Ye Wenhan is driven mad.
There’s no one steering the ship at Comrcial Managent.
Who could have foreseen that the Comrcial Managent organization, managed by the Ye family for so many years, would be utterly ruined overnight?
Following the lack of leadership in the organization, only two people possessed the most power: Song Shan and Qin Wenguo. Both people pledged externally that they would do everything they could to uphold Comrcial Managent, ensuring that it wouldn’t fall into total disarray due to the temporary lack of leadership.
At the mont, all potential candidates for leadership were concentrated on Song Shan and Qin Wenguo. Song Shan, frequently active in the public eye lately, was touted the most. Compared to him, Qin Wenguo often praised Song Shan and generally remained less conspicuous. This combination led to a general consensus that the role of Chief Executive in Comrcial Managent organization would eventually end up with Song Shan.
Song Zhizhi had noticed her father’s excitent and enthusiasm during this ti.
Now, under Song Shan’s managent, it seed as though he had innocuously beco the current host of Comrcial Managent. The prospect of him being crowned as the Chief Executive seed inevitable.
Song Zhizhi was sat in her office.
Due to Song Shan’s influence, those who tried to curry favor with her had increased significantly.
She didn’t necessarily consider this as a good thing.
The more assertive her father behaved, the more he was seen as a nuisance by others. Qin Wenguo, evidently smart, chose to stay under the radar during a ti of instability.
Her father might get the power he was after, but the official family had been eyeing this power for a while. How long could they let her father hold on to it?
This was a golden opportunity and the official family would surely not allow Comrcial Managent to slip through their fingers. It was only a matter of ti.
If her father clung onto Comrcial Managent...
Thinking of this possibility, Song Zhizhi felt a sense of unease.
She called Ji Baijian, "Ji Baijian."
"Yes?"
"When will you reclaim Comrcial Managent?" Song Zhizhi asked.
"Has the madam beco impatient?"
"I don’t want my father to be mired too deeply." Song Zhizhi spoke frankly.
"Alright." Ji Baijian agreed imdiately.
Song Zhizhi enquired, "Ji Baijian, am I selfish?"
"No."
"Ji Baijian, no matter what happens, I am on your side."
"Don’t carry the burden alone. I understand your considerations. Wait for my ssage."
"Okay."
Song Zhizhi nodded.
Slowly, they ended the call.
Song Zhizhi did not know how Ji Baijian could reclaim Comrcial Managent and take on the role of Chief Executive, but she believed in him.
Upon reflection, she got up again and went to her father’s office.
Song Shan was in high spirits.
Seeing his daughter approach, he didn’t bother to conceal his glee.
Song Shan said, "I’ve heard you were behind the downfall of Ye Wenhan."
Song Zhizhi remained silent.
Song Shan said, "My daughter is truly extraordinary. Zhizhi, you’ve really helped out a lot."
"Dad, this really isn’t a ti to be celebrating. The official family is eyeing Comrcial Managent like a hawk and they certainly wouldn’t let go of this lucrative opportunity!"
"You don’t have to worry about that. I know how to deal with it."
"How will you handle it?" Song Zhizhi expressed surprise.
Could it be that he was planning to deal with the official family? Wasn’t that a death wish?
"Zhizhi, your father hasn’t been spending years in Comrcial Managent for nothing. Rest assured, I know what to do."
"Dad, can’t we just turn down the position of Chief Executive at Comrcial Managent? I don’t think it’ll bring any good to our family. Can’t you be more passive, like Qin Wenguo, instead of being so aggressive?"
"What are you talking about!" Song Shan instantly flared up, "Qin Wenguo is passive because he simply doesn’t qualify! Haven’t you seen the public’s response to ? Does he have a chance to compete? Now, he can only choose to suck up to ."
"Dad, have you been blinded by desire?"
"Song Zhizhi!" Song Shan stood up angrily, "You are my daughter. I don’t want any political affairs to affect our relationship. I was genuinely happy for you and your brother to support . But now you’re pulling down. We don’t need to talk about the past when the Ye family was in control. But now that the Ye family is gone, soone else will rise if I don’t. Why should I give up on this opportunity!"
