Chapter 43 Crowd
Seeing Mr. Zhong walking out of the office with an unfriendly expression, everyone present fell silent.
Even Fan Song, the fool who feared nothing, remained silent.
At this time, Mr. Zhong walked up to Yang Xu and the others. "Yang Xu, if I remember correctly, Liu Shang is the special assistant assigned by Chairman Song to me and Professor Xu, right?"
"You don't need to explain anything to me. As for what you're thinking, you can't hide it from me, Zhong Gaokuang."
"From today onwards, if any of you still want to assign work to Liu Shang, please ask me or Professor Xu for permission first!"
Afterward, Mr. Zhong came to Fan Song and sneered twice.
"I didn't realize, Fan Song, you're quite the big shot around here."
"So you think you're the number one figure in the office?"
Seeing Mr. Zhong like this, Fan Song was not angry, but instead laughed obsequiously. "Hey, Mr. Zhong, you must be joking."
"It was just for fun, just for fun..."
Mr. Zhong snorted coldly. "Hmph, you're a warehouse and equipment manager, yet you came here to order around an engineer?"
"I know you're a relative of Mr. Song's family. No one can offend you. Even I, Zhong Gaokuang, am just an employee, no exception."
"Okay, you can bring your notebooks to my office, and I will record the data for you myself!"
Before Mr. Zhong finished speaking, Fan Song immediately smiled and apologized, and his notebooks were also put away.
Afterward, once the matter subsided, Mr. Zhong and Xu Tiande called Liu Shang into the office.
At this time, Mr. Zhong dropped his previous seriousness and burst out laughing.
"What did I say, Professor Xu? Liu Shang isn't someone who is easy to deal with, is he?"
"Even a character like Fan Song didn't get the upper hand at all, did he?"
Xu Tiande shook his head. "I say, Mr. Zhong, the two of us can protect Liu Shang for a while, but we can't protect him forever."
"Now that Liu Shang has offended people like Fan Song and Chen Xu, I'm afraid there will always be troubles in his future work."
Mr. Zhong didn't answer, but instead glanced at Liu Shang and asked, "Boy Liu, what do you think of Professor Xu's worries?"
Hearing this, Liu Shang glanced faintly at Chen Xu and the others outside the glass, and then snorted softly, "It's just a mob, nothing to worry about."
Mr. Zhong laughed and took a sip of tea. "You kid, you really are audacious."
"But young people should have such vigor!"
"Liu Shang, you also attended today's meeting. Professor Xu's side is under a lot of pressure right now. Please help your Professor Xu with some work and study hard."
"I think Mr. Song is right. That Ma Yuan can't be reused, so I'm going to have you help Professor Xu share the pressure!"
...
On the way home from work, Song Guangyuan's driver was also quite tactful and didn't deliberately talk about what happened in the office in the afternoon.
Song Guangyuan nodded, but didn't say anything.
He naturally knew what kind of person Fan Song was and how many such people there were in his company.
A private enterprise, especially a private petroleum services enterprise, involves far more complex interpersonal relationships than other industries.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for the company to have many relatives like Fan Song or people connected to clients in the oil field.
As long as they don't cause trouble and seriously violate company discipline, most of the company's executives will turn a blind eye.
What's more, Song Guangyuan, who was facing a lot of pressure now, didn't have the time or energy to take care of these trivial matters.
When Song Guangyuan walked into the house, to his surprise, a guest had come. It was Song Sha, the daughter of his friend and business partner.
"Hello, Uncle Song."
"I've come to your house for a free meal again!"
Seeing Song Sha and Song Jia appearing in front of him together, Song Guangyuan smiled.
"Haha, it's Song Sha. I was just telling your Aunt Wu a while ago that I hadn't seen you for a long time."
"Jiajia, you too. Why didn't you tell me in advance, so I could have bought some seafood, lobster, and so on?"
"Hehe, Uncle Song, don't buy that stuff. I'm here just to have a home-cooked meal. After all, I've really had enough of school and restaurant food."
Song Guangyuan laughed too. "Haha, you kid. It's been several months since school started. You must be homesick, right?"
"If you have time, whenever Jiajia comes back, the two of you should come home and stay for a few days, do laundry, that sort of thing."
"It's not like our family doesn't have a place for you to stay!"
At this time, Song Jia's mother, Wu Caiyun, also happened to come out of the kitchen.
"Lao Song is back?"
"Look at these two girls, how nice they are, they are like sisters."
"Sasha, the last vegetable stew has been served. We will have dinner in a while. Are you hungry?"
Song Sha nodded with a smile. "Well, I'm really hungry."
"The main reason is that Aunt Wu, your cooking skills are awesome. I'm full of appetite just smelling the aroma."
Wu Caiyun was also amused by her, and then suddenly asked after changing the subject: "By the way, Sasha, you are now in college."
"Is there any boy you like in school? I can look out for you."
Song Sha smiled and shook her head. "Aunt Wu, not yet."
"Besides, I can't be in a hurry to find a boyfriend. I have to find someone who is excellent, has substance, likes me, and has a good family background, right?"
"So, the search is currently underway, and no suitable candidates have been found yet, haha..."
At this time, Wu Caiyun and her husband Song Guangyuan looked at each other, and then Wu Caiyun glanced at her daughter Song Jia meaningfully.
"Look, this child, Sasha, is so sensible."
"Auntie also thinks what you said is right. When a girl chooses a boyfriend, she must consider many aspects. Not only must he be handsome and talented, but the most important thing is that he likes you, has a good personality, and his family background should not be too bad."
"There's a saying, it's hard for a noble son to come from a poor family. You have to find a family that is a good match!"
"Sasha, you should help Auntie look after Jiajia more at school, and have her avoid dealing with those troublesome and unsavory boys."
Hearing Wu Caiyun's words, Song Sha was obviously taken aback. "Aunt Wu, are you talking about Tan Feng and the others?"
Seeing Song Sha misunderstood, Wu Caiyun smiled and waved her hands, "Haha, no, no."
"Tan Feng, Zhou Liang, and Lu Kai have been Jiajia's classmates since junior high school. They have been good friends for many years."
"Especially that Tan Feng, I really like that child, and I am very familiar with his mother."
"If Jiajia really finds Tan Feng as her boyfriend, I really have no objection."
"What I'm afraid of right now is that Jiajia has been confused by some scheming boys, such as the one named Liu..."
Before Wu Caiyun uttered the word "Liu," Song Jia on the other side was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and directly dragged Song Sha back to her bedroom.
"Mom! Look what you talk about all day!"
"So inappropriate!!!"
"We're going back to the house, call us when dinner is ready..."
