Song Yi first asked Song Miao, "Miao Miao, are Aunt Zhiyi and Aunt Jingyan up yet?" When others came to visit his home, it was a bit impolite for him, as the host, to get up later than the guests.
Song Miao made a face at Song Yi, "They are all up, mom is up too, only uncle is a big lazy bug who likes to sleep in."
"Okay, I'll get up right away. Tell grandma to leave a bowl of tofu pudding for me," said Song Yi.
When Song Yi sat down at the dining table, he found that Zhou Zhiyi and Liao Yu were both in high spirits, while Song Jingyan looked a little sleepy.
Song Yi felt a little strange. Liao Yu stayed in the study until two or three o'clock last night before going back. Song Jingyan went to bed early. Liao Yu, who had been nourished, looked more and more beautiful. Why did Song Jingyan look so sleepy?
Zhou Zhiyi often went to Song Yi's house for dinner when he was in Seoul. In addition, he had worked in China for a period of time and had long been accustomed to Chinese breakfast.
She stared at Song Jingyan curiously, "Jingyan, you didn't steal last night, did you? Why are you yawning so early in the morning?"
Song Jingyan thought about the conversation between Song Yi and Liao Yu that she eavesdropped on outside the study door yesterday. She felt weak in her heart and almost choked.
Zhou Shulan quickly patted Song Jingyan's back and said, "Eat slowly, don't choke."
Song Yi and Liao Yu looked at each other, and then looked at Song Jingyan. Song Jingyan noticed Liao Yu's eyes and felt even more nervous. She kept eating noodles with her head down.
Zhou Shulan mistakenly thought that Song Jingyan really liked the mixed noodles she made, and her smile became even wider. "Jingyan, noodles alone are a bit dry, so drink some tofu pudding to moisten your throat first."
Song Jingyan quickly finished her noodles, then drank the tofu pudding in one breath, and said to Zhou Shulan, "Auntie Zhou, I'm done. I'm going to take a walk outside to help digest the food."
Song Yi glanced at Liao Yu, who understood what he meant and immediately took Song Jingyan's hand enthusiastically, "Jingyan, Lijing Garden is quite big, and the villas look similar in appearance. Don't get lost accidentally. I'll accompany you for a walk."
Song Jingyan couldn't find an excuse to refuse Liao Yu, so she had to go out for a walk with Liao Yu. Zhou Zhiyi didn't notice the little secret between Liao Yu and Song Jingyan, "Sister Yu is really a good person, no matter how she behaves or how she does things, you can't find fault with her."
Zhou Shulan was very happy to hear Zhou Zhiyi praising Liao Yu. "Although Xiaoyu is my daughter-in-law, she is more considerate than many daughters. She takes care of us in every possible way. She accompanies us to the hospital when we have a headache or a fever. If Xiaoyu hadn't taken good care of us in the mainland, Xiaoyi wouldn't have been able to work hard on his career in Korea."
Zhou Zhiyi's husband Gu Guangmo is the adopted son of LG Chairman Gu Bonsheng, which means Zhou Zhiyi has two mothers-in-law, one is Gu Bonsheng's wife, and the other is Gu Guangmo's biological mother. Both mothers-in-law are not easy to deal with. In comparison, Zhou Zhiyi certainly envies Zhou Shulan and Liao Yu's close mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.
"Sister Yu is now managing the listed company Xinya Advertising by herself. She can take good care of her parents-in-law and her children, and has brought up Miaomiao so well. She is a superhero who can balance work and family."
"Since I joined the SA board of directors, my work has been a lot busier than before. When I get home, my daughter is a little shy. I played with her for a long time before she dared to say to me, "Mom, hug me." Zhou Zhiyi really admires Liao Yu.
"Xiaoyu used to work in the Tobacco Bureau. Later, in order for Miaomiao to receive a better education, our family moved from Yeji to Yanjing. Xiaoyu couldn't bear to see Song Yi always running between Seoul and Yanjing, which was too hard, so she went to Xinya Advertising to help. Who knew that after helping for a while, Song Yi handed the company to Xiaoyu with full responsibility. Your uncle and I don't understand how to run a company, so we can only let Xiaoyu help Song Yi more. Fortunately, Miaomiao is very sensible and doesn't cause us too much worry." Zhou Shulan said with emotion.
