CHAPTER 1096: CHAPTER 1097: UNPOPULAR REAL DAUGHTER 40

Song Weikang was stunned when he received the news from the Fu Family.

Surprised as he was, he promptly contacted the Old Master of the Fu Family to discuss the matter.

Song Weikang had never expected that, just when the heir of the Fu Family was already decided, another competitor would emerge at this time.

And the opponent was quite aggressive; Song Weikang did not dare to bet that the Fu Family would definitely support Fu Jie.

Song Weikang merely wanted a guarantee from the Old Master of the Fu Family, but after the call, Old Master Song really seemed much older.

Song Shijian noticed the old master’s expression wasn’t good and realized that the situation at the Fu Family was likely beyond their previous expectation.

Song Weikang hung up the phone, "Have Fu Jie deliver even better results."

"Uncle Fu Jie brought up the last case, saying that if Fu Jie hadn’t insisted on cooperating with the Song Family, the project wouldn’t have lost money."

Remembering that case infuriated Song Weikang, who looked angrily at Song Shijian, "You tell me, such a good plan, anyone could see it was a sure moneymaker."

"Yet we somehow lost money." Of course, Song Weikang knew why the project had lost money.

"I don’t understand, with so many in the Song Family, why couldn’t you assign them? You had to bring in an outsider, and so a good project like that ended up losing money."

"Fu Jie is the heir designated by Old Master Fu, but he still has a few uncles. Would they willingly let Fu Jie succeed?"

Song Weikang could understand the discontent of Fu Jie’s uncles. Being the old master’s sons as well, why couldn’t they compete with a nephew?

"Outwardly it seems that it’s Fu Jie’s cousin stepping up, but actually, all of Fu Jie’s other uncles have united."

"Fu Jie is capable, but confronted with his uncles..." Song Weikang knew that even though Fu Jie’s uncles weren’t in high positions in the company, having worked at Fu’s for years, they surely had their own networks.

"We must step in," Song Shijian and Song Ziming said in unison.

After all, at this time, if the Song’s didn’t show support, wouldn’t it break Fu Jie’s heart?

And once Fu Jie fails to outfight that cousin, it’s obvious his status in Fu’s would plummet.

Trying to suppress the opposition again would be quite challenging.

Song Weikang thought for a moment and recalled that Zhang Yu had also invested in a similar project, and it seemed she had quite the luck.

"Xiaoming, I remember you went to Harbor City before to attract investment for this project." Song Weikang knew time was tight now, and some projects should begin, rather than be delayed further.

Song Ziming was initially pondering how to ask for Song Weikang’s investment approval.

He hadn’t expected that without even speaking up, Song Weikang would bring it up himself, which couldn’t help but delight Song Ziming.

Song Ziming nodded repeatedly, going over the project details and, of course, more importantly, the estimated investment needed.

Song Weikang was already prepared that this project would require a significant investment, but he was stunned when he heard about the required amount from Song Ziming.

"Just that much?" Song Weikang looked at Song Ziming in disbelief. If the funding gap was just that small, was it necessary to go all the way to Harbor City?

Song Weikang glanced at Song Shijian, "Is the company really so short on money?"

Song Shijian hesitated slightly; this was a hard question to answer. Should he say he was just trying to suppress Song Ziming?

Such words definitely couldn’t be spoken, or there would be severe consequences.

Song Weikang stared at Song Shijian for a long while, until the latter dared not lift his head; the old master also sighed gently.

He knew Song Shijian was probably unhappy with his arrangements, but he hadn’t expected that this guy would disregard the company’s issues for personal gain.

The old master could understand Song Shijian’s caution against his siblings, but acting like this even with his only son?

Recalling what Zhang Yu had mentioned on the phone, about how he was always calculating ways to support his own daughters and nieces, wasn’t he worried that Song Shijian and the rest would mimic him when seeing this?

At that time, Song Weikang had confidently said that wouldn’t happen, because he was quite good to his brothers.

Yet the face slap came so fast, and Song Weikang sighed again gently, wondering if this was fate.

Song Shijian heard the sigh from Song Weikang, but he truly felt he hadn’t done anything wrong.

Song Weikang did not expect this son to recognize his mistakes, "Come up with a plan for me to personally invest."

"Since the Song’s is tight on funds, let’s not have the Song’s put up the money." Song Weikang didn’t want to argue with Song Shijian about why such a large Song’s didn’t have enough funds.

Asking such a question would seem aggressive.

"Alright, alright." Song Ziming was originally planning to hand the well-prepared proposal to the old master, but thought better of it and held back.

If he pulled out the proposal right in front of Song Shijian, it would certainly agitate the old man.

Hearing the old master saying he would personally invest, Song Shijian also breathed a sigh of relief, even though he knew it was the old master’s warning to him, so be it.

Sitting in the car returning to the company, Song Shijian reminded Song Ziming, "Since the old man is personally investing, you should know what to do."

"Your uncles have their eyes on what your grandpa holds; even though grandpa speaks about me being the eldest son, he treats your uncles well too."

"You need to strive to turn the shares Grandpa invests into your own."

"As long as you make this company big and strong, the old man will be pleased, and who knows, you might receive even more."

Song Shijian knew he frequently defied the old man’s words, "Your grandpa might not give me much."

"But I don’t mind, even if I don’t get it, as long as you do."

"Also, since Zhang Yu doesn’t want to have dealings with the Song Family, you shouldn’t contact her much either."

Recalling Zhang Yu’s words provoked Song Shijian, "Doesn’t she realize, without your mom and me, how could she have been born?"

"Now that her wings have hardened, she dares to speak such words openly."

Thinking of Zhang Yu’s words made Song Shijian angry, "She just made a little money in the stock market and is strutting around."

"Doesn’t she realize, no matter how much she earns, how can it compare to the Song Family?"

"Never mind the old family’s wealth, your grandpa made Song’s enormous, with an unknown fortune."

"If your grandpa were bolder and wanted to make it onto the rich list, he could definitely rank in the top ten."

Speaking of this, Song Shijian couldn’t help but sigh, "Back then, the Song Family was so glorious."

"Everyone wanted to collaborate with the Song Family, unlike now, when even a nouveau riche like the Liao Family dares to show us attitude."

"Son, you need to perform well to show Fu Jie and the Fu Family that our old Song Family still has a solid foundation."
