Expressions change. Co Man took my arm.

“Get used to it.”

“They used to call you Mrs. Co.”

“Now call you General Khuong.”

“At least it doesn't sound unpleasant.”

Lam Man walked behind. Holding documents in hand.

“General Manh is also coming.”

I looked at her. She immediately explained:

“It was the hotel owner who wanted to take me away last time.”

“Van Dinh Hotel has his shares.”

Co Man's eyes immediately lit up.

“Looks like there's a good show to watch tonight.”

“Is there something fun to watch?”

Lam Man glanced at her.

“Can't you hope for anything better?”

"Cannot."

In the banquet hall. Co Trach is standing next to General Manh. He became noticeably thinner. The suit on my body no longer fits as well as before. General Manh patted him on the shoulder and laughed loudly:

“Mr. Gu.”

“To be human, one must know how to contract and stretch.”

“If you would have listened to me earlier.”

“Minh Chau did not end up like this.”

Co Trach's face was very ugly. But still had to force a smile. Right when Lam Man walked in. General Manh's eyes immediately glued to her.

“Man Man, come here.”

Lam Man stood behind me.

“General Manh.”

“Now I am a member of Ms. Khuong's side.”

Co Man muttered softly:

“Someone from Ms. Khuong's side?”

“It sounds like we are dividing the mountain into factions.”

Lam Man didn't pay any attention to her. General Manh looked at me.

“General Khuong.”

“Admired for a long time.”

“Because of an ex-husband, she made such a big deal out of it.”

“It's true that women have courage.”

This statement sounds extremely harsh. The people around me were waiting to see my reaction. I smiled.

“General Manh is floating fishing because of a woman.”

“Men are no less.”

Some people bowed their heads and laughed. General Manh's face immediately darkened.

“Just knowing how to speak sharp words cannot support a company.”

Finally, Co Trach spoke up.

“Khuong Le.”

"Today, General Manh came to discuss cooperation."

“Am I involved?”

“Thanh Hoa has just been established.”

“Need resources.”

“General Manh is willing to give you a chance.”

I looked at him.

“Are you now turning into his broker?”

One sentence made Co Trach's face turn pale. General Manh burst out laughing.

“General Khuong.”

“Don't say such harsh words.”

“A little initial investment capital in your hand can overthrow Minh Chau.”

“But that doesn't mean you can stand firm in this world.”

"If everyone raises their head and doesn't see it, they will still meet if they bow their head."

“We should leave a path for each other.”

Lam Man stood behind and said softly:

“He wants me to take on the ruined project of Van Dinh Hotel.”

I calmly replied:

“Tong Manh's road is too slippery.”

“I'm not going.”

General Manh placed the wine glass firmly on the table.

“Khuong Le.”

"Don't invite alcohol, if you don't drink, you'll want to drink alcohol as punishment."

Co Trach lowered his voice.

“Khuong Le.”

“Listen to me.”

"Tong Manh is not someone you can offend."

I looked at him.

“You've said the same about yourself before.”

Co Trach immediately became speechless. General Manh laughed coldly.

“Then let everyone take a look.”

“How much bravery does Thanh Hoa Capital have?”

He glanced at the host on stage. The host immediately took the microphone and announced:

“Tonight will add a special exchange.”

“Everyone is invited to ask questions to Thanh Hoa Capital, the company is receiving a lot of attention This."

Co Man cursed in a low voice.

“Isn't this the council?”

The big screen on the stage lit up. The first photo appears. It's a photo of me cooking in the old Co family's kitchen. I don't know where Trieu Tue Lan appeared from. She held the microphone and cried while saying:

“Everyone look.”

“She married into the Co family for five years.”

“Just a housewife.”

“Now suddenly turned into some kind of boss.”

“Can you believe it?”

The scene immediately became noisy. Co Trach's face changed.

“What are you doing here, Mom?”

Trieu Tue Lan cried even louder.

“If mom doesn't come.”

“You will be trampled into the mud by it.”

General Manh stood next to watch the comedy show. The host asked:

“Miss Khuong.”

“Can you explain the capital source of Thanh Hoa Capital?”

I haven't even opened my mouth yet. Lam Man stepped forward.

“I can explain.”

Everyone simultaneously looked towards her. Lam Man put the documents on the screen.

“Five years ago.”

“Minh Chau's first startup capital came from Phuong Thanh Hoa.”

“Three years later.”

“Every time Minh Chau falls into crisis.”

“The person who continues to pour capital is still Phuong Thanh Hoa.”

"Foreign affairs Co Trach always said it was the capital he found himself."

“But inside the company, everyone is required to keep it a secret.”

Trieu Tue Lan shouted: Lam Man turned to the next page.

“This is Co Trach's signature slip.”

“There is his handwritten signature.”

“Aunt Trieu.”

“Auntie also signed one.”

“Because that money helped pay off the debt of the old Co family.”

Trieu Tue Lan's voice immediately choked. Co Trach's face was as white as paper. General Manh frowned.

"This only proves that Phuong Thanh Hoa has money."

"But it doesn't prove that Khuong Le is Phuong Thanh Hoa."

Mr. Luong stood up from the guest seats.

“Then let me prove it.”

He walked onto the stage. Take out an old photo. I'm sitting in an old office. The table is full of documents. Next to it was a piece of paper with three words written on it: Phuong Thanh Hoa. Co Trach stared at the photo. It was like someone had just punched me in the face. I finally picked up the microphone.

“Phuong Thanh Hoa.”

“It's my mother's name.”

The whole hall immediately fell silent.
