King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"Well......"

I awkwardly looked up and met Song Huazhao's gaze.

"Hiss~!"

Song Huazhao's gaze towards me became increasingly meaningful, and he whispered, "Xiao Cheng, after the meeting, I need to talk to you alone..."

"Uh... okay!" I frowned and nodded.

Although I have a guilty conscience, I've come to terms with it... In this life, sometimes you really can't fight against fate head-on!

Man proposes, God disposes. If she does see through something, even just suspects it, then it's fate. Let it be!

"Meijuan, Meiyun, and Meitong..."

Song Guolong laughed, "Tomorrow is my birthday. I've invited you three sisters, and Xiao Cheng, to come over for dinner and have some fun... Firstly, I'm getting old and enjoy being surrounded by young people, and secondly, it's an early celebration of the great success of our two families' collaborative Huacheng Auto project! Tomorrow, Hua Yao, Hua Jin, and Hua Lin will also be back... Xiao Cheng, you should get to know your sisters..."

"oh......"

I frowned and nodded, then caught a glimpse of Xu Meijuan giving me a sly smile...

Xu Meiyun, however, still had a face full of innocence and enthusiasm.

The business world is like a battlefield; contracts and agreements on the surface are just the open game.

But the game played behind the scenes is a different kind of contest and game!

Xu Meijuan definitely has feelings for me too, but deep down she's a businesswoman... she keeps her emotions and rationality very separate!

In the game of chess, she prefers to portray me as a "pawn that has crossed the river," infiltrating the Song family's ranks to wreak havoc and undermine their foundation!

Song Guolong's thoughts, however, made me sense a hint of a father's expectation, helplessness, and sorrow...

Regardless of which woman he fathered the child with, it's still his own child...

He's getting old and hopes his children can be around him, bringing him the joy of family life!

Although my identity cannot be revealed, as the 'mastermind,' he knows it in his heart...

After the meeting, Song Huazhao indeed asked Song Guolong to speak with me, the "legal representative of Huacheng," alone.

So, only Song Huazhao and I remained in the conference room; everyone else had left...

Frowning and looking down at this beautiful second sister... I also deeply felt the difference in personality between her and my eldest sister, Song Huayang!

Song Huayang's personality is quiet, gentle, reserved, and understated...

Just as Xu Meijuan said, Song Huayang has a very good personality!

But Song Huazhao is different. This second sister seems to be more proactive and decisive in her actions, and doesn't care much about saving face!

Even the way they address Song Guolong is different... Hua Yang calls him "Dad," while Hua Zhao simply calls him "Papa!"

"Xiao Cheng..."

Song Huazhao looked at me with a smile and asked meaningfully, "Have we... met before?"

"Uh...no, I don't think so."

I smiled awkwardly: "You are the moon in the sky, and I am just a brick in a thatched hut... It is my good fortune to meet you today. I never had the chance to meet such an important person as you before."

"Giggle giggle!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "Don't say that, we're all the same kind of people... I just feel like you look familiar, like I've seen you before... Alright! Let's talk about serious matters!"

She paused, then said seriously, "Xiao Cheng, let me get straight to the point! Although... Mei Yun has become the CEO, she's still just a bookworm, and she has Zhuo Yun's affairs to manage, so she simply doesn't have time to attend to Huacheng Automotive's affairs... Huacheng still needs to be steered by us, brother and sister!"

"Oh... um!"

I nodded seriously.

"Although the Xiao family escaped unscathed..."

Song Huazhao said meaningfully, "But we still need to deal with the Xiao family, because their Jueneng battery modules currently offer the best price-performance ratio in China!"

"Are we still going to fight the Xiao family?"

I frowned and gasped, "But the problem is... will the Xiao family cooperate with us? We've already offended them!"

"hehe!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "It was the Xu family who offended them, not the Song family. This car project now belongs to the Song family, not the Xu family! Besides... we're buying their batteries; this is giving them the order. Who would turn down money?"

"That makes sense... So, what does Second Sister mean?"

"hehe!"

Song Huazhao smiled and said, "Little Song, your second sister has a good feeling about you, so she wants to focus on cultivating and training you! A man who wants to achieve great things must be magnanimous! Don't draw such an absolute line between 'enemy and friend.' If an enemy becomes a friend, isn't that the same as eliminating the enemy?"

She paused, then continued, "Like in American history, Lincoln had a political opponent who, during the election campaign, constantly called Lincoln an idiot and a gorilla, even viciously fabricating rumors attacking his mother, Nancy, on her lifestyle and accusing him of being an illegitimate child... But later, a reporter saw Lincoln walking and chatting happily with this political opponent in a park and asked in surprise, 'Mr. President, isn't he your enemy? How come you're getting along so well with your enemy?' Lincoln smiled and replied, 'Yes! An enemy becomes a friend, isn't that the same as eliminating the enemy?' Later, this political opponent even held a high-ranking position in Lincoln's government!"

wipe!

