"What is up?"

“Nem Niem…”

Trinh Tu Lan's eyes turned red.

“Mom came to apologize to you.”

“The past half year… it was my mother who was wrong.”

“Mom, you shouldn't treat me like that.”

“You shouldn't make me spend that much money.”

“Shouldn't be in Sanya either…”

“Mrs. Trinh.”

I interrupted her.

“Today you came to apologize…”

“It's because I really feel like I was wrong…”

"Or because Tran Phong lost the case, everyone is afraid that I will continue to pursue him?"

Her lips trembled. Can't even say a word.

“I guess it's the latter.”

I turned to look at Tran Hao.

“The testimony of your brother-in-law, Trieu Chi Cuong…”

“still in my hand.”

“The story about him falsifying the inspection report…”

“I can absolutely sue privately.”

Tran Hao's face immediately turned pale.

“Sister-in-law… no, sister To…”

"That's what Mr. Phong told my brother-in-law to do..."

“It has nothing to do with us…”

“Not related?”

I looked at him.

“Three spam accounts gave my shop bad reviews…”

“All use your shipping address to register.”

Tran Hao's mouth opened and then closed again. Just like a stranded fish lacking oxygen.

“I'll make it clear today.”

I looked at all three of them.

“I will not continue to pursue any further.”

“But there is one condition.”

“What conditions?”

Trinh Tu Lan asked immediately.

“From today onwards…”

“The entire Tran family…”

“don't appear in my life anymore.”

“Don't call.”

“No texting allowed.”

“Don't come to my studio.”

“Also, don't mention my name anywhere.”

“If anyone violates…”

“All the evidence in my hand will be submitted.”

“People who need to sue can sue.”

“If you need to report to the police, do so.”

“We agree!”

Trinh Tu Lan nodded continuously.

“All agree, all agree.”

I looked at Ly Binh.

“The lipsticks and skincare you took from me…”

“makes a total of 12,000 yuan.”

“Within three days, transfer the money to me.”

Ly Binh's face turned red. Obviously very uncomfortable. But under Trinh Tu Lan's coercive gaze... in the end, she still had to nod.

"Alright."

“Everyone go.”

Trinh Tu Lan stood up. Hesitated for a few seconds then opened his mouth again:

“Nem Niem…”

“You are a good girl.”

“It's the Tran family who is at fault with you.”

I looked at her. Say nothing. She sighed. Then lead Tran Hao and Ly Binh to leave. When walking to the door... Ly Binh suddenly turned his head to look at me. Lips moved slightly. Like I wanted to say something. But in the end still didn't say it. Just follow quietly. I stood in the middle of the hall... watching their backs disappear through the revolving door. The security guard came over and asked:

“General To, are you okay?”

"No problem."

I smiled slightly.

"Thank you."

I turned around and walked into the elevator. Press the sixth floor button. The moment the elevator door closed... I let out a long sigh. It's over. It's really over. Li Ping's 12,000 yuan... was delivered the next day. I looked at the payment receipt notice. The corners of the lips curl up slightly. Then turn off the phone... continue working. The story of the lawsuit quickly spread throughout the local cosmetics world. It wasn't transmitted by me. But because the reporter wrote another follow-up article. The title is:

“Female entrepreneur wins lawsuit: Group of slandered ex-husbands awarded 100,000 yuan in compensation.”

The article just posted... My Weibo increased by 50,000 followers. Many people commented:

“You are so beautiful.”

“This is the look an independent woman should have.”

The actual effect is even more obvious. There are up to three The brand actively sought me out to discuss collaboration. Among them is "Nhan Cuu So"... the largest cosmetics store chain in the city. They want to put Niem My products into the offline sales system. The purchasing director of Nhan Cuu So sat across from me, flipping through the product catalog and saying:

“We currently have 23 stores across the city.”

“The average number of visitors per month is about 150,000.”

“Your online database is very nice.”

“But the offline channel is still blank.”

“We can help you supplement this.”

“What is the profit sharing ratio?”

“30% for us.”

“70% for you.”

“We are responsible for importing the first batch of goods.”

“If not sold out, it will be refunded.”

Conditions are quite good.

“I need to think more.”

“Will reply in three days.”

“Hope we can cooperate happily.”

After seeing the purchasing director off... I opened the computer to try some math. If all 23 stores are stocked… according to the most conservative estimate… each store has a revenue of 20,000 yuan per month… then offline revenue will increase by 460,000 yuan. Adding more than 3,000,000 yuan in current online sales... the total monthly sales will exceed 4,000,000 yuan. Annual revenue… nearly 50,000,000 yuan. I leaned back in my chair... looking at the numbers on the screen. A year ago... I was still having a headache because of the 200,000 yuan my mother-in-law demanded. And now… 200,000 yuan is just my profit for one week. I picked up the phone and texted Phuong Vien:

“There is an opportunity for offline channel cooperation.”

“Come out and eat tonight, help me analyze it.”

“Go now!!!”

That night while eating... Phuong Vien heard this and immediately slammed his chopsticks on the table.

“Must cooperate!”

“The offline channel is connected…”

“You are officially a multi-platform brand!”

“I think so too.”

“However, sales volume will increase sharply.”

“Supply chain pressure is also greater.”

“Didn't you just receive 2,000,000 yuan in investment capital?”

“Money that needs to be spent must be spent.”

I nodded.

“I will answer them tomorrow.”

“Nem Niem.”

Phuong Vien suddenly put down his chopsticks. Seriously look at me.

“You know…”

“Sometimes I feel…”

“Divorce is the best decision of your life.”
