Chapter 82 Step by Step
Chapter 82 Step by Step
When the topic of the new company came up, the two seemed to have the same idea. Could it be that Jiang Ming really wanted to start his own business?
The two stared at each other, and Xu Tao looked intently at Song Qiao: "As far as I know, there is a construction project underway in the eastern part of the city. It's also an urban construction project. I wonder if it belongs to Jiang Ming?"
Song Qiao immediately became alert. She looked at Xu Tao and asked, "Uncle Xu, could you help me find out who owns this project?"
Song Qiao had never thought about it in this way. In his previous life, his goal was to take over the company. Could it be that he has changed his strategy now?
“Okay! I’ll check for you, Qiaoqiao. The reason I suspect that company belongs to Jiang Ming is because the building materials he uses are all from Liu Cunjin. We at Zhongyue Building Materials also asked about it, and the people in the supply department said that the boss instructed that Xu Tao’s building materials are not allowed to be used.”
Considering that Jiang Ming had always had a bad impression of Xu Tao, Song Qiao believed it.
"Uncle Xu, if we find out it belongs to Jiang Ming, we can find out where the money went?"
The audit results showed that the urban construction company had almost no working capital, and it also had 200 million yuan in bank loans and 100 million yuan in outstanding payments to suppliers. This deficit was enough to force the company to be auctioned off by the court.
"Qiaoqiao, don't worry, Uncle will help you."
After saying this, Xu Tao stood up and said, "I should go now! I'll come see your father another day."
"Uncle Xu, let me see you off!"
As Song Qiao followed Xu Tao to the office door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Qiao Qiao, I forgot to tell you something. Your brother Xu Chao has transferred to civilian work and returned to Jiangcheng."
Song Qiao's eyes lit up with surprise when she heard that Xu Chao had returned from military service: "Really? Which department did Brother Xu Chao go to?"
Xu Chao is a promising politician; she had seen it before, and he has a strong sense of justice.
"Quality Management Bureau!"
Upon hearing about the company, Song Qiao was even happier: "I'll arrange a time another day to welcome my brother back."
“Your sister-in-law and her child have also moved to Jiangcheng. After your aunt and I retire, we will be able to enjoy our grandchildren.”
Congratulations, Uncle Xu!
Song Qiao was genuinely happy for Xu Tao; he was proud to have such an outstanding son.
Xu Chao got married; his wife is a teacher, and they have a three-year-old son. This is something that Xu Tao and his wife are very proud of.
Upon hearing Song Qiao mention arranging a dinner, Xu Tao quickly said, "I'll arrange it then. How about this, when your father is feeling better, we'll invite your mother along too?"
"it is good!"
Just like when she arrived, Song Qiao escorted Xu Tao downstairs. Watching the driver open the car door for him and get him inside, she called out "Uncle Song," tears welling up in her eyes.
Looking at Xu Tao, Song Qiao thought of her own father, who was only a little over fifty years old and whose life hung in the balance in the hospital. It was all because she, as his daughter, was incompetent. Not only had she failed to be filial to him, but she had also brought him such a disaster.
Watching Xu Tao leave, Song Qiao quickly took out her phone to check the surveillance footage and saw that Zhao Xiaoya had already returned to the office and entered the elevator.
After Song Qiao went inside, she saw Zhao Xiaoya looking around for the location of the surveillance camera after she entered. At this moment, Zhao Xiaoya walked in from the back.
Zhao Xiaoya was startled: "Chairman Song, let me check the cleanliness of your office."
Jin Song Qiao sat at the table, pretending not to notice, and said, "School will be over soon. I don't have time to pick up Ranran today. Could you pick her up for me and take her straight home?"
She was giving her a chance to reunite with Jiang Ming and Jiang Xiaoran's family.
When Zhao Xiaoya heard Song Qiao ask her to pick up Jiang Xiaoran, she was taken aback for a moment, but immediately agreed: "President Song, I'll go right away."
