Tran My Hoa is really panicking.

“Can you not do that?”

“Chi Cuong was just temporarily confused!”

“He was also instigated by Phong…”

“So that is Tran Phong's intention.”

Tran My Hoa immediately realized that she had said something wrong. The voice became weaker.

“Nem Niem…”

“I'm begging you, please don't sue anymore?”

“Chi Cuong's small company cannot stand this.”

"My family has three children..."

“Three months ago…”

I interrupted her.

“When my whole family was in Sanya sleeping in the presidential suite, drinking tens of thousands of yuan of wine…”

“Has anyone ever thought about me?”

"That's my mother's idea, it has nothing to do with us..."

“Trieu Chi Cuong used his company to falsify inspection reports to denounce me.”

I laughed coldly.

“That has nothing to do with you guys?”

Tran My Hoa was speechless.

“I give you a chance.”

I said slowly.

“Tell Trieu Chi Cuong to write a written apology.”

"Admitted that he was ordered by Tran Phong so he intentionally made a malicious accusation."

“When I received…”

“I will consider withdrawing my application.”

Tran My Hoa stammered.

“Isn't it about forcing Chi Cuong to sell Phong out?”

“You choose yourself.”

I replied leisurely.

“Or Trieu Chi Cuong can bear it alone.”

“Or drag Tran Phong into the water with you.”

“It has nothing to do with me.”

“I just need to be compensated for my losses.”

After speaking, I hung up the phone. Two days later, lawyer Co received a written apology from Trieu Chi Cuong. It was written very clearly: Because of Tran Phong's direction, he used the name of Cam Trinh Trading company to falsify the inspection report, intentionally maliciously denouncing To Niem's online shop. I asked lawyer Co to photocopy this document into two copies for records. As for the original... I haven't used it yet. Just keep it there. The founding anniversary of Star Cosmetics was held at the city's largest exhibition center. That day there were more than three hundred guests attending. Brand representative. Investor. Communication. Famous KOLs and bloggers. The whole hall was crowded with people. I wore a dark blue velvet vest dress, the design was prepared by Phuong Vien. Big wavy hair falls down to her shoulders. On the ears are simple but sophisticated pearl earrings.

“You are really beautiful today.”

Phuong Vien stood next to me and adjusted my collar for me. The awards ceremony took place after the dinner party. I sat in the second row of the brand area, waiting for the MC to read my name.

“Here is the prize…”

“Most potential new brand of the year.”

MC opens the envelope.

“The winning brand is…”

“Founder: To Niem!”

Applause echoed throughout the hall. I stood up and walked onto the stage. The spotlight shines straight down on me. Hundreds of eyes in the stands looked up.

“Thank you Cosmetic Stars platform.”

“Thank you to all customers for always supporting Niem My.”

I stood in front of the microphone, my voice was steady and clear.

“One year ago…”

“I'm still just a small shop owner who makes his own products at home.”

“Can stand here today…”

“I just want to say one thing.”

“A woman's biggest support…”

“It's not about getting a good husband.”

“It's about standing up for yourself.”

The applause in the stands immediately became much louder. I hugged the trophy and walked down to the stage. Phuong Vien rushed to hug me.

“So damn cool!”

“That sentence is really great!”

I laughed and patted her back. Just returned to my seat, electricity phone vibrates. It's a WeChat message from an unknown number whose name hasn't been saved.

“To Niem, congratulations.”

“I'm at the scene.”

“Can we meet alone for a moment?”

I looked at that series of numbers. Unfamiliar.

“Who are you?”

“I am Ma Wentao.”

“Tran Phong's former leader.”

“Last time we met at a meeting.”

"What is up?"

“There is a business cooperation I want to talk to you about.”

“It's not convenient here.”

“Do you have time tomorrow afternoon?”

I thought for a few seconds and then replied: The next afternoon, I met Ma Van Dao at the restaurant as scheduled. He was over fifty years old, had gray hair, and wore an extremely neat gray suit.

“President To, congratulations on winning the award.”

He raised his glass.

“Thank you, General Ma.”

“What are you looking for me?”

“I say it straight.”

He smiled faintly.

“Our company is recently expanding its cosmetics supply chain.”

“Want to find some potential brands for deep cooperation.”

“Your Niem My…”

“It is the number one priority choice.”

“How to cooperate?”

“We provide factories, logistics and quality inspection systems.”

“You just need to focus on product research and marketing.”

“Profits divided five years.”

He wants half of my profits. I put down the glass of water.
