Chapter 899 Completely Lost Face
Qin Ce said sarcastically, "You asked her for advice? You think she's very experienced?"
"No, no, I was just chatting with my sister-in-law for a bit."
"Looking for advice? I have a few good ideas here that I can share with you. Sit down and listen."
Qiao Xing chuckled to himself.
Qin Yi sensed the malice his older brother was directed at him, and he knew without even thinking what Qin Ce would say to him.
That would definitely be even more infuriating and psychologically damaging than what Grandpa Qin and Qiao Xing did.
Qin Yi had already guessed where his brother's targeting of him came from.
She must have been jealous because she saw him chatting with Qiao Xing.
Qin Yi, being a shrewd person, decided to make a quick getaway so as not to disturb the couple's time together.
"Um, brother, sister-in-law, I won't disturb your rest any longer. I'll be going now. Goodnight!"
Qiao Xing was amused by Qin Yi, and she said to Qin Ce, "Why are you teasing him for no reason?"
Qin Ce said casually, "He just has no sense of right from wrong."
Qiao Xing had almost finished packing her things, and Qin Ce took off his coat and was about to take a shower.
Qiao Xing asked him, "Does the Qin family know that Grandpa is going to the capital?"
Qin Ce nodded. "Mm."
Actually, the reason Qiao Xing returned to Beijing and stayed at the Qin family's house this time was not only because he felt that buying a house was too troublesome, but also partly because of Grandpa Qin.
Although Grandpa Qin did not know the true purpose of his return to the capital, when he learned that it was going to start a new chapter in the capital, he hoped that he, Qin Ce, and Qiao Xing could all live in the Qin family.
He wanted to take this opportunity to ease the tension between Qin Liang and Qin Ce.
Grandpa Qin felt that the key to getting this done lay with Qiao Xing.
Although Qin Ce had a bad attitude towards Qin Liang, Qiao Xing was by his side and could persuade him to some extent.
Qin Ce doesn't listen to others, but he will definitely listen to Qiao Xing's opinions.
As for Qin Liang, apart from being angry that Qin Ce didn't respect him as his father, there were no other irreconcilable conflicts.
Furthermore, now that Qiao Xing has a child with the Qin family, Qin Liang is thinking about his grandson and certainly doesn't want his relationship with Qin Ce to continue like this.
But these were just Grandpa Qin's own thoughts.
He didn't tell Qiao Xing and Qin Ce, but only told them that since they were going back, they should stay at the Qin family's house, otherwise outsiders would have nothing to see and laugh at them.
Qiao Xing was worried that after returning home, Qin Ce and Qin Liang would argue again like before, which would make Grandpa Qin feel bad.
So she reminded Qin Ce, "This time we're going to the capital to get Grandpa treatment, so no matter what your father says to you, you must remember not to argue in front of Grandpa, otherwise he'll feel bad seeing it."
She knew Qin Ce's temper; he generally wouldn't do anything out of line.
However, she had also witnessed Qin Liang's temper. He never said anything nice to Qin Ce. If Qin Ce lost control and the two started arguing, it would be Grandpa Qin who would suffer in the end.
Qin Ce didn't take it to heart and simply replied with a casual "Mm".
He paused for a moment and said, "He's in a precarious situation himself lately, so I doubt he'll be paying attention to me."
Qiao Xing asked doubtfully, "Why would you say that?"
Qin Ce snorted, "Qin Liang was unwell a while ago and stayed in the hospital for a few days. With Qin Yi away, there was no one to keep an eye on the Qin family business, so my stepmother discussed with Qin Liang about letting her son, Qin Ji, go to the company to gain experience."
"Then what?"
"Then her precious son lived up to expectations and messed up a big project on the first day, making a mess of the company. The shareholders called Qin Liang, and Qin Liang was so angry that he stayed in the hospital for a few more days."
After hearing this, Qiao Xing felt it was surreal. "I remember Qin Ji studied financial management, how did it turn out like this?"
Qin Ce scoffed, "Managing a company requires experience, not just academic qualifications. Wang Yu is very confident in his son, but Qin Ji is not familiar with the Qin family business. How can you expect to avoid problems if you force him to grow too quickly?"
Qiao Xing never expected that such a thing would happen to the Qin family, no wonder Qin Liang was in a hurry to get Qin Yi married.
Qin Ce, the most promising member of the Qin family, is now practically unrelated to the Qin family.
Qin Yi didn't want to get involved in managing the company.
Originally, I wanted to place my hopes on Qin Ji, but unfortunately, Qin Ji didn't live up to my expectations.
From Qin Liang's perspective, it seems he really had a tough time.
Qiao Xing suddenly felt a little worried, wondering if staying at the Qin family's house this time was the right choice.
Will I get caught up in the Qin family's troubles again, just like before?
Meanwhile, at the Qin family's residence in another city.
Qin Liang's angry voice came from the study.
"You don't need to say any of this to me. I've already said it: you must not interfere in or ask about anything related to the company from now on!"
"Dad, what happened last time was an accident. You have to believe me. I promise it won't happen again. Please give me another chance, okay?"
"Opportunities come at a price? What mountains of gold and silver do you think the Qin family has? How much money do you think you have to keep making mistakes like this?" Qin Liang said angrily.
Qin Ji was scolded harshly, and although he was unhappy, he could only suppress his dissatisfaction in order to regain his chance at the Qin family business.
"Dad, I really want to work for the Qin family. Why won't you believe me? I admit I was careless in the last project, which caused the company losses. But in business, there's no such thing as a guaranteed win. It's normal to encounter setbacks. You can't lose faith in me completely because of this!"
"Shut up!" Qin Liang angrily threw the water glass next to him on the ground. "You still have the nerve to talk back?"
"I……"
“You dare say I didn’t give you a chance? Since the beginning of this year, I’ve had you involved in all sorts of projects at the Qin family, big and small. I’ve had you start from the bottom to gain experience, all for the sake of properly training you.”
"But what about you? Tell me, in all this time, has there ever been anything you've done that satisfied me? I know you're young and inexperienced, so you're bound to make mistakes. That's why I always thought that as long as you tried your best, it was fine, regardless of whether you could do things well or not. But look at this! Look at the mess you've made!"
Qin Liang's chest heaved, his face flushed with anger. "You've made me lose all face!"
"Dad, let me explain..." Qin Ji still wanted to defend himself.
But Qin Liang had no desire to hear what he had to say. He slammed his fist on the table and roared furiously, "Get out! Now!"
Wang Yu stood at the door of the study. She had been guarding the door ever since Qin Ji was summoned to the study.
