Chapter 6 — Tong Van Chieu

12After going through all sorts of difficulties, I was finally discharged from the hospital and returned home. Tong Van Chieu wanted to take me home, but I firmly refused. Until the smell of alcohol on you disappears, I won't let you near me. The contract with boss Phuong was also canceled. But Tong Van Chieu said he was willing to cooperate with us. I don't want to have too many money problems with Tong Van Chieu, because I already owe him too much. In the end, we reached an agreement that I would repay everything I owed him in full, both principal and interest. This is not to erase everything, but so that I can stand next to you. As a like-minded companion, as an equal competitor, not simply because we love each other. I think, only when there is such a relationship, can love truly last. With the support of Tong Van Chieu, our studio quickly became famous in the industry. Thanks to the high degree of freedom and perfectly compatible graphics and sound in the game, the number of downloads quickly skyrocketed. The first step was finally successful. Next, we gradually expanded the studio, established a game company, and put all our enthusiasm into developing a game with a high degree of freedom. When the game was released, it received a very good response. To celebrate our success, we held a party and invited some famous businessmen in the industry. Tong Kieu arbitrarily invited Tong Van Chieu's mother to come, wanting her to "taste the bitter taste" and regain my honor after the incident of the old glass of wine. It wasn't until she appeared at the party that I found out. 13 Tong Van Chieu stood next to me, looking at his mother. "Van Van, I'll go over and say hello to my mother, you don't need to come over." After all, that's his mother, even if she doesn't like me, I can't stop him from meeting her. She just doesn't like me, but that doesn't mean she's not a good person. After all, she raised an excellent child like Tong Van Chieu. She was just used to a wealthy life, where everything was considered from a beneficial perspective. I walked around holding a glass of water, and accidentally met Phuong Nhien's father. He smiled and walked up to me, holding up the glass of wine: "Director Co, long time no see. I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you in the future. I know you can't drink alcohol, so I'll take this glass first." In the past, I often held a glass of water, trying to avoid people for fear of being ridiculed for not being able to drink alcohol. It's different now, now I can comfortably hold a glass of water without worrying about anything. At this time, Tong Van Chieu had just finished talking to his mother when a group of people pulled him away to discuss the matter. Tong Kieu took my shoulder and led me to Tong Van Chieu's mother. She no longer looked arrogant like last time, but nodded at me with appreciation: "It's true that you've improved a lot, but I still don't like you." Tong Kieu glared at her and said: "Your behavior now is no different from the old man in the past. Do you know why I invited you here?" Tong Kieu mentioned "old man" and was talking about her father. Tong Van Chieu's mother smiled: "I know, let me see how outstanding Tran Van is now. That year, your boyfriend was just one step away, just one step away from achieving your father's request." I heard Tong Van Chieu say that after Tong Kieu ran away with her boyfriend, she used the family's money to help him start a business. Because Tong Kieu's father once said that as long as he achieved success in his career, he would agree to let the two get married. But right when their company was gradually getting on track, Tong Kieu's father cut off the financial source and blocked the way to buy raw materials, leading to the company's bankruptcy.

product. That guy also had to bear a huge debt. Under heavy pressure, he couldn't bear it and jumped from the company's rooftop. Tong Van Chieu's mother patted Tong Kieu's shoulder: "It's a pity that your father and I are not the same. I have no interest in getting involved in her company. She is a girl, starting a business is not easy, I tried to play her game, it's quite good. In the country, we need more businesswomen like that. I admire her very much, whether she is a partner or a competitor, she is a very excellent person. But I still don't want her to be my daughter-in-law. mine, this is not a contradiction.” Tong Kieu looked at Tong Van Chieu's mother in surprise, and finally smiled: "It's okay, you can't stop them." I also couldn't help but be surprised by Tong Van Chieu's mother's words. I thought she was just a woman in the upper class, always putting the family's interests first, but it turns out she is also someone who respects and appreciates others. I raised my glass of water and clinked it with her: "Thank you for your compliments. To be able to stand before you as an equal like this, it took me many years." She smiled: "I hope you will continue to try, in the future so I can call you Director Co." Tong Van Chieu noticed us talking together, thinking that something had happened again, and quickly walked forward and pulled me behind. Tong Van Chieu's mother saw his actions and glared at him: "Don't bring her home in the future. But what you two do outside has nothing to do with me." After saying that, she turned away. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and added: "If you have grandchildren, bring them home for me to see. But if you don't have them, it's okay, children. If you have them, you won't necessarily be able to take care of your old age, sometimes it just gives you a headache." Tong Van Chieu stood stunned for a long time, then turned to ask me: "What do you mean, she agreed to let us be together?" Maybe that's it, she just doesn't acknowledge me as her daughter-in-law, she said. nor say I can't be with you. I nodded in confirmation, then Tong Van Chieu happily rubbed my cheek. He secretly brought the household registration book home from home a long time ago. I think his family probably knew but just turned a blind eye. But I still haven't agreed to register the marriage. Because once registered, our interests will be completely aligned. I wanted to try and see if I could succeed on my own. Now all the efforts have finally paid off. Halfway through the celebration party, Tong Van Chieu pulled me to the rooftop. The wind on the rooftop made his hair messy. He asked me again: "Tran Van, do you agree to marry me?" This time, I nodded. He hugged me, and his laughter rang in my ears. "I'm finally married to the person I've liked since I was 20 years old." Ten years, Tong Van Chieu spent ten years saying that he loved me. The sincere and intense love of youth, no matter how many years have passed, still does not fade. (Story ends)
