Chapter 8 — Three Years of Patience, in exchange for the entire Co Thi Group

Co Hoai staggered back half a step. I almost couldn't stand. He looked at me. It was like watching a demon come out of hell.

“Tam Niem... I..."

I didn't even bother looking at him. Just keep holding the microphone. The voice echoed clearly throughout every corner of the hall.

“I came here today.”

“Just to declare three things.”

"The first."

“All the core materials of the new product that Co Thi is preparing to launch today…”

I smiled slightly. His eyes slowly glanced over On Nha's pale face.

“All provided by Nha Van Trading.”

“But Nha Van Trading...”

“Again, the company is under the control of our Tham Thi Group.”

I intentionally emphasize four words:

“The company belongs to our group.”

On Nha's face immediately turned pale. All the blood on his face seemed to be drained away. Her legs were limp. Fall down on the stage. Eyes wide open looking at me. Filled with disbelief. I never looked at her again. Just keep holding the microphone. The voice was calm but loud enough for the entire hall to hear clearly.

“After a strict inspection process by the quality control department of Tham Thi Group...”

"We discovered that the batch of raw materials in charge of Ms. On Nha had serious technical defects and an extremely high safety risk."

“If put into mass production.”

“The consequences for consumers will be immeasurable.”

Just finished speaking. The giant LED screen on the back instantly changes the image. Each inspection report appears clearly. Each video segment analyzing the internal structure of the material is shown continuously. The figures are accurate. Visual images. The evidence is irrefutable. Everything is clear as day. The evidence is as solid as a mountain. The whole hall immediately exploded. If it was before, it would be surprising. Now it has completely turned into anger.

“Oh my god!”

“Is Co Thi planning to use this to market?”

“This is consumer fraud!”

“It's not business anymore!”

“This is harming people!”

“Too unconscionable!”

Criticism rang out everywhere. On Nha completely collapsed. She sat on the ground. Trembling, he pointed his finger at me. The voice was sharp and shrill.

“You were the one who harmed me!”

“You gave me those materials!”

I lowered my eyes to look at her. His eyes were cold as if looking at a stranger.

“We are all adults.”

“As an adult, you must take responsibility for your choices.”

“That contract was signed by you.”

“The seal was made by you.”

“You get the money.”

“Do you want to wash away your responsibility now?”

I curled my lips slightly.

"It's late."

On Nha immediately stiffened. Couldn't utter any more words. I just slowly turned my head. Looking towards Co Hoai. The man who used to be my husband. This moment. His face was as gray as ashes. Eyes full of despair. I smiled. Continue saying the last thing.

“Pursuant to the terms of the supply contract between Nha Van Thuong Thuong and Co Thi Group.”

“Because the supplier provided the product with serious quality defects.”

“Leading to the failure of the entire cooperation project.”

“Co Thi Group has the right to request Nha Van Thuong to compensate for breach of contract.”

I stopped for a beat. Then look straight at it Co Hoai.

“This compensation…”

“Not too much, not too little.”

“Just as good as...”

I leisurely emphasized each word.

“Twice the current market capitalization of Co Thi Group.”

It was like an atomic bomb exploded in Co Hoai's head. Twice the market capitalization. That means. Even if all assets are sold. Co Thi was also not able to bear the burden. Co Hoai's eyes turned dark. He staggered back a few steps. His back hit the backdrop behind the stage. Almost fell down. From beginning to end, I just looked at him coldly.

“I prepared this surprise gift.”

“Do you like it?”

I smiled slightly. That smile made Co Hoai's face turn even whiter.

“The life-saving straw that I cherished all this time…”

“It was I who put my hand in yours.”

“It was also my hand that pushed you into the abyss.”

The moment that sentence fell. Below the stage. The phone of the Public Relations Director of Co Thi Group suddenly rang. He had just been on the phone for a few seconds. His face immediately lost all color. Hands tremble. The phone almost fell to the ground. The deputy general next to him quickly asked:

“What's going on?”

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His voice trembled so much that it was almost speechless.

“It's done…”

“Co Thi is really done…”

“The stock price has just experienced a vertical decline...”

“The floor price has been reached.”

He raised his head. Desperate eyes looked towards the stage.

“And just officially activated the emergency transaction shutdown mechanism…”

The whole hall. Immediately fell into dead silence.
