Chapter 1067 Old Classmate
Song Yangming had considered this a long time ago, but his previous position in the company was basically just a figurehead, and many people did not know that he was Song Yuanchao's son.
In addition, the incident at Si Te happened suddenly, and Song Yangming went from Shanghai to the Si Te headquarters in Nanjing and served as the assistant to the general manager. This meant that Song Chaoyuan officially pushed Song Yangming to the forefront.
Song Yangming does not have a deep foundation in the entire Shenghua. As the successor of Song Yuanchao, he still has many shortcomings. The biggest shortcoming is that he lacks his own team.
But this problem cannot be solved in a short time. Song Yangming himself knows this clearly. Qin Wenhui's reminder today also made him realize this. Running a business is not a one-person job. No matter how capable a person is, he still needs help from others.
Just like Song Chaoyuan did back then, he recognized and promoted Zhan Linhong, She Liang, Yue Shan, Tao Tao and others at the Nandu Main Factory, and later brought three of them directly to the first branch factory at that time as his initial team.
Then, the arrival of Sun Yaoliang gave Song Yuanchao even more strength. Relying on these people, he built the foundation of a new branch, which made it possible for SITE to be established later.
After Si Te was established, the same was true for Ying Annie, Ruth, and Lao Tang, Zheng Guoyuan and others who joined later. With the help of these people, Song Yuanchao was able to make Si Te stronger and bigger step by step, thus reaching its current scale.
As the saying goes, "It takes three to make a hero." Without these people, Song Yuanchao would not be able to accomplish anything even if he had three heads and six arms. Now Song Yangming is about to embark on the road of succession. Although Song Yuanchao can support him for a few years in the future, he will ultimately have to rely on himself.
The team left by his father will gradually retire, and Song Yangming will build his own team next. This is also the purpose of Qin Wenhui's reminder. Without these, Song Yangming will not be able to control Si Te in the future, let alone Sheng Hua.
The first person Song Yangming thought of was a suitable candidate, and that candidate was his cousin Lin Feng.
Although Lin Feng doesn't seem to be very reliable on the surface, he is actually a very good person and has good abilities.
Lin Feng is now the vice president of Qin Wenhui Company, mainly responsible for the company's northern business, including the Yanjing branch.
Lin Feng has done very well in the past few years. With his help, Qin Wenhui's company has developed very well. Moreover, he and Song Yangming grew up together and are cousins. They have a very close relationship and are quite reliable.
However, Song Yangming did not plan to recruit Lin Feng for the time being due to Qin Wenhui's company. After all, Qin Wenhui had just become pregnant, and it would be impossible for Qin Wenhui to focus on the operation of the company for at least the next year. During this period of time, Lin Feng became the actual manager of the company, and his position was very important. Once Lin Feng was poached, what would happen to Qin Wenhui's company?
As a second choice, Song Yangming could only choose someone else. Since Song Yuanchao decided to let Song Yangming go to Si Te, Song Yangming began to consider these things. He has contacted several people and discussed and communicated with them, but the final choice has not been determined. Song Yangming plans to go to Si Te first and then slowly arrange this matter.
The couple was chatting when the cell phone that was thrown aside suddenly rang.
Song Yangming told Qin Wenhui that he would answer the phone, and Qin Wenhui nodded. Song Yangming stood up and walked to the side to pick up his phone, and found that the caller on it was Song Zijun.
"Hello!" Song Yangming said after answering the phone.
"Brother-in-law, where is my sister? Is she with you? If she is, please do not let my sister know that I called you." As soon as the call was connected, the voice that came from the other end was not Song Zijun's, but Qin Wenchang's. Moreover, he spoke very quickly and deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke to Song Yangming.
Song Yangming was stunned, but he didn't react. He said "wait a minute" to the person on the other end of the phone, then turned around and said to Qin Wenhui, "It's Zijun's call. It's so mysterious and I don't know what it's about. I'll go downstairs and answer it?"
"Go ahead." Qin Wenhui didn't care, and she didn't even go out of her way to look at Song Yangming as he turned the phone around to show the caller ID on the screen.
Isn't it normal for a sister-in-law to call her brother? And Song Zijun is a weird girl, Qin Wenhui knows it very well. Now she calls Song Yangming and asks him to do something. This kind of situation has happened before, so Qin Wenhui didn't think much about it.
Song Yangming took the phone and went out, walked along the corridor on the second floor to the other side, and put the phone back to his ear when he reached the window.
"I'm out of the room. Why did you call me with Zijun's phone? What happened?" Song Yangming asked directly.
"Well..." Qin Wenchang on the phone hesitated and said, "Brother-in-law, something did happen. Can you come to the police station?"
"Police station?" Song Yangming was stunned and his expression instantly became serious.
After Qin Wenchang on the other end of the phone explained a few words, Song Yangming finally understood what was going on. After a long time, Song Zijun had a fight with someone in the bar and smashed the other person's head with a wine bottle.
Now the person has been taken to the police station, and Qin Wenchang is also there. The police station must send police to deal with matters like fighting, and the person's head was smashed, which is no small matter.
