Part 6
Party, harassment and protection.
Chi put aside her daydreams and excitement and focused 100% of her energy on preparing for the company’s 25th anniversary party. This was the first important task she had received, so she worked with the communications department day and night, hoping to achieve good results, just as Mr. Danh expected of her. The party took place
in the grand hall of a luxury hotel in the city. The party was organized in buffet style with the main dishes being seafood, accompanied by white wine and champagne. The guests were also quite diverse, from key employees to business partners and even a few officials and their family members.
A cool autumn night, the sky was dotted with stars and the wind was gentle enough to make the ao dai sway, attracting people’s eyes. Amidst the pale yellow chandeliers shining from above, Le Chi stepped into the party space like a soft color, different from the glare.
Chi did not wear anything too elaborate. The modernized ao dai was made from the silk that Ha had given her the other day. The outfit was meticulously tailored, carefully highlighting Chi’s ideal measurements. Amidst a sea of flashy colors that showed off her elegance, and the youthfulness of her twenties, Chi made everyone passing by stop and look.
After four months working as Mr. Danh’s personal secretary, Chi’s beauty was no longer shy, it was becoming radiant and radiant in front of many people.
She was looking around frantically for her boss’s figure, and soon she saw him and proactively approached him. He did not mingle with the crowd but chose a corner for himself, perhaps he needed some quiet to prepare for his speech, Chi guessed so so she stood quietly at a distance from him.
Under the dim light, Chi followed his every step, every small gesture without him knowing. His tall figure, broad shoulders, slim waist and straight spine seemed as if the years had not aged him but only made him more manly. His face did not have the beauty of a star, but every line was harmonious, his nose was straight, his chin was strong, his eyes were deep and bright under his thick eyebrows. What made people unable to take their eyes off him was his charisma, the way he stood, calm but steady, the way he thought slowly, quietly without missing any changes around him. He did not need to raise his voice to make people respect him, just his eyes could conquer everyone.
Chi kept staring at him intently until he realized it, both of them were a little embarrassed. He almost regained his composure immediately, then he smiled and waved for her to come over.
– The party was luxurious but cozy enough, you did a great job Chi.
– Yes, that’s only possible thanks to the enthusiastic support of the media department.
– Work always requires everyone’s cooperation to achieve great results. Being humble is good, but don’t underestimate your own progress.
He stopped and turned to face the great hall where everyone was celebrating. He waited until Chi was standing shoulder to shoulder before continuing.
– When I first started my business, I only thought about improving the lives of those who followed me, and having a decent place for them to feel secure in contributing.
– Can we call it decent now, uncle?
– Yes, it is very spacious but I am not as excited as before. Sometimes we think that having it is happiness, not knowing that happiness is each step of maturity on the path to conquering the goal.
– So will you continue to set goals to conquer?
– Maybe but maybe now is not the right time, maybe we need more time.
Chi didn’t know what his goal was, but she secretly wished him success and promised herself that if possible, she would help him achieve that goal.
At this point it was time for Mr. Danh to speak, so the two temporarily parted ways.
The speech was not long and had few empty words, but everyone present felt respected and believed that after today’s party, all distances would be brought closer.
After the speech, the atmosphere of the party was pushed to a climax. The sound of clinking glasses and laughter echoed in the hall, but Le Chi still exuded an unusual calmness. After a period of learning and training with Mr. Danh, she was no longer the shy employee of the past. Her eyes were now sparkling, walking leisurely among the passionate gazes. Her hair fell lightly behind her back, the ao dai that fit her body well, highlighting her figure, both gentle and full of vitality. Her proud neck was a fresh ivory white, her chest was neat and round, a waist that seemed to be tightened with just two hands, and her plump buttocks moved rhythmically with each step she took. Her lovely face, gentle way of speaking, and the constant smile on her lips created a friendly feeling that made everyone want to get close.
