So easily summoned and dismissed? This was the first time he'd ever been so angry with Song Qing; he couldn't calm down even in the bathroom. But when he saw the guilt in Song Qing's eyes, and her completely innocent face, he truly understood: he hadn't entered her heart at all. Had he started to lose himself from that moment on?
“Zhengwei…” Song Qing called out to him uneasily.
Yi Zhengwei gave a vague response and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
After leaving Feilong, the two sat down in the restaurant. They were both in good spirits, but Yi Zhengwei still preferred Song Qing's demeanor in the room to the strong woman sitting opposite him who was a mystery to him.
"I'm here today to discuss an important decision with you."
Yi Zhengwei said "Oh" and looked out the window. At that moment, it started to drizzle.
“Actually, I recently started reorganizing Zhenhua because I wanted to start researching new projects, but unfortunately Zhihan isn’t here, so I’m not confident.” Song Qing frowned and sighed.
Yi Zhengwei was taken aback. "The technology of Power One is sufficient to sustain it for quite some time. You're pregnant, there's no need to rush."
Song Qing put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth, and seemed ready to give a proper explanation.
“It’s like this. When Dad and Zhihan were researching Power One, they also completed the initial research on Red Robe. Red Robe’s technology was more advanced than Power One. Actually, Power One was a birthday gift from Dad. He started researching Red Robe so that I could better manage Fuhua in the future.” Song Qing’s eyes dimmed. She lowered her head, twisted her hands, and bit her lower lip, her heart filled with grief. “That’s why his body couldn’t take it, that’s why…”
Yi Zhengwei took her hand from under the table and comforted her.
Song Qing sniffed and then laughed, "Weisheng's production will be up and running soon, and they will soon be entering the market. At that time, it will be inevitable that we will face off against each other."
Yi Zhengwei nodded and said, "But Qing'er, I won't stand idly by. Trust me, I definitely won't let Weisheng get ahead of me."
Song Qing remained noncommittal and continued, "Hongshang's research has long been my father's idea. The Weisheng incident has given Fuhua a powerful opponent in the future, but it is also a good opportunity for Fuhua to rise from where it failed. Therefore, please help me with the new project so that I have time to take charge of this part."
Yi Zhengwei listened intently, but couldn't offer any advice for the time being. However, for him, Song Qing's words proved that her past with Yan Xunan was gone, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
But why does he always feel that he is taking over Song Qing's mature projects, while Song Qing is always far ahead of him? When there are difficulties or setbacks, she always prefers to bear them alone.
When Power One was completed, she suddenly switched gears to develop the fast-moving consumer goods market. Once that was stable, she abandoned it again to research the even more advanced Red Garment. And Yi Zhengwei, is he only capable of enjoying the fruits of others' labor? He truly doesn't know what his place is in her heart.
Does she consider him one of her own? Judging from the current situation, yes. She has entrusted him with both Power One and the new project with confidence, so why can't he feel gratified and satisfied?
He just wanted to be able to do something for her, rather than waiting for her to succeed before he took over.
He stubbed out his cigarette sharply, looking at the torrential rain outside. Just a moment ago it was drizzling, but in an instant the weather had changed.
Song Qingxin tensed up and asked, "Zhengwei, don't you agree?" "That shouldn't be possible," she thought to herself.
Yi Zhengwei turned around and smiled, "No, you have a strong sense of crisis. This matter should indeed be initiated."
Song Qingxin nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, I knew you would agree with me."
Yi Zhengwei finally understood her purpose: "You want me to talk to Dad and get his approval?"
Song Qing nodded nervously. Given how much Yi Mantian cared for her now, he would definitely not allow her to take on any new tasks.
"What if Dad makes me take over?" Yi Zhengwei asked deliberately.
"No! Zhengwei, it was my fault back then. This time I must make amends myself, otherwise I will never have peace of mind."
Yi Zhengwei sighed, took her hand, and said worriedly, "Qing'er, don't tell me you can not go to the research institute. Even if I believed you, Dad wouldn't believe you. The baby is only three months old and not as strong as you. You need to think it through."
Yes, Song Qing had nothing to say. Once Hong Shang started her research, she wouldn't be able to stay at headquarters.
“Zhengwei…” she pleaded.
Yi Zhengwei shook his head firmly, "Qing'er, you can't be so selfish."
Song Qing looked helplessly at his unyielding face, and after struggling for a long time, finally nodded.
Yi Zhengwei breathed a sigh of relief and asked gently, "Have you finished eating?"
"Yes." It seems she'll have to think of another way.
Although Yan Xunan was a thorn in his side, what could be more important than Song Qing and the child now? However, he didn't think he had convinced Song Qing today.
I wonder what kind of lousy idea that her clever mind will come up with tomorrow to get his approval.
"By the way, Zhengwei, could you spare some time this afternoon to come with me to pick up Hongshang?"
In the afternoon? He has a lot of things to do in the afternoon and can't get away at all.
“Okay, when are we going?” Yi Zhengwei agreed.
"Hi! Yi Zhengwei, where have your principles gone?" another voice in his mind was saying.
"Right now, okay?"
Yi Zhengwei had already started walking alongside Song Qing, and he said involuntarily, "Yes, let's go."
Hey, Yi Zhengwei, your big client is waiting for you at the company for a meeting! Do you want to ruin everything?! But the voice couldn't stop him in the end.
Chapter Fifty-Nine Husband
"Leave Hongshang's matter to me. You must no longer have any contact with Yan Xunan. Trust me, I can do it for you!"
- Yi Zhengwei
Song Qing's work is quite simple now, requiring almost no socializing; he mainly focuses on reorganizing the management of various departments at headquarters. Li Shuhua from the technical department has voluntarily gone to work at Fuhua to discuss with Song Qing the focus of Zhenhua's work in the next phase.
After considering the follow-up research on Hongshang for several days, he said to Song Qing, "Hongshang was originally researched by Chairman Song and Engineer Xu. None of the rest of us participated. Based solely on the technical data left behind, I am not confident."
Since he said that, Song Qing had no other choice. Li Shuhua was honest, reliable, and hardworking. Although he worked diligently at Zhenhua, Song Jingmo only ever gave him the position of deputy director. Instead, Xu Zhihan, who came later, was promoted first, which must have been for this reason.
