Chapter 288 Meeting Stepfather
Lin Youqian's arrival made Song Min and Ms. Wen very nervous.
The two of them were like a pair of children who had done something wrong, with their hands folded neatly, standing upright at the door, not daring to move.
Qi Xu hugged Ms. Wen with a smile and touched her belly.
"Mom, congratulations!"
Then he waved playfully at Song Min. "Hi, Master, I'm here!"
Privately, Qi Xu always called Song Min "Master". She was his only disciple.
Lin Youqian was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to address his stepfather. Calling him Dad was out of his mind. Calling him Uncle seemed a bit out of place, and he couldn't just follow Qi Xu and call him Master.
However, Song Min felt that the atmosphere was too cold, so he spoke before him.
"Xiao Lin, you're here!"
Lin Youqian politely pulled the corners of his lips, forced out an awkward smile, and said something ridiculous.
"Hello, Ms. Wen's husband."
What kind of address is this? It confused everyone. Does he have to call Song Min "Ms. Wen's husband" every time he sees her?
Song Min was very satisfied with this title, which showed that he supported Ms. Wen being with him.
"My last name is Song, you can call me Uncle Song."
Lin Youqian nodded and changed his address. "Uncle Song. From now on, I'll leave my mother in your care."
Song Min and Wen Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Lin Youqian really accepted their union.
"Thank you, Ah You. I promise that I will love her and treat her well forever."
Song Min also changed his name.
He was originally worried that his stepson had a bad temper and was too aggressive, which would make him dissatisfied and embarrassed.
Unexpectedly, Lin Youqian's personality is not as arrogant and unkind as the rumors say. Instead, he is very respectful and polite to him.
"This is a gift for you, I hope you like it."
Song Min was flattered and accepted the gift box, smiling happily. "I like it, I like it. It's from Ah You, I like it very much."
He also prepared a red envelope, but he didn't dare to take it out before. Now he has no scruples.
"It's our first meeting, and this is a little gift from my uncle. I hope you don't mind it."
Song Min prepared two red envelopes, one for Qi Xu and one for Lin Youqian.
After Lin Youqian took it, he gave it directly to Qi Xu. "Wife, keep it well and save it."
After dinner, everyone from the Song family came over. In addition to meeting Lin Youqian, they mainly came to report work progress to Qi Xu and discuss the next steps for the company's expansion.
Only then did Lin Youqian realize that Qi Xu had invested all the money in his card and started a new group company.
Its scale of development is comparable to that of the Shanglin Group. It's just that it hasn't yet made a name for itself and entered the world of business families. However, its projects and branches have already been fully deployed across the country.
And he is steady and steady, low-key and steady.
Looking at her sitting in the first seat, chatting with these world-class business CEOs, and making various precise decisions and judgments on those projects, reports, programs and plans, Lin Youqian was deeply attracted by her.
The corners of his mouth were raised and couldn't stop for a moment.
I always thought she was a delicate and soft little woman, but I didn't expect that she had such a smart, decisive, domineering and strong side.
That charming demeanor is irresistible.
Especially when she slammed the table and said, "No. This project is too risky, PSSS will fail", it was so cool.
Even Old Man Song and Song Min had no choice but to obey her.
Because she said, "I make the final decision on all major company decisions. There's no question about that. If I say no, it's no. You have no right to object."
"Although we are family, I don't want this kind of usurpation of power to happen again."
Mr. Song said, "Mr. An, you misunderstood. I'm not overstepping my bounds. I just think that project has great potential. So I wanted to discuss it with you."
Qi Xu rejected it outright. "I said no, no discussion."
"As for the reason, I'm the chairman, and I have the final say. You have no right to object, only to obey. As for the project you mentioned, it has no potential value. If you don't believe me, the market will give you the answer in three months."
Since Qi Xu said no, she must have a point. Mr. Song humbly asked for advice.
"Okay, I will absolutely obey Mr. Xiao An's orders. But can you please tell me why I can't do it? And let me lose clearly."
Qi Xu asked him. "You only focus on the international situation. Have you read the domestic news? Have you read the latest cultural policies? Do you understand the hidden messages there?"
"If things go as expected, the government will restrict your project in September this year. my country is currently focusing on promoting and inheriting traditional culture and supporting state-owned enterprises in independent research and development of technology. We want to export, not import."
"Understood?"
"Also, the focus of our future development will be domestically, not internationally. I know you've lived abroad before and have abundant overseas resources. However, I don't plan to expand globally. It's enough for me to establish a solid foundation in my home country and build a successful business."
"Therefore, all parts of the proposals and plans you just submitted involving overseas markets and Sino-foreign joint ventures will be completely cut out and will not be considered at all."
Mr. Song was still a little reluctant. "Cut it all off! Such a good resource, people can't even beg for it, why don't you want it?"
Qi Xu said decisively.
"No, you can't chew too much. I don't have the energy to fly overseas all year round. Our goods and products can be exported. But all companies must be based in China. The external situation is unstable right now, so don't take any risks."
At this time, after hearing what Qi Xu said, Uncle Song quickly checked the news and showed it to Grandpa Song.
"Dad, look, what Mr. An said is right. Our decision was indeed wrong."
Old Master Song raised his hand in praise. "Boss An, you truly are the female Zhuge Liang of the business world. I admire you, Old Master. From now on, your word is ironclad. I promise to obey you without a word."
Qi Xu smiled.
"No, if you have different opinions, you should actively express them. Sometimes my decisions aren't necessarily entirely correct. So, we need to discuss it. I will consider your opinions and weigh them carefully. However, the final decision must be made by me."
Old Master Song also warned his descendants with a smile.
"The sea embraces all rivers, and the more tolerant it is, the more generous it is. Mr. An, the third brother is right, you are indeed a business genius. Following you is the best decision our Song family has ever made."
Qi Xu signed the confirmed project plans and handed them over with both hands.
“Only by working together can we go further! Let’s work hard together!”
After finishing the business discussion, Lin Youqian privately praised his wife. "Qiqi, you are amazing."
"Even I want to join you."
No wonder Ms. Wen liked this little guy so much as soon as he entered the house. It turned out that his mother was not choosing a wife for him, but was looking for a successor to the group for herself.
His mother's vision is really vicious.
