Gu Chen nodded politely in response to Charlie’s smiling face. However, from the slight furrow of his brow, Charlie could tell that he wasn’t particularly pleased.
Song Yi felt a sudden sense of relief seeing these two influential figures come to his home. It would be excellent if he could establish relationships with both families. Smiling, he said, “Mr. Brown, our collaboration is about to begin. We should interact more in the future. If you let me know in advance next time, I can prepare some special dishes.”
Although there was some unpleasantness with Song Fan in the afternoon, Song Yi, being a seasoned businessman, understood the significance of the collaboration with Charlie. He was also concerned that delays might lead to complications.
Especially after returning to the bedroom, he carefully examined the online photos again. The fact that the aerial restaurant reservation included photography and that the pictures were still circulating on the internet indicated that Charlie had chosen Song Fan from the beginning, not Meng Xia.
Given his experience in the business world, Song Yi even considered the possibility that Charlie might have discovered the jade mine through Yu Wan and approached Song Fan for collaboration. After weighing the pros and cons, he agreed to let Song Fan take charge of the project and informed Charlie promptly.
“Charlie, you didn’t reply to my message. I thought you were busy!” Meng Xia heard the voices downstairs and happily ran down.
She was dressed in a short, backless dress, playful and adorable. It was designed with a deep V, showcasing her graceful curves as she moved. Blushing, she said, “I thought you weren’t coming. It turns out you received my message.”
Charlie looked apologetic. “Sorry, my phone had some issues today, and I didn’t have it with me. I didn’t receive your message. Besides, I’m here to see Miss Song Fan. Since the two families are going to collaborate, I think it’s better to start some things early.”
His words stunned Meng Xia. It wasn’t for her; he was here to see Song Fan.
Doesn’t this prove that Song Yi still chose Song Fan to handle the jewelry brand? She couldn’t believe it as she looked at Song Yi, “Godfather, didn’t you say in the afternoon…”
She wanted to express that they had a difficult time in the afternoon. Why does Song Yi still assign the project to Song Fan? Isn’t he supposed to give me a chance to try?
However, she saw the warning look from Song Yi and refrained from speaking. Instead, she sought help by looking at Meng Yu, who had just come downstairs.
Meng Yu walked over, held her hand, and gently shook her head. She knew that Song Yi’s decision in this family was irrefutable. She kept signaling to Meng Xia not to provoke Song Yi’s anger.
When the maid called Song Fan downstairs, she was still pondering how to investigate Li Lan’s identity. She was somewhat surprised and confused when she saw Charlie and Gu Chen sitting in the living room, Song Yi and Meng Yu smiling warmly, and Meng Xia looking uneasy.
Upon seeing Meng Xia’s attire and her expression of distress, Song Fan understood Meng Xia’s intentions, but it seemed her plan had failed.
“Song Fan, you’ve finally come down. Are you already asleep so early? It doesn’t conform to the modern lifestyle of young people.” Charlie looked at her with a smile, completely ignoring the displeased expression on Gu Chen’s face.
Gu Chen glanced over as well. Song Fan was dressed casually in white sportswear, giving off a lazy vibe, like a cat that had just woken up.
Meng Xia gritted her teeth but didn’t dare to show her displeasure in front of Song Yi. Smiling, she said, “Yes, my sister usually goes straight to her room when she comes home. It seems that she’s giving respect to Mr. Gu.”
She wanted to make Charlie misunderstand. Since Gu Chen had come, she hoped Charlie would give up. She didn’t care who leaked the photos of Song
Fan and Charlie. As long as she could discredit Song Fan, it would be enough.
However, Charlie seemed indifferent and joked, “It looks like I’m benefiting. Fortunately, Mr. Gu is also here. Otherwise, we might not start our cooperation until tomorrow!”
He knew Song Fan’s proactive nature. If Song Yi informed her of his decision, Song Fan would have started preparing immediately.
Although it was unexpected, Song Fan quickly understood the meaning behind Charlie’s words. She had no intention of exposing Song Yi’s decision. “Indeed, my dad and I only discussed this matter in the afternoon. I didn’t expect the decision to be made so quickly. It seems our collaboration is about to begin?”
“Is it the jewelry brand collaboration Mr. Brown mentioned last time? It seems we also have the opportunity to cooperate?” Gu Chen suddenly interjected, leaving everyone present in shock..
