Chapter 18 — When I Was Forced to Quit My Job at the Age of 40, I Became the President of a Hundred Billion Company

I didn't reply. Because I don't care what he says. Twenty minutes later. People from the economic investigation agency arrived. When being taken away, Tien Duc Minh walked past me and stopped for a second.

"You will be abandoned sooner or later."

"That's my problem."

I calmly replied. The door closed. In the meeting room, there were only Zhou Kien Quoc and I left. He sat on the chair. Looks like she's aged ten years in just one day.

"Hoa Thuy owes you."

"No debt."

I picked up the briefcase.

"Every penny I receive is earned by me."

"I won't thank you."

"But I don't blame you either."

"The Tien family's shares..."

Chu Kien Quoc spoke up.

"How to handle it is your business."

"I don't interfere."

I turned around and walked out the door. Chu Kien Quoc called after him. I stopped walking.

"Funds for the national project will be disbursed next month."

"If you need anything, just find me."

I didn't turn back. The Tien family's story quickly spread throughout the business world. Tu Bac was officially arrested on charges of violating business secrets. Thuy Trach Biology dissolves. Tien Dat Pham was dismissed from all positions by Hoa Thuy, and it is said that he is still coordinating the investigation. As for Tien Duc Minh's case, it is much more serious. The amount of money involved is too large. The Procuracy has officially stepped in. Three different outcomes. But all of that... No longer concerns me. I went back to the lab. Continue to carry out the final stability confirmation of third generation Thanh Le. Tieu Tran looked at me and asked:

"Sister To, don't you want to rest for a few days?"

I looked at the computer screen.

"Next month the FDA will also request additional documents."

"The company is in complete chaos now."

"Chairman Chu is busy dealing with the consequences."

"And you..."

"Other people's troubles are other people's problems."

I looked at the data curve on the screen.

"My job is to make the product good."

Tieu Tran did not say more. Obediently return to doing the experiment. Afternoon. My phone rings. It's Academician Tran.

"Tieu To, congratulations."

"I heard that the matter in Hoa Thuy has been resolved?"

"It's done."

"That's good."

"Funding for national key projects has been approved."

"Disbursement will be made next month."

"When do you plan to start?"

"I've already started building the research team."

"Planning to send three core personnel from Hoa Thuy."

"At the same time, recruiting two more postdoctoral fellows."

"If you need any help, just let me know."

"Yes, thank you, Academician Tran."

"No need to be polite."

His voice slowed down.

"There's something I want to ask you."

"Her ability in the industry is recognized by everyone."

"But have you ever thought about starting your own business?"

I stopped.

"Do it yourself?"

"What do you mean..."

"She has the core patent."

"There is a national project."

"Have your own team."

"If you start your own company."

"Reaching a valuation of ten billion yuan in five years is not difficult."

I was silent.

"Of course."

"That's just my suggestion."

"Currently your position in Hoa Thuy is very strong."

"Doing it yourself will be risky."

"You just keep thinking about it."

"Thank you, Academician Tran."

After hanging up. I leaned back in the chair. Think for a long time. Do it yourself. Those three words are like a seed. Silently taking root in my heart. But not now. I still there's still a lot of work to do. One month later. Additional dossiers of third generation Thanh Le were successfully submitted to the FDA. The approval process is back on a normal trajectory. National key project officially launched. The laboratory was expanded twice. Two new postdoctoral fellows have also accepted jobs. Everything in the research department gradually returned to its familiar pace. Tien Dat Pham's desk has been cleared. His "trusted henchmen" also left one by one. The attitude of everyone in the company towards me changed markedly. Not out of fear. But because they finally understood something. What is truly the most valuable thing about Hoa Thuy... Is the technology in my hands. Wednesday afternoon. I received a call.

"Dr. To, my name is Ha Van Xuyen."

I was silent for two seconds.

"I know you have a lot of misunderstandings with me right now."

"But there are some things I want to meet to explain."

"No need."

"Dr. To..."

I interrupted him.

"Tu Bo's story."

"The Story of Thuy Trach Biology."

"The story of Thien Hop purchasing technology."

"I know it all."

"What else do you want to explain?"

The other end of the line was silent for a long time. Finally speaking:

"If I said..."

"What if the acquisition of Thuy Trach Biology was not my decision?"

"So whose idea is that?"

"Our President's intention."

"I'm just the executor."

I stood up. Walk to the window.

"Would you please pass this one sentence back to your President?"

"All patents and technical documents of Hoa Thuy."

"Nothing leaked out."

"From Uncle downloaded forty-seven documents."

"Eleven of those documents were fake."

The other end of the line suddenly went silent. I continue:

"Real core specs."

"Never left my safe."

"What?"

Ha Van Xuyen's voice immediately changed.

"Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Database access rights are fixed."

"But downloadable content is subject to change."

"I built a version control mechanism a long time ago."

"The most important parameters are only saved offline."

"It was stolen from Uncle."

"Just the stripped down version."

"You guys spent eighty million yuan."

"In return, it's just a pile of paper."

A low laugh rang out on the other end of the line.

"Dr. To."

"Indeed, the name is not bad."

"Is there anything else?"

"I'm bothering you."

I hung up. Just turned around. Saw Tieu Tran standing at the office door.
