Chapter 15 — The Former General's Ex-Wife Was a Genius Advisor

Updated 10/08/2026 3 min read

His wife of three years, always secretly plotting to help him behind the scenes. But he didn't know it. Will he be grateful? Or angry? I don't know, and don't want to guess. Third, if To Mien Nguyet knew... Then it would be interesting. She is best at building an image of "independent and self-reliant". But what if everyone in the market knows that the most key decisions of the Co Group come from an anonymous advisor named W, and that person is Co Ngon Chu's ex-wife? To Mien Nguyet's statement "I have never relied on anyone" will turn into a farce. Because the person who really doesn't rely on anyone is Lam Van Tinh whom she despises the most. I started the engine and drove out of the tunnel. The phone rang. Co Ngon Chu. I hesitated a bit then answered the phone. “What?”

"Van Tinh, Trieu Due told you something today."

My heart skipped a beat.

“He said W might be working at Dinh Huy.”

“So what?”

“But I don't think it's feasible.” Co Ngon Chu's voice sounded normal, without any doubt. "W's analytical level is too high. With Dinh Huy's current staff, it is very difficult for anyone to reach that level."

I was silent for a second. “Why does he think W is at Dinh Huy?”

“He read the appraisal report on To Mien Nguyet's studio that you wrote.”

“…”

“He said the modeling style in that report was exactly like W.”

I took a deep breath and calmly replied: "It's just a coincidence, the way to write the DCF model is very similar." He said "yes" once. “I told him the same thing.” The other end of the line was silent for two seconds.

“Are you… well?”

“Still healthy.”

“That's good.”

He hung up the phone. I pulled over to the side of the road and closed my eyes. The palms of his hands were covered with beads of sweat. It's so shocking. This barrier is considered to have passed through safely. But what about next time? I picked up my phone and sent a response email to Trieu Due. Just four words: [You're looking for the wrong person.] * For the next month, I put all my energy into work. Three projects are underway at the same time. The medical equipment project had its first results —— My investment proposal was approved by the Investment Council. The first amount of money was 50 million yuan for a startup specializing in minimally invasive surgical equipment. In the second month after being funded, that company won a centralized procurement order from a frontline hospital. Qi Vien Minh sent a message in the department chat group: [Congratulations to Lam Van Tinh, her first project since taking office has hit the mark.] Followed by a series of "congratulations", "admiration", and "learning" from colleagues. I sent back a smiley emoji. But in my heart I understand clearly that this is not luck. That company's core technical team, I've been following since I was at Berkeley. The founder is an alumnus of the same school. I have read two articles published in his leading scientific journal three times. There are things that, on the surface, appear to be intuition, but are actually accumulation. At the end of the month, the company holds an industry forum. Dinh Huy, as one of the organizers, I was assigned to give a 15-minute presentation with the topic: "Logic and Pitfalls of Pricing in the New Consumption Race". Qi Yuanming carefully checked the slide twice: “I definitely want to talk about the topic This?"

“Sure.”

"If you talk about this content in depth, it's like calling out To Mien Nguyet in public."

“I will not mention any specific company by name.”

“But everyone in the world will think of it themselves.”

“Association is their business.”

Te Vien Minh looked at me for a moment then nodded: "Okay, then go up." The day the forum took place, nearly 300 people attended. Investors, startups, media. I wore a smoky gray suit and tied my hair in a low ponytail.
