It's probably true that one's appearance reflects one's inner self.
Li Qiyu was just thinking about Song Yi'an when the phone in the room rang.
The call was from Grandpa Song.
He got straight to the point.
"Xiaoyu, are you in the capital?"
"Yes, for work."
"Are you free today? I'll send a car to pick you up."
Li Qiyu glanced at Li Juan. In fact, she had nothing to do today. She had been to the museum and the archaeological site. Now she was just waiting for feedback from the company. If there were no more questions, she would go back.
Thinking of what Song Yi'an had said in the company before, that Grandpa Song had also sponsored *The Collection of Spring and Yu*, Li Qiyu nodded and said, "Okay, I've also been wanting to have a chat with you, Grandpa Song."
After hanging up the phone, Li Qiyu quickly called Song Yi'an, but his phone was always busy. One could imagine how busy he was.
However, she thought that Grandpa Song probably didn't have anything important to talk to her about. Li Qiyu instructed Li Juan, "Please help me contact Song Jiaye and tell him that Grandpa Song is looking for me."
Li Juan nodded.
The car arranged by Grandpa Song arrived quickly. Sitting in the front passenger seat was the same secretary who had come to pick up Li Qiyu last time. Seeing a familiar face, Li Qiyu's guard was lowered a bit.
On the other hand, Song Yi'an had no idea what was going on in the villa. At this moment, after returning a few important work calls, he put his phone on airplane mode.
He had to go all out.
This was a high - level meeting of the Song Group. The main topic of the meeting was who would take over the company after Grandpa Song retired. A bunch of sycophants surrounded Song Yunsheng and praised him, "Young Master Song, you've dedicated yourself to the company. We've all seen it. If Grandpa Song steps down, of course, you should be the boss of the company."
"Yes, Grandpa Song is getting old after all. In the future, we'll have to rely on Young Master Song."
Song Yunsheng was very pleased. After years of hard work, he had planted many of his own people in the company.
He had even managed to seize the throne before. Taking over the position of the boss of the Song Group was nothing.
Of course, not everyone supported him. There were also some opposing voices. Most of these people were the old - timers of the Song Group who had fought alongside Grandpa Song for many years and were absolutely loyal to him.
"Grandpa Song is still alive, and you're already eager to divide up the Song Group. What, are you all looking forward to his death?"
"Yes, we only follow Grandpa Song's arrangements."
...
Song Yunsheng cast a gloomy look at those old fogeys on the opposite side. He thought that as soon as he became the boss, he would definitely fire them first.
Song Yunsheng was full of confidence. He leaned back in his office chair and waited for Grandpa Song to arrive.
There were footsteps at the door. The door of the meeting room was pushed open, and a face that was strange to the others present but very familiar to Song Yunsheng appeared at the door of the office.
"Who are you? This is a meeting room. Non - high - level members of the Song Group are not allowed to enter. Please leave."
The executive sitting at the door, who had just flattered Song Yunsheng, looked at Song Yi'an walking in suspiciously and asked.
Song Yi'an was of course not intimidated by his words. He stood at the door and scanned everyone present, seeing expressions of doubt, wonder, or anger on their faces.
Song Yi'an gave a faint smile and introduced himself. "I guess you don't know me yet. Let me introduce myself. I'm Song Yi'an."
They might not recognize Song Yi'an's face, but they had all heard of him.
Wasn't this the little grandson that Grandpa Song had lost outside?
Before everyone could come to their senses, Song Yi'an dropped another bombshell.
"From now on, I will fully replace my grandfather, Mr. Song Bingjiang, to handle all the affairs of the Song Group. I hope you'll all take care of me in the future."
Naturally, there were some people who were unhappy, especially those who had supported Song Yunsheng just now. Their voices of opposition were the loudest.
"You're just a young lad. Do you know anything about business? Just because you say you're Song Yi'an, we're supposed to believe you?"
Since Song Yi'an dared to come, he was fully prepared.
"I called this meeting. I have here a share transfer agreement signed by Grandpa Song himself. You can check it."
When Song Yi'an put the share transfer agreement in front of everyone and they passed it around, the voices of opposition gradually died down.
Song Yi'an walked in and took the main seat.
"Since there are no objections to my identity, let's start the meeting now."
The meeting lasted for a full three hours.
For two of those hours, Song Yi'an was answering everyone's doubts. People were mainly skeptical about his identity, but with the contract signed by Grandpa Song right there, they had no choice but to believe.
However, this was also the biggest difference between the Song Group and other companies.
The Song Group was a family - owned enterprise. Grandpa Song was the most powerful person in the Song Group, and he had the right to decide who would inherit it.
Moreover, Song Yi'an's performance in this meeting was excellent. He knew when to advance and when to retreat. He was polite in the face of criticism, and his knowledge was solid. As soon as he came, he pointed out many problems that the Song Group currently had. What was even more commendable was that he didn't rush to make radical changes. Considering the leaderless situation of the Song Group, he basically took into account the feelings of all the employees, focusing on stability to ensure that there wouldn't be too much turmoil before an official notice about the heir was issued.
Especially those old ministers who had fought alongside Grandpa Song saw the shadow of Grandpa Song in Song Yi'an, and he even seemed to be better than his grandfather.
Of course, there were also some people with other thoughts. They thought that although there was Grandpa Song's contract, Grandpa Song hadn't shown up yet. They weren't sure if this person was really Song Yi'an.
Song Yi'an was making a great impression in the Song Group with his personal charm.
On the other hand, Li Qiyu also made Grandpa Song keep praising her in her new dress.
"Good, very good!" No wonder she was his granddaughter - in - law. Few people could match her grace.
After Li Qiyu met Grandpa Song, he took her to this private high - end custom - made clothing store and asked her to put on this dress.
Li Qiyu didn't understand why Grandpa Song was giving her a dress for no reason.
Grandpa Song saw the confusion on her face. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I just want to take you to meet some of my old friends."
Li Qiyu wasn't stupid. Since she was asked to change into a dress, this occasion of "meeting old friends" must be very formal.
Li Qiyu picked up her phone and wanted to send a message to Song Yi'an again. Grandpa Song saw what she was about to do and said with a smile, "Don't worry. He'll be there too."
