Dawn arrived quickly on the second day.

Bian Qin, as the heir to the Carter family business, used to not want to inherit the family business, but things are different now.

Looking at Grandpa's full head of white hair.

He knew that no matter how hard he tried on his own, he couldn't prove anything and would only push his family further away.

so.

During this period, besides sorting out the copyright issues for Qu Jian'er, he was also learning how to manage the company.

He knew absolutely nothing about mechs.

But he knows how to manage.

Although he faced opposition from many shareholders on his way to becoming president, whenever he considered stepping down, his grandfather would always bend over and slump his shoulders to carry him.

An elderly man who should be enjoying his retirement is still standing on the front line.

This deeply moved Bian Qin.

If he had tried a little harder.

Grandpa doesn't need to work so hard.

If he improves a little more.

Grandpa wouldn't have to suffer like this.

And this morning.

He continued to encourage himself in this way.

However, he was so focused on clenching his fist in self-encouragement that he once again failed to see the triumphant smile on the face of the old Carter family patriarch.

The old patriarch Carter cleared his throat and said, "Times are progressing, and the mechs we are researching must also progress."

He smiled as he watched his grandson, who was becoming increasingly capable of managing things, and a sense of satisfaction welled up inside him.

It's no wonder he took advantage of Bian Qin's filial piety.

If he doesn't do that.

After he passes away, the Carter family will surely be divided up, and the biggest pack of wolves will be right beside them.

The Carter family has no direct descendants.

Those collateral branches inevitably began to stir.

He was initially pleased, since they were all members of the Carter family, but when Qu Jian'er told him that it was difficult to guard against a thief within one's own family, he admitted that he couldn't contain his anger.

Having worked in the business world for many years, he naturally understood Qu Jian'er's underlying meaning: the Carter family's decline to the point of its direct line's decline was entirely due to the machinations of the Carter family's collateral branches.

He wished he could die with these wolves, leaving them with nothing in the end.

But he couldn't.

He had to stand up for Bian Qin.

Today is the day he settles accounts with the Carter family.

If he were to judge others by his own petty standards and misunderstand the Carter family's collateral descendants, he would naturally apologize.

Conversely, if the Carter family's collateral branches have harbored malicious intentions for a long time, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

This soup.

He won't leave any of the profits for anyone else.

Not only that, but also that it remains.

He's going to throw the dishes and make sure no one gets away with it.

A fleeting glint of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the old Carter family patriarch, a cold indifference born of a businessman's prioritization of profit over parting.

While organizing the documents, Bian Qin nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. Master Zhang has found a way to make the new emblem card and the mecha achieve a compatibility of 83%."

He hasn't had a moment's rest these past few days; he's used every method he can to solidify his position as CEO.

Although Master Zhang is a member of the Federation, he has a passionate desire to study mechs. Therefore, because of Master Zhang's strength, even though the other party has some minor issues with his foundation, he is still happy to provide the other party with a platform to conduct research.

then.

They hit it off immediately.

A deal has been reached.

They could be considered friends despite their age difference.

He never expected this.

This meeting, ostensibly a formality but actually a power-handing-off session, had barely begun when he was caught off guard by Master Zhang's betrayal.

Bian Qin tried hard to control his anger, gripping the armrests of the chair and table tightly: "Master Zhang, what do you mean by taking the research I invested in and then handing it over to someone else?"

He felt very uncomfortable watching Master Zhang's eyes dart left and right. He realized that Master Zhang had been too naive, mistaking a relationship based on self-interest for one based on genuine feelings.

As a result, the formal employment contract was not successfully signed due to Master Zhang's repeated refusals.

At first, he assumed that the other party was dissatisfied with the new contract and wanted to seek greater benefits for themselves.

Seeing that Master Zhang's internship contract had not yet expired, he was in no hurry to renew it as a formal contract.

Instead, they were thinking of drafting another contract, one that would satisfy both of them.

Who knew that this would give the other party an opportunity to exploit a loophole, catching him off guard.

They handed over their research findings to others.

This feeling of frustration and suffocation was hard for Bian Qin to accept. He pursed his lips and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar people sitting there.

Is this the silent war within the wealthy families?

Master Zhang opened his mouth.

The rings of a blue-ringed octopus were faintly visible on his face.

Master Zhang thought for a moment, and finally explained, "Mr. Carter Polo offered a higher price... In comparison, his research lab is more suitable for me now. Both are Carter family research labs, so there's no need to be so clear about the distinction."

What he omitted was, of course, his salary.

He simply doesn't lack money.

He left Bian Qin and sought another place simply because he felt that the young Bian Qin was far more reliable than Carter Polo, who already had his own power.

It's good to have a big tree to lean on for shade.

This is a truth that has existed since ancient times.

He simply sided with Carter Polo in this power struggle between Bian Qin and Carter Polo.

Carter Polo smiled and dodged the question: "Xiao Qin, you're still young and can't understand how hard it is to support a family. If you don't give Master Zhang a proper contract, you can't blame him for finding another way."

Bian Qin remained silent.

He didn't blame Master Zhang for seeking better opportunities elsewhere.

But the person in front of me also took the research with him.

This was his first step in establishing himself in the Carter family, but now it has been completely ruined.

There was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

At this moment, he seemed to have matured somewhat, and truly understood the ruthless principle of putting profit first.
