Chapter 13 — Leave To Be Called By Your Own Name

Tieu Chu leaned into my ear.

"Miss Duong."

"Five hundred thousand people watched it."

I looked at Lam Na on the screen.

"You should apologize..."

"It's not just you."

Lam Na was stunned. I said slowly:

"I should apologize too..."

"Myself."

"Sorry, old girl."

"Ever tried to stand firm on my own strength."

Lam Na hugged her face and burst into tears. The connection ended. Giang Van's joint venture article immediately backfired. Other former employees began to remove their names one by one. Someone texted me to apologize. Someone sent me the history of Giang Van forming a group to pressure people. Eleven o'clock at night. Co Nghien Bach sent me a message.

"Do I have to destroy everyone?"

I replied.

"It's not me who destroys."

"It's you..."

"Choose to stand in the wrong position."

Opening day of So Duong Design's first pop-up store. The line of people stretched all the way outside the shopping center. Han Suong stood at the door. Look at the sales table that continuously increases.

"Tong Duong."

"You know Co Thi also has a promotion today, right?"

"I know."

"They have a full discount."

Tieu Chu leaned closer.

"And we..."

"Still selling at the right price."

Han Suong burst out laughing.

"Your store sells at original price..."

"And it's faster than them."

The first guest walked out. In hand holding a shopping bag. Turn to talk to your friend.

"This is the true design."

"The Co market has really gone downhill lately."

The person next to him continued.

"You don't know yet?"

"Their former Design Director..."

"I opened my own company."

Right at that moment. Hua Lam appeared. He wears a hat. Stand at the end of the line. Tieu Chu was the first to see it.

"Miss Duong."

"What did he come for?"

Hua Lam slowly walked forward. His face was very haggard.

"I want to talk to you."

I calmly replied.

"This is where the business is."

Hua Lam lowered his voice.

"I can publicly apologize."

I looked at him.

"Condition?"

"Don't continue to pursue me anymore."

Tieu Chu smiled coldly.

"You chose a really good location."

"I know there's a lot of people here."

"You should think that Ms. Duong won't chase you away."

Hua Lam's eyes turned red again.

"I was also deceived by Giang Van."

I looked straight at Hua Lam.

"She told you to steal the manuscript."

"You stole."

"She told you to play the victim."

"You did."

"She told you to stand up to me."

"You did it too."

"Now that I say I was deceived..."

"Don't you think it's too late?"

Hua Lam bit her lip.

"I just want a chance to emerge."

I calmly looked at him.

"Want to move forward..."

"Then keep your head down and study."

"Not reaching out to take someone else's."

The surrounding customers all looked over. Someone recognized Hua Lam.

"Isn't that Hua Lam?"

"It's the person who said Song Duong bullied him."

"Your skin is really thick."

"You still dare to come here."

Hua Lam's face became increasingly unsightly. The voice is also higher.

"Tong Duong."

"Have you never stepped on someone else to climb up before?"

I haven't had time to speak yet. A gray-haired man walked out of the store. It's Uncle Chau. He was still wearing his factory uniform. There were still a few threads left on his hand.

"Young people."

"Talk must have evidence."

Hua Lam was stunned. Uncle Chau pointed to the clothes in the store.

"Designer Tong for how many years?"

"The drawing was half-corrected night."

"The factory has a problem."

"She's always the first one there."

"You said she stepped on someone else."

"I'm the first to disagree."

Right at that moment. Ms. Luong also came out from inside.

"I also disagree."

A Man practiced making patterns. Coldly said:

"I don't agree even more."

The crowd started clapping. Hua Lam stood among everyone. His face became whiter and whiter. I looked at him.

"See?"

"I'm not the only one who says you're wrong."

"All the people who have been looked down upon by you..."

"Everyone still remembers how I worked."

Hua Lam bowed his head. I calmly replied:

"Public."

He raised his head. I pointed at the group of reporters outside the door.

"Just now..."

"Didn't you say you would publicly apologize?"

Hua Lam's face immediately turned pale. Tieu Chu stood next to him and added another sentence.

"No one is forcing me anymore..."

"So you don't dare?"

The crowd laughed. Hua Lam gritted his teeth. Slowly walk in front of the camera.

"Please officially apologize to Tong Duong."

"I used to use her work."

"At the same time..."

"According to Giang Van's instructions."

"I posted false statements."

"I'm willing to bear all the consequences."

He almost ran away. This is the first time... Hua Lam bowed his head in public. But I know. That's still not enough. The person behind everything. Still Giang Van. The first day of the pop-up store opening. Sales set a new record for a single store in Tinh Ha. Right on the spot. Han Suong decided to sign more cooperation. The reporter approached to interview me.

"General Tong."

"What do you think about Co's recent scandals?"

I smiled.

"Someone else's story."

"I don't comment."

"Sister Duong only did one thing."

"Write your correct name on your own work."

That statement quickly spread throughout social networks. That evening. Another new news spread from within the Co clan. Giang Van was suspended from all foreign affairs statements. Hua Lam was dismissed as the person in charge of the project. Co Nghien Bach. Still untouched. Luong Thanh made an appointment to meet me. The location is Tan Nghien's law office. Just sat down. She immediately said:

"You won the first round."

I calmly replied:

"It's not like I won."

"Losing the limits that should be kept."

Luong Thanh nodded.

"The Board of Directors agrees to confirm..."

"Eight percent of your equity interest."

Tan Nghien looked at me.

"What about my grandmother's part?"

Luong Thanh replied:

"That amount..."

"Need to verify again."

I laughed.

"Say it to verify."

"It actually prolongs the time."

Luong Thanh is still very calm.

"Currently Co..."

"Can't stand another wave."

"You take eight percent."

"It's been a very nice result."

I looked at her.

"You guys..."

"Would love to decide for me..."

"What is enough?"

"When I was sent to the warehouse."

"You guys told me I should know enough."

"Apologizing."

"You guys told me to think about the big picture."

"Now let's talk about shares."

"You guys told me I should save face."

I looked straight into her eyes.

"Face..."

"It's not about taking less."

"Face is..."

"What belongs to whom?"

"Then you have to return it to that person."

Luong Thanh was silent. Tan Nghien pushed the trust contract over.

"We have completed the first round of inspection."

"Includes signature."

"And the entire chain of transfers."

"If Your side continues to delay."

"Next step..."

"Is officially filed for arbitration."

"At the same time, disclose all information to all shareholders."

Luong Thanh's face changed slightly.

"Lawyer Tan."

"Is this threatening us?"

Tan Nghien smiled.

"This is just the process."

I added.

"Recently..."

"I really like working properly."

Luong Thanh looked at me for a long time.

"Tong Duong."

"You're harder to deal with than I thought."

I calmly replied:

"Before."

"You guys think I'm easy to talk to."

"I still care about Co Nghien Bach."

"And now."

"I don't care anymore."

"So..."

"You guys see the real me."

Before leaving. Luong Thanh suddenly said:

"There's one more thing."

"Giang Van..."

"Contacted your mother."

I immediately raised my head. Tan Nghien immediately asked:

"This morning."

I immediately took the phone. Call mom.
