Chapter 1090: Chapter 1091: Unpopular Real Daughter 34
Before making this call, Song Weikang already expected Zhang Yu’s attitude wouldn’t be pleasant, and the words would likely be harsh.
But he didn’t imagine that Zhang Yu’s words would be so unbearably harsh.
After angrily hanging up, Song Weikang kept repeating, “Unfilial daughter, unfilial daughter, how could the Song family produce such an unfilial daughter.”
Song Dafa, seeing Song Weikang so enraged, was also quite frightened, “Old Master, Old Master.”
If something were to happen to the old master, Song Dafa didn’t even dare to think how Song Shijian would punish him, just because he didn’t go along with Chairman Song’s wishes and report the old master’s situation to him, having already targeted him multiple times for it.
Feeling discomfort in his chest, Song Weikang dared not complain further and took a deep breath, “Go call Ziming back.”
Song Weikang remembered that Song Ziming had visited Harbor City once before, but didn’t mention in detail why he went, and he couldn’t ask too elaborately.
After all, the kid’s grown up and needs some face; one has to give kids some space.
It seems now that he went over there to seek investment but returned empty-handed, becoming a laughingstock in Harbor City in the process.
This made Song Weikang very angry; he hoped Zhang Yu was deceiving him, but he knew that Zhang Yu would never mess with him on this issue because a simple investigation would reveal the truth.
When Song Ziming received a call from Song Dafa, he was wondering what happened to the old master again and why he was being summoned over.
Song Ziming wanted to ask Song Dafa why the old master was calling him this time so that he could at least prepare a bit.
But who is Song Dafa? Even if Song Shijian asked him, he couldn’t dig anything out, let alone Song Ziming.
Without getting any results, Song Ziming had no choice but to drive to the old residence, clueless. He had thought over many things along the way but couldn’t pinpoint anything; he could only decide to assess the situation upon arrival.
Just as Song Ziming arrived at the old residence and greeted the old master, he heard the old master immediately ask, “Why did you go to Harbor City in June?”
Ah, was the old master asking him about this matter? Song Ziming was instantly dumbfounded; he had thought of many things along the way but hadn’t recalled this one.
Things had been over for three months; why would the old master bring this up now?
Did the old master know the reason? Even though the old master had now retired, Song Ziming never dared underestimate him.
Truly, the old master’s network wasn’t something they could imagine; having connections in Harbor City wasn’t surprising.
Despite not wanting to recall that dark moment, since the old master asked, Song Ziming could only briefly mention why he went to Harbor City.
Song Weikang was prepared, for example, knowing the heir of Song’s in Harbor City turned out to be nothing.
But unexpectedly, the situation described by Song Ziming was even worse.
“They, they actually looked down on Song’s like that.”
“Even though Song’s is of average strength in The South, still, Song’s isn’t that bad, how could they look down on us like that.”
Song Weikang knew on the surface people were looking down on Song Ziming, but wasn’t it just the same for Song’s?
This made Song Weikang furious, “How did you end up like this?”
“You went to Harbor City to raise investments, but no one would invest in you.”
Song Weikang had never thought that the heir he nurtured with his own hands would be inferior to a wild girl growing up outside.
“Even Zhang Yu could join investment circle events in Harbor City.” People in Harbor City were somewhat repulsed by people coming from the Mainland.
But of course, if your strength was strong enough, they respected strength, implying Zhang Yu was doing quite well in Harbor City.
It was Zhang Yu who informed the old master. Song Ziming was genuinely shocked, “Did Zhang Yu tell you?”
“It wasn’t your old friends who told you?” Just earlier, Song Ziming felt displeased, thinking the old master’s friends were laughing at him.
But unexpectedly, the situation was even worse; it wasn’t the old master’s friends who said it, but Zhang Yu brought it up.
Speaking of this name, Song Ziming was well aware; she was his biological younger sister.
As for this sister, Song Ziming never had a good feeling toward her, thinking she was an instigator of troubles.
For the past few months, he hadn’t heard her name—Song Ziming thought the old master had given up on her—only to find out unexpectedly, the old master was still in contact with her.
What infuriated him more was that the old master claimed he wasn’t as good as Zhang Yu, which was unacceptable to Song Ziming.
Song Weikang noticed Song Ziming’s dissatisfaction, knowing this child had become somewhat arrogant, just like his father, Song Shijian.
The old master didn’t argue with Song Ziming, “Bring out that girl’s information.”
Even though Song Weikang didn’t specify which information, as a confidant, Song Dafa knew what Song Weikang meant.
Song Ziming glanced at the stack of information, thinking it might only contain unimportant things.
If it weren’t for the old master’s presence, Song Ziming truly wouldn’t want to open it, but now that the old master was here, he couldn’t disregard him.
Seeing Zhang Yu’s investments on the materials, Song Ziming’s eyes twinkled; could that girl really understand investments?
Song Ziming thought it amusing; a child from a humble family, what would she know about investments?
Oh, right, the stock market has been booming lately; that girl probably thought the market could make money and rushed in.
The stock market was indeed booming, but losses were also possible; Song Ziming believed that Zhang Yu must have had some dumb luck and made a little profit.
Casually flipping through the materials, Song Ziming was astonished at Zhang Yu’s maneuvers as he went page by page, looking at her operations and, of course, the profits.
Song Ziming was stunned; he understood why the old master spoke so highly of her; had he not been directly involved, he would truly say Zhang Yu was remarkable.
But being part of the comparison, he was naturally unwilling, “Did she operate it herself?”
Song Ziming constantly felt someone must have been guiding that girl; at best, it would be the old master right here.
Song Weikang looked at Song Ziming fearlessly, “It was during my investigation that I found out she withdrew money from the bank and put it into the stock market.”
“I had someone investigate.” Song Weikang didn’t find anything wrong with this operation, thinking it was all quite normal.
Song Ziming also didn’t sense anything amiss, quickly flipping to the back, finding out that within less than a year, Zhang Yu managed to quintuple her principal.
Such investment tactics—though Zhang Yu might have encountered a good opportunity, like a bull market and a thriving stock market—the investment profit and loss scenario, Song Ziming couldn’t even reach.
“Something’s off; now that she made money, why did she withdraw?” Song Ziming couldn’t understand why Zhang Yu would pull out if she was profiting.
“Take a look at when she withdrew.”
“She flew to Harbor City the night her college entrance exam ended.” Song Weikang was regretful, not having been monitoring Zhang Yu; otherwise, he would have surely found out the problem much earlier.
