Chapter 618: Why So Generous All of a Sudden?
Song Zhongming has navigated the business world for nearly twenty years, and he’s become accustomed to the deceit and cunning found there.
Being set up is nothing new; over the years, he’s stumbled more than once. What worries him this time is that the person making him stumble is the one he’d least like to provoke right now!
Song Zhongming sat there for a long time, ultimately making a decision—he needed to meet with Wang Zhu.
He asked his assistant to arrange the meeting, and the assistant was efficient. By nine in the evening, he’d already met with Wang Zhu.
Wang Zhu wasn’t foolish; he understood what Song Zhongming meant. He didn’t agree immediately, nor did he refuse outright.
He just said he would go back and think it over.
After hearing the response, Song Zhongming remained silent for a long time, his face somber.
At that time, he was still in the office and hadn’t returned to Nanshan Residence.
All the Song Family staff had gone home by then, leaving only an assistant, a secretary, and security personnel.
Song Zhongming had no real reason to stay at the company.
He didn’t want to return to Nanshan Residence, knowing that once he did, more troubling matters awaited.
During the day, there had been several calls from Nanshan Residence. He was annoyed and hadn’t answered any.
Afraid that someone at home might come looking for him at the office, he asked his daughter to stay home in the afternoon.
But his brother-in-law was calling constantly, saying the issue would be resolved and he would apologize in person later.
It was just a matter of trying to calm things. If the situation continued, who knew if his life would end one day; why bother worrying about these people?
It was then that the phone in his pocket started ringing.
He picked it up to see a string of numbers, but he knew who it was.
He answered the call.
On the other end, a woman’s voice, slightly gloating: "I always knew you’re restless. But even when you sleep with women, can’t you pick a little? Now there’s trouble, happy?"
Song Zhongming frowned: "This isn’t the time to talk about that. Solving the problem is priority one, and on top of that, you need to help me steady things on your end!"
"Steady?" the woman sneered. "Can I steady things? Your news leaks keep coming out one after another, and soon everyone in T City knows. Who can hold on?"
"Can’t hold on, but still need to..." Song Zhongming said, "There’s another thing, equally important to me right now. I hope your cousin can marry Qingyang as fast as possible. If you have the time, push him a bit!"
The woman laughed again: "Oh, you’re asking me to steady the old guy on one hand and dig out his resource on the other, where on earth there are such good things? Moreover, even if my cousin is competent, he is quite deep and I’ve never been able to understand him, nor do I fully trust him. Yet, you’re so assured of him!"
"Assured? Far from it! But right now, whether or not I’m assured, I have to use him. My condition for using him is that he must be my son-in-law. Even if he has ambitions that could harm Song Family in the future, at least what he gains will belong to him and my daughter’s future children. In this regard, I won’t lose!"
The woman was stunned: "This isn’t like you. You’re not one to play the role of a woman’s tailor. What makes you suddenly so generous? Besides, you seem flustered—did something happen?"
"You don’t need to ask. I won’t drag you into it. Also, I’ve lured your cousin away from Shi Family, meaning there won’t be anyone to compete with you and Tian Chao for Shi Family in the future—doesn’t that suit you perfectly?"
