Chapter 127 Waiting for the Right Opportunity
It was late at night, and the lights in Bai Guanqun's room were off, but the faint sound of sobbing could still be heard.
Song Yilin's back molars were practically clenched to pieces.
Xu Qingmin hugged Song Yilin: "I'm sorry, I'll teach my sister a lesson for what happened."
"What do you want to do?"
"From now on, Beiya Media will no longer receive funding from the Xu Group."
Song Yilin got out of Xu Qingmin's arms.
"You're really going to do that?"
"Yes, I won't let either of you get away with it."
Beiya Media is now Xu Qingya's lifeline. Film and television companies like hers already have huge expenses, and Xu Qingya likes to expand aggressively. Without the support of the Xu Group, she has offended many people in the capital circle in recent years, and it will be difficult for her to survive in the future.
Another point is that once the Xu Group withdraws its investment, Xu Qingmin is still Xu Qingya's younger brother. If her brother withdraws, others will follow suit. She already has many enemies, and when that happens, those who turn against her will swarm in. Xu Qingya probably won't be able to hold out for long.
It's not a big problem for others to withdraw their investment, but it's a big problem for Xu Qingmin to withdraw his investment.
"You need to be mindful of your words."
Xu Qingmin placed Song Yilin on the bed: "Are you afraid I won't treat my sister properly?"
"no."
She was afraid that, given Xu Qingya's personality, she would retaliate.
It wasn't that he was afraid he couldn't beat Xu Qingya, but rather that he was afraid Xu Qingya had no bottom line.
If she's capable of murder, there's probably nothing she wouldn't do.
She wasn't afraid of normal business competition; what she feared was Xu Qingya using underhanded tactics.
Song Yilin didn't want to continue the topic. No matter what, it was just her guess. She was Xu Qingmin's sister, and she couldn't possibly tell Xu Qingmin, "I suspect your sister has ill intentions towards me."
Song Yilin changed the subject: "By the way, what happened to Zhou Jian's people from Xin'ao Group in the other branches?"
"A few stayed, the rest left."
That's about half and half; Zhou Jian didn't stay behind of those who left.
However, thinking about it, Zhou Jian probably doesn't trust those who left the Xu Group either. Zhou Jian was betrayed by a group of general managers, and what he needs are people who can guarantee 100% loyalty.
Ability is secondary, so Wang Xiasheng and Zhang Ren, who have a grudge against Song Yilin, are people who would never betray him.
Song Yilin sniffed herself, smelling like an airplane cabin: "Qingmin, I've been on a plane all day. I'll take a shower first and then I'll report to you."
Xu Qingmin asked his aunt to prepare a bowl of bird's nest for Song Yilin.
Seeing Yanwo trying her best to clear her mind of the past two days, he knew he would lose his temper if her and Chen Yan's relationship remained a constant source of anxiety.
He knew that Song Yilin disliked his controlling nature the most.
When Song Yilin came out of the shower and saw the bird's nest, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
"Thank you, honey."
That one word, "husband," instantly soothed my anxious heart of the past few days.
"Yilin, what did you call me? Say it again."
Song Yilin pretended not to know: "What did I call you?"
Xu Qingmin carried Song Yilin directly to the bed and engaged in the most intimate interaction between husband and wife.
Song Yilin called him "husband" all night long.
When Song Yilin woke up in the morning, she remembered to report to Xu Qingmin, but Xu Qingmin had already gone to work.
Bai Guanqun also went to class.
Song Yilin was worried, so she called her aunt.
"Aunt Li, why are you still taking Guanqun to class?"
Bai Guanqun answered Aunt Li's call: "Mom, it was my insistence that I go."
"Although the trending topic has been removed, many people have already seen this. If you encounter a lot of rumors and gossip at school, don't go there, come back."
"Mom, it's okay. My classmates won't hurt me. They'll understand."
Since Bai Guanqun spoke with such certainty, Song Yilin didn't say anything more. She could only tell her aunt not to come back today, but to keep an eye on things at school and bring Bai Guanqun back if anything happened.
Song Yi got up and stretched, and Xu Qingmin looked at her as if he wanted to devour her.
He was really aggressive last night. Even with our daughter like this, he still has the energy; I really don't know what he's thinking.
Song Yilin stood up and supported her lower back.
I still didn't feel well, so I went downstairs to ask the auntie to give me a massage.
It has to be said that Xu Qingmin's two aunties are truly all-rounders; they can do everything.
I massaged it for a while and felt better before changing my clothes and going to work.
I looked in the mirror, did a quick makeup, and my neck was covered in hickeys.
Xu Qingmin is letting the whole world know what she went through right after returning from her business trip.
I finally managed to go out after changing into a high-necked top.
Xu Qingmin was not surprised to see her and immediately pulled her into a separate room.
He pushed her onto the bed.
Song Yilin struggled to get up.
"Xu Qingmin, calm down. You've already done it yesterday. You should at least get some rest."
Xu Qingmin immediately stopped and simply held her tightly on the bed.
"Qingmin, be serious, I need to talk to you about work."
Xu Qingmin nestled against her shoulder with a touch of roguishness: "The Xu Group belongs to us. It's a business matter, but it's also a family matter. Family matters can be discussed in bed."
He didn't want to listen; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control his emotions if he did.
Over the years, he had never lost control, but after being with Song Yilin, he had been constantly out of control.
The knot in my heart has remained untied.
Even though Song Yilin had never crossed any lines and her interactions with Chen Yan were just normal business social interactions, he just couldn't control himself.
Helpless, Song Yilin could only tell them about the car association's ambush of them while lying in bed.
Xu Qingmin considered this a rather serious matter.
I got up, straightened my clothes, and put my tie back on.
He left the cubicle and dialed the internal line to let Secretary Li in.
Secretary Li knocked on the door a few times and waited several tens of seconds before coming in.
Song Yilin felt that Secretary Li was being a little too cautious.
However, Li Zimu seemed to be quite cautious every time she came to Xu Qingmin's office.
"Secretary Li, issue a notice to fire Song Shiyu."
Li Zimu was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant and said, "Okay, Mr. Xu."
After Li Zimu closed the door, Song Yilin sat down in front of Xu Qingmin and asked, "You're firing Song Shiyu directly. Don't you need to talk to your sister first?"
Xu Qingmin's eyes flashed with disdain: "My sister is just a small shareholder, she can't decide my personnel decisions."
"But this is Chen Yan's investigation. Aren't you going to verify it before deciding whether or not to fire Song Shiyu?"
Xu Qingmin interlaced his fingers, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes: "Li Zimu also found out about her yesterday. Besides, if it weren't for my sister's sake, she would have left the company long ago after she framed Guan Qun last time."
"So, do you think I should cancel the policy of allowing employees to rest more?"
Without hesitation, Xu Qingmin said, "Yes, you've done enough to fight for your employees. Don't go against the entire industry. Many people say that Jianghai City belongs to the Xu family."
The Xu family has always adapted to the industry while gradually establishing its own rules. The automotive industry was a blank slate for the Xu family, a weak point. Therefore, you need to adapt to the industry first, and only after you gain a foothold can you set rules. If you try to set rules right away, no one will listen to you.
After thinking about it, Song Yilin understood what Xu Qingmin meant. In this era, the strong set the rules. Although the Xu Group can set the rules in Jianghai City, it cannot do so in other industries or other cities.
Doing business requires patience and time to settle down.
Helpless, Song Yilin announced in the group chat that the experiment with six days off per month was canceled.
But deep down, I felt a little resentful.
Let's just wait for the right opportunity.
