Chapter 7 — My Husband Had an Affair with His Secretary, I Recovered the Hundred Billion Empire I Created

The notification just appeared. The entire technology world immediately shook. Open source code for free? This was like a blow from a higher dimension. An absolute destruction. All phone companies that were negotiating with Phi Pham Khoa Ky immediately changed their attitudes. They simultaneously turned to contact Thien Khai. Competing for the first test spot of the Pan Co system. Meanwhile. The phone in Luc Tham's office almost exploded. Not because of orders. It's because the partners took turns calling to cancel cooperation. But this time... The incoming calls are no longer offers of cooperation. It's a question. Is to cancel the contract. It means cutting off the relationship.

"General Luc, what exactly is Thien Khai's Pan Co system?"

"Phi Pham Khoa Ky, are you hiding anything?"

"Sorry, Mr. Luc. Our company has decided to suspend all cooperation negotiations with your company."

"General Luc, regarding the previously signed principle contract, our legal department will soon contact you to discuss the issue of compensation for violations."

"General Luc, after re-evaluating the risks, our board of directors decided to withdraw from the project."

One call at a time. One by one, every rejection. Like sharp knives stabbing straight into Luc Tham's heart. He tightened his grip on the phone. The blue veins on the back of his hand emerged violently. First time in my life. He feels his world is falling apart piece by piece. Piece by piece. He doesn't understand. Why did Thien Khai — a corporation that has always focused on hardware research — suddenly jump into the field of operating systems? Even more I don't understand. Why did they choose this right moment? Using an almost suicidal method is to open the source code for free. To aim directly at Phi Pham Khoa Ky. Everything is too coincidental. It's such a coincidence that it makes people's hair stand on end. Luc Tham suddenly threw the phone hard against the wall. The phone immediately broke into many pieces. The screen cracked. Glass pieces were scattered all over the office. His eyes were bloodshot. Rapid breathing. His face became distorted due to anger.

"Bui Can..."

"Thien Khai Group..."

He gritted his teeth and read every word. Only blood and madness remained in his eyes. Right at that moment. A thought flashed through my head like lightning. Luc Tham suddenly stood up. His face changed drastically. Diep Khinh Khinh. Thien Khai. The press conference was ruined. The Pan Co system appeared at the right time. Everything seems to be controlled by an invisible hand. But the center of it all... is Diep Khinh Khinh. He immediately rushed to the desk. Grab the desk phone. Enter a series of numbers. As soon as the other end of the wire connects. He shouted an order:

"Go investigate for me!"

"Investigate now!"

"Diep Khinh Khinh and CEO Thien Khai — Bui Can..."

"What does it matter anyway?"

The voice almost screamed:

"I want to know everything!"

"Academic relationship."

"Working relationship."

"Personal relationship."

"Anything must be dug up until it's clean!"

"I don't believe there is such a coincidence in this world!"

After hanging up. Luc Tham stood in front of the ground-level window. Look at the traffic below. His eyes were dark and scary. For the first time... He began to feel for the woman who had lived with him for the past seven years. Seems completely foreign. It seems... He hasn't really understood her. He also had an extremely scary feeling. Perhaps from beginning to end... The person being played with in the palm of his hand. Not Diep Khinh Khinh. It's him. The results of Luc Tham's investigation were quickly sent. The relationship between me and Bui Can is not difficult to investigate at all. We are classmates at the same university. Furthermore, they have a very close relationship. Each photo of Bui Can and I participating in academic competitions and standing on the podium receiving awards was placed right in front of Luc Tham. I'm confident. His eyes were filled with sharpness and intelligence. Completely different from the gentle, peaceful woman he always thought he understood. Luc Tham stared at those photos. Breathing becomes more and more rapid. A terrifying thought began to grow madly in his mind. He doesn't want to believe it. But I couldn't find a reason to deny it. Over the years... Every time I meet someone who helps me. Every business idea that suddenly dawned on him. Every time the company overcomes a crisis. Is it all related to Diep Khinh Khinh? No way! He is the proud son of heaven. A business genius! And Diep Khinh Khinh is just an ordinary woman lucky enough to marry him! Luc Tham frantically hypnotized himself. Repeat that sentence over and over in your head. But the more it repeats. The fear in his heart grew even greater.
