Chapter 693 I always keep my word
Seeing that Qin Ce was silent, Tan Yongye assumed that he was considering his words.
He continued, "President Qin, I know you came to Beijing specifically for the research and development of XR technology. S&C Group attaches great importance to this project. On the other hand, digital surveillance has just gotten on track. At this critical juncture, this incident is very bad for both you and Yuwen."
Tan Yongye smiled and said, "Of course, I don't mean that you and Yuwen should get married right away. After all, you and Yuwen have only met two or three times and you don't know each other well. Although Yuwen has been pampered by me since she was a child, she is not spoiled at all and does not have the temperament of a young lady."
“Now that the rumors are already circulating, even if we suppress all the gossip, the resulting turmoil will still affect you and Yuwen. So what I’m suggesting is that you take this opportunity to get to know each other better. Our two families are well-matched, and if we can become family because of this, it would be a wonderful coincidence.”
Tan Yongye spoke with utmost seriousness, his words revealing his consideration for Tan Yuwen and Qin Ce.
However, Qin Ce did not express his opinion even after Tan Yongye finished speaking.
Just as Tan Yongye was pondering how to get Qin Ce to agree,
Qin Ce finally spoke, "So, Chairman Tan means that I have to take responsibility for this?"
Tan Yongye's expression changed slightly, and he immediately denied it, "No, no, President Qin misunderstood me."
He sighed and said helplessly, "Yuwen is my only daughter. As her father, I can't just not think about her. President Qin, this matter is not a big deal, but it's not insignificant either. If we let it continue like this, let alone whether Yuwen can withstand the pressure, President Qin, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to your family."
Qin Ce's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice deepened, "Chairman Tan has considered things quite comprehensively, even taking into account my family's attitude."
Tan Yongye felt a strange sense of dread, but for Tan Yuwen's sake, he forced himself to remain calm. "President Qin, although I am a businessman, I am also a father. No one wants their child to encounter such a thing. Moreover, for children from families like ours, every word and action affects the entire family. Sometimes, just saying something insignificant can implicate everyone."
"I think President Qin's parents probably didn't want this to happen either. After all, this kind of thing is not something that can be discussed openly. You younger people may not care, but we are old and deal with many people every day. If we are gossiped about, we can't take it."
Han Yan, who was listening to this at the door, couldn't help but scoff. This old man actually sounded quite convincing.
If he truly cared about Tan Yuwei, he should have immediately thought about how to handle the situation.
Tan Yuwen's intentions are all out in the open. After something like this happened, the father and daughter are probably secretly delighted.
Are they treating Qin Ce like a fool by putting on this forced and helpless act?
Just as Han Yan figured that Qin Ce's patience had been worn down by Tan Yongye's words, and he didn't want to see him continue acting, he prepared to ask Qin Ce to leave.
Han Yan suddenly heard Qin Ce say, "Chairman Tan is right. What parent doesn't worry about their child? Don't worry, I will give an explanation to the outside world about this matter, and of course, I will also give an explanation to Miss Tan."
Upon hearing this, Tan Yongye was overwhelmed with excitement. He asked incredulously, "Is what President Qin said true?"
Qin Ce chuckled, "I always keep my word."
"Alright, alright, I'm relieved to hear Mr. Qin say that. I'll entrust Yuwen to you then. Of course, if Yuwen does anything wrong, just tell me directly and I'll keep an eye on her."
Han Yan was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment.
What's going on with Qin Ce?
Judging from his tone, he couldn't tell whether he was saying it on purpose for Tan Yongye to hear, or whether he really had that idea.
"Mr. Qin, there's no need to see me off."
Take care.
Tan Yongye emerged from the reception room with a smug look on his face and unexpectedly bumped into Han Yan.
He was in a good mood, and his smile was impossible to hide. When he saw Han Yan, he immediately greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Han! It's been a few days, and you've become even more handsome and dashing!"
Han Yan forced a smile and replied perfunctorily, "Chairman Tan, you're too kind."
As soon as Tan Yongye left, Han Yan couldn't wait to go into the reception room.
Qin Ce stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly gazing at the distant scenery.
"What's going on? What's this all about?"
"What's wrong?"
Han Yan said, "I heard everything at the door just now."
He didn't understand. Qin Ce told him to keep the news from Yucheng under control no matter what, but he himself hadn't even resolved his previous issues yet. It was as if he wanted to add more firewood to the fire because he thought it wasn't burning bright enough.
"What are you planning to do? Don't tell me you're really thinking of taking a second wife?"
Qin Ce said, "This joke isn't funny."
Han Yan said helplessly, "I don't want to joke, but don't you have to let me know what you're planning to do? Don't say I didn't warn you, your affair with Tan Yuwen can't be kept secret anymore. Even if I use all my connections, it's useless. I've tried my best to stop things in Yucheng, but nothing stays hidden forever. She'll find out about this sooner or later."
"Yes, I know." Qin Ce's gaze was deep. "You continue your investigation. You don't need to worry about me. This farce should be over in two or three days at most."
Upon hearing this, Han Yan immediately understood what trick he was planning.
Although he didn't know exactly what Qin Ce was going to do, he had a knack for things that rarely failed.
Han Yan simply stopped asking and let Qin Ce do as he pleased.
Anyway, this guy never lets anyone interfere with his decisions.
The Tan family.
Upon hearing the news Tan Yongye brought back, Tan Yuwen immediately stood up from the sofa, her face filled with disbelief. "Dad, is what you're saying true?"
Tan Yongye said, "Of course it's true. When has your father ever lied to you? Besides, these words were said by Qin Ce, not by anyone else. Even if you don't believe others, you have to believe Qin Ce. Do you think he's the kind of person who goes back on his word?"
"I...I..."
Tan Yuwen still couldn't believe it. She had already tested Qin Ce's attitude last time, and he clearly cared a lot about this matter.
How could Tan Yongye's few words have changed his mind in just one day?
Tan Yongye said, "Yuwen, now that he has said this, whether it is true or not, it is a very valuable opportunity for you. No matter what, you must hold onto Qin Ce's heart this time."
