Chapter 6 — Women Don't Need To Be Chosen

At 3 p.m., I met Zhu Hai at the lobby bar of a five-star hotel. The space was bright and there were many people passing by, enough to keep everything under control. Zhu Hai arrived with two people, a secretary and a driver, but they both stood far away and did not approach. He himself was older than I thought, over sixty, with gray hair, wearing a black Zhongshan shirt, and a gentle smile that was so fake.

“General Su, young and talented.” He sat down, ordered a pot of Long Tinh, his eyes searching, "I've always been curious about what kind of person Miss S is, I didn't expect she was so young."

“Mr. Zhou is so complimentary.”

"It's not a compliment, it's a sincere respect. You can carry more than 40,000,000,000 yuan alone, not everyone can do it."

“It's a whole team working together.”

He laughed twice, then withdrew his smile and his eyes immediately turned sharp.

"President Su, I'll be honest, I invested 80,000,000 yuan in the East project from the beginning. If you freeze it like this, my money will also be stuck."

“So I want to ask, your matter with the Luc family is a private matter, as for my 80,000,000 yuan, can you settle it first?”

“President Chu, your 80,000,000 yuan went through Luc Thi's account, it is not directly related to Tinh Than Capital, the capital flow I froze is between me and Luc Thi, you should find them.”

Chu Hai picked up the teacup and blew gently. His voice was still slow but showed pressure.

"Mr. Su, you're smart, don't beat around the bush. Luc's entire system is frozen right now. I'll go find them. What will they pay me for? After all, the key is still in your hand."

“What does Mr. Zhou mean?”

“Where you tie the knot, there you open it.” He looked at me, his eyes narrowed, his gaze no longer gentle, "I won't interfere with how you want to deal with the Luc family, but don't let the fish in my pond die too."

“What if it's already affected?”

He put down the teacup, his smile disappeared completely, his aura immediately changed to a cold and oppressive one.

"General Su, I've been doing business in this city for twenty years, there are things I don't want to say too directly."

“Mr. Chu is threatening me?”

“No, it's a reminder.”

“Then I will also remind Mr. Chu a word.” I took a sip of tea, my voice light but sharp, "The northern land you just took, the original environmental report I have in hand, compared to the one you submitted, there is a bit of a difference."

His hand stopped in mid-air.

“Think carefully before talking to me.”

I put down my cup of tea, stood up, and moved decisively.

"That's it for today, Mr. Zhou can continue having tea."

Leaving the hotel, I got into the car, my palms were sweaty, but my mind was extremely alert. The phone rang, Tham Mac called.

“He is more difficult than I thought, but the northern land is his weakness, at least for now, he does not dare to touch me.”

“Where did you get that data from?”

"It started three years ago. From the moment I married into the Luc family, I sent someone to check all the related partners. Zhuhai is the biggest bomb."

The other side was silent for two seconds.

“To Niem, how prepared were you during those three years?”

“But Zhuhai won't stop.”

“I know, so I need your help with something.”

“The right to develop the land next to the eastern project of Dinh Huy is about to expire, right?”

“Your news is really fast, yes, March next year.”

“If Dinh Huy has a new development plan in that area, Zhu Hai's project will no longer be the only option, his bargaining value will decrease.”

“You want me to blow up blind?"

"It's not blind, it's true, the medical AI project you mentioned needs a deployment point, building a medical technology park in the East, the potential is even greater than the commercial area."

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

“I will let the team evaluate, but To Niem…”

“You owe me a meal.”

I laughed. Tien Ngoc Hoa's clan meeting finally took place, but the result was completely different from her expectations. This news was discreetly passed to me by Mr. Luc's secretary, every detail is clear. At the meeting, Tien Ngoc Hoa proposed to issue more shares, bringing in new investors to replace Tinh Than Capital. Luc Canh Tham voted against. Tien Ngoc Hoa slammed the table on the spot.

“Are you crazy? Do you know what that woman is doing? She wants to swallow Luc Thi!”

“Mom, To Niem is not that kind of person.”

"Not? It freezes all of our capital flows, isn't that right?

“It was her mother who forced her to sign the divorce papers first.”

The whole room was silent. Tien Ngoc Hoa pointed straight at her son's face.

“Now you're on his side? Are you from the Luc family or from the To Niem family?

"I'm from the Luc family, that's why I can't turn my back on Tinh Than Capital right now. Do you know how much we depend on that capital flow, 70%, you forced her to the end and then wanted to find a replacement. How many parties do you think in this market dare to take over this debt?"

Tien Ngoc Hoa was speechless and her face turned pale.
