In the latest episode of the show Husband and Wife , MC Hong Van and Quoc Thuan welcomed the participation of Tran Hoang Diem Tram (36 years old) and Tran Huu Phung (31 years old). The couple is the owner of an eyelash supply chain system in the US.

When they were still in Vietnam, the two met through a messaging app. Diem Tram thought to herself that she didn't have a boyfriend yet, but there was someone who texted and talked charmingly, so she wanted to "get to know each other for fun". Huu Phung also had the same thought, because he still had a year left before going to America.

After a month of chatting online, the two had their first date at a restaurant. As soon as they met, Diem Tram felt that this guy was not her type. She felt that the other person was "childish" and cute, while she liked tall, big, and muscular men. But seeing Phung's handsomeness, Tram was a little flustered.

The couple went to the US to start a business and own 18 stores (Video: NL).

Huu Phung said that at first, when he texted, he only saw a half-body photo of his wife, not clearly visible. "Actually, I also had a strategy of chatting first to gradually absorb it," he shared. When they met, Phung found Tram to be a bit short but to his liking, very active and had a knack for business.

At first, Huu Phung said he was the same age as Diem Tram. But then, he confessed the truth by showing his ID card to the girl. At that time, Tram was quite surprised because this guy was 5 years younger than her. Feeling that something was wrong, the girl's family wanted to go home immediately, even though the two were on a date.

Huu Phung was not surprised because he had anticipated this situation, but he was still determined to talk to and convince Diem Tram.

At that time, Tram's income was much higher than Phung's, and the groom's family had nothing but the spirit of entrepreneurship. Tram was the one who always encouraged and accompanied Phung. Therefore, he really appreciated that feeling.

Meanwhile, the girl's family realized that this guy was hard-working and strong-willed, exactly the type she was looking for. Gradually, Tram "fell" for Phung without realizing it.

After 9 months together, Huu Phung went to America to start a career. "Our love story was also very difficult. At that time, he told me he was going to America at the end of the year, I was also shocked because I was already deeply in love and worried about the relationship," Tram said.

She continued: "You asked me if I wanted to get married as a token of love, but I didn't accept because we'd only known each other for a year and we had nothing to bind us together. I was afraid that if you left and didn't come back to marry me, I would be discredited, so I didn't like it."

During the 3 years of their long-distance relationship, the two often called each other. Every 6 months, Diem Tram went to the US to visit her lover. Recalling the time of their long-distance relationship, the girl's family could not help but choke up. Diem Tram felt very sorry when she saw her husband struggling to cycle to school and then to work.

After 8 years of marriage, the couple built a home with a nearly 3-year-old daughter (Photo: FBNV).

At the time of the wedding, Huu Phung's finances were not stable, but he had saved enough money to get married. After the wedding, he borrowed gold from his wife to start a new business. Diem Tram never refused her husband, even though he failed many times. Out of 4 times of starting a business, Huu Phung was left empty-handed all 4 times.

Huu Phung's business boomed when his wife moved to the US to reunite with him. She decided to quit her stable job to start a business with her husband. They started their career with nothing, so there was a lot of pressure. Since they were new to the profession, they had not yet found the right taste, so they spent a lot of money and had to save every penny.

Diem Tram found a stable job to pay for rent and insurance, and to support her husband so he could go to work with peace of mind. At that time, Huu Phung took each product to each nail salon, selling a few boxes because the products were so new. They used that money to buy gas and bread.

After many years of effort, Diem Tram - Huu Phung have achieved success and are now owners of 18 stores in the US.
