Chapter 12 — On the day of divorce, I applied to quit my job

I sat at my desk thinking for ten minutes. Then make a decision. But not now. First I must clearly investigate the true context of this project. Then decide whether to accept or not. If this is a clean opportunity. So why didn't I accept it? And if there is Co Hanh's shadow behind me... I have to accept it even more. Get it and do it well. For everyone to see. Lam Chieu I... Don't need anyone's alms. I replied to the email:

"Hello, Mr. Do. I will conveniently meet next week to discuss. Please let me know the time and location."

Close the mailbox. I suddenly realized that the corners of my lips were slightly raised. Not for fun. It's because... I bowed my head and looked at the copy of Chieu Bach Consulting Office's business license lying in a drawer. No matter who brought this opportunity. Once it falls into my hands... It will be mine. Lam Chieu me. Will not make anyone else's wedding dress again. Do Minh Vien met me at a club in the east of the city. In the private room, tea is already brewed. He arrived ten minutes earlier than the appointment time. About fifty years old. Hair is neatly combed. Always bring a smile when talking. But his eyes are very sharp.

"Director Lam, I've admired you for a long time."

"Mr. Do is polite. Let's get straight to the project."

He poured two cups of tea. Push a cup in front of me.

"Twelve affiliated creative cultural brands, covering three areas: lifestyle aesthetics, original design and artistic derivative products. What we need is a complete system of brand positioning and communication strategy, not discrete solutions."

"How's the progress?"

"Three months to complete the overall strategy, six months to evaluate implementation effectiveness."

"Is two million four hundred thousand yuan the entire project budget or the consulting fee?"

"It's a consulting fee. Actual implementation costs will be calculated separately."

This is not like a charity. But it's like a real cooperation deal. But there's still one thing. I must confirm.

"Mr. Do, there is a question I want to ask directly."

"Just say it."

"Does this project have anything to do with Co Thi Real Estate?"

His hand holding the cup of tea paused.

"Why do you ask that?"

"I used to work at Co Thi before. If this project has any intersection with Co Thi, I need to know in advance."

Do Minh Vien put down the tea cup. Lean back in the chair.

"I'm telling you the truth."

"This project has nothing to do with Co Thi."

"But if you ask me how I found out about you..."

"Last month, at an industry party, someone mentioned you."

"Said that recently there was a person who just left Co Thi and is very good at running the brand."

"That person is Luc Dich."

"He also attended the party that day?"

"He is a curatorial partner contracted with Spirit Culture Group."

"When people mentioned that the brand incubator was lacking an operations consultant, he introduced her."

My heart slightly relaxed. Introduced by Luc Dich. Not Co Hanh.

"But you still found out about my acquaintance with Co Hanh?"

Do Minh Vien laughed.

"You investigated very carefully."

"It's business."

"If you want long-term cooperation, you must know each other's context clearly."

"I agree."

He smiled, gently patting the table top.

"Then I'm telling the truth."

"I really did eat with Co Hanh."

"But that's just it is the party of the industry."

"Sit at the same table as arranged."

"I've never even made friends on WeChat."

"This project is a budget approved by the headquarters of Tinh Than Cultural Group."

"Completely unrelated to Co Thi."

"You can accept it with confidence."

I nodded.

"I will review the contract."

"If there's no problem, sign next week."

"Frankly."

Leave the club. I stood in the parking lot. Call Luc Dich.

"You introduced me?"

The other side seems to be eating something. The voice is a bit unclear.

"What's wrong?"

"Thank you."

"What politeness."

"If I have the ability, I can introduce it."

"If I become a useless person, even if I introduce it, it will only ruin my reputation."

I hung up the phone. It was also completely dark. Two million four hundred thousand yuan consulting fee. If this project does well. That will be the first major project since Chieu Bach was founded. Do it successfully. My name will also have a place in the industry. The next day. I frankly told General Director Chu about registering my own company.

"General Manager Chu, I originally intended to wait for results before speaking. But Do Minh Vien's project is too big, after receiving it, I probably won't be able to continue balancing my full-time job."

He leaned back in his chair. Look at me for a long time.

"Are you planning to quit your job?"

"It's up to you. If you see a conflict..."

"What conflict?"
