Chapter 383: Inviting Miss Song
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Song Yi had long known that the Brown family abroad resembled more of a mafia-like entity, and Charlie was not as amiable as he appeared.
Unexpectedly, he revealed his true colors so quickly, showing no respect to Song Yi.
However, Song Yi was aware of the methods of the Brown family. Suppressing his fear and anger, he humbly said, “Mr. Brown, I did not deceive you. Just now, Song Fan was feeling a bit unwell. You know how delicate girls can be. She’ll be here shortly.”
At this point, Song Yi no longer cared about the opinions of others. He had to secure this collaboration; otherwise, offending two major conglomerates at once would make Song Corporation face obstacles at every turn. Entering the international market would become an even more distant prospect.
His secretary, skilled in reading the situation, immediately followed when Gu Chen left the meeting room. By intercepting him, she managed to bring him back after some persuasion.
Returning to the large meeting room, Gu Chen witnessed the scene. However, his contempt for Song Yi did not diminish.
“Song Fan is unwell? If she’s unwell, why did she come to work?” Gu Chen deliberately brought up Song Yi’s words from earlier. He felt uncomfortable thinking about the treatment Song Fan might have received at home with such a father.
“Yes, she’s unwell.” Song Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, smiling apologetically. “You all know how hands-on this child is. She worked through several nights for this collaboration. You’re all her friends; you can’t bear to see her efforts go to waste, right?”
Charlie couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He hadn’t expected the chairman of Song Corporation to be so shameless. Song Yi had intended to sideline Song Fan just now.
Sun Yang, the general manager of the Marketing Department, stood up and sternly addressed Lan Yue, “Didn’t you hear what Mr. Song said? Hurry and go bring Miss Song here. How long are you going to stand there?”
“Understood!” Lan Yue hurriedly left the meeting room, but as soon as she stepped out, the smile on her face faded. Running all the way, she reached Song Fan’s office.
At that moment, Song Fan was having breakfast. With a piece of bread in her mouth, she frowned when she saw Lan Yue rushing in. “So fast?”
She knew that Charlie and Gu Chen wouldn’t sign contracts with Song Yi or Meng Xia. She hadn’t expected them to act so swiftly, putting Song Yi in a losing position.
“If we don’t hurry, your dad’s reputation will have nowhere to go.” Lan Yue was straightforward, picking up the milk on the table and drinking more than half. She then briefly recounted the situation and excitedly said, “You didn’t see your father’s expression. I feel like even if Charlie spat on his face, he would’ve just wiped it off and continued.”
Just after saying this, she regretted it. After all, he was Song Fan’s father, and speaking like this seemed inappropriate.
Unexpectedly, Song Fan nodded. “You understand him well. He can indeed do such things for the sake of his interests.”
Sticking her tongue out, Lan Yue asked, “Should we keep them waiting for a while? Sign the contract tomorrow?”
Thinking about the regretful expressions of those in the meeting room, Lan Yue felt excited. But suddenly, she remembered someone. “Right, boss, the general manager of the Marketing Department, Sun Yang, that bald old man, asked me to bring you. I checked; he used to work for the Yu family and has been in Song Group as the manager of the marketing department.”
Entering the company was not just for establishing a jewelry brand; Song Fan was also here to investigate some matters related to her mother’s death and what Charlie had mentioned. She took a deep breath, realizing that she had taken the right step. In the first confrontation, someone had already taken a stand.
“Keep an eye on him,” Song Fan ordered as she stood up, picking up a folder.
“Call Li Na and the others. Let’s go to the meeting room together.”
Lan Yue, with a piece of bread in her mouth, thought that waiting a bit longer would make Song Yi anxious, but Song Fan was ready to go.
Tearing off a piece of bread, Song Fan said, “After signing the contract, I’ll treat you all to a big meal. Let’s hurry.”
“I want abalone and lobster. I’ll eat whatever is expensive!” Lan Yue joyfully grabbed the half-eaten bread back from Song Fan and quickly stuffed it into her mouth. Then, with excitement, she went out to call Li Na and the others.
Song Fan secretly tightened the folder in her hand. It seemed that her future in Song Corporation wouldn’t be smooth..
