Song Qingyou was born with a beautiful bone structure, her appearance captivating and renowned throughout the capital. However, she had been sickly since childhood, like a precious porcelain doll, ...
Fu Wenzhou's medicine had to be changed every morning and evening. Song Qingyou later asked Yun Nian to change the medicine. She didn't dare to look at the injuries on his body, afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears.
At this moment, Yun Nian is helping Fu Wenzhou change his dressing in the room, while Xu Zezhan, Gu Bai, and Song Qingyou are having breakfast on the fifth floor.
Gu Bai took a bite of bread and found it tasteless: "Breakfast in China is still the best."
Xu Zezhan peeled the egg in his hand and threw it into his bowl: "You're lucky to have anything to eat, stop being so picky."
Gu Bai picked up an egg, took a bite, and looked at Song Qingyou, who was drinking porridge: "When are you planning to go back?"
Song Qingyou raised her eyes: "After Fu Wenzhou's injuries have healed."
Xu Zezhan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "That's another month. Are you planning to stay here with him the whole time?"
"Hmm." Song Qingyou's expression was indifferent.
Gu Bai asked in surprise, "The Song family has just undergone a transformation. Can you manage not to go back for so long?"
Song Qingyou remained expressionless: "Okay."
Gu Bai stared at Song Qingyou for several seconds before saying, "Anyway, Xu Zezhan and I will go back to China first. When we have time, we'll visit the Song family. Don't worry."
Song Qingyou nodded: "Okay."
After pondering for a moment, Xu Zezhan said, "Have you considered cooperating with Yunrui?"
Song Qingyou put down her spoon. "What do you mean?"
Xu Zezhan said, "Don't you have a batch of chips that you haven't found a partner for? It just so happens that the chip supplier that Yunrui used to supply was too slow, and the headquarters is considering changing suppliers. If we cooperate, we can take your batch of chips, but there is a condition: the price must be 10% lower than the market price."
Song Qingyou agreed: "A 10% discount is acceptable, but Yunruide must sign a cooperation agreement with us for at least three years, and Song's Group will guarantee to supply goods on schedule every month."
Xu Zezhan tapped the table with his fingertips: "Okay."
Gu Bai was dumbfounded, not understanding why they had to talk about company matters over a meal.
It made him seem like he was neglecting his duties.
He stood up, still chewing on his egg, not wanting to stay in front of these two arrogant men any longer: "I'm going to deliver breakfast to Wenzhou."
Song Qingyou asked two more questions about the crises Song's Group is currently facing during its transformation, and Xu Zezhan analyzed them for her one by one.
"If you want Song's to undergo a complete transformation, you not only need to seize the opportunity of AI intelligence, but also engage in related industries. It would be best to strengthen your self-developed technology."
Song Qingyou: "Thank you."
Xu Zezhan said calmly, "Independent research and development is a good thing, but the initial investment cost is too high. You might as well accept Liang Muchuan's cooperation proposal. Didn't he offer you his entire project team before?"
“I don’t plan to take it,” Song Qingyou said.
Xu Zezhan smiled maliciously: "You can think of it another way. Take his R&D team to your Song Group, give him some shares, and you also contribute some money. It's not like you're getting it for free, but you'll have control in your hands."
Song Qingyou was slightly taken aback; how could Xu Zezhan have come up with such a despicable idea?
Xu Zezhan continued, "The Liang family suffered a significant blow this time because of his uncle's matter. Liang Muchuan's project is still in a loss-making state, and his father has told him to withdraw from the project as soon as possible. So now is the perfect time for you to make your move."
Xu Zezhan leaned back and said, "In a sense, you not only saved Liang Muchuan, but you also gave him some shares. He's grateful to you more than anything."
Song Qingyou's lips twitched: "...Really?"
“Of course,” Xu Zezhan said. “We are businessmen, and profit comes first. Don’t see him as Fu Wenzhou’s brother. Just see him as an ordinary passerby who is having trouble starting a business.”
"..." Song Qingyou: "Isn't he your brother too?"
Xu Zezhan's lips curled up slightly: "Brothers are meant to be tricked."
Moreover, what he said was true; if his father didn't allocate funds from the head office, Liang Muchuan's project would have to be stopped.
Once funding dries up, the project will be forced to terminate, and then a bunch of people will definitely come and take advantage of the situation.
Tsk.
Of course, family members should take advantage of the cheap deals.
Song Qingyou pursed her lips. She naturally knew that Xu Zezhan was telling her these things to help her. She had never been a kind person either. Since this advantage was destined to be taken by someone else, she might as well take it herself.
She looked at Xu Zezhan and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Xu Zezhan shrugged: "No need for thanks, just don't send any more girls' WeChat to Gu Bai."
Song Qingyou was speechless for once. After a while, she suddenly asked him, "I remember you seemed to have had a girlfriend before?"
Xu Zezhan: "Hmm, what's wrong?"
"Then why are you still..." Song Qingyou hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Xu Zezhan understood what she meant and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm trying my best to straighten myself out."
Although Song Qingyou didn't quite understand their group, she still respected them. "Liking someone isn't shameful. You're just having a crush on someone who won't come to you, and it has nothing to do with gender. If you date someone you don't like just because they don't like you, you're not only hurting them but also yourself."
Xu Zezhan's smile was somewhat bitter as he looked out the window: "In families like ours, marriage is often not something we can decide for ourselves. In the end, he and I will both marry someone suitable."
After a few seconds of silence, Song Qingyou said, "I used to think the same way. I felt that I wouldn't live long, and I was afraid that others would look at me and Fu Wenzhou with strange eyes, and I was worried that they would gossip behind my back. But later I realized that thinking too much is useless. The most important thing is that the two of us can be together well. I love him very much, and I even selfishly hope that even if I pass away in the future, there will only be me in his world."
Song Qingyou said softly, "No matter who you end up marrying, I hope you can marry someone you love. This person doesn't have to be Gu Bai; anyone else is fine, even a man."
Xu Zezhan's pupils suddenly contracted as he silently stared at Song Qingyou.
Song Qingyou said slowly, "Any kind of love in this world deserves to be bathed in sunlight, so it's not something to be ashamed of. Gender can't limit what you like, and neither can people."
Xu Zezhan pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.
