Chapter 27 — The Former General's Ex-Wife Was a Genius Advisor

I thought for a while and then texted Tran Niem: [Help me monitor To Mien Nguyet's movements in the next two days. Including Weibo, circle of friends, people to meet.] Tran Niem texted back "Understood". Then added another sentence: [Your current situation, to be honest —— is a bit scary.] [What's scary?] [Calm to the point of being scary.] * On the day of the Shareholders' Meeting, I wore a tight black suit. Hair tied in a high bun, makeup very light. When I entered the 18th floor of Co Thi Headquarters, in my hand I held the Power of Attorney from Dinh Huy Capital. After checking my identity, the staff led me into the meeting room. In the large dome-shaped meeting room there were about 40 people. Institutional shareholders, individual shareholders, independent directors, legal advisors. Co Ngon Chu sat in the center position on the chairman's podium. The moment he saw me walk in, the pen in his hand stopped in mid-air. I found a seat in the representative area. Don't look at him. The meeting began, first with the usual financial reports and business announcements. After that, Co Minh Vien stood up. A middle-aged man in his 50s, straight suit, and imposing aura.

“Dear shareholders, today I would like to make an unusual proposal —— Vote of confidence for current General Director Co Ngon Chu.”

The whole meeting room started to stir. Co Minh Vien turned on the projector. First slide —— Capital chain diagram of Star Bridge Holdings.

"Please see, Co Ngon Chu took advantage of the company's construction materials purchasing platform to transfer benefits to related parties, the amount of money involved was 8 million yuan. Although the money was refunded, the nature was extremely bad."

Second page —— Photo of W.

"In addition, over the past 5 years, Co Ngon Chu has hired an unknown outside consultant to participate in the Group's core strategic planning process. This character with the code name 'W' has no contract, no background check, and no approval from the Board of Directors. We don't even know who this person's true identity is."

He looked around the room.

"Ladies and gentlemen, a person whose identity has not been made public has participated in the most core investment decisions of our Co for 5 years. This is not brain outsourcing, this is an extremely serious commercial information security breach."

The whispering below grew louder. A few small shareholders started to talk. Co Ngon Chu's expression was still very calm, but I saw his hand clenching the pen in front of him. Co Minh Vien's attack became more and more fierce.

"I propose: First, conduct a vote of confidence in Co Ngon Chu. Second, request that W's true identity be made public and launch an independent investigation. Third ——"

“There is no need for further investigation.”

A voice interrupted him. It's mine. Everyone turned their heads to look. I stood up.

“Dear shareholders, I am the Shareholder Representative of Dinh Huy Capital, Lam Van Tinh.”

“At the same time ——” I took a look at Co Ngon Chu.

His hand stopped in mid-air, the pen hovered there, his eyes were so complicated that I couldn't use words to describe.

“I am W.”

The meeting room suddenly fell silent. The smile on Co Minh Vien's face froze harden.

“What did you say?”

"I said, the external consultant specializing in providing anonymous strategic reports for the Co Group in the past 5 years - W, is me. Lam Van Tinh. Daughter of Lam Khai Minh - founder of Dinh Huy Capital, graduated with a Bachelor's degree from the Department of Finance at Berkeley University with a full scholarship, ranked 3rd in the entire department during her time at the school."

I pulled out a file from my bag.
