Chapter 12 — Reclaim My Company

Trinh Nghien looked at me.

"He wants to buy time."

"As long as the transfer is postponed, the purchasing plan will be stuck, the market will continue to fluctuate."

I put down the tablet.

"He really dares to think."

Trinh Nghien says:

"This type of lawsuit is unlikely to win."

"But enough to make other people sick."

I scooped another spoonful of porridge. Slowly swallow. Each grain of rice floats down your throat. The fire in my chest gradually subsided.

"He and I have never registered our marriage."

"Independent property."

"Records on capital contribution and shares are complete."

"What status does he have?"

Trinh Nghien replied:

"Based on what you said publicly before..."

"'Khai Minh is my common child with him.'"

I gently closed my eyes. A loving sentence from any year... Could also be sharpened into a knife blade by him. Trinh Nghien said:

"In the beginning, I transferred him quite a few large sums of money."

"It's all when the company is short of money."

"I gave him an advance so he could go on business trips and buy research supplies."

"He'll say it's general living expenses."

I put down the spoon. Trinh Nghien looked at me.

"Tham A Hanh..."

"This match tomorrow will be very dirty."

I calmly replied:

"He's already this dirty."

"Not missing that last bit of mud."

The next morning. Before the Board of Directors meeting started... Luc Hanh Chu brought his lawyer. He shaved. Change into a new suit. His face was still haggard. But there was a bit more aggression in his eyes. Hua Man did not come. It is said that Luc's mother took her back to her hometown. Reporters blocked the gate of the residential area. She didn't dare show her face. Luc Hanh Chu walked in front of me. Very quiet voice.

"A Hanh, I don't want to go to this step."

I looked at him.

"Which step is yours..."

"...didn't you go on your own?"

His eye rims turned red.

"Just withdraw the acquisition deal."

"Leave me some shares."

"I will immediately sign my resignation letter."

"It will stop here."

"What if not?"

His lawyer spoke up.

"If not, we will apply for an asset conservation measure."

"Proposal to block the right to dispose of the relevant shares in Ms. Tham's name."

In the meeting room, there was immediately the sound of soft discussions. Chu Thua is no longer here. But the poison he left behind... Several senior managers clearly breathed a sigh of relief. In their eyes... I just need to be pulled back. They still have a way to live. I opened the briefcase. Get a copy of the agreement.

"Luc Hanh Chu."

"Do you remember this?"

He just glanced. His face immediately changed. It is an agreement confirming independent assets and startup assets. Signed six years ago. Right before Khai Minh was officially established. My parents just passed away not long ago. The lawyer was afraid that I would be deceived by someone else. All cooperation partners should be required to sign. At that time, Luc Hanh Chu was still smiling. Say I'm too wary of him. Almost... I didn't sign. Luckily that day... I listened to the advice. I pushed the agreement to his lawyer.

"This agreement is very clearly stated."

"The entire initial capital contribution, technological achievements and benefits from shares of Khai Minh Khoa Tech..."

"...belong to their respective registered entities."

"Not because of love, engagement, living together or being together start a business and become common property."

Luc Hanh Chu's lawyer flipped through the documents very quickly. His face gradually became heavy. Luc Hanh Chu gritted his teeth.

"This agreement has been going on for so many years."

I calmly replied:

"Legal documents are not yogurt boxes."

"It doesn't expire."

Trinh Nghien bowed his head and burst out laughing. I took out my bank statement again. Purchase invoice. Approval form for payment of per diem expenses.

"You said the money I transferred to you was general living expenses."

"What a coincidence."

"Each item has a corresponding procurement document."

"Testing machine."

"Work deposit."

Luc Hanh Chu stared at the stack of papers. The blue veins on the forehead are prominent. I looked at him.

"You think I gave you money that year..."

"...is it because you're so in love that you lose your brain?"

He said nothing.

"...I keep a record of all the money."

In the meeting room, there were a few quiet inhales. I put down the last set of documents.

"There's one more thing."

The projector screen lights up. That is the surveillance camera footage of Khai Minh's office in the early days. Luc Hanh Chu sat in front of his desk. In my hand I hold my signature stamp. Planning to bind a file of documents. At that moment... I walked in from outside the door. Get the seal back. Then say one sentence:

"The company's records must be processed properly."

"Don't touch my seal."

Camera footage... Includes audio recording. The date is clearly written. I looked at him.

"You forgot this part, right? The first time you tried to bypass me to sign the share authorization form, I discovered it."

Luc Hanh Chu's face was as white as ash. The eyes of the Board members also changed. This is no longer an emotional dispute. But it was a plan from a long time ago. Luc Hanh Chu suddenly stood up.

"Tham A Hanh, how many things do you still have left?"
