Chapter 350 Anyone can say polite words
"It's not like you don't care about this." Qin Muchi scoffed, his eyes full of mockery. "Of everyone here, you're the one who's most worried."
Qin Muchuan's face was grim.
That brainless idiot!
Qin Muchi didn't care what he thought of him at all: "I heard that Jiang Ruan has completed a project, and the project funds will be transferred to the company account after the New Year. Calculating the time, she can also complete another project in a few months. At that time, the shares you hold will all be returned to her."
"That belongs to them." Qin Muchuan was good at hiding his true thoughts when Jiang Ruan was around.
"Anyone can say nice things," Qin Muchi saw through his pretense. "In your heart, do you really think that's what she deserves?"
Qin Muchuan stared at him.
What's wrong with this person?
What's the point of saying these things here?
"The matter of the shares has little to do with me," Qin Muchi said, glancing around the table. "I just want to know if, after Dad passes away, a portion of his inheritance will be given to Qin An."
Old Master Qin's chest heaved with anger.
She never expected her son to say such absurd things, and she just wanted him to die?
"Is Second Uncle so eager to know because he's worried he won't live to see that day?" Jiang Ruan asked.
"How dare you speak like that, little girl?" Qin Muchi was displeased, his eyes filled with anger as he looked at her. "This is the Qin family home, it's not your place to speak."
"You're allowed to talk about your father, but not me?" Jiang Ruan retorted calmly.
Qin Muchi was about to get angry.
Qin Mo, who hadn't spoken until now, finally said, "Second Uncle, that's enough."
Qin Muchi opened his mouth, but ultimately didn't say what he was going to say.
The person you absolutely cannot offend in the whole family is Qin Mo. He holds most of the shares and is very smart. If someone really makes a move against him, he won't be able to handle it.
"Let's eat." Old Master Qin's bad mood warmed up the moment Jiang Ruan spoke, and his gaze fell on Qin Muchi with a sense of oppression. "I don't want to hear what you said today a second time, otherwise you won't get a single penny when I die."
Although Old Master Qin gave away his shares in the Qin Group, he still possesses countless assets.
In addition to thousands of properties, he also holds shares in several investment companies.
All of those combined are quite valuable.
This is why Qin Muchi is so worried.
"You little rascal." Old Master Qin's attitude immediately changed, and his eyes were filled with affection as he looked at her. "Thank you for speaking up for me."
"Just don't get upset and hurt yourself," Jiang Ruan said without adding anything more.
"Seeing you speak up for me, all my anger has vanished." Old Master Qin didn't hold back at all, a smile on his face. "Come and try this, it's our chef's specialty."
"And this too."
"You're so thin, you need to eat more."
"Tell Grandpa what you like to eat, and I'll have them cook it next time you come."
Throughout the meal, Old Master Qin showed all his favoritism to Jiang Ruan. Besides wanting to win her favor, he also wanted to let everyone at the table know that Jiang Ruan had his protection.
Qin Muchuan and Qin Muchi were very unhappy.
The difference is that one didn't show it, while the other showed it very obviously.
After lunch, Jiang Ruan and Qin Mo took Old Master Qin for a walk in the courtyard to digest their food. Qin Muchuan, Qin Muchi, and the others were still at the table. After they walked away, Qin Muchi spoke up: "What did you mean just now?"
Qin Muchuan looked over, looking like he didn't understand what he was saying.
"Don't say things like you want to give shares to Jiang Ruan. Don't I know your personality?" Qin Muchi said bluntly. "You're definitely more anxious than anyone else to see Jiang Ruan complete a project."
Qin Muchuan remained calm: "Why should I be in a hurry?"
Qin Muchi said, "Your branch's shares have to go to Jiang Ruan."
Qin Muchuan: "And then?"
Qin Muchi: "Don't even talk about how many benefits there are to holding shares. Just consider the annual returns from the shares. Are you willing to give them up?"
"I've occupied this place for so many years and enjoyed benefits that didn't belong to me," Qin Muchuan said calmly. "It's only right to return it. What's there to be reluctant about?"
"There's no one else here, no need to pretend like this." Qin Muchi couldn't stand his hypocritical manner.
Qin Muchuan's expression remained calm: "I'm telling the truth."
Qin Muchuan swore.
I hate hypocritical people the most.
“Returning the shares to Jiang Ruan won’t cost me much,” Qin Muchuan said as if it were the truth. “Qin Mo will still be the president of the Qin Group, and I will still be the head of the Qin family. The one who will really suffer is you, who have accomplished nothing.”
Qin Muchi was furious: "Don't forget the relationship between Jiang Ruan and Huo Zhizhou."
Qin Muchuan: "So what?"
"What if he interferes in the affairs of the Qin Group?" Qin Muchi didn't believe he wasn't worried.
“His interference won’t change anything. The election of the company’s CEO is decided by the shareholders’ meeting.” Qin Muchuan said calmly and steadily. “Jiang Ruan has a lot of shares, but the other shareholders’ combined shares are also considerable. They trust Qin Mo more than Huo Zhizhou, an outsider.”
Qin Muchi frowned slightly.
Given the personalities of those shareholders, they genuinely trusted Qin Mo.
Even if he doesn't own any shares, they will most likely still appoint Qin Mo as the CEO of the Qin Group.
Qin Muchuan is the head of the Qin family. After the old man passed away, he likely left behind quite a lot of things. It seems that he is the only one who really has to bear the risk of being eliminated.
Before we knew it.
Qin Muchi fell into Qin Muchuan's verbal trap.
"Do you really think so?" Qin Muchi looked at him with a questioning gaze.
Qin Muchuan didn't say much, but only instructed: "What happened today has already upset Dad. If you want things to be easier in the future, don't say those stupid things again, and don't provoke Jiang Ruan."
After saying that, he left.
These words stirred up the dark side of Qin Muchi's heart.
If things are really as Qin Muchuan said, then he absolutely cannot let Jiang Ruan complete the family mission.
Jiang Ruan was still taking a walk with Grandpa Qin, while Qin Mo had to leave temporarily because his company called him.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh today." Old Master Qin walked slowly with his cane, and sighed slightly. "Ever since the shares were given to them, your second uncle has had this bad temper, and I can't discipline him."
"Why didn't you wait until later to give out the shares?" Jiang Ruan asked.
Normally, elders would hold the shares in their own hands.
After all, shares are like rights. When you keep them, everyone treats you with utmost respect and deference. But once you distribute them, their nature changes.
If the shares hadn't been given, Qin Muchi couldn't have said those words.
"I was seriously ill and bedridden at the time," Old Master Qin sighed. "At the same time, the Qin Group was also facing some internal problems. I didn't know how much longer I could live, so I decided to give away my shares in order to balance everything."
There were too many things to do during that period, and since he already had more than just shares in the Qin Group, he gave them away.
Jiang Ruan raised her eyes.
Upon hearing this, she immediately became suspicious.
During their five years of marriage, Huo Zhizhou told her many stories of family infighting, including those involving the deliberate use of underhanded tactics for shares, power, and status.
Was Mr. Qin's illness an accident?
Has that illness been cured yet?
"There are still some aftereffects, but they are all minor ailments and nothing serious," Old Master Qin said naturally.
Jiang Ruan didn't say much. Although Grandpa Qin was good to her, a large part of it was because of his guilt towards her mother. There were some things that were not appropriate for her to say, and besides, those were just her guesses.
"Don't worry." Old Master Qin thought she was worried and comforted her. "Don't look down on me because of my age. I'm still quite healthy. Apart from that serious illness back then, I haven't had any other serious illnesses over the years."
