Chapter 6 — Welcome Back Chu Niem

“Do I have to do everything so completely?” "Sell the house? Where do you all live?" His messages ranged from questioning to pleading to criticizing. I didn't answer a word, just looked coldly. Realizing I wasn't paying attention, he changed tactics again. He started playing the friendship card. "Giai Ky hasn't eaten all day today, and is still crying, saying he misses you." "My mother also fell ill. Her high blood pressure came back and she couldn't get up in bed." "Nien Niem, consider me begging you, can you go home? Let's have a nice talk as a family." He turned himself into a good son, a good brother who was at a loss, about to collapse. And I am the culprit who caused it all. It's ridiculous. Knowing that today exists, why did you do that before? I was expressionless and deleted all the messages. After that, I received a text message from Hua Giai Ky. “Sister-in-law, sorry.” “It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, my sister and brother wouldn't have argued.” "Go home, I'll go back to my hometown tomorrow and absolutely won't involve anyone else." Her message looked pitiful and full of guilt. But for some reason, I always feel like something isn't right. To Tinh stopped by to take a look. “Hmm, green tea.” She pouted contemptuously. “If she really feels sorry for you, she should advise her brother to give up his secondment and stay to take care of her.” “Not here pretending to be pitiful, telling you to go back and continue being a nanny.” To Tinh's words woke me up. That's right. The Hua family members were all cast from one mold. Forever only knows how to push responsibility to others. Always only know how to ask others to sacrifice. I answered Hua Giai Ky with two words. "No need." Then blocked her too. Having done everything, I felt the world was completely pure. I set my phone to silent mode and threw it aside. "Go to bed." I told To Tinh. “Tomorrow, there is still a difficult battle to fight.” The next morning, I woke up very early. Meticulously put on makeup and put on the battle robe To Tinh prepared for me. When standing under the "Mich Quang" company building, I felt full of strength. This place is my new starting point. The interview process went smoothly beyond expectations. The general designer is an intellectual woman in her thirties, named Lam Thanh. She very much agreed with my design idea. “Miss Chu, your design is very spiritual.” Lam Thanh looked at my work and praised it endlessly. “Not only does it have commercial value, but it also has her own attitude and thoughts.” “This is very rare among young designers today.” We talked for a long time, from design style to material selection, then to market positioning. The more you say it, the more appropriate it becomes. Finally, Lam Thanh closed my workbook and smiled at me. “Chu Niem, I personally admire you very much.” “I officially send you an invitation, welcome you to join our Mich Quang design team.” “The position of chief designer, are you willing to accept it?” I was stunned. Chief designer? I originally thought that being able to get a normal design position would be very satisfying. “Director Lam, I…” I couldn't believe it. “You don't need to doubt yourself.” Lam Thanh saw my concerns. “Your talent is worthy of this position.” “What we, Mich Quang, need most now is a designer with an original creative spirit like you.” “I hope you can lead us to create a national brand that truly belongs to us.” Her words lit a fire in my heart. Isn't creating my own national style brand the dream I've always had? Because of marriage, I put this dream on hold for five years. Now, the opportunity was placed before me. I have no reason to refuse. I stood up and reached out to Lam Thanh. “General Lam, thank you for your trust.” “I am willing to accept.” Our hands clasped each other tightly. Leaving "Mich Quang", I walked under the sunlight, feeling like my steps were flying. I immediately reported this good news to To Tinh. To Tinh shouted excitedly on the phone. "I knew it! My best friend is the best!" “We must celebrate tonight!

The location you choose, I pay!” I smiled and agreed. Returning to To Tinh's apartment, the first thing I did was arrange all the furniture in my reading room of less than five square meters. Piles of fabric piled high like mountains, unfinished designs, things that once carried my dreams, then I abandoned them. Now, they will see the sunlight again. I want to find a bright, spacious new home for my new office. Just when I was busy having fun, the phone rang. It's a strange number. I hesitated a bit, still answering the phone. “Hello, hello.” “Chu Niem! I finally answered the phone!” On the other end of the line came Hua Chi An's angry voice. I frowned, wanting to hang up. “Don't hang up!” It seemed he guessed my thoughts and quickly shouted. “I tell you, don't try to sell that house!” “That's my house! On what basis can I sell?
