Chapter 11 — Three Years of Patience, One Day of Flipping the Cards

He told Secretary Vuong. Secretary Vuong stood next to the desk. Instinctively tightened the edge of the file.

“Is it necessary to investigate who has been in contact with our partners recently?”

“Go investigate.”

Three days later. Results are sent. The person who is in contact with the Co family's partners is a company named: Cam Huy Investment Company. This is an extremely secretive company. There is almost no useful information to be found online. But within a week. They in turn contacted Co Group's six largest partners.

“Whose investment is Cam Huy?”

Co Canh Tham asked.

“Can't look it up.”

Secretary Vuong shook his head.

“Registration information is hidden through many layers.”

“The person behind the scenes is extremely hidden.”

He stopped for a moment.

“But there is something I think you should know.”

"Last week."

“A representative of Cam Huy Investment invited the investor of the southern citadel project to dinner.”

“I asked someone to find out the content of the meeting.”

“The other side said…”

“Cam Huy Investment wants to take over the entire project.”

“Moreover, the conditions they offer are much more attractive than ours.”

The pen in Co Canh Tham's hand immediately stopped.

“A company you've never heard of.”

“You dare to steal the project right in front of me?”

“Not just one project.”

Secretary Vuong continued.

“I still received news today.”

“The Hoa Thanh Center project also has the name Cam Huy Investment.”

“They submitted their bids.”

“And the initial round of eligibility review has been passed.”

Co Canh Tham stood up. Go to the ground-level glass door. The city's skyline stretches before your eyes. Among those steel and concrete buildings. There is a chess game secretly going on. Which he didn't see at all.

“Go investigate.”

“I want to know who is the person behind Cam Huy Investment.”

Secretary Vuong replied. Turn around and leave the office. But when I got to the door. His steps suddenly stopped. I don't understand why the image of that day appeared in my head. The day Tham Niem Khanh signed the divorce. While passing by him. There was no pain on that woman's face. There is no outrage. There wasn't any emotion of someone who just lost everything. Her steps are very steady. Very calm. Like... Someone who just finished all the preparations. Secretary Vuong shook his head. Quickly put that thought out of your head. A bankrupt millionaire left empty-handed. So what can be prepared? Two weeks later. Co Group's situation plummeted without stopping. Of the six largest suppliers. There are four statement units:

“Temporarily suspending cooperation.”

The second phase of the southern citadel project is continuously delayed. The investor refused to sign the final contract. New bidding packages of the company. Continuously robbed by a new name. Cam Huy Investment. In just half a month. Co Canh Tham became visibly thinner. Temperament is also getting worse. Three times the glass was broken in the office. Five times he lost his temper with his subordinates. The first time he got angry at To Uyen Ninh.

“Don't bother me.”

"I'm busy."

To Uyen Ninh stood outside the office door. The smile on his face immediately stiffened. Tien My Hoa called to ask about the situation. Co Canh Tham only replied with one sentence:

“Just a little trouble.”

“I can handle it.”

Then hung up. But reality. This has gone far beyond the scope of a bit of trouble. That afternoon. Co Canh Tham received a lawyer's letter. A direct subsidiary belongs to Cam Huy Investment. Co Group's Thanh Dong Commercial Center project has serious compliance issues. Cam Huy Investment as a related party. Request an independent auditor to investigate. After reading it. Co Canh Tham's face turned pale. No one knows better than him. The Thanh Dong project ultimately has many problems. Concealed construction loan. The deficits have never been made public. Cash flows were transferred illegally. It was all covered up for three years. But now. Someone aimed precisely at that wound. Then crashed straight down.

“Who is it anyway?”

He called frantically. Call your friends. Call your partner. Call news contacts. But they all give the same answer.

“Cam Huy investment is too secretive.”

“Can't find out who's behind it.”

Right when Co Canh Tham was scratching his head. A completely unexpected person came to the door. His cousin brother. Co Canh Minh. Co Canh Minh was twelve years older than him. Formerly deputy general manager of Co Group. Later, because of disagreements with the old man, they separated. In recent years, business has been normal. Also don't go back and forth much with the main house.

“Canh Tham.”

Co Canh Minh sat on the sofa. Cross your legs. The corners of the lips carry a smile.

“I heard your uncle hasn't been doing well lately?”

Co Canh Tham's eyes turned cold.

“Are you here to see my jokes?”

“Not here to watch a joke.”

Co Canh Minh took a sip of tea.

“I came to remind you a word.”

“This Cam Huy Investment Company...”

“I met their people before at an industry exchange.”

Co Canh Tham immediately raised his head.

“Have you ever met?”

“What does that person look like?”

“What's the name?”

“On the business card there is only a very ordinary name.”

“I don't remember anymore.”
