Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1566 - 1460: Meeting

Song Yun was just about to say something when Song Ergou’s phone rang.

Song Ergou looked at the phone number with a strange expression, then answered it, speaking in a slightly respectful tone, "Hello... hmm, yes, I’ve already returned, okay... hmm, I understand!"

After speaking, Song Ergou hung up the phone.

"Dad, what’s the matter?" Song Yun looked at Song Ergou and asked.

"The most important one wants to meet you." Song Ergou said with a strange expression.

"Meet me?"

Song Yun looked at Song Ergou in shock.

"Yes, a driver will come to pick you up later. Son, you’re really lucky, in my entire life, I’ve met him privately no more than twenty times!"

"No more than twenty times, that must be a dozen or so." Song Yun asked in surprise.

"Probably, but they were all for business, this time his office director called me directly, it’s likely not business but personal, just remember to be serious."

"Alright, wait at the door." Song Ergou said, "I believe the person picking you up will be here soon!"

"Okay!"

Song Yun nodded, turned, and left Song Ergou’s room.

At the gate of the Song Family residence, Song Yun stood with hands behind his back, while Qingluan stood next to him.

"You just wait for me at home." Song Yun said.

"Hmm." Qingluan nodded.

Soon, a black car came from a distance, slowly stopping in front of Song Yun.

A middle-aged man with glasses got out of the car.

"Hello, Song Yun!"

The man quickly walked over to Song Yun after getting out of the car and shook hands with him.

"Hello." Song Yun said with a smile.

"I’m Li Zhiyi from the office, just call me Xiao Li, I’ll be driving you to the office today." The man said. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Thank you, Brother Li!"

Song Yun said with a big smile, "I don’t know anything, please remind me more to avoid any offense!"

"Haha, no problem, no problem." It seemed the term ’Brother Li’ had a good effect, as Li Zhiyi’s smile became even brighter.

After getting into the car, Li Zhiyi drove Song Yun towards the depths of the red walls.

The important figure’s office is located at Huaiji Hall on the southwestern side of the red walls, which is said to mean the desire to help the world.

Song Yun had never been to this place in his life, and naturally was very curious along the way.

"He often talks about you, Song Yun." Li Zhiyi said.

"Oh, what does he say about me?" Song Yun asked.

"He always says, among the young generation across Shen Zhou, if a ranking must be made, you, Song Yun, would undoubtedly be in the top three." Li Zhiyi said.

"I don’t deserve it, I don’t deserve it." Song Yun quickly said, "In Shen Zhou, there’s no shortage of talented youths, I’m nothing!"

"Haha, Song Yun, you shouldn’t self-deprecate, there must be a reason for saying that." Li Zhiyi said.

"By the way, Brother Li, is there anything taboo when meeting him later? I come from a small place and don’t understand." Song Yun asked.

"Maintain a certain distance, your attitude can be casual, he is a very easygoing person, but don’t be reckless, he doesn’t like to see young people being frivolous." Li Zhiyi said, "But, I think you shouldn’t have to avoid anything, I’ve been with him for many years, and it’s the first time I’ve seen him value a young person so much. Just be yourself, but be low-key!"

"Thank you, Brother Li, I understand." Song Yun said, "Brother Li, have you served him for a long time?"

"Quite a few years." Li Zhiyi said, "I followed him back in the days when he was local!"

"That really is many years." Song Yun said, "It’s not easy!"

"It’s alright!"

Chatting along the way with Li Zhiyi, soon they reached Huaiji Hall.

Huaiji Hall is a building with ancient-style architecture, it looks similar to many buildings in the Forbidden City, but the interior decoration is very grand and modern.

Under Li Zhiyi’s guidance, Song Yun entered Huaiji Hall for the first time in his life.

The important figure’s office is on the second floor.

The first floor is full of office workers; these are the so-called Office 1 staff.

These people are responsible for passing messages to the important figure, their power is quite significant, outside, even a Feudal Governor wouldn’t easily offend them.

Ascending the wooden stairwell, a large wooden door appeared in front of Song Yun.

Li Zhiyi gently knocked on the door.

A voice inside replied, "Come in."

The voice was soft, without a hint of authority.

Li Zhiyi smiled, opened the door, and gestured for Song Yun to enter.

"Aren’t you coming, Brother Li?" Song Yun asked.

Li Zhiyi shook his head, not speaking.

Song Yun nodded, and walked in alone.

This was a very large study, probably about sixty to seventy square meters, both sides were lined with several large bookshelves, and positioned along the red wall was a desk, behind which sat an elderly man with glasses.

The elderly man wasn’t actually that old, about fifty-something, he didn’t possess much of an intimidating aura, only calmness and completeness.

The first feeling Song Yun had was one of harmony.

The man was looking over some things, and once Song Yun entered, he looked up at Song Yun with a smile and said, "Song Yun, you’ve come!"

"Yes..."

Song Yun didn’t know why, seeing the man’s smile, he inexplicably felt a wave of nervousness and instinctively saluted.

"Hmm!"

The man returned Song Yun’s salute, then lowered his hand, saying, "Don’t be nervous, I’m just a sixty-something old man, nothing to be nervous about!"

"Well..." Song Yun awkwardly smiled and said, "You’re the most powerful person in all of Shen Zhou!"

"Hahaha, don’t say that!"

The man stood up, pointed to a sofa on the side, and said, "Have a seat!"

"Thank you." Song Yun respectfully nodded and then sat down beside the sofa.

"Actually, when you came to Beijing last time, I wanted to see you!"

The man said, "But something came up, and I missed the opportunity. This time, when I heard you were here, I thought I had some free time, so I called you over, interrupting your moment with your wife. I’m really sorry!"

"We will have plenty of chances to be together." Song Yun laughed, "I was planning to visit you last time too, but was afraid you were busy and didn’t want to disturb you!"

"We actually don’t live that far from each other!"

The man walked out from behind the desk and sat down beside the sofa next to Song Yun, then said, "The direct distance is just 1723 meters!"

"Oh!"
