Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Chapter 144: Chapter 144 I'll Be the Mascot

Secretary Cheng soon embarked on his mission to the Magic Capital.

Upon arriving in the Magic Capital, Secretary Cheng did not seek out Song Yun directly; instead, he hailed a taxi and went to the residence of the foremost bigwig of the Magic Capital.

After knocking on the door, the number one bigwig of the Magic Capital was shocked to see Secretary Cheng standing outside in casual wear.

What's going on???

Why has Secretary Cheng come? Could it be that Old Master Ouyang is following behind him?

Peeking out and looking around, but finding nothing but empty space outside, Secretary Cheng chuckled and said, "No need to look any longer, it's just me today."

The other party heaved a sigh and felt a bit downhearted; he and Secretary Cheng had been schoolmates back in the day and shared a good relationship.

After stepping aside to let Secretary Cheng in, he asked with puzzlement, "What brings you to the Magic Capital today?"

"Heh, just missing an old friend," replied Secretary Cheng with a smile.

Sipping tea with a smile, Secretary Cheng said, "We haven't seen each other for over half a year, haven't you missed me a bit?"

"Humph! Those whom Cheng Liguo remembers usually don't have anything good happen to them afterward!" The bigwig spoke somewhat angrily, "That investment attraction project was supposed to settle in the Magic Capital, but just because I had a drink with you and went soft, I gave it to Forty-nine City. The more I thought about it afterward, the more it felt off.

Everyone else gets sugar-coated bullets, but to me, it turns into a hard pea that's neither here nor there?"

Patting the bigwig's shoulder with a sigh, Cheng Liguo said, "This proves that Brother Yue is impartial and selfless!"

"Bullshit..."

"Yue Ji, I've praised you so much, don't get too full of yourself! If you can't hold your liquor, stop whining. I'm all in today; ready to accompany a gentleman even if it costs me. What do you think?"

Cheng Liguo's words made Yue Ji frown slightly and he asked unhappily, "What are you up to, you little rascal?"

"Actually, I'm here today with a message from Old Master Ouyang. Want to hear it or should I leave right this instant?"

"I'll listen!"

Joking apart, a matter is a matter. Listening to the message doesn't prevent me from despising you in the slightest.

"Have you heard of Song Yun?"

"Ah, that young fellow who's been quite prominent lately?" Yue Ji pondered for a moment before saying, "Could it be that he's entangled with the Ouyang Family in some way?"

"Not at all. Song Yun is the son of an old friend of Old Master Ouyang. So, without violating any principles, Old Master Ouyang hopes you can look out for him a bit."

"Wait a moment."

Yue Ji made a phone call to his secretary, instructing him to pull up all details regarding Song Yun's assets in the Magic Capital.

After about ten minutes, the secretary responded that Song Yun's company was running normally, actively paying taxes every month, and did not involve any illegal activities.

"This young man is quite upright, I like that," Yue Ji said with a smile. "Rest assured, we'll definitely take good care of conscientious entrepreneurs like Song Yun."

"That puts my mind at ease. After all, he has some irreconcilable conflicts with certain families in Forty-nine City. You must stand firm."

"It's just the Nangong Family; with the Ouyang Family backing us, I'm pretty relaxed," he replied.

"Heh, I hope so," said Cheng Liguo.

Cheng Liguo knew some things about Song Yun's father, so on the surface in Forty-nine City, only the Nangong Family was openly against Song Yun, but who could say for sure about behind the scenes!

The two chatted cordially for quite a while longer before Cheng Liguo decided to proceed to the Ye Corporation to meet this new dignitary of the Magic Capital.

Declining Yue Ji's offer to send a car, he hailed a taxi at the roadside to get to Ye Corporation.

At the front desk, like a scholar immersed in books for years, Cheng Liguo courteously requested to see Song Yun.

The receptionist, unsure of the background of the middle-aged man in front of her, directly made a call to the secretary of the board.

With each report going up one level after another, the call eventually reached Song Yun.

Song Yun was at the moment calculating with Mr. Ye in his office how to further beat a man when he's down, when an internal call came through.

Hearing someone was looking for him, Song Yun felt a bit puzzled.

"Cheng Liguo? Never heard of him."

Mr. Ye, who was looking over the reports at the side, suddenly looked up, grabbed Song Yun's arm excitedly, and exclaimed, "Cheng Liguo? The Cheng Secretary from Forty-nine City?"

"I don't know."

Hearing Song Yun's response, Mr. Ye slapped him on the back of the head discontentedly and said, "Cheng Liguo, the secretary of Old Master Ouyang Shu!"

"What's he doing in Magic Capital?"

After some thought, Mr. Ye asked, "Could it be because you've taken over all of the Nangong family's companies, you've upset the Ouyang family?"

"That's unlikely, Old Master Ouyang is not a petty person," Song Yun shrugged and said, "Us guessing is useless, why not invite him up and ask."

"What do you mean invite up! We should go down to greet him," Mr. Ye said, somewhat speechlessly. Others upon encountering Secretary Cheng couldn't wait to fawn over him, yet his son-in-law was acting as if it was nothing.

Song Yun and Mr. Ye went to the lobby and from a distance saw a middle-aged man dressed in casual attire but standing straight with an alert demeanor.

Upon seeing the man's face, Mr. Ye became very excited; he had been extremely fortunate to have shared a meal with the Secretary Cheng on his past visit to Forty-nine City!

"Secretary Cheng, hello, what brings you to Magic Capital today?" Mr. Ye hurried forward, excitedly grasping Secretary Cheng's hand as he asked.

"Old Ye, long time no see," Cheng Liguo said cheerfully, "You've found a good son-in-law there, he manages to stay on the Old Master's mind all the way from Magic Capital."

After speaking, Cheng Liguo looked towards Song Yun, his first impression was that this young man was quite impressive!

His eyes held no flattery, but a calm composure; his attitude was that of an ordinary person, unaffected by honor or disgrace.

This was the kind of man the Old Master truly valued!

"Hello Song Yun, my name is Cheng Liguo, I'm Old Master Ouyang's secretary. The last time you visited Forty-nine City, I happened to be out on an inspection," Cheng Liguo reached out his hand and shook hands with Song Yun.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they made their way to the office.

Mr. Ye could tell that today Cheng Liguo came especially for Song Yun, so he tactfully found an excuse to leave.

"Song Yun, your current situation is still a bit precarious, I didn't come here today with anything particular for you to do. I'm just here as a lucky charm, to send out a signal," Cheng Liguo said while sipping his tea. "I know the Nangong family well; if they decide to go for broke, you alone definitely won't be able to withstand them."

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"Keep a low profile, even lower," Cheng Liguo said seriously. "Speaking of which, I'm also somewhat related to the Nangong family. I'm here following the Old Master's orders to give them a knock on the wrist, to save you from disappearing without understanding why!"

Hearing this, Song Yun looked somewhat surprised and asked curiously, "Would the Nangong family dare to do such a thing?"

"They wouldn't dare, but there are many families attached to the Nangong family, and a lot of people would prefer you to disappear!"

"So, for the time being, just diligently work on integrating those companies of the Nangong family, and don't roam about unnecessarily. After all, there are more than a few people in this world who yearn for wealth and status!"
