Shi Nuan had only heard about it and didn’t care much.
Unexpectedly, Song Yansheng actually made a reservation there.
But upon careful thought, the necklace Song Yansheng gifted was prepared well in advance.
And choosing that moment to give it was due to an accident; he probably intended to present it while dining in shuijing City before.
"Ah, right, Young Madam, you previously..."
Zhang Xiaolian seemed to want to ask something, but just as he opened his mouth, a sudden ringtone interrupted him.
It was Shi Nuan’s phone.
Shi Nuan apologized, "Sorry," and Zhang Xiaolian shrugged with a smile, saying nothing further.
Shi Nuan picked up her phone and glanced at it, her eyes flickered lightly because the call was from Ji Xia.
Ji Xia is someone who knows boundaries and wouldn’t call at this time unless it’s important.
She instinctively glanced at Zhang Xiaolian in front, hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
Shi Nuan responded with a "Hmm" and asked, "What’s up? Is there something?"
Ji Xia sighed before speaking: "...Nuannuan, do you know about the Lishui Project launching on the sixth of next month?"
Shi Nuan was momentarily stunned, softly saying, "I’ve heard of it, but I’m not very familiar... What’s wrong?"
Ji Xia said, "This project has been targeted by the Song Family for a long time. Although there are several companies planning to bid, comparatively, the Song Family has the best chance. But I just found out that the Shi Family seems intent on interfering, competing with the Song Family for this project..."
Shi Nuan frowned, wanting to ask how that could be, since Yu Du has a marriage agreement with Song Qingyang.
Would he compete for the piece of meat his future father-in-law craves?
But because Zhang Xiaolian was sitting in front, she could only say, "I understand... let’s leave it at that, I have something to deal with, goodbye!"
On the other side, Ji Xia paused, quickly realizing that Shi Nuan must be in an inconvenient position to talk.
She sighed, saying, "Then I’ll wait for your call back!"
Shi Nuan replied, "Okay!"
Swiftly, the call ended.
Almost the instant the call ended, Shi Nuan remembered something.
Probably before Song Yansheng went abroad on business, Yu Du had once gone to TK to see Song Yansheng.
At that time, she didn’t think much, assuming Yu Du had some business matters to discuss with Song Yansheng.
Thinking back now, could it have been about the Lishui Project?
Shi Nuan had to admit, Song Yansheng was very good to Song Yichuan, including Song Qingyang.
Towards his cousin Song Zhongming, he was also very respectful and courteous, founding his own company upon returning to the country, potentially handing over the Song Family’s assets to his cousin.
Shi Nuan doesn’t want to assume the worst about people, but given the series of incidents in the Song Family one after another, the sudden change of ownership, could there really not be any connection?
Shi Nuan didn’t buy it.
That Song Yansheng appeared unmoved on the surface, truly having no resentment towards his cousin Song Zhongming?
Shi Nuan didn’t believe it either!
The human heart is greedy, and Song Yansheng is not a kindly person. When ruthless, he can be more ruthless than anyone!
Yet there are certain things he cannot openly do, having to "kill by another’s hand"; the Shi Family with Yu Du indeed is a commendable "knife"!
Even if this knife is a double-edged one, given Song Yansheng’s arrogance, he would likely accept it without hesitation!
Involuntarily lowering her gaze, her fingers holding the phone slightly clenched!
For some reason, she felt that a mighty storm was brewing in the commercial world of T city, and its focal point was Song Yansheng!
