Stephen Song's move was actually pretty ruthless.
That so-called course for educating girls is basically just one of those outdated, toxic "female virtue" lessons.
There are quite a few parents who are out of their minds and actually send their daughters there.
But now, this crazy course actually seems perfect for someone as rebellious as Tina Huo.
No need to worry about going overboard—just go all in with the tough love.
Mr. Huo didn't get it at first, but when he did, he realized Stephen Song was helping him discipline his daughter.
Mr. Huo was left speechless, suffering in silence.
Who told his daughter to be so blind and offend someone like Stephen Song?
Who ever said young Mr. Song was gentle and easygoing?
He's actually super scheming, okay?
But at this point, could he really say no?
If he dared to refuse, Stephen Song could easily turn around and leak this to the public.
By then, the Huo Family would be completely finished.
Forget the Mo Consortium—even just the Song Family alone could wipe out the Huo Family.
Mr. Huo gritted his teeth and said, "Young Mr. Song is right. Let's do it your way! I'll pack up and send this troublesome child over right now, so she can get a proper education. When you're satisfied, I'll bring her back!"
Stephen Song finally smiled. "Mr. Huo, you're truly understanding and reasonable—a great businessman. Both Mr. Mo and I appreciate businessmen like you. That's how the economy of N City will keep thriving."
"Yes, yes, of course." Mr. Huo wiped the sweat from his forehead. What else could he say?
Meanwhile, Mrs. Huo kept forcing Tina Huo to apologize to Julia Yu over and over. Julia just waved her hand and said, "We're just here on vacation, not for work, so Mrs. Huo, you don't need to call me Chief Assistant Yu. Just call me Julia."
Mrs. Huo didn't dare—she kept apologizing and calling her Chief Assistant Yu over and over.
Julia Yu caught a glimpse of Stephen Song and Mr. Huo coming back and knew Stephen had already settled things.
She'd already said she'd leave the whole thing to Stephen Song, so she wasn't going to say another word about it.
Stephen Song gave Julia Yu a reassuring look, and Julia finally said to Mrs. Huo and Tina Huo, "Alright, let's just put this behind us. Our vacation time is limited, and I don't want to waste it on this stuff. You three, please go."
Mr. Huo, grateful beyond words, grabbed his wife and daughter and hurried away.
He didn't even bother packing for his daughter—he just stuffed her into the car and sped down the mountain.
Julia Yu and Stephen Song went back to their little cabin and leisurely continued their breakfast.
Julia didn't ask how Stephen handled it, and Stephen didn't brag about his skills either. It was like nothing had happened—they just happily chatted and ate breakfast.
After breakfast, Stephen Song and Julia Yu took the resort's shuttle bus and rode along the scenic paths.
The shuttle bus driver was also the tour guide, introducing the features and scenery of the resort as he drove.
Stephen Song had only just returned to the country, so he couldn't help asking, "Who's the owner of this resort?"
Julia Yu burst out laughing, leaving Stephen Song totally confused.
The shuttle bus driver didn't mind at all, smiling as he said, "Looks like this young lady knows our boss."
Julia Yu nodded, "Yeah, I'm pretty close with her."
After saying that, Julia Yu whispered to Stephen Song, "Didn't I tell you before that the CEO of Yin Enterprises is crazy about his wife? This resort was actually a gift from Charles Yin to Cecilia Gu when their daughter Yina was born a few years ago. So the real owner of this place is Cecilia Gu. It was open to the public for years, but closed for renovations this spring. Now it's all fixed up, ready for the kids to come here for vacation."
The shuttle bus driver grinned, "So you really do know what's up. Yep, this whole mountain belongs to our young madam. She says the kids are all growing up, and it's hard to find somewhere that's both safe and fun, so she had the place redone for future vacations with the little masters and misses."
Julia Yu said, "I checked in with Cecilia before coming, so she let me try it out first and give her feedback about anything that could be improved."
Stephen Song suddenly understood.
"So how did the Huo Family get in here?" Stephen Song was even more curious.
Julia Yu laughed and said, "The Huo Family supplies seafood to the Yin Family all year round. Cecilia is easygoing—if the relationship's decent, she rarely turns people down. Plus, Mr. Huo loves his wife and daughter, so Cecilia wouldn't refuse. But after what happened, I doubt they'll show their faces here again."
Stephen Song finally got it.
No wonder the Mo Consortium's branch office holds its annual meeting here—turns out it's owned by the young madam of Yin Enterprises.
