Chapter 369: 369: Conspiracy Case(1) Divorce Failure

As expected.

He stood her up again.

Qin Keqin’s face didn’t look too good, and Luo Xiaolang seemed to be becoming more sensitive to other people’s emotions.

She quietly stayed by Qin Keqin’s side the entire time.

It was past 6 o’clock.

The Civil Affairs Bureau had already closed for the day.

Looking at the large floor clock in the villa, Qin Keqin’s expression turned cold.

A servant in the villa respectfully announced, “Ma’am, Miss Song Zhizhi is here. She said she came to see Miss Xiaolang.”

“Hmm.” Qin Keqin nodded.

The servant left.

After a while, Song Zhizhi appeared in the hall.

Qin Keqin has honed her interpersonal skills over the years and greeted Song Zhizhi with a light smile, “Zhizhi.”

“Auntie.” Song Zhizhi also smiled, “I’m sorry for the abrupt visit.”

Saying so, she handed over a gift to Qin Keqin.

Qin Keqin thanked her politely.

The two exchanged pleasantries.

Song Zhizhi sat on the Yin family’s sofa.

“How is Xiaolang doing?” Song Zhizhi asked about Luo Xiaolang.

Luo Xiaolang nodded, “I’m fine.”

“Are you getting used to it here?”

“Yes.”

“Are you afraid that I’d mistreat her?” Qin Keqin joked, trying to lighten the mood.

Song Zhizhi laughed brightly, “I’m more worried about her mistreating you.”

“Huh?”

“She grew up in Wulin Temple, which is in the mountains, so she might have some surprising habits like running or jumping rope that could shock you, especially if your heart isn’t strong.” Song Zhizhi explained, jokingly.

Qin Keqin laughed heartily, “Xiaolang has been very obedient today. Rest assured, I will take good care of her.”

“Thank you.” Song Zhizhi said solemnly.

She was genuinely grateful.

When Song Zhizhi faced Yin Qin’s reaction the day before, she thought a lot about the situation.

She initially believed that Yin Qin should take responsibility for Xiaolang since she was carrying his child. However, after careful consideration, she thought that Xiaolang’s actions were essentially morally extorting Yin Qin. In reality, Yin Qin is the one who’s truly mistreated, with everyone arbitrarily blaming him.

“You’re too polite. No matter what, Xiaolang is carrying Yin Qin’s child. Taking care of her is our duty.”

“How is Yin Qin doing now?” Song Zhizhi asked.

Qin Keqin laughed.

She knew that Song Zhizhi came not just to check on Luo Xiaolang’s living conditions, but also to discuss Yin Qin’s attitude.

“Yesterday, Baijian called me and told me about Yin Qin and Xiaolang’s situation. I can’t deny that, despite the circumstances, Xiaolang is carrying Yin Qin’s child and as a man, Yin Qin should take responsibility. However, I won’t force Yin Qin to actually marry Xiaolang.” Qin Keqin spoke frankly.

“Yes, I understand.” Song Zhizhi nodded.

“A loveless marriage won’t bring happiness. Having been through it myself, I know exactly what I’ve gone through all these years, so there’s no need for my son and innocent Xiaolang to go through the same ordeal. I believe no blood bond is strong enough to sustain a relationship without love. But I’ll do my best to help them get along. We all know that Yin Qin has always liked Ji Baixin, but luckily, Ji Baixin is getting married. Slowly, Yin Qin will come to accept reality. Having been around so many beautiful girls in high society, he wouldn’t normally be attracted to a simple girl like Xiaolang, so I will try to change Xiaolang a bit and give them chances to bond. As for marriage, I will never force Yin Qin.” Qin Keqin made her position clear.

“I completely agree with your perspective, auntie,” Song Zhizhi affirmed, “Although Xiaolang and I aren’t blood-related, I sincerely consider her my best friend. If it weren’t for her, I might have died in some place in some country. So, my bond with Xiaolang runs much deeper than ordinary friendships. I genuinely hope Xiaolang can find her happiness. Despite this, I won’t insist that Yin Qin takes responsibility just because Xiaolang is carrying his child. The reason I came here today is to make my position clear. I don’t want this situation to turn Yin Qin against Xiaolang. I hope they can peacefully coexist, and if they really can’t develop feelings for each other, I will take Xiaolang back.”

“Alright.” Qin Keqin nodded.

At that moment, she felt a certain admiration for Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi was at least different than others, such as Yin Bin.

