The male designer has set a rule not to share details of his private life or personal relationships when giving interviews to the media.

He once revealed that the monthly pressure was trying to sell enough goods to cover rent, pay staff salaries, and keep the company afloat.

"No matter what anyone does, no matter how important or wealthy they are, everyone wants to sleep peacefully at night. To be honest, I don't go to meditation classes, but I've been meditating my whole life. What's important is your mindset, keeping your mind calm," the designer expressed.

Cong Tri's life is prosperous and wealthy, befitting his position and work. This is the result of his hard work and tireless efforts over many years.