As she walked out of the chairman's office, Zhao Xiaoya even mocked Song Qiao for being ridiculously foolish.
When Zhao Xiaoya drove Jiang Xiaoran home, Jiang Ming also went home.
"Amin, you're back?"
When Zhao Xiaoya saw Jiang Ming unlock the door and enter, she happily stood up from the sofa to greet him.
Why are you here?
"Song Qiao asked me to pick Ranran up and take her home!"
The old lady usually picks the child up from school, but ever since Jiang Xiaoran got into trouble at school, Jiang Ming rarely picks her up anymore because every time he goes, the other parents point and whisper, which annoys him.
"Song Qiao asked you to pick Ranran up and take her home?"
Then Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Song Qiao planned everything, but she never expected that Ranran wasn't her biological daughter."
Zhao Xiaoya smiled happily, as if all the humility she had shown Song Qiao these past few days had been worth it.
“Ah Ming! I knew it! Song Qiao married you purely out of curiosity and selfishness. So many people liked you back then, but she only wanted to possess you. She never truly loved you. Her parents didn't accept you either. Did they think you weren't good enough for their daughter?”
Zhao Xiaoya's words spurred Jiang Ming on, and he retorted defiantly:
"So what if I'm not good enough for them? So what if I am? I spent six years marrying their daughter and turning her into a tool for having children. Even so, I won't like the children she has."
Song Qiao looked at the surveillance footage on her phone. The scene on the screen was crystal clear, but she couldn't hear what they were saying.
As Song Qiao watched the family of three sitting at the dining table eating, her hand gripping her phone so tightly that it turned white.
"No, I must find a way to go back and turn on the audio from the surveillance camera."
After seeing Zhao Xiaoya and Jiang Ming go into the bedroom after finishing their meal, Song Qiao cursed them as "dogs and dogs" and then turned on the bedroom's security camera.
The two were making love on the bed. Zhao Xiaoya's legs were wrapped around Jiang Ming's waist like a water snake. Song Qiao felt nauseous and quickly turned off the monitor.
Then, she picked up her coat and left the office.
Just then, I ran into Liu Dong, the office director, at the door: "Make arrangements, the meeting will be held at 3 PM this afternoon in the company's conference room for middle and senior management!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Dong quickly replied, "I understand, Chairman Song!"
On her way to the hospital, Song Qiao called Wang Lianhe, Wang Baoguo, and Feng Hongjun to inform them of the personnel changes and to tell them to be prepared.
Wang Lianhe was initially suspicious of Song Qiao. She was a woman who hadn't worked for years, and Jiang Ming was so domineering and wicked. He worried that she wouldn't be a match for him. He never expected that Song Qiao would go head-to-head with him.
"Chairman Song, don't worry. The three of us were among the first to follow the old chairman through the tough times, and we will all do our best to help you."
"Uncle Wang, then I thank you on behalf of my father. If my father hadn't made me come back to the company, I would never have known that Jiang Ming was a wolf in sheep's clothing. Now that I'm back, I won't let him succeed."
After finishing her call with Wang Lianhe, Song Qiao had just picked up her phone when Zhang Qian's mother, Hu Jinling, called her. This was the first call she had received since having dinner with the children's parents last time.
"Hello, Sister Jinling, I'm Song Qiao!"
"Song Qiao, I have something to tell you. I saw your husband in my sister's courtyard at the Moon Palace. He was with that woman I mentioned last time, and they went into a villa."
When did this happen?
"just!"
Upon hearing this, Song Qiao thanked Hu Jinling and suggested they get together for a meal another day before ending the call.
Then Song Qiao called Zhao Xiaoya.
The phone rang for a while, and the person on the other end, panting heavily, said, "Hello! Chairman Song."
When Song Qiao heard Zhao Xiaoya reluctantly call her "Chairman Song," she said, "I have a coat in my office. Take it to the dry cleaners right away and have it washed. I need to wear it this afternoon!"
