Chapter 843 The Mastermind

Hearing Beyonce’s words, Song Yunxuan turned to look at Mei Qi.

Mei Qi met Song Yunxuan’s gaze and pondered for a moment. Then he asked Beyonce, “So, what brings you here?”

Beyonce smiled, replying, “Though our boss is aboard and won’t return any time soon. But when he heard that you favored the land, he asked me to meet you.”

“In that case, you should have met me in the Song Family. Why did you come here?”

Song Yunxuan smelt a rat.

Beyonce turned around and whispered something to her assistant.

Then the assistant immediately brought over a contract, handing it to Song Yunxuan with both hands and saying, “Take a look at this, Miss Song.”

Song Yunxuan took a glance at the handwriting on the cover of the contract and then took it over.

Mei Qi and Song Yunxuan had always been on good terms.

Thus while Song Yunxuan was reading the contract, Mei Qi also took a look at it.

It surprised him a lot.

He found this was actually a prepared transfer contract of the land-use right.

“Manager Song, things begin to get intriguing.”

Song Yunxuan also understood what the contract was. She replied with a smile, “There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Your boss drew up this contract so early. I wonder what he wants to take from me with this contract.”

“Our boss said that if you come to the land in person, he will let me give the contract to you and then present the land to your baby as a gift.”

Song Yunxuan felt it was interesting.

So did Mei Qi. He asked, “Who on earth is your boss?”

“I think even if we ask, the young lady may not tell us the identity of her boss without his or her permission.”

With this, she closed the contract, preparing to return it to Beyonce unopened.

Seeing that, Beyonce did a double-take and then said, “Won’t you sign your name, Miss Song? As long as you sign your name, the land is yours.”

“I won’t accept an award for no reason. Though I like this place, I can’t take this land without thanking your boss in person first. I know clearly that the land is quite valuable.”

Song Yunxuan’s words surprised Beyonce to some extent.

However, Song Yunxuan smiled and withdrew her hand gracefully after handing it to Beyonce.

Then she returned whence she had come with Mei Qi.

Beyonce felt that it was a difficult matter to handle.

After Song Yunxuan and Mei Qi were out of sight, Beyonce took out her phone and called her boss.

Meanwhile, Song Yunxuan did not take a look back on the way. She just enjoyed the surrounding scenery and vegetation leisurely.

“This place is to your liking. Why didn’t you take it?”

Mei Qi did not quite understand.

Song Yunxuan smiled, answering, “Did you hear what Beyonce said?”

“Did what she said make you refuse to take the land?”

“She said that the land is for my baby.”

“For Little Master?”

Mei Qi asked her.

Song Yunxuan nodded. Then she raised her hand and gently stroked her stomach, saying with a smile, “I don’t think the child in my stomach has anything to do with anyone except Chu Mochen. And I highly doubt that his birth will arouse a stranger’s interest.”

“You mean you know this person?”

“I’m not sure. Nevertheless, I should never take such gifts without getting a clear understanding of the situation. Otherwise, I may be in trouble.”

After finishing her words, Song Yunxuan felt that the wind tired her. She wrapped her clothes, saying to Mei Qi, “Let’s go back now.”

She had achieved what she wanted, so there was no need for her to continue pretending to enjoy the scenery.

Mei Qi drove Song Yunxuan back.

In the meantime, Beyonce was on the phone with her boss in the car.

“Song Yunxuan refused to take the land-use right.”

“What? When did she become this courteous?”

The man on the other side of the line felt amused and surprised.

“Miss Song said that she would not accept an award for no reason. I’ve told her it will be her child’s birth gift. But she refused to take anything from a stranger.”

The man on the other side of the line pondered for a moment and then replied, “I see. Go on with your business.”

“OK.” After that, Beyonce said to the boss as if she had suddenly thought of something, “Boss, when will you return?”

“Soon. During this time, help me pay attention to the movements of the Song Family and the Shao Family. Besides, you should also keep an eye on Lu Feng and Song Yunqiang who are in the prison.”

“Got it.”

After the man finished his words, he hung up the phone.

After Song Yunxuan returned, she kept up with the movements of the Shao enterprise while nourishing the fetus at ease.

She handled the matters of the Song enterprise with high proficiency. Even when she let Mei Qi handle something, she did not worry that Mei Qi would have any wicked ideas.

After all, Mei Qi knew her identity and once risked his life protecting her and giving her an amulet.

He stayed with her and helped her without asking for anything in return.

The man was different from those who hankered for fame and money.

He had the ability to strive for what kind of life he wanted.

