Chapter 80 Lin Xi is just your future daughter-in-law
Lin Xi suddenly remembered what she had written on the first page and tried to snatch the notebook back, saying, "President Song, give me back my notebook."
Song Xu is tall and has long arms; if he raises his arm, Lin Xi can't reach it even if she jumps.
Before everyone had left the conference room, Song Qingshi watched his usually aloof son playing with a secretary. He coughed and said, "Xiao Xu, come to my office."
Lin Xi noticed that the president was watching them, so she immediately withdrew her hand and stood properly to the side.
Song Xu placed the computer in Lin Xi's hands, saying, "Could you take this back to my office for me?"
"My notebook..." Lin Xi stared at her notebook, thinking, "Why don't you just give it back to her?"
"Can I borrow your notebook?" Song Xu deliberately leaned close to Lin Xi's ear and whispered, "Make sure you remember everything, I'm afraid my dad will test me on it."
If it weren't for the mockery in Song Xu's eyes, Lin Xi would almost have believed it. She bit her lip and said, "Two hundred for the notebook."
Song Xu lightly patted Lin Xi's head with his notebook, "I'll give you two hundred and fifty."
Song Qingshi couldn't stand it anymore. Why were they flirting again? "Song Xu, come here right now!"
Wow, he was called by his full name. Song Xu looked at Song Qingshi in surprise. What was wrong with him? He hadn't done anything wrong, so why was his dad angry?
Lin Xi understood, so she gave up the laptop, grabbed Song Xu's computer, and followed Zhang Qing out of the conference room first.
Song Xu rolled up the notebook into a tube and held it in his hand, tapping his thigh as he walked, following behind Song Qingshi to the president's office.
"Dad, what did you call me over for?" Song Xu threw his notebook on the table and took off his hat.
Anyway, his dad has already seen his forehead, so it doesn't matter anymore.
Song Qingshi sat in the leather chair, his gaze deep and unfathomable. "Who exactly is that little secretary? How come I didn't know you hired another secretary?"
So that's what it was. Song Xu didn't hide anything. "She's a part-time secretary, not listed in the company's employee file."
"What?" Song Qingshi thought he had misheard. "When has our company ever hired a part-time employee, let alone a general manager's secretary?!"
"Song Xu," Song Qingshi slammed his hand on the table, "you're being ridiculous! Don't you know that some of the content of today's meeting cannot be disclosed to the public?"
"If she leaks internal company information, it will cause huge losses to the company."
If Song Qingshi weren't afraid of upsetting his wife, he would have loved to slap his stupid son a few times.
“Dad, have some tea and calm down,” Song Xu pushed the teacup on the table toward Song Qingshi. “Lin Xi is not a corporate spy.”
Song Qingshi picked up his teacup and took a sip of the cold tea. Before he could swallow, he heard Song Xu continue, "She is your future daughter-in-law."
"Pfft!" Song Qingshi couldn't hold back and choked on his tea, spitting out half of it. "Cough! Cough! Cough!"
Song Xu quickly pulled out some tissues and went over to help Song Qingshi wipe the table and documents. "Dad, why are you so agitated? These documents are very important."
This unfilial son, Song Qingshi was still coughing, but Song Xu didn't care about him, instead he cared about a pile of lifeless documents.
After wiping away the water stains, Song Xu patted Song Qingshi's back and asked, "Dad, are you feeling better?"
Song Qingshi recovered, pushed Song Xu away, and asked sternly, "What did you just say? Who is my future daughter-in-law?"
Song Xu sat back down opposite Song Qingshi and calmly replied, "It's Lin Xi, the secretary from earlier."
“Impossible!” Song Qingshi immediately refused. “Forget about it. The Song family’s daughter-in-law is not someone that just anyone can become.”
“Dad, you told me to keep a woman by my side, and you said Mom really likes her,” Song Xu said calmly. “I like her too, so I decided to have her.”
"Is she the nanny you keep in the apartment?" Song Qingshi finally realized why the name "Lin Xi" sounded familiar; his wife had mentioned it to him twice.
“Then that’s even more impossible,” Song Qingshi sneered. “I’m letting you support me, but I’m not letting you marry me. There’s no room for discussion on that.”
"What if Mom agrees?" Song Xu didn't expect his father to agree immediately. He just wanted Lin Xi to make an appearance today as a way to give his father a heads-up.
“Your mother…” Song Qingshi’s tone softened considerably when he mentioned his wife, “She wouldn’t agree either.”
Song Qingshi knew very well how picky his wife was about choosing a daughter-in-law.
Putting aside his biological son Song Xu, his wife has already put a lot of effort into Song Chen, his adopted son.
Family background, appearance, character, education, and upbringing—none of them can be lacking.
"That Lin Xi, besides being decent-looking, what else does she have to offer!" Song Qingshi didn't think his wife would be interested in her.
“Beauty is just Xi Xi’s least noteworthy advantage,” Song Xu said, his face turning ugly as he heard Song Qingshi belittle Lin Xi. “She is excellent in both character and academics, ranking eleventh in history in this year’s Jiangbei City college entrance examination. You should know the value of that achievement.”
"She's a college student?" Song Qingshi asked, somewhat surprised. "Isn't she just a nanny?"
“There are plenty of nannies out there. I must have my reasons for choosing her,” Song Xu pushed Lin Xi’s notebook in front of Song Qingshi. “Take a look at the meeting minutes that the nanny took for the first time.”
Song Qingshi took the notebook with suspicion, opened the first page, and was greeted by very beautiful handwriting. The handwriting was so pleasing to the eye that it was truly delightful to look at.
Upon seeing the introduction of Director Shu, Song Qingshi raised an eyebrow, surprised that the young nanny had such a knack for judging people and situations.
But that's not the point. The point is the notes that followed. They were able to summarize and categorize everyone's remarks in a short time, without missing any key points or including any unnecessary words.
"She's a talented person," Song Qingshi said, not holding back his praise for Lin Xi, "but she's still far from being qualified to be a daughter-in-law of the Song family."
Lin Xi has many other good qualities, but Song Xu can't tell his father that some things can't be shared with anyone.
"Lin Xi can make delicious milk tea," Song Xu pointed out another crucial advantage.
Song Qingshi was taken aback. He slammed his hand on the table. "What's the use of this? All the girls at the bubble tea shop can make bubble tea. Are you going to marry them all and make them your mother's daughter-in-law?"
“The girls at the bubble tea shop aren’t very smart,” Song Xu argued. “They might be smart, but they might not be good-looking, and they might not be good at making bubble tea. Xi Xi is top-notch in all these aspects.”
His physique is top-notch, and in bed... He believes that he and Lin Xi will have a harmonious relationship in the future.
“You…” Song Qingshi pointed at Song Xu, momentarily at a loss for words to retort, but Song Xu’s next sentence delivered a fatal blow to him.
“Dad, you don’t need to be in such a hurry,” Song Xu sighed, tapping his fingers on the table. “Because I haven’t won her over yet, Lin Xi is just your future daughter-in-law.”
Song Qingshi: ...
