Chapter 4 — Tieu Tam's Son Stole My Daughter's Work, I Revoked The Right To Operate The Group

I opened the phone book. Send a message.

"Preparing to temporarily suspend all licensing rights of Tinh Hoa Education's core AI modules."

"Wait for further instructions."

Recipient: Phuong Viet. Almost immediately. A reply message appears.

"After the pause, the entire new product demonstration system and back-end data training portal will be shut down."

"General, confirm implementation now?"

I replied:

"When the countdown ends."

Finished sending the message. I put my phone away. Pho Thua Nghien saw all my movements. His face immediately became unsightly.

"Who did you just contact?"

I looked at him. The corners of the lips curl up slightly.

"This person..."

"I'm familiar with it."

"Phuong Viet."

Pho Thua Nghien's pupils slightly shrank. Phuong Viet is the person in charge of early technology at Tinh Hoa. The same person who sat with me that year in an office of less than thirty square meters, staying up night after night to write the first version of an AI system for educating children. Five years ago, I retreated behind the scenes. Hand over daily management authority to Deputy Thua Nghien. But the right to license core modules. Background authentication service. Along with some of the most important patents. From start to finish... Still directly managed by me and Phuong Viet. Pho Thua Nghien is not unaware. It's just that in recent years, he's gotten too used to my silence. So familiar that I think... Silence means giving up.

"Shen Duong."

He gritted his teeth and called my name.

"Don't make fun of the company."

I looked at him. Calmly answer:

"I also want to know."

"When you made fun of my daughter..."

"Have you ever thought about the company?"

Below the stands. Finally, someone couldn't sit still. Mrs. Pho was helped to stand up by the person next to her. The old face was full of anger.

"Shen Duong!"

"You are still the daughter-in-law of the Pho family."

"There are so many outsiders here today."

"Do you have to do bad things in the house and spread them outside?"

I turned my head to look at her.

"Bad things in the house?"

Mrs. Pho frowned.

"It's just the work of a child."

"Is it necessary to make it so big?"

"Canh Chu is also a child."

"Don't speak so harshly."

"What if your daughter suffers a bit of resentment?"

"Go back and tell Thua Nghien to comfort him a few words."

"Today's press conference is a big deal for the company."

"I can't let you do whatever you want."

Tinh Mien's small hand in my palm trembled slightly. That moment. A cold stream slowly rose from his chest. In the eyes of these people. Tinh Mien's self-pity only needed a few words of coaxing. If the author's name is stolen, you can give in a little. Being scolded as a liar in front of people can only be forced down. Only the company's appearance is real. Only the face of the Pho family is real. As for the child standing next to me... It never seemed important. On the opposite side. To Man's eyes flashed with relief. Perhaps she thought that once the elders of the Pho family spoke up. I more or less have to respect him. She took half a step closer. Use a volume just loud enough for the two of us to hear.

"Miss Shen."

"You're not really planning on destroying Tinh Hoa for a toy, are you?"

I looked down at the electric screen phone. The countdown timer is still running. Each bright red number continued to decrease. Three minutes and nineteen seconds. Three minutes and eighteen seconds. Three minutes and seventeen seconds... I slowly raised my head. Look straight into her eyes. The corners of the lips curl up slightly. There was no intention to laugh.

"You better pray."

She stopped.

"Pray for what?"

I looked at the robot standing under the spotlight. Look at the trophy in Pho Canh Chu's hand. Looking at the faces that still think I'm overdoing things. Then word by word:

"Hope..."

"It's really just a toy."

Because if it isn't. So what you just took away... It's not just the work of a child. It is the key that opens the entire future of Tinh Hoa. In the Last Five Minutes, They Compete with Each Other to Dig a Hole to Bury Themselves The countdown clock has three minutes left. The whole stage area began to be chaotic. The MC continuously covered his headphones to receive instructions from backstage. The program director is broadcasting again and again requests to stabilize the situation. The receptionist was holding a spare trophy standing next to her. Can't advance. Going back is not enough. Below the stands. All media cameras are still operating. Not a single lens turned off. With Deputy Thua Nghien. This is a serious communication incident. With To Man. This is public opinion material that can be collaged and utilized. As for me... This is the proof. I pulled Tinh Mien to stand next to me. Stay away from the brightest light. Then prop the phone up on the edge of the display table. The lens points straight towards the entire stage. Pho Thua Nghien saw that action. His face completely turned cold.

"Shen Duong."

"Turn off your phone."

I asked again.

"This is the company's internal operations."

I tilted my chin towards the livestream screen.

"The broadcast is still open."

"Tinh Hoa's official account is still live streaming the scene of my daughter being scolded for being a liar."

"Now you tell me to turn off the phone?"

He choked on his words. For a few seconds, I didn't know how to respond. To Man immediately seized the opportunity. She turned to the media area. The voice was choked with emotion.

"Today is a day for children to express their creativity."

"I really didn't expect things to turn out like this."

"Canh Chu has loved robots since childhood."

"To complete Tinh Nha, the boy put in a lot of effort."

"I believe any mother can understand."

"I can't let my son be called a thief for no reason."

Under the stands. Someone nodded. Some people also began to look at Tinh Mien with complicated eyes. Tinh Mien unconsciously hid behind me. I squatted down. Hide those gazes.

"No need to be afraid."

I said softly.

"You just need to remember one thing."

"Something made by me..."

"It won't become theirs just because someone else speaks louder."

The baby's red eyes shook slightly. Then nodded vigorously. Meanwhile. To Man continues to perform.

"If Miss Tham has any misunderstanding with me..."

"Just aim at me."

"But the children are innocent."

"Canh Chu is here today because he is truly gifted."

"Tinh Hoa always encourages children to dare to think and do things."

"You can't destroy a child's self-confidence because of an adult's resentment."
