Chapter 580: Dare Not Provoke Me
Wang Zhu was taken aback for a moment, looking surprised at Chi Rui, then at the man sitting calmly in the main seat with his eyes lowered, drinking tea.
Although Song Yansheng hadn’t said a word, he could already tell from Chi Rui’s few words that Song Yansheng wasn’t joking; he truly planned to break ties with Song Zhongming.
Wang Zhu couldn’t help but take a deep breath. To the outside world, it seemed like Song Yansheng respected this cousin, who was much older than him, and had even willingly handed over the Lishui Project.
When Song Zhongming’s son, Song Yichuan, passed away, it was Song Yansheng who personally organized the grand funeral.
Unexpectedly, behind the scenes, the two were actually at such loggerheads.
But on reflection, it’s not surprising. Fifteen years ago, Song Yansheng’s father, Song Xiuwen, suddenly became a vegetable due to an accident, and afterwards, the Song Group was seized by Song Zhongming.
Later, Song Yansheng was sent abroad, staying overseas for a full seven years.
Seven years later, twenty-one-year-old Song Yansheng returned, and everyone thought he would take over the Song Group upon his return.
After all, the Song Group was his father’s business. At that time, Song Zhongming only temporarily managed it because he was too young. Now at twenty-one, he had grown up.
But to everyone’s great surprise, Song Yansheng didn’t take the Song Group; instead, he started a new company, known as TK.
At that time, there were various opinions from the outside, both good and bad. Although he was just the director of a small cotton factory, he had heard a lot about it.
And he had his own views on it.
He believed that the reason Song Yansheng didn’t take over the Song Group at that time was because he was not strong enough, and he felt that if he entered the Song Group as a fledgling, he would inevitably be sidelined by Song Zhongming. Rather than that, it was better to bide his time.
What changed his attitude was seeing the Song Group decline while the TK Group emerged as a new force and became a leader in T City.
By that time, Song Yansheng already had the ability to compete with Song Zhongming, but he didn’t break ties with him and instead, outwardly, they maintained a very good relationship.
Of course, it’s clear now that this "very good" was just for show!
Wang Zhu straightened up and said, "Whatever Mr. Song wants me to do, just say it. I’ll make as much trouble as I can. Anyway, I have nothing now and I’m not afraid of Song Zhongming at all..."
Chi Rui nodded over there, then extended a hand to Wang Zhu, smiling politely, "Well then, Mr. Wang, we look forward to collaborating with you!"
Wang Zhu shook hands with Chi Rui, trembling.
...
After Wang Zhu left, Song Yansheng remained silently sitting there.
Chi Rui saw Wang Zhu to the door, and upon returning, approached the man and asked, "Mr. Song, do you think Wang Zhu is reliable?"
Song Yansheng smirked and said, "I think, no matter how bold he is, it should not be so big as to dare cross me!"
The reason he came to meet Wang Zhu personally just now was out of fear that the other wouldn’t commit and would leave himself a way out.
And by not saying a word to him, he indicated that his status was not worthy of a direct conversation with Song Yansheng.
Wang Zhu is just a small figure now. Being able to see Song Yansheng was already a great honor for him.
Moreover, with TK as his backing, he would feel more confident and unscrupulous when wanting to do something.
"Hey, besides the three cotton factory management members mentioned by Wang Zhu, there’s another person you can look into..."
Chi Rui thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Song, are you referring to Wang Zhu’s female assistant?"
Song Yansheng smiled faintly and said, "Since Mr. Liang passed away, although the Liang Family has declined, it’s not like they have no power at all..."
