Chapter 15 — Hua Tri Ha's Return

“Why… why so many?”
Director Luong added another stab of the knife: "There's also money for goods from your mother's online store."
“You persuaded the purchasing department to import a bunch of inventory at exorbitant prices.”
Lam Duong shouted loudly: "That was agreed by Mr. Canh Xuyen!" Ha Canh Xuyen turned and glared at her. She was scared and immediately covered her mouth with her hand. I laughed appreciatively: "Very good."
“Just keep talking.”
Ha Canh Xuyen reached out and squeezed Lam Duong's shoulder.
"Enough."
I looked at his hand.
“You can protect her for a while, but can you bear her debt?”
Ha Canh Xuyen gritted his teeth.
“I will pay for her.”
I nodded briefly.
"Okay."
Chu Minh Le immediately held out a document.
“Then would you mind signing the debt confirmation form?”
Ha Canh Xuyen turned it over to look, his face darkened.
“Have you prepared everything in advance?”
I replied: "It's not the first time you owe me." Director Luong stood next to him and whispered advice: "Boss Ha, sign it."
“If the procrastination continues for a long time, the Board of Directors will not be able to force it down.”
Ha Canh Xuyen glared at me: "Hua Tri Ha, you are so cruel." I calmly replied: "How can I compare with you?"
“If you are cruel, you won't even care about your own blood.”
The pen in his hand stopped. Lam Duong cried: "Brother Canh Xuyen, don't sign, let me go beg Ms. Hua." She turned and knelt at my feet.
“Sister Hua, I really can't afford to pay that much money.”
I took a step back, away.
“Don't kneel in front of me.”
“I won't take this psychological beating.”
She cried bitterly: "You have so much money, why do you have to put me to death?" I bent down and looked straight at her from above.
“Because that money is not yours.”
Outside the door of the meeting room, there were a few employees huddled together. Someone whispered: "It turns out I stole that much money."
“And yet you act pitiful every day.”
“What's wrong with promising Miss Xu to get her things back?”
Hearing those words, Lam Duong's whole body trembled. Ha Canh Xuyen finally signed. I took out the text.
“Within 3 days, the first amount must be transferred to the account.”
He looked at me with despair.
“Tri Ha, do we have to end up like this?”
I replied: "It's because you taught me."
“Money must be calculated clearly and fairly.”
* Three days later, the first transfer was nowhere to be seen. What appeared was a public video of Lam Duong. In the video, she sat in a cramped, shabby motel, with several boxes of medicine on the table, her eyes swollen from crying.
“I know I was wrong.”
“But I can't repay that amount of more than 18 million yuan in my whole life.”
“Miss Hua is right, that money does not belong to me.”
“But I'm just a normal girl, my parents' health is poor, I just want to find a way to survive.”
She choked up and looked straight into the camera.
“If my existence makes everyone unhappy, I vow to leave Nam Thanh.”
“Just please, Ms. Hua, don't pressure Mr. Canh Xuyen anymore.”
Just half an hour after the video was posted, people in front of Ha Thi company were completely dark. Some people held up their phones to livestream to get views, others screamed for Ha Canh Xuyen to come forward and explain.
“Sugar is a big boss, why is there such a thing?
Can you force a weak girl to the end?"
"A wealthy couple quarrels, why do they force hired workers to bear the debt?"
“Hua Tri Ha also acted cruelly!”
Chu Minh Le gave me the tablet.
“Miss, public opinion is being led by the nose again.”
After watching, I asked: "Where is Ha Canh Xuyen?"
“It's down in the Ha Thi lobby.”
“Lam Duong also came.”
I stood up and grabbed my coat. My father looked up from the pile of documents and asked, "Are you going to go yourself?"