When faced with a problem, he only cares about the result and uses his morals to dictate others’ lives, never putting himself in other people’s shoes. He’s always living under the illusion of his self-righteous justice.

The two continued their conversation for a while.

Suddenly, Song Zhizhi felt like she had found a kindred spirit in Qin Keqin.

She knew that Qin Keqin was unique among the upper class, not interested in business engagements. For many years, she had never been seen with Yin Bin. She occasionally attended some fashionable dinners, and every time Zhizhi thought that this woman had managed to maintain herself impeccably. Sometimes, when Yin Qin was with her mother, Zhizhi even thought him to be Qin Keqin’s boyfriend—it didn’t feel strange at all.

But because she had never gotten to know Qin Keqin deeply, she always thought Qin Keqin to be eccentric and aloof, often looking down on others.

Upon closer interactions, Song Zhizhi suddenly understood why Yin Qin was so carefree and had such a good personality. It wasn’t without reason.

Song Zhizhi left the Yin Family only after having dinner there.

Wei Ziming came to pick her up.

Ever since Xiaolang left, Wei Ziming would occasionally come over to drive her around. Eventually, perhaps out of concern for her commuting alone, her father simply gave Wei Ziming to her, allowing him to fully take over Luo Xiaolang’s role.

In fact, Wei Ziming was quite clear that Song Shan had placed him by Song Zhizhi’s side not only for her safety but more importantly, to monitor her every move.

Previously, the monitor was also placed by Yin Qin as per Song Shan’s instructions, with a similar aim.

Inside the quiet sedan.

Song Zhizhi said, “Don’t worry, Brother Ziming. Xiaolang is doing well now. Qin Keqin is a very reasonable woman, so I believe she will treat Xiaolang fairly.”

“Hmm,” Wei Ziming nodded.

Xiaolang was the one he brought out from the mountains, so he naturally felt a sense of responsibility towards him.

“As for Yin Qin…” Song Zhizhi really couldn’t guarantee whether Yin Qin would fall in love with Luo Xiaolang. She murmured, “If it turns out to be impossible to match the two up, I believe Xiaolang can live well on his own.”

“Well, I’m not worried about Xiaolang,” said Wei Ziming.

He was very familiar with Xiaolang’s personality.

He was accustomed to being alone since childhood, never knowing how to engage in relationships or ask for help. He could care for himself and live well on his own.

Rather, Wei Ziming was worried about Song Zhizhi.

He always had this feeling that some conspiracy, especially one related to Song Zhizhi, was brewing.

Silence once again filled the car.

Song Zhizhi returned to her apartment complex.

Wei Ziming drove back to the Song Family’s residence.

Entering the main hall, Song Shan was seated on the couch.

With utmost respect, Wei Ziming greeted, “Uncle.”

“Hmm,” Song Shan nodded, “How has Zhizhi been these past days?”

Of course, he didn’t mean her physically.

Wei Ziming replied, “No anomalies detected. She goes to work on time every day and occasionally works overtime due to work-related issues. Ji Baijian stays at home all the time, never leaving.”

Song Shan nodded.

With utmost respect, Wei Ziming said, “Uncle, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be returning to my room.”

“Ziming,” Song Shan called out to him, “You’re the child your Aunt Lan and I have raised and invested in. We treat you like our own son. It’s a crucial period now, and I hope you understand.”

“I understand, Uncle.”

“Go rest early.”

“Yes.”

Wei Ziming left.

Song Shan watched Wei Ziming’s retreating figure.

He had been controlling Wei Ziming for many years, intending to utilise him at crucial times.

Yet, it seemed like Wei Ziming’s loyalty to him was dwindling.

His face darkened a little.

Meanwhile,

Song Zhidao returned from outside.

Recently, Song Zhidao has been coming home quite late and rarely makes it back in time for dinner.

“How are things going with Miss Fifth?” Song Shan asked straight away.

It seems like every time he comes home, the first thing his father cares about is his relationship with Jun Mingxi, as if he’s really worried that he might suddenly fail to please her.

Many times, he doesn’t like his father’s way of doing things. He always feels like his father is completely immersed in the desire for power, to the point of over-pursuit.

“It’s okay.” Song Zhidao replied.

But after all,

He’s been brainwashed by his father for many years.

Even if he doesn’t have the same level of desire as his father, he’s inherited his ambition.

So, sometimes, as long as it doesn’t go against his own principles, he can go along with his father’s arrangement.

