On the wedding night, her childhood friend and husband confessed that he had fallen in love with her own younger sister. Song Nuan was dumbfounded.
What left her even more stunned was that th...
The next morning, Song Nuan came to the hospital to see Qin Guangsheng.
He recovered very well, and apart from not being able to engage in strenuous exercise, he is basically no different from an ordinary person.
When Song Nuan arrived, Qin Guangsheng was still in an online meeting, which had been going on for over an hour.
After putting her things down, Song Nuan asked the housekeeper, "What's so urgent at the company?"
The butler sighed, "I heard that the Berlin Jewelry project is going to be handed over to the Qin family, but the Qin family needs to open a separate production line, so the shareholders' meeting was urgently convened."
Setting up a separate production line requires a significant initial investment of capital and manpower.
The Qin family is currently under immense pressure.
If the production line is opened but the cooperation with Berlin Jewelry is not secured, then the Qin family will not be far from bankruptcy and restructuring.
“The cooperation hasn’t been finalized yet, and Uncle Qin’s current health can’t support such high-intensity work.” Song Nuan frowned slightly. “Where’s Qin Yuchuan? Didn’t he come?”
Mentioning him, the butler let out an even longer sigh, "Young Master is injured."
Song Nuan understood the butler's implication and did not press the matter further. She said disdainfully, "When he was so aggressive yesterday, demanding that I move out of the Qin family, he didn't seem like a wounded person at all."
The housekeeper looked worried and didn't say anything.
Half an hour later, Qin Guangsheng finished his meeting.
Upon seeing Song Nuan, the weariness in his eyes vanished instantly, and he waved to her with a smile, "Nuan Nuan, what brings you here today? Isn't there a shareholders' meeting at Song Corporation?"
"The shareholders' meeting is in the afternoon," Song Nuan said with a smile. "Uncle Qin, although you are in good health now, the doctor also said that you should not overwork yourself and should pay more attention to rest."
Qin Guangsheng just smiled, then suddenly changed the subject: "Have you considered going back to work at Qin's?"
Song Nuan didn't react for a moment.
"The Berlin Jewelry collaboration should be handed over to the Qin family. I don't have the energy to follow up on the whole project, but to be honest, I don't feel comfortable entrusting it to Yu Chuan."
At the doorway, Qin Yuchuan's face was gloomy as he pushed the door open a crack.
Berlin Jewelry is actually going to cooperate with the Qin family?
Song Nuan was equally shocked, "The contract has already been signed?"
Berlin Jewelry is positioned in the international high-end market.
We've always had established partnerships with manufacturers, so why would we so abruptly change our partners to Qin's?
"Uncle Qin, are you planning to entrust the production of the high-end line to us when you open a new production line?" Song Nuan asked, genuinely puzzled.
"That's how it is for now." Qin Guangsheng patted her shoulder, placing high hopes on her. "Tomorrow afternoon, Ms. Lin, the general manager of Berlin Jewelry, will come to the company to sign the contract. You know her, so it's best if you represent Qin's Group."
Song Nuan was somewhat stunned.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open violently, slamming against the wall with a loud bang.
Qin Yuchuan stormed in, furious. "Dad, what do you mean it's best for her to represent the Qin family? I am the future heir of the Qin family, and such an important cooperation should be entrusted to me!"
What brings you here?
Song Nuan frowned slightly and stood up. "This is a hospital, please keep your voice down."
"Song Nuan, that's enough." Qin Yuchuan's face turned green with disgust at the sight of her. "Go back to your Song Corporation and don't even think about fighting me for the family fortune! Isn't one Song Corporation enough to satisfy you?"
As he spoke, he even pushed Song Nuan.
Song Nuan lost her balance and bumped her lower back on the sharp corner of the table.
The pain instantly spread throughout my body.
Song Nuan frowned and stepped aside.
She never intended to fight for the Qin family's assets; all she wanted was what belonged to her. The Song family's assets were rightfully hers, and she wouldn't take anything more than what wasn't hers.
“I…” Song Nuan began to speak, but was interrupted by Qin Guangsheng.
Qin Guangsheng stood in front of Song Nuan, protecting her like a cub, "The Berlin Group project was originally secured for us by Nuan Nuan. Don't forget, the project you're currently working on with the tech upstart was also negotiated by Nuan Nuan!"
Qin Yuchuan's expression turned even more unpleasant.
Yes, Qin Guangsheng is right.
After the Qin family was embroiled in scandal, Qin Yuchuan lost several projects. The others that remained stable were just regular collaborations with small companies that didn't bring much profit to the company.
The board of directors therefore questioned his work ability quite a bit.
Fortunately, on the day of Zhou Min's birthday banquet, the Qin family secured a collaboration with a tech upstart.
Qin Guangsheng handed the project over to him.
Only then did he manage to gain a foothold in front of the board of directors.
Come to think of it, it really was thanks to Song Nuan.
Realizing this, Qin Yuchuan felt as if a ball of cotton was stuck in his heart, soft and yielding, yet it made him extremely uncomfortable, resentful, and with nowhere to vent his frustration.
"I just returned to China, so it's normal that my network isn't as extensive as hers!" Qin Yuchuan finally managed to say after holding back for a long time.
Song Nuan found it laughable.
When she first returned to China, the Qin family still had influence, and Qin Yuchuan almost drove her to her death. Didn't she have a lot of connections back then?
"I've already made up my mind about this, you don't need to say anything more." Qin Guangsheng's attitude was firm. "Nuan Nuan will sign the contract tomorrow. As for who will take over the subsequent projects, if Nuan Nuan is unwilling, I will find someone else to take over."
The atmosphere became tense the moment the words were spoken.
Qin Yuchuan was incredulous. After a long while, he sneered, "Fine, Qin Guangsheng, you'll regret this!"
He slammed the door and left.
Qin Guangsheng clutched his chest and slumped onto the bed.
Song Nuan hurriedly said to the butler, "Uncle Li, where's the medicine? Bring it here!"
After taking the medicine, Qin Guangsheng looked better.
The housekeeper was furious with Qin Yuchuan's behavior, but could only offer words of comfort.
“Sir, the young master has been living abroad for the past few years and has picked up that straightforward personality from overseas. He doesn’t have any bad intentions, so please don’t take his words to heart.”
Song Nuan added, "Yes, Uncle Qin, he's just too competitive. Regarding the Berlin Group matter, I think we should..."
"no!"
Guessing what she wanted to say, Qin Guangsheng immediately refused.
After catching his breath and feeling less pain in his heart, he said, "Nuan Nuan, you must take over this project."
He has already agreed to Li Jingchen's request.
Moreover, whether the Qin family can be revived depends entirely on this collaboration with Berlin Jewelry.
Qin Guangsheng dared not place his bet on Qin Yuchuan.
Even though he didn't particularly think highly of Song Nuan deep down, the relationship between Song Nuan and Li Jingchen was his strongest reassurance.
"Alright then." Song Nuan had no choice but to agree.
In the afternoon, she arrived at Song's on time, and the conference room was already full of shareholders.
Lu Ziyang sat next to Song Zhiren.
The two looked at each other, but Song Nuan looked away after only a second.
She was busy tidying up her things, unaware that Lu Ziyang's gaze was fixed on her.
They haven't spoken since their argument yesterday.
We've never sent each other messages on WeChat.
Wang Renyi sat next to Song Nuan and whispered a reminder: "Nuan Nuan, I just did some research and it seems that Song Zhiren's faction has been almost completely subdued, and they will force you to resign today."
Song Nuan pondered.
Then I asked him, "Uncle Wang, based on your understanding, besides you, who else is likely to defect and support me now?"
