Chapter 1148: Chapter 1149 The Unwelcome True Daughter 92

After Song Ziming hung up Zhang Yu’s call, he was really angry. Of course, he couldn’t accept it and wanted to prove himself.

Isn’t it just investment? Even if Zhang Yu doesn’t bring him in, there are still other investors.

But when it really came to investing, Song Ziming hesitated. If there was a problem with the IT company’s investment, that was company funds, it wouldn’t come from his own pocket, so he wouldn’t be troubled.

But if his own investment company faced losses, then it would really be his own money at stake.

Ever since the incident, Song Ziming had kept a large sum of money on hand, just in case something went wrong.

If the investments fail multiple times, that emergency fund would be gone too.

But then, if an investment hit the mark, you could really make a lot of money.

What to do? Song Ziming really couldn’t make up his mind and didn’t know who to turn to.

After thinking it over, he decided to ask Song Weikang.

Song Weikang knew that the chances of Zhang Yu involving Song Ziming were slim, but he didn’t expect it to be for such a reason.

Thinking about his own grandson’s investment experiences, Song Weikang had to admit that even though Zhang Yu’s words were harsh, they made a lot of sense.

If it weren’t the wrong time, he would have laughed: Xiao Ming, I think Zhang Yu is quite right.

Song Ziming did not expect even his grandfather to say this, and his mood soured: Grandpa, why are you also picking on me?

Song Weikang: I’m not picking on you; it’s just that Zhang Yu is right. Look at the projects you’ve invested in; how many of them are good?

Song Weikang: And about your previous idea to invest in the Fu Family’s new energy, I’ve been thinking these days, and I really feel it’s not good.

Why is this topic jumping around? Song Ziming felt like he really couldn’t keep up with Song Weikang’s pace.

Song Ziming: Didn’t you say before that investing in new energy was good, so why now?

He had consulted the old man before, and the latter also thought the project was good; why the opposition now?

Song Ziming couldn’t understand why things had turned out this way.

Song Weikang: Well, how should I put it? The people of the Fu Family, when it comes to internal strife, they are experts.

Song Weikang: But ask them to run a business, and really.

Song Ziming wondered if it was because of the earlier fallout with the Fu Family that led to Song Weikang having so many opinions and dissatisfaction with them.

Song Ziming: Didn’t they also manage Fu’s pretty well? Look at last year’s profit.

Anyway, Song Ziming felt that Fu’s was run better than Song’s.

Listening to Song Ziming continuously praise Fu’s, Song Weikang really had a headache.

Now, Song Weikang understood why Zhang Yu wouldn’t bring Song Ziming to invest together. If it were him, he wouldn’t take Song Ziming either.

Song Weikang: You say Fu’s industry is great, have you ever looked at their financial reports?

When Song Ziming heard this, he immediately understood why the old man was saying that: It’s just that the debt is a bit high. Grandpa, that’s just how the real estate industry is.

Song Ziming: Besides, didn’t our family also have a lot of debts before?

Song Ziming felt that Song Weikang was just acting on personal feelings: Forget it, Grandpa, I know what to do.

After casually chatting with Song Weikang for a couple of sentences, he hung up the phone directly, “The old man is really getting old.”

Song Ziming kept shaking his head, thinking he couldn’t always rely on the old man for guidance because he simply couldn’t keep up with the times.

Listening to the beep from the phone, Song Weikang knew that Song Ziming wouldn’t listen to him.

“Kids grow up, we’re getting old, and they think we’ve fallen behind.” Song Weikang said gloomily.

“This kid, just as stubborn as his dad.” Song Weikang picked up a document and reviewed it.

“By the way, we’re a bit short-staffed at home; let’s hire two more people.” Song Weikang thought for a moment.

Song Dafa was quite surprised; ever since the old master came back from the hospital, he had let go of several people, thinking it would be good to save a bit more.

The old master could have enjoyed his later years but still occasionally dealt in the stock market, just hoping to earn more money to leave something for them.

Now with such a statement, could it be? Song Dafa didn’t dare to think.

“Dafa, I think your eldest son isn’t very reliable.” Song Weikang looked at the report.

“Even though you have other sons and daughters, you, like me, focused all your energy on nurturing the eldest among the other children.”

Recalling how he educated several children, Song Weikang felt a deep regret, “I’m giving you a house and a commercial space; I’ve already discussed it with the lawyer.”

“Find some time to transfer the ownership, then rent out the house and the shop.”

“Regardless of whether they’re sons or daughters, their filial piety is not important; what’s important is, if you have money in hand, they will treat you well.” Song Weikang saw things very clearly now.

“If you have a house and a shop, regardless of when, even if they don’t care about you, at least you won’t need to worry about old age issues.”

“The grandchildren grow up, they have their own ideas, so don’t expect them to be very filial.”

Song Weikang’s words made Song Dafa uneasy, feeling a sense of ominousness.

“Master.” Song Dafa was trembling as he spoke.

Hearing the trembling in his old companion’s voice, Song Weikang looked up, “Why be sad? Everyone will have this day, sooner or later.”

“I used to worry about this and that, worry about the future of Song’s.”

“Now I’ve figured it out; since I’ve already resigned from Song’s, there’s no need to worry about its future.”

“Good or bad, the Song’s I left them was prosperous, and now if it’s deteriorating, that’s their problem.”

“I shouldn’t bother too much; I’m just a retired old man.”

“From now on, let’s not worry about their affairs, and let’s just peacefully live out our days here.”

After calculating the money he had, Song Weikang thought that even if he spent lavishly, it would last a long time.

Song Dafa acknowledged, “Thank you, Master.”

“Thank you for what.” Song Weikang didn’t want to hear these words from Song Dafa, “You’ve been by my side since you were young, always with me.”

“Maybe you’ll also accompany me to the end.” Song Weikang stood up and patted him on the shoulder, “Make an appointment for a medical check-up.”

“By the way, you should come along.” Song Weikang indicated that he wasn’t short of money but of people who genuinely cared for him.

Song Dafa’s eyes reddened, “Alright.”

“Let’s take care of each other.”

Even though the members of the Song Family didn’t frequently visit the old master anymore, they still stayed informed about his activities.

For example, the old man scheduled a top-tier medical check-up. Normally, they wouldn’t be surprised, but they didn’t expect him to also include Song Dafa, which infuriated them.

They often commented that the old man was just senile, taking an old companion for a check-up instead of his children and grandchildren.

But they didn’t dare say these things in front of the old master.

Then, the old man spent a large sum renovating the old house, hired people to redesign the garden, and even employed two gardeners.

Moreover, they hired two more domestic helpers, as well as a retired nurse to be a family caregiver.
