Chapter 107 She needs to marry three times?
A singer performed at the music restaurant, but his singing was poor, and he was booed off the stage by the audience.
Song Yilin watched quietly and said to Shi Chen, "President Shi, nothing in this world is easy. There is no industry that is truly without pressure. You are already very outstanding. Learn to relax a bit."
“Song Yilin, you have a good eye. I used to think we were on the same level, and that I would be fine if I performed my job normally. But today I realize that there is still a big gap between us.”
Song Yilin tapped Shi Chen's wine glass against her own: "President Shi, there's no need to belittle yourself. I still remember your performance report. You confidently declared that you would definitely expand Xin'ao Group's new energy business throughout the country. Are you backing down now?"
"I didn't back down, I just felt that there was still so much I needed to learn."
"If you're interested, I'll share all the books I've read with you. My rule is to read at least one book a week, whether it's psychology or economics, to broaden my horizons."
Song Yilin picked up a piece of fruit and said in a lighthearted tone, "Cheer up, don't look so bitter and resentful. Although you are older than me, you are not married yet, so you are still a young man. Young people should have some energy."
Shi Chen smiled and said, "Okay."
Song Yilin started chatting casually: "Why aren't you married at your age? Haven't you met the right person?"
At this point, Shi Chen put down his wine glass again: "There are people I like, but I'm not good enough for them, so I won't hold them back."
Song Yilin remembered that Shao Min liked Shi Chen. When Shi Chen said he liked someone, was it Shao Min, or someone else?
"Someone I like? Is this person someone I know?"
"Yes, we know each other. We're from the same group, and we have a deep connection."
Song Yilin already had the answer in her mind: "If I had to guess, is it Shao Min?"
When Song Yilin said that name, a subtle change appeared in Chen's eyes.
It seems it's true; when you like someone, you can't hide it in your eyes. Even hearing her name makes your heart flutter.
"Has Shao Min told you about me? It seems you two have a good relationship; she's willing to tell you everything."
"Did you know that she went to Binzhou because of you?"
"I know, but if she comes, won't I have to leave?"
That's true. We're all adults; we should think about making a living first, then about love.
Shi Chen said self-deprecatingly, "She probably hates me too."
Shi Chen knew that Shao Min probably had feelings for her, but there was also resentment. However, if two people are not compatible, whether it's resentment or love, they should separate sooner rather than later to avoid wasting each other's time.
"I don't know if she hates you, but I know that you've always been in her heart. Over the years, she's always said that work has kept her from getting married. I think she probably just can't let go of you, and being busy with work has left her no time to meet new people, so she hasn't gotten married yet. I've always thought you two were a perfect match, it's a pity."
Song Yilin felt it was a pity, but she wouldn't play matchmaker. Shao Min already had a child, and who knew if Shichen cared about Shao Min having a child, or even if Shao Min was still willing to get married. Liking someone is one thing, but getting married is another.
"She's doing well now, she has a child, and she should be getting married soon."
Song Yilin looked at the time in surprise. He didn't know that Shao Min's child was his own.
She recalled that Wang Yide had told her this news; the group's boss knew about it, but others wouldn't know unless they specifically inquired about it.
Shi Chen and Shao Min broke up many years ago, and he has been avoiding news about Shao Min, so he doesn't know that Shao Min had a child with a different mother.
"Mr. Shi, don't you know that Shao Min's child is from a sperm bank? She's a single mother and doesn't have a boyfriend."
With a crash, the cup shattered on the floor.
Shi Chen's eyes were red-rimmed, and his fingers were trembling slightly.
"Mr. Song, may I ask for leave? I'd like to return to Jianghai City first thing tomorrow morning, is that alright?"
"Sure, but I'm suddenly curious about why you broke up in the first place. Can I tell you?"
The waiter came over, cleaned up the broken glass on the floor, and gave Shichen a new cup.
“I was the one who broke up with her. She always wanted to have children, but she couldn’t get pregnant. Later, I went for a checkup and found out that it was my problem—azoospermia. I will never be able to fulfill her wish to have children.”
The love between Shao Min and Shi Chen touched Song Yilin a little; they were both people who cared about each other.
The timing of childbirth was not right, and Shao Min didn't want to delay her. Shao Min didn't want to have a child with someone else; she wanted to have one herself.
"I'll have Xiao Zhang book you a flight back tomorrow, Shao Min, she still likes you."
"Thank you, Mr. Song."
It's amazing that I was able to find something to eat while on a business trip.
Song Yilin's hotel is by the sea. Unable to sleep, she walked along the beach. A man dressed as a monk kept staring at her. Song Yilin looked at herself strangely.
Is there anything strange about her?
The monk approached her.
“Female benefactor, there’s no need to be so surprised. It’s rare to see someone with such features, so I’m just taking a second look.”
Song Yilin ignored the man who asked for money based on his appearance.
The monk behind her said, "Female benefactor, you will have to marry three times in your life before you can finally settle down."
Song Yilin glanced back at the monk, smiled, and didn't take the matter to heart.
When it was time to go back, the Binzhou store still needed some assistance, so Song Yilin left Xiao Zhang at the Binzhou store to help out.
Her mission this time was to attend the opening ceremony of the new energy store and to investigate the market in Binzhou City. Now she has to do the investigation alone.
Song Yilin drove around the area in Binzhou where 4S stores are concentrated, and then went to see the pillar industry that Shichen had mentioned yesterday.
In fact, what drives the development of the entire Binzhou City is that this city has a port.
As soon as Song Yilin arrived at the dock, she saw busy people and piles of containers.
The economic situation seems to be good, but for such an established city to open up the market, it needs locals, and advertising needs to reach the most grassroots people.
The local people are the ones with the greatest potential to buy luxury new energy vehicles.
As Song Yilin was about to leave, she ran into an old acquaintance.
"Mr. Song, what a coincidence to meet you here."
Song Yilin never believed in fate. As the president of Xin'ao Group, she would definitely come to the opening of Xin'ao Group's first store. Once she came, she would definitely stroll around the area. It was not surprising to meet her here. Perhaps it could be said that Chen Yan had already arranged for someone to follow her when she left the hotel.
Taking advantage of the chance encounter with Chen Yan, Song Yilin smiled and said to him, "Mr. Chen, what are you doing here?"
Chen Yan pointed with his hand: "The management company of this dock is mine."
"Mr. Chen's business skills are truly extensive; I really admire him."
"It's not about how wide or wide it is. It's just that when I was young, I took a liking to this area and wanted to make things convenient for the people here, so I built this dock for them."
Nowadays, newly built docks are generally owned by state-owned enterprises or central enterprises. If this dock was built by Chen Yan, it means that Chen Yan has been entrenched here for many years. Otherwise, how would he have had the opportunity to develop a dock?
Didn't he say before that he got everything he has now by sleeping with rich women?
You could build a dock in the 2020s, but you wouldn't need to accompany a rich woman.
"I never expected that Mr. Chen is also a philanthropist."
"Having worked in sales makes a difference; you speak so much better now. Since you're here, let's have a cup of tea together."
Song Yilin really didn't want to drink this tea, but since she was on Chen Yan's turf, it seemed she couldn't refuse.
