Chapter 14 — With only 9 Yuan left in my card, I decided to go abroad

Hang up the phone. I sat still in the chair for a long time. It's finally over. The date for completing the divorce procedure is a Thursday. Diep Tay sent me a message.

"Trieu Que Tran's two houses have been transferred this week."

“How is she?”

"I heard that the day she changed her name at the real estate transaction center, she cried a lot."

“There were a lot of people around watching.”

“What about Tham Trach Chu?”

“Moved out of your wedding house.”

“Currently renting a one-bedroom apartment near the company.”

"I heard there's nothing left in the house other than a bed and a table."

I don't ask anymore. Diep Tay sent another message:

“His mother doesn't live with him now either.”

"Since the story of the two houses was revealed, mother and son have almost no contact anymore."

“Trieu Que Tran has returned to her hometown.”

"I heard that he went everywhere crying and said that his daughter-in-law had hurt him miserably."

“Who else believes her?”

“At first, there were still a few people who didn't know what happened and scolded you.”

“Then your hometown cousin told me about the bank statement.”

“Now no one pays attention to her anymore.”

“I heard that her card playing friends knew she lost 264 thousand yuan…”

“Even the mahjong group kicked her out.”

I laughed faintly.

“Okay, let's not talk about her anymore.”

Diep Tay was silent for a moment.

“Are you really not sad at all?”

“Not sad.”

“So are you happy?”

“It's not exactly fun.”

“Just… I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.”

“Like what does it feel like?”

I thought a bit.

“It's like carrying a heavy backpack for three years, finally being able to put it down.”

“The mark on the shoulder is still there.”

“But it doesn't hurt anymore.”

Diep Tay sent me a hug emoji. The decision to appoint the position of Product Director for the Asia-Pacific region was officially issued one month after the divorce procedure was completed. Hua Lam personally signed for approval. The day Tran Sam gave me the document in the office, he said one sentence.

“You deserve this position.”

The project in Singapore also entered the final phase. Complete product line. Test data of the first production batch met standards. The official launch schedule is set for March next year. During the company's internal meeting, leaders of the Asia-Pacific region were present. Hua Lam sat in the chair position. Each branch reports in turn. It's my turn. I stood up, walked to the screen, and opened the plan file. Fifteen minutes of presentation ended. Hua Lam's assessment only has one sentence.

“The speed and quality of product line construction in Singapore has exceeded the average of all branches in the Asia-Pacific region.”

Then she looked at everyone in the meeting room.

“This project was carried out by Lam Van alone, leading four people.”

“I hope everyone remembers this performance well.”

After the meeting, a branch manager pulled me aside to chat for nearly half an hour. He said he was considering outsourcing the formula for a product line.

“Mr. Lam, do you have any suppliers you know?”

“I will help you connect.”

That evening, returning to the hotel, I received an email from teacher Phuong Minh Vien.

“Van Van, do you know how the judges evaluated the last award?”

“The chairman of the final board said one sentence:”

“‘The scariest thing about this industry is not the lack of talent, but the lack of talent Buried talent. Lam Van is an example that has been buried for too long.’”

I read that email three times. Then close your laptop and go out to the balcony to stand for a while. The night view of Singapore stretches out below. This is my seventh month in this place. Only one month left... It's the end of the working term. I sent Hua Lam a message.

“Miss Hua, after the project ends, I want to stay in Singapore.”

She answered almost immediately.

“The official offer will be sent within two weeks.”

“Welcome to stay.”

I stood on the balcony for a long time. Until the night wind gradually turns cold. That trip back home was to handle final property procedures.
