Chapter 14 — On the day of divorce, I applied to quit my job

This time he answered very quickly.

"Not really. Tinh Than's business is complementary to Co Thi's. This deal was negotiated half a year ago."

"Half a year ago I was still working at Co Thi."

"What do you mean this has nothing to do with me?"

He sent a sentence.

"It has nothing to do with you. But I won't pretend you don't exist."

I stared at that line for a long time. What is called...

"Don't pretend I don't exist?"

During that marriage, he treated me like air for six years. It's time for a divorce... On the contrary, you say you will "not pretend like I don't exist"? I didn't answer him. Turn off your phone. Incorrect. I stood up. Go to the window. Push the door open. The night wind carries the scent of magnolia blossoms into the room. Cool it. Regardless of his purpose. The only thing I can do... Is before his hand reaches into the East China area of the Spirit. Make this project an irreplaceable one. Do Minh Vien and the senior leadership of Tinh Than are indispensable to me. Let Co Hanh join the Board of Directors. Can't find any reason to replace me either. Use results to prove everything. The next two months, I devoted almost all my energy to those twelve brands. At the end of the month, the overall strategy of the first four brands was handed over. During the evaluation session, Do Minh Vien said:

"This set of plans has a level of completion thirty percent higher than I expected."

During the evaluation session, there were also people from Tinh Than headquarters. A Deputy General Director decided on the spot: the remaining eight brands would have their budget increased to four million yuan, and continued to be assigned to Chieu Bach to implement. Four million yuan. When I returned to the office, Phuong Du was sitting on the sofa editing the design. As soon as she saw me walk in, she immediately asked:

"What was the result?"

"Approved increase."

"How much more?"

"Four million. A total of six million four hundred thousand yuan."

Phuong Du's pen slipped off the tablet and fell to the ground: "How much did you say?"

"Six million four hundred thousand yuan. Including the actual behind-the-scenes implementation costs."

She jumped up, hugged me and spun me around twice: "Lin Chieu, you're crazy! You're really crazy!" Being shaken by her until she was dizzy, I quickly pushed her away: "Calm down, the work isn't done yet."

"You're too amazing. Just three months after starting your own business, you already received a contract of more than six million yuan. Do you know how many people who opened a studio after three years still only received a few projects of five or eighty thousand yuan?"

"It's just luck meeting the right client."

"Stop being modest. This is real strength."

I smiled, sat down, opened the computer, and continued making the progress chart. That is real strength. Six years by Co Hanh's side were not wasted. The experiences of writing plans, building strategies, and coordinating resources to help him have, little by little, become my own abilities. Does he really think that if his assistant leaves him, he will have no value? Does he think those abilities belong to the position of "Assistant General Director of Co Thi Group"? Even more wrong. That's mine. From beginning to end... It's all mine. In the third month of the project, Co Thi officially acquired Tinh Than Cultural Group complete. On the day of the press conference, I watched the livestream online. Co Hanh stood on stage giving a speech, his suit was neat, his expression calm, still as leisurely as he always handled work. He said: "Spirit Van Hoa is a very excellent business. After Co Thi joins, we will still retain the autonomy in decision-making of the current management." Maintain autonomy in decision-making of current management. I pondered that sentence over and over again. If he really does what he says, then Do Minh Vien's project will not be affected, and my contract will also be safe. But if you just say one thing and do another... That's a different story. Half an hour after the press conference ended, Do Minh Vien sent me a WeChat message:

"Don't worry. General Manager Gu recently had a private meeting with us and made it clear that the East China region's outsourcing projects will not change the current approval process."

I answered with one word: But I know. It's only temporary. The first three months after new capital flows in is always the honeymoon period. Three months later is when we will know the real results. The only thing I can do... Is in these three months, make everything a fait accompli. Continue burying yourself in work. By the eleventh week, out of twelve brands, three brands were officially put into operation, and the figures all exceeded expectations. Among them is a handmade jewelry brand named Thap Quang, which in just the first month after its launch, achieved revenue of two hundred and eighty thousand yuan, five times more than before.
