Chapter 426 Shen Zui is Sidney
Fifteen years ago, Song Yansheng’s father had an accident and became a vegetable, and the Song Group he had founded was taken over by Song Zhongming.
Song Zhongming had just been appointed as vice president in the company, while Song Yansheng was still young, and the Song Family had no other relatives. So, it seemed reasonable for the outside world that he temporarily assumed the role of president.
However, later on, when Yu Yao fell seriously ill, and Song Xiuwen’s only son, Song Yansheng, encountered successive mishaps, connecting these events naturally aroused suspicion.
But not much of this series of events was known to the public, and Shi Nuan only heard about it from Song Yansheng in the past two months.
In Shi Nuan’s mind, although the Song Group hadn’t made much progress over the years, it had not fallen into rapid decline either. Song Zhongming did have some business acumen.
If such a person was involved in the Song family’s series of incidents back then, how dare he act so recklessly while still believing in Song Yansheng?
Especially the Lishui Project, which should be the biggest investment of the Song Group in the coming half-year. They must win this bid.
If they fail to secure it, the impact on the Song Group would be immense. Yet, in such circumstances, he dared to show the project plan to Song Yansheng?
It’s really quite curious!
Shi Nuan and Song Yansheng returned to the Song Mansion. They had been resting for less than ten minutes when Song Zhongming arrived with his team at the Song Mansion.
When Shi Nuan was initially engaged to Song Yichuan, she met Song Zhongming quite a few times, so meeting him in such a setting was somewhat awkward. She excused herself to go upstairs.
Song Yansheng didn’t stop her and instructed Aunt Hui to bring a fruit platter and some hot juice upstairs, telling the little girl to relax alone.
Soon after Shi Nuan went upstairs, Song Zhongming was ushered in by the servant.
He only saw a hint of light blue shadow at the staircase, guessed who it might be, and didn’t ask further. He directly asked the project leader to show their bidding plan to Song Yansheng!
...
Shi Nuan stayed upstairs for half an hour before Aunt Hui came to call her down for dinner.
Shi Nuan had been so absorbed in her book that she hadn’t noticed if Song Zhongming had already left.
Aunt Hui noticed Shi Nuan’s hesitation and respectfully said, "Lady, Mr. Song has already left!"
Shi Nuan responded with an "oh" and felt somewhat embarrassed, but also appreciated Aunt Hui’s perceptiveness.
Aunt Hui was indeed remarkable, no wonder she’d been working at the Song Mansion for so long...
When Shi Nuan went downstairs, Song Yansheng was not in the living room. A servant sorting the tea set downstairs said, "Mr. Song is making a call in the garden, he’ll be back soon!"
Shi Nuan understood and didn’t think much of it. She sat on the sofa, waiting.
On the table, there were some newspapers. She casually picked one up to read.
The newspapers were stacked neatly, looking like they hadn’t been browsed by anyone, which made sense since she was in a rush to work today and Song Yansheng naturally hadn’t had time to read them.
Shi Nuan initially looked at the finance section. Besides the upcoming bidding for the Lishui Project, there was no particularly attention-grabbing news.
She then turned to the current affairs section and casually browsed, finding nothing of interest to her.
Just as she was about to put the newspaper back, her eyes suddenly caught a piece of news in the entertainment section.
The newspaper featured a man’s photo, but it was only a side profile, and he wore sunglasses.
Yet even so, she recognized him instantly; it was Shen Zui, but the name given in the paper was: Sidney!
Sidney?
Shi Nuan recalled that once, she had seemed to see this name in the paper before!
At the time, the photo almost obscured the man’s face; she felt it was familiar but didn’t think much of it!
Now she realized: so it was Shen Zui all along!