“Miss Fifth is favored by the official family. If you can win Miss Fifth’s favor and really get married to her, our family will reach a higher level!”

“Dad, it’s not as simple as you think.” Song Zhidao replied straightforwardly.

Song Shan frowned.

Song Zhidao said, “Jun Mingxi is just pretending to date me, I don’t feel her sincerity. I always feel that she isn’t a simple woman, she’s not as harmless as she appears, and her city life is definitely deeper than her true age. She’s just observing, observing whether I have the ability to be with her. If I’m not good enough, she will choose someone else.”

“What do you mean?” Song Shan’s face darkened.

“To put it bluntly, Jun Mingxi is just dating me on the surface, in the real sense she is just giving me an opportunity to test me, if I can’t meet her requirements we will break up.”

“The people of the official family are really not simple.” Song Shan said bitterly.

“No one is simple.” Song Zhidao affirmed, “Whether Jun Mingxi is a friend or a foe, I can’t be sure yet.”

“I see.”

“Dad, I think the commercial management will be turbulent during this period.”

“Of course.” Song Shan said, “I’m now thriving both in commercial management and the official family, directly overshadowing him. Ye Wenhan would now love to get rid of me to eliminate future troubles.”

“Dad, it’s better to be careful.”

Song Shan nodded.

“It’s getting late, I’m going back to my room.” Song Zhidao got up to leave, and suddenly seemed to think of something at that moment, “I personally think, Dad, you should tell sister everything, I think my sister will help us instead of being a hindrance.”

“Don’t meddle in other things.” Song Shan was still resistant.

Song Zhidao pursed his lips and finally said no more.

Song Shan sat in the living room for a while, thought a lot, and then called Song Wen.

“It’s so late, aren’t you going to sleep?” Song Wen sounded a bit tired.

“The official family isn’t that easy to deal with.” Song Shan was direct, “Letting Jun Mingxi date Zhidao is just to examine him, it’s not sincere at all.”

“You’re thinking all wrong, Song Shan. Consider the status and power of the official family at the moment. From their viewpoint, their demands on themselves are naturally higher than ordinary people. When it comes to choosing a son-in-law, you think the official family can be casual about it? Jun Minghan has already taken a big step back by introducing his sister to Zhidao. Whether he can seize the opportunity depends on Zhidao himself. No one can help him with this!”

“Humph.” Song Shan showed disdain.

“Song Shan, don’t dwell on it. There’s nothing in this world that just falls from the sky. Which doesn’t require effort to fight for? Think about the hardships of our older generation that got us where we are today. Personally, I think aside from asking Song Zhidao to treat Jun Mingxi well, it’s more important for you to show sincerity towards the official family.”

“Am I not sincere enough?” Song Shan was a bit agitated.

“I know you are devoted to the official family, but from their perspective, they have their own concerns. All this time, you haven’t really done much to help the official family. Passing some internal secrets from commercial management to them is considered routine.”

“If you have something to say, just say it.”

“The official family has always wanted to deal with Ji Baijian, haven’t they?” Song Wen didn’t beat around the bush anymore.

“Are you suggesting that I should directly confront Ji Baijian?!” Song Shan’s voice rose.

“Ji Baijian is currently a thorn in Jun Minghan’s side. As for why, I’m not very clear, but Ji Baijian must have threatened Jun Minghan in some way, otherwise Jun Minghan wouldn’t target him so specifically. The principle is quite simple, Ji Baijian is your son-in-law, considering how Jun Minghan wants to get rid of him, wouldn’t Jun Minghan have reservations about you? Song Shan, I know Zhizhi is your daughter, but in the face of great righteousness, you still need to know what matters more.”

Song Shan suddenly fell silent, not uttering a word.

Song Wen didn’t press him, “Think about it, I’ve not been feeling well lately, I’m going to bed.”

He hung up the phone.

Song Wen turned to look at his son, Song Zhijun.

He had not yet gone to sleep, he was still discussing matters with Song Zhijun.

Jun Minghan had once again consigned him to deal with Ji Baijian as he was at his wit’s end, and Song Shan actually called him.

“Dad, do you think Uncle Song will act against Ji Baijian?” Song Zhijun asked.

“Of course he will. Song Shan is now being calculated by Jun Minghan to the death, Jun Minghan has been giving him sweet benefits but not letting him really taste it, this kind of itching feeling, how could Song Shan just give up, we just sit back and reap the benefits.”

Song Zhijun and his father smirked insidiously, truly each harboring their own schemes.

The next day.

