197. Chapter 191: Chen Fuzhen's Forcing the Emperor to Abdicate



Jin Yuwen stood in the middle, and he saw the tall, sharp-eyed Song Mingzhe at a glance. Song Yi hurriedly walked to the middle and introduced, "Dad, Mom, this is Tae Hee's dad."

Jin Yuwen was beaming with joy and took the initiative to shake hands and greet, "Hello, Professor Song, I often hear Song Yi talk about you and have admired you for a long time."

Song Mingzhe apologized, "My dear relatives, I have wanted to come visit you for a long time, but I have never been able to find the time. I am really sorry."

Jin Yuwen expressed his understanding that school leaders of Song Mingzhe's level need to report to their superiors if they want to go abroad.

Song Yi continued to introduce, "This is Taixi's mother." Song Mingzhe nodded and greeted, "Hello, mother-in-law."

After introducing Tae Hee's parents, Kim Hee Won and Kim Hyung Soo were next, "These two are Tae Hee's older sister Hee Won and younger brother Hyung Soo. Hee Won is the executive director of our company and has helped me a lot."

Jin Xiyuan, who was used to big scenes, was still a little reserved in front of Song Mingzhe, "Hello, uncle, I am Jin Xiyuan."

Song Mingzhe found that Kim Tae-hee and her sister looked quite similar. "Hello, Xiyuan."

Kim Hyung-soo was the last one to greet Song Mingzhe, "Hello, uncle. I am Kim Hyung-soo."

Song Mingzhe nodded, "Hello, Hengzhu. I heard that you just took the College Scholastic Ability Test this year. How did you do?"

Jin Yuwen answered helpfully, "He was admitted to Dongguk University, majoring in economics. Although he is not as good as his sister Tae Hee, he is still satisfactory."

Kim Hyung-soo joked, "Father, it's a blessing for a family to have a sister who is a top student at Seoul University. My sister and brother-in-law are both top students, and I'm just an ordinary person."

Song Mingzhe was somewhat envious of the intimacy between Jin Yuwen and Jin Hengzhu. Since Song Yi came to Korea to study, the opportunities for communication between father and son have become less and less.

As Song Yi's career became more and more successful, he was afraid that Song Yi would make mistakes, and he couldn't help but want to correct some of Song Yi's behaviors, which made the relationship between him and Song Yi more and more strained.

Except for Song Mingzhe and Jin Yuwen, everyone else has spent some time together in the United States and they are all very familiar with each other.

Kim Hee-won and Kim Tae-hee walked up to Zhou Shulan and surrounded her on the left and right. Kim Hee-won helped Zhou Shulan carry her bag, and Kim Tae-hee held Zhou Shulan's arm.

Mother Jin looked at her two daughters trying to please Zhou Shulan and couldn't help but feel sour, "These two girls, if you don't know them, you would think they are the two daughters of my mother-in-law."

Liao Yu smiled, "Auntie, my mother-in-law has always treated her daughter-in-law as her own daughter. Tae Hee and the others like her so much, doesn't it just show that they have a good relationship with her? When Hyung Soo gets married, you will also have such considerate service."

Mother Jin smiled and said, "Hyung Soo has just started college. It will take several more years for him to get married."

Liao Yu reminded Jin's mother to hurry up, "Marriage is a big deal. Since your family is so well-off, you should be more cautious. Nowadays, college girls mature very early and want to marry someone from a well-off family."

"I heard that Song Yi has been instrumental in bringing together many good marriages in the past two years. He has a wide network of contacts in Seoul, so you might as well ask him to help you keep an eye out for any good unmarried girls. You can meet each other first, date in college, get engaged, and then have the wedding right after graduation. You should know that the marriages of these wealthy ladies were all decided early in school," Liao Yu suggested.

When Jin's mother heard Liao Yu say this, her heart was instantly moved. Jin Yuwen was a wealthy man in Ulsan City. His social circle was limited to the area around Ulsan. She already knew all the girls of the same age as Jin Hengzhu in the circle of wealthy men in Ulsan.

