Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 530: Shock

Minister Qin stopped and glanced at it. “Let me see.”

He knew that Butler Qin normally didn’t touch such contracts.

He leaned over to take a look.

The contract had only three pages.

Butler Qin had already turned to the last page, where there was a bold signature with an official seal.

This kind of signature official seal told Butler Qin nothing.

However, Minister Qin was immediately shocked. “This…”

“You recognize it?” Butler Qin was old and didn’t know much about the engineering world. However, judging by Minister Qin’s reaction, he knew it wasn’t simple.

But Minister Qin neither spoke nor left the office. Instead, he directly walked to Qin Hanqiu’s computer and excitedly opened the internal forum of the Yunguang Consortium.

He clicked on a link on the page.

This forum was more professional and was naturally incomparable to social softwares like Weibo.

But Butler Qin still saw that the page had 39,000 fans.

He scrolled down further and was taken aback to see the ID written in English letters—

Poppy.

“This is someone from the Yunguang Consortium?” Butler Qin was in awe.

Shaking his head, Minister Qin remained silent. He clicked on a screenshot from a series of Internet links, zoomed in, and compared the signature to the paper. He couldn’t help but sink down onto the chair.

Holding the contract tightly in his hand, his eyes trembled, and the veins on his hand popped up.

“I’m going to find Miss Qin.” Minister Qin leaped up and went directly to find Qin Ran.

He arrived at the lounge to find that both Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ran had already left.

Butler Qin followed Minister Qin anxiously. “Minister Qin, tell me, what exactly did Miss Qin give me?”

What made him so shaken?

“Something that even the Yunguang Consortium can’t think of getting.” Minister Qin turned around, his fingers trembling. He tried his best to keep his turbulent heart steady, and his eyes shone brightly. “Butler Qin, we won’t need to cancel our press conference!”

…

Downstairs, Qin Hanqiu walked with Qin Ran.

They were still talking about Qin Ling.

The people they passed by all greeted them respectfully.

“Eldest Lady!”

“Second Master!”

Only the insiders knew about Qin Ran’s feat in the successor test. Since the higher-ups, including Minister Qin and Fourth Master Qin, were all respectful to Qin Ran, the staff at the bottom rungs naturally wised up and greeted her with vigor.

The ordinary staff didn’t even know about the affairs of the four major families despite it being particularly blown up, let alone internal affairs.

They made way for them immediately.

Ning Qing, who had come to see Fourth Master Qin with Qin Yu, was stopped by the security officer.

“Make way, Second Master and Eldest Lady are coming.”

Blocked off like the rest of the people, Ning Qing and Qin Yu could only watch as Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ran came out. Qin Hanqiu was wearing a black suit, not as simple and honest as before, but rigorous and rather imposing instead.

Especially Qin Ran…

In the past six months or so, Ning Qing had seen Qin Ran’s news more than once on TV. This was the first time she saw her in real life in a long time.

This time, she felt even more clearly that both Qin Ran and Qin Hanqiu had become completely different from what she had known before…

“What’s there to see? They’re only standing tall because of the Cheng family’s Crown Prince.” Qin Yu stood aside with gloomy eyes. “Fourth Master Qin said that this time… If Dad doesn’t cooperate, they won’t even be able to hold a press conference. You can go find Qin Ran if you so badly want to.”

Now that Cheng Juan had fallen, Qin Hanqiu naturally couldn’t persist much longer. She wanted to see how long Qin Ran could continue pretending.

The security officer waited for Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ran to leave before allowing the others to enter. Qin Yu pursed her lips and glanced at the black car driving away before going in to look for Fourth Master Qin.

Currently, in his office on the 20th floor, Fourth Master Qin was listening to his subordinate report on Qin Hanqiu’s matters. He was rather surprised and raised an eyebrow. “They’re actually carrying on with the conference?”

At this time, without allocation from the bank loan, they couldn’t continue with the project. Weren’t they just going to be embarrassed in the press conference?

Xu Yunhao, who had just come up from the 19th floor, smirked. “Maybe they want to struggle for their last breath.”

Fourth Master Qin felt something was amiss. Butler Qin and Minister Qin weren’t dumb. He thought about it and decided to ask Ouyang Wei. “Miss Ouyang, are you sure that the Xu and Cheng families won’t interfere?”

“Don’t worry, I’m keeping an eye on them. The Cheng family is in a mess now. The Xu family won’t interfere, either.” Ouyang Wei was firm.

Feeling relieved, Fourth Master Qin sighed in relief. As long as the Xu and Cheng families didn’t interfere, things would be easy to settle. “Miss Ouyang, I’ve already completed everything on my end. Qin Hanqiu and the others won’t be able to persist much longer.”

After hanging up, he reached out to knock on the table, and then looked up at his confidant. “Qin Hanqiu said their press conference would be next Wednesday, right?”

The subordinate immediately knew what he was thinking.

He paused for a moment. “Fourth Master, do you want to push our press conference forward?”

“Yes. They’re refusing to give up until all hope is gone. Since they’re holding their press conference at Youshang Empire Hotel, let’s do it in the hall beside theirs.” Fourth Master Qin was nonchalant.

Qin Hanqiu would become the laughing stock of the industry.

The industry was like a battlefield, and the people in the circle were all extensively experienced. At this time, many people had the same idea as Fourth Master Qin and were all coveting Qin Hanqiu’s shares.

Outside.

Xu Yunhao led a group of people into Fourth Master Qin’s team.

“Leader Xu.” The members glanced at Fourth Master Qin’s office and hesitantly asked, “Are we really leaving Second Master’s team just like this…”

“Because I know the inside story.” Xu Yunhao looked at everyone and lowered his voice. “Do you know what project Fourth Master has in his hands?”

“What?”

“A cooperation case with the Yunguang Consortium,” Xu Yunhao whispered. “Miss Leng is the Yunguang Consortium’s salesperson…”

Thus, Fourth Master Qin’s project was of much greater importance than Qin Hanqiu’s, who couldn’t even get the funds. It was needless to think about who was more important now.