"Didn’t you say that family is the most important thing to you?"
"I don’t believe that achieving power will affect our familial relationships!"
"I don’t want you to take on this role, Dad."
"Then who do you prefer?" Song Shan’s face darkened.
"Dad, we can’t fight against the official family." Song Zhizhi controlled her emotions.
"I’ve told you not to worry about that. Zhizhi, tell , do you have any other plans?" Song Shan asked.
Song Zhizhi suppressed her feelings.
At this mont, she didn’t really know what her father would do under the influence of his desires, so she dared not disclose anything about Ji Baijian.
She said, "No, but looking at the current situation, I don’t think it benefits our family in any way."
"It’s not your job to worry about whether or not we benefit. Just keep working at Comrcial Managent. Once I land the Chief Executive position, I’ll promote you and your brother," Song Shan asserted.
Song Zhizhi felt that there was no use further talking to him at this point.
She turned and walked away.
At this point, the only way to squash her father’s delusions was one – having Ji Baijian assu the role of Chief Executive of Comrcial Managent imdiately.
Watching his daughter’s back, Song Shan suspected her of hiding sothing.
Song Shan’s face darkened.
He had anticipated this day for so long and couldn’t let his daughter thwart it now.
After considering for a while, he dialed up, "Mr. Jun."
"Chief Song, how can I help you?"
"I have sothing to discuss with you."
"In person?"
"Preferably in person."
"Alright, I’ll send soone to pick you up in two hours."
"Okay."
Song Shan hung up the phone.
He had never intended to harm his own daughter, he was simply trying to prevent her from taking over his great enterprise.
Two hours later, Song Shan was in Jun Minghan’s car, heading straight to Jun Minghan’s place.
It was still the Bamboo Garden.
Aside from Jun Minghan, Song Shan also saw Leng Wanqing.
It was only after being invited by Jun Minghan last ti that Song Shan found out all of Jun Minghan’s decisions were made by Leng Wanqing.
Leng Wanqing was the biggest BOSS behind Jun Minghan, and he naturally showed her great respect.
Leng Wanqing began, "I heard Chief has sothing to discuss with Minghan."
"Yes. Last ti you found , you suggested that while Ye Wenhan is stepping down, I should quickly take over Comrcial Managent, and you would help behind the scenes. Everything is going smoothly now, but I still feel sowhat uneasy."
"Chief Song, feel free to say what you have in mind."
"My daughter, Song Zhizhi, I don’t know why she keeps opposing . I feel like she’s hiding sothing from , but she won’t tell !" Song Shan was sowhat worried.
Leng Wanqing and Jun Minghan glanced at each other, looking like they had sothing to say but were holding back.
"Madam, Mr. Jun, please feel free to speak up." Song Shan also noticed their restraint.
Leng Wanqing sighed, "Actually, the reason we didn’t ntion it is because we were afraid it would affect your father-daughter relationship."
"So, Madam, you know about my daughter?"
"Mm-hmm." Leng Wanqing nodded, "At this point, I feel that I shouldn’t be concealing it from you. I originally thought that with the relationship between you and Song Zhizhi, she would tell you and stand by your side. But, unexpectedly, she hasn’t told you anything."
"What do you an?" Song Shan got a little excited.
Leng Wanqing said, "Song Zhizhi has been helping Ji Baijian."
"Ji Baijian? Does Ji Baijian want the position of the helmsman of Comrcial Managent?!" Song Shan’s emotion seed a bit agitated.
Leng Wanqing nodded.
"How is he entitled to it?"
"You should also be aware that we’ve been targeting Ji Baijian for a while, but we’ve been unable to do anything about him. Mainly because Jun Mingyu has been protecting Ji Baijian all along. Jun Mingyu has many informants in the official family now, and I fear that if we make any moves, Jun Mingyu will seize the opportunity. So we’ve been hesitant to act and have allowed Ji Baijian to continue his growth. Now that the head of Comrcial Managent has stepped down, Ji Baijian, with Jun Mingyu’s help, is undoubtedly aiming for the position. Ji Baijian’s capability is not to be underestimated. If he really wants to get his hands on Comrcial Managent, it wouldn’t be difficult!"
