Chapter 15 — Tieu Tam's Son Stole My Daughter's Work, I Revoked The Right To Operate The Group

Pho Thua Nghien Said I Was Not Qualified to Convene the Board of Directors Pho Thua Nghien's face completely turned cold. He no longer cares about how many cameras are facing him at the scene. Nor will he continue to maintain the image of an elegant and calm CEO.

“Shen Duong.”

“Have you forgotten?”

“The current legal representative of Tinh Hoa is me.”

“The person in charge of daily operations is me.”

“The person signing the foreign contract is also me.”

He gradually moved closer. There was suppressed anger in his voice.

“I have been away from the company's frontline for five years.”

“In the annual report, you are just an iconic founder.”

“How many projects?”

“How many employees?”

“How many partners?”

"It's not like just saying 'revoke my management rights' can put it back in your hands."

The senior leaders who were on his side finally regained some courage. The deputy general in charge of operations spoke first.

“General Shen.”

“What happened today really needs to be investigated.”

“But isn't convening the Board of Directors unusually harsh?”

“The company cannot because of a dispute related to children's works affect its entire operations.”

Another leader also added in a low voice:

“After all.”

“This is just a matter of naming the author of a children's work.”

“Compared to the company's full year revenue.”

“The processing priority is really not high.”

I looked at him.

“In Tinh Hoa.”

“Even a child's name can be erased.”

“So what qualifications do you have to say you are educating children?”

The CFO also spoke up:

“Budget projects need to be internally audited.”

“It is not appropriate to draw conclusions at the scene.”

The person in charge of communications is even more impatient:

“The most important thing right now is to control public opinion.”

“Rather than expanding internal conflicts.”

I heard each person finish their sentence. Suddenly I saw clearly the changes inside Tinh Hoa over the past five years. Pho Thua Nghien is not alone in becoming bloated with power. That bulge... Is supported by a collective inertia. Just need to be able to push things down. Then first press it down. As long as the company's exterior is still beautiful. Then don't search to see who was sacrificed. As long as the CEO says it, that's the big picture. Then no one will care how a child's name is erased. Wait for everyone to finish talking. I just opened my mouth.

“Are you finished talking yet?”

No one spoke up anymore.

"The first."

“This is not a dispute over children's works.”

“It's that the registration documents were illegally edited using the behind-the-scenes powers of the marketing department.”

“This is not a normal budget project.”

“It's about company resources being used to build the image of a specific minor, while having an extremely high level of contact with the CEO.”

“This is not a matter of public opinion.”

“It's that Tinh Hoa's internal management is out of control.”

“Compliance boundaries are broken.”

“Risks related to core technology licensing rights have been triggered.”

I looked at the CFO.

“You said you need an internal audit?”

“The Audit Committee will take over.”

Then I looked at the Deputy General Operations Officer.

“You said the company cannot stop operating?”

“So it's even more impossible to have a press conference Fraud continues to spread outside in the name of Tinh Hoa."

I looked straight at Pho Thua Nghien.

“Are you saying I have no qualifications?”

I took out a neatly folded document from my bag. It's not something I prepared temporarily. It's a document I kept from five years ago. Date of signing the authorization agreement for daily management and operations of the company. That year I had just given birth to Tinh Mien. The baby was born prematurely. Very weak health. For a year I had to go back and forth between the hospital and the rehabilitation center. Pho Thua Nghien once held my hand and said:

“Duong Duong.”

“Just leave the company to me.”

"I'll stay with my child well."

“Tinh Hoa belongs to the two of us.”

“It won't change.”

I believed. I turned over the day-to-day management to him. But I have never given Tinh Hoa's roots out. I gave the documents to Phuong Viet. He connected to the big screen. The moment the title appeared. Pho Thua Nghien's pupils immediately shrank. Agreement to Reserve Core AI Licensing Rights and Special Voting Rights of the Founder of Tinh Hoa Education Group I heard someone below quietly read out loud. Phuong Viet opens up to the most important terms. Core AI module licensor: Shen Tang. Type of license: Conditional continuous license. Conditions triggering the suspension right: • Serious compliance risk. • Risk of false propaganda. • Risk of violating the rights of minors. • Use the creator's content for commercial purposes without permission. Special voting issues: • Core AI module. • Children's data safety. • Creators' rights. • Serious brand risk. In the above cases, the licensor has the right to veto one vote and the right to convene the Board of Directors on an extraordinary basis. Pho Thua Nghien's face was finally so unsightly that it couldn't be any more unsightly. I looked at him.

