Carrying a thorn stick to apologize
That afternoon, Qin Changchun, the eldest son of the Sheng family, was accompanying Chairman Cui to listen to Peking Opera in Jingyuanzi.
Although he didn't really like listening to opera, seeing Chairman Cui so engrossed in it, he also started to nod his head along.
Half an hour passed by unknowingly until a shrill bell rang, breaking the atmosphere.
"I'm sorry, President Cui, I have to take a call first." Qin Changchun said with a smile.
Cui Bai nodded and continued to hum along with the Peking opera on the stage.
The Drunken Concubine was being performed on the stage, and the actor was expressing the resentment of Yang Guifei when she was drunk.
Qin Changchun was afraid that the call would disturb Chairman Cui's mood, so he walked to an open space on the side.
"Hello, what's the matter? Didn't I tell you not to call me unless it's necessary? Do you know that Chairman Cui is sitting next to me?" Qin Changchun scolded.
"Boss Qin, something bad has happened."
"I'm fine, Chen Yi, please speak properly."
Chen Yi steadied his voice. "Boss Qin, I also suddenly received a notice from the project manager that all investments between Sheng and us have been terminated, and they are already withdrawing their capital."
"What investment?" Qin Changchun's head was buzzing at this time.
"It's the investment you pulled back from Sheng's, the amusement park reconstruction project, and the plan for new shopping malls nearby. Sheng's sudden withdrawal of 1 billion yuan has completely severed our funding chain!"
Qin Changchun felt like he had been hit on the head, and stars appeared in his eyes.
"Boss Qin, the company is in chaos right now. I need you to come back sometime."
"Did they tell me the reason?" Qin Changchun was overwhelmed. He had thought that by getting back the investment, he would be able to secure his position as Chairman Qin, but who knew this would happen.
That is the Sheng family, which has absolute power in northern Beijing. If even they withdraw their investment, which other company would dare to invest in them?
"Well, they say..."
At this time, Chen Yi began to stammer.
Qin Changchun couldn't hear clearly and said angrily: "It's already this time, and you're still hiding it."
The voice was so loud that even Cui Bai, who was immersed in Peking Opera, looked over with a puzzled look.
But Qin Changchun had no time to care about these things at this time. His mind was full of the Qin family's withdrawal of investment, the collapse of the capital chain, and the blow of becoming a sinner of the Qin family.
"I heard that Young Master Qin bumped into Mr. Sheng, and Mr. Sheng was furious and stopped all cooperation."
Qin Changchun gritted his teeth. It was the perfect time for him to show his talents, but this rebellious son happened to cause trouble for him again.
"What else did Sheng say?"
“They also said they would hold us accountable.”
"This rebellious son is really making me mad!"
Qin Changchun had a circle of cold sweat on his forehead and he leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.
The Sheng family’s legal department is considered the strongest on earth. They have lost only a handful of cases in the past fifty years. This time, they will be in big trouble if they don’t die.
There are so many people in northern Beijing, why would the rebellious son pick on the powerful Sheng family?
How could this rebellious son dare to offend the big Buddha who even he had to kowtow to?
"Mr. Qin, please don't be angry. The plan we are discussing here is to apologize to Mr. Sheng first and ask for his forgiveness."
Qin Changchun heard that there was still a chance of recovery, and his pale face finally regained some color. "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and prepare a car for me. I need to go to Sheng's now."
"Then Young Master Qin..."
Since it was Qin Beichen who provoked Mr. Sheng, he naturally needed to go and apologize in person.
But Chen Yi didn't dare to say it too obviously, after all, this was Mr. Qin's biological son.
"Where is that bastard now? Tie him up in the car immediately and send two more bodyguards to watch him. If you can't handle this, you can quit."
Qin Changchun had lost his usual composure and only wanted to ask for Mr. Sheng's forgiveness.
Seeing that he looked like he was about to faint, Cui Bai approached him and asked with concern, "Changchun, what happened?"
Qin Changchun was so anxious that he almost cried. "Chairman Cui, this time I really have encountered trouble. My son accidentally bumped into Mr. Sheng, and now I have to rush to deal with this matter. I am sorry for disturbing your leisure today. I will apologize tomorrow."