Song Shan’s face turned a bit darker.
He didn’t expect, his daughter’s relentless opposition was because she was helping Ji Baijian!
He thought, his daughter was genuinely considering his wellbeing, after all, in the current situation, a montary carelessness could lead to total ruin.
He never would have expected, Song Zhizhi was being a double agent.
His heart was suppressed with rage.
Leng Wanqing, being a shrewd person, could naturally see through him and said, "Chief Song, there’s actually no need to worry too much. Just because we can’t handle Ji Baijian doesn’t an you can’t."
Song Shan frowned.
"I believe that Ji Baijian and your daughter probably still don’t know that you’re aware of this fact. When they’re completely off guard against you, that would be the perfect opportunity for you to act!"
"What do you suggest, Madam?"
"Chief Song, my words might seem harsh, but they need to be said. Leaving Ji Baijian around is like having a ticking bomb. I think you should make Ji Baijian disappear completely, and I can assist you."
Song Shan did not respond.
If he were to act against Ji Baijian and his daughter were to find out...
"Chief Song, those who want to achieve great things must not fuss over trivial matters, and I guarantee that your daughter won’t find out. From another perspective, whether you like it or not, you and your daughter are bound to turn into enemies because of the helmsman’s position. Why not make her unknowingly co back to your side? Here’s a two-birds-with-one-stone situation, and I hope Chief Song will consider it carefully."
"No need for consideration." Song Shan imdiately agreed.
At this point, regardless of his father-daughter relationship with Song Zhizhi, he couldn’t just give up this big fat duck that was already within his reach.
"Chief Song’s dominance as expected."
"What’s our next move?"
"It’s simple, create an accident, die due to natural disasters or man-made calamity, so no one can bla anyone."
"Alright."
Song Shan gave a cold smile.
Don’t bla him for being ruthless, he didn’t want to deal with Ji Baijian either. But since Ji Baijian stood in his way...
As for Song Zhizhi...
Without Ji Baijian, she could surely enjoy the wealth and power he could give her in the future.
After discussing with Leng Wanqing and the others, Song Shan left.
Watching Song Shan’s retreating figure, Jun Minghan turned to his mother, "Can Ji Baijian really be killed?"
If it were that easy to kill him, wouldn’t Ji Baijian have died hundreds of tis by now?!
"Who said I was going to kill Ji Baijian?" Leng Wanqing’s mouth curled into a smile.
Jun Minghan looked at his mother in surprise.
"Just wait and see." A sinister smile appeared on Leng Wanqing’s face.
...
Song Shan returned to Comrcial Managent.
He called Song Zhizhi and Song Zhidao into his office.
Song Shan said, "I argued with Zhizhi this morning, and I’ve thought a lot about it."
Song Zhizhi looked up at her father.
Song Zhidao did the sa.
Song Shan continued, "If now is not the best ti for to ascend to power, then I’ll try to be as low-profile as possible."
Song Zhizhi looked at Song Shan incredulously.
With her understanding of Song Shan, he wouldn’t just compromise so easily.
Her heart beca even more uneasy.
She couldn’t help feeling that her father was putting on an act.
Song Shan said, "I called you here to let you know that we are a family, and nothing is more important than family."
"Dad, are you serious?" Song Zhizhi asked.
"Do you think your father is lying to you?" Song Shan gave a smile, "Zhizhi, your father has been ambitious for power these years, but I can’t bear to see our family torn apart for it. I’m getting older, why not enjoy the rest of my life."
"It couldn’t be better if you’re really thinking like this." Song Zhizhi said earnestly, "Right now, the official family is eyeing Comrcial Managent. With us being the focus, we really can’t act recklessly."
She didn’t know if her father was sincere, but she really wanted him to understand.