If Tongyun Logistics' business remains limited to Ulsan City, then it would undoubtedly be the best choice for Kim Yu-moon to choose a person with good character and family background from among his business partners for marriage.

But now the situation is different. With the help of Sohan.com, Tongyun Logistics has expanded its logistics business to Pohang, Busan and Daegu, and has grown into a large logistics company ranked high in the region. Song Yi, the second son-in-law of the Kim family, has become the third richest man in South Korea. As Song Yi's brother-in-law, Kim Hyung-soo's marriage has more room for imagination.

Mother Jin hesitated. "Young people nowadays are not like before. They advocate freedom of love and hope to find a partner to date and get married. If Song Yi introduces a girl to Hyung Soo out of kindness, but Hyung Soo is not attracted to the girl and offends the girl's family, then it will not be worth it."

Liao Yu dispelled Jin's mother's concerns. "In fact, blind dates only provide a chance for men and women to get to know each other. Whether the two people can succeed depends on whether they are compatible with each other and whether their personalities are compatible. However, both families know each other well, and Hengzhu will not know ordinary girls who change their fate and cross classes through marriage. Even if Hengzhu looks down on others, others will not be angry. You can't expect success in one introduction. How can it be so coincidental?"

When Jin's mother heard Liao Yu say this, she patted the back of Liao Yu's hand and said, "You have considered it very carefully. I will discuss it with Hengzhu's father later."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Liao Yu stopped trying to persuade him. The reason she was concerned about Jin Hengzhu's marriage was also for Song Yi and Jin Xiyuan.

Song Yi is now married to Kim Tae Hee, the second daughter of the Kim family, and is also in a relationship with the eldest daughter, Kim Hee Won. If the relationship between Song Yi and Kim Hee Won were ever exposed, which parent would be able to accept it?

Liao Yu felt that it was not safe for Song Yi to use Tongyun Logistics as the logistics supplier of Sohan.com in Lingnan, South Korea. She also needed to add fuel to the fire to completely tie the Jin family to the New Asia system, and this fire was Jin Hengzhu's marriage.

If Song Yi facilitates a marriage between the Jin family and a local conglomerate in Seoul, then Jin Heung-soo's father-in-law's family will naturally be Song Yi's friends in the political and business circles. With this relationship, even if Tae Hee's parents eventually find out that their eldest daughter Jin Xiyuan is Song Yi's secret lover, they will eventually acquiesce to this relationship for the sake of power and wealth.

Kim Tae-hee and her sister accompanied Zhou Shulan, Song Mingzhe chatted with Kim Yu-wen and his son, Liao Yu and Kim's mother talked about Kim Hyun-soo's marriage, and Song Yi walked at the end holding Song Miao's hand.

Song Miao raised his cute little face and asked Song Yi, "Uncle, why did you quarrel with grandpa on the plane just now? Was it because you made grandpa angry?"

Song Yi noticed the worry in Song Miao's eyes. "It's like Miao Miao is doing a multiple-choice question. Grandpa chose A and uncle chose B. In fact, you can choose A or B for this question, but grandpa was very angry when he found out that uncle chose B."

Song Miao was a little confused for a moment, "Ah? Doesn't a multiple-choice question have only one correct answer? How can both A and B be correct?"

Song Yi smiled, "Miaomiao, the multiple-choice questions you are doing now are called single-choice questions, and there is only one correct answer. But when you learn more and more knowledge, you will understand that there are many choices in life, not just single-choice options. At that time, you will need to do a multiple-choice question, and it doesn't matter whether you choose A, B, or both."

Song Miao sighed, "You adults' world is so complicated. But since it's a multiple-choice question, why can't you choose A and B at the same time? Wouldn't grandpa be less angry this way? Grandma wants me to drink milk, and mom wants me to eat green peppers. I will never stop eating green peppers just because I drink milk. Mom said, don't let the people who love you down. Grandpa actually likes uncle very much. He will read the Twenty-Four Histories that you have read in the study when he has nothing to do, just because there are your annotations on the book."

Song Yi was touched at once. What Song Miao said was right. Although he did not have a deep relationship with his original parents, he could not deny that Song Mingzhe and his wife had greatly helped his career.

