Translator: 549690339

With Song Shan’s diplomatic relationships, it was decided that the commercial management agency would conduct a field study in Beixia country.

Originally, it was just a division-two activity, but divisions one and three also got involved. The reason, of course, was they all wanted to learn from hands-on experience.

The date was set for next Monday, which was just two days away.

It happened to be Saturday today. Song Zhizhi woke up naturally after a good sleep, feeling somewhat exhausted physically and mentally due to her strenuous work last week.

She stretched lazily and got up.

Her father was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper, with Nie Wenzhi attending to him.

Nie Wenzhi, since Nie Xiaofei’s incident, seemed to have restrained a lot. Even though Yi Wenhan had ambitions to make waves in the commercial management agency, Nie Wenzhi seemed very submissive. It seemed he was somewhat afraid of her , thus he was even more cautious in his actions.

“Zhizhi’s up.” Nie Wenzhi was incredibly friendly.

Song Zhizhi gave a faint smile.

Song Shan also put down his newspaper and addressed Song Zhizhi, “You should have breakfast first, and then come to my study. I have some things to discuss with you.”

“Alright.”

Song Zhizhi nodded.

She knew her father wasn’t quite satisfied with her recent performance.

After breakfast, Song Zhizhi sat in Song Shan’s study.

Song Shan said, “You’ve gained quite a bit of attention at the commercial management agency.” “I’m aware.”

“I’ve always kept a low profile. Apart from the unpleasant incidents that have happened in our family previously and making occasional headline news for it, there have been hardly any confrontations with anyone else in the business and management sectors. Are you aware that what you’re doing now could easily turn our family into a target?” Song Shan was straightforward and stern in his tone.

“I understand your worrie, Dad, but I have my reasons for doing this,” Song Zhizhi said, “I met Mr. Ye the other day. He was not at all what I had imagined. I expected him to be an old man on his last legs, but he turned out to be full of energy, in good health, and incredibly sharp-minded. I don’t think he will wait until his demise to vacate his position.”

Song Shan frowned, “What are you thinking of?”

“Although I’ve only met Mr. Ye once, I could strongly sense his sharpness as a businessman and his domineering aura as a leader. He’s not someone to let things slide, so he would definitely not neglect the foundation that the Ye Family has built over centuries! I’m convinced, he will personally choose his successor. And since he will be making the choice himself, naturally, the most capable person will be chosen. Dad, we must show our mettle at this time, otherwise Mr. Ye won’t notice our Song

Family.”

Song Shan remained silent without giving an immediate confirmation.

‘Your concern is simply that you’re afraid other families will gang up and attack us? I’ve also considered this. I, too, want to benefit from the fight between others, but obviously it’s not possible right now. All the top executives are watching and nobody dares to act rashly. While things have remained peaceful for years and it seems like everyone is getting along, in reality, everyone knows that a war is about to break out! If I guessed correctly, Mr. Ye should have Imown my identity at the meeting that day.”

Song Shan was surprised, “How did you know that?”

This was yet another moment that he saw his daughter in a new light.

“I’m guessing. I think Mr. Ye can’t wait any longer. If Mr. Ye wants to choose the capable person, naturally he will need to provoke a war, and who will ignite it? At the meeting, he let me stand out. Wasn’t it to catch the attention of other families? Wasn’t he wanting other families to also stir things up? Mr. Ye has already started selecting, Dad, we can’t just sit and wait to be doomed..”
