Chapter 16 — Mother-in-law Chooses Ex-Love

Also good. If Bach Nguyet Quang were willing to step down from the altar, being a normal person would still be better than being moldy in some stupid dog blood scenario. The interaction between me and Van Thoi Nghien is becoming less and less. After Tu Quang's capital call ended, I completed the thematic legal report and the project was archived. During the celebration party, the representative of Tinh Hanh brought a glass of wine to invite me.

"Lawyer Sam, this time thanks to you, we were able to prevent risks. We have an upcoming medical M&A fund project and would like to invite you to continue to be an annual advisor."

I raised my glass: “Send the contract to my assistant.” The best cure for adults is new customers. At the end of that year, the team's revenue that I led broke a record. At the law firm's year-end party, the general boss patted me on the shoulder.

“Chieu Vi, next year the Board of Directors has an empty seat, please consider it.”

I said: "We can consider it, but let's discuss the percentage first." The boss immediately withdrew his hand: "You really don't have any emotional passion at all." I seriously replied: "Boss, emotional passion cannot be used to pay for a home loan." The boss was so angry that he laughed and scolded me. But the next day, the financial department still sent a new division plan. I looked at the email and thought to myself: Indeed, after canceling the marriage, my career took off. My wife is more direct. My aunt called me: "Chieu Vi, will that director Van look for you again in the future?" I replied: “Sometimes I send emails.” She lowered her voice: "His temper is okay, but his mother is too scary. Don't be soft-hearted." I smiled: "Don't worry, my heart is very hard." My uncle, standing next to me, interjected: "It's good to have a hard heart. Young people have to take care of their careers, don't let some lazy people get in your way." I teased: "Stop watching short videos, say something that sounds like a moral sentence." He snorted: "This is your life experience." I hung up and continued to edit the contract. Outside the window it is pouring rain. On the computer screen, red edit lines are scattered. I suddenly remembered the bowl of fish maw soup at the engagement party that year. When the 5 carat ring sank into it, I didn't feel sorry. Now even more so. No matter how expensive a diamond ring is, wearing it on the wrong hand will still look awkward. 12 Three years later, I became a member of the Board of Directors of Trung Hanh law firm. The title printed on a business card is so long that one line cannot finish. Tieu Dao went from being a trainee lawyer to a salaried lawyer, Manh Kim jumped to the position of Legal Director, A Vu became my senior secretary, scolding the new person even more cruelly than me. She often hangs a sentence in her mouth:

“Boss Sam said, I'm not afraid of much evidence, I'm just afraid of going to court and crying.”

I immediately corrected myself when I heard it: "It's okay to cry. After crying, remember to take a screenshot and save it." Over the past few years I have worked on many projects. Medical device mergers and acquisitions, semiconductor patent wars, cross-border data compliance, fights for control of listed companies. Customers come and go, stories change from one layer to another. The only thing that hasn't changed is, I'm still very busy, still really like to make money, and still don't like to hear others teach me how to be "tolerant". Van Thoi Nghien has always been single since then. Self Health Day Quang went public (IPO), he sent me an email. Very short title: “Thank you.” The content is also very short.

"When I rang the bell, I remembered the image of you in the meeting room helping that year's capital raising round avoid a big risk. I also remembered many things I should have done better earlier. Chieu Vi, I wish you all the best."

After reading, I texted back 5 words: "Wishing Tu Quang prosperity."
