Chapter 726: Chapter 727: Misunderstood

The next day, Song Xiaodong listened to Su Yuya’s report, and after she finished speaking, asked, "Is there a Wang family in Minghe?"

"No," Su Yuya immediately replied with a decisive answer.

"Oh, any powerful people with the surname Wang?"

There are several, the Family Head has had conflicts with this Wang, or do you want to take care of him?" Su Yuya said.

"It’s not really a conflict," Song Xiaodong said, "I just wanted to know, oh, right, I don’t know the elder’s name, but there is a young man named Wang Youqiang."

"Knowing the name makes it easier, I’ll have someone look into it for you," Su Yuya said.

"Hmm," Song Xiaodong nodded.

Su Yuya immediately made a phone call to arrange the investigation. It wasn’t long before she had the results, "This Wang Youqiang’s family runs a small company, with assets around fifty million or so."

"Oh, that small, huh?" Song Xiaodong shook his head slightly.

With a smile, Su Yuya said, "Yes, indeed not large, it’s just a bit of money. We, the Su Family, can easily shake them up, and they’ll have to tuck their tails between their legs and behave."

Song Xiaodong chuckled, "We can’t always bully people with our power. Let’s leave this matter as it is for now and talk about it later."

Looking at Song Xiaodong, Su Yuya said, "You are definitely the most unique Family Head. If it were someone else in your position, they probably would have spread the word everywhere by now, hoping the whole world knows."

"I just don’t want the hassle," Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders.

"But you can’t avoid hassle now. I’ve arranged some important meetings for you recently, including some leaders from the province and the city’s mayor and party secretary."

"I have to meet them?" Song Xiaodong frowned involuntarily.

"You must meet them," Su Yuya said. "With a new Family Head, how could these people not meet you? Whether in business or on the official circuit, our Su Family needs to cultivate good relationships with these people. Otherwise, how can we nurture our newcomers?"

Song Xiaodong shrugged helplessly, "Alright, then let’s meet, but you have to accompany me. You can help me out when the time comes. I really don’t have much experience dealing with these people, so we don’t want to get the Su Family in too deep accidentally."

Su Yuya laughed, "Listen to you talk. You are the Patriarch of the Su Family. Even the provincial leaders wouldn’t dare to take you lightly, and the city leaders will have to flatter you."

That’s the power of a great family. In the Su Family, Third Brother Su Tongfei is a provincial ministerial-level leader. If handled well, he could become an official like a Vice Governor. With such an official, the city leaders generally really wouldn’t dare to offend him.

"For a family to grow, it indeed needs talent," Song Xiaodong said.

She nodded, "Now the younger generation in the Su Family is indeed lacking talent, and we must focus on nurturing talent now."

Song Xiaodong nodded, "You can arrange that, but besides talent, character is also very important. We are now a shareholding system, and if their character is not good, we might end up training them for nothing."

Su Yuya hesitated, "Family Head, I’ve always had a concern. This shareholding system can motivate existing family members, but once we nurture our family members, there won’t be extra shares to give to them. How can we motivate them then? If there isn’t enough benefit, their sense of belonging to the family surely won’t be high."

With a slight smile, Song Xiaodong said, "I’ve thought about that. We will reserve a large portion of our dividends as family reserve funds, which will be used to reward personnel in the future. Of course, we can also dilute shares later to give enough incentives to the young people, and even part of my shares can be given up."

"You giving up your shares?" Su Yuya looked at Song Xiaodong in surprise.

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly, "It’s not impossible. Although the Su Family is large, my aspirations aren’t with it. I bear the Song surname, and in the future, these things will still belong to the Su Family."

Su Yuya looked at Song Xiaodong, completely puzzled.

Song Xiaodong changed the subject, "By the way, you’ve been busy in and out of the Su Family these days, how come I’ve never seen your uncle-in-law?"

"He..." Su Yuya’s expression stiffened slightly, then she said with a bitter smile, "That’s why I envy Qingqing and Xuanxuan. They can be affectionate with you, but my marriage was arranged by the family. My man, I don’t even know whose home he is fooling around in now. We basically don’t interfere with each other, we do whatever we want."

Song Xiaodong was somewhat speechless, "Don’t you have children?"

With no children, I’m sterile. In a big family such as ours, continuing the lineage is considered important, and in my husband’s home, I am also unwelcome. That’s why I often return to the Su Family and don’t stay at their house; out of sight, out of mind, it keeps everyone’s mind at ease," Su Yuya said.

"You actually have such a problem, I didn’t notice. How about I check it for you?" Song Xiaodong said.

"Right, you’re a famous doctor, but what use would it be to cure me? It’s useless. That man of mine doesn’t touch me once a year."

Song Xiaodong frowned, "That’s not good. Such a situation can make a woman age more rapidly."

"Ah... then I really should get it treated," Su Yuya touched her face. At just over thirty, she couldn’t bear the thought of aging prematurely.

"Let me take your pulse first," Song Xiaodong said.

Su Yuya extended her hand and Song Xiaodong felt her pulse for a while. His expression grew increasingly strange and astonished.

"What’s wrong?" Su Yuya felt a bit unnerved by Song Xiaodong’s expression.

"Your pulse is very peculiar. I can’t determine the cause. Let’s go to the living room and I’ll take a closer look," he said.

Once they were in the living room, Su Yuya lay on the sofa. Song Xiaodong lifted her clothes to reveal her skin around the abdomen, and then his hands tapped, pressed, and kneaded around her belly.

Su Yuya only felt a special warmth from Song Xiaodong’s fingers, which must be his True Qi. Many experts in the family possess True Qi, so she had some understanding of it.

Just then, Shui Qingyue walked in and saw the two of them. Her expression immediately grew weird, and then she quickly turned around and walked out.

Su Yuya was taken aback, and her face flushed red. Shui Qingyue’s reaction was clearly a misunderstanding. She hurriedly called out, "Qingyue, come back. The Family Head is examining me for my illness."
