Chapter 15 — When I Was Forced to Quit My Job at the Age of 40, I Became the President of a Hundred Billion Company

Causing investors and underwriters to view me as an unstable factor. From then on, Zhou Kien Quoc was forced to change his stance. I called Attorney Trieu.

“If that article is actually published.”

“What can we do?”

“Initiating a lawsuit for infringement of honor.”

Lawyer Trieu replied.

“But the processing time is quite long.”

“Is there a faster way?”

“If it can be proven that the source of information was leaked from within the company.”

“You can hold accountable the person who leaked confidential information.”

I thought for a few seconds.

“Can next time Qian Dat Pham?”

“The chain of evidence remains to be seen.”

I smiled faintly.

“So for now, just let them post.”

The other end of the line was silent.

“Are you sure?”

“I have one move left.”

“You have to wait until they go first before you can use it.”

Three days later. The official article appeared. The title is even more sensational.

"Fighting after the hundred billion IPO deal: Female scientist confronts major shareholder family, who is the real owner of Hoa Thuy?"

On the surface, the article appears neutral. But every sentence and every word is an implicit guide. Implying that I used the patent to threaten the company. Implies that I'm stubborn. Do not obey management. Is an unstable factor in the IPO process. The comment section below is almost completely tilted to one side.

“This kind of person really holds the company hostage.”

“Some techniques wanted to manipulate the business.”

“Employees who behave like shareholders.”

Virtual account. So obvious. I forwarded the article to Chu Kien Quoc. No comments. Don't add any sentences. Two hours later. Secretary Vuong called.

“President Chu said he will handle this matter.”

“He hopes you won't say anything to the outside media.”

I agree.

“One more thing.”

“The president wants to ask.”

“When does the signing ceremony of your national key project take place?”

“Next Wednesday.”

“President Chu said he would personally go with you.”

I put down the phone. The corners of the lips curled slightly. Zhou Kien Quoc personally attended the signing ceremony. It's a signal. He is using actions to speak to the entire market. To Vy is the mainstay of Hoa Thuy. Not a destabilizing factor. At the same time, it is also sending another message to the Tien family. Do you want to use public opinion to force me to leave? That trick no longer works. Signing date of national key projects. The scale of the ceremony was larger than I imagined. The city Department of Science and Technology directly organized the event. The provincial television station sent two teams of reporters. Specialized media agencies also came to nearly a dozen units. When I sat on stage signing documents. On the left is Academician Tran. On the right is Director Truong of the Department of Science and Technology. Front row seats below. Chu Kien Quoc sat upright. Clap your hands and smile brightly. It looks like he is the one behind promoting this entire project. After the signing ends. Reporters immediately gathered around.

“Dr. To, what does this project mean to Hoa Thuy?”

I smiled.

“That proves that Hoa Thuy's research and development capabilities have been recognized at the national level.”

An extremely standard answer. Immediately someone asked again.

"Recently there have been rumors that you are having a conflict with the company's leadership. Do you want to respond?"

I looked at the person who had just asked the question. It was the reporter from the media site that posted the article. I turned on laugh.

“There is no conflict at all.”

“General Zhou was just sitting in the audience watching the entire ceremony.”

“If there really was a conflict, he wouldn't appear here.”

The other person was about to ask again. But staff from the Department of Science and Technology stepped forward to stop it. After the ceremony ended. Chu Kien Quoc stopped me in the hallway.

“Today was very good.”

“All very good.”

“Thank you President Chu for your support.”

He shook his head. The smile on his face gradually disappeared.

“It's not like I support you.”

“But I owe you.”

He was silent for a few seconds. Then continue:

“The story of Tien Dat Pham.”

“Next week the board will make the final decision.”

“You wait to hear from me.”

I nodded. Ask no more. But I understand very well. What do the words "final decision" mean? The Tien family still holds shares in the company. It is impossible to completely drive Tien Dat Pham out of Hoa Thuy. But separating him from the core management layer... Chu Kien Quoc can still do it. Just returned to the company. I received a new email. The sender is a completely unfamiliar address. 【Urgent: Regarding some information between Thien Hop Pharmaceutical and Hoa Thuy】 I opened the letter. Inside there are only two lines.

“Dr. To.”

“I advise you to look into Thien Hop Pharmaceutical's recent technology acquisition.”

“The acquisition target is a company called Thuy Trach Biology.”

“The origin of Thuy Trach's core technology... will probably make you very interested.”