It was that radiance that had knocked Quan out the moment he entered the party. He was the only son of the Chairman of the District Committee where the factory’s new workshop was located. He came with the air of someone who was always pampered and thought he was superior. He wasn’t drunk from the wine, but from the way Chi turned her head, her slight smile, her shy eyes when she returned the handshakes.
Coincidentally, beside Quan at this moment was not a stranger, but Dao with a greedy and scrutinizing gaze. He held a glass of wine in his hand, talking and laughing with Quan, standing shoulder to shoulder like someone borrowing air. He knew Quan was arrogant, and at the same time he was “in a daze”, so he just thought of a way to win Quan’s favor without losing anything. Even if he succeeded, he could enjoy it, if not, it was fine too.
Dao leaned over to Quan’s ear and whispered something that made his eyes light up. Less than a minute later, Quan leaned forward and raised his glass.
– Are you Mr. Danh’s personal secretary? You’re so pretty. Let’s have a drink together.
Chi nodded politely, trying to avoid the eyes that were searching her sensitive area. She took a sip of white wine and politely asked for permission.
– Yes, I’m sorry, I have to go pour wine for the guys over there…
Wait a minute.
Quan interrupted, lowered his voice, and gently supported her elbow, enough to make her pause but not dare to react too much.
– The other side is a guest and I am also a guest. My father is also the chairman of the district where you are setting up your new factory. Am I not worthy of your warm welcome?
At this time, Dao on one side also interjected.
– That’s right, Ms. Chi, even the General Director thinks highly of Mr. Quan. You should put aside your other matters and focus on talking to him.
Then he deliberately moved closer and whispered.
– He is an only child, his father spoils him a lot. Ms. Chi, be tactful so that boss Danh’s work will go smoothly.
Chi was very uncomfortable with the old man’s behavior, but since he had said so, she still tried to stay to continue talking to Quan. At this moment, old Dao was feeling light-headed again, the fresh scent of the young girl he had just inhaled from Chi was even more intoxicating than the drugs that he had not felt in a long time.
Quan saw that she did not continue to leave, so he thought his plan had succeeded, so he smirked, his eyes starting to look at Chi impolitely. He nodded as if satisfied, then looked around, pretending to speak loudly.
– It’s too noisy. Let’s go somewhere quieter to talk more easily…
Before Chi could refuse, his hand was behind her back, leading her away as if they were already very familiar with each other. Dao looked after her, his eyes hungry, his throat letting out a dry swallow. They turned to the left hallway, where there was only a row of paintings on the wall and the faint yellow light from the ceiling lamp.
Chi now struggled and did not move forward. She pushed Quan’s hand behind her back and spoke more firmly.
– Mr. Quan, let’s stop talking here. I still have to take care of the party. Boss Danh will definitely call me soon.
– What about Boss Danh? If Boss Danh knew I was trying to please you, he would even book a private room for us. Feel free to come in here with me. I will ask my dad to reconsider your pending forestry land conversion projects.
His sinister intentions were revealed. Chi would rather die than follow them, and she did not believe that boss Danh would be such a person. She flatly refused.
– Sorry, I have my own duties so I can’t talk to you anymore. Goodbye.
Chi was about to step back and turn around when someone from behind bumped into her, making her stumble. Quan was quicker than a thief, he took the opportunity to hug her and push her against the wall.
His hand touched her waist, then moved lower, brushed past her hips, passed between her two shirts, then pressed against her buttocks, squeezing them greedily. More daringly, he reached out to kiss her, and when he couldn’t, he slid down to her neck and pressed it against her chest. The smell of alcohol mixed with the smell of crude lust made Chi numb. But when she realized she was being violated, she immediately screamed.
– LET ME GO… CRASH…
She threw the wine glass on the floor, hoping the sound would be loud enough to alert the people around. But no, the hallway door had already closed, her resistance only made the wild beast inside Quan rage even more.
– Be good… who dares to do anything when Mr. Quan is here? My dad just needs to wave his hand and let the whole factory go… But if you know how to please me, I promise you will fly high like a kite… uhm… fragrant… oh soft.