As expected of the daughter of the "King of Capital"... Such insight and vision! Far beyond the petty stature of those from humble families!

Her reasoning was sound, but... the words "illegitimate child" sounded particularly jarring to me!

I wonder if I'm just overthinking things because I'm insecure?

Or... was she deliberately making sarcastic remarks about me? Actually, she had already seen through everything and knew everything.

"That Xiao Bo!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "Although he's foul-mouthed, impulsive, and a spendthrift who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun! But he's different from Xu Shaokun... He's not a bad person at heart, otherwise Meiyun wouldn't have agreed to date him in the first place... The most capable and technically skilled members of the Xiao family are Xiao Bo's older sister, Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Bo's younger sister, Xiao Ran... uh, that little girl from the Xiao family you met before!"

She paused for a moment and continued, "Tonight, I've arranged a dinner party so we can have a proper discussion with the Xiao family about the battery purchase."

"Huh? Tonight..."

My brow furrowed deeply: "Second sister, how about we wait a couple of days? We just had a fight with them..."

"Tsk! Look at you, kid..."

Song Huazhao frowned slightly: "When dealing with conflicts, don't hold grudges overnight. Besides... with Second Sister here, what are you afraid of?"

wipe!

This decisive and efficient style... it's almost suffocating!

However, what she said makes sense.

"Uh, okay then, I'll do whatever my second sister says."

"Hehe! Okay then!"

Song Huazhao said with a smile, "You should rest first... Your second sister will pick you up tonight. By the way, how's your alcohol tolerance?"

"Uh...it's alright!"

"That's good!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "Second Sister isn't very good at drinking, so when she needs to drink, you, as a man, must stand up for her..."

"Uh, okay!"

......

After saying that, Song Huazhao got up to leave. I saw her off and watched her get into her car and drive away.

"husband!"

Xu Meiyun happily took my arm and said excitedly, "That's great! Now, no one can stop us from being together! Honey, I'm so happy!"

Xu Meijuan, who was also seeing Song Huazhao off, had a smile on her face, but her expression could not hide the complexity in her heart.

"Xiao Cheng, what did Song Huazhao say to you?" Xu Meijuan asked with concern.

"cough!"

I let out a long sigh: "From noon yesterday until now... I haven't eaten for twenty-four hours. Can you please let me have a bite to eat before we talk...?"

"Oh, right! Look at me... really! Aunt Feng, hurry up and cook!"

Xu Meijuan quickly instructed the nanny to cook.

I added to Aunt Feng's comment, "Let's get down to business, not all that fancy stuff..."

"Oh, I see..." Aunt Feng nodded nervously to me, and then went to the kitchen to get busy.

Actually, what I really want to eat is the food that Teacher Sun makes for me...

But the situation is already in complete chaos... The best thing to do is for Teacher Sun and Tingting to stay in Xu Meijuan's backyard villa and avoid getting them involved!

Previously, I always regarded Xu Meijuan as my protector.

Looking at the current situation, now that I'm tied to Song Guolong, I need to learn to proactively protect myself and the people I love...

While Aunt Feng was cooking, I told Xu Meijuan and Xu Meiyun about Song Huazhao's intention: she was going to take me to meet the Xiao family tonight to discuss battery procurement!

Xu Meijuan's attitude on this matter is positive!

After all, business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships!

Moreover, the Song family is also a creditor of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family dares not fall out with the Song family...

Meiyun understood, after all, Huacheng Auto was a real project, not just a showy display...

But she was still worried, fearing that the Xiao family might do something to me!

"husband......"

Xu Meiyun gripped my hand tightly, her face full of worry, and said, "I'll go with you!"

"Oh......"

I shook my head and smiled wryly: "Meiyun, you should just stay at home. If you go, won't that just add fuel to the fire? Don't worry, with Song Huazhao around, the Xiao family won't dare to make things difficult for me."

"No!"

Xu Meiyun gripped my arm tightly, crying again with unwavering resolve, "Waaah! I'll never be separated from you again! I don't want anyone to hurt you! If anyone's going to hurt you, hurt me instead!"

We were talking when my phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was Xu Shaokun calling!

Although I know that this kid... just lost his right to inherit 30% of the shares, he must hate me to the bone and has nothing good to say about me!

But I hesitated for a moment, and then answered the phone.

"Feed?"

"hehe!"

Xu Shaokun sneered on the other end of the phone, "Fine! My future brother-in-law... you're ruthless! I've been supporting you, helping you... and you actually ransacked my house? I sent you a picture! Take a good look!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone!

I gasped and opened my phone...

Xu Meijuan and Xu Meiyun curiously came over to take a look... When the three of us finally saw what the picture contained, we were all stunned!
