Chapter 4 — Your Own Face

She stood up.

"It's true I posted."

I opened the second set of documents. That is a report on the achievements of the new brand line in the last three years.

"From a loss of twenty million yuan..."

"...by last year it had a profit of eighty million yuan."

"The person in charge throughout is me."

"Join the company for three months."

"Number of projects completed by myself..."

"...is zero."

Many people laughed. Khuong Van Van's face turned red.

"I'm new to the company, of course it takes time."

I asked calmly.

"Because it takes time..."

"...so you steal other people's achievements?"

"It's the company's decision!"

"What about you saying I rely on men?"

I looked straight into her eyes.

"Then please tell everyone."

"Who is that man?"

Khuong Van Van unconsciously looked at Tong Hoai An. His expression immediately darkened.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Khuong Van Van panicked.

"Everyone knows that Thanh Lam Investment Fund withdrew capital because of you!"

I raised my eyebrows.

"And then what?"

"Then you rely on relationships!"

At that moment... A low male voice rang out from the door.

"Having a relationship..."

"...also a type of ability."

Everyone turned their heads simultaneously. Pho Nghien Tu slowly walked in. Following him is Te Vien. Tong Hoai An immediately stood up straight. Director Vuong's face also changed. Khuong Van Van frowned.

"Who are you?"

Pho Nghien Tu did not look at her at all. He walked straight next to me.

"You're late."

I lowered my voice.

"Who told you to come?"

"I didn't say."

His eyes scanned the entire hall.

"But some people talk about your wife too harshly."

The whole hall immediately exploded.

"Is that Director Khuong's husband?"

"Didn't everyone say before that her husband was just an ordinary investment advisor?"

Khuong Van Van burst out laughing.

"Brother-in-law, you came at the right time."

"Aren't you just an investment advisor?"

"Do you even dare to speak up at Van Hoa's plenary meeting?"

Qi Vien took a step forward.

"Miss Khuong."

"Please pay attention to how you address yourself."

Khuong Van Van rolled her eyes.

"Who are you again?"

Qi Yuan took out a business card and handed it out. As soon as Tong Hoai An received it, his hand trembled after just one look. Director Vuong stopped by to see. His face also immediately turned pale. But Khuong Van Van still smirked.

"Color what?"

"Who can a business card scare?"

Pho Nghien Tu looked at her. His voice was strangely calm.

"Decision to withdraw investment from Thanh Lam Investment Fund..."

"...signed by me."

The smile on Khuong Van Van's face stiffened. I looked at Pho Nghien Tu. He turned to me, his voice very quiet.

"I didn't mean to talk to you this way."

The whole hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing became clear. He continued.

"You are..."

"...founder of Thanh Lam Investment Fund."

The words just ended. No one in the entire meeting room dared to move. Tong Hoai An stood frozen in place, his lips white. Director Vuong was the first to recover. He hurriedly walked down the stage.

"General Director Deputy, we didn't know Director Khuong was your wife before. If there was anything we didn't welcome properly..."

Pho Nghien Tu did not reach out to shake his hand.

"You don't need to welcome me."

He looked towards me.

"Today..."

"The main character is her."

I clasped the microphone in my hand. Khuong Van Van is still sitting there front row seats. Her whole body seemed to be drained of strength. She shook her head continuously.

"No way..."

Qi Yuan gave a file of documents to Song Huai'an.

"This is the publicly registered information of Thanh Lam Investment Fund."

"The Deputy General Director only rarely appears in front of the media."

"It doesn't mean he doesn't exist."

Tong Hoai An turned two pages and sweat was pouring down his forehead. I looked at Pho Nghien Tu.

"Yesterday you said..."

"...today I will know."

"Is this something you've been hiding from me for eight years?"

He replied softly.

"It's not just this."

The whispers in the hall arose again. I put down the microphone.

"Pho Nghien Tu."

"Stop talking."

He stopped. I turned to look at all the staff below.

"Today is Van Hoa's plenary meeting."

"It's not the place to resolve my husband and I's personal matters."

I looked straight at Khuong Van Van.

"Just now you said I rely on men."

"My husband is standing right here now."

"Say it again."

She bit her lip.

"I... I speak the truth."

I calmly asked:

"What is the truth?"

Khuong Van Van immediately turned to Tong Hoai An.

"Mr. Hoai An, please say it!"

"Didn't Thanh Lam Investment Fund withdraw capital because of her?"

Tong Hoai An avoided her eyes. Khuong Van Van impatiently stood up.

"You're all afraid of him, right?"

Pho Nghien Tu finally spoke up.

"I withdraw capital..."

"...because Van Hoa doesn't know how to respect core personnel."