Without the support of Song Mingzhe and his wife, he would not have been able to buy a car or a house in South Korea. Without a house as collateral, he would not have been able to make his first pot of gold in the mainland B-share market.

Zhou Shulan is the only daughter of Zhou Zhengyong's youngest sister, and is a cousin of Zhou Mengjiu, Zhou Mengxian, and Zhou Mengzhun. If he didn't have this blood relationship, no matter how capable he was, he wouldn't be able to become a member of the modern family.

He can't pick up the bowl to eat meat and put down the chopsticks to curse his mother. Although Song Mingzhe is an idealist, he can achieve Song Mingzhe's goal in a roundabout way. Moreover, Song Mingzhe is still in his prime. If he can succeed Jin Nanxiong as the president of Bianzhou University before the age of 60, he will at least be a vice-ministerial leader. Having a nationally renowned scholar father like Song Mingzhe can also bring a lot of help to the mainland business of the New Asia Department.

When Song Yi and his group left the airport, Jin Yuwen told them about his plans, "Song Yi, your parents have come from afar, and as the host, I must entertain them well. I have reserved a private room at Eight Immortals, the Chinese restaurant at Shilla Hotel. You can leave after you put your luggage away."

Song Yi was a little surprised, "The Shilla Hotel opened a Chinese restaurant? How come I didn't know about it?"

Jin Xiyuan replied, "It's on the second floor of the Shilla Hotel. I heard that the chef was recruited from mainland China and is an excellent Cantonese chef. If it hadn't just opened, it would have been awarded a Michelin star long ago."

Song Yi was not very willing to go to Shilla Hotel with the whole family for dinner. It would not be a big deal if Song Mingzhe and his wife met Chen Fuzhen at Shilla Hotel, but it would be a big trouble if they met Chen Yuanzhong.

According to Chen Fuzhen, his son Chen Yuanzhong inherited the good looks of Song Yi and Chen Fuzhen. He was not sure whether Zhou Shulan could recognize Chen Yuanzhong as the eldest grandson of the Song family after seeing him.

Song Mingzhe felt even more embarrassed. "My dear relatives, it should be our man's parents who should treat you to a meal. How can we let you spend so much money?"

Mother Jin said, "Xiyuan and her sister ate a lot of meals cooked by our mother-in-law when they were in Seoul last year, and they praised her cooking skills. I am not a good cook, and I am afraid of neglecting you, so Yuwen specially booked this Chinese restaurant. I don't know if it suits your taste."

Things had developed to this point, and it was definitely impossible to refuse. Song Yi asked the driver to send everyone's luggage back to the Chengbeidong villa, and the group drove to the Shilla Hotel.

When the motorcade passed by the New Asia Group Building, Jin Xiyuan pointed it out to Zhou Shulan and said, "Look, Auntie, this is our company's new headquarters building. We are mainly working here now, but we also have another building in Gangnam District."

Zhou Shulan looked at the magnificent building and felt particularly proud. "How many floors does such a tall building have?"

Kim Hee-won said: "There are 17 floors above ground and 5 floors underground, a total of 22 floors. Our company spent 120.4 billion won to buy this building. This building used to be the headquarters building of Daewoo Group."

Song Mingzhe also saw this building. When he learned that New Asia Media Real Estate Group bought the former headquarters building of Daewoo Group for RMB 720 million, he had a more intuitive understanding of New Asia's strength in South Korea.

Song Mingzhe felt that he needed to use these few days to get to know the New Asia system and get in touch with Song Yi's friends in the political and business circles. He wanted to hear what Song Yi's friends had to say about him. He had placed too many expectations on Song Yi, his only living son, and inevitably had too many prejudices.

Song Yi has never mentioned the specific process of his entrepreneurship in South Korea. From an ordinary worker, he became one of the top three super-rich people in South Korea in just a few years. Naturally, there are hardships that outsiders do not know.

When Song Yi and his party arrived at the Shilla Hotel, Chen Fuzhen, who had received the news, came out to entertain Song Yi and his party.

