Song Tingshen really was under pressure at work. The market was intensely competitive. Anyone that started a company couldn’t avoid the occurrence of various crises, not even for people with deep family backgrounds. A single error in a project could cause considerable losses. Every day, every week, there were several companies that went bankrupt in this city. Among these, there were large enterprises and companies that had been the very best in their fields in the past. Now that the economic situation was getting worse, it took even more effort to occupy an absolute market advantage and not fall with the others.

  Song Corporation wasn’t an exception. Fortunately, Song Tingshen was very calm. After all, this wasn’t the first time this type of situation had happened. He had encountered many ups and downs in the past decade after starting his business.

  He knew that he hadn’t paid attention to his family during this period of time. There were times that he wanted to explain everything to Ruan Xia, but he didn’t want her to worry with him. Song Corporation was in a critical period. Whether it would rise to a new level or go downhill, it all depended on what happened during this period. This was a watershed that the company couldn’t avoid. Once this busy period was over, he wanted to take her and Little Wang to a tropical island to escape from the approaching winter.

  He was used to not sharing his company matters to his family and friends.

  He didn’t explain, and Ruan Xia couldn’t resist guessing on her own.

  This morning, when the housekeeper aunty was clearing the table, she sighed, “Time flies. It’s only a month from New Year.”


  Her words reminded Ruan Xia of something. She hastily returned to her room and seriously calculated the time.

  Oh no!

  In the novel, Song Corporation went through a crisis around the half year mark after Song Tingshen’s death. The original owner wasn’t able to turn the tide and could only watch Song Corporation fail. She had no way of saving the company. She didn’t have any experience. She had married Song Tingshen before graduating and hadn’t worked since. In addition, Song Corporation had invested in many projects. Song Tingshen had worked hard for over a decade to build up this company, but it collapsed like a house of cards without him.

  There was no detailed description of this event, so Ruan Xia didn’t know much about the situation. According to the novel’s timeline, this should be the time when Song Corporation encountered its crisis.

  And so, it meant that her imagination had run wild when she had thought there was a conspiracy that caused Song Corporation to fall in the novel. Since there was a problem with Song Corporation even with Song Tingshen being alive, it meant that it was an inevitable problem in the market and had nothing to do with his absence.

  The plot was too strong. She thought things would change if Song Tingshen didn’t die. And that as long as she didn’t go out, Qin Yu wouldn’t show up. In the end, he appeared several times and caused her a lot of trouble. She had thought Song Corporation wouldn’t face any problems with Song Tingshen around, but now it seemed that she was proven wrong again.

  Ruan Xia decided that she would subtly ask Song Tingshen about it when he came home… although she didn’t know if there was anything she could do to help.
