Charlie nodded slightly, then attempted to leave directly.
Upon sensing trouble, Song Yi quickly stood up and stopped him, “The young girl doesn’t know any better. Don’t mind Xiao Xia. She was indeed rude. But Song Fan’s capabilities are excellent. You recognized that, and that’s why you have to cooperate with her, right? As her biological father, I naturally wholeheartedly support my daughter’s career. So, Song Fan will be in charge of this matter, and Song Corporation will fully cooperate.”
He then turned his head, angrily staring at Meng Xia. “What are you meddling in? Go back to your room! Don’t disrupt our family’s business. It’s none of your business!”
Although Song Yi spoke softly, each word struck Meng Xia’s heart. She truly didn’t understand where she had gone wrong. In the afternoon, Song Yi seemed to detest Song Fan to the bone. How did everything suddenly change after just a few hours?
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Charlie, but all she saw was his icy gaze. Meng Yu gently pulled on her clothes, and Meng Xia, biting her lip, tearfully ran back to her room.
After seeing her leave, Meng Yu breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly said, “It’s late now. I’ll prepare some supper. Let’s talk about things slowly. If you don’t mind, staying over is also fine. I’ll have someone prepare the rooms.”
Charlie, already disheartened by the recent events, coldly said, “Mrs. Song, that’s not necessary. I have other matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave. If Mr.
Gu is still interested in cooperating, we can arrange another meeting.”
He forced a smile at Song Fan. “I’ll leave now. We can discuss the details over the phone later.”
“Okay.” Song Fan nodded, escorting him out.
Upon returning to the hall, only Gu Chen and Song Yi remained. Meng Yu had also been sent away by Song Yi, fearing that she might inadvertently offend this potential benefactor.
“Mr. Gu, since you’re interested, I wonder how you’d like to cooperate?” Song Yi
was already calculating how much money Gu Chen might offer.
“Have you read the project proposal? Do you have detailed documents for the initial promotion? I also need to analyze the budget.” Gu Chen didn’t directly mention the amount of investment; instead, he posed a counter-question.
Gu Chen had already investigated Charlie’s recent actions. He agreed to cooperate with Song Fan, and Song Yi immediately accepted. It was impossible for him to go through the specific details. In the end, Song Fan would handle the project.
As expected, Song Yi felt awkward. He also realized that Gu Chen didn’t want to discuss the matter with him. When he saw Song Fan approaching, he quickly said, “My daughter knows the details best. Why don’t you two discuss it in my study? It’s quiet there. I’ll have someone bring you coffee and snacks.”
Gu Chen stood up. “No need. I wanted to talk to Song Fan about this. Now that the unnecessary people have left, do you have time?”
Song Fan didn’t understand why he suddenly became so angry. He didn’t even intend to feign a hypocritical expression and stared at her coldly.
“Fine, let’s go.” Song Fan nodded helplessly.
With a complex expression, Song Yi watched his daughter and the man leave together late at night. Still, he didn’t say much. He understood very well that if he wanted to connect with the Gu family, Song Fan was indispensable.
When they got in the car, Gu Chen only gestured to the driver to take them to the seaside. After the driver parked, he got out of the car.
Upon looking at him, Song Fan couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Gu, why are you bringing me here so late? Not even a midnight snack?”
“When did you become so close with him?” Gu Chen suddenly said without any context, leaving Song Fan puzzled.
“Charlie?”
Gu Chen sneered, “Why are you calling him by his name and sounds quite friendly. Weren’t you calling him Mr. Brown before?”
Upon hearing this, Song Fan rolled her eyes directly. Was this the first step of a primary school quarrel? She never expected that the usually aloof Gu Chen would find her for such a trivial matter.
As she thought about the online photos, she shrugged. “Isn’t it normal to call someone by their name directly in our country? As for the pictures online, I don’t know if he posted them, but it doesn’t make much sense, right? It doesn’t affect me; it’s just a waste of money.”
To her, even if there were rumors, the impact on her was minimal. She even thought that she could use this wave of attention to promote the new jewelry brand. She couldn’t afford to miss such a good opportunity.
However, Gu Chen gritted his teeth and said, “Because someone wants to undermine our relationship!”
