Two hours before the end of get off work is the Song family’s quarterly routine meeting.
With fifteen minutes left before the end of the meeting, a cell phone suddenly rang in the conference room, interrupting the financial director who was reporting. Everyone else looked at each other, looking for the source of the sound.
Song Xuanhe leaned to one side, his eyes casually falling on Song Guochao sitting opposite him. He had always had good hearing, and when others were looking for the source of the sound, he immediately discovered that it was Song Guochao's cell phone.
Chairman Song Yansong, who was sitting at the very top, also heard it. His already serious expression became even more tense, and his majestic eyes scanned below, trying to see who had broken the rule that mobile phones must be muted in the meeting room.
Song Guochao is not usually very smart, but having lived to his age and held a high position, he naturally would not challenge such small rules. His cell phone was originally silent, but he set a special number, and no matter when, as long as that number was dialed, the ringtone would sound.
"Father, why do I feel like the voice is coming from you?"
Song Xuanhe leaned back in his office chair, smiling with his eyes squinting and his lips curled, looking very provocative.
Song Guochao was originally hesitating between answering the call and hanging up. Seeing Song Xuanhe embarrass him in front of everyone in the conference room, he felt annoyed. He didn't want to lose face, so he said coldly: "This is Mr. Huang who has been negotiating the land in the development zone for some time. Because we haven't confirmed the intention of cooperation, I set his number to a special mode so that he can call even on silent mode."
After saying that, Song Guochao looked up and said to Song Yansong, "Chairman, the meeting content has almost been summarized. We can't delay Mr. Huang. How about I go and answer the phone?"
Song Yansong's face improved. The land in the development zone was a major project of the Song family in the second half of the year, so it really couldn't be sloppy. Besides, the meeting was indeed coming to an end at this time, and there was nothing more to say, so he nodded and said, "We have said everything that needs to be said, so let's end the meeting here."
Song Guochao breathed a sigh of relief, but caught a glimpse of Song Xuanhe's smiling expression. His heart sank and he became angry again. He must have done too many evil things in his previous life, which is why he was forced to marry into the Li family and gave birth to such a rebellious son.
The door to the conference room opened, and Song Yansong left first, followed by others. Song Guochao was in a hurry to return a call, so he naturally walked in front, while Song Xuanhe fell behind. Song Xuanlin walked with him, and seeing that he looked like he wanted to cause trouble, she said helplessly, "Don't provoke father. Go home more often when you have time. Mom has been talking about you a lot recently."
After Song Xuanhe entered this shell, he had very few opportunities to interact with Song Xuanlin, because the book only described Song Xuanlin in a few sentences and there was nothing useful, so he had no interest in communicating with him more. Now when he suddenly heard him speak, he still felt a little strange.
However, the memory of the original owner and Song Xuanlin getting along was very vivid in his mind. Song Xuanhe was also quite relaxed when talking. He smiled and said, "I know, he won't cause trouble for me. How could I cause trouble for him?"
Song Xuanlin knew his brother's character very well, and didn't believe a word he said, so he could only speak more seriously: "Jia Ni called me at noon and said that you fired her directly. She will probably go to mom this afternoon. Grandpa is already unhappy with your relationship with that man in the venture capital department, so don't cause trouble again. If Song Guochao gets involved in this matter, your marriage might be settled. Don't rush into it."
Hearing this, Song Xuanhe nodded in agreement. Perhaps it was because of his personality. Song Xuanlin, who had been mature and steady since childhood, was not as close to his younger brother as ordinary brothers, but he really wanted to do good for him. He just didn't know why, in the end, he had to watch his younger brother being kicked out of the house.
"I know my limits." Song Xuanhe had a smile on his face. Just as he was about to say something else, his cell phone vibrated.
Seeing that he had a phone call, Song Xuanlin said no more, "You answer the phone. I'm leaving first. Remember to go back and see your mother when you have time."
Song Xuanhe watched him leave before answering the phone: "Mr. Song, someone broke into that person's villa not long ago and smashed it up. Now those people have left. That person is on the phone. I wonder if he is calling the police."
"No." Thinking of how Song Guochao hurriedly answered the phone just now, Song Xuanhe leaned against the wall with his lips curled, feeling very happy: "Keep watching over there, take more photos for me when you see Song Guochao, and don't relax your surveillance over there Liu Xu, I've been relying on their acting to entertain me during this period of time."
The person on the other end was silent for a while, and finally replied very professionally: "Okay, I will send you the photos tonight, and I will also let you know as soon as there is any situation here."
After hanging up the phone, Song Xuanhe put the phone back into his suit pocket and returned to the office with squinted eyes.
Some time ago, Liu Xu took the initiative to contact Song Xuan many times to hook up with him, but after finding that he was unmoved, she gave up on him and took the initiative to please Song Guochao. Song Guochao was generous with his money. Not to mention the film and television resources, he had already given her several sets of sea view houses and jewelry worth tens of millions at auction.
Therefore, the scandal between Liu Xu and Song Guochao also had some influence in the circle. Because she has a strong background and abundant resources, her status has risen. Liu Xu, who was just barely among the first-tier stars, enjoyed super first-tier treatment in just two weeks with Song Guochao, and her heart naturally became more ambitious.
She knew that she could not shake Song Guochao's position as the original wife, so she thought of ways to keep Song Guochao hanging, at least to keep her position as the number one mistress. Song Guochao obviously liked her very much, and under her coquettishness and jealousy, he really cut off contact with his other lovers and doted on her alone for a period of time, providing her with luxury cars, mansions and good resources. As long as she asked, Song Guochao would not refuse.
