Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Has Mr. Song from their family gone somewhere to become a master of sweet talk?

“Mr. Song,” Lu Zhaozhao suddenly called out softly.

Song Sinian snapped back to reality and looked at her, tilting his head slightly as if to ask what was wrong.

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes narrowed slightly, “How’s the investigation going with regards to the XJ Group?”

Song Sinian glanced at Lu Zhaozhao and didn’t directly answer her question; instead, he asked, “Regarding the XJ Group, which aspect of the news do you want to know about?”

“Emmm…”

His question plunged Lu Zhaozhao into thought.

She had just heard that Xia Wenjue was very familiar with XJ Group’s president and was a bit nervous about it.

That’s why she had asked Song Sinian to investigate the XJ Group. Now that he suddenly asked her which aspect of the news she wanted to know, Lu Zhaozhao was somewhat bewildered.

Looking at her puzzled little face, Song Sinian sighed helplessly and lifted his hand to pinch her cheek, “If it’s about the finances, you can be completely at ease. The XJ Group’s internal financial situation is good, and there is no possibility of bankruptcy recently.”

“What about their internal situation? Is there a possibility that they might change the president or something?” Lu Zhaozhao asked, as if she had suddenly thought of something.

Song Sinian’s brows lifted slightly in surprise, but her question was also within his contemplation.

Ever since he had met Xia Wenjue, he had been aware of this kind of issue.

“Internally, it’s not particularly united, but the various factions are still stable. The president of XJ Group has absolute control unless…” his dark eyes darkened slightly, “unless the president of XJ Group has an accident, his position could be taken over by someone else. Otherwise, there’s no such possibility.”

Hearing this, Lu Zhaozhao pursed her lips slightly.

In her previous life, XJ Group’s president had a car accident…

Thinking about the internal situation of XJ Group now, there were frequent accidents, probably orchestrated by someone, right?

After a moment of thought, Lu Zhaozhao asked, “Mr. Song, from your investigation, will the Xia Family be affected if something happens to XJ Group’s president?”

“…”

That question was definitely on the mark.

If something happened to XJ Group’s president, it meant something happened to Xia Wenjue, which would be like pulling out a pillar of the Xia Family.

It was no longer merely a matter of being affected.

Song Sinian’s eyelids drooped, then he looked up at Lu Zhaozhao after a moment and spoke slowly, “Don’t worry, I’ll try my best not to let this matter affect the Xia Family.”

He had already warned Xia Wenjue last time; if he couldn’t avoid this kind of issue, then he would have to take matters into his own hands.

Hearing Song Sinian’s words, Lu Zhaozhao instantly felt much more at ease, but… wasn’t her request too much?

Song Sinian had always been responsive to her requests, but she…

Lu Zhaozhao’s brows furrowed slightly, “Mr. Song, this matter isn’t your obligation, you…”

Before she could finish speaking, Song Sinian reached out his hand to cover her mouth, “Since Song Group is going to cooperate with XJ Group, we need to consider many risks. If there really is the kind of problem you mentioned, it’s better to prevent it beforehand. It’s also a good thing for Song Group.”

With just a few words, Song Sinian turned a personal matter into a business one.

Although the internal situation of XJ Group did indeed affect the cooperation with Song Group, it shouldn’t be to the extent that it must be meddled in, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Zhaozhao still felt a bit conflicted.

Suddenly, Song Sinian stretched out his hand and directly embraced Lu Zhaozhao in his arms, gently patting her as he spoke, “I’ve said before that I want to spoil you like a daughter, so your matters are my matters. You don’t need to be so concerned; just being happy every day is enough.”

Lu Zhaozhao laughed when she heard his earnest words.

Has their Mr. Song gone somewhere to max out his sweet talk?

She looked up at him, “Spoil me like a daughter? What’s the standard for that?”

Song Sinian’s eyebrow lifted slightly, “Just… fatherly love as strong as a mountain?”

“Pfft–”

Thankfully Song Sinian didn’t surf much, otherwise his fatherly love would be like a landslide…

Lu Zhaozhao’s laughter brought tears to her eyes.

Looking at Song Sinian’s clueless face, Lu Zhaozhao laughed even more uncontrollably in his arms.

How could their Mr. Song be so adorable?

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

Suddenly, a ringtone rang out in the bedroom.

Lu Zhaozhao fumbled in her arms and took out her phone; it was Old Master Song calling?

What could he be calling her for at this hour?

Lu Zhaozhao thought this while answering the phone.

“Hello? Grandpa?”

Lu Zhaozhao’s soft voice came through, and immediately after, Old Master Song’s voice came through, “Hey hey hey! Zhaozhao, do you have time right now?”

Lu Zhaozhao glanced at Song Sinian, who had remained silent, and responded indifferently, “Grandpa, just tell me what you need.”

Ever since she had seen Old Master Song at the welcome banquet last time, she hadn’t seen much of him.

So, Lu Zhaozhao was a bit puzzled about the purpose of Old Master Song’s call.

Old Master Song coughed lightly, “Zhaozhao, if you have time tomorrow, come to the old house and join this old man for a meal, how about that?”

“…”

Lu Zhaozhao was thrown for a loop.

She silently looked at Song Sinian. Last time, because she had agreed to Old Master Song ahead of time, she had ended up having to compensate Song Sinian.

Lu Zhaozhao’s gaze turned to Song Sinian as if silently seeking his opinion.

“Zhaozhao, grandpa is just asking. I don’t mean to trouble you, I just want to have a meal…”

“…”

As Lu Zhaozhao listened to Old Master Song’s triple hit, she couldn’t help but waver in her heart.

Again, her gaze turned to Song Sinian, and she took a deep breath, bracing herself as she spoke, “Then, I’ll ask Mr. Song if he’s available.”

No sooner had Lu Zhaozhao uttered these words than she heard Song Sinian’s dissatisfied retort, “Not available.”

“…”

The corner of Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth twitched, “Grandpa, hold on, the signal was bad just now.”

Saying this, she reached out her hand and pulled Sinian’s neck down, planting a kiss on his face, “Are you available? Mr. Song?”

“…”

Song Sinian didn’t respond, but neither did he directly refuse as he had before.

Lu Zhaozhao knew there was still room for negotiation.

She puckered her lips again, posing as if she was initiating a kiss.

Song Sinian’s eyes softened, and he leaned down to meet her lips.

But quickly, they parted again.

Lu Zhaozhao asked once more, “Are you available? Mr. Song?”

Song Sinian blinked his dark eyes, and finally replied faintly, “Yes.”

Seeing this, Lu Zhaozhao immediately replied cheerfully while holding her phone, “Grandpa, we will come over for dinner tomorrow night. Mr. Song says he’s available.”

“Great, great, I…”

“Beep beep beep…”

Before Old Master Song could finish his words on the other end, Lu Zhaozhao’s phone call was hung up.

Lu Zhaozhao looked at Song Sinian approaching her and swallowed instinctively…
