Chapter 1050: Chapter 1051: This is too awesome
Hearing the off tone in Su Yao’s voice, Qian Shouyang immediately said: “Su Yao, am I wrong? Working hard on our own business, aren’t we better than those who rely on someone else for a living?”
“Rely on someone else?” Su Yao glanced at Qian Shouyang, saying: “Qian Shouyang, I think you’ve really studied yourself silly.”
Then she walked straight toward Song Xiaodong, no longer speaking with Qian Shouyang.
“Studied myself silly?” Qian Shouyang was choked by Su Yao’s words, unable to recover for a while, feeling even more defiant inside. Isn’t Song Xiaodong’s success all because he married a wealthy woman? Doesn’t that make him someone who relies on someone else?
Luckily, Qian Shouyang wasn’t completely lacking in emotional intelligence and did not go over to Song Xiaodong to say anything spiteful, though he remained quite displeased in his heart.
Clenching his fists, Qian Shouyang pumped himself up internally, saying: “Hmph, although you’re currently ahead of me, soon I’ll show you that relying on my ability, I’ll surpass you eventually.”
While Song Xiaodong was chatting with Miao Qingyuan, Xiao Haiqing also came over. The two are giants in Tiannan’s business world, and since their daughters are with Song Xiaodong, the relationship between them is now quite close.
Although Song Xiaodong is their son-in-law, when chatting with the two of them, it’s more of a friendship since Song Xiaodong’s status is evident. Even though he’s a son-in-law, Xiao Haiqing and Miao Qingyuan can’t put on airs around Song Xiaodong.
“Who is that?” Qian Shouyang, seeing Xiao Haiqing’s imposing demeanor, leaned toward Su Yao and couldn’t help asking.
“That… is the CEO of Xiao Corporation.” Su Yao now had some misgivings about Qian Shouyang and didn’t respond with much enthusiasm. Indeed, Qian Shouyang is a promising young person, but he is far inferior to Song Xiaodong, and mostly because of the recent tone Qian Shouyang used, which left Su Yao discontented all along.
Qian Shouyang said somewhat sourly: “Xiao Corporation, that’s a top-notch company in Tiannan, huh. Huh, Song Xiaodong can directly speak with the CEO.”
Su Yao shrugged and didn’t say much more.
Song Xiaodong didn’t want to show off, but now with his two fathers-in-law coming over to talk and significant figures from the Ding family also attending to Xiao Haiqing and Miao Qingyuan, a crowd gathered around.
Qian Shouyang, being an executive in the company, also came over.
“Let me introduce everyone; this is our company’s deputy general manager, Qian Shouyang, a PhD in economics, an overseas returnee, very capable.” Ding Shanyue introduced Qian Shouyang to everyone.
Qian Shouyang immediately gave a humble smile and said: “I hope you, esteemed executives, will look out for me in the future.”
After chatting for a bit, Qian Shouyang didn’t mention his classmate relationship with Song Xiaodong, which improved Song Xiaodong’s impression of him. At least, this Qian Shouyang did not attempt to secure his position through Song Xiaodong.
Because Xiao Haiqing and Miao Qingyuan were talking with Song Xiaodong, even if Song Xiaodong didn’t want to reveal his identity, more and more people were beginning to notice him.
Ding Shanyue once again brought up the ribbon-cutting ceremony to Song Xiaodong, and Song Xiaodong hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Moreover, not only CEOs from Tiannan City were here, but also city leaders, and as the ribbon-cutting ceremony was about to start, all the important figures gathered in front of the stage.
Qian Shouyang was also on stage, seeing Song Xiaodong come up, talking and laughing with those executives, feeling a bit uncomfortable. He couldn’t understand; wasn’t Song Xiaodong just Miao Qingyuan’s son-in-law? That makes him a junior, so why does he seem nothing like a junior?
“Everyone! This time, the Dongyue Group was co-financed by Minghe Tianyun Group and our Ding Group, going through…” As the host, Ding Shanyue first introduced the company’s founding process, without mentioning the Su and Ding families, but rather in the name of two business entities, since talking about families isn’t something ordinary people would understand. Then he loudly announced the company’s founding.
“Now, please welcome the Mayor…” After inviting two important city leaders to speak, Ding Shanyue continued: “Now, please welcome the chairman of Dongyue Group, Mr. Song Xiaodong…”
Hearing this name, Qian Shouyang was a bit dazed, and then seeing Song Xiaodong walk forward, his brain suddenly went blank.
“What’s going on? How did Song Xiaodong become the chairman of Dongyue Group?”
At this moment, Song Xiaodong smiled slightly, saying: “Hello, everyone. I’m delighted that Dongyue Group can develop in my hometown. This is also due to great support from government departments…”
After saying a few official words, Song Xiaodong smiled and said: “Actually, I’m just a nominal chairman. I won’t be involved in the management of Dongyue Group. It’s mainly managed by our Vice Chairman Su, Su Qingmiao. Now, please welcome Vice Chairman Su to say a few words.”
Su Qingmiao quickly came up, first respectfully saluting Song Xiaodong, and then took the microphone to start speaking. This young man, now also quite well trained, spoke with a good demeanor and style.
Qian Shouyang watched all this, his shock beyond words. Looking at Su Yao next to him, he stammered quietly: “Who exactly is Song Xiaodong?”
Su Yao smiled slightly and said: “I can’t quite say who he is, but he’s my idol anyway.”
Qian Shouyang’s mouth twitched, and now he finally understood. Song Xiaodong wasn’t someone who relied on others. No wonder Miao Qingyuan spoke with him in such an equal manner, without any father-in-law authority.
No wonder Ding Shanyue and those major shareholders of the company spoke so politely to Song Xiaodong.
And that impressive Su Qingmiao was so respectful to Song Xiaodong, further illustrating that Song Xiaodong’s strength was now beyond his imagination.
Reflecting on how he thought Song Xiaodong was living off someone else, and how he acted superior before Song Xiaodong, Qian Shouyang felt his face flush with embarrassment.
“Su Yao… I… Will Song Xiaodong be upset because of my earlier attitude…” Qian Shouyang suddenly thought of this issue, sweat faintly appearing on his forehead.
Su Yao chuckled softly and said: “You’ve misunderstood Xiaodong’s character. Someone with his status wouldn’t be so petty. Furthermore, you’re all classmates, so Xiaodong won’t hold it against you. However, don’t mess around in the company just because of your classmate relationship with Xiaodong, as Xiaodong really doesn’t like that.”
“Got it!” Qian Shouyang agreed, unable to muster up any jealousy toward Song Xiaodong, as the gap between them was simply too vast for him to harbor any envy.
