Chapter 7 — The Day I Locked 9,200,000 Yuan Into the Trust Fund

I raised my head. The man brought the documents in front of me.

“In addition, 30% of the shares are in your name, if you want to take it easy today…”

“Transfer everything to the trust fund.”

I picked up the pen and signed the document. Trinh Yen's face was pale, her eyes staring at the share transfer form.

“Are you a major shareholder of Thanh Hoa?”

I turned to look at him.

“30% of Thanh Hoa's shares are in my name.”

“My sister just manages it for me.”

Trinh Dao immediately sat limply in the chair.

“No way…”

“I'm just an illustrator…”

The middle-aged man — who is also the general director of legal affairs of the corporation — coldly spoke:

“Miss Hua is one of the founders of Thanh Hoa.”

“The company's entire initial start-up capital came from Ms. Hua's personal funds.”

The mother-in-law opened her mouth for a long time but could not say a word. The director of legal affairs turned to look at Trinh Yen.

“More, Mr. Trinh.”

“Thanh Hoa has just officially ended all cooperation with the planning institute where he is working.”

"Because we discovered that the institute's design plan shows signs of plagiarism, and the person in charge is you."

Trinh Yen immediately stood up.

“Plagiarism?”

"I do not have!"

The legal affairs director took out a stack of documents and placed them firmly on the table.

“Yes or not, the investigation team will come to a conclusion.”

I stood up and adjusted my coat.

“Trinh Yen.”

“You said before, if I leave you, I will be nothing.”

“Can you see clearly?”

My mother-in-law quickly grabbed my hand.

“Tri Y, we are all family, Trinh Yen's job cannot be lost!”

I avoided her hand.

“We are about to stop being family.”

Trinh Dao burst into tears.

“Brother, please beg her!”

Trinh Yen gritted her teeth, her eyes seemed to be staring straight at me.

“Hua Tri Y, do you have to be so cruel?”

I don't answer. Just turned around and left the cafe. The next day, the planning institute where Trinh Yen worked was in complete chaos. Thanh Hoa is their biggest partner. The sudden withdrawal of capital caused the entire institute to suffer heavy losses. Trinh Yen walked back and forth in the office, calling non-stop. Principal Trieu pushed the door and walked in, his face extremely ugly.

“Tieu Trinh.”

“This time, Thanh Hoa's side is very tough.”

“If you don't get a letter of conciliation from them, you can only resign.”

Not knowing where her mother-in-law heard the news, she rushed to the dean's office.

"Old Trieu, we've known each other for many years, can't you help Trinh Yen say a few words?"

Principal Trieu sighed.

“Thanh Hoa's major shareholder personally gave the order.”

“What else can I do?”

Trinh Yen raised his head and asked:

“Who is that major shareholder?”

Director Trieu replied:

“Hua Tri Y.”

Trinh Yen sat down directly on the chair.

“Why her again…”

Mother-in-law gritted her teeth.

“This ungrateful girl really climbed up a high branch and forgot all about her roots!”

Principal Trieu immediately laughed coldly.

“What is the high branch?”

“People are inherently high branches.”

“It's because your family's blind eyes can't see it.”

The mother-in-law's face turned red because she was said to have hurt her heart. In the afternoon, the planning institute held an emergency meeting. I assumed the identity of Thanh Hoa's representative and sat at the head of the meeting table. Trinh Yen stood opposite, holding the report in her hand, head Fingers trembling visibly.

“General Hua, regarding this design plan, we have indeed consulted some documents, but absolutely not to the point of being called plagiarism.”

I flipped through the documents in my hand.

“Refer to unpublished works of people in the industry…”

“Is this also called reference?”

Trinh Yen immediately argued:

“It's an unspoken rule in the industry.”

I closed the file.

“At my company there are no such rules.”

Principal Trieu stood next to him and tried to mediate.

“General Hua, Tieu Trinh just wanted to speed up the project progress.”

“How about… we change to another person in charge?”

I looked straight at Trinh Yen.

“It's okay to change people.”

“But he must publicly admit to plagiarism and apologize to the original author.”

Trinh Yen's face immediately turned pale.

“That would ruin my entire career!”

I calmly replied:

“That is the price you should pay.”

The meeting ended. As soon as I stepped into the hallway, my mother-in-law and Trinh Dao stopped me. The mother-in-law shouted loudly:

“Hua Tri Y, do you have to force my son to death to be satisfied?”

I looked at her.

“He plagiarized himself.”

“It has nothing to do with me.”

Trinh Dao standing next to him immediately followed:

“You're just taking revenge!”

“Because you guys didn't buy me a house!”

Many people in the hallway turned their heads to look. I laughed coldly.

“Your brother took my money to buy a house for you…”

“Even now, do you still take it for granted?”