As soon as Chen Fuzhen opened his mouth, Song Yi noticed that Kim Tae-hee, Kim Hee-won and Liao Yu were all focusing their eyes on him, waiting for him to speak.

"President Chen, it's Taixi's father who's treating us today, so of course I can't take over the responsibility. Please say hello to the chef of the Eight Immortals and ask them to cook with more care to support my father-in-law." Song Yi said.

Chen Fuzhen snorted inwardly, and the smile on his face became wider. "Don't worry about this. The chefs of our Eight Immortals Restaurant have always been very focused on maintaining a high level of cooking standards and will not cook dishes based on appearance. Please rest assured, President Song."

After finishing speaking, Chen Fuzhen looked at Song Mingzhe and his wife and Liao Yu, "I guess these people are the distinguished guests that President Jin is going to entertain today. President Song, can't you introduce them to me?"

Song Yi was a little helpless. Since Chen Fuzhen could "accidentally meet" Song Miao at Samsung Everland, he didn't believe that Chen Fuzhen didn't know his parents and Liao Yu.

"They are my parents. This is my sister-in-law. She is also the general manager of New Asia Advertising's Yanjing branch. Dad, Mom, sister-in-law, this is Chen Fuzhen, the president of Shilla Hotel." Song Yi introduced them to each other.

"Hello, uncle and aunt. I am Chen Fuzhen, and I am also a shareholder of Xinya Media Real Estate Group. I am a good business partner with Chairman Song, and I am also a good friend with Tae Hee."

Chen Fuzhen bent down and touched Song Miao's little face. "I remember you. You are Miaomiao, right? Do you still remember me?"

Song Miao obviously remembered this beautiful aunt with a cold look. "I remember you were Aunt Fuzhen, and you bought me ice cream. By the way, Aunt Fuzhen, why didn't I see your baby today?"

Song Yi's heart skipped a beat, and Kim Tae Hee looked at Song Yi and Chen Fuzhen suspiciously. Chen Fuzhen looked calm, "You mean Yuanzhong's brother? He's asleep now. Next time you have a chance, you can bring him to play together, okay?"

After Chen Fuzhen and Song Miao finished their interaction, she stood up again and took the initiative to shake hands with Liao Yu. "Mr. Liao, I have heard of your name for a long time. I heard that Mr. Liao is Chairman Song's number one right-hand man in the mainland. When I saw him today, he is indeed very charming."

Liao Yu guessed something, and she responded appropriately, "President Chen, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me Liao Yu."

After Chen Fuzhen and Liao Yu finished greeting each other, Chen Fuzhen finally greeted Jin Yuwen and his wife, "Uncle and aunt, Tae Hee and I are also good friends. Thank you for coming to the Shilla Hotel for dinner. The chef of Baxian is adjusting the menu according to Korean tastes, in addition to the dinner you booked today. The chefs will also prepare two extra special dishes. Please help us taste them and give us some suggestions so that we can improve them later." Chen Fuzhen spoke very tactfully.

Jin Yuwen was a little flattered, "How can I feel embarrassed!" He thought Chen Fuzhen was making him look good for the sake of Song Yi and Jin Tae-hee.

Song Yi felt amused. He knew that Chen Fuzhen was showing courtesy to Jin Yuwen on the surface, but in fact she wanted to please her parents-in-law. Chen Fuzhen's behavior was really like that of a lady.

Chen Fuzhen replied with a smile, "Everyone knows that Miss Tae Hee is the most popular actress in Korea. "Dae Jang Geum" has been dominating the screen. Celebrities like Miss Tae Hee visiting our Shilla Hotel will also bring popularity to our hotel."

"Our Shilla Hotel is also one of the first five-star hotels to cooperate with SouHan.com. After SouHan.com is officially launched, you can book the hotel's room service, restaurant, bar and spa through SouHan.com. If possible, I would like to ask Miss Tae Hee to be the spokesperson for our Shilla Hotel." Chen Fuzhen said very tactfully.

Kim Tae-hee knew that Chen Fuzhen was just saying it for show. After all, the advertising contract between Shilla Hotel and its previous spokesperson Lee Young-ae had not expired yet.

