Chapter 291 – The plot really couldn’t be altered… (2)
That night, Ruan Xia waited for Song Tingshen to come home. It was almost 11 PM. She would have usually gone to sleep with Little Wang a long time ago.
Song Tingshen was quite surprised when he saw her awake. He handed her his coat and asked, “It’s so late. Why are you still up?”
Ruan Xia was like an industrious little bee; she helped him hang up his coat and poured hot water for him. Finally, she asked, “Are you hungry? I’ll go make you a late night snack.”
Song Tingshen quite enjoyed her look of being busy for him. Although he wasn’t very hungry, it was cold at night now. Eating something to warm his stomach was pretty good too, so he nodded. “Okay.”
On a winter night, it would feel more comfortable to eat a bowl of piping hot noodles.
Song Tingshen drank the soup until the bowl was clean. Feeling a thin layer of sweat on his body, he comfortably sighed, “It’s great to have a wife.”
Not waiting for Ruan Xia to say something, he stood up, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and headed to the kitchen.
Ruan Xia followed him into the kitchen. They had a dishwasher, but there was only one dirty bowl right now, so Song Tingshen simply stood by the sink and washed the bowl and chopsticks.
She walked behind Song Tingshen. Copying from the plots from TV shows, she hugged him from behind and nuzzled.
Neither of them said anything. They both treasured this moment very much.
For Song Tingshen, a night like this was very lovely. A bowl of hot noodles and a silent hug was enough to dissipate his tiredness from the past few days.
“You’ve been so busy lately. Is there something wrong with the company?” Ruan Xia had to take the initiative to break the warm moment. She probingly inquired, “You’ve been leaving early and come back late every day. Although there’s a lot that I don’t know, I’ll feel better if you tell me about it. Otherwise, I’ll worry you’re having an affair.”
She only said the last sentence to ease the atmosphere. She believed in Song Tingshen’s character more than anyone else.
Song Tingshen chuckled. “I’m already overwhelmed with dealing with you. Where would I have the inclination and energy to do something difficult like stepping on two boats? You’re overestimating me too much.”
He was surprised she would think in this direction. A woman’s logical reasoning was as unfathomable as a heavenly book, even one lifetime wouldn’t be enough to decipher it.
Ruan Xia clenched her hand and playfully punched him. “What do you mean?!”
“Alright, I’ll tell the truth.”
Song Tingshen hadn’t wanted to share this with Ruan Xia because this wasn’t something that could be clearly explained in a few words. If he didn’t explain it well, she would make wild guesses and worry even more. He didn’t want to see that. He took a moment to plan out what to say, then he finally slowly said, “I drew up a plan a few months ago. The company is going to transform. You also know the current economic situation. Either the company rises up, or it’ll fall. Every company will encounter such a moment. Song Corporation isn’t an exception. Things are advancing so rapidly. If you don’t move forward, you’ll soon be replaced by your peers. There will naturally be an unavoidable crisis in the middle, but don’t worry. I can resolve it.”
Ruan Xia didn’t quite understand what he was saying, but there was one thing she was sure of. Song Corporation was in a period of crisis.
The plot really couldn’t be altered…
So then, was the demise of Song Corporation unchangeable?
