Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The unexpected death of Qin Hongzhi was a big deal to everyone in Beijing.
As a result, the entire Internet was overwhelmed with comments about the strange death of Qin Hongzhi.
As the Qin family had previously concealed the news of Qin Hongzhi’s illness to the general public, Qin Hongzhi’s death was very sudden and bizarre to them.
And thus, many journalists wrote articles to analyze this matter.
[The sudden death of a rich and powerful person! Was it an internal power struggle or a conspiracy orchestrated by rivals?!]
[Surprise! A billionaire died a strange death! Was it a natural death or a murder? Stay tuned as the police are currently investigating!]
[A billionaire suddenly died. The cause of death is a mystery. Is the murderer the future matriarch of the Zhai family?]
No one really knew what was going on. All these articles were based on groundless accusations and gossip. Despite this, these news articles were incredibly interesting to the netizens.
On the other hand, people who were more informed on the situation were speculating about whether the Zhai family planned to hand Jian Yiling over. In addition, they wondered what kind of situation the future matriarch of the Zhai family was going to face.
Some people speculated that the Zhai family was going to hand Jian Yiling over. On the other hand, other people assumed that a storm was going to brew in Beijing.
Jian Yubo’s assistant was reporting this news to him:
“Boss, this is what has happened so far. Do you think the Zhai family will give up on Miss Yiling?”
“Nope.”
“Then, between the Qin family and the Zhai family… Who do you think will win?”
Jian Yubo’s eyes fell on the Go board in front of him.
His face was cold and detached as always. It was as though the mortal world had nothing to do with him.
“In the past, the Zhai family and the Qin family were on par with each other,” Jian Yubo commented.
“Then, what about right now?” Jian Yubo’s assistant asked.
Jian Yubo did not directly answer his assistant’s question. Instead, he picked up a white stone and placed it down on the Go board. This resulted in a large portion of black stones being consumed.
The outcome of the match had been determined.
Then, Jian Yubo stood up to pick up a jacket on the coat rack.
“Boss, where are you going?” Jian Yubo’s assistant asked him in a puzzled voice.
“To see an old friend.”
Upon hearing this, his assistant froze for a moment. An old friend? What friend was he talking about?
After the pause, Jian Yubo’s assistant suddenly realized something.
Could it be that…

Today, the technology company that Qin Chuan had established during his university days was going to hold a shareholders meeting.
Inside the office, Qin Chuan was wearing a black suit. He had a grave expression on his face. It was as though sadness was plaguing him. If someone did not know better, they would assume that Qin Chuan was mourning his father’s death.
A few of Qin Chuan’s subordinates stood beside him. Similar to Qin Chuan, they all wore dark-colored suits and had solemn expressions on their faces.
Qin Chuan’s attention was fixated on an item on his desk.
This was so much so that his assistant had to call him three times before he finally heard.
Then, Qin Chuan glanced at his watch before he got up and headed towards the meeting room.
The meeting room was already filled with people.
Such a shareholders’ meeting was held every once in a while.
In the past, the company’s largest shareholder, Microsilver Venture Capital, typically sent an agent to act on their behalf.
This had been the case for the past three years.
By the time Qin Chuan entered the meeting room, most of the shareholders had already arrived.
All the shareholders looked at Qin Chuan with anxiety.
Naturally, they knew about what happened between the Qin family and the Zhai family. It was good news for their company that Qin Chuan was now the Head of the Qin family.. However, it was bad news that the Qin family was about to start a war with the Zhai family.
