Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Lan Yue greeted Song Fan with a sincere and respectful smile, seemingly unaware of who Song Fan was.
Song Fan, unsure of Lan Yue’s intentions, followed her inside.
The so-called reception party turned out to be a routine event for company employees, with a banner welcoming Song Fan.
Song Yi seemed indifferent, delivering a few formal words in a dignified manner and then introducing, “I believe everyone is aware that Song Corporation is set to collaborate with the Brown Group to establish a new jewelry brand. The reason we can work with such internationally influential groups is the result of Song Corporation’s continuous efforts in building a positive corporate image. This achievement is inseparable from every employee here…”
Having been in the business world for many years, Song Yi has acquired leadership habits, especially his penchant for holding meetings and delivering speeches. Some younger employees found it a bit tedious, lowering their heads to listen.
Song Fan, growing impatient, couldn’t stand idly by.
Just as she was about to step forward, Lan Yue approached first. “Mr. Song, you’re right,” she said, applauding with admiration. “It’s because of your wise leadership that Song Corporation has achieved such remarkable success!”
Song Yi was visibly pleased, his smile widening. Lan Yue continued, “So this time, you’ve asked Miss Song to lead us, allowing us to inherit your legacy and provide the younger generation with an opportunity to learn.”
Lan Yue’s words redirected everyone’s attention to Song Fan. Many were surprised by her beauty, distinct from Song Yin’s, and her more assertive temperament.
Some of the Yu family’s old employees were slightly stunned. Song Fan wasn’t entirely similar to Yu Wan; her beauty was more striking, and her temperament stronger. Yet, they could still see glimpses of the gentle and kind
Yu Wan.
However, news of Song Yin’s death had spread rapidly in the company, causing a shift in sentiment. Many employees, fond of Song Yin, viewed her as a clever girl who knew when to step back. Her death was widely mourned.
Song Fan’s return, especially among those who had worked closely with Meng Yu, was met with some hostility. Some believed her presence had led to the recent upheavals.
Yet, many young employees admired Song Fan for her bravery, even though the details of her defusing a bomb weren’t widely known. She had saved the bodyguards at the scene, earning her praise from both the public and the police. Younger staff members were curious about her.
As everyone’s gaze remained on Song Fan, Song Yi coughed and introduced, “This is my daughter, Song Fan. I believe many of you already know her. She will be overseeing the jewelry project and acting as the general manager. All matters related to the cooperation with the Brown Group will be under her purview.”
He then turned his attention to a few young people. “Are the individuals I designated as Song Fan’s assistants present?”
Lan Yue promptly stepped forward. “Yes, all three are here.”
Song Fan scrutinized the three individuals in front of her. The girl appeared to be around 20 years old, likely just an intern.
She glanced at Song Yi’s satisfied expression, realizing that her father wouldn’t relinquish his authority easily.
Satisfied with the team members, Song Yi smiled kindly. “Song Fan, these are the members of your team. Lan Yue, who is quite familiar with the company, will be your assistant. She is an efficient secretary, and I reluctantly let her go to assist you. Don’t disappoint your dad.”
Song Fan smiled and nodded, inwardly cursing her father for not arranging more competent staff for her. However, now that she was part of Song Corporation, there were certain things beyond her father’s control.
The brief welcome party concluded, and a few people accompanied Song Fan to her office. Lan Yue took the opportunity to introduce them, “Miss Song, we are the members of your department..”
