Chapter 5
Chapter 5 — I tore up a 1.8 billion contract, my boss went crazy right at the celebration party
On the other end of the line, a low, gentle male voice rang out. That voice has a strange charm.
“Miss Hua Tinh, right?”
“I am Tran Van Ly.”
My hand gently tightened the phone.
“What advice does President Tran have?”
He laughed softly.
"I don't dare teach you anything."
“I just want to see you once.”
“There are some things that are inconvenient to discuss over the phone.”
“I wonder if Miss Hua dares to come or not?”
Every word carries provocation. I looked at the night outside the window. The corners of his lips coldly curled up.
“Is there anything you wouldn't dare to do?”
"Time."
"Location."
“Tomorrow night at eight.”
“Giang Thuong Minh Nguyet Clubhouse.”
“The Thien Tu room is on the top floor.”
Tran Van Ly said slowly.
“I will wait for you.”
“Go alone.”
“If you bring someone you shouldn't bring.”
“I'm not sure you'll see things you don't want to see.”
In his words. There is a hidden threat that is hard to perceive. The call ended. I'm still looking at the phone screen. Silence for a long time. It was a Hong Mon party. A trap is prepared. But I had to go. Because of his last words.
“Things you don't want to see.”
Accidentally touched the deepest secret in my heart. A secret I kept hidden for many years. And also something... Absolutely no one can touch it. Giang Thuong Minh Nguyet Head Office. The most luxurious place in S city. A private club only for the upper class. No membership card. Even the gate cannot be passed through. It is rumored that the people appearing here are either tycoons or powerful figures. If assets are not over tens of billions of yuan. Going out to greet others still feels awkward. Tran Van Ly invited me here. The intention is too clear. Just a prestige. It's just an insult. He wanted me to see how big the gap between the two sides was. I didn't bring anyone with me. Drive alone to get there. The security guard at the gate looked at my car. His eyes flashed with contempt. But still follow the correct procedure.
“Ma'am, please present your membership card.”
I rolled down the car window. Calmly replied:
“I don't have a membership card.”
“I came to see Tran Van Ly.”
The guard was slightly stunned. He held the walkie-talkie and exchanged a few words. Less than a minute later. Attitude immediately changed completely.
“So it's Miss Hua.”
“Please come in.”
“Mr. Tran is waiting for you in Thien Tu room on the top floor.”
I drove into the parking lot. Surrounded by supercars worth tens of millions of yuan. My car placed in the middle of that crowd looked extremely out of place. Step inside. Luxury is almost present in every centimeter of space. Crystal lamp. Art paintings. Imported carpets. Everything is so expensive that it takes your breath away. A female manager wearing a cheongsam approached. Smile professionally.
“Miss Hua, please come this way.”
She took me into a private elevator. The inside is covered with thick, soft sheepskin carpet. Even the air seemed to smell of money. The elevator goes straight to the top floor. Before my eyes was a giant terrace in mid-air. The whole city of S is bright with lights right at your feet. In the middle of the terrace. Only set one table. A man stands next to the railing. Turn your back to me. Perfectly tailored black suit. Tall, straight figure. Like a medium-sharp sword leave the shell. Just a shadow. Creepy pressure has been created. Tran Van Ly. After taking me there. The female manager bowed her head and quietly left. The large space left only two people left. I slowly walked forward. Stopped three feet away from him.
“General Tran.”
“It took quite a bit of effort.”
The man turned around. I was a bit surprised. He is much younger than expected. About thirty years old. Sharp face. High nose bridge. The corners of the lips always carry a faint smile. But those eyes... Deep to the bottom. Like an ancient well. Just look a little longer. It feels like the soul will also be sucked inside.
“Miss Hua.”
“Indeed, very courageous.”
His voice was low and full of magnetism.
“Dare to come here alone.”
I looked straight into his eyes.
“I knew it was the Hong Mon party.”
“Then I have to come and see.”
“I also want to know who is the real person behind today's sword dance.”
Tran Van Ly burst out laughing. He pointed towards the chair opposite. I'm not polite either. Calmly sit down. On the table were prepared exquisite dishes. The same bottle of red wine is worth quite a bit. He personally poured me a glass.
“Wine 1982.”
“I don't know if it suits Miss Hua's taste or not.”
I picked up the glass of wine. Gently rotate. But don't drink.
"If there's anything wrong, President Tran, just say it directly."
“I don't like beating around the bush.”
He also poured himself a glass. Then lean back in the chair. Looks lazy but full of danger.
“Miss Hua is truly a refreshing person.”
“So I'll be honest.”
He put down the glass of wine. The body is slightly tilted forward. Sharp eyes like an eagle locked on me.
“I give you two options.”
"The first."
“Bring all the employees from Sang Khoa back to the old company.”
“Then kneel down in front of everyone.”
“I bow my head and apologize to Chu Due.”
“Then disappeared from S city.”
“I can pretend like nothing ever happened.”
I laughed. The smile was cold as ice.
“So what's the second choice?”
The corners of his lips curled up.
“Second choice.”
“I destroy you.”
“Destroy Thinh Hoa.”
“Then destroy the thing you care about the most.”
My heart suddenly sank. He already knows. Sure enough, he investigated.
“General Tran.”
“I don't understand what you're talking about.”
