Seeing the disappointed look on Old Mr. Song's face, Song Yunsheng couldn't bear it.
"Old Mr. Song, actually Jiashe has no interest in the company. Why do you have to make things difficult for him? If you don't force him, maybe he'll still recognize you as his grandpa."
Old Mr. Song looked up and stared at Song Yunsheng for a couple of seconds, making Song Yunsheng feel uneasy.
"Old Mr. Song, why are you staring at me like this?"
Old Mr. Song waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Yunsheng, you've been by my side for quite a few years, haven't you?"
Song Yunsheng didn't understand why Old Mr. Song suddenly brought this up, but since he asked, he could only answer obediently, "Yes. It's been eight years in total."
Old Mr. Song nodded upon hearing this and said, "It's not easy."
At this moment, Song Yunsheng didn't forget to thank him. "I owe what I am today to your cultivation, sir."
"Good." Old Mr. Song praised repeatedly and said to Song Yunsheng, "Alright, don't stay here. Hurry up and go help them look for the kid. If the child really goes missing, it'll be a big problem."
"Okay."
Song Yunsheng obediently withdrew.
After Song Yunsheng left, the old secretary who had been standing behind Old Mr. Song like a background figure stepped forward and respectfully reminded him, "Old Mr. Song, don't miss this opportunity."
"But just as Yunsheng said, if I push him too hard, it'll backfire. Maybe as soon as I announce his identity, he'll publicly declare to sever ties with the Song family."
Hearing this, the old secretary could only sigh.
"If it was really Song Jiashe who made the little grandson of the Mingyue family go missing, he might very well do something like severing ties. But Old Mr. Song, don't fully trust Song Yunsheng."
Old Mr. Song nodded. The old secretary knew him best. Old Mr. Song coldly commented, "What Song Yunsheng said was not out of kindness for Jiashe. He just doesn't want Jiashe to come back and inherit the family business so that he can become the real heir of the Song family after I'm gone. A foster son, but he has quite an ambition."
"Old Mr. Song, be careful not to raise a tiger that will cause trouble."
"But this tiger still has to be raised. Otherwise, the family fortune will be given away for free to those ungrateful people in the clan." Just thinking about this gave Old Mr. Song a headache. "Why is that child Jiashe so disobedient?"
The secretary didn't comment.
He couldn't very well say that Old Mr. Song had brought this upon himself.
Since he couldn't contradict his boss and didn't want to say something insincere, he could only shut up and stay quietly.
On the other side, after going out, Song Yunsheng didn't rush to look for the child with the others. Instead, he first went to find Li Xichi, who was sulking in a corner.
Song Yunsheng brought a glass of orange juice and offered it to Li Xichi. Li Xichi was in a bad mood and thought it was a waiter. Without even looking, she waved him away.
"Go away. Can't you see I'm in a bad mood?"
"I know. That's why I'm here to apologize to Miss Li."
Hearing Song Yunsheng's voice, Li Xichi turned around in surprise and looked at him.
"Mr. Song?"
"Calling me Mr. Song sounds a bit strange." Saying this, he reached out his hand to Li Xichi. "Let's formally get to know each other. My name is Song Yunsheng. You can just call me Yunsheng, miss."
Even if Li Xichi wasn't very smart, she couldn't be so intimate with someone she had just met and call him Yunsheng.
So she compromised and said, "Mr. Song Yunsheng, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Song Yunsheng lifted the glass of orange juice in his hand and said with a smile, "I've already said that I'm here to apologize. I wonder if the miss can forgive my rudeness just now."
Thinking about what had happened in the second - floor meeting room just now and the order Song Yunsheng had given her to leave, Li Xichi naturally felt embarrassed. But facing Song Yunsheng, the possible future person in power of the Song family, she couldn't show a bad attitude. She could only suppress her grievance and say, "It's okay."
"Then I'll thank Miss Li for her generosity first." Song Yunsheng stood beside Li Xichi and watched the chaos outside the window as people were looking for Li Tong.
Song Yunsheng explained, "My adoptive father is just like this. If Miss Song hadn't left then, my adoptive father would have disliked you even more."
As soon as she heard the word "dislike", Li Xichi's heart skipped a beat.
Actually, she regretted it when she thought about it later.
It was just that the opportunity was really hard to come by. When Li Xiyu was around, she couldn't get a word in edge - ways. She had tried several times but failed. At that time, only she and Old Mr. Song's people were in the room. It was the best time to get closer, so she was a bit too eager for quick success.
It was no wonder she was in a hurry.
Such opportunities only came a few times in a lifetime.
Thinking of this, Li Xichi lowered her head.
"It doesn't matter whether Old Mr. Song likes me or not."
She was able to meet Old Mr. Song today because of the Li and Mingyue families. Old Mr. Song wasn't from this city and wouldn't hold banquets here every day. It would be hard to meet him again in the future.
"Who said it doesn't matter? Does Miss Li not want to be the spokesperson for Song Corporation?"
As soon as she heard this, Li Xiyu, whose eyes had been dull, immediately perked up.
"What did you say?"
"Didn't Miss Li stay until the end for this? Did I guess wrong?" Song Yunsheng deliberately said.
Li Xichi quickly said, "Of course not! I... I mean, do I really still have a chance?"
Li Xichi was so excited that she was a bit incoherent.
Song Yunsheng nodded and said, "Of course. Although my adoptive father is in charge of Song Corporation, I handle all the big and small matters in the company. My opinion is different from my adoptive father's. I think Miss Xichi's image and temperament are more in line with our company's positioning."
Hearing this, Li Xichi's heart was about to jump out of her throat.
She looked at Song Yunsheng in disbelief.
"Is what you said true?"
Song Yunsheng smiled and said, "Of course. Miss Li, you're so outstanding. You should believe in yourself."
As he said this, Song Yunsheng took out a business card and handed it to Li Xichi. "I'm busy today. This is my business card. Miss Li can add me on WeChat. When there's an opportunity in the future, we can have a good talk about cooperation."
Hearing this, Li Xichi was overjoyed. She quickly took the business card and thanked him repeatedly.
Song Yunsheng didn't say much. After saying goodbye to Li Xichi, he walked away. Li Xichi held the business card and was overjoyed. She quickly took a photo and sent it to her mother.
Mom, look. This is Song Yunsheng's business card. He said I can be the spokesperson for Song Corporation. Am I dreaming?
Jiang Yongfeng quickly replied to her, "Aren't you being scammed? Are you sure this is Song Yunsheng's business card?"
"Of course. Song Yunsheng handed it to me personally!"
Li Xichi was overjoyed and didn't notice that Song Yunsheng hadn't gone far. He had been watching her through a window, his eyes full of doubt.
