[BL] Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead's Ex-Boyfriend

Ch17 - Found a Good Friend

Two hours before the work day ended, the Song Group’s quarterly meeting was in session.

Fifteen minutes before the end of the meeting, a ringtone suddenly went off in the conference room, interrupting the financial director’s report. Everyone exchanged looks, looking for the source of the sound.

Song Xuanhe leaned to one side. His gaze leisurely fell on Song Guochao, who sat in front of him. His hearing had always been rather good. While others were looking for the source of the sound, he already knew that it was Song Guochao’s phone.

Chairman Song Yansong, who sat at the head of the table, also heard it. His already stern expression grew even more taut. He swept an imposing gaze around, wanting to find out who had broken the rule of silencing one’s phone during meetings.

Usually, Song Guochao couldn’t be considered smart. However, considering how he was already at such an age and had such a high position, he naturally wouldn’t break such a tiny rule. His phone had been put on silent. It was just that he had set up a special number. No matter when, so long as this phone number called, the ringtone would sound.

“Father, why does it seem like the sound is coming from you?”

Song Xuanhe leaned against the office chair, smiling. It was extremely provoking.

Song Guochao had originally been hesitating between answering the call and silencing it. When he saw that Song Xuanhe had put him on the spot in front of everyone in the conference room, rage boiled in his chest. However, he also didn’t want to lose face, so he said coldly, “It’s from Mr. Huang, who I have been discussing the new development zone with recently. Because we haven’t confirmed the partnership, I made his number special so that it can bypass the phone’s silent mode.”

After saying this, Song Guochao looked at the head of the table and said to Song Yansong, “Chairman, the meeting is just about to end. I cannot put off the matter with Mr. Huang. How about I go take this call?”

Song Yansong’s expression became a bit better. The new development zone was one of the Song Group’s biggest projects from the last half-year. Indeed, they could not be sloppy with it. Moreover, this meeting was indeed nearing the end. There was nothing much more to say. Therefore, he nodded and said, “What needs to be said has been said. We’ll end things here today.”

Song Guochao sighed in relief. He could faintly make out Song Xuanhe’s smile. His heart was in disorder, and anger arose. He must have sinned a lot in his last life to have been forced to connect with the Li family in marriage and have such a hateful, unfilial son.

The door to the conference room opened, and Song Yansong left first. The others also filed out. Song Guochao hurried to return the call and naturally was at the front of the line. Song Xuanhe fell to the back. Seeing Song Xuanhe look like he wanted to make trouble, Song Xuanlin said to him, “Don’t provoke Father. When you have time, come home more. Mom has been mentioning you often recently.”

Only, his memories of the original host and Song Xuanlin interacting were very distinct. Song Xuanhe’s tone was rather relaxed, and he smiled. “I know. I wasn’t making trouble for him.”

Song Xuanlin, however, knew his brother well. He didn’t believe him at all. He could only stress his point, “Jiani called me at lunch saying that you fired her. She probably went to her mom in the afternoon. Grandpa is already displeased about you and that man from the venture investment department. Don’t stir anything else up. If you do, Song Guochao will get involved with your marriage and might decide it for you. Don’t show off.”

When he heard this, Song Xuanhe nodded, taking his advice. Probably because of his personality, Song Xuanlin, who had been mature and steady from a young age, truly wanted what was best for his younger brother, despite the fact that they were not close like normal brothers. It was just that Song Xuanhe didn’t understand why the other could watch on without doing anything when his own brother had been chased out of the house.
