After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 379 A greater crisis

I stopped what I was doing, turned to look at her, my eyes filled with gratitude: "Sisi, you're my savior! This pilot project proposal is brilliant; it alleviates their concerns and showcases our capabilities!"

She waved her hand and said with a smile, "Don't praise me anymore, hurry up and revise it, there's not much time left."

I nodded and quickly got to work on the revisions. Xu Sisi helped me organize the data and case studies, offering suggestions on details from time to time.

Half an hour before the meeting started, I finally finished the final revisions to the plan. Xu Sisi printed out the document for me and handed it to me: "Momo, good luck! I believe we will succeed this time."

I took the document and tried to calm myself down: "Thank you, Sisi. Without you, I might still be struggling with the profit distribution issue."

She smiled and patted my shoulder: "Don't mention it, we're a team. But you'd better do your best later, don't let me work for nothing."

I nodded, gripping the document in my hand tightly: "Don't worry, I will definitely convince them."

Meanwhile, during these few days, I took every opportunity to meet with several neutral directors of the Song family.

At 8 PM, Song Yang and I arrived at the private club in the west of the city on time. The club's decor was understated yet luxurious, with a faint scent of sandalwood in the air. We were led by a waiter into a secluded private room, where three directors were already seated—Chairman Li, Chairman Wang, and Chairman Zhang.

Chairman Li, the most senior member of the board of directors, nodded slightly when he saw us come in: "President Song, Ms. Gu, please have a seat."

After we sat down, Song Yang got straight to the point: "The reason I invited you here today is to talk about the future of the Song family."

Chairman Wang frowned, his tone somewhat cold: "President Song, we all know about the conflict between you and Song Feng, but this is your family matter, and we don't want to get involved."

I took over the conversation, speaking sincerely: "Chairman Wang, this is not just a family matter. Song Feng colluded with Lin Qing and Zhao Xing, attempting to control the Song family through improper means, which is fatal to the long-term development of the group."

Chairman Zhang raised an eyebrow, seemingly interested: "Ms. Gu, what evidence do you have?"

I took out the documents I had prepared beforehand and handed them to them: "These are some of Lin Qing and Zhao Xing's recent activities, as well as their private transactions with Song Feng. If these are made public, the Song family's reputation will be severely damaged."

The three directors reviewed the documents, their expressions gradually becoming grave. Chairman Li put down the documents and sighed, "Song Feng really went too far this time."

Taking the opportunity, Song Yang said, "The three of you need your support. As long as you vote against it at the next board meeting, we can stop Song Feng's plan and protect the future of the Song family."

After a moment of silence, Chairman Wang finally spoke: "President Song, Miss Gu, can you guarantee that this operation will not plunge the Song Group into an even greater crisis?"

I nodded solemnly: "We already have a complete solution that can not only resolve the crisis, but also give the Song family a more advantageous position in the market."

Chairman Zhang looked at Chairman Li and Chairman Wang and said slowly, "If you can guarantee the stability of the Song family, we can consider supporting you."

Song Yang smiled slightly: "Thank you for your trust. We will definitely get the Song family back on track."

Stepping out of the clubhouse, the night breeze was slightly cool.

I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Song Yang: "I didn't expect it to be done so quickly."

"It's a world driven by self-interest, so what can't be resolved? As long as the money is high enough, there's basically no one who won't agree. They're all smart people; they know what to do."

I was still a little uneasy: "But Song Feng won't just sit here and wait to die. He will definitely find a way to fight back."

Song Yang sneered: "Let him come. This time, I won't give him any more chances."

"Then we'll wait and see." No sooner had she spoken than Jiang Yichen appeared in the distance.

"He's here to pick you up, so I'll be going now!" Song Yang waved and said.

I stood there, a warm feeling welling up inside me, and quickly walked towards Song Yang. When he saw me coming, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he reached out and pulled me into his arms.

"It's so cold outside, why aren't you staying in the car?" I leaned against his chest, feeling the warmth of his body, and couldn't help but complain softly.

He looked down at me, his eyes full of affection: "I want to see you as soon as possible, I can't wait."

I looked up and glared at him, but couldn't help laughing: "Silly, I'm not going to run away."

He pinched my cheek, his tone teasing, "You never know. What if you run off with someone else? What will I do then?"

I teased him on purpose: "Then why don't you find another one?"

He immediately tightened his arms around me, holding me even closer: "No, I've decided on you for the rest of my life, I don't want anyone else."

My heart fluttered with joy, but I refused to admit defeat: "Then you'd better perform well, or I'll have to think about it."

He lowered his head, his forehead touching mine, and said in a deep, gentle voice, "Then I'll pick you up from get off work every day?"

I couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Barely passing."

He pretended to be angry and gently pinched my waist: "Gu Mo, aren't your standards too high?"

I dodged his hand and ran away laughing: "Of course, I'm very hard to coax."

He caught up with me, grabbed my hand, and pulled me back into his arms: "I'll accept it no matter how hard it is to coax you, because I like you."

I leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, my heart filled with happiness. The night wind was cold, but his embrace made me feel incredibly warm.

"Jiang Yichen," I called him softly.

"Hmm?" He looked down at me.

"Thank you for always being by my side." I looked up and met his eyes.

He smiled, lowered his head and gently kissed my forehead: "Silly girl, I should be the one saying that. Thank you for always being there for me."

I tiptoed and gently touched his lips: "Then we're even."

He paused for a moment, then smiled: "That's not enough." With that, he lowered his head and kissed my lips, tenderly and affectionately.

I closed my eyes, feeling his presence, and there were only the two of us left, along with the quiet night sky.

After a long while, he let go of me and said softly, "Let's go home."

I nodded and squeezed his hand: "Okay, let's go home."

We walked side by side in the night, the streetlights casting long shadows. His hand was warm and strong, making me feel incredibly safe.

“Jiang Yichen,” I suddenly remembered something and turned to look at him.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I want to eat your fried eggs tomorrow morning," I said with a smile.

He raised an eyebrow: "That's all you're asking for?"

I nodded: "Yes, that's all."

He smiled and squeezed my hand: "Okay, I'll make it for you tomorrow morning, with a cup of hot milk."

My heart warmed, and I leaned on his shoulder: "Jiang Yichen, you're so kind."

He looked down at me, his eyes full of tenderness: "I'm only good to you."

"Are we just going to walk back like this today?" I looked up at him.
