up to him so he directly arranged for him to become the company's CEO. Initially, under Van Tieu's leadership, the company gradually entered a stable trajectory, and many important projects were about to come to an end. Logically speaking, as long as Giang Dich does not cause trouble, the company can develop smoothly. But Giang Dich is the type of person who doesn't know reason. The years of traveling outside did not forge him to be strong and resilient, on the contrary, it only made his personality more sensitive and suspicious. As long as someone praises Van Tieu, it becomes a provocation in his eyes. Hearing company employees gossip that Van Tieu made a smart decision, he immediately felt his position was threatened, and jealousy smoldered like weeds growing in his heart. In order to break Van Tieu's influence in Van Thi and prove that he was the real center of the company, Giang Dich began to secretly play tricks. He deliberately created barriers at key points of the project, and also revealed false information to partners, causing the project's progress to stall, the parties to cancel the contract one after another, and ultimately causing Van Thi's stock price to plummet miserably.
“Dieu Dieu, you know where Van Tieu is, right? Tell him to come back!” My mother's voice on the phone was full of worry.
I glanced at my brother who was in the kitchen cooking, then quietly hid in the bedroom.
"Why are you looking for him? Wasn't it you who kicked him out of the Van family?"
“Even if he gets kicked out of home, it won't affect him continuing to work for Van Thi.”
My mother was a bit annoyed: "Van Tieu is really rude, after all, we raised him for more than twenty years, but without saying a word, took the money and left."
"If he could think a little, he should have stayed at the company to teach Tieu Dich, it wouldn't have made him... fail miserably like this."
Even through the phone call, I could still clearly hear the resentment in my mother's words. Even though I'm my biological mother, I still couldn't help but roll my eyes. If my brother had gradually transferred power in the past, I'm afraid my mother would have had a completely different tone by then.
“Mom, I can't contact him. I'll call back later. Bye!” I quickly hung up.
Outside the living room, my brother wore a floral apron, carried a plate of eggs with tomato sauce and placed them on the table. Seeing me walk out, he glanced: "Didn't you say you're hungry? Come out and eat!" Over the past few years, in order to take better care of my taste, he even deliberately took the time to sign up for a cooking class. His skills are no different from those of a five-star hotel chef. I rushed to hug him: "You are so wonderful!" My brother seemed to be immune to my sudden hug, at least he was no longer as stiff as before.
"I'm a brother, if I'm not good to you then I'm good to no one." He gently removed my hand from his body.
My nose suddenly felt stinging, tears fell uncontrollably: "Brother... the Van family is about to go bankrupt." In recent days, Van Thi's shares have fallen miserably. The To family also publicly announced the annulment of their marriage with the Van family online. With such a big scandal, I can't believe my brother doesn't know.
“Do you really ignore the Van family?”
He pulled out a tissue and gently wiped my tears: "Dieu Dieu, I am no longer part of the Van family. Their survival is no longer related to you." I do not believe.
“I already know You put so much effort into Van Thi, do you really want to see it collapse?
If there is one person in this world who can save Van Thi, that person is definitely my brother. I pulled his sleeve: "Brother, I know your parents are sorry for you. But after all, they are the parents who gave birth to me, I cannot stand by and watch. Can you… show me some respect and help them for once?” He was silent for a few seconds, patting my head: "My Dieu Dieu is grown up, he knows how to think for his parents." I looked at him, my eyes full of expectation. He said softly: “I have already signed that agreement. Black and white, you and the Van family completely cut off relations." My eyes darkened. But then he continued: "Even though I am no longer related to the Van family... but you still are. I can help them too.”
“Don't forget, you are also the heir to the Van family.”
“Me?” I shook my head like crazy. “You can't!”
I'm just a new graduate, studying Chinese and has nothing to do with business. If you let me manage another company, do you want Van Thi to die faster? My brother held my head tightly as I shook it wildly: "If you don't know, then learn. If you don't understand, then slowly learn. I can teach you all of those things.” At that moment, I suddenly felt like I was back in high school, when my brother picked me up and forced me to make up for it. 6. Under my brother's dedicated guidance, my rate of progress can be said to be one day equal to a thousand miles. After returning home, I took advantage of internal conflicts in the board of directors to divide, manipulate, and successfully infiltrate the management class, targeting Jiang Dich's flashy but empty projects, publicizing all the evidence that he had damaged the company, directly kicking him out of the center of power. Step by step, I arranged the situation within the group and trained my own core team. Under my leadership, projects that had stagnated finally started moving again. As for me, I soon held thirty percent of the shares in my hands. I happily took the share transfer contract with me to look for my brother, but I saw with my own eyes the scene I least wanted to see. To Ky Nguyet, my brother's ex-fiancee, was holding his hands tightly, pleading in desperation.
“Van Tieu, I was wrong before, I was too arbitrary, I shouldn't have said things that hurt you, I really regret it, can you forgive me, give me one more chance, can we... start again?”
