Chapter 9 — The Day You Pulled Your Lover On Stage, I Recovered All My Investment

I looked at her.

“Then post it now.”

Lam Man stiffened in place.

“Right now?”

“Didn't you say you were willing to suffer losses?”

Lam Man looked at Co Trach. Co Trach was silent. The eyes of the surrounding people began to change. At that moment, Co Man walked in from outside. As soon as she heard that sentence, she burst out laughing.

“Miss Lam, please post it.”

“I also want to see how well you can think about the big picture.”

Trieu Tue Lan immediately shouted:

“Co Man, stop meddling.”

Co Man crossed his arms across his chest.

"Yesterday I helped my aunt clean up a pile of broken jade bracelets, and my hand was cut and bleeding."

“Do you not even have the right to speak today?”

Trieu Tue Lan's face was sometimes blue, sometimes white. Co Trach did not want to continue being surrounded by others. He lowered his voice:

“Let's go upstairs and talk.”

I stood still.

“Just say it here.”

“Khuong Le, do you have to let everyone see the joke?”

“Last night you let me be cursed in front of all the company employees.”

“You were also very generous at that time.”

Co Trach gritted his teeth.

“I postponed that payment for three months.”

“I give you 5% of Minh Chau's shares.”

Lam Man's face immediately changed. Trieu Tue Lan also shouted:

“Are you crazy?”

“Does it deserve company shares?”

Co Trach shouted in a low voice:

“Shut up.”

“Not much.”

“I will consider it.”

“If you take Lam Man's co-founder position in exchange.”

Lam Man's face was completely pale. Co Trach stared at me.

“You're insulting her.”

“When she sits in my place.”

“Did you ever think you were insulting me?”

Co Man immediately continued:

“This is fair.”

Trieu Tue Lan angrily rushed forward and tried to hit Co Man. But was stopped by security. Co Trach closed his eyes for a moment.

“Khuong Le.”

“Change the conditions.”

"Unchanged."

Lam Man suddenly let go of her hand holding Co Trach.

“If my position can be exchanged for peace for Minh Chau…”

“I can back out.”

Co Trach looked at her. There was both trepidation and hesitation in his eyes. She's betting. Bet on that tender moment. I spoke up:

“Words of mouth are not effective.”

“Post the official announcement tomorrow.”

“Cancel the title of co-founder.”

“Cancel the title of future boss.”

This time Lam Man's tears were finally no longer pretended.

“Khuong Le...”

“Do you have to force me to this extent?”

I looked at her.

“When you stand on stage.”

“You never thought about me standing down there?”

Lam Man couldn't say another word. Finally, Co Trach spoke up.

"I agree."

Trieu Tue Lan screamed: Co Trach looked at me.

“Are you satisfied now?”

I took out my phone. Look at the time. His expression darkened. I calmly said:

“Because it's already late.”

Co Trach rushed towards me. But was held back by security. At that moment, a new news message appeared on my phone. The largest investor from the first phase of Minh Chau officially withdrew all capital. Ask the company to repay on time. Seeing that news, Co Trach's whole body seemed to have lost all support. I put my phone in my pocket.

“Co Trach.”

“Tomorrow at six o'clock.”

“Don't be late.”

Minh Chau's large meeting room was filled with people. Reporter. People who have contributed capital since the early days. Relatives of the Co family. Even some bosses got Co Trach Please come quickly. He intentionally made it big. Want to use the crowd to force me. When I arrived, Lam Man was sitting next to him. There was no longer the weak look on his face like yesterday. She changed into a dark suit. Wrists are empty. The bracelet that was broken the other day has disappeared. Trieu Tue Lan sat in the back row. His eyes looked at me like he was looking at an enemy. Co Man also came. As soon as she saw me, she immediately leaned closer and whispered:

“Be careful.”

“Last night Co Trach was looking for someone.”

“Want to prove that money is not yours.”

I looked at her.

“Why remind me?”

Co Man touched the band-aid in her bag.

“I told you something yesterday.”

“As a result, my aunt scolded me all night.”

“I'm a very vindictive person.”

The meeting begins. Co Trach stood up.

“Everyone is invited here today.”

“It's to clarify one thing.”

“Minh Chau's first money actually came from a secret backer.”

"Khuong Le held documents in her hand, deliberately implying that the money was related to her."

“To put pressure on the company.”

He signaled Chu Du to turn on the projector. An old contract appeared on the screen. In the signature position is a name: Phuong Thanh Hoa. The meeting room began to make noises.

“Who is Phuong Thanh Hoa?”

“Never heard of it.”

Co Trach looked at me.

“Khuong Le.”

“I'll tell everyone.”

“Your name is Phuong Thanh Hoa?”

I didn't speak up. Lam Man immediately continued:

“Miss Khuong.”

“You are just the ex-wife of the late President.”

"You can't take credit for someone else's work just because you know a few old stories."

Mrs. Tuong sat in the front row. The facial expression is very unsightly.

“That year, the person who contacted us actually used the name Phuong Thanh Hoa.”

Co Trach immediately said:

“So this matter has nothing to do with Khuong Le.”

Mrs. Tuong looked at me. Say no more. Co Trach took out the second document.

“I have contacted the lawyer representing Ms. Phuong Thanh Hoa.”

"The other side clearly confirmed that Khuong Le does not have the right to represent her in withdrawing capital."

Right then. A man wearing glasses entered through the main door. The suit is flat. Carrying a briefcase of documents in hand. The first confident smile in many days finally appeared on Co Trach's face.

“Lawyer Hua.”

Lawyer Hua stepped forward. Gently nodded to everyone.

“Hello everyone.”

“I am authorized by Ms. Phuong Thanh Hoa to handle issues related to Minh Chau.”

Lam Man looked at me. In his eyes, there was finally a feeling of gloating after taking revenge. Co Trach said:

"Lawyer, please explain clearly, does Khuong Le have the right to touch that money or not?"

Lawyer Hua opened the briefcase.

"Do not have."
