Chapter 5 — Tieu Tam's Son Stole My Daughter's Work, I Revoked The Right To Operate The Group
I opened the notes app. Start writing down every sentence and every word she said. To Man saw it. The corners of his lips immediately tightened. She understands. I'm saving all the evidence. Right at that moment. Mrs. Pho was helped onto the stage by someone else. As soon as I got there, he pointed straight at me.
"What else did you record?"
"Are you still planning to sue the family members?"
I looked at her.
"If someone in my family steals my daughter's work."
"Using company resources to package other people's achievements."
"Of course we have to sue."
Mrs. Pho was so angry that her hands shook.
"Thua Nghien has helped Tinh Hoa develop so strongly over the years."
"Without merit, there is hardship."
"She stayed at home to take care of the children and enjoyed many years of happiness."
"Now the company is having some trouble."
"If you don't help, that's fine."
"Still publicly disrupting the group?"
"Are you worthy of the Pho family?"
I looked at her for a long time. Over the years. I rarely argue with the Pho family. Not out of fear. But because I used to think that marriage requires compromise. Children need to grow up in a peaceful environment. The company can still operate well even if I don't show up. I was wrong. I thought giving in was a matter of dignity. But in their eyes... That's just a license to continue to be at the top.
"Am I worthy of anyone or not?"
"It's not the Pho family's turn to decide."
I looked down at Tinh Hoa's leadership area. A deputy general in charge of operations stood up. He has been following Pho Thua Nghien for four years now. Also the person who often speaks in public on his behalf.
"General Shen."
He called out. But it sounds very reluctant.
"I know you're one of the founders of the company."
"But there are so many partners present today."
"Or let the press conference end first."
"Then the company will definitely give you and the baby a satisfactory explanation."
"Who explains?"
He stopped.
"Of course Deputy General Director and company."
I laughed.
"The person who edited the author's name is the company."
"The person giving the award is the company."
"Press conference resources are provided by the company."
"Media releases are also issuers."
"Now you told me to wait for the company's explanation?"
His face immediately became ugly.
"Anyway..."
"You also shouldn't make a big deal out of it on stage."
I looked at him.
"So who is causing the current influence?"
No one answered. The entire hall fell into silence. The countdown timer left: Pho Thua Nghien also lost all patience. He stepped closer to me. Extremely low voice.
"Shen Duong."
"What do you want to do anyway?"
"Do you really think I would bow in front of everyone?"
"Currently Tinh Hoa is under my management."
"It's not something I want to stop."
He spoke very quietly. But unfortunately... The recording microphone next to me is still open. The chatter in the stands suddenly disappeared. Everyone heard it. I looked at him.
"Are you sure?"
A flash of regret flashed in Pho Thua Nghien's eyes. But still try to keep your mouth shut.
"I withdrew five years ago."
"Corporate structure."
"Business system."
"Collaboration channel."
"It's all in my hands."
"The core technology has long been commercialized."
"It's not like you can threaten me with a few old agreements."
To Man immediately responded. It's like I've been waiting for this exact sentence for a long time.
"Miss Shen."
"Older brother Pho has been very patient with your emotions."
"Why do you have to force things to the end?"
"Even if Tinh Mien really has the same idea."
"It's also impossible to prove that Canh Chu intentionally took her work."
"It's very normal for children to have similar ideas."
I lowered my head to look at Tinh Mien.
"Same?"
Tinh Mien raised her small tear-filled face. My eyelashes still had clear tears. But she shook her head vigorously. It's like I'm afraid that if I'm just one second late... The gift I gave my mother will completely turn into someone else's.
"Absolutely not the same."
Tinh Mien said softly. Her voice is very small. But the hall was silent, every word rang out clearly.
"Its name was given by me."
"The little light bulbs inside were chosen by me."
"The eight o'clock reminder function is also a setting."
"Its first sentence..."
"It's me recording for mom."
I gently squeezed my child's hand. The countdown timer only has thirty seconds left. Mrs. Pho still refused to give up. She pointed straight at me.
"Shen Duong!"
"If you dare to ruin this press conference today..."
"The Pho family will never recognize you as a daughter-in-law again!"
The deputy general in charge of operations also immediately spoke up.
"General Shen."
"Please calm down."
"Don't let family conflicts affect business value."
To Man's eyes turned red. The voice was full of injustice.
"Canh Chu is just a child."
"Please don't force her."
Pho Thua Nghien looked at me. His eyes were completely cold.
"Get off the stage now."
"I can pretend nothing ever happened."
I didn't reply. Just quietly record it all. Every face. Every look. Each of their choices. The last ten seconds. I looked at Pho Thua Nghien.
"You still have your last chance."
He looked at me like I was a complete stranger. The voice was cold to the bone. The numbers on the phone screen jump continuously. The moment the clock reaches zero. I picked up the phone. Click to call Phuong Viet. The bell only rang once. The other end of the wire immediately connected.
"General Shen."
I looked at the Tinh Nha robot on stage. Look at the author's name that has been changed. Look at Pho Canh Chu holding the trophy in his arms. Looking at To Man with red eyes from acting. Look at Pho Thua Nghien - the person from beginning to end who always puts the so-called big picture of the company above his daughter's self-esteem. Then I slowly spoke. Every word. No hesitation.
"Stop it now."
"Full licensing rights of Tinh Hoa Education Group's core AI modules."
The other end of the line was silent for a second. Then came a decisive answer.
"Confirmed."
"Proceed immediately."
Almost at the same time. The large screen behind the stage suddenly flashed. Tinh Hoa's entire AI demonstration interface simultaneously turned gray. Bright red warning text appeared in the middle of the screen: 【Core module authentication permission has been revoked】 【Service is currently unavailable】 【Please contact the copyright owner】 The entire hall was silent. The smile on To Man's face stiffened. The trophy in Pho Canh Chu's hand almost fell to the ground. The deputy general manager turned pale. Mrs. Pho had not yet reacted. Only Pho Thua Nghien. His face instantly turned white. Because in the end... He also remember something. The true founder of Tinh Hoa AI system. From then until now. It was never him.
