Chapter 28 — The Former General's Ex-Wife Was a Genius Advisor

“In here are all backup copies of analytical reports, email history, IP address retrieval history and third-party notarization of all transactions between me and the Co Thi Strategic Development Department via encrypted mailbox over the past 5 years.”

I put the file on the conference table. “You can compare each item one by one.” Then, I turned to look at Co Minh Vien.

"Uncle Co, the 'unknown identity' you spoke of - now it's clear. As for the 'information security risk' you mentioned - I would like to ask, what information security risk is there for an official practitioner of an investment fund that holds Co's shares, and was also a member of the Co family?

Co Minh Vien's face became extremely unsightly.

“Miss —— you are Co Ngon Chu's ex-wife, there is a relationship of interest between the two ——”

"Co Ngon Chu and I are divorced. Furthermore, the analysis I provided as W was during the marriage, or to be more precise, when I was still a member of the Co family. Each of my reports helps the company avoid direct economic losses, the specific amount of money has been accounted for in detail in the file."

I glanced at the entire hall.

"Over the past five years, the potential losses that W helped Co Thi avoid accumulated exceeded 400 million yuan (about 1,400 billion VND). You can turn to the 3rd and 7th pages of the report —— Warning of futures contract collapse in the third quarter of 2020 and Advice to suspend real estate investment projects in 2021."

In the corner, someone was flipping through documents. Very quickly, several shareholder representatives began to pass it around to read. The expression gradually changed from disbelief to shock. The basis for Co Minh Vien's deposition, right at the time I stood up, had collapsed by more than half. His face turned red: "Even if you are W, it cannot change the fact that Co Ngon Chu embezzled public funds!"

“I said I've already paid it back.” Co Ngon Chu finally spoke, his voice was very calm. "And I also fully presented it at the last extraordinary meeting of the Board of Directors. If Uncle Co is not satisfied, you can make a proposal again, but please do not bring unrelated matters into it."

Co Minh Vien was about to say something. An independent director sitting next to him suddenly raised his hand.

"I propose to cancel this motion for a vote of confidence. Reason: The central basis for the removal is that 'Unidentified external advisors pose a risk to information security' has been clarified. Regarding the issue of embezzlement of public funds, in the last extraordinary meeting of the Board of Directors, there was already a resolution, there is no need for repeated discussion."

“Agree.” Another shareholder representative raised his hand.

“Agree.” One more person.

Co Minh Vien stood in front of the projector, his mouth opened and closed several times. In the end, I couldn't say a word. Voting results are available immediately: The motion for a vote of confidence was rejected. 27 votes against, 11 votes in favor, 3 abstentions. The meeting ended, I put away the files and prepared to leave. As soon as I reached the door, I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

“Lam Van Tinh.” It's Co Minh Vien.

He stopped in front of me, trying to keep his voice low: "Do you think that's all? You took a bullet for Co Ngon Chu this time, what about next time? His fontanels in my hand aren't the only ones that happened." I looked at him: "Uncle Co, I'm here today Not to help Co Ngon Chu. I came for myself.”

“You yourself?”

“W is your identity, you have the right to decide when to make it public. You used it as a weapon to depose him, which is taking advantage of me. I don't accept being taken advantage of by anyone."

His face was embarrassed. I walked past him. When they got to the elevator door, Co Ngon Chu caught up.

“Van Tinh.” He stood in front of me.
