Chapter 10 — The Former General's Ex-Wife Was a Genius Advisor

The afternoon the report was presented, my father did not call me up to talk. But the next day, To Mien Nguyet arrived at Dinh Huy. Furthermore—— she didn't come alone. The person standing next to her is very familiar to me. Co Ngon Chu. When Co Ngon Chu and To Mien Nguyet entered the hall of Dinh Huy, I had just stepped out of the elevator. The three people encountered each other right at the reception desk. To Mien Nguyet saw me first, her face showing surprise: "Van Tinh? Why are you here?" She called her very naturally, the word "Miss Lam" has now changed to "Van Tinh". Co Ngon Chu's eyes glanced at my face, stopping for less than a second. “Do you work here?”

“Yes, just started working.”

He did not comment, nor did he ask further questions. To Mien Nguyet smiled, the atmosphere suddenly became soft: "Then we can meet often in the future." I did not respond. Qi Vien Minh strode from the beginning of the hallway: "Mr. Co, Miss To, please come inside." As he passed me, he gave me a look signaling "you should go away first". I returned to my seat and continued to handle other unfinished projects. But the gossip of colleagues around kept buzzing like mosquitoes:

"Co Ngon Chu came in person, didn't he say he was divorced?"

“The ex-husband brought his new girlfriend to the ex-wife's company to discuss business matters, it's so embarrassing.”

"But just now To Mien Nguyet called her 'Van Tinh', what is this relationship like..."

I put on my headphones and turned the music up to the loudest level. Forty minutes later, Qi Yuanming's door opened. When To Mien Nguyet stepped out, her face was very unsightly, her lips pursed tightly. Co Ngon Chu followed behind, showing no emotion on his face. When passing by me, To Mien Nguyet suddenly stopped.

“Van Tinh, was that analysis report written by you?”

The surroundings were silent. I took off my headphones.

“Yes.”

“Do you think my studio is not worth the investment?”

I looked her straight in the eye: “The data doesn't support that.” To Mien Nguyet controlled her facial expressions very well, but there was still a stiffness at the corner of her mouth that was difficult to detect.

"I understand. But there are things that cannot be seen by looking at the data, such as the development potential of the studio, the creativity of our team..."

“Investment doesn't look at potential, investment looks at authenticity,” I replied. “In your financial data, there are at least three unusual amounts of money whose origin cannot be clearly explained. Once these problems are resolved, the data will automatically speak up.”

No one in the entire office dared to cough. To Mien Nguyet's eye sockets turned slightly red. She uses this technique very skillfully.

“I know you may have opinions on me, but I hope you can handle things without treating people…”

“I have no idea,” I interrupted. “Every conclusion in the report comes from data, you can compare each item individually.”

To Mien Nguyet stood there, unable to say another word. Co Ngon Chu stepped up from behind her.

“Van Tinh.” His voice is very low. “Can we talk for a moment?”

"It's working hours, it's inconvenient."

He paused for a second. “So what happens after work?”

“There's nothing to say.”

His lips twitched, in the end he didn't say anything more, turned around and led To Mien Nguyet away. As I walked to the elevator door, I heard To Mien Nguyet try to lower her voice and say one sentence: "Ngon Chu, did she do it on purpose?" Are not?" The elevator door closed, I couldn't hear Co Ngon Chu's answer. Tran Niem texted me a series of exclamation points on WeChat. [Oh my god, did you just face off against To Mien Nguyet at Dinh Huy?? My colleague just forwarded a screenshot message, saying Dinh Huy had a big drama today!!] I replied: [No confrontation. Just works normally.]