Liu Xu truly enjoyed the benefits of being Song Guochao's lover, so she naturally tried even harder to please him, and she knew that she could only get greater benefits by tying down this man.
However, at this moment, someone anonymously sent her an email. There was nothing else in it, just a woman's information. The information clearly introduced the relationship between the woman and Song Guochao, and also described the experiences of the two in detail.
Looking at the woman in the photo who looked 60% like her, Liu Xu was furious. Then when she saw that she was Song Guochao's first love, what else was there for her to not understand?
Although Liu Xu came from a poor family, she had never suffered any hardship since she was a child because of her outstanding looks. Later, she entered the entertainment industry, and with her beauty and tact, she was like a fish in water. She won the Best Actress award two years after entering the industry, an achievement that others could hardly achieve. Her life for the past twenty years can be described as smooth sailing.
It is also because of this smooth sailing that although Liu Xu is worldly-wise and smooth, she has a sense of pride in her bones from being admired since childhood.
She knew that Song Guochao was attracted to her youth and beauty, and she was also attracted to his status and money. They each got what they wanted. Even though she knew that he had a wife and a child who was about her age, she never thought that there was anything wrong with what she did.
However, if Song Guochao treated her as a substitute for someone else, she would be very unhappy. Moreover, that other person was just his mistress. "First love" sounded good, but she was just an old woman who followed him without any status. She, a movie queen admired by thousands of people, actually became a substitute for the old and ugly mistress. How could she swallow this?
Moreover, Liu Xu is not stupid. If Song Guochao is with her because of her youth and beauty, she can still hope to tie him down for a long time with love. But if he only treats her as a substitute, then when he gets tired of her, he can't just abandon her. The real owner is still there anyway, and he will leave without any regrets. Without her backing, she will be left with nothing.
Although she was angry and resentful, Liu Xu was not in a hurry. She first sent someone to confirm the authenticity of the information, and then sent someone to keep an eye on that place, trying to confirm the position of that woman in Song Guochao's heart. However, more than half a month passed in a flash, and Song Guochao only went there once, and left in less than two hours. She thought that the woman was old and no longer attractive, so she felt relieved and sent people over to cause trouble.
Although she may cause trouble, Liu Xu is not stupid and will naturally not leave any evidence. What she wants to do is to use the opponent's force to her advantage. When the photos of Song Guochao and his first love are sent to Song Guochao's original wife, someone will naturally deal with the first love. Even if the original wife ignores it, she has plenty of channels to expose their relationship.
Once the relationship between Song Guochao and his first love is exposed, she will not believe that they can still have private contact. Once the contact between the two is broken off, Song Guochao will naturally only be able to find her.
After a long time, she didn't believe that Song Guochao would abandon her for his first love who was already old and ugly and it was extremely risky to meet her.
Song Xuanhe had already sent people to keep an eye on Liu Xu, so he naturally noticed Liu Xu's actions. He had seen enough of these things in his original world, and he had seen many women like Liu Xu, so he didn't need to investigate too much and guessed her purpose almost exactly.
In fact, Liu Xu's purpose was the same as Song Xuanhe's. He had anticipated the result as early as the initial plan. He only hoped that Liu Xu would be more powerful so that Song Guochao's image as a kind father would be shattered as soon as possible, and that he would stop thinking of ways to provoke Song Guochao all the time, and that he could be a free man who was "discouraged" and became a stranger to Song Guochao but would not be blamed by anyone.
Song Xuanhe returned to the office to get his car keys. It was just time to get off work, so he walked out without even sitting down. When he arrived at the marketing department floor, he found that his secretary was also there, and was talking to a woman who looked familiar.
The secretary also noticed Song Xuanhe, said something to the woman and walked over. She smiled and said, "The venture capital department is going to have a meeting today. I wanted to go up and inform you, but I didn't expect you to come down. It seems that the meeting ended early today."
Although Song Xuanhe had some of the arrogance of a child from an aristocratic family and was prone to losing his temper occasionally, he was usually very easy to talk to with his colleagues and subordinates. He was also very handsome, had a cheerful and easygoing smile, and was good at taking jokes. With these prerequisites, his temper, which improved in an instant, seemed real and cute, so after getting along for a while, the secretary spoke to him more casually and intimately.
"It's okay, I'll just wait here, you can go off work first."
The secretary glanced at the tightly closed door of the conference room, thought for a moment and said, "My friend is also in the venture capital department, and I happen to be waiting for her, so why don't I wait with you? The lounge is in front, and I can just tell you about your schedule for next week."
Thinking about discussing work after get off work, Song Xuanhe frowned slightly, but he really had no reason to refuse, so he could only follow the secretary to the lounge.
The secretary was very diligent. He sat down and reported next week's schedule to him one by one. He then introduced all the people he needed to contact and those he wanted to contact who had already made an appointment. By the end, Song Xuan was looking forward to Xiao Yuanmu's meeting ending soon so that he could leave.
"Mr. Song." The secretary suddenly stopped talking and said to Song Xuanhe, "There seems to be a little red mark on your collar."
Song Xuan paused while drinking water, thinking of the scene when Song Jiani threw herself on him at noon and Xiao Yuanmu's cold face when he asked him to wipe his face. He hurriedly lowered his head to look, but he did not see the red mark that the secretary mentioned.
Seeing that he was pulling at his collar but couldn't find the right place, the secretary came over, took a tissue dipped in water and helped him wipe it. After wiping, he looked up and showed him the red spot on the paper, indicating that he had wiped it clean.
Just at this moment, the door of the conference room opened. Xiao Yuanmu walked in front of the crowd. When he looked up, he saw Song Xuan and the other person sitting intimately, as if they were kissing.
