Chapter 8 — I am no longer anyone's ladder

Luc Hoai Dan's hand stopped at the edge of the tea cup. I took the file that Uncle Luong gave me. Push it in front of him.

"After you watch it, you'll decide."

"It's bringing Luc Thua Chu to apologize..."

"Should we return to stabilize the Board of Directors first."

Luc Hoai Dan opened the file. The more he watched... The more gray his face became. To the end. He gritted his teeth.

"This bastard."

Right at that moment. The door to the room was suddenly pushed open by someone. Luc Thua Chu stood right outside the door. Apparently he heard the last sentence.

"Why did you come to find her?"

Luc Hoai Dan picked up the document and threw it straight at him.

"Kneel down."

Luc Thua Chu stiffened in place.

"I told you to kneel down."

In the hotel hallway, someone poked their head out to see. Luc Thua Chu gritted his teeth. The knees slowly bent. I didn't stop it at all. Luc Hoai Dan pointed straight at his son's face.

"Do you know..."

"Did the On family give the Luc family anything?"

"Why do you think you can run rampant in Nam Thanh?"

"Relying on several versions of the plan, it's still wrong after three revisions?"

"Or rely on your talent to flatter an intern?"

Luc Thua Chu's face turned red.

"Give me a little more time."

"I can save it."

"Save how?"

Luc Hoai Dan threw the documents down in front of him.

"You let someone edit the meeting minutes."

"Turn the Wen family's merit into Hua Niem An's."

"You still dare to stand in front of the big screen and say..."

'Without her, your day wouldn't exist.'

"Now every partner calls me to ask..."

"Does Truong Dieu have to rely on counterfeiting to win projects?"

Until now. Luc Thua Chu was really panicked. He knelt and turned towards me.

"You are wrong."

"I will publicly correct it."

"The story of Hua Niem An..."

"I'll take care of it cleanly."

I calmly asked:

"How to handle it?"

He quickly replied:

"Fire her."

"Make her post an apology letter."

"Say..."

"All it takes is her unilaterally clinging to you."

Right at that moment. There was a shrill laugh outside the door. Hua Niem An stood there. Holding phone in hand.

"Luc Thua Chu."

"You really turned around so quickly."

She walked in step by step.

"Last night you told me not to be afraid."

"You said Wen Namzhi only relied on family background."

"Wait until I get the next cooperation from the Wen family..."

"I will immediately annul the marriage with her."

Luc Thua Chu rushed forward and tried to snatch the phone. Hua Niem An quickly backed away.

"You dare to rob."

"I will post this recording online."

Luc Hoai Dan was so angry that his face turned pale.

"You two..."

"Haven't you felt embarrassed enough yet?"

Hua Niem An turned to look at me. There was no longer the weakness of yesterday in his eyes.

"On Nam Chi."

"Don't be too quick to be complacent."

"He tricked me."

"I won't leave you alone either."

"Don't you want to know the truth?"

"In my hands..."

"There's also a recording of him cursing at you."

Luc Thua Chu roared.

"Hua Niem An."

"Do you want to destroy me?"

She laughed.

"You ruined me first."

I watched the two of them tear each other apart. Suddenly remembered something my mother once said. Rotten wood, no matter how close it is, cannot become a beam. I stood up.

"Today I also saw it with my own eyes."

"The Wen family will not continue to cooperate..."

"With any project in charge of Luc Thua Chu."

Luc Hoai Dan immediately looked at me.

"Nam Chi..."

"Socks also other projects of Truong Dieu..."

"I'll let the team re-evaluate."

"Can I keep it or not..."

"It remains to be seen how you handle it."

It's my last chance for the Luc family. Luc Hoai Dan understands. He slowly closed his eyes.

"I will abolish all of Thua Chu's positions."

Luc Thua Chu's face was as white as paper.

"Dad can't do that."

"You are my son."

Luc Hoai Dan replied coldly.

"First of all..."

"Learn how to be human."

"Then let's talk about being my son."

That afternoon. Truong Dieu's internal announcement was officially issued. Luc Thua Chu was temporarily suspended from his position as the person in charge of the Nam Thanh project and accepted an internal investigation. Hua Niem An's internship contract was terminated. Manh Giai for spreading false rumors and promising positions against regulations should be removed from the Events Department, awaiting further action. Very short notice. But Truong Dieu was shocked. When I went back to the branch to get the documents. As soon as the receptionist saw me, he immediately stood up. Even the security guard yesterday received a box of candy from Hua Niem An... Today he didn't dare raise his head to look at me. Manh Giai stood in front of the tea room door. Eyes swollen and red.

"Manager Wen."

"Yesterday I only listened to Niem An."

"I didn't know you were really from the On family."

I placed the cup on the counter to get some water.

"If I wasn't from the Wen family."

"So you can arbitrarily insult me?"

Manh Giai was speechless. I just leisurely said:

"Go to the human resources department."

Manh Giai burst into tears.

"I worked very hard to get into Truong Dieu."

"My whole family is still waiting for me to be officially accepted."

I looked at her.

"When you were planning on exchanging your management position with someone else's honor..."

"Have you ever thought about this?"

Manh Giai covered his face and sat down. I didn't look at her again. In the meeting room. Uncle Luong is rearranging old documents. Saw me coming in. He gave me a list.

"These are real people working on the Nam Thanh project."

"Yesterday, a few people were almost replaced by General Manager Luc."

"Just because they refused to correct the records."
