Chapter 440: The 440th Chapter Absolute Strength

Old Mrs. Song still asked Song Ting what exactly had happened.

Song Ting, originally hesitant and evasive, finally confessed the whole truth after Old Mrs. Song had slapped her on the back.

Old Mrs. Song was also angry. Why were people so mean?

If someone is honest and kind, do they deserve to be bullied?

Alas, there was nowhere to turn for justice.

Song Yunuan said, "Youngest Aunt, I’ll go with you to your workplace tomorrow."

Song Ting, ashamed, fiddled with the hem of her shirt and finally said, "... I... Little Nuan... I..."

Old Mrs. Song looked at her daughter with disappointment, "Why can’t you talk to your niece?"

Song Ting hurriedly said, "Little Nuan, it’s okay, I’ll take you to our unit tomorrow for a visit."

Song Yunuan told Song Ting, "I’m not going there to look around or for fun. I’m going to talk to your teacher, Deputy Chief Zhu, about something."

Song Ting couldn’t help but ask, "Talk about what?"

Song Yunuan said, "It’s about the Xiangjiang Business Association inviting your troupe to perform in Xiangjiang."

Song Ting was greatly surprised, and so was Old Mrs. Song.

Zhu Mann was also shocked.

She knew the girl was capable, but she didn’t expect her to be this capable.

She had received calls from the leadership above and from Chairman Lew first thing in the morning.

Without a doubt, this invitation had been facilitated by Song Yunuan.

This invitation also covered all expenses.

In other words, they just had to perform well and not worry about anything else.

Moreover, there were no specific demands for the content of the performance.

They even suggested that they would invite some elderly gentlemen who had participated in the patriotic movement to attend the show.

The significance of this gesture was self-evident.

Zhong Shaoqing had come as well.

Naturally, Adah and Acheng followed him.

These two were tall and hefty, and their presence alone was imposing.

Zhong Shaoqing was efficient in handling affairs, settling everything on the same day without staying overnight.

Mainly because Uncle Lew strongly agreed and supported it.

He felt hopeful about Zhong Shaoqing’s revenge and was also pleased that Zhong Shaoqing was getting closer to him, which made him feel especially comfortable.

Not to mention the generous meeting gift he received.

This time, the barter by Fanhua also caused a bit of a stir on Xiangjiang’s side.

The quality of the jade stones they exchanged varied, but even the lowest quality was passable, perfectly suitable for making various small pieces of jewelry.

You should know that in Xiangjiang, there’s not much Grade A jade—most of it is Grade C.

And the wealthy in Xiangjiang have a particular fondness for jade.

Song Yunuan asked Zhu Mann with a beaming smile, "... Deputy Chief Zhu, is it okay if I take a look around with my youngest aunt?"

Of course, it was okay.

Therefore, Zhu Mann personally took them on a comprehensive tour.

This was enough to get familiar with almost everyone.

Lew Xia and the others were in the rehearsal hall, and Zhong Shaoqing was very polite, always asking Song Yunuan for permission wherever they went.

For instance, standing outside the rehearsal hall, Zhong Shaoqing and Adah wouldn’t enter without Song Yunuan’s consent.

Yet such a combination still drew everyone’s attention.

Especially upon seeing the cheerful Song Ting.

Duan Chuchu’s face instantly darkened with the thought, ’Damn Song Ting, wasn’t she supposed to be shy and timid? Now she’s even learned to find herself a backer.’

Duan Chuchu, standing in the back, eyed Song Yunuan maliciously, but Song Yunuan caught her gaze in an instant.

Song Yunuan narrowed her eyes. She hadn’t triggered any plotlines yet, but she was sure this person was the instigator of the bullying against her youngest aunt.

Youngest Aunt was a sincere person.

Does someone honest deserve to be bullied?

Bullying an honest person is a crime!

She turned her head and said to Zhong Shaoqing, "This is the rehearsal area for Song and Dance Troupe One, and you’re one of the sponsors—you should come in and have a look."

Zhu Mann glanced at Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan responded with a sweet smile.

Zhu Mann then announced, "Everyone come over, I have some good news to tell you all."

