Chapter 16 — The Day You Pulled Your Lover On Stage, I Recovered All My Investment

The video of the listing bell ringing ceremony has been dug up again and again. Every smile Lam Man had when standing next to him that day became new evidence. Trieu Tue Lan did not dare to go out. The Co family's relatives also quarreled loudly online. Co Man showed me the screenshot.

"In the past, my favorite thing was to post a photo of A Trach ringing the bell to join the group."

“Now the group name has been changed to…”

“The Family Try to Stay Awake and Save Themselves.”

I glanced over. Trieu Tue Lan sent more than ten consecutive voice messages. Co Man opened a paragraph. In it was the sound of her crying.

“It's obvious that Lam Man seduced A Trach.”

“Khuong Le's revenge is too cruel.”

“Co Man also helps outsiders.”

“How come our Co family has such kind of relatives!”

Co Man turned off the recording.

“She kicked me out of the group.”

“Are you sad?”

“What's sad?”

“I wanted to leave that group a long time ago.”

“I just couldn't find a suitable reason.”

Contract signing date of the new company. The location is still the old headquarters of Minh Chau. The old sign has been taken down. The new sign is still covered with a layer of red cloth. Chu Du led the staff who chose to stay and stand in the hall. Lam Man also came. She was wearing a normal black suit, no longer wearing her name tag. Standing at the end of the line, holding a stack of documents in hand. Some people looked at her uneasily.

“Why is she here too?”

“Pretending to be a co-founder wasn't enough before?”

“Now you still have the face to appear?”

Lam Man heard it. But no response. Chu Du lowered his voice and asked me:

“Miss Khuong, do you really want to keep her?”

“Probation for one month.”

“If you do something wrong, go away.”

Lam Man raised his head.

“I heard it.”

“It's good to hear.”

Before the signing ceremony began. Co Trach came. He was blocked outside the door by security. His face was even worse than last time.

“Khuong Le.”

“I want to talk to you.”

Chu Du stepped forward.

“Mr. Gu.”

“Today is an internal activity.”

“You don't have an invitation.”

Co Trach looked at him.

“You weren't like this before.”

Chu Du calmly replied:

"Previously, my salary was advanced by Ms. Khuong."

Co Trach's face became unsightly. I went to the door.

"What is up?"

He gave me a bag of documents.

“These are the remaining documents of Minh Chau.”

“I have already rearranged it.”

“It might be useful to you.”

Co Man stood next to him and said softly:

“Weasel wishes the New Year of the Rooster.”

“Can this sentence be used here?”

I glanced at her. She immediately shut her mouth. Co Trach smiled bitterly.

“I know you don't believe me.”

“Khuong Le.”

“I didn't come to ask to go back.”

“I just want to make up for it a little.”

Lam Man stepped up from behind. Just saw the file bag. Her expression immediately changed.

“Don't accept.”

Co Trach turned to look at her.

“What do you want to do?”

Lam Man says:

“What he gave is definitely a trap.”

“Co Trach will never give anything to anyone for free.”

Co Trach was so angry that he burst out laughing.

“It seems like you really understand me now.”

“Before, it was because I understood you too well.”

“That's why I help you do so many dirty things.”

Every employee standing at the door looked over. Co Trach stuffed the file bag into my hand.

“Khuong Le.”

“If you don't dare accept it.”

“Proves that I'm not as good as I thought.”

I received the file bag. Lam Man was impatient.

“Khuong Le!”

I opened the file bag right in front of everyone. Inside is one assignment of responsibilities of the old project. But on the last page. Again, attach an additional appendix. If I sign for it. This means that the new company must bear all the bad debt that Minh Chau left behind. Co Man took a sharp breath.

“It is truly insidious.”

Chu Du's face also darkened. But Co Trach still pretended to be calm.

“Is there a problem with the documents?”

I pulled out that piece of paper.

“Co Trach.”

“Even the cherry trap is getting more and more sketchy.”

The smile on his face stiffened. I gave the paper to Lam Man.

“You see.”

Lam Man received it. Read a few lines. Then turn to all the staff at the door.

“This addendum is fake.”

“New paper.”

“The seal is the old seal of Minh Chau.”

“The old seal is now with me.”

She took out a sealed seal from her pocket.

“Last time Co Trach asked me to take it away.”

“But I haven't given it back to him yet.”

Co Trach's face turned pale. Lam Man looked at him.

“I already said it.”

“I want to live.”

Chu Du immediately took out his phone to take photos for evidence. Co Man laughed until his shoulders shook.

“Old brother-in-law.”

“Today you came to give an opening gift to the new company, right?”

Some of the employees couldn't help but applaud. The applause was not loud. But it's extremely jarring. I returned the file bag to Co Trach.

“Mr. Gu.”

“This story of falsifying documents.”

“You should explain to the police.”

He took a step back.

“Khuong Le.”

“Does it have to be that cruel?”

I calmly replied:

“When you gave me this trap.”

“Isn't that so wonderful?”

Security quickly invited him out. Co Trach stood outside. Quietly watching the red cloth in the hall being pulled down. The new sign appeared. Thanh Hoa Capital. Co Trach's whole body stiffened. Inside and outside the door. Everyone looked towards me. Chu Du softly called:

“Miss Khuong.”

“Phuong Thanh Hoa.”

I walked under the sign. Get the pen.

“From today.”

“This place is no longer called Minh Chau.”

After the four words Thanh Hoa Capital were hung up. Co Trach disappeared for half a month. Next time appears. It was at an investor party. At first I didn't want to attend. Mr. Luong only said one sentence:

“I avoid it even more.”

"Other people are making up stories for you."

“I stand up.”

“They just know when to shut up.”

The party was held at Van Dinh hotel. This place is very interesting. Half a year ago. Co Trach once brought Lam Man here to meet a customer. Then he told me:

“This is a company activity.”

“Can't bring family members along.”

That evening. I cooked hangover soup for him. Wait until two in the morning. The pot of soup cooled three times. And today. I entered from the main gate. The hotel manager personally came to welcome us.

“General Khuong.”

“Mr. Luong has arrived.”

I don't like this way of addressing myself. But the people around heard it.