"Really? If President Chen said so, then I will take it seriously. Xiyuan, please make an appointment with President Chen in a few days to discuss the business cooperation of Taehee endorsing Shilla Hotel." Song Yi said.

Jin Xiyuan secretly laughed in her heart. It turned out that Song Yi still couldn't change his habit of bullying Chen Fuzhen. "I understand, but I don't know if President Chen has time these two days."

Chen Fuzhen's face froze. She was just being polite, but Song Yi was taking advantage of her to climb up the ladder. Song Yi, you want me to support a woman for you? You're dreaming! Whether it was Samsung Everland or Shilla Hotel, Chen Fuzhen had never used Xinya's contracted artists.

She didn't want to lose face in front of Song Yi's parents. "Although I'm busy with work these days, it's no problem for me to spare some time. We can call each other in advance. I wish you a pleasant meal. I won't bother you any more."

The Cantonese cuisine at Eight Immortals Restaurant is delicious, and the shark fin soup and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall are very authentic. Even the A-Yi dried abalone is very tasty, slow-cooked, with multiple layers of seafood, ham, etc. all displayed in this dish. It is said that the chef of the restaurant has learned the true art of A-Yi abalone.

Song Miao couldn't taste the rich flavor, but the child's evaluation was the most pertinent. She took a bite and said, "Wow, it's delicious!" Her words made everyone at the table laugh.

Song Mingzhe took a look at the restaurant's dining environment and today's menu. A meal for these 10 people would cost at least 70,000 to 80,000 RMB. Song Mingzhe was already having a headache about how to treat Jin Yuwen's family.

When Jin Yuwen went to pay the bill, he found out that Chen Fuzhen had asked the restaurant to give Jin Yuwen and his party a 30% discount and waived the service fee. This saved Jin Yuwen 500,000 or 600,000 won, and Jin Yuwen couldn't help but sigh that Chen Fuzhen knew how to behave.

When Jin Yuwen wanted to thank Chen Fuzhen, he noticed that Chen Fuzhen was chatting with her mother-in-law Zhou Shulan, and there was a baby carriage next to Chen Fuzhen. Song Miao was making faces at Chen Yuanzhong in the baby carriage, making Chen Yuanzhong, who had just woken up, giggle.

Song Yi didn't expect that Chen Fuzhen actually brought Chen Yuanzhong from home to Shilla Hotel. Chen Fuzhen obviously created this encounter on purpose, just to let Chen Yuanzhong meet his grandparents and his cruel father. After all, since Chen Yuanzhong was born, Song Yi has never met Chen Yuanzhong except for the photos provided by Chen Fuzhen.

Zhou Shulan really likes children. She looked at Chen Yuanzhong in the cradle and said, "President Chen's baby has delicate features. He will definitely be a handsome boy when he grows up."

Chen Fuzhen smiled and said, "Really? Thank you for your kind words! But for a family like ours, appearance is not important. The main thing is whether he can keep his parents' inheritance."

Zhou Shulan nodded, "President Chen is right. Children should be taught from a young age. They should not be spoiled. They should be brought up strictly. We in China say that loving mothers often spoil their children. This is the reason."

Chen Fuzhen praised Zhou Shulan, "I think what my aunt said is wrong. You are so kind and easy to get along with. You are definitely a loving mother, but you have raised such an outstanding son like Chairman Song. Sometimes, I really want to learn from you."

Zhou Shulan couldn't help but smile, "No, no, no, Song Yi is a child who relies on his own consciousness. We parents didn't help him at all. After all, we are from ordinary families. You don't forget to bring your baby with you when you work. I believe that President Chen must be a good mother."

Chen Fuzhen was a little shy. "The main reason is that the baby has not been weaned yet, so he can't leave me alone. The doctor said that it is best to wean the baby when he is one to one and a half years old, so I will ask the nanny to bring the baby with me when I am working."

Zhou Shulan had never seen Chen Fuzhen's arrogant side. She only felt that the beautiful president of Shilla Hotel was kind, polite and made people feel warm and relaxed. She obviously had a good impression of Chen Fuzhen.

