Chapter 17 — Three-Year Savings Book and Fraudulent Marriage

Meanwhile. Somewhere else in the city. Chu Thuy is sitting in an apartment whose assets have been partially sealed by the bank. Look at the notice of recourse to guarantee obligations. His face was pale. He used to think that. Lam Tri Y is just an ordinary accountant. A gentle, easy-to-persuade woman. Until I lost her. He just understood. The person he lost. Not 1,500,000 yuan dowry. But my own future. Clear texture. Solid figures. Tight logic. After I finished presenting. The meeting room was silent for three seconds. Then someone started clapping. After the meeting. The CFO proactively walked over to shake my hand.

“Advisor Lam.”

“To be honest, before the meeting I was a little skeptical.”

“Not anymore.”

“Thank you.”

Return to your office. A private office with ground-level windows. I sat down on the chair. Be quiet for a moment. A year ago. I still sit in the small office of Chinh Hoa Auditing Company. Opposite is a pile of messy financial reports. Half a year ago. I was still sitting in Chu Thuy's living room. Hearing Trieu Phuong scold me for being stingy. And now. I am sitting in a private office on the 35th floor of Minh Vien Group. Outside the glass door. It's the entire skyline of the city. The phone rings.

“Your mother told you to change jobs, right?”

“I joined a large corporation as a consultant.”

“How is the treatment?”

“Pretty good.”

“Annual salary 1,500,000 yuan.”

“There are also project bonuses.”

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds.

“How much?”

“1,500,000 yuan.”

There was silence for a few more seconds.

“So do you still need that 1,500,000 yuan dowry?”

I laughed.

“That's the money my parents gave me.”

“Whether you need it or not.”

“I will still take good care of it.”

“That's good.”

“Okay…”

His voice trembled slightly.

“Dad, don't cry.”

“No one is crying.”

“Dad is just happy.”

“My daughter is good.”

After hanging up. I bowed my head and looked at the nameplate on the table. Chief advisor. This name. Deserving of this position. Three o'clock in the afternoon. To Man sent me a message.

“Do you want to see this?”

“Latest news about Chu Thuy.”

“Nothing worth seeing.”

“You really don't want to watch?”

To Man sent a screenshot. Was a post on a local business forum.

'The legal entity of Thuy Hang Company, Trieu Phuong, was filed for investigation for contract fraud.'

I opened it to see. During the debt collection process. The supplier discovered that Trieu Phuong had issued false invoices and created fake transactions. They reported the case to the police. Trieu Phuong was filed for investigation. Chu Thuy as guarantor and related person. Also within the scope of investigation coordination. I finished reading. Then close the website. There is no feeling of gloating. Not happy either. Just a very calm thought. These are all karma sown by themselves. It has nothing to do with me anymore. Three months later. Minh Vien's merger deal was completed smoothly. From the appraisal stage. Come restructuring. Then hand over the property. That 200 million yuan project. I'm in charge of the whole thing. At the celebration party. Director Luu raised his glass.

“Dear advisor Lam.”

“Without her, this project would not have gone so smoothly.”

More than forty people in the hall raised their glasses together. I stood up. Hold a glass of wine in your hand.

“Thank you for the trust of Director Luu and everyone.”

After drinking. Trieu Minh Dat stepped forward.

“Next quarter there will be a merger and acquisition project abroad.”

“The value is about 500 million yuan.”

“Director Liu personally wants you to be the chief advisor.”

500 million yuan. I nodded slightly.

“I will see the plan first.”

That evening. Return to the apartment. I sat down to try some math. Four months joining Minh Vien. Basic salary plus project commission received 980,000 yuan. Plus 3,120,000 yuan in previous savings. And other commissions are transferred in turn. My personal account balance has exceeded 4,500,000 yuan. There is also a dowry of 1,500,000 yuan. Still in the three-year term savings book. Interest rates are still increasing day by day. Money is not omnipotent. But money gives me the right to choose. The day before. Trieu Phuong once said:

“I will make it impossible for you to live in this city.”

For now. The person being investigated for contract fraud is her. Thuy Hang Company has dissolved. People are about to no longer have a place in this city. It's Trieu Phuong again. As for Chu Thuy. Last month To Man told me. Thirty percent of his salary is being forcibly deducted to pay the bail debt. The Sagitar car was auctioned off a long time ago.
