Chapter 24 — The Day I Revoke Eighteen Patents, Is Also the Day I Let You Go

In the next three years, Nam Minh's goal... Valuation is 5,000,000,000 yuan. Every single number is announced. The applause below became louder. Tien Chinh Hai, representing Van Khai, stepped onto the stage. Everyone thinks. He just spoke up to congratulate. He publicly spoke again in front of the entire hall:

"In the past, Van Khai made serious mistakes in determining ownership of research results."

"On this occasion..."

"I officially apologize to Ms. Tham Nam Chi."

The audience immediately stirred. Tien Chinh Hai turned to look at me.

"At the same time..."

"I also thank General Manager Tham."

"After clear ownership."

"Still willing to give Van Khai the opportunity to cooperate in some non-core items."

I nodded slightly.

"I only cooperate based on principle."

"Not based on grudges."

In the last row. Co Thua Nghien stood still. His eyes were full of complexity. The day before. He always wants to turn me into a shadow standing behind him. And today. He can only stand behind the crowd. Quietly watching me shine on stage. After the press conference. A reporter asked me:

"General Manager Tham."

"How do you evaluate Co Thua Nghien now?"

I thought for a few seconds. Then smile.

"You have become the past..."

"No need to evaluate."

Another reporter immediately asked:

"What about Bach Tieu Hoa?"

"As above."

A few bursts of laughter erupted below. Luc Tri Hanh stood behind the scenes. Holding my coat in my hand. I stepped forward. He said softly:

"Very good answer."

I smiled and asked:

"Or in what sentence?"

"As above."

I laughed. After the press conference. Co Thua Nghien no longer looked for me. Vuong Que Phan also disappeared. Bach Tieu Hoa regularly pays his debt every month. Every time I try to wait until the last day to transfer the money. Nam Minh is increasingly busy. So busy that... Sometimes I forget. I spent five whole years in that marriage. Three months later. Hua Minh Duyet rushed into my office holding an invitation.

"Annual Industry Conference."

"The organizers invited you to be the closing speaker."

I raised my head. She placed the card on the table.

"This time..."

"Van Khai also attended."

I opened the guest list. Representative of Van Khai. It's Tien Chinh Hai. Name: Co Thua Nghien. No longer appears in any location. Hua Minh Duyet says:

"I heard he's working as a consultant for a small company."

I had no reaction. She stared at me.

"You really don't care anymore?"

"Now that you mention him..."

"It took me two seconds to remember."

Hua Minh Duyet was satisfied. Conference date. I wore a simple black suit. No more evening gowns. There are no more high heels that make my feet ache. Just entered the hall. Many people proactively came forward to shake hands.

"General Manager Tham."

"Admired for a long time."

"Nam Minh is really developing strongly."

"Target valuation 5,000,000,000 yuan..."

"Maybe even a bit modest."

Hua Minh Duyet leaned close to my ear.

"Did you hear that?"

"They say your goals are still modest."

I smiled. Continue entering. Seeing Co Thua Nghien. He stood next to a company's exhibition booth. On the nameplate. Just write two words. He also saw me. Four eyes met. People move their eyes first. It's him again. The boss standing next to him quietly asked him something. Co Thua Nghien just shook his head. Vuong Que Phan was also present. She dresses much more simply than before. In his hand he carried a cloth bag. Stand quietly in a corner. See me. Her lips moved slightly. But I didn't dare step forward. I passed by. She suddenly called out very softly.

"Nam Chi..."

I stopped. She bowed her head.

"Before..."

"It's me that's not right."

I looked at her. In her eyes. There is ingratiation. There is also remorse. It doesn't make any sense anymore. I just replied softly. Then keep walking. No forgiveness. Also no fuss. New is the most relaxing distance. The conference officially begins. Chu Khai Dan was also present. Just saw me. His face immediately became unnatural. Chu Ngan sat in Nam Minh's partner row. Actively smiled and nodded at me. When the MC introduced my name. Applause echoed throughout the auditorium. I walked onto the stage. The big screen lights up. Displays all results and statistics of Nam Minh. After just six months. Total value of signed contract: 240,000,000 yuan. Team size: 120 employees. Enterprise valuation: 2,800,000,000 yuan. Below, many people groaned softly. I started my speech. Not to mention suffering. No mention of betrayal. I'm just talking about how Nam Minh built a team from scratch. How to turn each project into real results. And how to set transparent rules from the start. Every single number. They all resonate louder than any complaint. After the speech. MC suddenly opened a question and answer session. Someone stood up and asked:

"General Manager Tham."

"The day we left Van Khai."

"Did you ever think this day would come?"

I looked down at the auditorium. Co Thua Nghien is still looking at me. I smiled. The whole hall was silent. I continued.

"But what I thought..."

"It's not about winning against anyone."

"Take back the life that belongs to you."

The applause lasted for a long time. Co Thua Nghien quietly bowed his head. Zhou Kaimin did not clap his hands. And Hua Minh Duyet. Clap until both hands turn red. After the conference. The organizing committee announced the awards. Breakthrough enterprise of the year. Belongs to... Nam Minh Health. I walked onto the stage. Receive the trophy amid resounding applause throughout the auditorium.