Thus, everyone in the rehearsal hall learned that their troupe would be going to Xiangjiang for a consolation performance soon.

There wasn’t a single person who wasn’t thrilled about going to Xiangjiang for a performance.

Everyone looked at Zhu Mann with eager eyes, wondering if everyone could go or if only a select few would be chosen.

It was certain that not everyone could go.

Just like every performance, it wasn’t an all-out affair.

But Zhu Mann’s gaze fell on Song Yunuan; she didn’t introduce Song Yunuan as Song Ting’s niece but rather as the founder of Fanhua Import and Export Company, and currently the youngest chairman in Dragon Kingdom.

She was the one who had single-handedly facilitated this invitation to Xiangjiang for a consolation performance.

Of course, the enthusiastic invitation was one thing, but if someone didn’t want to go, there was nothing that could be done.

After all, sometimes there were many factors to consider.

Who would pass up such an invitation?

Zhu Mann knew that they had long harbored the idea but just hadn’t found the right opportunity.

When the leader called her this morning, his voice was full of excitement.

This opportunity was just perfect.

He agreed immediately without a hint of hesitation.

There was no need for a special introduction, many people already knew Song Yunuan’s name, and that she was Song Ting’s niece.

Lew Xia ducked behind the crowd, feeling relieved that she hadn’t had a conflict with Song Ting the night before.

If there had been a conflict, she and Song Ting would be in a silent standoff today.

That would certainly lead to a strained relationship.

She glanced at Duan Chuchu, whose face looked terrible.

Then she turned her head away and stopped looking at her.

Zhong Shaoqing greeted everyone with a laugh, saying all the right things for the occasion.

He also assured everyone not to worry, saying that there were no limits on the number of invites and hoped everyone could go to Xiangjiang for the performance.

Zhu Mann’s lips curled slightly.

Not to worry?

This little guy from Xiangjiang had a way with words.

Many couldn’t help but cheer involuntarily.

When Song Yunuan and Zhong Shaoqing left Song and Dance Troupe One, some of the people who had previously isolated Song Ting, and who had the audacity, approached her to chat.

As Song Yunuan was leaving, she told Song Ting that Teacher Zhu Mann would definitely hold a meeting, mainly to emphasize unity.

Unity had always been emphasized, but that was when they hadn’t gone out.

This time the emphasis was particularly strict.

Though there were no limits on the number of participants, those with existing issues would definitely be removed from the list.

At this moment, compared to the future, the thought of going to Xiangjiang was overwhelmingly exciting.

Nobody wanted to be the one who got removed.

So, everyone was friendly, with the general sentiment being, "If you’re good, I’m good, and everyone’s good."

Regarding Song Ting, even if there was resentment inside, it was best not to show it.

Song Ting said she wouldn’t.

She also whispered to Song Yunuan about the things she had done yesterday, feeling particularly exhilarated.

Song Yunuan didn’t expect her youngest aunt to have made such progress.

It seemed that when pressured, the potential was indeed limitless.

In just one morning, Duan Chuchu’s little circle had been dissolved.

Song Ting believed in the saying: In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers.

As for Shi Jinglan, she believed the truth would soon come to light.

While Song Yunuan was at the Song and Dance Troupe, Old Mrs. Song, accompanied by Di, looked at a few houses currently on the market.

Some were big, some were small.

Old Mrs. Song trusted Little Nuan’s words and opted to buy one of those detached courtyard houses; it didn’t matter if it was small.

She took a liking to one and, after discussing it with Song Yunuan, bought it on the spot.

As for the paperwork, it was quite cumbersome.

Luckily, with Di’s help, a lot of trouble was spared.

That evening, when Song Yunuan went to pick up her youngest aunt for dinner at Second Grandpa’s place, she noticed a man in the corner.

When the man saw Song Yunuan, he squinted his eyes.

A flicker of malice flashed through them.

Song Yunuan was alone.

She had originally wanted to bring Asheng with her, but since he had come down with chickenpox, she had to leave him at home.

With Xia Xindong looking after him, the family was at ease.