“You always knew this agreement existed.”

“It's just that I think…”

“I will never use it.”

He coldly replied:

“That agreement was five years ago.”

“Over the past five years, Tinh Hoa has raised capital, restructured and expanded its business.”

“A lot of the provisions have long since become irrelevant.”

Phuong Viet calmly added:

“During last year's Series C funding round.”

“The Deputy General has signed an addendum confirming that the core licensing authority continues to be in effect.”

“The signature page is here.”

He turned to another page. Pho Thua Nghien's own signature appears clearly on the screen. No one stands up to help him anymore. To Man stood at the edge of the stage. His face was gray. Maybe she finally realized. The person I provoke... Is not a married wife who only knows how to cry in marriage. But he is the one who laid the foundation for the whole Tinh Hoa. Pho Thua Nghien stared at his own signature. A long time later. Suddenly burst out laughing.

“So from the beginning you kept the retreat for yourself.”

"That's right."

I looked straight into his eyes.

“Because five years ago…”

“I believe you.”

“But I have to be even more responsible to Tinh Hoa.”

I don't deny it.

“Because the biggest lesson of being a tech founder…”

“It is absolutely forbidden to give core control to someone who sees a child's self-esteem as just a matter small."

His eyes became dark.

“I didn't say that before.”

“Because I never thought you would become like this.”

That statement is very light. But it still made Pho Thua Nghien's expression blank for a moment. Just for a moment. Very soon after that. He returned to the familiar Pho Thua Nghien city. People can always convert every emotion into benefits.

“Even if I could summon the Board of Directors, so what?”

“Do you think the Board members will freeze the CEO's powers because of a children's author name?”

“Shen Duong.”

“What the Board of Directors cares about is the company's interests.”

“That's even better.”

I turned the phone screen towards him.

“What I submit to the Board of Directors...”

“It's not the self-pity of a child.”

On the screen is a complete list of documents. • Timeline of the original work files. • Log of unauthorized edits to registration records. • Two-factor authentication information for marketing department accounts. • Approval notes in the press conference script. • Budget structure of “AI Youth Incubation Plan”. • Photo of public reaction after the livestream incident. • Announcement of temporary suspension of core AI licensing. • Risk reporting from cooperation partners. None of the entries were tears. None of the items are emotional. Each item... is a management risk that the Board of Directors cannot ignore. In the end, Pho Thua Nghien did not say another word. I took the phone back. Turn to Phuong Viet.

“After the meeting starts.”

“First submit all documents and evidence.”

“Then submit a temporary handling plan.”

Phuong Viet nodded.

“Option one.”

“Temporarily suspend the powers of the entire marketing department team involved in the incident.”

“Option two.”

“Freeze Deputy Thua Nghien's temporary approval authority for press conferences, marketing budgets and core product lines.”

“Option three.”

“Launch of special audit.”

“Option four.”

“Restore the true copyright of the work Tinh Nha and publish a correction notice.”

I add:

“Option five.”

“The authority to decide on the conditions for reinstating the core AI license will be temporarily taken over by me.”

Phuong Viet immediately recorded it. Pho Thua Nghien looked at me. The voice was hoarse.

“Do you have to force me to this extent?”

“I'm not forcing you.”

I looked straight into his eyes.

“From the moment you erased my daughter's name from her own work…”

“So you have come to this point on your own.”

Right at that moment. The meeting invitation tone rang. On the big screen. The representative photo of the Secretary of the Board of Directors appears.

“General Shen.”

“The members of the Board of Directors have fully attended the meeting.”

I raised my head. Looking towards Pho Thua Nghien. Then calmly say:

“Now…”

“Let the Board of Directors decide.”

"In the end, whose overall situation is Tinh Hoa?"
