Chapter 65 Zheng Enxuan's Choice



Before leaving the hospital, Song Yuxi patted Song Yi on the shoulder and said, "Song Yi, if you have time in the next two days, remember to come to our house for dinner. Your aunt has learned how to make sweet and sour pork, and she wants you to come over and try it."

"Okay, Uncle Song." Song Yi didn't take Song Yuxi's closeness seriously. Obviously, Song Yi has become the key to the communication between the modern family and Song Yuxi.

The three Zhou Mengjiu brothers and Song Yuxi do not trust each other enough, so Song Yi is needed to mediate.

Song Woo-seok is worried that the Hyundai family will not use their political resources to support his candidacy for president, and the Hyundai family is also worried that Song Woo-seok will go back on his word after being elected president.

This is why Song Yuxi patted Song Yi on the shoulder before leaving and wanted to chat with him alone.

After Song Yuxi left, Zhou Mengxian reminded Song Yi, "Song Yuxi used to be a sincere gentleman who would express his thoughts directly, but he has changed a lot in the past two years."

"If in a few days, after the media exposes the political donation case, Song Yuxi is still willing to take the political risk to maintain contact with our family, then he is trustworthy and Eshan Group can fully support him in his presidential election. If he avoids us like other politicians, then you must remember to keep your distance from him," said Zhou Mengxian.

If Zhou Mengxian's political donation case is exposed, no matter who leaked this shocking news to Alibaba, the current President Zhong Xiaotong will face a crisis of trust from the people, and in serious cases he may even be impeached by Congress.

By then, Zhong Xiaotong will naturally have a bad impression of the Modern Family. Song Yuxi is willing to continue to maintain contact with the Eshan Group at the risk of offending his immediate superior, so Zhou Mengxian is of course willing to continue betting on him.

On the other hand, if Song Yuxi is just an ordinary politician who seeks good fortune and avoids danger, Zhou Mengxian certainly does not want to be tied to his boat. If Song Yuxi is not careful, he may use Eshan Group as a scapegoat and bring disaster to the company.

Song Yi nodded, "Uncle Mengxian, don't worry, I know what I am doing. I will work with Aunt Enxuan to protect the Eshan Group."

"Didn't Zhiyi graduate from Seoul University? She can be assigned to Asan Merchant Marine as a financial manager. Now is an extraordinary period, there is no need to be too conservative." Zhou Zhiyi is the eldest daughter of Zhou Mengxian and Zheng Enxuan, one year younger than Song Yi.

Zhou Mengxian said, "I'll consider it. Go back to the company and see Enxuan later, discuss it with her and ask for her opinion."

Zhou Mengxian has two daughters and one son, and the youngest son is only 16 years old this year. Zhou Zhengyong's family tradition is to pass on the family name to sons rather than daughters. Zheng Enxuan's succession to the position of chairman of Eshan Group has already made an exception. If Zhou Zhiyi is allowed to join Eshan Group as a senior executive, the modern family will also worry that the family business left by Zhou Zhengyong will flow into the hands of other surnames.

Song Yi said hello to Li Bingkui and drove back to Xinya Entertainment. When Eshan Group confirmed the headquarters office building, Eshan Group would reserve a separate office for Li Bingkui.

When Song Yi returned to the company, Zheng Enxuan and Jin Xiyuan had a good chat. Zheng Enxuan couldn't help but praise Song Yi when she saw him, "President Song has found a good helper. Director Jin has managed New Asia Entertainment in an orderly manner."

Song Yi smiled widely, "Aunt Enxuan is reminding me to give her a raise. Xiyuan is indeed very capable."

Song Yi said to Zheng Enxuan, "I proposed to Uncle Meng Xian in the hospital that Zhiyi join the Finance Department of Eshan Merchant Marine as the Financial Manager. He asked me to come and discuss it with you."

Zheng Enxuan certainly hopes that her eldest daughter will join Eshan Group to help her share some of the pressure, but she is also worried that she will encounter resistance from the family.

"Aunt Eun-sun is the first female leader of a large company in South Korea. The Korean Women's Group Agreement will regard you as a role model. We must break free from the shackles of tradition and recruit talents without any restrictions. Only then can Asan Group compete with other large companies and ultimately win. The key to competition in the 21st century is still the competition for talent!" Song Yi said with great force.

Zheng Enxuan asked Song Yi, "I heard that you recommended me to Meng Xian to be the chairman of Eshan Group. You have never met me before, but you believe in my ability? Or do you want to recommend a business leader with average ability so that I can rely more on your ability and it will be easier for you to control behind the scenes?"

Song Yi smiled, "Aunt Enxuan attended Gyeonggi Girls' High School, completed undergraduate and graduate studies in sociology at Ewha Womans University, and then went to the graduate school of Fairleigh Dickinson University in the United States for further studies."

"Even though Aunt is married and has children, she still remembers to go to the United States for further studies. Does she really plan to be a housewife for the rest of her life?" Song Yi asked back.

"Uncle Mengxian has a blind trust in Chairman Zhou. He never questions the decisions made by the Chairman and always carries them out to the end. He is an excellent second-in-command, but not an excellent first-in-command."

"Aunt is different. You look weak, but you are strong inside. When faced with external challenges, you react quickly, have strong judgment, and make decisive decisions."

"On the surface, you are in charge of Eshan Group on behalf of Uncle Meng Xian. As long as your ability can be recognized by the Eshan Board of Directors, even if Uncle Meng Xian makes a comeback, he will not be able to shake your position as chairman." Song Yi hinted.

Zheng Enxuan understood Song Yi's hint. She certainly didn't want to be a nominal president, and even less wanted to be a puppet of the modern family. Zheng Enxuan lamented Song Yi's ambition, but Song Yi's words also made her see another possibility, which made her heart beat.

Zheng Enxuan remained calm and patted the back of Song Yi's hand. "Xiaoyi, Zhiyi is still young, and I have no experience in running a business. If I did anything wrong, you might as well give me some advice. We are a family and we don't have any differences."

Seeing that Zheng Enxuan understood, Song Yi changed his address and said, "Chairman. Uncle Mengxian's affairs will sooner or later cause problems. I suggest you go back and discuss with him and ask him to transfer the shares of Eshan Group to you and Zhiyi."

"In this way, even if Uncle Meng Xian really accepts the investigation by the prosecutors, we can also issue a company announcement to tell the media that Uncle Meng Xian does not hold any shares in Eshan Group, nor does he work for Eshan Group. The political donation case he was involved in has nothing to do with the newly established Eshan Group, and will not have any impact on the operations of Eshan Group."

"And the chairman can also promise the media that Eshan Group will never send even a dollar of funds to the North again, and shelve the Kaesong Industrial Park and Mount Kumgang tourism plans. These two projects will be redeveloped when the time is right," said Song Yi.

Zheng Enxuan's actions undoubtedly meant the demolition of the house. Zheng Enxuan took over Eshan Group from Zhou Mengxian and immediately distanced himself from the relationship between Eshan Group and Zhou Mengxian.

Not only that, Song Yi also suggested that Zheng Enxuan shelve the Kaesong Industrial Park and Mount Kumgang tourism plans, which was a direct violation of Zhou Zhengyong's will.

Song Yi's combination of punches may indeed bring Eshan Group back to life, but it will put Zhou Mengxian in a morally passive position. Now it depends on whether Zheng Enxuan is willing to save Eshan Group or Zhou Mengxian.  The first chapter is finished, and there will be another chapter later
