Chapter 16 — Three-Year Savings Book and Fraudulent Marriage

He smiled bitterly.

“I don't believe it.”

“Believe it or not is your business.”

I picked up my bag.

“Goodbye, Chu Thuy.”

“Don't contact me anymore.”

Date of completion of divorce proceedings. I moved out of Chu Thuy's house. Furniture is not much. Two suitcases are enough. To Man drove to pick me up.

“Where are we going?”

“Go back to my apartment.”

I have a small apartment in the south of the city. The area is about sixty square meters. Purchased two years ago. Chu Thuy never knew that house existed. Moved in last night. To Man brought a bottle of wine.

“Are you celebrating?”

“What to celebrate?”

“Congratulations on your escape from suffering.”

The two of us sat outside on the balcony. One drink per person.

“What are you going to do next?”

“Next month accepts the position of chief consultant of Minh Vien Group.”

“Annual salary 1,500,000 yuan.”

“The merger commission fee is 800,000 yuan.”

“Received at the end of the year.”

To Man whistled.

“Earn 2,300,000 yuan a year?”

“You hid it really well.”

“It's not a secret.”

I took a sip of wine.

“It's just that no one has ever asked.”

To Man looked at me for a few seconds. Then raise your glass.

“Dear you.”

“Also respect all the women who have been looked down upon.”

The two glasses gently touched each other. The next morning. I opened my phone. Saw Chu Thuy post a new article. There's only one sentence.

“There are people who, no matter how sincere you are with them, they don't know how to appreciate them.”

Below are some likes. Trieu Phuong commented:

“My son is suffering so much.”

Chu Man left behind a heartbreaking symbol. There is another strange account that I am not familiar with.

“I told you a long time ago, that girl is not the good type.”

I finished reading. In his story. He is the victim. In the stories of many people. The one who leaves is always at fault. But it's okay. My life doesn't need to be defined by someone else's circle of friends. I turned off the phone. Open Minh Vien's merger plan. A project worth 200 million yuan. More than a hundred pages of appraisal reports were waiting for me to check every line. That is my battlefield. Three days later. An unexpected call came.

“Excuse me, is this Ms. Lam Tri Y?”

“I'm Truong, credit manager of Dong Chinh Bank.”

"Hello."

“It's like this.”

“We are handling the claim of Thuy Hang Company's guarantee obligations.”

"The assets under Mr. Chu Thuy's name are currently not enough to pay the entire guarantee."

“He gave you your phone number and said you were his wife…”

“Chu Thuy and I are divorced.”

“That guarantee was signed before the marriage.”

“It has nothing to do with me.”

I read the verbatim clause on division of debt responsibilities in the divorce agreement to him. The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds.

"Alright."

“I understand the situation.”

“Sorry for bothering you.”

After hanging up. I sent a message to Tran Kien Minh.

“Chu Thuy gave my phone number to the bank.”

“Want to push the responsibility of guarantee to me.”

Tran Kien Minh replied immediately. Just one word. Right after that. He sent another message.

“The divorce agreement is clearly signed.”

“He can't do anything.”

I put down the phone. Chu Thuy. Until now. You still want to calculate on me. You can't get anything anymore. One month after divorce. I officially joined Minh Vien Group. Holds the position of Chief Advisor of the Financial Consulting Department main. First day on the job. Director Luu introduced me at a senior management meeting.

“This is the Chief Advisor of the newly established Financial Consulting Department.”

“Lam Tri Y.”

“CPA is certified to practice.”

“Have an investment fund certificate and a securities analysis certificate.”

“In the past three years, the total value of the projects she has been responsible for has exceeded 300 million yuan.”

There were more than twenty people in the meeting room. Someone asked:

“Where did advisor Lam work before?”

“Chinh Hoa Auditing Company.”

“Chinh Hoa?”

“Isn't that company only a dozen people?”

“But she alone generates nearly forty percent of the company's revenue.”

Everyone looked at each other. His eyes changed. I stood in front of the projection screen. Don't say unnecessary words.

“Everyone can find out my personal information for themselves.”

“Now allow me ten minutes.”

“Introducing the department's first project.”

“Framework for merger between Minh Vien Group and Dinh Tin Group.”

The screen lights up. The first page appears. Project value: 200,000,000 yuan.
