448 A New Position
Song Ci laughed.
“Are you going to help me extort money again?”
“You’ll see.”
Lu Gan smiled. Shortly after, he called Song He.
“How did it go? Is he willing to sign the contract?”
Song He sounded extremely anxious.
“Little Mi is still young, but he’s very cautious. Regardless, I should be able to convince him since we’re friends.”
Song He said with a smile, “That’s good.”
“But…”
“But what?”
Lu Gan paused before continuing, “Little Mi has never been interested in the Song Corporation’s technological products. He doesn’t have faith in your abilities. I told him that I would be in charge of the cooperation project. Unfortunately, he didn’t believe me because my surname wasn’t Song. Uncle, as businessmen, you should know that we don’t suffer a loss for no reason. That’s why he wants Song Ci to be in charge. I don’t think it’s necessary, but Little Mi is very insistent.”
Upon hearing that, Song He thought, ‘Song Ci wants to get involved? No way! My current partner is good enough and I won’t let her take the huge profits. Did they think I’m stupid?’
Lu Gan expected Song He to be unwilling. He sighed and said, “Song Ci will listen to all of your commands. She’s an obedient and dutiful daughter. However, she’s already busy being the general manager of Sunlight Media and her career as an actress is just taking off. She doesn’t need more on her plate. Besides, this project isn’t that big of a deal. We should just forget about it. I’ll introduce you to other partners.”
Those words managed to change Song He’s mind.
‘He’s right. Song Ci is stupid and she’ll never harm me. I guess it’s fine for her to be in charge. I’ll still get the final say in everything.’
After making his decision, Song He said, “Alright. Song Ci will be in charge. I’ll arrange an official position for her. Let’s sign the contract now and begin working together.”
“Uncle, what position will you give to Song Ci? She must represent the Song Corporation. Otherwise, Little Mi wouldn’t even bat an eye. I don’t want to be embarrassed in front of my friend either.
Song He nodded to himself. Once again, he agreed with Lu Gan.
Lu Gan continued, “Uncle, you should make Song Ci the general manager. After all, she’s the one who will have to sign the contract. If her position is too low, Little Mi will think that you’re making a fool out of him.”
Song He felt that Lu Gan made sense.
‘The Song Company is firmly in my hands. Song Ci doesn’t know anything about business management anyway. Her position as the general manager is just for show. I also doubt she’ll dare to defy me.’
Meanwhile, Song Ci was confused.
‘Did I mishear? Am I going to be the general manager again?!’
Lu Gan was clearly much more ambitious than Song Ci when it came to extorting money from Song He.
“Everything is settled then. Don’t forget to prepare an office for Song Ci and inform all the other employees. It’d be awkward if they didn’t know we’re working together.”
“Of course. The contract must be signed.”
Song He still thought that Lu Gan was looking out for him.
