75: Chapter 75 Domineering Protecting Husband

Song Yuan turned around at the sound, it was a gentleman who had been talking with Ji City earlier. Song Yuan had checked on his phone, it was Huo Ziming, the President of Mingyang Real Estate.

Song Yuan had no professional intersection with Huo Ziming, nor did he have the opportunity to get to know someone of Huo Ziming's caliber.

Huo Ziming could call him by his full name, and Song Yuan felt that the recent scene must have attracted a lot of attention to him.

He smiled and nodded, "Huo."

Huo Ziming nodded back at him, then continued chatting and laughing with Ji City, "Uncle Ji never brings me along when investing in new projects. What a coincidence, I ran into you on site! How much are you investing? I'll follow!"

Ji City chuckled, "You, kid, want to meddle in everything. I invested thirty million, are you going to follow?"

"Then I'll co-invest thirty million. I trust Uncle Ji's judgment!"

The two chatted back and forth, appearing very familiar with each other.

Song Yuan stood quietly to the side, suppressing the small joy in his heart. Sixty million was raised so easily?

A single word from a rich person could decide the life or death of a startup company. He suddenly understood those who harbored resentment towards the wealthy.

Ji City's assistant ran over and whispered a few words to him. He seemed to have an urgent matter, said his goodbyes, and left, leaving Huo Ziming and Song Yuan.

Huo Ziming carefully scrutinized Song Yuan, then extended his hand after a moment, "President Song, a pleasure to cooperate!"

Song Yuan shook his hand, "A pleasure to cooperate! Huo, don't you want to see my game demo first?"

Huo Ziming waved his hand, appearing unconcerned, "Those aren't important. Let's sign the agreement first. My assistant and lawyer will come to your company to discuss the details."

Song Yuan handed over the business card he had prepared in advance. Huo Ziming took it.

"I still have things to do, President Song, please carry on!"

He spoke very politely, and his gaze lingered on Song Yuan for a few more seconds as he left.

Huo Ziming's phone in his pocket was vibrating non-stop. If he continued chatting, the person on the other end would be frantic.

He opened WeChat. Gu Shiyu was bombarding him with messages.

Gu Shiyu: [Have you found Song Yuan?]

Gu Shiyu: [Have you finalized the investment?]

Gu Shiyu: [Be careful not to invest too much at once. You can make follow-up investments later. That way, he'll feel a sense of accomplishment when he succeeds.]

Gu Shiyu: [Report back to me when it's done. You're the face, I'm behind the scenes.]

Gu Shiyu: [Cousin? Is your phone out of service!!!]

Gu Shiyu: [You have one minute to reply!!!]

Huo Ziming was Gu Shiyu's aunt's child, her cousin.

Huo Ziming swiped the screen a few times, found a convenient place to talk, and called Gu Shiyu back.

"It's done, but you're a bit overthinking it. My brother-in-law is quite capable. Before I even got there, he had already secured investment from Jishi Capital. You know Ji City never invests in startup companies. This time, he broke his own rule."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Shiyu was stunned, "Ji City? Did I hear that right?"

The Gu Family primarily dealt with automotive research and development. Since Gu Shiyu took over the company, she had expanded its business empire, with some involvement in real estate and the internet. However, there was little intersection with Jishi Capital in the financial industry. The two companies were leaders in their respective fields.

Gu Shiyu did want to dabble in the financial market, but she was an amateur in that area. She had tried to arrange a meeting with Ji City several times, but he politely declined.

Gu Shiyu's assessment of Ji City, that elder entrepreneur, was that he was extremely shrewd, principled, had a bottom line, and was stubborn and difficult to talk to.

She couldn't imagine that Song Yuan had actually secured Ji City, breaking his principles!

"That's right, it's Ji City! You wanted to protect your husband, but he doesn't even need it. Are you feeling frustrated?"

Huo Ziming's words pulled Gu Shiyu back to reality. She replied, "Frustrated about what? This proves my excellent taste in men. Just you wait, Song Yuan will sooner or later be a dark horse in the Beijing Circle, surpassing both you and me!"

"Alright, alright, that's enough. You're making me sick with your public display of affection. He's a good guy, so you've passed my test as your brother.

Also, Ji City invested thirty million. You told me not to invest too much at once, so I also followed with thirty million. Consider it a welcome gift from me, your brother, to my brother-in-law. I'm front and center, so you don't need to reimburse me."

Gu Shiyu chuckled on the other end, a rare moment of sweetness, "Thank you, Brother!"

Gu Shiyu had been worried all morning, even postponing meetings. Now, a weight had finally been lifted from her heart.

She was planning how to celebrate with Song Yuan when she got home that evening. She thought a candlelight dinner would be nice.

On the other side, Song Yuan was sharing the good news with his brothers in the work group. Upon hearing the news of his sixty million investment, the group was showered with red packets, and he also sent a few.

Song Yuan could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He thought about going to the balcony for a cigarette to relax.

Passing the restroom, Song Yuan saw a richly dressed aunt lying on the floor. He instinctively stopped.

The aunt was gasping, appearing to have difficulty breathing and in great discomfort. Her face was flushed red, but she couldn't call out for help.

Song Yuan knelt down and gently laid her flat, "Aunt, are you having an asthma attack?"

The aunt couldn't speak, she could only try her best to control her right hand to point at her bag that had fallen against the wall.

Song Yuan understood and immediately picked up the bag. He opened it and saw a spray medicine inside.

The aunt looked as if she had seen something life-saving, so excited she was almost crying.

Song Yuan helped her up and sprayed the medicine into her mouth according to the dosage written on the bottle. After a few minutes, the aunt felt much better and could finally speak slowly.

"Thank you..."

She uttered two words with difficulty.

Song Yuan helped her sit on the sofa and took out his phone to dial 120 for emergency services.

As soon as he hung up, Ji City rushed over with his people.

"Liya, how are you? Have you taken your medicine?"

Song Liya's breathing was much clearer, and her condition was gradually improving. Now she could speak slowly.

"Yes, I've taken it. This gentleman helped me."

Ji City looked up and finally saw Song Yuan standing by.

He had received Song Liya's call a few minutes ago and immediately went to find her, not expecting Song Yuan to have gotten there first.

He was grateful that someone had helped Song Liya, otherwise, he dared not imagine the consequences.

Ji City and Song Yuan had parted ways just minutes ago, discussing business. Meeting again, he was filled with gratitude, "Mr. Song, thank you for saving my wife. She has acute asthma, and it's very dangerous when it flares up. This time, she might have encountered something she's allergic to."

Song Yuan looked at this elegant aunt, realizing she was Ji City's wife.

"President Ji, you're too kind. I just happened to pass by. Anyone would have helped in such a situation."

Ji City expressed his gratitude once more, "On behalf of my wife, and my entire family, I thank you again. I wonder if you have time to come to our home for dinner this weekend?"

Ji City was afraid his invitation wasn't sincere enough, so he added, "Just as partners, we can chat. I like young people your age; you have unique insights into everything!

You come, and I'll host, alright?"
