Ah Wen was rooted to the spot. “Miss?”

Qin Hanqiu had left after answering a phone call.

Qin Xiuchen now held 18% of the shares for the Qin family’s headquarters. The situation there had already stabilized.

Although Qin Ran didn’t say she wanted to return to the Qin family, because of her current status in Beijing, most of the shareholders and senior executives of the headquarters would more or less have to give her face.

Ah Wen didn’t know what happened at the headquarters, but he knew that Fourth Master Qin probably wouldn’t dare make trouble.

“Uncle Ah Wen, my sister...” Seeing Qin Ran leave hurriedly, Qin Ling turned to him.

Feeling left out, he couldn’t help but purse his lips.

“It’s going to be okay.” Ah Wen thought about it and shook his head. “Fourth Master won’t dare to mess around. I’ll go keep an eye on Second Master’s soup. Is it time?”

He hurriedly looked at the time on his watch. “Second Master said I have to turn it off after 20 minutes...”

On the other side.

Qin Ran asked Cheng Mu to drive to the headquarters.

It was close to 7 pm, and the lights in the headquarters building were still on.

Qin Ran knew that ever since Qin Ling’s injury, Qin Hanqiu had been working at the headquarters, but she didn’t know which floor or office he was in.

She stood by the glass door, and it opened automatically.

She swept her eyes past the place and walked directly to the front desk.

Cheng Mu walked with big strides behind her.

Knocking on the front desk, Qin Ran proceeded to ask politely, “Which floor is Second Master Qin on?”

At this time, not many people were in the headquarters, and the front desk was also working overtime. Upon hearing this, the person at the front desk looked up and took a long time to respond after staring at her in shock.

Qin Ran was rather famous in the Qin family.

“The 19th floor,” she finally stuttered.

“Thank you.” Qin Ran nodded and directly walked to the elevator.

Cheng Mu had already pressed the button, so the elevator door happened to open by the time Qin Ran walked over. She walked in and waited for the elevator door to close. Through the crack of the door, her face was visibly indifferent.

Although Qin Ran was unwilling to spend time in mutual deception, it didn’t mean she didn’t understand it.

Cheng Juan’s identity had been revealed in Beijing, and she had also suffered some setbacks in the Research Institute. Elder Xu and Cheng Juan had both asked about Qin Hanqiu, and it seemed like there might be some problems.

After all...

Trouble was more prevalent than bliss.

As long as the Qin Corporation didn’t touch Qin Ran’s bottom line, she wouldn’t poke her nose into it. After all, such a prestigious family needed its own charter

Other than the time she touched the 18% shares because of Qin Ling’s injury, she hadn’t interfered in any other affairs.

But this time was different.

“Ding—”

The elevator door opened.

Qin Ran looked up.

The 19th floor was circular. In the middle was a service desk, and most of the office lights were turned off.

She walked directly to the largest office on the floor.

...

In the office, Qin Hanqiu and Butler Qin sat solemnly at the conference table along with many others.

Qin Hanqiu’s team, Fourth Master Qin’s team, Minister Qin, and the others were all present.

Ever since Qin Ran transferred the shares to Qin Xiuchen, Qin Hanqiu had begun participating in the company’s projects.

This time, it was a joint venture for the development of a large-scale starter engine.

After the Qin Corporation won the bid, Qin Hanqiu and Fourth Master Qin both had a share of dividends. Although they were both at odds, they still cooperated since the matter involved the Qin Corporation’s overall interests.

But they didn’t expect Fourth Master Qin to change his mind all of a sudden.

He wanted to take his people out of this joint venture case.

“Fourth Master Qin, are you kidding?” Butler Qin looked at the young woman sitting beside him, and his eyes sank. Ever since Cheng Juan’s affairs came out, he knew that Fourth Master Qin wouldn’t be on their side. “You withdrew your team from the joint venture case. It’ll hurt not just the Qin Corporation’s interests, but also its fundamental credibility. What are you thinking?”

“No.” Fourth Master Qin smiled slightly and glanced at Butler Qin and Qin Hanqiu. “I have a new joint venture case with Miss Leng. It’s a large-scale network security system. As for the engine development, this part was signed by Second Bro, and you’ll naturally be responsible for it.”

Fourth Master Qin smiled very elegantly and continued, “Of course, I remember that you’ve invested 500 million yuan, right? Do you still have enough funds? If not, you can exchange 18% of your shares with me. I won’t take advantage of you and will give you the market rate.”

“You!” Once serious, Qin Hanqiu learned rather quickly and was now knowledgeable about the company’s affairs.

He tightened his grip around the document.

The blue veins on the back of his hand popped up, and his usually honest expression looked like a beast waiting to pounce.

Fourth Master Qin had already calmed down by this time. Cheng Juan’s supporters had quietened in Beijing after news of him not being a real Cheng family member was revealed.

“Second Bro, have you thought about it?” Fourth Master Qin smiled slightly.

“You want me to sell the shares to you? Impossible!” Qin Hanqiu shook his head.

Nodding, Fourth Master Qin calmly took a sip of tea. “Okay, we shall see if anyone is willing to work with you on this joint venture case. Butler Qin, do you know how difficult it is to find a team in such a short time?”

With an investment of more than 500 million yuan, how could anyone possibly do charity to this extent?

Even if Qin Ran was close to Cheng Wenru, how could a deep friendship possibly be worth such a splurge?

Both Qin Hanqiu and Butler Qin remained silent, especially Qin Hanqiu, whose dark pupils were shining brightly under the light above his head.

His brain was on overdrive.

The worst consequence of borrowing from a bank was that the joint venture case would fail and Qin Xiuchen would have to auction his 18% shares.

He was now weighing the pros and cons.

Qin Hanqiu was still deep in thought.

At this moment, the door opened.

The sound alarmed everyone inside the office.

Qin Hanqiu was stunned to see Qin Ran. “Ran Ran, why are you here?”

Qin Ran’s name was too well-known in the Qin family. Following his voice, everyone looked in the direction of the door.

They exchanged glances.

Sitting beside Fourth Master Qin, Leng Peishan also glanced at Qin Ran. Her eyes fell on Cheng Mu, who was behind her, and her expression changed.

She had already known of Cheng Mu’s existence.

At first, she hadn’t been bothered and had thought he was just Qin Ran’s boyfriend. Who knew that the subsequent incidents would be beyond her expectations.

Qin Ran directly walked to Qin Hanqiu’s side and sat down in an empty seat.

She crossed her legs and glanced past everyone in the office with her chin lifted. “It’s okay. Continue, I’m just listening.”
