Chapter 6 — The Day You Pulled Your Lover On Stage, I Recovered All My Investment

At that moment, the conference room door was pushed open. Chu Du walked in holding the tablet. The voice was full of tension.

“General Manager, the first-stage investor side has sent an official notice.”

"If enough capital is not added before five o'clock today, all of the company's major projects will have to stop."

Co Trach suddenly looked towards me. I calmly said:

“There are still four hours left.”

He stood up.

“What do you want anyway?”

I took out the copy of the divorce agreement I signed last night from my pocket and placed it on the table.

“Look at the last page yourself.”

Co Trach grabbed it. Flip straight to the last page. His face turned pale little by little. Lam Man leaned closer.

“Boss, what's going on?”

Co Trach did not answer. Chu Du saw that small line of text. The tablet in his hand almost fell to the ground. I stood up.

“Co Trach.”

“You said you couldn't misread this type of document.”

He tightened his grip on the paper. The voice seemed to be forced from between teeth.

“Are you planning on me?”

I looked straight into his eyes.

“You taught me.”

“Mature people must know how to see reality clearly.”

Co Trach did not get angry on the spot. He invited me into his private office and closed the door. Outside, everyone is watching. Lam Man intended to follow in. But he was stopped by Co Trach's "get out" sentence. There were only two of us left in the office. On the wall hangs a photo of Minh Chau's bell-ringing ceremony. In the photo, Co Trach has a towering aura. Lam Man stood next to him, smiling as if she held half the country in her hands. Co Trach threw the agreement on the table.

“Khuong Le.”

“When did you become like this?”

“Since last night.”

“Don't make fun of me.”

“So what do you want to hear?”

He walked around the desk. Standing right in front of me.

“This authorization letter is not valid.”

“Put it in the divorce agreement and let me sign it.”

“That's a lie.”

“You can sue me.”

He looked at me for a long time.

“You knew about that money a long time ago, right?”

“Which account?”

“The first capital invested in Minh Chau.”

I don't answer. Co Trach suddenly burst out laughing. Extremely unsightly smile.

"I got it."

“You secretly looked at my documents.”

“I knew that money couldn't be touched, so I deliberately used it to hold me back.”

“Whatever you think.”

My attitude completely angered him.

“Khuong Le!”

“Do you really think you can destroy me with just a piece of paper?”

“It's not me who ruined you.”

“So who is it?”

“It's you.”

Co Trach waved his hand and swept the cup on the table. The cup shattered on the carpet. The coffee spreads out into a dark patch.

“I gave you a chance.”

“Home for you.”

“Money for me.”

“Why don't you give up?”

I looked at the coffee stains on the carpet.

“Because you guys are too loud.”

Co Trach was stunned.

“When I stood on stage, the applause was too loud.”

“When your mother scolded me, the laughter of the relatives was too loud.”

“When Lam Man cried, everyone stood by her side.”

“It's also too noisy.”

I raised my head to look at him.

“I just want you guys to calm down a bit.”

Co Trach reached out and squeezed my wrist.

“Khuong Le.”

“Don't force me.”

Right at that moment. The doorbell rang. Chu Du's voice came from outside.

“General Lam said the partners have arrived.”

Co Trach let go of my hand. Adjust the cuffs. When Opening the door and stepping out, he returned to the calm appearance of a powerful general manager. Lam Man immediately walked over to greet him.

“Boss, they said they would only meet you.”

Co Trach lowered his voice.

“I'll go stabilize the media first.”

“I'll go with you.”

“Listen.”

Lam Man's face momentarily became unsightly, but she quickly nodded. I followed them into the large meeting room. There were already a few people sitting inside. Everyone's face is not beautiful. The leader is a middle-aged woman surnamed Chiang. She dressed simply, holding only an old leather bag in her hand. Co Trach walked over, smiled and held out his hand.

“Miss Tuong, it's been hard for you.”

Mrs. Tuong did not shake hands.

“When will I pay?”

Co Trach's hand paused in midair and then naturally retracted.

“Miss Tuong, don't be hasty.”

“Minh Chau has just listed, some procedures take time.”

Mrs. Chiang slammed a notice on the table.

“I don't understand the procedure.”

“I only know that when you received the money that year, you said you would repay it in three years.”

“It's been five years now.”

“A few days ago, he stood on stage and announced that his female secretary had accompanied him through the most difficult days.”

“So what are we?”

The smile on Co Trach's face could no longer be held. Lam Man immediately spoke up:

"Mrs. Jiang, Mr. Gu didn't mean that."

“Minh Chau will never forget those who helped us.”

Mrs. Tuong looked at her.

“Who are you?”

Lam Man choked.

“I am the co-founder of Minh Chau, Lam Man.”

Mrs. Tuong frowned.

“Never heard of it.”

“You are not among the first signers of Minh Chau.”

A soft laugh rang out in the meeting room. Lam Man's face turned red. Co Trach immediately said:

“She is now in charge of a lot of important work for the company.”

Mrs. Tuong opened the old leather bag and took out a stack of papers.

“Then tell her to take out the money.”

Lam Man immediately fell silent. Mrs. Tuong turned to look at me again.

“Miss Khuong is also here today.”

Co Trach immediately turned his head around.
