Chapter 380: Snatching Merit
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Sister, Dad knew that you signed the contract today, and he came early in the morning to support you.” Meng Xia proudly stood beside Song Yi, “After all, it’s a big event for the company, and Dad cares a lot. Moreover, for such a significant collaboration, wouldn’t it be more appropriate for the chairman to sign?”
She deliberately no longer called Song Yi “Godfather” to highlight her status.
Even though she was an adopted daughter, she was still a young lady of the Song family. If she wanted to make a name for herself in the company, she couldn’t let others look down on her.
This was her first appearance in front of the Song Corporation’s people, and she had to prove her position in the Song family.
Song Yi had known that the collaboration was almost finalized yesterday. Being an experienced player in the business world, he was well aware that the photos of Song Fan and Charlie were negative news for the Song Group. However, he didn’t clarify because he knew what Song Fan was up to. Profiting effortlessly was something he would never miss.
From Song Yi’s standpoint, having such an outstanding daughter achieving so much before the age of 20 was something he envied.
But thinking about the fact that Song Fan had not been with him since childhood, even if others acknowledged Song Fan’s achievements, they might attribute it to her innate intelligence or speculate that she inherited the business acumen of the Yu family. Therefore, he felt the need to suppress Song Fan.
Song Fan coldly looked at these people and then said indifferently, “Is it the turn of an outsider to meddle in the affairs of the Song Corporation? Or is my position as the general manager just a decoration, and the Song Group always promotes based on merit?”
She gave these people a disdainful look. “It seems that you executives are quite familiar with this process. Have you come to claim credit for our department’s work?”
“What do you mean by claiming credit?” Meng Xia’s face turned red. Song Fan’s words had already embarrassed her, and at this moment, she had to align with Song Yi to avoid Song Fan gaining the upper hand.
“The company originally belonged to Dad. Even if you negotiated the collaboration, do you think they cooperated because of you? Isn’t it because of the Song Corporation?” Meng Xia almost shouted.
“If it weren’t for the Song Corporation, with just you, would they cooperate? Sister, you need to know who gave you the confidence!”
Lan Yue and others, who had already entered the meeting room, sensed that something was wrong. While others didn’t understand what was happening, Lan Yue was the first to realize that this was an attempt to take credit.
Before she could refute anything, Li Na rushed out first, “Who do you think you are? Does the Song Corporation need your opinion? You dressed like a D-class actress, with such a short skirt, you don’t look like a young lady at all. You just came to the company to embarrass yourself.”
She didn’t give Meng Xia a chance to retort. Li Na was used to being arrogant at home, and she rarely encountered opposition when she went out. She didn’t care who the person in front of her was. She continued, “If it’s not for Miss Song, is it for you? How come I heard that it was Charlie who insisted on collaborating with Miss Song? And who is Gu Chen? Do you think he would be interested in the Song Corporation?”
As soon as her words were spoken, Wen Chao quickly pulled at her clothes. Li Na dared to say anything when she got angry. This statement directly offended everyone present!
Indeed, the expressions of all the executives present did not look good, especially Song Yi’s face. Meng Xia wanted to continue arguing but was stopped by him, “Xiaoxia, don’t interrupt. Don’t you see the occasion?”
Li Na was the only heir to the Li family’s appraiser in this generation. If the Song Corporation wanted to enter the jewelry industry, at least in A City, they couldn’t offend the Li family.
Meng Xia looked at Song Fan and the others resentfully. She had already decided that when she entered the company in the future, she must not show a good face to these people. She had to establish her position in the Song Corporation and not let people look down on her.
Song Yi stared at Song Fan and said, “This collaboration involves such a large investment and concerns three groups. As the chairman, I naturally need to oversee it.”
He looked at the other executives beside him. “These are all veteran members of the company’s management. They have a rich experience. When it comes to marketing and promotion, you will need their help. Let them guide you, there should be no problem.”
His words made everyone present smile. If they could get involved in the jewelry brand, each department would benefit.
Meng Xia also quietly touched Song Yi’s arm on the side, and he said, “Xiaoxia is also your sister. Since she has entered the company, let her help you with this cooperation and let her take charge of a part of it.”
Li Na was about to say something more, but Song Fan stopped her.. She said expressionlessly, “So, this signing doesn’t need me anymore?”