The reason why he decided to stay with her now was that he wanted to see how long the farce would last and when it would end.

Song Yunxuan had nothing to do, so she drank water and basked in the sun at home every day.

She went for a blow, arranged flowers, read books, and made some children’s knitwear.

Nothing unusual went on until half a month later.

Shao Tianze began to frequently participate in the management online conferences of the Shao enterprise.

Song Yunxuan contacted the senior manager who once wanted to betray the Shao enterprise.

As long as he was given enough money, he was willing to say anything.

He told Song Yunxuan everything he knew.

Besides, Song Yunxuan did not quickly accept his overtures when he paid her a visit and he was not able to get a new job after resignation.

So after he failed in making overtures to Song Yunxuan, he continued staying in the Shao enterprise.

Moreover, now he knew everything about the Shao enterprise.

“President Shao has already transferred part of the rights of the Shao enterprise to Miss Gu.”

“You mean Gu Changle?”

Looking at the senior manager of the Shao enterprise sitting opposite her, Song Yunxuan took a sip of water, looked up, and asked him.

The person nodded nervously, “Yes.”

“He hasn’t transferred all the rights of administration and management to Gu Changle, right?”

“Yep.” Seeing that Song Yunxuan appeared ruddy-cheeked, the senior manager said while thinking about those rumors about Song Yunxuan’s serious illness, “Although President Shao handed over part of his rights to Gu Changle, actually the Shao enterprise is under their joint administration and management because Shao Tianze seems to still be mistrustful of Gu Changle. Thus the Shao enterprise is not Gu Changle’s own property yet.”

Song Yunxuan thought nothing of it, replying, “As long as he begins to give her rights, Gu Changle will eventually have full control of the Shao enterprise. Nothing would satisfy her greed.”

Actually, there had always been a hurdle in Gu Changle’s heart.

Although Gu Changle had lived in the Gu Family as Gu Cheng’s adopted daughter for so many years and had rarely taken a part in the infightings, Gu Changge never expected that she would know very well about what was in Gu Changle’s mind after becoming Song Yunxuan.

It was not that Gu Changle did not want to seize the power of the Gu’s Group during the time when Gu Changge was alive. The truth was that Gu Changle wasn’t capable enough to make it.

Now that Gu Changge died and Shao Tianze lost both of his legs, Shao Tianze would gradually lose the powers of the Shao enterprise.

Then all the powers would gradually fall into Gu Changle’s hands.

“Does Gu Changle often go to the Shao enterprise?”

Song Yunxuan asked the senior manager sitting in front of her.

“She didn’t often go there earlier on. But as President Shao seems to be on the mend now, she often goes to the Shao enterprise to attend various meetings.”

“How competent do you think she is?”

“Not a match for President Shao, of course.” The senior manager seemed to be mocking Gu Changle.

“So who do you think is more competent, Gu Changle or Gu Changge?”

The senior manager answered without a second thought, “Gu Changle is not cut out for business management at all and has never been in the business world. She is not even a match for President Shao, so how could she rival President Gu?”

“President Gu?”

The title amused Song Yunxuan.

The senior manager also felt that he shouldn’t have said that, so he raised his hand and covered his mouth.

But Song Yunxuan didn’t take his mistake seriously.

She just took a sip of water and smiled. Then she talked about something else with the senior manager and let someone see him out.

After that, Song Yunxuan chuckled.

Though Gu Changge had died, Shao Tianze had taken her place and got everything that once belonged to Gu Changge.

It was good for nothing.

Every single person felt that Shao Tianze would eternally live in Gu Changge’s shadow.

Even though he was a man, he could never rival Gu Changge.

Song Yunxuan sat on the sofa, raised her hand, and gently massaged her eyebrows.

She felt Shao Tianze was somewhat stupid.

He spent his whole life striving for promotion in every possible way.

In order to cover up the fact that he was born in an ordinary family, he would even kill his adoptive parents.

But later, in order to get rid of his wife who was in his way, he actually offended her, a person that would never die for good.

Even though she died, she crawled back from the hell and planned to avenge him.

And now she even cornered him.

She wanted to see Shao Tianze struggling.

She wanted to see how Shao Tianze could turn the tide in such desperation.

She wanted to see how he could return to operate the Shao enterprise or protect Gu Changle.

There wasn’t much Song Yunxuan needed to do.

It was because she had to wait for Shao Tianze to make his move first. As long as Shao Tianze made no move, she didn’t have to respond to anything.

It was like a cat playing with a dying mouse.

How could a cat be willing to let the prey that was caught after so much hard work die without playing with it for a few rounds?
