King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

Although Lin Lan and I embraced and wept in the storage room, our emotions were in turmoil...

But we all had a tacit understanding: this was Xu Meijuan's home, and besides, there were many people around, so whether it was my scolding or Lin Lan's crying... we all restrained ourselves and didn't make too much noise!

I don't know which 'blind' person just pushed the door open!

Lin Lan and I turned our heads and saw that it was Xu Meitong...

Xu Meitong was also shocked to see Lin Lan and me hugging each other, and quickly closed the door!

"Meitong! What's wrong?" I asked, frowning as I released Lin Lan's arm.

"Uh... Uncle Song asked me to call you over!"

Xu Meitong said awkwardly from outside the door, "I heard from the nanny that you seemed to be in the storage room..."

"Okay, you go ahead, I'll be right there!"

"Okay...okay!"

......

"husband!"

After Xu Meitong left, Lin Lan looked at me with a serious expression, as if facing a formidable enemy, and said earnestly, "Now that we've laid everything bare... it's time to 'hide your true identity'! You absolutely mustn't reveal your identity! It's not time yet! Just maintain a tacit understanding with Song Guolong! Your real opponents... aren't insignificant figures like Xu Shaokun or Xiao Bo! They're not even worth mentioning... Husband! You are my hero! You must remain calm and composed! A true man should be able to bend and stretch, and plan for the long term! Don't act impulsively! Keep the big picture in mind!"

I wiped away Lin Lan's tears and comforted her, "Don't worry! I know what I'm doing and I know what to do."

"husband!"

Lin Lan threw herself into my arms again, hugging me tightly, burying her face in my chest, and taking a deep breath: "Don't worry about me! Once a man gets caught up in matters of the heart, his heroic spirit falters! You have to be able to take it and let it go! You can only win! You can't lose! If you advance, you win everything; if you retreat, you're doomed... Do you understand?"

"Um!"

I held Lin Lan tightly, frowned, and nodded.

I've discovered that after three years apart... Lin Lan has changed!

She's no longer the soft, sweet, and innocent girl she used to be. These two sentences... have quite the fierce and ruthless style of the Song family!

"Lanlan, your safety and Duoduo's safety..."

"husband!"

Lin Lan sniffed, a sly glint in her eyes: "Don't worry! The housekeeper at Xu Shaokun's house... was arranged by our dad! Xu Shaokun only left a nanny 'informant' to keep an eye on me, Duoduo, and Xiaojuan! The bodyguard responsible for protecting me was also personally arranged by Dad..."

"Oh my god..." I gasped!

"The butler discovered the bomb incident long ago and defused it in the garage..."

Lin Lan wiped away her tears again, revealing a mischievous smile: "We were just playing along, deliberately driving that Beetle... staging a 'safety accident' so that Dad could blackmail the Xu family!"

"Oh...I see!"

I suddenly realized what was going on and exclaimed, "You guys really pulled off a flawless maneuver! Lin Lan, you're calling Song Guolong 'Dad' now, and you're doing it quite affectionately, aren't you?"

Hearing my slightly sarcastic tone, Lin Lan frowned, bit her lip, and lowered her head: "No matter what... he is, after all, Duoduo's biological grandfather! Even if the relationship between our generation is complicated, I should call him 'Dad' out of both affection and reason!"

After exchanging a few more brief words with Lin Lan, we left the storage room. Lin Lan was also tidying her clothes and hair...

This scene was witnessed by the Xiao family, who were about to leave Xu Meijuan's house... Xiao Bo, whose face was swollen even more from the beating, was among them!

He stared at Lin Lan and me with a mixture of anger and astonishment in his eyes, and then he laughed like a madman...

"You, surnamed Song! Fine! You're really something!"

Xiao Bo exclaimed, "So they've set their sights on Xu Shaokun's wife again? Fine! You're awesome! You're amazing! You're ruthless! We don't want any of us anymore! We're all yours!"

From his words, it's clear that the fact that Xu Shaokun was a "green glove" (a term used to describe someone who is cheated on) wasn't common knowledge!

Xiao Zhenjiang and the younger sister from the Xiao family also looked incredulous. They frowned and gave Lin Lan and me a disdainful look before leaving Xu Meijuan's house!

It seems they've achieved their goal and recouped their losses... This is none of their business anymore.

What remains is a power struggle between the Song and Xu families!

Back in the conference room, Song Guolong waved to me repeatedly, gesturing for me to sit down next to him: "Come on! Xiao Song! Why did you take so long? Who were you calling? You weren't cheating on Meiyun with someone else, were you?"

I frowned, looking annoyed, and awkwardly sat back down next to him...

When I glanced at Xu Meiyun, she didn't doubt me at all; she still looked at me with eyes full of affection and worry...

After the Xiao family left, the seating arrangement in the meeting room changed completely!

Sitting to Song Guolong's right were all the people he brought with him!

On the left, Xu Shaokun and Xu Jiayi from the Xu family team were also gone, leaving only Xu Meijuan and the other Xu family executives...

"Xiao Cheng!"

Song Guolong, puffing on his cigar, smiled and pointed to a beautiful woman sitting next to me. She was elegantly dressed, had a noble air, and appeared to be around thirty-six or thirty-seven years old. He said, "This is Hua Zhao, Hua Yang's younger sister. You can call her Second Sister from now on..."

