Do Thi Thu Thuy (SN 1997, hometown Vinh Yen, Vinh Phuc) and fellow countryman Vu Dang Khoa (SN 1993) met through an online dating app and decided to meet after 2 days. Right in the first meal, Thuy urged Khoa to eat quickly so she could go home early.

The bank employee was very surprised when this girl went on a date and wanted to return in such a hurry. I found out that Thuy was going back and forth nearly 100km between Vinh Phuc and Hanoi to work.

He even enthusiastically supported me,” Thu Thuy recalled in a conversation with Dan Tri.

Her free spirit suddenly arose, wishing to have a leisurely life, doing what she likes, without being scolded or imposed by anyone.

Since then, Thu Thuy and Dang Khoa officially became a couple.

A month after quitting her job, Thuy just stayed at home to play and make many business plans for the future. In her plans, there is always a part for the guy Dang Khoa.

However, Thuy’s difficulty was convincing her boyfriend to go home with her when he already had a house in Hanoi and earned thousands of dollars in a foreign bank. A life that takes many years of effort to achieve is not just a matter of wanting to give up.

In the midst of Thuy’s confusion, Khoa suggested to her an idea that she said was “stupid” – selling knives. “When the two of them had spent most of their money, he confided that his hometown – Ly Nhan commune, Vinh Tuong district, Vinh Phuc province – had a knife-making village. His parents also had a blacksmith workshop and his father was a skilled craftsman. I want to try selling goods produced by my parents,” Thuy recalled the early days of her career when sharing with Vietnamnet.

Besides, Thuy also upholds customer care right from the first day of sales. “Even if I send the wrong item or have any problems, I try to handle it as best as possible so that the customer can give me a 5-star rating. Some customers shared that if they compare our knives with Japanese knives, German knives costing millions is not equal, but they like the way they take care of their customers and feel loved,” Thuy said about her business secret.
