Su Yin quickly added, "Actually, I don't want to rely on him completely. I will also work hard on my own."
You should know that Song Nuan is the one with real power in the Song family. She confessed to being lazy and good-for-nothing, which is just offering her neck to Song Nuan to chop off!
"Is that so?"
"Of course."
Su Yin pledged her loyalty without hesitation. She was still in her internship period, and if Song Nuan wanted to fire her, she could easily find any excuse to do so.
She didn't have much money; she had spent almost all of what Song Zhiren had given her. Men were unreliable, and her job was her last means of livelihood, so she had to hold on to it no matter what.
Song Nuan smiled faintly, "What, have you decided to break up with Song Zhiren?"
Su Yin looked guilty. "I can't get in touch with him, so we can't break up. Let's talk about it after I get in touch with him."
Do I need to tell you what it means when a man disappears?
Su Yinqing's face was pale, her eyes filled with resentment at what Song Nuan had said, but she still refrained from saying anything back.
After chatting for just a couple of minutes, I couldn't eat anymore.
She tidied up the leftover takeout, turned around and went upstairs. After a while, Song Nuan saw her change her clothes and prepare to go out again.
She didn't ask any questions.
They lived under the same roof, but frankly, they had no relationship whatsoever and neither wanted to be associated with the other.
Su Yin was wary of her because she was the largest director of the Song family and she was afraid that she would be detrimental to her work. She also took into account her status as Song Zhiren's daughter and felt that Song Nuan would be a threat to her.
As for Song Nuan herself...
She felt even less affection for a girl younger than herself who fantasized about becoming her stepmother.
Meanwhile, the Song family.
A man was sitting in Fang Yu's office. She had just returned from a meeting and was surprised by this unexpected visitor. "Assistant Lin, what are you doing here?"
Lin Xuan cut to the chase, "Mr. Fang, I'm here to ask about Miss Song's whereabouts."
Fang Yu's lips curled slightly, and without even offering tea, she said indifferently, "I don't know where President Song is. You can ask a hundred times and you'll get the same answer. To put it another way, President Song's sudden disappearance is because he doesn't want to be disturbed."
She looked up at him, a forced smile on her face, "Doesn't your CEO understand her intentions?"
Lin Xuan completely ignored the subtle sarcasm in her words.
She only dared to be so unrestrained in front of him; if Li Jingchen were there, Fang Yu probably wouldn't dare to say a word.
"Is your CEO Song really willing to leave the company?"
Fang Yu suddenly realized something.
A fleeting doubt flashed through her mind, but she dared not dwell on it and could only let the doubt dissipate.
"Assistant Lin should worry about his own affairs."
She crossed her arms and placed them on the table. "You haven't seen the latest news yet, have you? The media reported on President Li and Miss Zhong's wedding. It's a grand affair. Your President Li is preparing for his wedding while also harassing our President Song. Who exactly is he trying to harm?"
Lin Xuan choked for a moment.
Fang Yu raised her hand and said, "If there's nothing else, Assistant Lin, take care. I won't see you off."
He left with a displeased expression.
As he stepped into the elevator, he took out his phone from his pocket. The screen lit up instantly, indicating that he had been on a call for over twenty minutes.
"President Li."
"I heard everything."
A deep, somber voice came from the other end of the line, clearly displeased: "Handle this news matter quickly, don't let it escalate."
"clear."
Most of the major media outlets in Liangcheng are controlled by the An family. With An Szeze's help, the news that the Li and Zhong families were about to have a marriage alliance was removed within a day.
Almost no information can be found online.
When Zhong Guan heard the report from his subordinates, he just gave a cold laugh.
"Have you found out who sent that anonymous email?"
The assistant shook his head. "We can only find that it's a foreign IP address. All other information has been erased. It seems like the other party anticipated this and hired the best hackers. We can't find anything."
The marriage between Zhong Qingya and Li Jingchen was never a simple alliance.
It was a mutually beneficial arrangement between two powerful families, one in the north and one in the south.
But now it seems that mutual benefit may turn into mutual destruction, which is not Zhong Guan's original intention.
After receiving the anonymous email, he couldn't contact Zhong Qingya. He tried to probe Li Jingchen a few times, but Li Jingchen always managed to debunk his questions with just a few words. That's why he had the media release the news.
However, it was cleared out by the Li family.
"That young man from the Li family really doesn't want to marry Qingya."
Zhong Guan was very unhappy and asked his assistant, "Qingya is elegant, dignified, and comes from a wealthy family. Why does he look down on my daughter?"
The assistant wiped his sweat, "You're blind."
They are truly blind!
Zhong Guan snorted, "Looks like I'll have to find some time to go to Liangcheng myself. You contact Qingya's friends, charter a flight, hotel, and meals, and accompany her throughout the trip. Go to Liangcheng with them to check out the situation first."
"OK."
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Most of the lights in the Song Group were off, except for Fang Yu's office, which was still lit.
She made a video call to Song Nuan.
There was a stack of documents half an arm's length high beside her, all of which were the information she had gathered from her investigation.
Fang Yu explained to Song Nuan one by one, “The first company remanufactured defective products; the second company acquired a media brand and planned to use the brand to collaborate with the Song family... The last company also recycled a large number of defective products.”
There are nine companies in total.
These were all clients whom Song Nuan had worked with when she was with Qin's company; their names were familiar, and the names of the people in charge were even more well-known.
Fang Yu asked, "What are your plans?"
"Go to the dinner party as usual."
Song Nuan pondered for a moment, "First, lower the price to the lowest level in the industry. I want to see how much money Zhong Qingya is willing to subsidize them out of her own pocket."
Fang Yu understood.
The two chatted until 11 p.m.
With her shoulders aching terribly, Fang Yu got dressed, pounded her shoulders, turned off the light, and as she turned to close the door, she caught a glimpse of a red glow reflected from the floor tiles.
She frowned.
I turned my toes around and walked over, crouched down, and looked in the direction of the light source—
Fang Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.
How could there be a listening device in her office?!
She quickly calmed down and recalled the events of the past few days. There was nothing suspicious, except that Lin Xuan had come today.
etc……
Lin Xuan is backed by Li Jingchen.
Fang Yu felt a chill run down her spine. She frantically pulled out her phone and called Song Nuan, but it rang several times without being answered. She ran into the elevator and used another phone to call Xu Yiran.
"Fang Yu, what's wrong?"
"Go to the Song family right now."
Xu Yiran happened to be having dinner out tonight, and her seat was closest to the Song family's house.
"Why are you going to the Song family?"
"I don't have time to explain all that to you. Hurry up and go. If things don't look right, call the police immediately."
Xu Yiran was startled by her display of force and didn't bother to ask any more questions. After saying "okay," she hung up the phone, immediately ran out of the restaurant, and drove to the Song family's house.
At the same time, the Song family.
'Knock knock—'
The knocking sounded in an orderly fashion. Song Nuan was on the second floor, and since she hadn't rang the doorbell, she couldn't hear the knocking at all.
Only Su Yin in the living room could hear it.
She got up and went to the door, thinking it was Song Zhiren returning. As she opened it, she cursed, "You old fool, you still know how to come back looking for me..."
Her voice trailed off when her gaze met a pair of sinister eyes.
