Chapter 23 — Hua Tri Ha's Return

Ha Canh Xuyen stood rooted to the ground and suddenly called out:
“Tri Ha.”
I turned my head. He looked at me with eyes filled with thousands of feelings, and spoke softly:
“If from the beginning... you hadn't recruited Lam Duong into the company, would our outcome have been different?”
I lingered looking at him for quite a while.
“It's no different.”
He was stunned. I continued:
"Lam Duong is just a trigger that makes the ulcer germs explode sooner."
“The real reason is because you have long forgotten all the arduous journeys that you and I have walked through together.”
“You weren't taken away by her.”
“You just got lost on your own.”
Ha Canh Xuyen's face was gray and gloomy. I didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked straight forward. * Three days after completing the divorce procedures, the Board of Directors of Ha Thi officially dismissed the position of General Director of Ha Canh Xuyen. The reasons given are: Serious violations of financial risk management, causing a terrible media disaster, and irresponsible management. The empire he built with his own hands finally kicked him out of the center of power with one blow, just because of his own arrogance and indiscriminate tolerance. Lam Duong was sued by Ha Thi in court, collecting all illegal benefits. The apartment in her name was sealed and blocked. Her parents cried profusely in the newspaper, explaining that their daughter was just immature and didn't understand life. But this time, no one wants to believe and buy that tattered play anymore. Duong Nha was completely blacklisted by the entire industry. She once sent me a long text apologizing. She said she was extremely regretful, said that she was just too eager to climb high, said that when she saw Lam Duong being favorably tolerated by Ha Canh Xuyen, she mistakenly thought that she was on the side of a stable destination. After reading it, I just clicked delete. Not every apology uttered in this world deserves a thoughtful response. The results of the investigation into Hua Man Ninh's case are finally available. Taking advantage of positions and powers to line his own pockets, causing serious damage to company assets, the evidence is clear and undeniable. My father did not show any softness. She was escorted and handed over to the judicial agency for investigation and prosecution. Before being led away, she asked someone to leave me a cruel sentence:
“Hua Tri Ha, I only lose to you in not knowing how to reincarnate.”
I asked Chu Minh Le to respond in one short sentence:
“You lost because you were too greedy.”
* Three months later, the launch event of Van Cam Group's fall high-end fashion supply chain collection was held grandly. This is the first large-scale project that I personally lead since returning to Van Cam. On the day of the event, many prominent partners in the industry gathered. My father sat in a position of honor in the first row. When the stage lights brightened, I stood on the podium, clutching the speech script in my hand. But when I officially spoke, I didn't read the dry words on the paper. I said boldly:
“For so many years
When my youth has passed, I once mistakenly believed that loving someone means having to humble yourself to the very dust."
“So low that I can no longer see my true value.”
"So low that when someone else blatantly robbed me of what belonged to me, I still tried to find a reason to forgive that person."
