Now he was certain that Song Nuan was the person Li Jingchen liked.
As for why Li Jingchen would like a married woman and have an entanglement with her, he had no desire to explore that for the time being.
Song Nuanmei was beautiful, but she held no attraction for him.
The person he wanted to protect from beginning to end was Ouyang Chengyi, his sister.
However, some people do not understand this painstaking effort.
Ouyang Cheng shouted angrily, "Ouyang Zhoujing, if you dare to send me abroad, I swear I will never acknowledge you as my brother again in this lifetime!"
"Whatever you want."
He hung up indifferently, assuming she was just throwing a tantrum. She would say the same thing every time she was angry, but when it came time to spend money, she would still come running back to call him "brother".
Hearing the cold, busy tone of the dial tone, Ouyang Chengyi angrily smashed his phone.
Despite her anger, she didn't take it seriously; subconsciously, she still felt that Ouyang Zhoujing wasn't an untrustworthy person.
Since he agreed not to send her away if she stayed at home, he shouldn't go back on his word.
That evening, the butler came over and asked her, "Miss, have you packed your luggage? Or is there anything you need to bring? I'll have the servants pack it for you."
Ouyang Chengyi sprang out of bed with a somersault.
She exclaimed in disbelief, "No, my brother really bought me a plane ticket for tomorrow morning?"
Her phone was broken, so she didn't know if she had received the ticket purchase text message.
Butler: "Yes."
Ouyang Chengyi clenched his fists tightly. "You, Ouyang Zhoujing!"
"My phone is broken. What time is my flight tomorrow?"
"11 o'clock."
She drew out an "oh," rolled her eyes, and pointed at the black screen of her frozen phone, "Help me fix it tomorrow morning. You can send someone to buy me a new phone first."
"OK."
Not long after, the housekeeper delivered the new phone.
The moment he got his phone back, Ouyang Chengyi contacted Song Ningxue, that woman's sister.
Song Ningxue was surprised to receive Ouyang Chengyi's call.
Since Ouyang Chengyi added her and asked her a bunch of questions about Song Nuan, and after she answered them and expressed her hope to cooperate with the Ouyang Group, she hasn't replied to a single message.
"Cheng Yi, why are you calling me?"
Do you live alone?
Song Ningxue didn't understand why she was asking this, but she still answered, "No, I live at home, but I own properties that I don't live in. What's wrong with that?"
Ouyang Chengyi bit her lip, suddenly finding it difficult to speak.
She, the daughter of one of the four great families, had actually fallen so low as to ask the illegitimate daughter of a small family to take her in.
However, there was no other candidate besides Song Ningxue.
Ouyang Zhoujing knew exactly who her friends were, and he knew she would be caught within half a day.
"Cheng Yi, are you listening?"
"Okay," she replied slowly. "I'm going to stay at your place for a couple of days. Could you come pick me up tonight?"
Song Ningxue was stunned and didn't react immediately.
Ouyang Chengyi recalled the cooperation she had mentioned last time. She had always understood that relationships could only be stable if they were maintained by mutual interests.
He thought she hadn't agreed to take me in because of this, and he felt contempt for her, but he still promised, "If you take me in, I will persuade my brother to cooperate with your company."
Send me your location, and I'll come pick you up.

The next day, Song Nuan called Song Zhiren.
She asked calmly, "How have you thought about what I told you last time?"
"I agree, but I have one more request."
"explain."
Song Zhiren: "For the first five years, you will give me five million every year. After five years, the minimum dividend will also be five million. If not, you must make up the difference to five million."
Even a lion wouldn't dare to speak like that.
"Are you still asleep?" Song Nuan scoffed, disdainful of his greed. "The conditions I've offered are already very generous. You can add more conditions if you want, but there's no such thing as getting something for nothing."
Song Zhiren remained silent.
Song Nuan wasn't in a hurry. She turned the volume up to the speaker and put it aside, then calmly continued practicing yoga while waiting for him to think.
After waiting for several minutes, the voice on the other end of the phone rang again, "If you have any disagreements with Ningxue when you manage the Song family in the future, I will abstain from voting unconditionally."
Song Nuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, but it wasn't enough; she needed more promises.
That's it?
"Isn't that enough?" he said, somewhat exasperated. "What else do you want? Song Nuan, don't forget, you're the one begging me. Otherwise, I could have easily delayed giving you the company!"
That sounds intimidating, but it's not actually threatening at all.
Song Nuan calmly negotiated, "I want Song Ningxue to never work in the company, no matter what. I don't care if she has shares, but she can't take over the work of any department."
Song Zhiren gritted his teeth and said, "Fine!"
"I'll have someone revise the contract, and I'll come to you this afternoon to sign it."
Today is Friday.
After signing the contract with Song Zhiren, Fang Yu took the contract back home. Song Nuan called Lu Ziyang, but he didn't answer for a long time.
While shopping at the mall, Song Nuan asked, "I'm leaving the country the day after tomorrow, so I came out to buy some things. Is there anything you need? I'll buy it for you too."
"There's nothing I need, I can just buy it abroad."
How boring...
Song Nuan said "oh" and hung up without saying anything else. She went straight to the snack section and bought many of her favorite snacks.
Now that Qin Yuchuan and Song Zhiren are both taken care of, there's nothing she needs to personally oversee anymore.
No matter how capable Song Ningxue is, she can't stir up any trouble.
She planned to stay abroad for a month to search for clues about her mother with Cen Wan. She would return after a month, just in time to divorce Qin Yuchuan and take over the Song family business.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
In the president's office of the Li Group, a tall, imposing man exudes a fierce aura in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Still can't find her?" The man's handsome face was now dark and terrifying. "Go to her friends' houses, check them one by one, ask them one by one. I don't believe we still can't find her."
After saying that, he hung up the phone with a dark expression.
Compared to his volatile temper, the man on the leather sofa was much calmer.
"Cheng Yi just got back, and you already want to send her back abroad. It's understandable that she ran away from home. With her temper, the more you push her, the more she'll cause trouble."
Ouyang Zhoujing glanced back at him, thoroughly annoyed.
"Are you telling me to ignore her?"
“She’s grown up.” Li Jingchen calmly flipped through the book “One Hundred Things to Note When Traveling” in his hand. “We really can’t be too strict with her. There are some things she needs to figure out for herself.”
His words were loaded with meaning.
Ouyang Zhoujing's eyes flickered, his jaw tightened, and he sat down opposite him. "You're actually speaking up for her."
Upon hearing this, Li Jingchen looked up at him, his brows furrowing silently, but his tone remained indifferent and calm, "Did you go to see someone you shouldn't have?"
It is an interrogative sentence, but spoken in a declarative tone.
Once the conversation reaches this point, there's no need for those covert methods of concealment anymore.
Ouyang Zhoujing was not surprised. "I met someone."
"Song Nuan?"
"It seems you know." He said expressionlessly. "Cheng Yi has indeed been acting recklessly. I can't very well send your woman away, can I? I can only send her abroad."
