Chapter 729: Chapter 480: Extra Marriage - A Journey of Poverty (3)

...

The company.

Su Tianqing sat in the president’s office, Xiao Yan brought in a cup of coffee, thinking that if the company was gone, she would have to find another job.

But to her surprise, not only did the company give her a raise, they also made her the president’s assistant.

"President Su, your coffee..." Xiao Yan placed the coffee on his desk.

Su Tianqing took a sip, "Have you been in contact with her?"

Which her?

Before Xiao Yan could gather her thoughts, Su Tianqing said, "Song Ziyu!"

"President Song, has she returned?" Xiao Yan immediately asked excitedly, "She’s been out of touch, I heard she went to a remote area to teach! Oh my God, she’s back, I... I really want to see her..."

As Xiao Yan was speaking, she noticed that Su Tianqing’s expression had soured, so she stopped talking, but her heart was filled with indescribable joy.

Su Tianqing didn’t say anything else, he just waved his hand to dismiss her.

That evening, Xiao Yan invited Song Ziyu out to a café.

"President Song..." Xiao Yan ran up to her excitedly.

Song Ziyu looked at her: "Don’t call me President Song anymore, you can call me Teacher Song... or Sister Song..."

"You really went to teach! You are so amazing!" Xiao Yan exclaimed: "Do you know? Every decision you make is so impressive!"

"What’s so impressive about teaching?" Song Ziyu laughed, "Come on, I haven’t had coffee in a long time."

As soon as they met, Xiao Yan couldn’t bear to leave her, clamoring that she wanted to go teach with her.

"Ok, focus on your job!" said Song Ziyu, "How is work going?"

"Sister Song, I’m still at the company, now the boss is President Su, you won’t hold it against me, right?" Xiao Yan looked at her.

"Silly girl, am I that kind of person?" Song Ziyu patted her head, "If he wasn’t treating you all well, you would have left a long time ago. He wouldn’t let our personal issues affect the company!"

Xiao Yan nodded, "There haven’t been many changes in the company’s top management, but, I heard them say, no one would have expected this prodigal son to revive the company! So, many people both fear and respect him."

Not only did the company’s higher-ups misjudge him, even Song Ziyu herself did, she never expected that beneath Su Tianqing’s façade, he had deceived so many people.

When a true lion decides to achieve greatness in his own domain, he naturally takes action.

"That’s good, work is most important," Song Ziyu sipped her coffee, the taste of a long-missed coffee reminded her of the past.

Xiao Yan looked at her intently: "But we all miss you..."

"Miss me? Focus on your work!" Song Ziyu smiled faintly.

"Sister Song, aren’t you coming back?" Xiao Yan looked at her with anticipation.

Song Ziyu shook her head: "I won’t return, after the New Year, I will go back to teaching, I love the children, I love the feeling of being with them... When you have a long holiday, come to visit me! But remember, bring gifts for the children..."

"Definitely, definitely..." Xiao Yan said happily.

...

Soon, the news from Qiao Xiaoyan came through.

"Ziyu, great news, the experts said many are rare minerals. What do you plan to do?" Qiao Xiaoyan asked her, "Find someone to develop them? They could fetch a good price!"

"No!" Song Ziyu had her long-term plan in mind, "Since they are rare minerals and non-renewable, I will not sell them. I will look for investors to turn this small town into the only craft town in the whole world, to let their culture be passed on forever, to make the town’s residents live in peace and happiness, and to have people from all over the world come to visit. Our country will also have such a beautiful and unique town."

"Wow, Ziyu, do you know? When you came back from teaching, the first time I saw you, your eyes were so calm, I thought you really would just teach for the rest of your life, living a life of obscurity." Qiao Xiaoyan exclaimed, "Who would have thought you are so ambitious, I really admire you..."

Song Ziyu chuckled wryly: "Don’t admire me just yet, this is only a plan. You know, to be successful, it’s not going to happen overnight. First, I have to get the government’s approval, and most importantly, there must be capital investment. Otherwise, if there is a problem at any point, it’s all just empty talk."

"You don’t have to worry about the capital!" Qiao Xiaoyan said, "Both of your cousins are rich, Doctor Gu is idle in the company, but he is the major shareholder! And your second cousin, he’s a powerful CEO with real authority..."

"They are my last trump cards, not to be used lightly." Song Ziyu had her plans; they were her closest family members, and she must seek their help only when she really needed them. She has always been a woman with her own ideas and strong independence. Asking others for help is something she seldom does.

Qiao Xiaoyan was full of admiration: "Ah, I feel like you were born to be an entrepreneur; teaching might really not suit you..."

"No, I teach very well," Song Ziyu snorted, "By the way, are you going back to your parents for the New Year?"

"Not going back, they are coming to the country this year, my sister is having a baby." Qiao Xiaoyan said, "However, they are urging me to find a boyfriend, so annoying..."

"You can be annoyed at your leisure; I need to go look for investors." Song Ziyu hung up the phone.

Song’s mother brought over some sweet soup: "Ziyu, have some!"

"Thank you, mom!" Song Ziyu took it, sipping while flipping through the contact list on her phone.

"Ziyu, you seem very busy!" Song’s mother observed her, she thought that after Ziyu went to teach, she wouldn’t have any friends to contact, and that she had gone to heal from heartbreak, but it seemed she was unaffected, still very busy...

"Mom..." Song Ziyu said, "I might be busy on a project recently, but when my small town is built, you’re welcome to retire there!"

Song’s mother smiled: "Is it a big project, isn’t it? I knew it, teaching would just bury your talents... Okay, okay, my daughter is capable, I will definitely go live there... Have the soup now, it gets bad when it’s cold in winter, and you should also sleep early tonight..."

"Mom, I know." Song Ziyu ushered her mother back to her room and continued to work with the light on, first making a broad outline and then listing some details.

Before the New Year, Song Ziyu met up with some previous business partners for a meal at a hotel.

What she hadn’t expected, among those who came, was Su Tianqing.

Seeing him turn up, Song Ziyu was naturally very displeased.

"Ziyu, one more person means more strength..." one of the attendees said, "Besides, Su’s influence in the business circle is very strong right now..."

"Even so, I don’t want to work with him." Song Ziyu said outright.

Su Tianqing stuffed his hands into his pockets, lazy as ever, but spoke with biting sarcasm: "I originally thought someone would change after teaching, but it turns out you’re still so profit-driven, gathering my clients to invest in the small town!"

"Am I really driven by profit alone? Or am I trying to develop the town’s unique crafts? I don’t need your commentary!" Song Ziyu said coldly, "You’re not included in the people I invited today."

Su Tianqing looked at the client who invited him: "If this woman is at the table today, I’m not eating!"

The client immediately tried to smooth things over with a smile: "The two of you, it’s just a meal and discussion about development, why be like this? Everyone is friends when we meet, right? And we are all dignitaries in the business circle, why should we avoid each other forever?"

Song Ziyu and Su Tianqing both looked at each other at the same time, both are masters of never dealing with each other!
