Qin Nanxi immediately put on a troubled expression, rubbing her hands together and cautiously probing.

"Brother Xiao, this... moving the production line back involves a lot of issues. I need to have a good talk with the headquarters in the US. What do you think..."

He secretly observed Qin Xiao's expression, his eyes darting around, fearing that the immense wealth that was about to be his would slip away because of this small mishap. That's 20 billion! Even just handling it would be enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

Qin Xiao seemed completely oblivious to his thoughts. He simply walked up to him, reached out, and patted his shoulder heavily. The force was just right, showing both intimacy and the dignity of a CEO, while his tone carried the encouragement and trust of an elder brother.

"No problem, Nanxi, I'll leave this to you."

"Work hard. You have the best business sense among the younger generation of the Qin family. I believe in your abilities." Qin Xiao's voice was gentle and full of expectation. "Whether our Qin family can reach new heights depends on you young people in the future."

"If the project succeeds, you'll definitely get a share of the profits!"

Just as Qin Nanxi was reeling from the sudden "trust" and "promise," feeling like she was the chosen one and overjoyed, Qin Xiao's fingers moved like nimble butterflies, inserting a tiny listening device, barely larger than a grain of rice, into the lining of the back of Qin Nanxi's high-end suit collar at a speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

The whole process was so smooth and natural, it seemed like just an affectionate gesture to encourage a younger person.

He nodded repeatedly, bowing low, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement and fawning.

"Thank you for your trust, Brother Xiao! Thank you, Brother Xiao! Don't worry, I will definitely get it done! I assure you, it will be absolutely foolproof! I'll contact them right now! Immediately! Right now!"

After saying that, he turned around almost impatiently and walked quickly out of the office. His steps were a little unsteady, as if he were walking on clouds, afraid that if he was a second late, this great opportunity would slip away.

Qin Xiao watched his hurried departure until the heavy door was gently closed, shutting out the outside sounds. Only then did the gentleness on his face recede like the tide, and a cold smile appeared on his lips, his eyes as deep as a frozen pool.

He was the only one left in the office; it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Qin Nanxi ran all the way, her heart pounding with excitement. She found a deserted corner of a fire escape, took out her phone, and after confirming that no one was around, she furtively dialed an encrypted number.

The phone rang several times before being answered. He immediately switched to an extremely obsequious tone, his voice lowered as if he were talking about some unspeakable secret.

"Hello? Young Master Ye! It's me, Nanxi! Your loyal little brother, Nanxi!"

"It's done! Young Master Ye! It's done!" His voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"That idiot Qin Xiao really fell for the trap! He really is just a pretty face, all show and no substance!"

"He... he not only invested 10 billion himself, but also foolishly dragged the Tang family into it! A total of 20 billion! 20 billion, Young Master Ye! We're rich!" He seemed to already see mountains of gold and silver beckoning to him.

The voice on the other end of the phone was clearly weak but couldn't hide its excitement, with a hint of hoarseness and fierceness, like a wounded beast growling.

"Ha... Qin Xiao... has ruined my plans time and time again..."

"This time, I will make sure your family is destroyed, your reputation is ruined, and you die without a burial place!"

"Qin Nanxi, well done! Arrange the capital injection immediately and get all of the Qin family's working capital in hand as soon as possible! Be quick!"

Qin Nanxi's smile froze, her tone became somewhat troubled, and her voice lowered.

"Young Master Ye, the funding isn't a problem, but..."

"Qin Xiao said that the old guys on the board of directors insisted on... insisted on building the factory in China, saying it was to respond to the call and avoid risks... and also said that the international situation was complicated..."

"We can't build factories overseas anymore... Will this affect our plans?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, as if they were weighing the pros and cons, before Ye Chen's voice rang out again, carrying an unquestionable commanding tone.

"Hmph, a bunch of old foxes! Forget it!"

"Domestic is fine! It saves us the trouble of transferring!"

"I will send someone who truly knows the business to be in charge of signing the contract and discussing the specifics of setting up the factory. You must treat this person with the highest level of hospitality, understand?"

"Make sure you have all the relevant information ready, and there can be absolutely no mistakes! Otherwise, you know the consequences!"

"Do you understand?"

Qin Nanxi hurriedly responded, and cold sweat almost broke out on her brow.

"Understood! Understood! Young Master Ye, rest assured, I guarantee I'll arrange everything perfectly! I'll make sure that person is completely satisfied!"

Ye Chen seemed to cough twice, his voice sounding weak and tinged with impatience.

"I've suffered a minor injury and need to rest and recuperate for a few days."

"The battery company's people will arrive at the Capital Airport on time in three days. You will be responsible for making the arrangements. Remember, it's the highest level of liaison!"

"beep……"

The call was abruptly ended.

Qin Nanxi held his phone, letting out a long sigh of relief, his face immediately filled with undisguised elation and pride. An expert? Perfect! He was just worried about not knowing this technical skill! Young Master Ye had really thought of everything!

He was completely unaware that every word he said to Ye Chen was transmitted to Qin Xiao's ears through that tiny listening device.

Qin Xiao sat in his office and with a light tap of his finger, forwarded the complete recording of the call he had just made directly to his father, Qin Xiangjun, who was far away at the Qin family's old house.