Cui Bai was also shocked when he heard this. Having offended Mr. Sheng was indeed a big deal.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. If you need me, just ask me and I'll help you if I can."
Qin Changchun almost burst into tears when he heard President Cui's words. "Then I'll ask you to say a few good words for me in front of Mr. Sheng."
Cui Bai nodded. After all, he had some connections with the Sheng family, so it wouldn't hurt to plead for them.

As soon as Qin Beichen's car stopped downstairs of the Qin Group, a group of bodyguards appeared with a "swish".
He asked in confusion, "What's going on today? Did the old man come to the company in person?"
The bodyguards exchanged glances and said, "Mr. Qin, we're sorry." Then they grabbed Qin Beichen and tied him up tightly with a hemp rope.
At this time, the Alpha hidden in the dark also drove up. As soon as the door opened, Qin Beichen was stuffed into the back seat.
Before he could see who was in front of him, he was slapped hard, and the sound echoed throughout the car.
"Who are you? How dare you hit me?" Half of Qin Beichen's face quickly turned red and swollen, and he roared in disbelief.
In broad daylight, someone dared to kidnap him downstairs of his own company and even beat him.
This person must be tired of living!
"Who am I? I am your father. You beast, open your eyes and see who I am." Qin Changchun still felt unsatisfied and slapped him on the other side of the face.
Qin Beichen was furious. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? If he hadn't been tied up, he really wanted to kill the man in front of him.
When he shook his hair aside and saw clearly, he couldn't help but stand there in a daze, and then he screamed madly: "Dad, are you crazy? Are you crazy? You actually hit me!"
"Not only will I beat you, I will also bury you, you bastard. If you weren't my son, I would kill you right now." Qin Changchun punched him a few more times.
Qin Beichen collapsed immediately. He had never been treated like this in his life, not to mention that he was already a 23-year-old man.
"Why, why do you do this to me?"
"You still dare to ask why? Don't you know what you've done?"
Qin Beichen paused for a moment. Could it be that his father knew that he was squandering money in the bar and was disappointed with him?
But he had been squandering money in the bar for more than a day or two, so there was no reason for him to be so angry.
"Dad, what exactly happened? I've been staying in the bar these past two days and I don't know anything."
Upon hearing this, Qin Changchun slapped him in anger again, scaring the driver so much that he dared not even look away.
"You caused me trouble and you still dared to go out drinking. How could I not know that you have such a wild temper?"
"I'm telling you, if you can't handle this today, you'll have to get out of the Qin family. From now on, I'll treat you as an untold son."
Qin Beichen was almost mentally collapsed after being slapped, "What the hell is going on!"
"You piece of trash, you don't know who you've offended, and yet you dare to act so arrogantly in front of me? I don't think you'll die one day."
"I didn't cause any trouble!" Qin Beichen just hugged a few girls to drink in the bar. Could it be that there was also the woman of a big boss in the Beijing circle among them?
"If you hadn't caused any trouble, would the Sheng family have withdrawn their investment and wanted to bring down our Qin family? The family fortune accumulated by your ancestors would be lost in the hands of a rebellious son like you." Qin Changchun lamented.
Only then did Qin Beichen understand why his father beat him, but he had never offended the Sheng family?
"Is there a misunderstanding? I haven't been getting along with the Sheng family at all during this period, let alone causing any trouble."
"Misunderstanding? The people below said that Mr. Sheng got angry and stopped cooperating."
"Sheng Wensheng?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Changchun covered his mouth again.
"You bastard, you're asking for your life! You even dare to call him by his name."
"Mmmm..." Qin Beichen struggled.
Qin Changchun finally let him go, his expression becoming extremely heavy. "It's not him. Now the power of the Sheng family has been handed over to his son."
"Sheng Yuanhan?" Qin Beichen asked again in confusion.
Qin Changchun glared at him fiercely and said, "Pay attention to yourself. You can't even call the Sheng family members by their names."
"How could I have the courage to provoke him?" Qin Beichen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He was usually as honest as a grandson in front of Sheng Yuanhan.
