Duan Chi was sitting in the waiting room and looking around. It had taken him over a month to figure out the details of Ruan Xiaâs situation. Although he had already known she had a husband and child from their first meeting, he hadnât expected that her husband was Song Tingshen.
Even though he didnât care about the business world and didnât know much about it, he knew about Song Tingshen. Song Tingshen could be considered a legend in the industry. Without any background supporters, he had achieved his current results from scratch. Even if one were to survey this entire circle of business people, one wouldnât be able to find another person like Song Tingshen. Most importantly, he was still young. This meant that Song Corporation hadnât reached its peak yet. Even though Song Tingshen was a very capable person that had a lot of finesse, Duan Chi was sure that he wouldnât lose to him.
He had originally wanted to look for Ruan Xia directly, but he thought that would be too ungentlemanly. A real man wouldnât do that. A real man would directly pay Song Tingshen a visit.
He couldnât force Ruan Xia to face all sorts of problems on her own.
As a man, he should protect the woman that he liked.
Just as Duan Chi was inwardly encouraging himself, Song Tingshen entered the room and closed the door in the passing.
Song Tingshen hadnât expected this general manager to be so young. This general manager didnât have a mature air and seemed more like a recent college graduate. Song Tingshen walked up Duan Chi and stretched his hand out for a handshake. âHello General Manager Duan, Iâm Song Tingshen.â
No matter how young the person in front of him looked, Song Tingshen wouldnât underestimate him. To become a general manager, this person must have an outstanding point such as a strong family background or high skill level. Regardless of which one it was, he shouldnât underestimate him. Moreover, he had started his career at a similar age, so he naturally wouldnât fail to respect young people.
Duan Chi stretched his hand out. âCEO Song, hello, Iâm Duan Chi.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The two of them didnât have any connections with each other. There were no conflicts or personal grudges between them either. Duan Chi thought that interactions between men were different than ones between women; men would just frankly lay their cards on the table.
Song Tingshen sat down across from Duan Chi and cautiously asked, âGeneral Manager Duan, why did you come see me today?â
He had tried to puzzle it out, but he really couldnât think of any possible areas of collaboration between Song Corporation and Duan Corporation.
Duan Chi wasnât the type of person that liked to speak in a roundabout way or how businessmen talked to each other. Besides, he wasnât here to talk to Song Tingshen about business. He was here to discuss personal matters with him, and it would be inappropriate to behave mincingly when having a man-to-man talk. Thinking of this, Duan Chi got straight to the point and said, âCEO Song, is Ruan Xia your wife? What would it take for you to divorce her?â
For the first time in his 35 years, Song Tingshen felt as if his brain had crashed.
For a while, he didnât recover from this shock. He was stunned by this young manâs question.
Seeing that Song Tingshen wasnât speaking, Duan Chi grew confident. âI know youâve been married for four years and have a son together too, but I also know thereâs no feelings between the two of you. I donât know if there was once something between the two of you, but I know thereâs nothing now. CEO Song, since the two of you arenât in love, why force yourselves to stay together? You donât have to worry. Iâm not one of those petty people. I wouldnât stop my wife from interacting with her ex-husband. And, if you donât want custody of your son, Iâll accept him. Iâll treat him like heâs my own son.â
