CHAPTER 1093: CHAPTER 1094: UNPOPULAR REAL DAUGHTER 37

"The most important thing is, after working so hard and diligently, the result ends up benefiting others."

Zhang Yu smiled at Song Ziming, "When one holds great power, with no one to challenge, I think that would be better."

"Of course, the premise is that you have already become the head of Song’s."

"Song Shijian is in good health. If he becomes the head of Song’s, he might hold it for a few years, it’s natural for anyone to want to stay in power longer."

"The old man also didn’t step down until he was 70, right?"

"If that’s the case, Song Shijian could remain in power for another 20 years."

"By the time he steps down, you’d only be in your forties, which is the prime age for achieving results."

"But it’s uncertain whether Song Shijian, who is reluctant to lose power, will delay his retirement."

"There’s also the possibility that he might be like the old man, stepping down as head but still pointing fingers from behind."

"Are the old man and his two sons on good terms now?" Zhang Yu knew that the disputes between Song Weikang and his father couldn’t possibly have no impact on Song Ziming.

Song Weikang and his father had different views on company matters, arguing incessantly, which also affected Song Ziming, and he was indeed worried.

Worried that when he becomes the head, whether Song Shijian would operate in the same way, the thought of still being suppressed by Song Shijian in his fifties made him feel very downcast.

"You probably lived quite glamorously at that time." Song Ziming recalled the money Zhang Yu made in the stock market, worried that in another twenty years, Zhang Yu might become a big shot in the investment circle.

If that happened, he, as the heir of Song’s, would become a big joke.

"I don’t know about glamorous. After all, the financial world changes greatly."

Zhang Yu couldn’t foresee future events. Having already moved away from the original environment, the future situation was indeed an unknown.

The only thing Zhang Yu could be certain of was, "I should be retired by then."

Then, I’ll just buy some stable retirement stocks and live a peaceful retired life.

"Just not sure, by that time, whether the Song Family would still be the wealthy Song Family." Zhang Yu felt that if Song’s didn’t change at all, it might fall apart.

Song Ziming originally thought that with great financial changes, no one could always make big money, one mistake could cost everything.

Song Ziming was hoping Zhang Yu would fall from grace and become a big joke in everyone’s eyes.

Before he could finish his wishful thinking, he heard Zhang Yu curiously asking about the Song Family 20 years later.

This almost made Song Ziming cough up blood, perceiving the greatest malice against Song’s in Zhang Yu’s words.

"By the way, is there a major project the Fu Family is developing? Any chance of collaboration with Song’s?"

"In the past, major projects of the Fu Family were in collaboration with Song’s. Why reach out to others this time?"

Since Song Qian and Fu Jie set their engagement, the relationship between the two families grew closer. If there was a need for collaboration on major projects, the other party was the first consideration.

But this time, the Fu Family had a billion-dollar project and was looking for a partner.

Zhang Yu was shocked when learning this, wondering if there had been a fallout?

What? The Fu Family had a billion-dollar project but didn’t approach Song’s, seeking partners outside, what could this mean?

Song Ziming never thought the Fu Family would bypass Song’s. Clearly, they were happy with past partnerships, why not consider Song’s now?

Song Ziming picked up the phone and called Song Shijian, asking him if he knew about this.

Song Ziming stepped aside to make the call, not wanting Zhang Yu to hear, even though the information was from Zhang Yu, he instinctively didn’t want her to know more.

Song Shijian had just learned about it himself and was furious in his office, cursing the Fu Family and Fu Jie, and even Song Qian wasn’t spared.

Song Shijian felt that ever since Song Qian went abroad, her contact with the family lessened, sure to stand on the Fu Family’s side.

When receiving Song Ziming’s call, Song Shijian was quite surprised, wondering how he knew about it.

Upon not hearing rebuttals from Song Shijian, Song Ziming asked how he knew, glancing at the quietly standing Zhang Yu beside him.

Song Ziming whispered, "Zhang Yu told me."

Song Shijian considered whether it was Song Qian who informed Song Ziming, given their good sibling relationship, or if the old man told him, as he favored his eldest grandson.

Never considering it was Zhang Yu who told Song Ziming, it made him very puzzled: "Are you in touch with her?"

Song Ziming then remembered, forgetting to mention it to Song Shijian, due to rushing off, briefly reported about the old man finding him the previous day.

Listening to Song Ziming talk about Zhang Yu, Song Shijian felt confused: "Son, did you hear incorrectly, Zhang Yu actually made millions in the stock market?"

Song Shijian: "She, she actually opened an investment company in Harbor City, really invested in projects?"

Feeling incredulous, wondering if he had a hearing problem, how else did he hear such explosive news?

Song Ziming helplessly replied, "Dad, you didn’t hear wrong. Grandpa investigated; that girl made a lot of money in her senior year of high school in the stock market."

Song Ziming: "After the college entrance exam, she immediately ran to Harbor City. Though unclear how much she made, she certainly entered the investment circle there."

Silent for a long time, Song Shijian: "You said the old man knew about this long ago?"

Song Ziming affirmed; "Yes, Grandpa wanted her to join the financial department of Song’s to make money for Song’s."

Understanding dawned on Song Shijian why the old man insisted on having Zhang Yu return despite his criticisms, simply because the girl could make money.

Feeling bewildered: "Since the girl has such capability, why couldn’t your grandpa just say it directly?"

Song Shijian: "Knowing she could earn money, I’d definitely have her come back."

Song’s current major issue was lacking funds; with money, upgrading production lines and investing in projects would be feasible.

Aggrieved, wondering why the old man couldn’t bring it up earlier when he already knew.

Song Shijian: "You should persuade Zhang Yu, as a child of the Song Family, she should return sooner."

After a pause, "Tell her she’s appointed as the deputy general manager of the financial department of Song’s.."

For the general manager position, of course, it would be Song Shijian’s confidant, as Zhang Yu, being inexperienced, required someone seasoned above.

Never expecting such an appointment for Zhang Yu, Song Ziming felt deeply resentful.

Recalling his own return to Song’s, having started from the bottom without any preferential treatment, only for Zhang Yu to directly become deputy general manager, naturally feeling displeased.