Liao Yu and Song Jingyan were walking in the villa area, and Liao Yu met Gong Li halfway. Gong Li's eyes lit up when she saw Liao Yu, and she immediately came forward to say hello.
Xinya Advertising also has a film and television company under its umbrella. It signed a contract with director Ning Hao to shoot a low-budget comedy "Crazy Stone" this year. The film has been screened on a small scale in HugeDream Cinemas and has been well received by the audience. Xinya Culture Media Co., Ltd. also signed Huang Bo, an actor in the film.
Although Gong Li has rarely made movies in recent years, she still starred in the movie "Curse of the Golden Flower" directed by Zhang Yimou this year. Gong Li played the forbearing and generous queen in the film.
As an actress, Gong Li has reached the pinnacle of Chinese actresses. In 2000, she was invited to serve as the president of the main competition jury of the Berlin Film Festival, and in 2002 she served as the president of the main competition jury of the Venice Film Festival.
In the past two years, Gong Li has also tried to enter the North American market, starring in "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Miami Vice" in succession.
Gong Li certainly looked down on the low-budget comedy film "Crazy Stone". The reason why she treated Liao Yu with courtesy was mainly because of Song Yi.
Liao Yu actually wanted to chat with Song Jingyan alone for a while, but since he met Gong Li, he felt embarrassed to leave Gong Li aside, so Liao Yu introduced Gong Li to Song Jingyan.
Gong Li saw that Song Jingyan had a good temperament and knew that she was not from an ordinary family. Gong Li joked, "I heard that Manager Song also had the last name Song, and I thought she was Chairman Song's sister."
Liao Yu smiled faintly, "Our family and Jingyan's family often visit each other, and the two families have always been good friends. Although Jingyan is not Song Yi's biological sister, I usually treat her as a sister."
Gong Li's heart moved, "Could it be that President Song also returned to Yanjing yesterday? In 2003, I served as the chairman of the main competition jury of the Tokyo Film Festival. President Song brought the main creative team of "If Love Has Destiny" to Tokyo to participate in the exhibition. I remember that the leading actress of the movie was Miss Son Ye-jin. President Song and Son Ye-jin stood together at the time. It can be said that they were a perfect match. At that time, I thought Miss Son Ye-jin was President Song's girlfriend. Later, I found out that Miss Kim Tae-hee of "Dae Jang Geum" was President Song's girlfriend. It almost caused a misunderstanding."
Liao Yu didn't know that Gong Li and Song Yi had actually met before. "Song Yi came back last night. When he's free in the afternoon, we'll go to Sister Gong's house as a guest."
Gong Li was very happy to see Liao Yu giving her face. "Don't be so polite. I should be the one visiting Chairman Song. It just so happens that my French friend gave me two bottles of top-quality Bertus. I'm offering them as a gift. Chairman Song and General Manager Liao can use them to entertain distinguished guests like Manager Song. Then you two go ahead and get busy. I'll contact you later."
After Gong Li walked back to the villa, Song Jingyan commented on Gong Li, "All the actresses who can become international film queens in the entertainment industry are smart people."
"Who says he isn't? Song Yi attended some entertainment industry events two years ago, but he has completely faded out of the entertainment industry in the past two years. Those actresses have been trying various ways to stuff their business cards into Song Yi's hands, and some of them are well-known actresses."
"Small actors want to become big actors, big actors want to become first-line actors, first-line actors want to win awards, and award-winning actors want to enter Hollywood. Everyone wants to copy Jun Ji-hyun's path to success. The entertainment industry is a world of fame and fortune. They would rather take off their clothes than study the script. This year, many coal bosses in the mainland have begun to invest in movies. They don't have any requirements. They just say, I want so-and-so to star in this movie." Liao Yu said.
Song Jingyan agrees with this. In addition to the entertainment industry, the financial industry is also full of chaos and power-for-sex transactions. Private equity funds like to recruit young, beautiful and well-educated women. Work experience is not important, as long as they can please investors, so many funds managed by celebrity fund managers frequently go bankrupt.
"Studying the script is a tough job, so it's more convenient to take off your clothes. Maybe if you take them off, you can get the job tomorrow. Even if you're rejected, it doesn't matter, there are many producers and directors in the entertainment industry who like this," Song Jingyan concluded.
