Chapter 10 — Light Cannot Be Stolen

Duong Niem's face immediately turned pale. Co Canh Xuyen slammed the marker on the table.

"Tham Van!"

"This is my studio."

"It's not a place for you to come and get angry."

I looked at the business license hanging on the wall.

"Your studio?"

"Not mine..."

"Could it be mine?"

I took out a stack of transfer documents from my pocket. Place on the table.

"Three startup funds before opening day."

"Rent for premises."

"Equipment money."

"Employee salaries."

"It's all my move."

Co Canh Xuyen didn't care at all.

"Lovers support each other."

"What does it mean to calculate so clearly?"

"At that time..."

"I wrote the loan note."

Co Canh Xuyen's face immediately stiffened. Everyone in the meeting room started looking at each other. Duong Niem quickly said:

"Miss Van..."

"You and the principal are about to get married."

"Money is divided so clearly..."

"Aren't you afraid of hurting your feelings?"

Hua Lam stood at the door and coldly interjected:

"Someone's life was almost lost, are you still talking about love?"

"Are you criticizing her for not dying fast enough?"

Duong Niem was scolded so much that tears fell again. Co Canh Xuyen was angry:

"This is a private matter between me and Tham Van."

Hua Lam replied:

"Just now you taught your staff to give false testimony."

"It's not personal."

The expressions of several people in the meeting room immediately changed. Co Canh Xuyen turned to look at Tieu Chu.

"Are you recording?"

Tieu Chu raised the phone. Co Canh Xuyen rushed forward to rob him. But the security guard brought by Hua Lam stopped him. Tieu Chu's voice trembled. But every word is very clear.

"I followed you for two years."

"Ms. Van brought the project back to the studio."

"Staying up all night editing photos."

"For me, patch one hole after another."

"I saw it all."

"That day on the mountain, I didn't help her."

"I feel like I'm nothing anymore."

"Today I still want you to lie."

"I can't do it."

Duong Niem cried and said:

"Mr. Tieu Chu..."

"Did Ms. Van give you money?"

Tieu Chu looked at her.

"Duong Niem."

"Don't think everyone is like you."

That statement is not heavy. But it fell on Duong Niem's face... It was louder than a slap. She covered her face, turned around and rushed into Co Canh Xuyen's arms.

"Headmaster..."

"I really can't stay here anymore."

Co Canh Xuyen hugged her. Dark eyes stared at me.

"Tham Van."

"Do I have to force her to leave?"

I coldly replied:

"Is she going or not..."

"It has nothing to do with me."

I picked up the project file on the table. Right on the first page of the cover photo plan... The signature section only has: Co Canh Xuyen. Niem Street. Has been wiped clean. However, the entire shooting route, lighting calculations, camera position design... were all done by myself. I held up the plan.

"This..."

"Is it you too?"

Duong Niem replied softly:

"I... also participated in the discussion."

"I asked you."

"What part are you participating in?"

"I... I have suggestions on colors."

I turned to the notes page.

"You mean..."

"'Photographing snowy mountains is a little more dreamy'?"

In the meeting room... Some people couldn't help but bowed their heads and burst out laughing. Duong Niem's face immediately turned pale. Co Canh Xuyen snatched the documents out of my hand.

"Creativity is the result of a whole team."

"There's no need to make such a clear division."

I nodded.

"Then..."

"From today."

"All the options I do."

"All sample photos of me take a photo."

"All the customer data I leave behind."

"My studio..."

"No further use is allowed."

Co Canh Xuyen paused.

"What do you mean?"

I took out a lawyer's letter from my pocket. Put it down in front of him.

"Without my written consent."

"Use of any works and creative plans owned by me is strictly prohibited."

Co Canh Xuyen turned each page. It gets darker and darker.

"Are you really going to do it?"

I looked straight at him.

"When you swapped my oxygen tank..."

"You're also very real."

Co Canh Xuyen gritted his teeth.

"I thought..."

"Without you, the studio couldn't exist?"

I only answer one question. Right at that moment. Outside the meeting room door, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded. The receptionist rushed in.

"General Manager Co."

"Son Hai Van Lu's people are here."

"They said they wanted to discuss violating the promotional film contract."

Co Canh Xuyen's face immediately changed.

"Why did they come here?"

The receptionist looked at me awkwardly.

"They said..."

"The author of the plan is here."

Co Canh Xuyen immediately turned to look at me. I calmly looked back at him. Son Hai Van Lu project... Is the studio's biggest contract next month. Foreign affairs... Co Canh Xuyen always said... That was a project he negotiated himself. The first person to send that plan to the partner... was me. At that moment... A middle-aged man wearing a gray dinner jacket walked in. As soon as he saw me... The tension on his face immediately eased.
