Chapter 7 — The Day You Pulled Your Lover On Stage, I Recovered All My Investment

“Do you two know each other?”

Mrs. Chiang glanced at him.

“That year she once poured tea for me.”

Co Trach clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

“Khuong Le.”

"Then help me advise Ms. Tuong."

"Pay."

The expression on his face immediately cracked. Mrs. Tuong nodded.

“Hear that?”

“Miss Khuong understands things better than you.”

Co Trach tried to suppress his anger.

“Khuong Le, do you have to side with outsiders?”

Mrs. Tuong placed the bag firmly on the table.

"Boss Gu, don't pretend to be anything."

“You and Ms. Khuong are divorced.”

“Stop dragging people into the water.”

That sentence was like a slap straight to Co Trach's face. Lam Man quickly spoke up:

“Mrs. Tuong, what you say is so harsh.”

“Mr. Co and Ms. Khuong parted ways peacefully.”

Mrs. Chiang stared at her.

“On stage robbing someone else's husband.”

“Under the stage, they said goodbye in peace.”

“You city people really know how to do things.”

Someone bowed his head and coughed. Lam Man stood there. The mask of face finally crumbled. Co Trach suddenly stood up.

“Miss Tuong, just come here today.”

Mrs. Tuong also stood up.

“Before six o'clock tomorrow afternoon.”

“If I don't see the money, we will go to your company together and demand an explanation.”

She went to the door. Then suddenly turned his head to look at me.

“Miss Khuong.”

“The tea is delicious.”

"If we have a chance later, we'll drink again."

Co Trach's eyes looked at me at that moment as if he had finally discovered a knife hidden under the table. I don't shy away. That knife was signed by him and given to me. Saturday. Minh Chau organized an internal congress. Co Trach called all the staff to the large hall for the reason of stabilizing their spirits. I originally didn't plan to come. But Chu Du personally came to pick him up. He stood in front of my house. In hand, hold an access card. The voice was much lower than before.

“Miss Khuong.”

“Mr. Co said you must be present.”

“Do I have an obligation to listen to his orders?”

Chu Du was silent for a moment.

“He said if you don't come…”

“He will make it public that you stole company documents.”

I change shoes.

“Then come and listen.”

The hall was full. On the big screen was Co Trach's photo. Next to it are four words:

“Overcoming difficulties together.”

Lam Man stood next to the stage, chatting in a low voice with a few reporters. Seeing me, a smug look flashed in her eyes. Co Trach stepped onto the stage. Take the microphone.

“Everyone.”

“There have been a lot of rumors outside lately.”

“Says the company has cash flow problems.”

“Says that partners from early stage are asking to withdraw capital.”

“I want to tell everyone that.”

“Minh Chau has not collapsed yet.”

“And it won't collapse either.”

Applause rang out sporadically. He continued:

“This crisis is not due to the company's business activities.”

"It's because someone deliberately took away important documents, provoked early-stage partners, and destroyed the trust that Minh Chau had just built."

People started looking in my direction. Co Trach's voice became even deeper.

“That person…”

“It's my ex-wife, Khuong Le.”

In a moment. All eyes were on me. Some people were surprised. Some people despise it. Someone took out their phone to film. Lam Man stepped onto the stage. Dull eyes rule.

"Originally, this is a private matter between the two of you, I shouldn't say it."

“But Minh Chau is everyone's heart and soul.”

“I cannot stand by and watch it be destroyed.”

Co Trach looked at her. His eyes were full of gentleness.

“You say it.”

Lam Man held up a file of documents.

"During the divorce, Ms. Khuong took advantage of the General Co's trust to induce him to sign a power of attorney."

“She also retained the company's original records and contacted many partners to exert pressure.”

“What she wants is not fair.”

“It's revenge.”

The whole hall immediately exploded.

“It's too much!”

“The late President gave her a house.”

“Do you still want to destroy the company?”

“What does a housewife know about the company? Surely there is someone behind the information.”

I stood in the last row. Didn't move at all. Co Trach looked at me.

“Khuong Le.”

Chu Du stood next to the path. The fist clenched and then let go. Obviously wanted to say something. But in the end, he just crumpled the access card in his hand. I walked onto the stage. Co Trach put the microphone in front of me.

“In front of everyone.”

“Hand over the documents.”

“Sorry Lam Man.”

“I may not prosecute.”

I looked down below. A young girl is whispering to the person next to her:

“She's really scary.”

"After divorce, I still want to drag everyone to bury me with me."

The man next to him immediately continued:

“Mr. Gu is just too merciful.”

I looked at Co Trach.

“What do you want me to apologize for?”

Lam Man quickly spoke first:

“You should not bring marital conflicts into the company.”

"Don't take everyone's rice bowl and force it on President Co."

I nodded.

“Is there anything else?”

She clearly didn't expect me to ask that. Co Trach frowned.

“Khuong Le, don't delay any more.”

I looked at Lam Man.

“You told me to keep the documents.”

“Which document?”

She raised the notepad in her hand.

“This is the document proving Minh Chau's initial capital source.”

“Have you seen it?”

"Of course."

“Who signed it?”