"Whether you did it intentionally or not, you must apologize today and confess your mistakes in front of Mr. Sheng."
Qin Beichen gritted his teeth in anger, "Why should I apologize for something I didn't do?"
"I can kick you out of the Qin family tomorrow, demolish your villa, and suspend all your credit cards."
Qin Changchun scolded him, "Do you think you can have a good life after we fail? If you want to become the laughing stock of all Jingbei, then go against the Sheng family."
Qin Beichen's proud head drooped suddenly, "Okay, I'll go, I'll take the blame."
Qin Changchun was gasping for breath, but seeing that he was finally willing to admit his mistake, his attitude improved a little.
"Your second and third uncles have been keeping an eye on this little family business recently. If anything goes wrong here, not only you, but also me will be kicked out by the old man."
"I understand." Qin Beichen pursed his lips, his eyes downcast and stubborn.

The front desk of Sheng Group called the general manager's office.
"Manager Zhang, Mr. Qin Changchun and Mr. Qin Beichen, the presidents of the Qin Group, would like to visit Mr. Sheng. Could you please see if Mr. Sheng is available to entertain them?"
Zhang Xu paused. Mr. Sheng left the hospital without saying goodbye at noon today, and then gave the order to terminate the cooperation with Qin over the phone.
He thought, this might be because he was jealous of Qin Beichen.
Now Mr. Sheng is angry, and the Qin family will suffer.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Take them to the living room first and sit down. No need to pour water."
Although the receptionist was surprised, he did not ask any further questions.
Qin Changchun's tense nerves gradually relaxed when he saw that the front desk did not directly reject his request but took him to the reception room.
As long as we can meet, any misunderstanding can be resolved.
"Let's go, don't play tricks on me at this time."
Qin Changchun pushed Qin Beichen.
Qin Beichen staggered and fell to the side.
Fortunately, there was a bodyguard standing next to him, who reached out to steady him.
Qin Beichen's face was filled with gloom, and he felt humiliated. "Dad, can you untie the rope?"
"No, if you run away, how can I face Mr. Sheng?"
"I won't run away. I'm your son. Would I lie to you?"
"Because you're my son, I know you better than anyone else." Qin Changchun waved his hand unhappily and then instructed the bodyguard, "Fix his coat and don't let anyone see the hemp rope inside."
The bodyguard responded and pushed his empty sleeve forward.
Qin Beichen suppressed his anger and kept his father's actions today firmly in mind.
The three of them sat in the reception room for half an hour, but no one came to greet them.
At this time, Qin Changchun felt a little thirsty, but he was too embarrassed to ask the front desk for water.
An hour later, Qin Changchun sat in the conference room, looking around, his hands clenched tightly.
At this moment, countless bad thoughts flashed through his mind, and his face became worse and worse until it turned pale.
At this time, a clear and pleasant voice came, "Mr. Qin, our President Sheng wants to see you."
Qin Changchun suddenly felt energetic as if he had drunk a bowl of ginseng soup, and jumped up from the sofa.
"Okay, we'll be right there."
Qin Beichen, on the other hand, looked nervous.
He kept thinking in his mind how he had offended Mr. Sheng.
As soon as they came out of the 30th floor, they saw Zhang Xu standing at the elevator entrance with a serious expression.
Qin Changchun had an impression of this man, so he said flatteringly, "Thank you, Manager Zhang."
Zhang Xu said coldly: "Come with me."
After saying that, he took them to the door of Sheng Yuanhan's office.
Zhang Xu was a little nervous, fearing that Mr. Sheng's dissatisfaction with Qin would affect him.
"Mr. Sheng, Qin Changchun and his son from the Qin Group want to see you."
After saying that, the three of them stood at the door, holding their breath and keeping quiet.
The air conditioner in the hall was clearly setting the temperature to 26 degrees, but beads of sweat the size of beans were already appearing on Qin Changchun's forehead.
Qin Beichen's face was tense and his eyes were confused.
Zhang Xu was also quite anxious, wondering whether to knock on the door again.
In the depressing atmosphere, a low and indifferent voice sounded like a savior, "Come in."
