"Have you looked into it?" Mo Ting asked Lu Che as he looked out the floor-to-ceiling window at Hai Rui.
"Yes, I'm certain," Lu Che replied, "In Elder Song's eyes, Song Xin is a granddaughter that he believes he should be proud of. To him, she is extremely talented and kind-hearted. Although he is against her pursuing a career in the entertainment industry, it does not mean that he dotes on her any less."
"Doesn't this old man know how evil his granddaughter is?"
"Song Xin would never let him know," Lu Che laughed.
"Help me pass on an invite. I want to meet with the old man," Mo Ting said, before he turned around and placed his gaze on the documents on his desk. "Also, from now on, if an issue isn't important, leave it for Fang Yu to handle."
"Understood."
Mo Ting wanted to personally meet with Elder Song!
Personally!
Although Lu Che didn't know what Mo Ting wanted to do, according to his temper, the old man's fate didn't look good.
...
Elder Song did not expect Mo Ting to send him an invitation. After hearing that Mo Ting wanted to see him, he turned to his secretary and laughed, "This Mo Ting is merely the boss of an entertainment agency. For someone like him, I don't know how long he will need to queue to see me. I refuse to see him!"
"Minister, I'm afraid you can't refuse," the secretary leaned over and whispered in his ear. Hearing this, the old man slammed his hands on his desk angrily.
"How dare you!"
"To avoid future problems, it's best if the Minister meets with Mo Ting. You've already retired and am simply acting as an advisor. Things aren't as easy for you to resolve as they used to be. Don't put yourself at risk."
Elder Song remained silent for a few seconds. In the end, he nodded his head, "Go organize it then."
Elder Song had spent most of his life in politics, so he was naturally arrogant and prideful. But, Mo Ting understood people like him well. So, he told Lu Che to pass on a simple message.
"Previously, I was occupied with taking care of my pregnant wife, so it was regretful that I didn't get to meet with Elder Song. Now that I have some spare time, it makes sense for me to meet with you. I need to at least know whether my enemy is a good or bad."
Elder Song took note of Mo Ting's arrogance and planned to teach him a lesson.
Unfortunately, he would never get the chance.
That night, a heavy storm hit Beijing. Elder Song arrived at the meeting place in his car and followed his secretary to a private room. But, he was already late by half an hour.
He originally thought that Mo Ting had been waiting for a long time inside the room. But, after entering the room, Mo Ting was nowhere to be seen. Only after ten minutes did he arrive.
Elder Song sat in his chair and looked at the young man with a smile, "This is the first time I've seen a youngster invite an elder and arrive later than the elder."
Mo Ting neatened his suit and brushed off the water drops on his body before he sat down and replied, "Please excuse my lateness. After all, I recently became a father and life has been a bit busy, so it naturally wasted a bit of time."
