Chapter 109 Who is the Hunter?
Song Ni had heard of the GN Group from Song Jing more than once. It was a capital group dedicated to racing and sports events, with a fierce momentum in recent years, encroaching on the territory of many domestic enterprises, and feared by countless people. Song Ni never expected that her husband, Tan Zheng, was the mysterious power behind the GN Group.
Now she understood everything. No wonder Tan Zheng said that two floors of sports cars worth hundreds of billions were nothing, and no wonder Lu Fang, whose family had a deeper foundation than the Tan family, still respected Tan Zheng so much. No wonder she felt the oppressive force in his eyes and the aura of a superior he inadvertently exuded when they first met.
How could she have forgotten? Tan Zheng was famous in his youth for his reckless racing, but apart from that, he, like other scions of prominent families, had never slacked in his studies. In fact, he went to IT entirely on his own. Song Ni suddenly understood. Why Tan Zheng knew talented people who modified cars at a young age and could use his connections to build a team for the racing team. People in IT are smart, and it's only a matter of willingness to learn business for them.
GN Group was established abroad, mainly because the racing industry abroad is relatively more mature, and sports events have always been a big cake. Therefore, Tan Zheng not only studied and competed, but even built his own capital empire.
It was terrifying. Song Ni suddenly felt that compared to Tan Zheng, she could not be associated with the word "excellent." She had no passion, which led to her not having enough ambition. Everything she did was for her own comfort. She chose fashion design because she was tired of haute couture from major brands. She even gave up an offer from a top academy because she disliked the food abroad. Even with some achievements and the favor of masters, she found it tedious and switched to learning business management.
Compared to others, her achievements were already incomparable. Having stayed in her comfort zone for too long, Song Ni had become accustomed to this state and didn't feel anything was wrong. She thought she was excellent.
After learning tonight that Tan Zheng was the power behind the GN Group, all her perceptions shattered into pieces. What excellence was hers? With her superior family background and a relatively clever mind, she had achieved some success in her fields. But what did it all amount to? Karate, designer, bartender, acting... not to mention the account with millions of followers. These were not her career. Relying on her youth and being still in school, she never rushed to plan a career because she could live well even without her own career.
But Tan Zheng was different. He turned his passion into his career. Not only did he have GN, but he also had the Tan family. Song Ni's heart burned. The sudden realization made her ponder and admire Tan Zheng even more.
She asked, "Have you been taking a vacation for yourself during this time?"
Tan Zheng casually glanced at the information sent by his chief assistant, then threw his phone aside, shifting to a more comfortable position so he could hold Song Ni without pulling on the injury on her waist.
"You could say that." He was supposed to be busy with the layout of entering the domestic market, but after discovering that his blind date was Song Ni, he handed the matter over to his subordinates. He had been busy enough for five years, and it was time to give himself a good break and get to know, understand, and spend time with this interesting young girl. Of course, he didn't plan to tell Song Ni, lest she become arrogant.
Song Ni did not dare to think of herself. "Then when will you be busy again?" Song Ni was afraid that when Tan Zheng became busy, their interaction would become very strange. The window paper hadn't been pierced, and were they really going to live together in a form of arranged marriage? What did their kisses and ambiguity mean then? She didn't want that; once her heart was moved, there was no turning back.
"When you are well."
Song Ni: ...
"What do you mean?" Tan Zheng gently rubbed Song Ni's waist.
"Yucheng is a development highland for China's automobile industry, but it has always lacked professional race tracks. GN Group's first project upon returning to China will be in Yucheng."
Song Ni understood. So Tan Zheng had already made arrangements in Yucheng, but it just happened that she was injured. Her感动 was instantly reduced, and her mood was no longer as pleasant. She thought Tan Zheng had rushed over immediately out of concern for her. It turned out she was being sentimental again.
Tan Zheng keenly sensed the change in the young girl in his arms and lowered his head to ask, "What's wrong?"
Song Ni reached out and poked Tan Zheng's firm chest, muttering in a muffled voice, "And I was so touched."
Tan Zheng's eyes moved slightly. After a moment's thought, he understood the girl's convoluted thoughts. "I've handed this matter over to Zhou Jin. I came to Yucheng to see you, and the project is just a casual visit."
Zhou Jin was one of GN Group's chief assistants, the unfortunate soul who had just delivered the clothes. And Zhou Jin, driving back to the hotel in the cold wind and rain after delivering the clothes, sneezed unexpectedly. The unfortunate soul never imagined that their president, whom they had finally waited for, didn't want to work and only wanted to warm the bed for his wife.
GN Group's first project upon returning to China was just a casual visit? Song Ni subconsciously didn't want to believe it, but Tan Zheng was not the type of person to lie just to coax her. This meant that this was indeed Tan Zheng's idea.
Cough! This dog man was either a straight man with his words or an unknowingly sweet talker. The contrast was too great, making it easier to fall for him.
"Is 'just a casual visit' something a group president should say?" Tan Zheng smiled and wrapped Song Ni's fidgeting fingers in his hand.
"It's something your husband should say."
Song Ni: ...
Had Tan Zheng secretly taken some male virtue courses without her knowledge? Why was he so... so glib now? She liked this kind of glibness.
Song Ni didn't intend to ask further. Regarding GN, regarding the Tan family, these were still a bit complicated for her. Would Tan Zheng use his identity as the power behind GN to take over the Tan family in the future? No one could be sure. However, it would definitely stir up waves at that time. And the Tan family would no longer be an emerging power, but a new noble that everyone would want to curry favor with.
Song Ni buried herself in the man's warm embrace, cherishing it, and suddenly remembered a very suspicious question. She had been puzzled at the time: why would the rebellious young master of the Tan family agree to an arranged marriage? Now that she knew Tan Zheng's other identity, this doubt deepened. The power behind GN, even if he didn't take over the Tan family, was noble enough. The Tan family could not possibly threaten Tan Zheng with their family business. Then why did Tan Zheng agree to this marriage?
Song Ni suddenly lifted her head from Tan Zheng's embrace. She stared intently into the man's eyes and asked, "Did you agree to the blind date because the blind date was me?"
As she asked this question, Song Ni's hands clenched unconsciously, and her breathing became lighter. All along, she thought she was entering this marriage as the hunter, making plans for Tan Zheng, tempting him to addiction. But now, the more she thought about it, the more she felt like a little white rabbit targeted by the hunter.
Song Ni: I'm stupid.
Tan Zheng: You've finally found out.
