The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Capítulo 1036: Chapter 1035: Song Yang’s Uneasy Heart

After Su Changfeng walked far away, Ye Qingtian asked Huo Tian, who was standing behind him, “Do you think I’m making it too difficult for him by asking him to pay respects to Shangguan Feihong?”

“Yes, Master,” Huo Tian replied honestly. As Su Changfeng’s teacher, he had been by Su Changfeng’s side all along. He knew how Shangguan Feihong had treated Su Changfeng before, even when Su Changfeng was just a child, it was still so cruel.

If he were Su Changfeng, he would definitely not pay respects to Shangguan Feihong today, otherwise he would not have forgotten past hatred because Shangguan Feihong has now entered the Yellow Springs.

“Sigh!” Ye Qingtian let out a heavy sigh.

The next day, the sleepless Song Yang got up from bed, ready to tidy up and head to Waterfront Real Estate. His mood was very complex at that moment—excited yet anxious.

After all, since he was dismissed by Weishui Real Estate, despite Jiang City having thousands of companies, none dared to hire him, so since then, Song Yang hasn’t had a stable job, surviving on the savings from his past struggles.

But now, he found an opportunity to work again, and it was still with Waterfront Real Estate.

“Song Yang, this time Shen Zhenhua spoke well for you, helping you return to Weishui Real Estate. No matter what method you use, you must perform well,” Song Minghe said to Song Yang.

In the past, Song Minghe liked to compare himself with Shen Zhenhua because he knew his living standard was higher, especially his status. Although Shen Zhenhua is also a son of the Shen Family, his status there wasn’t high, and he wasn’t taken seriously; his days weren’t comfortable. So, Song Minghe liked to prove how well he was living by making things difficult for Shen Zhenhua.

However, recently, Shen Zhenhua has recognized his worth, now that Su Changfeng is a major figure in Jiang City, and the Shen Family has become the city’s leading family. Previously, he could compare his son with Shen Zhenhua, but now? With what can he compare? He no longer has the capital to compete with Shen Zhenhua, and if he continues to compare, it would be like asking for trouble, like an egg hitting a stone.

His only hope now is for his son, Song Yang, to return to Weishui Real Estate and work well—not to develop exceptionally, but at least to recover to his past level.

“Dad, don’t worry. I’ve wised up to reality, knowing there’s a world of difference between myself and Su Changfeng, so I know what to do,” Song Yang sighed.

Song Minghe nodded slightly and said, “A real man can bend and stretch, that’s a good trait. I also understand you might feel wronged or unwilling, but sometimes you have to keep it inside and not show a bit of it.”

Song Yang smiled wryly, feeling helpless as he said, “Dad, you think too highly of your son. I have no unwillingness now. Honestly, compared to Su Changfeng, who is now at such a high status in Jiang City, even if I spent a lifetime striving, I wouldn’t match his little toe, let alone surpass him.”

Song Minghe shook his head helplessly, not blaming his son for being unambitious. He now also feels that no matter how hard his son works, it’s truly impossible to surpass Su Changfeng. He feels helpless because Song Yang used to be his pride; during gatherings with old classmates, he would praise his son. But now, things are drastically different; his once proud son has become unemployed.

“Alright, it’s getting late; eat breakfast quickly and head to the company.” Song Minghe reminded.

Half an hour later, Song Yang left home and drove toward Weishui Real Estate. But the closer he got, the more nervous he grew inside, because that place was where he had been fired.

Standing in front of the company, nervous enough to hear his own heartbeat, Song Yang cheered himself on internally.

When Song Yang pushed the door open and entered the company, many eyes were on him. After all, any employee who had worked for some time knew why Song Yang was removed from Weishui Real Estate in the past. Now suddenly appearing before them naturally struck them as odd.

Seeing everyone’s gaze fixed on him, Song Yang became even more nervous. Despite having been colleagues in the past, he didn’t greet anyone, kept his head down, and quickly headed to Cheng Shi’s office.

In the past, Song Yang walked with confidence and had a strong belief in himself. But now, things had changed; inside, he felt inferior, even unable to face his colleagues.

This was because recently, while searching for jobs, he faced various setbacks, deeply wounding his self-esteem.

Finally reaching the door of Zhong Hanliang’s office, Song Yang took a deep breath and gathered courage to knock three times.

Cheng Shi was already seated in the office early; like Song Yang, he too tossed and turned last night. He had aimed to enter the core of the Ye Family, but was later assigned to Jiang City by Shangguan Feihong. He really felt hopeless at that time, as the Ye Family went through transformations, and his support was gone. The one who had promised him had passed away. But what he hadn’t anticipated was that during those hopeless times, Su Changfeng came.

Surprisingly, Su Changfeng told him he could leave Weishui Real Estate for the Ye Family from Beijing, and even take over all their industries. Although without the Ye Family’s head title, it was still an authoritative position. This was something many people dreamed of!

“Come in.” As Song Yang was contemplating these thoughts, he suddenly heard knocking, instinctively saying.

Song Yang cautiously pushed the door open, lowered his head, and called out to Cheng Shi, “Brother Cheng Shi.”

Cheng Shi nodded and asked, “You’re quite early, tell me, what position here do you want to take?”

For Song Yang now, having a company willing to hire him was already a heaven-sent opportunity, so he didn’t hope for much more. He hadn’t thought about continuing as a manager at Weishui Real Estate. Despite recent disappointments, he believed in his ability; even starting from the bottom at Weishui Real Estate, he could rise in a few years.

“Brother Cheng Shi, you know my situation now. I’m not asking for much; just place me wherever the company needs people,” Song Yang said with a smile.

“Haha! Well said, just right, there’s a spot for a Town Lord open in this office; dare to take it?” Cheng Shi laughed heartily, then suddenly changed his tone, his eyes fixed intensely on Song Yang.