– NO… I’M SICK… UHM… UHM…
He covered her mouth with his hand, the alcohol and excitement had made him lose his humanity, he continued with more animalistic movements. He pressed his swollen lower body against Chi’s plump pubic mound, the hardness of lust, pressing on the softness of youth. Chi cried, her tears fell drop by drop like pearls when every beauty she had preserved was violated by that worthless person.
Quan moaned, the softness of the young breasts and the heat radiating from the high pubic mound made him fall into ecstasy. Unable to control himself, he had no idea where he was and became even more rampant.
– Swish!
The sound of the tug on the dress, Quan wanted to see the whole masterpiece behind the ao dai.
Boom!
The loud sound of the door being kicked open was the sound of relief I had been waiting for.
And the tall black shadow with a cold gaze blocking the door was the most beautiful image to her. Mr. Danh rushed forward, taking off his shirt very quickly as he walked. Quan was like a mouse seeing a cat and quickly retreated. But he could not run away from Mr. Danh’s anger. He still managed to put the shirt in Chi’s hand and then… “BAM”.
With a kick that took all his strength, Quan crashed into the table at the end of the hallway and fell flat on the ground. Only then did he hastily open his mouth to apologize.
– Mr. Danh… Mr. Danh, calm down, it’s not my fault… it’s that brat, she saw my father’s influence so she wanted to cling to him to climb faster… don’t misunderstand…
Mr. Danh said nothing to him. He just took out his phone, dialed a number, and said each word clearly:
– President Quang? This is Danh. I just caught your son harassing my employee at the company’s 25th anniversary party. Your son is embarrassing you and me, along with Vice President Vien and many other officials at the office who are attending the party. If you can’t discipline your son, I will ask the police to discipline him. He probably thinks his father can cover the sky with one hand.
Then he hung up, still not paying attention to the young man lying on the floor with wide eyes. He helped Chi up, took a quick look and knew she was okay but still asked.
Are you okay?
Chi nodded, he calmly handed her over to another female employee to help her to a nearby sofa to sit. He turned to talk to the security guards behind him.
– Don’t let anyone in here. Go get all the cameras in this area for me.
Quan then crawled up, he spoke as if pleading with the person standing next to Mr. Danh at that time.
– Uncle Vien, I’m sorry, I was drunk and couldn’t control myself so I joked too much, it was just a misunderstanding, please tell Danh to forgive me.
At this moment, the other guard also returned, he whispered something that only Mr. Danh and Mr. Vien could hear. At this moment, the man that Quan called Mr. Vien spoke.
– Uncle Danh, well, there is no camera recording anyway, and your staff is fine, so you should just let this go. In return, the project to convert forest land into bamboo growing material area for your company will be approved. I think it is best to handle it in a harmonious way.
– No, I’m not for one…
A small hand grabbed his elbow, waiting for him to look at Chi and speak.
I’m fine.
Her eyes showed firmness, she wanted him to accept to handle things gently. Mr. Danh paused for a moment then nodded and said in a harsh voice.
– Throw this person out.
At this moment, Mr. Vien’s dark face relaxed, and he also returned to the party at Mr. Danh’s invitation. The party continued with very few people knowing what had just happened, and all of these people were carefully instructed to keep it a secret. Believing that with the weight of Mr. Danh and Mr. Vien’s words, this matter certainly would not spread too far.
At this moment, a young man walking beside him continued to whisper something, making Mr. Danh’s eyes become colder. He spoke softly.
– As soon as the additional raw material area is formed, immediately get him out of the company. From now on, don’t let him have a single day of leisure. If you can’t do this, resign as director and go to England.
Yes, I know.
Having said that, the young man looked at Chi a little longer and then left. Mr. Danh then slowly approached Chi. He placed his hand lightly on her shoulder, looked deeply into her eyes as she looked up and spoke firmly.
There will be no next time.
The short sentence contained a deep commitment between the two. Mr. Danh knew that Chi had just accepted to forgive him because he did not want to displease Mr. Vien. As for Chi, having his vest on her body completely made up for the resentment she had received today.
