Chapter 14 — Reclaim My Company

An official dispatch from core customers requesting the removal of relevant leaders from the project. Fifth page. This is a document signed by the entire research team to confirm that the technology handover has taken place stably. I turned the pages one by one.

"I said Nghien Thach Investment Fund is a competitor, that's not wrong. Therefore, in the agreement it is clearly stated that Nghien Thach Investment Fund only contributes capital, does not merge financial statements, does not dissolve Khai Minh's core research team, and within three years is not allowed to transfer Khai Minh's core technology to any affiliated company. If there is a violation, the compensation will be calculated at three times the transaction value."

Trinh Nghien added:

"I signed it."

I looked at Luc Hanh Chu.

"You said I harmed the interests of small shareholders."

"So when you take money from the company to buy a ring, buy a house, make transactions with related parties..."

"...whose rights are you protecting?"

Luc Hanh Chu pursed his lips. I keep saying:

"You said a company is a company."

"Luc Hanh Chu, this sentence..."

"...what comes out of your mouth is dirty."

The corner of his face twitched slightly. I press the remote. The last page shows a video. It was the night of the listing celebration party. Luc Hanh Chu stood on stage, looked at me and said:

"Please be a little more generous."

The whole auditorium was silent. Hua Man stood next to her, holding her stomach. Chu Thua advised me not to let outsiders see the joke. The video finished playing. No one in the meeting room raised their head.

"This is not a personal matter."

"It is the collective management board that has lost its professional ethics, failed internal control mechanisms, committed acts of transferring benefits and intentionally concealing information."

I look at the independent Board members.

"Please vote."

Voting begins. The numbers on the electronic screen continuously change. Luc Hanh Chu stood still in place. Both eyes stared at the screen. The number of yes votes increased one by one. His breathing became increasingly heavier. The final result appears. Luc Hanh Chu's proposal to dismiss the position of member of the Board of Directors was approved. The plan for Nghien Thach Investment Fund to contribute strategic capital was approved. The plan to restructure the Board of Directors was approved. Luc Hanh Chu's body slightly staggered. He had to put his hands on the back of the chair to keep from falling down. Lips trembling.

"No way..."

The Board Secretary's voice also trembled. But every word is still clear.

"The resolution officially takes effect."

"The next steps will be submitted to the General Meeting of Shareholders and implemented according to the management process."

Trinh Nghien closed the file and stood up.

"General Manager Tham, congratulations."

I did not respond. Just look at Luc Hanh Chu. Suddenly he walked around the row of seats and quickly walked in front of me. Tears immediately welled up.

"Ah Hanh, you are wrong."

"I really know I was wrong."

"Please..."

"Don't let me lose everything."

"I beg you."

This sentence... I've been waiting for a long time. But when I actually heard it... There was no feeling of gloating in my heart. Only an empty space remained.

"Lost everything..."

"...is it so annoying?"

He nodded. Tears fell onto the carpet.

"Uncomfortable."

"Then..."

"...remember this feeling well."

I picked up the documents on the table. Glide past him ta.

"...it's just the beginning."

【Chapter 10】 The night before the General Meeting of Shareholders. Luc Hanh Chu disappeared for three hours. When Lam Dao received the news, her face turned pale.

"General Manager Tham, is he... maybe thinking about it?"

At that time, I was still reviewing the draft to answer shareholders' questions. The tip of the pen stopped on the page. Outside the window. It was dark. Car lights on the street passed by one after another. I just say one sentence. It's not because I'm soft-hearted. But because... Even if a person collapses. Must also collapse within the framework of the law. Half an hour later. Security checks surveillance cameras. Lu Xingzhou entered the old research building. That building has long been out of use. The first version's servers were still piled up in the second-floor computer room. Old tables and chairs. Whiteboard. Everything hasn't been cleaned up yet. When I arrived. There were two guards outside the door waiting. In the hallway. The smell of dust mixed with moisture. The fluorescent light flashed on and off a few times. Makes a very small buzzing sound. The door to the second floor engine room was slightly open. Luc Hanh Chu sat on the ground. Back against the server cabinet. In my arms I held an old keyboard. Heard footsteps.
