71 Chapter 71 : Pierre and Hongqis Brotherhood (1/2)

After spending a good amount of time with Song Yingpei, Hongqi went inside a private room to wait for Han Pierre. He already guessed that this flamboyant man will be asking him tons of questions and proposals.

A waiter went inside and served him a new bottle whiskey. This might be his third drink tonight. He has high tolerance against liquors but he was afraid that once he gets home, he might lose control and pester his wife all night.

As possible he doesn't want to get on her nerves every now and then. Add that they had a heated conversation just a while ago. The topic they discussed still lingers in his head.

The luxurious wooden door of the room suddenly opened and revealed the exuberant Han Pierre.

”Brother Hongqi, did you wait too long?” Pierre quickly said once he saw Hongqi's cold demeanor waiting for him. When Pierre came in, he still has that fake smile on his face that he only plasters to a crowd.

”Don't strain your face by smiling all throughout the night. I'm the only one here. You can remove that stupid smile.” Hongqi mocked Pierre and sips on his whiskey. The night is still young and they have plenty of time to catch up and plan.

Pierre only chuckled at Hongqi's crude comments. They've been friends since they were toddlers so saying barbaric remarks to each other were a usual thing. They can't claim that they are childhood friends but more on they are like siblings but with different parents. They are not close but they have tacit understanding.

”I have to make sure that I can still smile for eight hours straight, my dear brother Hongqi. I'll be debuting back to the public soon. I don't want my acting to be exposed so early.” Pierre muttered while he pours some whiskey on his glass.

Hongqi didn't replied but only watched him pour that bottle of whiskey.

”It seems that you have good a relationship with the Songs. I really admire your sense of strategic planning, brother.” Pierre pointed. He drank a large amount of whiskey and he made a refreshing 'ahh' sound after, then he poured another one. Pierre thought that the whiskey oddly tastes good tonight.

”Originally, the Songs were really not included in my plans. But Song Yingpei approached me and pestered me for so long that I have to think of a plan how to use him and his family name.” Hongqi divulge such information to Pierre. They have been scheming together for so many years, it was only normal for Hongqi to spill these information to Pierre.

”Oh really?! I see. I didn't know that General Song approached you first. Why was he desperate? Is his business reaching bankruptcy?” Pierre queried and looked straight to Hongqi. His curiosity over this topic got more intense. He never thought the marriage between Hongqi and the youngest daughter of the Song family started because of Song Yingpei's desperation.

”No. The Song family assets are flourishing as expected. Song Yingpei got married to the family full of scholars, the Fei family. Fei Qingge is an amazing accountant and businesswoman that controls the Fei businesses. She's very lowkey and a full time housewife now. Though she didn't involve herself to the Song family business but she shared her knowledge to her husband and daughters. Look at how successful each of the Song sisters' businesses. Anyway, Song Yingpei was actually desperate to find a good son-in-law to control his business that's why he pestered me to be his son-in-law.” Hongqi explained. The mother-in-law might be hostile to him but he admits that his mother-in-law is a smart woman. She might even saw through him already. On the other hand, Song Yingpei is considered over-trustful to him. Until today, he finds it weird for that ex-general to fully trust him.

”I heard that each of them has mastered their field. I didn't know their mother heavily influenced them.” Pierre remarked. He already heard the stories of the Song sisters. He was rather baffled that there's a curse rumor going around those women. It was an interesting rumor but he doesn't care about that.

”Yes. They were really good in their field, especially my wife, Song Xiulan. I don't know how good she is in her field but the army uses her skills. Quite interesting, right?” Hongqi felt proud over Xiulan's skills.
