Co Than lost patience and shouted loudly.

“Even a To Tham can't solve it?”

“Just send the dismissal letter straight to her email!”

The HR director was about to cry.

“No… that's not true.”

“We… can't fire her.”

Co Than stood up. His eyes became gloomy.

“What did you say?”

“A lowly employee.”

“If I want to get fired, then get fired.”

“Who dares to say a word?”

The HR director swallowed hard. Difficulty opening mouth.

“She just sent an email.”

“Please take a month off.”

Co Than smiled coldly.

"On leave?"

“Who approved?”

“Did I agree?”

The human resources director bowed lower. The voice was as small as a mosquito's cry.

“It's marriage leave.”

“Marriage leave?”

Co Than's eyebrows immediately furrowed. He just finds this funny. Just wild.

“Who did she marry?”

“But asked for a leave of absence to get married?”

“Didn't she…”

Speaking of this. He suddenly stopped. A thought that even he couldn't believe. Even felt scared. Suddenly appeared in my mind. As if to confirm that speculation. The HR director trembled. Pushed a file in front of him.

“A copy of the marriage certificate of you and Ms. To Tham.”

“Saved in the system records.”

“According to company regulations.”

“Employees are entitled to marriage leave by law.”

Co Than's pupils suddenly contracted. He stared at the file. Even breathing becomes difficult. But the next words of the HR director. Again, like a heavy hammer blow. Completely crushed the last bit of hope in his heart.

“President To.”

“Also the company's largest shareholder.”

“At the same time…”

“It's your father-in-law.”

“Just sent an email.”

“Says he will personally come to the company to inspect.”

In that moment. Co Than felt his whole world collapsed. President To? Isn't that... It was the man who called him yesterday. Are you saying you will withdraw all your investment capital? Isn't that... The person he always thought he was. Just a small boss who fell into disfavor. Do we have to rely on his face to live? How can it be... The largest shareholder of Co Thi Group? No way! Absolutely impossible! He snatched the file from the human resources director's hand. A copy of that familiar marriage certificate. Like a slap in the face. Hit him hard in the face. Two names. Dazzling to the extreme. He remembered. Three years ago. The day two people register their marriage. He didn't care at all. Just take it as a given. To deal with the To family's request. He had never even looked closely at To Tham's household registration book. Don't even know. In company regulations. There is also a marriage leave regime. From start to finish. He always sees To Tham as an item that can be had. It's okay if you don't have it. A place for him to vent his anger at will. If you want to fight, then fight. If you want to scold, scold. He never thought. The woman I despise the most. There is a huge force behind it. So big. He is simply not qualified to offend. Co Than sat down in his chair absent-mindedly. Mouth mumbling.

“Sure…”

“This is just a dream.”

Lieu Y Y realized something was unusual. She swayed into the office.

"What's up?"

“Just a human resources manager.”

“Why are you angry with him?”

She was just about to sit on Co Than's lap. Gu Than like see ghosts. He pushed her away forcefully. Lieu Y Y was pushed and staggered. The heel of the shoe is tilted to one side. Almost fell to the ground. Her eye sockets immediately turned red with self-pity. Right at that moment. The office door was pushed open by someone. A group of people wearing black suits. The atmosphere is oppressive. Surrounded by a spirited old man. Slowly walk into the office. The leader. It is To Tham's father. To Chan Bang. Walk behind him. Is the most elite team of lawyers of To Thi Group. To Chan Bang's eyes were as sharp as a eagle. Scan through every person in the office. Stopped on Co Than's pale face. His voice is not loud. But it was so majestic that no one dared to raise their head.

“Where is my daughter?”

Co Than's whole body trembled. He tried to stand up. A forced smile appeared on his face, which was more unsightly than crying.

“Why… why did you come here?”
