Chapter 93 Isn’t Qin Wan’s biological child?
The professional management team was extremely efficient. In just a few days, they had sorted out the complex network of relationships and accumulated problems within the Qin Group.
A female executive in a smart suit and skirt was reporting: "...According to our assessment, the current staff in the marketing department is over 30% redundant, and most of them are...relatives arranged by various departments. Their actual work ability is worrying, so we recommend optimization."
After listening to the report, Gu Manman looked up and ordered:
"A list will be drawn up, and those who meet the job requirements will be retained, and those who do not will be compensated according to regulations and all will be dismissed."
“Also, inform the Human Resources Department that all future recruitments must be conducted through an open process, with professional competence being the only criterion.”
The female executive nodded: "Understood."
She looked at the excessively young girl in front of her with surprise in her eyes, but more of it was admiration.
She originally thought that this was just a wealthy girl who came out of nowhere, but she didn't expect her to act so decisively and with a murderous spirit.
"Sister! You are just like Niu Hulu Manman now! The return of the Qin family's heir: the domineering female CEO falls in love with me..."
Su Yu had been slumped on the sofa, watching Manman work.
She picked up the imported snacks on the table, unpacked them, stuffed one into her mouth, and said vaguely: "You have such an aura now, two meters eighty! Really, you are becoming more and more like that gentleman!"
Yeah?
These ways of dealing with problems
...Indeed, with the shadow of that person.
The man who once pushed her into the abyss, now set up a dragnet around her to protect her.
She could even imagine that if he were sitting in this position, he might solve the problem in a more thunderous and unquestionable way.
It is undeniable that the years she spent with him had a subtle influence on her.
"Hey, seriously, Manman, don't you find it weird?"
"Um?"
"It's that Qin Wan." Su Yu sat cross-legged. "Look, the old lady's will clearly states that it will either be given to your mother Qin Fang or to you. If you can't find it, then all will be donated."
"Qin Wan, she is also the old lady's daughter, right? How come she didn't get any share at all?"
Su Yu frowned, “Logically speaking, even if the old lady favors your mother, she wouldn’t be so cruel to the other daughter? Not giving a penny?”
Gu Manman had thought about this problem a long time ago.
However, all her energy before this was focused on dealing with those eager relatives and stabilizing the company.
Yeah, why?
Qin Wan had been so anxious and sincere since he found her.
In the hospital, she took good care of the old lady.
Even when Uncle Qin and the others were making trouble, he still showed an attitude of protecting her.
But she, as a daughter, was completely excluded from the list of heirs.
This is totally unreasonable.
Gu Manman recalled what Qin Wan had said about the grudge between her mother Qin Fang and her grandmother when they were young, and said that her grandmother had always felt guilty towards her mother.
Is this guilt so deep that he has to completely ignore his other daughter?
Or... is there some hidden story here that she doesn't know about?
"It is very strange."
"We are both daughters, Aunt Qin Wan, why can't you get a penny?"
Gu Manman stared at an ink painting on the distant wall. Her eyes were calm, but her thoughts were racing.
She picked up her phone and dialed a number.
The call was connected quickly.
"Find a way to check Qin Wan's DNA."
Gu Manman hung up the phone and gently put the phone back on the table.
Su Yu came closer: "No way? You suspect...she is not Mrs. Qin's biological daughter?"
"This is the most reasonable explanation I can think of at the moment."

The study room in the Qin residence continues to be decorated as the old lady did when she was alive, and it is calm and heavy.
On the large rosewood desk, there were several piles of documents that Gu Manman needed to review.
It was getting dark outside the window, and only a warm yellow desk lamp was on in the room.
She had just put down her pen and rubbed her swollen temples when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
Qin Wan came in with a bowl of soup and gently placed it on the corner of the table.
"You seem tired these past few days. The kitchen just prepared some bird's nest to nourish you."
She did not leave immediately, but looked around the study room casually, and said with some emotion: "Mom used to be like this too, forgetting the time when she was busy. Now that you have taken over the Qin family, the burden is not light."
Gu Manman picked up the spoon, but did not touch the bowl of bird's nest. She just looked at Qin Wan with no intention of leaving.
"Auntie, do you have something to ask me?"
Qin Wan kept smiling as he sat down on the chair beside him with a calm demeanor.
"It's not a big deal,"
"It's about your marriage."
Gu Manman stopped holding the spoon.
"marriage?"
"Yes," Qin Wan nodded, "Mom has arranged a marriage for the heir of the Qin family. The other party is the Huo family."
The Huo family is also a well-known family in Jiangcheng. They have close business dealings with the Qin family and have a friendship that spans several generations.
The Huo family is mainly engaged in real estate and overseas investment. They have a solid financial foundation and their style of doing things is much more low-key than those upstarts in the circle, but no one dares to underestimate their strength.
Seeing that Gu Manman didn't respond, Qin Wan added, "Especially the eldest grandson of the Huo family, Huo Yunshen, who has been trained as the heir since he was a child. His abilities and methods are top-notch. When Mom was alive... she was very satisfied with him."
"You are now the heir of the Qin family. This marriage was decided by the old lady for the long-term consideration of the Qin family."
Gu Manman leaned back.
She stared at Qin Wan: "How can grandma be so sure that the heir must be a girl? What if I am a boy?"
This question did not seem to stump Qin Wan. She continued to smile and said, "The Huo family has a large population, including sons and daughters. The old lady meant that no matter whether the heir of the Qin family is a boy or a girl, this marriage can be accomplished."
"Think about it, the Qin and Huo families are so closely tied in business, and a marriage is good for everyone. It's a strong alliance, and it will be beneficial to consolidate your position in the Qin family and the future development of the company."
It turned out that there was something else waiting for her.
Qin Wan's words seemed to be considerate of her in every way, but in fact they were pressing her step by step, pushing her onto a track that had already been set.
What benefits does this so-called "strong alliance" bring to Qin Wan?
Did she already know the contents of this will, knew that she, Gu Manman, was the only heir, and also knew about this so-called "marriage that can be held by either man or woman"?
Not long after Qin Wan left, the study door was knocked again.
"Enter."
Sister Qing pushed the door open and came in: "Ms. Gu, the DNA test results are out."
Gu Manman reached out and took the document.
I couldn't wait to tear open the seal and pull out a few pages of paper inside.
His eyes quickly scanned the professional terms and data, finally stopping at the conclusion column.
[…Based on DNA sequence comparison analysis, it is supported that Ms. Qin Wan and Madam Qin are mother-daughter blood relatives…]
[…supporting the existence of a blood relationship between Ms. Gu Manman and Ms. Qin Wan…]
The results are clear and obvious.
Qin Wan is indeed my grandmother’s biological daughter.
She and Qin Wan are indeed related by blood.
Gu Manman tightened her fingers holding the report, and the edge of the paper was slightly deformed.
This result not only failed to resolve the doubts in her mind, but made everything even more confusing.
