Song Yi certainly knew that it was impossible not to use Song Fan. He softened his tone and said, “You are the general manager; you should also be present.”
His words were ambiguous, implying the need for Song Fan’s presence but not specifying if she would be in charge. Even if he didn’t say it, Song Fan understood. Song Yi knew that the collaboration was about to be finalized, and he knew that Brown Group and Gu Corporation might not back out. That’s why he came to take credit.
Meng Xia chimed in, “If it weren’t for Dad’s reputation, how could you have secured such a good collaboration, sister? After all, you are part of the Song family and should prioritize the interests of the company. Everyone here is our elders. We should be grateful for their help.”
Li Na’s mouth twitched, about to erupt again, but Lan Yue held her hand and shook her head. Lan Yue knew her boss’s temper well. If they wanted to push Song Fan out of this matter, they had to be prepared to lose.
As expected, Song Fan nodded seriously. “Fine, since the company’s leaders are here, and representatives from Brown Group and Gu Corporation will arrive soon, I won’t be the one taking the lead.”
She casually tossed the previously drafted contract on the table. “This is the contract for this collaboration. Since I’m not needed, my team and I will leave now.”
“What do you mean by leaving now?” Song Yi slammed the table in anger. The people beside him dared not speak; they knew he was angry.
But Meng Xia secretly pulled him and showed him the message that Charlie had just sent to her.
The message read, “Dear Xiaoxia, I’ll be at Song Group soon. Be prepared in the meeting room; wait for me, okay?”
From Charlie’s tone, it was evident that he knew Meng Xia had also come to the company and seemed to have no objection to Meng Xia taking charge of this work.
Song Yi’s expression eased slightly. He didn’t want Song Fan to continue meddling in this matter. Meng Xia had little experience, and without any backing in the company, everything would depend on him.
He quickly changed his tone, smiling. “Since you have other matters to attend to, you can go back. Lan Yue is your assistant; let her stay and help Meng Xia with the upcoming work.”
Song Fan snorted inwardly. She only had this one job in the company, what else did she need to do? And letting Meng Xia take charge made Song Fan even more disdainful.
If Charlie was only interested in the Song Corporation, it didn’t matter who he collaborated with. But dealing with Jason without Song Fan would be impossible.
As for Gu Chen, Song Fan smirked. If Gu Chen hadn’t made Song Yi unable to step down, this matter might not come to an end.
Without looking back, she left. Li Na and the others looked at each other and then left the meeting room, leaving behind the somewhat awkward Lan Yue.
Lan Yue looked at the chairman somewhat speechlessly. She really couldn’t understand how someone as smart as Song Fan could have such a foolish father. He asked me to stay at this moment, wouldn’t it prove that I was a spy planted next to Song Fan?
Meng Xia, on the other hand, walked over happily, and then affectionately linked arms with Lan Yue. “Your name is Lan Yue, right? I’m Meng Xia, Song Fan’s sister. You should know me, right?”
Looking at Meng Xia’s expectant face, Lan Yue reluctantly nodded. “Yes, you are also Miss Song.”
The term “Miss Song” made Meng Xia extremely happy. She even thought about whether she should change her last name. In the future, she would be the legitimate Miss Song.
Thinking about what Charlie had said before about adopted daughters having inheritance rights, her smile grew even bigger. “You don’t have to call me Miss Song. Just call me Xiaoxia. You’ll have to help me later during the signing. I’m a bit nervous about taking on such a big collaboration for my first job!”
Lan Yue looked at her, not knowing what to say. The pride on her face was about to overflow; she was not a good actress.
As for the other people in the meeting room, they were discussing how to sign contracts with the two groups and how to promote the jewelry brand in the later stage.
It wasn’t until Gu Chen and Charlie entered the large meeting room simultaneously that everyone fell silent, but the joy was evident on everyone’s faces.
“We’ve been waiting for you two for a long time. This is truly a glorious moment!” Song Yi stood up first, warmly saying, “Please take a seat.”
Staff members were guiding the two to their seats, but no one moved.
When Charlie received Meng Xia’s messages, he knew what Song Yi wanted to do. That was why he replied to Meng Xia like that. After all, he was a foreigner, and it was normal for him to misunderstand some phrases.
Gu Chen surveyed the room and then asked Lan Yue, “Where is Miss Song?”
