Chapter 17 — He Called Our Wedding a Takeover, So I Moved Every Asset Overnight

The next day. Tran Hieu Mai officially goes to work. Minh Tuyen Design's team was gradually formed. Then seven people. The scale is not large. But streamlined and effective. The detailed implementation plan of the Tay Ho Cultural Complex project is progressing faster than expected. Under the strict supervision of the monitoring team sent by Luc Dien. The construction side did not dare to use any tricks. One month later. The first batch of structural steel was brought into the construction site. I stood on the construction site. Look at the giant steel structures being hoisted up bar by bar. The first main beam of the twelve meter long cantilever structure is officially in place. The workers applauded in unison. Tran Hieu Mai stood next to me. Raise your head and look up. “How does it feel to see your design from drawing to reality?” "Wonderful." It's really great. Better than any moment I could have ever imagined. The phone suddenly vibrated. It's Luc Dien. “Has the main structure begun to be erected?” “How do you know?” “The surveillance party sent photos of the scene.” I'm speechless. This person's information network is truly too effective. “Progress is not bad.” “Next week Dien Xuyen will have an internal project review meeting.” “I need you to report progress by stage.” “Thursday afternoon.” “Your new office is in the old factory building, right?” “Why are you…” “Business registration information is public.” “I can arrange it on Thursday afternoon.” He stopped for a moment. “There's one more thing.” “Congratulations on the official establishment of the design office.” He hung up again. This person always talks like he's sending telegrams. So concise that there is not a single word left over. Luc Dien arrives at the new office of Minh Tuyen Design. This time he brought his assistant. But the assistant sat outside from start to finish. He was the only one entering the meeting room. Just entered the door. He observed the entire space. Original exposed steel frame. High skylight. Design drawings cover the walls. “This space is very good.” “It used to be a printing factory.” “Did you find it yourself?” “The final load-bearing wall was designed by me as a renovation plan.” “I asked the homeowner for permission to strengthen the structure.” He looked at the location of that wall. “Save the cost of partitions.” “Morning light lasts about three hours longer.” I looked at him. “You recognized it at one glance?” “I have invested in more than ten renovation projects.” “Watched it a lot.” He sat down on the chair. “Let's get started.” The report session lasted one hour. After finishing. He closed the file. Then asked a question that I didn't expect. “Have you ever thought about taking on housing projects?” “Dien Xuyen is preparing to invest in a high-end residential area next year.” “Not the type of mass-built commercial apartment complex.” “It's a custom-designed residential community.” “Each project has a different identity.” “This type of project is not very profitable.” “But the design freedom is extremely large.” “It suits you very well.” I thought for a moment. “Send the documents for me to review first.” “It's been sent to your email.” “Since when?” “Before coming here.” I looked at him. “Luc Dien.” “Do you always assume that every time you come to me to talk, I will agree?” “It's not a given that you will agree.” He stood up. “But by default she will be interested.” He went to the door. Then stopped again. This person really likes to stand at the door before saying another sentence. “You laughed more times this month than last month.” I was stunned. But he's gone. I stood in place. Think back for a long time. Last month... Did I laugh? Seems like very little. But recently... I don't know if it's because work is going well. Or is it because of something else? I actually laugh more than before. I went back to my mother's house to eat. Mom cooked rib soup. Stir-fry two more dishes. During the meal. She kept watching me. “What's wrong, mom?” “Nem Niem.” “My face looks better these days.” “Maybe because I'm so busy.” "If you're busy, you don't have time to think about nonsense anymore." “What about that investment company owner?” “Some guy named Luc.” “Luc Dien?” “What about him?” “How is everyone?” I put down my chopsticks. “Don't think nonsense.” “It's just a partnership.” “Mom didn't say anything.” She gave me a chopstick of vegetables. “I just think that name sounds good.” “...Mom, let's eat.” The case officially entered the prosecution phase. The Procuracy approved the arrest warrant for Co Thua Tieu and Phuong Huc. Co Thua Tieu's lawyer team tried every way to prolong the time through legal procedures. But the prosecution's attitude is very clear. “Full evidence.” “Prosecute in accordance with the law.” The date the indictment was delivered. Giang Van sent me a copy. I read very carefully. Crime number one: Accomplice in rape. Six years ago, he planned and carried out an act of abuse against To Niem. Second crime: Using To Niem's name to establish a shell company. Appropriated a total of 17,420,000 yuan in design fees. Third crime: Counterfeiting corporate seals. Forging To Niem's signature and the studio's seal to sign four fake contracts. Sentence recommendation: Multiple crimes combined. The sentence ranges from twelve to fifteen years in prison.