Commercial Management Institution.

Song Zhizhi was at work.

The Commercial Management was not busy but not idle during this time, as there were many basic matters to deal with.

She was focused on her work.

Zhang He entered, “Manager Song, there is a department meeting at ten in the morning.”

“Okay.”

“Mr. Ye will be participating.” Zhang He reminded.

Song Zhizhi simply nodded.

For a long time, Ye Wenhan would participate in some of Commercial Management’s internal affairs, saying both inside and outside that he’s young and needs to learn, so needs to immerse himself in each department. In reality, Song Zhizhi understood very well that he simply wanted to control the Commercial Management, to firmly grasp all power in his own hands.

Song Zhizhi finished her relevant work, checked the time, and headed to the meeting room.

The meeting room.

Ye Wenhan sat in the middle, with the chairman of the meeting, Zhan Song, beside him.

The managers and supervisors of other departments were all sitting orderly.

Zhang Song began, “James Top World Group, one of the top ten companies in the world, is about to visit Yanshang Country to invest heavily in building their international business circle. There are currently only 3 countries in the world that have their circles, and this time they have chosen Jin City in our country, which is an affirmation of Yanshang Country’s economic capability! This will greatly aid our country’s economic status in the world in the future, and is also a great honor. With great benefits comes great responsibility. As the leading economic institution of Yanshang Country, this business circle entry project of James Group is bound to succeed.”

Everyone was very serious.

After Zhan Song made sure his thoughts had been conveyed, he continued, “Now, I’ll talk about task allocation. The three planning department managers still need to make a complete plan for this project. James Group’s CEO is preliminarily scheduled to arrive in Jin City on the 10th of next month, which means we only have 20 days to plan such a large international business circle. Fortunately, James Group has its own unique approach for the business circle, and we don’t need to participate too much, only need to introduce some of our unique local features. The key lies in, site selection for the business circle construction and drainage.”

“James Group has already conducted preliminary inspections before settling in, and has tentatively chosen the Airport District for its convenience and flat terrain, which is naturally ideal for constructing a business circle. The only downside is that there are many residential buildings that need to be demolished. Demolition has never been a small project in Yanshang Country. Drainage is also a vital point James Group is very concerned about. With the ubiquity of internet now, it directly led to the decline of sales performance of offline stores, so we need to prepare a flow plan in advance. Given the tight schedule of this project, the top leadership has requested that the three planning departments divide their tasks reasonably and not compete between departments.”

“Planning Department One is responsible for submitting national feature culture content, required to be immediately recognizable as ours. Planning Department Two is responsible for the site selection and demolition work, required to confirm the exact location of the international business circle within the specified time and eliminate all surrounding influences. Simply put, perfect demolition of residential buildings and commercial buildings should be achieved, without causing negative feedback. Planning Department Three is responsible for the drainage planning, required to be practicable, operational, and absolutely effective.”

After Zhan Song finished, he looked at the three managers, “I’ll send each department’s specific instruction sheets to everyone separately via OA. If there are any questions now, feel free to ask. If not, I need to see everyone’s results within 20 days.”

All three planning managers had no objections.

Zhan Song nodded slightly and respectfully turned to Ye Wenhan, “Does Mr. Ye have anything else to add?”

“Zhan Song has already outlined the seriousness, importance and responsibilities for this entry project very thoroughly, so I won’t go into further detail. I’ll just say that this entry project can bring at least five billion dollars in net profit to Yanshang Country. That’s not a small sum. I hope everyone here will give it their all.”

“Yes.”

“The timeline is tight so if anyone encounters any difficulties during the process, report them immediately to ensure the project proceeds smoothly. Mark my words, if anyone’s personal issues hinder the project’s progress, they will be held accountable.”

“Yes.”

“Well then, let’s not hold each other up any longer. Mr. Zhan, prepare the project countdown list. Inform me of each project communication meeting so that I can participate. I need to know the progress of each stage of the project.”

“Yes,” Zhan Song responded with the utmost respect.

Ye Wenhan gave a slight nod before being the first to leave the meeting room, exuding a strong aura.

Zhan Song gave a few more instructions and adjourned the meeting.

Song Zhizhi followed the crowd.

She was the manager of Planning Department Two, and her task was site selection and demolition.

As expected.

The most annoying and most conflict-prone work had fallen on her.

She returned to her office.

An OA notification popped up on her computer, she clicked on it to see the project details that Zhan Song had sent over.

Twenty days. It was indeed no easy task.
