The City’s Strongest Son-in-law

Chapter 1038: Chapter 1037: Song Family Father and Son

Seeing Song Ming wave his hand, Song Minghe grew even more upset, pointing at Song Ming and saying, ”Even if Jiang City is great, it’s now entirely ruled by the Ye Family. They’re the top family in Jiang City. How can you stand against them with just your strength? Staying in Jiang City is nothing but humiliation for you!”

”Dad, Uncle Shen hasn’t played tricks on us,” Song Ming explained.

What does that mean? Uncle Shen hasn’t played tricks? But Song Yang seems lost. If it weren’t for encountering something at Water Real Estate, why would he be like this?

”Son, what’s really going on here?” Song Minghe asked curiously.

Song Yang first shook his head, then took several deep breaths. Even after an hour, he still thought it was too unbelievable, feeling as if it weren’t real at all.

”Father, Cheng Shi is returning to Beijing in a few days. After this loyal man leaves, Su Changfeng plans for me to take over Cheng Shi’s position as general manager,” Song Yang said in one breath, summoning courage.

Song Minghe’s shocked expression wasn’t any less than Song Yang’s when he first heard the news.

After a long silence, Song Minghe asked again, ”Son... what did you just say? Is there something wrong with my ears?”

”Dad, you didn’t hear wrong. Once Cheng Shi is gone, I’ll be the general manager of Water Real Estate,” Song Yang said again, leaning close to Song Minghe’s ear.

Song Minghe suddenly felt parched and nervous, his hands trembling uncontrollably. He turned a wooden face toward Song Yang and asked in a surprised tone, ”Son, did something shock you? Don’t be joking with your old dad; I can’t take such excitement.”

Looking at Song Minghe’s expression, Song Yang gave a slight smile and said, ”Dad, do I look like I’m joking with you?”

Song Minghe asked again, ”Are you really going to replace Cheng Shi and become the general manager of Water Real Estate?”

Even though Song Minghe had been quite depressed during this period, seeing his son become unemployed, he still paid close attention to business development. He knew very well what Cheng Shi represented in Jiang City’s industry. The city’s planning and ecological garden construction were Water Real Estate’s projects, with the leader being this loyal man. Previously, the top family, the Gu Family, played a minor role, and getting a share of these two major projects would be significant income, so many people were eyeing them. These people secretly tried to cozy up to Cheng Shi for benefits. If Song Yang truly succeeded Cheng Shi, the Tang Family’s status would rise significantly.

”Uh-huh!” Song Yang nodded.

”Son, could it be that you didn’t rest well yesterday, and heard it wrong today? Considering how we’ve treated Su Changfeng before, the fact that he forgives you and lets you return to Water Real Estate is already surprising. How could he possibly make you the general manager there? That would be like handing over all of Jiang City’s real estate projects for you to manage.” Song Minghe always felt this wasn’t real, as he thought Su Changfeng had no reason to arrange things this way.

Song Yang also couldn’t understand why Su Changfeng would arrange this way, as he had been consistently against him, saying unpleasant things to his face. If it were him, simply not avenging would be good; how could he possibly grant such significant authority?

Su Changfeng arranged this because, to him, Song Yang was quite insignificant, and such things didn’t linger in his mind. He might be at Tuo Shi in the future, and all worldly matters would be fleeting. Moreover, placing Song Yang at Water Real Estate was due to his capability. Past grievances didn’t weigh on Su Changfeng’s mind.

This is the difference between an ant and an elephant.

To Song Minghe and his son, this was groundbreaking. Yet, to Su Changfeng, it was just something that couldn’t stir his emotions.

”Father, it’s really Su Changfeng who arranged this, Cheng Shi...”

Song Yang was about to continue explaining when his phone in his suit suddenly rang melodiously.

Song Yang hastily took out his phone, seeing it was Cheng Shi calling, and immediately put it on speaker.

”Brother Cheng Shi, why call suddenly? Is there something urgent?” Song Yang asked confusedly, as Cheng Shi had explicitly given him a day to consider while at Water Real Estate, which hadn’t yet passed.

”Back in the office, I forgot to tell you something important. It’s also a reminder: no matter what happens in the future, never betray the young master. You mustn’t even think about it, let alone do it. Otherwise, you might end up worse than being an unemployed man before, possibly implicating your whole family. You’re smart, you should know what to do!” Cheng Shi said.

”Thanks, Brother Cheng Shi, for the reminder. I’ll definitely keep this in mind,” Song Yang replied with determination.

Hearing Song Yang’s reply, Cheng Shi skipped unnecessary words and directly hung up.

Suddenly, Song Yang, holding his phone, felt a thud of pain in his head. It turned out Song Minghe had forcefully hit from behind.

”Father, why hit me?” Song Yang asked, bewildered, rubbing the back of his head.

”Quickly return to your room now, do nothing else, and write down the few words the loyal man just said three thousand times. You must remember them. Don’t even think of betraying Su Changfeng,” Song Minghe commanded.

Song Yang helplessly smiled. He couldn’t have the courage even without his father’s reminder. Now, he’s profoundly aware of the disparity between him and Su Changfeng. He can keenly sense this gap would widen over time, regardless of being the general manager at Water Real Estate later, a reputable figure in Jiang City. Yet, he always feels Su Changfeng’s achievements aren’t confined to Jiang City, perhaps extending nationwide or even more.

Meanwhile, in a mountain villa, just returned from the cemetery, Su Changfeng seemed very down. He appeared visibly unhappy. Shen Hanxue knew he couldn’t let go of the past, but the words Su Changfeng said while offering incense at Nangong Qianqiu’s tombstone hinted at his thoughts.

”You, really a sharp tongue with a soft heart, openly unwilling to forgive him, but inside, you’re already wavering somewhat,” Shen Hanxue said to Su Changfeng.
