Um...wait a minute!"
Just as Qin Shouye and the others were about to return to the hotel, Qin Songyu, who hadn't said a word the whole time, said, "I have some things to take care of, so I won't go back with you."
Qin Songbai: "What is it?"
Qin Songyu: "I've never seen particularly heavy snow before. I plan to go to Xuexiang to take a look."
Qin Songbai: "What's so interesting about that..."
Qin Shouye: "Okay! Go ahead! Be careful!"
Qin Songyu is the clan chief's granddaughter, so we can't interfere too much. It's normal for someone in their twenties to go out and have some fun for a few days.
Qin Songyu: "Okay!"
Qin Shouye: "Let's go!" He led Qin Songbai and the others back to the hotel quickly, without daring to delay at all!
Well, how should I put it!
They all harbored the hope of continuing to owe money when they returned, and if so, they would definitely try to exploit them one last time before leaving.
...
Qin Songyu watched Qin Shouye and the others leave with a flicker in his eyes. Instead of heading to the station for Xuexiang, he turned back to the North Gate and said to the Black Dragon personnel, "I have something to report to your Chairman Qin about the conspiracy within the Qin Family Manor."
.....
Black Dragon Headquarters.
Qin Jiang, Zhu Zheng, and Si Jiu were still sitting there in a triangular formation, with Qin Songyu standing opposite them.
Snap!
Zhu Zhengyi closed his folding fan: "You said you have something important to report?"
Qin Songyu: "Yes!"
She looked at Qin Jiang and said, "There were too many people around, so I couldn't say anything. But you absolutely must not agree to their demands. Their goal is not just to get some shares, but to bring your Heilong Group to the West Market so they can bleed the Heilong Group dry!"
"They might even use the power of your family to turn your Black Dragon Group into family property, and giving you benefits is nothing more than a way to acknowledge your ancestors."
"If you agree, you'll fall into their trap..."
"That group of people is very shady and has a lot of influence in the West Market. Sometimes my dad gets dragged into their schemes..."
"Because it was a decision made by the clan elders, even though my grandfather was the clan head, he couldn't veto it and could only agree to their coming, but in my heart, my grandfather didn't approve of this..."
.....
interesting!
Qin Jiang: "Why are you telling me all this?"
Qin Songyu: "I can tell you're a remarkable person. It's not easy for you to have achieved what you have today, starting from nothing. I don't want you to be taken advantage of by them like this! Besides, we all share the same surname, Qin! We're all family! We should help each other instead of holding grudges against each other."
"Don't worry..."
"Even if you don't agree to their demands, I will go back and discuss it with my father and grandfather. They will ask them to push for your branch to be recognized as an ancestor. Although it's impossible to make you an independent branch, or to make you a clan elder or to bury you in the ancestral grave, you can first be recognized as an ancestor and be included in the family genealogy. We can work on that later."
"With your abilities, the Qin family will look up to you in the future, and the entire Qin family will elevate you to a new level."
This moment:
Qin Songyu told Qin Jiang the situation without reservation and with utmost sincerity, advising him never to fall into the trap of Qin Family Village.
Qin Jiang's expression didn't change much; he simply looked at Qin Songyu and said, "Is that all you wanted to say..."
Qin Songyu: "Yes! That's all..."
Qin Jiang: "Then you can leave..."
Qin Songyu was a little confused: "Ah..."
I poured my heart out to you and you didn't react at all, and you just let me go like that? Even if you're not incredibly grateful, you should at least show me some respect! Let me sit down and explain.
She looked at Qin Jiang, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
Qin Jiang: "Is there anything else?"
Qin Songyu: "Nothing much? I just wanted to warn you about their trap... I'll try to get the rest for you when I get back..."
Qin Jiang: "Then you can leave..."
Qin Songyu: "...."
She wanted to say something more, but Qin Jiang had already leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, clearly not wanting to talk to her. She could only say, "Then I'll go first. I'll let you know as soon as I get back if there's any important news."
Qin Jiang remained silent.
Seeing that Zhu was about to call someone in, Qin Songyu could only turn around and leave with a belly full of doubts.
Wait until they leave.
.....
49: "This little girl is better than those people from before."
Hear this.
Qin Jiang and Zhu Zheng both laughed.
49: "What are you laughing at, Brother Jiang? Is there something else going on? This girl is acting strangely too?"
Qin Jiang: "Of course something's wrong!"
49: "Something's not right!"
Zhu Zheng: "Tell me: Was their purpose for coming here pre-arranged, or did they decide to come here on the spot?"
49: "It must have been arranged in advance. Didn't they just say that the clan decided on it in a meeting? And the person who came is obviously not someone who can make the final decision. No one would bring out the highest-ranking person right away in negotiations, because if the talks break down, there will be no room for maneuver. Their demanding first is also to leave room for negotiation later. I guess they will arrange for a higher-level person to contact Brother Jiang after they go back."
Zhu Zheng looked at Si Jiu and smiled meaningfully.
To outsiders, Sijiu might just be the fist and thug of the Black Dragon Group, with no connection to wisdom.
But only Qin Jiang and Zhu Zheng knew that Si Jiu was not stupid! In fact, he was smarter than many people.
He can understand many things at a glance!
It can be described as:
He was wise in appearance but appeared foolish!
Of course, they couldn't compare to top-tier intelligent people like Qin Jiang and Zhu Zheng, which is why they didn't understand the specific situation.
Zhu Zheng: "Since it was arranged in advance, meaning she knew the purpose of her trip beforehand, why is she only telling us this now...?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jiu began to realize what was happening.
Yes! Since the other party already knew about the plan for this trip, why didn't she say so earlier? Why did she only come to tell Qin Jiang after those people failed to extort benefits from him?
This...is something wrong!
Zhu Zheng: "She knew everything but chose to say it now: that means she premeditated it. Believe me, if Brother Jiang had been even a little nicer, she probably wouldn't have come to say all this, and even if she did, she wouldn't have said it so thoroughly..."
49: "You mean..."
Qin Jiang: "Bet on both sides!"
49: "Should we cooperate?"
Qin Jiang: "Isn't this a coordinated effort? Qin Shouye and his men are definitely after the Black Dragon Group. If I'm not mistaken, they have no idea Qin Songyu will be back. You can think of it this way: Qin Family Village is Qin Family Village, and the Qin Clan Chief is the Qin Clan Chief! Right now, the Qin Clan Chief is betting on both sides and playing his cards right! If we agree to let Qin Songyu come along, everything will be fine: let them embezzle the Black Dragon Group's profits. If we refuse, then let Qin Songyu use the opportunity of leaking information to us to curry favor with us."
"That way, no matter what we choose, they won't lose out! It's just a matter of whether they make a bigger profit or a smaller one."