"What the doctor said is right, but you are a little thin. You still need to try to regulate your body. You can cook some crucian carp and tofu soup, or kidney bean and pig's trotter soup to replenish yourself to avoid insufficient milk. We Chinese medicine practitioners emphasize using food to regulate the body. You might as well find a Chinese medicine practitioner to prescribe a prescription." Zhou Shulan said.

"Thank you, auntie. I will find a Chinese doctor to see me." Chen Fuzhen thanked sincerely.

Jin Yuwen also came over to thank Chen Fuzhen at this time. Chen Fuzhen responded modestly, "Tae Hee and Chairman Song are both my good friends. Eight Immortals is a partner restaurant of Shilla Hotel. I can only give a 30% discount at most. Please forgive me, Chairman Jin."

Seeing that Jin Yuwen and the others had paid the bill, Zhou Shulan prepared to leave, "Miaomiao, play with your brother next time. We are going back now."

Song Miao was reluctant to leave, so she bowed politely to Chen Fuzhen, "Aunt Fuzhen, brother, bye!" Chen Fuzhen rubbed Song Miao's little head lovingly, "Good boy, Miaomiao, bye!"

Song Yi stood not far away and watched Zhou Shulan and Chen Fuzhen talking happily. He didn't even dare to get closer, for fear that Zhou Shulan would think of him when she saw Chen Yuanzhong's face.

When he saw Zhou Shulan taking Song Miao away, he breathed a sigh of relief. He walked up to Chen Fuzhen and lowered his voice, "Fuzhen, what do you want to do?"

Chen Fuzhen glanced at Song Yi jokingly, "I don't want to do anything, what can I do? Does someone still not trust me?"

"My aunt said I was a little thin, so she asked me to stew some crucian carp and tofu soup and kidney bean and hoof soup to nourish my body, otherwise I might not have enough milk. What do you think? If someone knew that someone and his son were fighting for food, causing his son to have insufficient milk, and if the child's grandmother knew the truth, would she break the child's father's leg?" Chen Fuzhen asked cunningly.

Song Yi was suddenly embarrassed. "I know you want to gain some degree of recognition from my parents, but now is not the right time. When the time is right, I will disclose Yuan Zhong's identity to them."

"President Song, please don't be so self-indulgent. Chen Yuanzhong is my, Chen Fuzhen's son. He will naturally inherit my business in the future and he does not need to obtain the recognition of the Song family. Don't expect him to return to his roots just because you are the third richest man in South Korea. It's impossible. And according to your romantic nature, Chen Yuanzhong may have more than a dozen brothers and sisters in the future. Even if the property is divided among him, how much can he get? I just hope that Yuanzhong can get along with Miaomiao. After all, he seems to really like his sister." Chen Fuzhen said sarcastically with a cold tone.

Song Yi knew that the harmonious scene between the Song and Jin families tonight had irritated Chen Fuzhen. She had given birth to Song Yi's eldest son, but she could not show up in front of Song Yi's parents. That was why Chen Fuzhen brought Chen Yuanzhong to demonstrate in front of Zhou Shulan.

"I was wrong. My father is a university professor and he's a serious person. He may not be able to accept that I have an illegitimate child outside. But my mother is more open-minded. I will tell her the truth when I find a suitable opportunity." Song Yi said in a low voice.

"It's not you men who are at a disadvantage, so as a grandmother, of course it doesn't matter. Imagine that you have a daughter in the future, and your lovely daughter gives birth to an illegitimate child outside--" Chen Fuzhen hadn't finished his words yet.

"If she dares, I will break that man's legs." When Song Yi met Chen Fuzhen's mocking eyes, his attitude softened at once. "This matter is my fault. I have seen so many of you dominating the business world that I almost forgot that you are also a mother who needs help. I will send them home first and come back to see you later."

Chen Fuzhen raised her eyebrows, "Oh? President Song came back to help me, or to sleep with me? Or did you help me just to sleep with me?"

Song Yi suddenly felt that the current situation was a bit tricky. Chen Fuzhen had a vague intention of forcing the emperor to abdicate.  Thanks to Lemonade is Real Water for the reward! Thank you for your monthly tickets. See you tomorrow.