"My advice is to not take them off. It's easy for actresses in the entertainment industry to take off their clothes, but it's very difficult to put them back on piece by piece. Fans look at their favorite actresses through a filter, thinking they are flawless and won't tolerate slander from others. Only people in our circle know their true faces in private."
"Just like Song Yi, even though he is now the richest man in South Korea, maybe in another three to five years, he will surpass Lee Cha-man and become the richest man in Asia. But as his family member, I can feel how much injustice my sister-in-law Kim Tae-hee has suffered in this marriage. If I were in Tae-hee's position, I would definitely not want to marry Song Yi." Liao Yu told the truth.
Seeing that Song Jingyan understood, Liao Yu smiled with relief, "Before I married Song Yi's brother Song Bo, I had a childhood sweetheart. We have a good relationship and we have some feelings for each other."
"But his family was not well off. After graduating from high school, he went to Pengcheng to do business. He made some money by selling mobile phones and accessories wholesale at Huaqiang Electronic World. He wrote me some letters at first, but later the letters became less and less."
"My family introduced me to Song Yi's brother Song Bo at that time. I was actually quite resistant to blind dates at first. But Song Bo has a very good personality, so later on, Song Bo and I got married, and we had Miaomiao."
"Later, Song Bo died in the line of duty. My parents-in-law actually kept persuading me to find another one. They would accept whether Miaomiao took her away or stayed in the Song family. My childhood friend heard about it and found me again, wanting to marry me. He said that he had missed me once because of his cowardice and inferiority complex, and he didn't want to miss me again."
"At the beginning, I was quite touched. After all, we have known each other for such a long time and there is still some emotional foundation. But he said something later that made me feel uncomfortable. He said that he is now worth millions and has bought a house and a car in Pengcheng. He hopes that I will give him a son to carry on the family line. He has already convinced his parents, so it is no problem to take Miaomiao with him. After all, Miaomiao is a daughter and will get married sooner or later."
"It was then that I realized that my precious daughter was actually just a burden in the eyes of others. He was willing to accept my daughter because of my face. So I rejected him without hesitation, gave up my job at the Tobacco Bureau, and joined New Asia Advertising. Then, together with Song Yi, New Asia Advertising was listed on the Hong Kong stock market."
"After experiencing this incident, I realized that a woman must have her own career. A sense of security is given by oneself, not by others. The reason why I tell you so much is just to tell you that if you miss someone, you miss them, and there is nothing to regret. The most important thing is to cherish the person in front of you and live well in the present." Liao Yu advised earnestly.
When Liao Yu and Song Jingyan were talking, Song Yi suddenly received a call from Chen Xinyu, who sounded very anxious.
"President, are you still in the mainland?" Chen Xinyu asked.
"I'm in Yanjing, Xinyu, what's wrong?" Song Yi asked.
Chen Xinyu lowered her voice and asked, "President, is there anyone else next to you?"
Song Yi took a look and saw that there was only the golden retriever Pipi, who Song Miao had raised since childhood, in the study room. The dog probably couldn't understand what he said, "No one is here. What's wrong? Just tell me if you have something to say."
"President, my father seems to know about your relationship with unnie. He is very angry and has confined my sister to house arrest, not allowing her to leave the house. Not only that, my father also dismissed my sister from the position of president of Shilla Hotel in the name of the chairman of Samsung. My father asked my sister to cut off all ties with you and never have any contact with you again, but my sister refused to agree. My father said he would take back the stocks he gave to my sister, but my sister was unwilling to compromise." Song Yi was shocked by Chen Xinyu's words.
Did Chen Jianxi know about the relationship between Song Yi and Chen Fuzhen? Chen Fuzhen usually contacts Song Yi through a backup mobile phone and email. The backup mobile phone uses a phone card provided by SA Telecom to prevent being monitored.
Neither Song Yi nor Chen Fuzhen had this number saved in their mobile phone address books, just to make it easier to contact and know the latest news about their son Chen Yuanzhong.
If Chen Jianxi knew that his eldest daughter Chen Fuzhen was Song Yi's lover, would Chen Jianxi suspect that Chen Yuanzhong was the child of Chen Fuzhen and Song Yi?
