Chapter 9 — Never Look Down on Women

He trembled, as if all his strength had been drained from him.

"No way! You're lying to me!"

“Whether I lied or not… you should go see the medical examination report when she entered the camp and you'll know.”

I stood up. Returning to her cold queen appearance. I slipped the check into his hand. Then gently... patted his face. Like comforting a pet.

“Co Thanh, remember carefully.”

“You… don't even have the qualifications to be my backup.”

“I'm just… someone who blames others.”

I didn't bother to look back at his face that looked like the apocalypse had just fallen. Turn around, surrounded by countless flash lights, leisurely walking towards your car. Behind... there was a scream that no longer sounded like a human voice. Ripping the air. Co Thanh's life. Right at that moment. It's really... over. 16 The falling dust settled That pitiful scream... became the final note of the symphony of revenge. He was like a puddle of mud, collapsing in front of the company gate. Empty eyes, drool running from the corner of the mouth, mouth repeating three words.

“It's not me…”

An ambulance rushed in with sirens, carrying that soulless body... straight to the mental hospital. The reporter recorded the entire scene. The next day, all the hot search headlines... belonged to him.

"The dream of a wealthy family collapsed! The former general director of the Co clan turned into a scoundrel and collapsed on the spot!"

The accompanying photo... is the moment I stuffed the check into his hand, and his face... was in utter despair. The three words "dumpster"... are like a burning scar, deeply engraved into his name. He... became a laughing stock. A joke of the century level. Khuong Ninh and I sat on the sofa in the top floor office, looking at the news screen. She raised her glass of champagne.

“Congratulations idiot of the century.”

I clinked glasses with her.

“Thank him… for bringing so much joy to my life.”

The wine flows down the throat, sweet as victory itself.

“Ah yes, how is On Nha's side?” I asked.

Khuong Ninh scrolled through her phone, reading the latest news.

“The examination report when entering the camp is out, it is true that she is pregnant.”

"The police followed the clues you gave and confirmed that she was involved in many transnational fraud cases."

“Plus the accusations from David Green's family... this time, life imprisonment is still a light sentence.”

“It is truly retribution.”

I nodded, everything was in anticipation. I wired the informant... the final amount. Twice as much as the original deal. He replied very quickly.

“Miss Tham, you are the most generous customer I have ever met.”

I replied.

“You are the most professional partner I have ever worked with.”

“From here… everyone goes their separate ways, everyone is at peace.”

He sent an “OK” symbol. Transaction ended. No more debt. From that day... in this world, no one will know that behind my revenge... there was such a person. All sins. It's all my responsibility alone. Of course. All glory... belongs only to me. After dealing with everything, I put all my attention into rebuilding Tham Thi Group. I held a general meeting. Standing on the podium, looking down at thousands of employees below. Their faces carried confusion, insecurity... and a little curiosity. I don't say flowery words. Just say three sentences.

“First, from today, forget Miss Co, there is only Miss Tham here.”

“Second, the entire staff thirty percent salary increase, double bonus at the end of the year."

“Third, I don't care whose side you were in before, I only look at your ability and loyalty.”

"Capable people go up, useless people go down, traitors... go away."

Three short sentences. But it was enough to make the whole hall... from silent to explosive. Increasing salary... is the fastest way to retain people. As for my assertiveness... it makes them both see the opportunity and feel the pressure. A new era… has begun. My era. The era of Tham Nguyet. After the meeting, I returned to the office alone. I walked to the wall and pulled down the black cloth covering a picture frame. Inside… is a portrait of my father. He was still the same as ever, elegant, calm, his eyes carrying profound wisdom. I looked at him... my eyes warmed slightly. I called softly.

“I'm home.”

“I took back everything… that belonged to my house.”

“I saw it… right?”

The sunlight shines in from the window. Fall onto the painting. His smile... seemed to warm up in that moment. He saw. My revenge… is the best answer for you. And my new life... will be a continuation of his glory. 17 New Order Tham Thi's return... was like a big rock thrown into the seemingly calm waters of the business world. Ripples spread. There are observers. There are doubters. And there are also people... starting to rekindle unclean plans. Ly Hong Xuong, chairman of Hong Hai Group, is an old fox who made his fortune through speculative profiteering. He originally didn't like the Co family, but now that he saw them collapsing, he wanted to take the opportunity to come to me... to make some profit. He targeted the Nam Thanh area development project that Tham Thi was pursuing. That is the core strategy for the next ten years, laid down by my father while he was still alive. Ly Hong Xuong wanted to step in and share a share. He arranged to meet me, the location was a private room in his private club. I arrived on time. In the room, besides him, there were also several sleek men, their eyes looking at me could not hide the scrutiny and contempt.

“Oh my, President Tham is truly a talented young man.”

Ly Hong Xuong patted his beer belly and smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

"A woman can make that boy named Co so miserable... it's not simple, it's not simple."

The words sounded like a compliment, but were full of condescension. I didn't bother to respond. Pull up a chair, sit down.
