Chapter 20 Goddaughter
On the other side of the phone, Liu Shishi, who was at home, rolled around on the bed and pretended to be fierce and said, "How dare you mention this? I have told you several times not to call me Shi Ye or Liu Haha or give me nicknames. How dare you make such a note? I will not bear grudges and will change the note. You are not allowed to change it back."
Hearing that Miss Liu was not angry about not taking her to the East China Sea, Song Ci quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, I won't change."
Yesterday, when Liu Shishi knew that he was coming to Donghai, she insisted on going with him. It took Song Ci a long time to persuade her to give up the idea of going to Donghai.
Liu Shishi, who had gotten what she wanted, recalled the time when she went to the Bund before and asked happily, "Didn't you go out for a walk? The night view of the East China Sea is very beautiful."
Song Ci yawned, "I'm a little tired today and don't want to go out. Besides, I'm here to discuss work, so I should be back to Beiping tomorrow afternoon."
Being tired was one thing, but Song Ci was really not interested in the bright lights and nightlife and just wanted to stay in the hotel quietly.
Hearing Song Ci's tired voice, Liu Shishi said gently and considerately: "Then you should rest early. I will pick you up tomorrow when the plane arrives in Peking."
"No need, I'll arrange for Wang Shan to drive over to pick me up."
"Okay then! Bye, good night!" Feeling a little disappointed, just as she was about to hang up the phone, Liu Shishi remembered something and quickly said, "Yi Yi, guess who I met today?"
Song Ci was also very curious, "Who is it?"
Liu Shishi was dissatisfied with the little brother's perfunctory response, "I asked you to guess!"
Song Ci chuckled and said, "My father or my mother?"
Miss Liu pouted. The dog man's IQ was really high. He guessed it right in seconds. "No wonder, it's Auntie. How did you guess it right in one go?"
Song Ci laughed and explained, "If you let me guess, it must be someone I know. The only people you can meet when you get home from get off work are my parents."
"Auntie was especially kind to me today and even asked me to come to your house for dinner."
Liu Shishi had a silly smile on her face. Aunt Liu's attitude today made her particularly happy. Her future mother-in-law had no objection, so her chances of winning over this bad man had increased.
One can imagine the scene of Shi Ye meeting his mother. Song Ci couldn't help but laugh, "My mother has always liked you and treated you as her daughter!"
"I don't want to be a daughter!" Liu Shishi became anxious when she heard this and shouted excitedly. She only wanted to be Liu Xiaoxian's daughter-in-law!
Song Ci pretended to be regretful and said, "I have always wanted a younger sister, Shishi, how about I ask my mother to take you in as her goddaughter!"
Liu Shishi was furious, fearing that the bad man really had such thoughts, and her voice was a little tearful, "Song Yiyi, you clearly know it, don't go too far!"
Hearing Liu Shishi's heavy nasal voice, Song Ci was afraid that he might make her cry if he went too far, so he hurriedly said, "I was just kidding, Shishi."
When Liu Shishi heard this, she snorted angrily, "Song Yiyi, you've been annoying me lately. I think you're itching for trouble. When you come back, I'm going to give you a good beating."
Song Ci begged for mercy: "Please let me go, Master Shi!"
"Song Yiyi, you are really itching to get into trouble. You still call me Master Shi and give me a random nickname!"
The next morning, in the VIP reception room of a high-end teahouse in PD District, Donghai City, Song Ci met the target person of this trip, Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong wore a pair of black-framed glasses and a white short-sleeved shirt. He was thin and elegant, about thirty years old, which was the prime age for a man.
"Mr. Zhang, I've long heard of your name." Song Ci smiled kindly and gently, looking eager to seek talented people and respectful to them.
Zhang Yong shook hands with Song Ci who stood up to greet him. Looking at the young man who insisted on meeting him, he was surprised at his unexpected youth and handsomeness. He couldn't help but praise him, "Mr. Song is really young and promising!"
"Please take a seat, Mr. Zhang." Song Ci invited Zhang Yong to sit down in front of the tea table and personally made a cup of tea for him.
Taking the teacup handed over by Song Ci, Zhang Yong said casually: "Mr. Song is too polite. I am a few years older than you. You can just call me Lao Zhang."
Zhang Yong felt that the past ten days were magical and he suddenly became a popular commodity.
First, a headhunting company contacted me and told me that a new Internet company called Tenda Technology wanted to hire me as CEO and promised me preferential treatment. The company boss invited me to go to Kyoto for an interview.
Before he had the chance to leave for the north, Shanda Games, a well-known domestic Internet company, suddenly invited him to join as CFO.
Compared with a small start-up company like Tenda Technology, Shanda, a listed company, was naturally more attractive to Zhang Yong, so Zhang Yong rejected Tenda Technology and decided to work for Shanda Games.
But it was hard to refuse the sincere invitation from Tenda Technology. The company's boss has now come to Donghai City in person. The business world also values personal relationships. It is reasonable for Zhang Yong to meet with Song Ci.
Since he had already rejected the offer, Zhang Yong did not beat around the bush with Song Ci and came straight to the point, "Boss Song, I really appreciate you thinking highly of me, Zhang. But I am definitely not rejecting your company to play some trick of waiting for a better price or being mysterious.
Mr. Song even came to Donghai to invite me sincerely. I will not hide it from you. I have decided to work for Shanda. Mr. Chen, the boss of Shanda, invited me to be the CFO. "
Song Ci didn't say anything polite, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your honesty, Lao Zhang, but don't be in a hurry. Since everyone is here, have a cup of tea first and we can talk slowly."
Zhang Yong nodded. He admired Song Ci's composure. He was indeed a little impatient just now. It would be a good choice to chat with an outstanding young entrepreneur.
When Zhang Yong thought of this, he felt relaxed. He leisurely sipped the tea in the cup and waited quietly for Song Ci's profound remarks to see how he was going to convince him.
Song Ci also took a sip of tea to refresh himself and moisten his throat.
"It has been exactly ten years since the development of the domestic Internet. Countless Internet companies have risen and fallen. How many of the current thriving Internet companies will survive in ten or twenty years?" Zhang said.
Zhang Yong is from a finance background and has only a limited understanding of the Internet industry. He was immediately speechless, "This..."
Before Zhang Yong could speak, Song Ci said directly: "Penguin in the instant messaging field, Baidu in the search field, and Alibaba in the e-commerce field can thrive for 20 years by virtue of their dominance or unique operations in their respective fields.
As for the three major portals, if they fail to seize the opportunity to break through and innovate, the future is foreseeable. They will probably only survive but will no longer enjoy glory.
As for Shanda Games, if Chen Tianqiao still wants to develop his Shanda Box, Shanda Games may no longer exist in a few years. "
Zhang Yong was not angry when he heard Song Ci's remarks disparaging Shanda, but after all, it was a company that he had taken a fancy to and was preparing to work for, so Zhang Yong thought about it and decided to make a leisurely rebuttal.
"Let's not talk about other companies. As far as Shanda Games is concerned, I think Mr. Chen's idea of a box is still very promising. Mr. Song's statement is too alarmist."
