Chapter 6 — Queen of Startups

I pretended to be surprised: "Is it necessary? After all, Tong Dan is your son..." "It's because he is your son that you understand him clearly." - Tong Nam Lang's voice was as cold as ever - "Since childhood, he has been pampered too much, what he cannot possess, it is better to destroy." I bowed my head and stroked my stomach, hiding the cold light in my eyes. Tong Nam Lang is right - Tong Dan is exactly that type of person. In his previous life, he did not have To Nhuoc Hanh, so he vented all his resentment on me and my unborn child. "Ah, that's right," - Tong Nam Lang changed his tone - "Lawyer Chu has prepared the share transfer papers. You just need to sign it this afternoon." I raised my head, my eyes filled with tears at the right moment: "Nam Lang... this is too precious..." "You deserve it." – He affirmed decisively. "10% is just the beginning. When the children are born, I will transfer more shares to you." An unprecedented determination flashed in his eyes: "The future of the Tong family depends on you and your children." The signing ceremony took place in the meeting room on the top floor of Tong Thi headquarters in the afternoon. Lawyer Chu presented in detail the content of the share transfer. Tong Nam Lang did not leave my hand the whole time, his face full of pride. After signing, he stood up and announced to everyone: "From today, Ms. Giang Man Man officially becomes a shareholder of Tong Thi, holding 10% of the shares and joining the board of directors." Applause rang out from the senior leaders, only Lam Chi Phong's face became stiff, his eyes continuously glanced at Tong Dan who was sitting quietly in the corner of the room. Tong Dan stood there, his face gloomy like the sky was about to storm, his hand holding the documents was so tight it was deformed. A family meeting was convened immediately afterward. The key members of the Song family sat around the long table, the air so stuffy that it could be squeezed out of water. "Considering Tong Dan's behavior today," - Tong Nam Lang got straight to the point - "I decided to adjust his position and shares in the company." Tong Dan jumped up: "Dad!" "The current 5% of shares will be revoked, 3% will be retained, and 2% will be retained. The position of deputy director of the project department will remain the same, but all major decisions must be signed and approved by General Director Lam." – His voice was cold. Lam Chi Phong was clearly startled - obviously he did not expect to be "indicted". I secretly smiled - a master move: using Tong Dan's own confidants to monitor him, both showing fairness and secretly dividing. “Not fair!” – Tong Dan slammed the table and stood up – “Just because of a woman, do you want to destroy your son?!” “Pay attention to what you say!” - Tong Nam Lang shouted loudly - "That's your mother, still pregnant with your siblings!" “She is not my mother!” – Tong Dan screamed like crazy – "She is a fake! Who knows if those children are yours?!" Before he could finish his sentence, a crisp slap rang out — "Shut!" Tong Nam Lang's attack was so strong that Tong Dan's head was tilted, the corner of his mouth was bleeding. “Get out!” - His voice was cold - "If you let me hear such words again, get out of the Tong family for me!" Tong Dan hugged his cheek, his eyes so vicious that they almost turned into knife blades. He glanced around the table, finally stopping his gaze on me - a gaze that sent chills down my spine. But in just a moment, he turned into a pitiful boy. “Dad… I was wrong…” – His voice choked – “I just is... afraid of losing dad's love..." Tong Nam Lang's face softened slightly. I saw that and immediately calmed down and interjected: "Nam Lang, it's good that you know you're wrong. After all, suddenly there are four more younger siblings, who wouldn't be confused..." It sounded like defending, but each sentence hit Tong Dan's pain point. Sure enough, Tong Nam Lang's face darkened again: "Twenty-five years old and still like a child! Go out!" Tong Dan glared at me one last time, then knocked on the door and left. The meeting ended quickly, each member of the Tong family left with different thoughts. That night, at the villa, Tong Nam Lang was still angry. He sat alone drinking strong wine, one glass after another. I brought a glass of hot milk and gently placed my hand on his hand: "Don't drink anymore, it's harmful to your health." Tong Nam Lang put down his glass and rubbed his forehead tiredly: "Are you a failed father? For my son to become like this…” “It's not your fault.” – I leaned on his shoulder – "Some people... are born abnormal." Tong Nam Lang raised his head: "What did you say?" I pretended to hesitate: "You... you shouldn't say..." "Say it!" – He