Song Zijun was detained temporarily because he was the first to attack. Qin Wenchang was better, but not much better. From his tone, it seemed that he also participated in the fight. This matter could not be told to the family. Once Song Yuanchao knew about it, Song Zijun would be in trouble. Even Qin Wenhui could not be told. Qin Wenchang thought about it and could only ask his brother-in-law Song Yangming for help. Now only Song Yangming could save them.
After listening to Qin Wenchang's explanation, Song Yangming was immediately furious. This girl always caused troubles every other day, and now she was getting bolder and bolder and even started a fight? If she continued like this, what would happen?
But no matter how angry he was, he still had to rescue the person. Not to mention that Song Zijun was his biological sister, there was also Qin Wenchang, who was his biological brother-in-law. Besides, Qin Wenchang was an honest child, how could Song Yangming not know that? If he didn't go to the police station to handle the matter impartially, he would be in big trouble later.
When asked which police station he was in, Song Yangming said he would be there soon and then hung up the phone.
Quickly returning to the room, Song Yangming made up an excuse that Song Zijun wanted to see him and had to go to the big house for something, and asked Qin Wenhui to go to bed early.
Qin Wenhui didn't ask anything, just said she knew, and told Song Yangming to drive safely at night. Song Yangming nodded, changed his clothes, and hurried out the door, driving towards the police station.
Ten minutes later, Song Yangming arrived at the place, parked the car in the yard of the police station, got out of the car and walked towards the police station service hall, preparing to find someone to inquire about the situation.
"Song Yangming?" Just as they arrived at the service hall, a policeman with one bar and two stars on his badge came out, and the two of them met face to face. Song Chaoyuan was about to ask the other party, but before he could ask, the other party called out his name.
"You are...?" Song Yangming was stunned and looked at the other person, not recognizing who he was for a moment.
"It's me! Gong Shiqi! How come we're old classmates? You don't even recognize me?" the other person asked back with a smile.
"Are you Gong Shiqi?" Song Yangming looked at the other person. Gong Shiqi quickly took off his police hat, smoothed his hair and moved his face towards the light. Only then did Song Yangming recognize his old classmate.
"Hi! It's really you? How come you're a policeman? Yes! I almost forgot that you took the entrance exam to the Shanghai Police Academy after graduating from high school. So many years have passed, and I didn't expect to run into you here?"
"Yes, yes, it's been six or seven years since we last met? I remember you went abroad later. When did you come back?" Gong Shiqi was very happy to see his old classmate. They were classmates in junior high school and high school, and they were in the same class back then. They have always had a good relationship.
"I've been back for two years, but I was working in Pengcheng before. I returned to Shanghai the year before last."
"You kid, you didn't even think of contacting us after you came back? We thought you went straight to settle abroad?"
"No, I went abroad to study and came back after graduation. Actually, I wanted to contact everyone after I came back, but you know we weren't like now. Nowadays, there are mobile phones and the Internet. We didn't have these things when we were studying. Even the phone numbers we left were mostly public phones. In addition, Shanghai has changed so much in the past two years. Many old urban areas have been demolished. It's really not easy to find people."
Gong Shiqi nodded to show his understanding. When everyone graduated from high school, they left their contact addresses, but after so many years, most people either moved away or went abroad, and there were few people who could really contact them. Not to mention that Song Yangming went abroad to study early. He went to the UK right after graduating from high school. At first, they could still contact him, but later they gradually lost contact.
"What a coincidence today. I didn't expect to see you here." Gong Shiqi said happily.
"Yes, you are working in the police station now? But I remember that you are not assigned to the police station after graduating from the Police Academy, right?" Song Yangming asked.
"You're right. I joined the criminal police team after graduation. Today I came to the police station to do some business."
"No wonder." Song Yangming nodded with a smile.
"Come on, come on. I've finished my work here. I've been busy all day and haven't had dinner yet. We old classmates finally meet each other, so we must have a drink today. There's a nice restaurant up front. I'll treat you!" Without saying a word, Gong Shiqi hooked his arm around Song Yangming's shoulder and suggested. He was very happy to meet his old classmate today. Compared with the friends he made after entering the working world, the friendship of middle school classmates was the purest and the most missed, because at that time, everyone's interactions were not mixed with any interests at all, and were completely based on feelings.
"Old classmate, let's wait for the drinking." Song Yangming smiled bitterly and said, "I came to the police station to do some work, so you have to let me finish it first."
"Look at me, I was so happy that I forgot about this. By the way, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Tell me if you have anything. The director here is my buddy, I will take care of everything." Gong Shiqi patted his chest and took the responsibility.
Song Yangming's eyes lit up. He had never thought of this relationship. He was still thinking about how to solve this problem, and just when he was about to fall asleep, he ran into his old classmate Gong Shiqi.
Immediately, Song Yangming did not hide it from him and pulled him aside to tell him the situation. After listening to Song Yangming's explanation, Gong Shiqi thought for a moment and asked him to wait a moment while he went to inquire about the matter first. Then he turned around and hurried back inside.