My heart skipped a beat, and I frowned, glancing awkwardly at the other person... I froze instantly!

It's not because she's too beautiful!

That woman is beautiful, of course!

When I glanced at her out of the corner of my eye, I knew she was beautiful... her skin was as white as snow, and she had a noble air about her, like someone who had stepped out of a painting.

But now, looking closely, her face shape, the corners of her eyes, and her forehead... I don't know why, but something about her gives me a feeling of déjà vu...

Damn it... she looks just like me!

When it comes to blood ties, sometimes you just can't deny it!

Even if they are not born to the same mother, as long as they share half of their blood, they may still give people the feeling of "looking alike"!

That Song Huayang is also my half-sister, but I don't have that feeling with her at all; we're like complete strangers.

And this Song Huazhao... seems to have been born just to "catch" me, his illegitimate son!

Song Huazhao seemed to notice the strangeness in my expression, frowned slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes...

My mind is in turmoil, but then I think again, I haven't done anything wrong, so why should I feel guilty?

So I smiled generously and extended my hand: "Hello, Second Sister!"

"Hello, Xiao Cheng!"

Song Huazhao shook hands with me. Her hands were soft and delicate, and her voice was very pleasant.

"Hahaha!"

Song Guolong laughed and said, "Since our Song family contributed the most money to this new energy vehicle project... then naturally, the chairman should also be a member of the Song family. Meijuan, Meiyun, Meitong, you have no objections, right?"

Xu Meijuan smiled and said, "No objections!"

Meiyun nodded, "Uncle Song, you are fair in your dealings, we will all listen to you!"

Xu Meitong also laughed and said, "My eldest sister, second sister, and I agree!"

"good!"

Song Guolong took another puff of his cigar and said, "Since the Xiao family has withdrawn, the project can't be called Yunbo Auto anymore. I suggest we come up with a new name... Xiaocheng and Meiyun are getting married soon, right? Xiaocheng can represent Meiyun. How about we take the 'Hua' from Huazhao and the 'Cheng' from Xiaocheng, and call it Huacheng Auto? What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Meijuan's face showed a slight hint of embarrassment, but it quickly turned into a smile.

After all, in her mind, Meiyun was not my ideal wife.

Meitong, however, remained expressionless, though a subtle, unreadable sense of disappointment flickered in her eyes...

As for Xu Meiyun, she was beaming with joy, nodding repeatedly: "Great! This name is wonderful! Let's call it Huacheng Automobile!"

"Meijuan, Meitong, what do you two think?" Song Guolong asked with a smile.

"Uh, that's great, that's great!"

"Hmm, I have no objection."

The two sisters could only awkwardly nod repeatedly...

My heart was churning with turmoil...

Song Guolong, oh Song Guolong! You've got a really good plan! You're really good at "leveraging existing momentum"!

Huacheng Auto, one is your beloved daughter, the other is your beloved son, so you've essentially taken over this project for yourself!

"Um......"

Song Guolong continued to ponder, "Meiyun will serve as the CEO of Huacheng, but our Song's Capital will send someone to be the CFO... As for the legal representative, I suggest Xiaocheng take the position!"

"what?"

Upon hearing this, I was completely dumbfounded.

What does this mean? When it comes to dividing the money, it goes to Second Sister; when it comes to managing affairs, it goes to Meiyun... and when it comes to taking responsibility, I'm the one who has to take it. What the hell is going on here?

"So, Makoto, do you have a problem with that?"

Song Guolong chuckled and patted my shoulder: "You're Meiyun's fiancé, you should take on more responsibility for her, that's what men are like..."

"Well....."

Helpless, I could only frown and nod, but at the same time, I felt sad for Lin Lan...

What will happen to Lin Lan if I really marry Mei Yun?

I'm not like those cold-blooded businessmen. I take marriage very seriously and don't treat it as just a game...

For a moment, my mind was in complete turmoil! I could barely hear what Song Guolong said next.

The others sitting in the room each had their own agendas... Only Meiyun was still looking at me with innocent, sweet, and loving eyes.

My heart feels like it's being torn apart...

On one hand, there's Meiyun, who loves me to the extreme, and I can't let her down. On the other hand, there's Linlan, who's almost willing to risk her life for me. What should I do?

The meeting was still ongoing, and Song Guolong set the tone for the entire project!

If we're going to do this new energy vehicle business, we should do it well! It can't be an empty shell that cheats the government and shareholders out of their money!

Profits earned should be prioritized to repay the debts owed by the Xu family to the Song family. Only after all debts are settled will the profits be distributed to the Xu family...

Perhaps because of the change in the will, with a 20% stake as a ballast, the three Mei-Juan sisters all agreed without any objection!

I kept my head down the whole time, frowning as I pondered Lin Lan's words: My real opponent is not Xu Shaokun and his group at all... but she didn't specify who it was?

I think it must be my beautiful second sister next to me, right?

Her mother killed my mother...

If she finds out that I am Song Guolong's illegitimate son, how will her five sisters treat me? How will their mother treat me?

Just as I was in a state of utter confusion, completely absorbed in my own world, and had no interest in listening to Song Guolong's blatant ramblings... Song Huazhao suddenly patted my hand gently and whispered, "Xiao Cheng, lift your head..."

She blinked her beautiful big eyes, staring at me with curiosity and surprise.