growled. "Last time I cleaned up the books in the study room, I accidentally saw Tong Dan's medical records..." - I lowered my voice - "The doctor diagnosed... antisocial personality disorder tendencies..." Tong Nam Lang's eyes widened as if struck by lightning: "What?! Why don't you know? “Maybe… his mother used to be afraid that I would worry so she hid it.” - I quietly guessed - "The document was stuck in the book Das Kapital, covered very carefully..." Immediately, Tong Nam Lang jumped up and rushed straight to the study room. I leisurely followed, knowing full well he would find the medical report I had carefully fabricated. Although Tong Dan did indeed have signs of psychological abnormalities in his previous life, he was never officially diagnosed. This time, I will make Tong Nam Lang see his son's true nature clearly. There was a frantic sound of flipping things in the study room, followed by an angry curse. I stood at the door, silently watching him trembling as he held the paper, his face showing extreme shock and pain. "No wonder... since I was a child, I liked torturing animals..." - Tong Nam Lang muttered - "I thought it was the naughty nature of boys..." I walked over and hugged him from behind: "Don't be sad anymore, if you know early, there's still time. We can invite the best psychologist..." Tong Nam Lang shook his head slightly, his eyes shining with determination: "No, there are people... who are born devils. From today, I will not be soft on her anymore.” I leaned against his chest, the corner of my lips curled up in a cold smile. Tong Dan, your good days... are really over. It was late at night. I stood in front of the bedroom window and saw a sports car roaring out of the gate of the Tong family's villa - it was Tong Dan, I didn't know where to vent my anger. I gently stroked my belly, feeling four little creatures growing inside. “Tong Dan, it's just the beginning.” – I whispered to the darkness – “The pain you gave me in my previous life, Little by little, I will return it in full.” Phone vibrates. Message from a private detective: "The target is meeting Lam Chi Phong at Nightlight bar, it's all recorded. Will you send it immediately?” I replied: “Not yet. Stay tuned.” Putting the phone down, I lay on the bed, clearly feeling the changes in my body. My four children are my capital, my weapons, and the foundation for me to stand firm in the Song family. Tong Dan, despite his intentions No matter what, can't escape my sight. In this life, I will watch you step by step... self-destruct. 6 Entering the fourth month of pregnancy, my belly was clearly visible, much larger than normal pregnant women. Being pregnant with quadruplets often makes my back and waist ache, but every time I touch my belly and feel every little movement of my baby, all the tiredness turns into sweetness. The morning sunlight penetrated through the window curtains, gently covering the bed. I leaned my back against the headboard and picked up the stack of documents Tong Nam Lang kept on the nightstand. It is Tong Thi's plan to buy a coastal resort. In its previous life, this project caused heavy damage because of fake environmental reports. “You work so early?” – Tong Nam Lang walked out of the bathroom, his hair was still wet. The man is 45 years old, but his physique is still toned, with clear abdominal muscles - completely unlike someone in his fifties. I held up the file: "This project has a problem." He frowned, sat down next to him: "What do you think?" "The environmental report here..." - I pointed to a page - "The indicators are so perfect that it's unrealistic. I checked on the local forum, fishermen said the water has been heavily polluted for the past two years, but the report never mentioned it." Tong Nam Lang frowned, took the document and looked carefully: "The environmental part is in charge of Lam Chi Phong..." "Maybe director Lam was too busy and missed the details." – I said it as lightly as the wind, but the hidden meaning pointed out his serious negligence. In a previous life, Lam Chi Phong and Tong Dan worked together to cover up this incident. Tong Nam Lang pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone: "I will hire an independent evaluation unit to check again." I smiled and said nothing. Since the incident at the hospital, Tong Nam Lang has increasingly trusted my business intuition. In just one month, my "accidental discoveries" helped Tong Thi avoid major losses. Now, within the company, I have a nickname: "lucky pregnant woman." Phone vibrates. Message from the detective: "The target had a violent argument with To Nhuoc Hanh. She left home and is currently in room 2806 of the Four Seasons Hotel. A man arrived at 2 am." I deleted the message, my lips curled slightly.