Chen Fuzhen's ex-husband You Zaizhi had previously complained to Chen Jianxi and his wife, saying that Chen Fuzhen's son Chen Yuanzhong was not his, but was born to Chen Fuzhen and her lover. Later, in order to conceal the truth, Chen Fuzhen obtained hair from Song Yi and then forged the DNA paternity test results to deceive You Zaizhi and Chen Jianxi.
Now that Chen Jianxi has noticed that Song Yi and Chen Fuzhen are lovers, it is normal for him to become suspicious of Chen Yuanzhong's background again.
However, You Zaizhi had disappeared in northern Myanmar long ago, without even a body left. It was impossible for Chen Jianxi to ask Chen Yuanzhong and You Zaizhi to do a paternity test again.
Song Yi made a prompt decision, "Xinyu, find a way to inform Fuzhen. I will return to Seoul immediately. I will go to visit Chairman Chen Jianxi with Mark Soster, the president of Blue Ocean Capital Fund. Blue Ocean Capital Fund is an important shareholder of Shilla Hotel. Chairman Chen Jianxi dismissed Chen Fuzhen from the position of president of Shilla Hotel for no reason, which had a very bad impact on the operation of Shilla Hotel. I need Chairman Chen Jianxi to give an explanation to the American investors."
When Chen Xinyu heard that Song Yi was going back to Seoul, she felt relieved. It seemed that Song Yi was indeed a responsible man. When his sister Chen Fuzhen encountered problems, he really helped her.
"President, my father wants to break your legs right now. Aren't you afraid of my father's revenge if you come to visit me directly?" Chen Xinyu was a little worried.
Song Yi heard Chen Xinyu's concern and said, "You have some truth in what you said. After all, if I go to your house and ask President Chen to release the person, President Chen may not give me the face."
"How about this, how about you come to the mainland on a business trip and participate in the optimization of the Super OS system. I will hold Chairman Chen's most beloved youngest daughter hostage in the mainland. Chairman Chen should not dare to attack me, right?" Song Yi joked.
"Song Yi, it's already this late and you still have the mind to joke with me! I asked you to make sufficient preparations before coming to my house. If my sister leaves Samsung, I will have to go back to work at Samsung Network." Chen Xinyu's words were a little disappointed.
"Don't worry, I never fight a battle without preparation. As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. No matter how unhappy President Chen is, he must entertain me well. This is the Oriental way of hospitality."
"If Chen Jianxi doesn't want to acknowledge Chen Fuzhen as his daughter, I can let her come to the mainland to work and be responsible for SA Group's cultural tourism and real estate projects."
"Who said that if Chen Fuzhen leaves Samsung, you have to go back to work at Samsung Network? Hasn't Chen Jae-yong always been worried that you two sisters will threaten his position as the third-generation heir to Samsung? If you and Fuzhen no longer work at Samsung, then won't his position as heir be as stable as a rock?" Song Yi said.
Liao Yu and Song Jingyan came back from a walk together, and Liao Yu found Song Yi frowning and thinking about something. "What's wrong? Did you run into any trouble?"
Song Yi did not hide it from Liao Yu, "Chen Jianxi discovered my relationship with Chen Fuzhen, and removed Chen Fuzhen from her position as the president of Shilla Hotel. He also locked her up at home and did not allow her to go out. He even took away her cell phone. After Chen Xinyu learned the news, she tipped me off, hoping that I could rescue her sister."
Liao Yu also felt that it was very difficult to hear. Although Samsung and SA were not hostile, the relationship between the two groups was not harmonious. Chen Jianxi's title of the richest man in South Korea, which he had held for many years, was taken away by Song Yi. It would be strange if Chen Jianxi felt comfortable.
Chen Fuzhen and You Zaishi have divorced, so it is normal for Chen Fuzhen to find a lover. However, Chen Jianxi can accept Chen Fuzhen being with any Korean man, but he cannot accept Song Yi.
"After all, Chen Fuzhen is Chen Jianxi's eldest daughter. Although she has been placed under house arrest, at least her life is not in danger. But Yuanzhong is our Song family's child. You have to find a way to bring both Chen Fuzhen and her son out." Liao Yu said.
Thank you all for your monthly tickets. How do you think Chen Jianxi discovered the relationship between Song Yi and Chen Fuzhen?
