Chapter 695 - 696: Aunt Visits
Song Xiaodong had called Lu Lang before returning home, telling him about the day’s events at the Su Family, to which Lu Lang immediately agreed to help relay the message.
Less than half an hour later, Lu Lang called back and said, "The higher-ups want you to take over, to prevent other families from growing stronger."
Song Xiaodong’s eyes narrowed as he said, "I understand."
Lu Lang laughed and said, "Yes, this is a good opportunity. With the Su Family as your foundation, your future development will be much easier."
Song Xiaodong gave a bitter smile and said, "It’s not that development is easier, but rather the burden has become heavier. I fear that sooner or later I will become the public enemy of all the major families."
Lu Lang laughed heartily and said, "That’s something I don’t understand, but I know you, my boy, have made a fortune—ten billion US dollars, I’m so envious."
Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but laugh as well and said, "Then I’ll give it to you. You can handle this."
"No deal! I’d rather stick to my troops. I can’t handle this kind of thing. You’ve grown up so quickly. Just a few years ago, you were still my soldier, and now you’re on an equal footing with me—oh, no, you’re even better than me now. You’ll have to look out for me in the future."
"Old Chief, you flatter me, it makes me feel unworthy."
The two of them joked briefly before hanging up the phone.
