The more anxious he became, the more unhurried Song Nuan became. She leisurely poured herself a cup of tea, blew on it, and took a sip.
The aroma of tea lingers on the lips and teeth.
Song Zhiren frowned as he watched Song Zhiren's relaxed and carefree demeanor.
Lu Ziyang remained silent, looking at her with a half-smile.
Why is everyone so quiet?
Song Nuan looked up and smiled at Lu Ziyang, "President Lu, although I have left Song's Group, I still own shares in Song's Group, which are just temporarily managed by my father."
She tilted her head, looking completely innocent, "But even so, I'm practically half a member of the Song family, right?"
"Of course," Lu Ziyang replied, going along with her words.
Song Zhiren's face turned pale and bluish, his anger practically written all over his face.
"Actually, it's nothing major," Lu Ziyang said calmly. "We were just talking about some project matters. It's rare to have a good project, but unfortunately, Chairman Song doesn't think it's promising."
Song Nuan knew immediately that something was fishy about it.
Will he help Song Zhiren secure good projects?
It's probably a ticking time bomb.
Guessing Lu Ziyang's purpose, Song Nuan smiled faintly, "What project? Ziyang, we know each other, why don't you introduce me to your project first?"
After saying that, she looked at Song Zhiren again, "Dad, I don't mean to compete with you for the project, but since you're not interested, why not give it to me? If the Qin family profits, the Song family will also benefit, won't they?"
Lu Ziyang's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
No wonder she's the woman he's set his sights on; she's far too intelligent.
Song Zhiren was initially hesitant.
Although this project has the backing of the Li family and a lot of money, the industry is unstable and it is easy for it to collapse in the later stages. If the funds cannot be recovered, then the Song family will be truly finished!
But after a few words from Song Nuan, Song Zhiren changed his mind.
He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Sign! We have to sign!"
Song Nuan and Lu Ziyang exchanged a glance, and after only a second, they tacitly looked away, each secretly pleased and mocking Song Zhiren for being both stupid and easily fooled.
But the superficial work still needs to continue.
"Dad, what do you mean by this?" Song Nuan feigned anger. "The Song family doesn't lack one or two projects. Didn't you say you didn't want them? Do you not want to give them to me?"
Song Zhiren waved his hand dismissively, "What do you know? Giving the project to you would be a waste."
"..."
Song Nuan tightened her grip on the teacup.
A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes. Remembering the purpose of her visit, she put down her teacup, her expression cold. "It's nothing. I'm just here to remind you that in two months, the Song family will be replaced."
"There are many procedures and complicated documents, Dad, remember to prepare in advance, don't forget in your busy schedule." Song Nuan smiled slightly, full of provocation.
Song Zhiren coldly retorted, "Haste makes waste. Don't think that getting shares means you can inherit the Song family business. You still need the shareholders' vote to approve your entry into the Song family business."
With Zhou Min's 8% stake, Song Zhiren's current stake should be around 30%.
With a little effort, it wouldn't be difficult for him to buy shares from other shareholders.
Song Nuan smiled and stood up. "You're right. Qin Yuchuan went to the hospital again. Song Ningxue seems to be unwell. Dad, you should take better care of her."
"Do you need to tell me?"
Knowing she was an eyesore, Song Nuan didn't linger and got up to leave.
Not long after, Lu Ziyang also came out.
The two took the same elevator downstairs, and after a few seconds of silence—
"Did you provide a problematic project?"
"Something happened to Song Ningxue?"
The two spoke in unison.
They looked at each other, paused for a few seconds, and then broke into a smile.
Lu Ziyang explained first, "The project does have problems, but not major ones. It will only cause him some minor trouble. When that happens, it will separate him from the shareholders, making it much easier for you to take over."
"Thank you," Song Nuan said sincerely.
She truly didn't expect Lu Ziyang to go to such lengths for her.
Seemingly sensing what she was thinking, the man said lazily, "You're welcome. Anyway, I didn't give it to you for nothing."
Song Nuan smiled helplessly.
"Song Ningxue miscarried; the baby is gone," she explained simply.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyang raised an eyebrow slightly.
Song Nuan looked at him, puzzled by his reaction—he just raised an eyebrow?
"Aren't you surprised?"
Lu Ziyang said casually, "There's nothing surprising about it. If she hadn't spent 80 million to save that child's life, she probably would have miscarried by now."
This time, it was Song Nuan's turn to be shocked.
She once thought that Lu Ziyang was just trying to scare Song Ningxue, but she never expected that he would actually force Song Ningxue to have an abortion.
This realization sent a chill down Song Nuan's spine.
Lu Ziyang, oblivious to what was happening, glanced at his watch and said to himself, "Are we going to my place for dinner tonight?"
In that instant, he seemed to revert to his gentle and considerate side.
I forcibly pulled my thoughts back.
Song Nuan asked, "Is this one of the two requirements?"
"I'll cook for you, and I have to make a request?" He turned to look at her in disbelief, his dark eyes seeming to question her, 'How dare you?'
Song Nuan still went back to Huating Residential Area with him.
Because the incident happened so suddenly and there was nothing in the refrigerator at home, Lu Ziyang had to go out to buy supplies.
Song Nuan was feeling lazy and didn't go out with them.
She lay half-reclined on the sofa and called Xu Yiran, "Yiran, I won't be home for dinner tonight. There's food in the fridge. See if there's anything you want to eat. If not, we can order takeout."
Xu Yiran: "Alright, how's Song Ningxue? Is she alright?"
Song Nuan couldn't help but recall Song Ningxue's appearance when she went to the hospital today.
She didn't stay in the ward for long, so she didn't have much time to observe Song Ningxue's condition.
The only thing I'm certain of is that Song Ningxue and Qin Yuchuan definitely had a fight.
"You look fine, nothing's wrong, don't worry." Song Nuan comforted her, "Qin Yuchuan doesn't know you've joined Qin's yet, so keep a low profile and avoid him if you see him. In short, don't go looking for trouble with him lately."
Qin Yuchuan only promised her not to sue Xu Yiran.
If he knew that Xu Yiran worked at Qin's company, he would probably fire her immediately.
Xu Yiran had just returned to China and kept it a secret from her family. She had finally settled down, and Song Nuan didn't want her to go through too much trouble.
"Okay, come back soon."
"good."
The doorbell rang suddenly.
Song Nuan glanced back, then stood up with some confusion, opening the door as she said, "How come you got here so quickly... um!"
The person who came back was not Lu Ziyang at all!
The stranger covered Song Nuan's mouth and swiftly pressed her against the wall, rendering her unable to move or call for help.
At that moment, another man appeared outside the door.
There are two people in total.
He went inside and searched the house. Song Nuan followed him closely out of the corner of her eye. She initially thought it was a robbery, but she saw him walking back and forth without taking anything.
"Brother, there's no one in the house, only her."
The man holding her back said, "Strange, wasn't it said to be a man? Could it be that the employer gave us the wrong information?"
employer?
Hired killer? Kidnapping?
"Forget it, whether it's a man or a woman, let's take him back and report."
Song Nuan was taken away bound like that.
