Chapter 3 — Secretary Slap Me? I turned my hand and caused the whole company to go bankrupt
Not long after that, Chu Duc's mother came from the countryside. A cunning, bitter and calculating rural woman. She proudly moved into the house I paid for. But he always acted like a superior, ordering me around like a resident. She criticized the food I cooked for not liking her taste. Criticizing my floor for not cleaning it cleanly. Criticize me for wasting money. The words that appear most often in her mouth are:
"Our family Chu Duc is now a person with a future."
"The kind of woman like you who can't give birth is simply not worthy of him."
She forced me to drink all kinds of folk medicine of unknown origin. The taste is strange and nauseating. It is said to "ensure the birth of a son". I drank until I vomited. After vomiting, you must continue drinking. But my husband, Chu Duc... From beginning to end, he just stood there and watched. Even every time I looked at him for help. He avoided my eyes. Then calmly said:
“My mother also wants the best for us.”
Because I want to be good for him. So it doesn't matter how much I get hurt. The last drop of water overflowed the glass... It was that unwanted baby. that day. During the argument, my mother-in-law pushed me. I rolled down the stairs. Fresh blood dyed the whole dress red. It also took away the little life that had not yet taken shape in my belly. Lying on the cold surgical table. I lost my child. Also lost the last bit of illusion about this marriage. I was in the hospital for a week. During those seven days. Chu Duc only came to visit me once. In less than ten minutes, he hurriedly left. He said:
“The company is bidding on a large project.”
“So busy these days.”
"Bach Vy can't handle it alone, I have to go back to the company to take care of it."
I looked at that handsome but unfamiliar face. Look at the unconcealed irritation and impatience in his eyes. That moment. My heart was completely numb. Ashes are no longer there. From the date of discharge from the hospital. I no longer consider Chu Duc my husband. He is just someone temporarily living in my house. One housemate is present to complete the number. That's all. I'm still waiting. Wait for a suitable opportunity. An opportunity to pull him from the clouds straight into the abyss. Falling to the point of paralysis. Falling until you can't get up forever. And today... That opportunity is finally here. I pulled myself out of those hellish memories. His eyes once again stopped on Chu Duc's pale face. I looked at him. The corners of his lips curled up into a sarcastic smile.
“Chairman Chu.”
“Now... am I qualified to enter here?”
My voice is very light. But it was like a sledgehammer hitting Chu Duc's chest hard. His lips trembled. Want to say something but can't say it out loud. Instinctively, he reached out to grab me.
“Nem Niem…”
“I heard you explain…”
“This is just a misunderstanding…”
I immediately turned around to avoid it. His eyes were filled with undisguised disgust.
“Don't touch me.”
“I feel dirty.”
Chu Duc's arm stiffened in midair. His face completely lost all color. I don't bother looking at him again. But turned to Uncle Tan.
“Uncle Qin.”
“What is the first principle in investment of Thinh Vu Group?”
Uncle Tan immediately stood up straight. The voice echoed loudly as if reporting public service job.
“Report, Miss.”
“The first principle of Thinh Vu is:”
“The person in charge of the project has poor moral character and corrupt ethics…”
“Remove immediately.”
Each word clearly echoed throughout the room. Don't miss anyone. The leaders sitting here are all in charge of subsidiaries under Thinh Vu. Just in the blink of an eye. Everyone understands what I mean. The look towards Chu Duc also changed. From surprise... Turned into pity. Then finally, contempt. I nodded with satisfaction. Then put your hand out.
“Give me the contract.”
“Yes, young lady.”
Uncle Tan did not hesitate at all. Immediately took out the newly signed contract from the briefcase, still smelling of new ink. Then he respectfully gave his hands to me. It was a contract worth 10,000,000 yuan. It is also the last brick before Chu Duc company officially steps onto the stock exchange. It is the result of countless sleepless nights. It's something he has to drink countless times to redeem. I accepted the contract. Didn't even bother to glance. Right in front of everyone. Right before Chu Duc's terrified and desperate eyes. I tore it in half. The sound of tearing paper was deafening. I let go. The two pieces of paper are like two butterfly wings broken in half. Gently falling onto Chu Duc's shiny leather shoes.
"Are not--!!!"
Chu Duc let out a miserable scream. The whole person almost collapsed. He rushed towards me. Want to grab my arm. But he was immediately stopped by Uncle Tan's bodyguard. Can only stand behind the line. Screaming and crying in despair.
“Nim Niem!”
“You are wrong!”
“You really know it's wrong!”
“Please don't do that!”
“Give me a chance!”
“I can't destroy you like that!”
I looked at his miserable appearance. Just found it funny. I slowly walked forward. Stand in front of him. Separated by a line of bodyguards. High above looking down. The voice is not loud. But every sentence and every word pierced straight to the heart.
