The Crazy Son-In-Law

At this time, Sikong Jie walked to Sikong Xinrong’s side and whispered a few words, and Sikong Xinrong nodded to show his approval. Finally, Sikong Jie hurriedly left the manor.

That night, Little Persia was brilliantly lit up, with luxury cars gathering in front of the door. However, not many guests entered or left.

On the first-floor lobby, all the core members of those significant families in this city were there.

This was where the Stillwater Business Federation was located, and the Business Federation was where those families settle business disputes and exchange information.

The person at the head of the table was Song Lianghai, who was then the president of the federation. Although there was a Song Zhenhai above him in the family, in fact, he had already been making decisions for all the affairs of the Song family.

Song Lianghai was one of Song Zhenhai’s younger brothers, and Song Linger called him Grandpa Lianghai.

When Song Zhenhai was young there were so many wars that people couldn’t even have a shelter over their heads, not to mention any serious medical care. It was not unusual for newborns to die, and the Song family lost three children in quick succession since Song Zhenhai, and finally after the war ended, they had Song Lianghai.

Today, all the significant figures in Stillwater were present, including Sikong Jie, Zheng Yunhe, the head of the Zheng family, Ouyang Long, the head of the Ouyang family, and Yao Zhenshu, the head of the Yao family, and Sun Guomin, the head of the Sun family.

“So we will just settle your dispute about that piece of land like this, do you agree?”

Song Lianghai sipped a mouthful of tea and slowly asked.

“With President Song with so many old friends as witnesses, we have no objection.”

Despite all his uncomfortable feelings with the solution, Hou Peng, the head of the Hou family, knew he shouldn’t mess with the Song family so he could only reluctantly agree to their proposal for joint development.

“We also have no objection.” Sun Guo followed suit, and he was also harboring resentment in his heart.

There was no absolute wrong and right when it came to interests, but just everyone felt they deserved more.

Song Lianghai had been in the position for eight years, and many times he also found it difficult to ensure fairness.

Especially for small families like the Hou and the Sun families, they were shortsighted enough, and if you took a penny out of their hands, you would be literally killing them.

If not for the Song family, perhaps these people would have had a few heads smashed today.

After this matter was settled, Song Lianghai swept his gaze over the crowd.

“Gentlemen, if you have other things, just say it now, and we will deal with it right here. If you guys cause any more trouble after we leave here, then we’ll deal with them perhaps in a less pleasant way.”

There was then a silence in the hall.

“Okay, since you guys have nothing else to say, then that’s it for today.”

A few seconds later, Song Lianghai said, and as he was about to get up to adjourn the meeting, he heard Zheng Yunhe say, “Mr. Song has been the president for several years, right?”

Song Lianghai was stunned for a moment. He frowned slightly and sat down again to look at him, “Mr. Zheng, what do you mean? If you want to talk about something, just say it.”

“Mr. Song has to take care of such a big family and such a big business. For Mr. Song it must be very difficult. Mr. Sikong and I both feel that maybe we can have someone else for this position.”

Zheng Yunhe said with a calm face.

However, intentionally or not, Zheng Yunhe’s words showed that the Zheng family was already on the same side as the Sikong family, and at the same time, they wanted Song Lianghai to step down.

When they heard his words, the scene was silent for a while.

Song Lianghai also froze briefly and said with a smile, “We have had some rules when the federation was first established. If your family, just anyone of you, can be stronger than my family, my family would naturally be willing to give you the position. Let me ask you all now. Which of you do you think can be stronger than my family now?”

When Song Lianghai was elected as the president of the federation, it was because the Song family was the strongest among them and only such strong power could convince everyone. If they had a second-rate or third-rate family for this position, no one would be convinced, and they would all be a mess.

“That’s well in the past already, and everything has changed. People like democracy now, don’t they? Maybe we should also learn from the young people, and we can have a vote. Gentlemen, what do you think?” Zheng Yunhe looked around at the crowd and said.

“I think it’s a good idea.” Sikong Jie said.

“My family also wants to have this honor to help everyone.”

After hearing what they said, the crowd began to talk.

Of course, they could all see that the Zheng family was now standing with the Sikong family, and they were clearly trying to confront the Song family.

If the Zheng family was all alone, they were naturally slightly inferior to the Song family, but if the two of them were united they were naturally much stronger than the Song family.

“Mr. Zheng has a point. It’s not right to let the Song family decide everything.”

“Song Lianghai is sometimes quite unfair when he settles disputes. We really need someone else.”

“…”

Song Lianghai also figured the whole thing out. The Zheng family and the Sikong family were obviously coming for him. In fact, his elder brother Song Zhenhai had reminded him of this some days ago, and he hadn’t taken it to heart at that time. Well, what should come just would come.

But it didn’t matter to him. This position brought almost no benefits to his family, and he even offended many people because of this title. However, he still felt a little irritated.

In fact, if they just wanted this position they could just discuss about it, but people like Zheng Yunhe made him feel like he was deposed somehow.

He smiled and said, “Well, it seems that everyone has some opinions about me being this president. If any of you want the position, you can just have it.”

“Relax, Mr. Song. It’s not a big deal. A president just helps everyone. You’ve worked hard all these years too, and you just will need some time to take a break.”

The Ouyang family had always stayed away from these affairs, and Ouyang Long’s words were quite fair.

“In addition to that, we also hope that the Song family can share the off-stage business in the nearby cities with everyone, so everyone can have some benefits. What do you think, Mr. Song?” Zheng Yunhe said with a stiff smile.

When they heard his words, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.

This was much more than a title, and there were real interests at stake.

Their business under the table in those cities was even more huge than the business on the table. He wanted to cut one of their hands off with just a few words?

As expected, Song Lianghai’s face changed steeply and he slapped the table heavily, “Zheng Yunhe, what do you mean?!”

“Mr. Song, relax. Aren’t you guys just trying to help everyone? What now? I just want to ask you to share something with us.” Zheng Yunhe laughed sorrowfully.

“It doesn’t matter though. If the Song family doesn’t want to give, then we will just take!”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Except for a few small families that had been quite dependent on the Song Family, the others had greed in their eyes at this time. If the Song family was willing to give up that piece of cake, they would naturally also get a piece of it.

Just like this, smoke filled the whole conference room.

And outside the room, it was dark and windy. Across the entire Stillwater and those cities around, there were apparently some undercurrents raging all over and all kinds of power had been on their way.
