Chapter 416: Being Tricked



"But you..."

Yang Yun looked at Qin Si with a worried look on her face, obviously still worried that he would be scolded by Qin Kuan, but Qin Si comforted her: "It's okay, father was just angry just now, it won't be like this now."

After Qin Si's repeated persuasion, Yang Yun finally felt relieved and left.

When only Qin Kuan and Qin Si, father and son, were left here, the situation became somewhat stalemate again.

It was Qin Kuan who first asked, breaking the deadlock: "Can you please tell me what happened that led to your failure to be elected?"

Qin Si then told Qin Kuan everything he had seen and heard today: "...There will be another vote in three days."

Qin Kuan pondered his son's words carefully. Suddenly, he asked, "Which director proposed to postpone the vote?"

Qin Si thought about it carefully, but he couldn't be sure who was speaking at that time.

Qin Kuan saw his puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

After being reminded of this, Qin Si felt that something was wrong. Now, he could not connect that sharp voice with any director he had met before.

Now that I think about it, that shrill voice sounded like someone was deliberately lowering their voice so that people couldn't tell who was speaking.

Thinking of this, Qin Si immediately became angry: "Someone tricked me!"

No wonder his and Wang Zhe's vote counts just happened to be the same. It turned out that someone had tampered with the results.

"You're still too young! I thought the position of general manager was easy to get, so I didn't go there in person. I didn't expect that Qin Zun's people would take advantage of it."

Qin Si asked in surprise, "Father, are you saying that Qin Li was involved in this? But I've been keeping a close eye on him and haven't noticed any unusual behavior from him."

Qin Kuan scoffed lightly: "Huh, that idiot Qin Li can't cause any trouble. You've been targeting the wrong person from the beginning to the end. No wonder things went wrong."

Qin Si suddenly realized: "Are you talking about the group of people under Qin Zun?"

Qin Si suddenly discovered that since Qin Zun disappeared, the people under his command no longer acted in a high-profile manner, and seemed to be keeping a low profile. It was precisely because of this lack of presence that he lost his vigilance against that group of people.

Qin Kuan continued to analyze the situation: "It seems that delaying the vote until three days later was also their suggestion?"

Qin Si thought of Li Dan, who was chairing the meeting, and said helplessly, "Yes, then what should we do now? Convince all the major shareholders to immediately elect a general manager candidate?"

Qin Kuan waved his hand and said, "No, they took this step just to buy time and wait for Qin Zun to come back and take charge of the situation. If that's the case, then we will do as they wish!"

Suburban villa

A lovely woman was standing in the garden, watering the thriving flowers with a watering can. However, it was obvious that she was not interested in the beauty of the garden. Instead, her face was filled with a trace of sadness, and it was this sadness that made her pale face look even more pitiful.

Seeing her absent-minded look, the servant beside her hurried forward to take the kettle and said to her, "Young Madam, do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while?"

Tonghua, who was daydreaming, was suddenly awakened by such a voice. She had been in the villa arranged by the old man for her and her daughter for many days, but after such a long time, there was no news from Qin Zun.

Such waiting makes Tonghua more and more sad and tormented day by day. Fortunately, her daughter is by her side. Watching her daughter grow up day by day, learning to speak, and playing with her can slightly soothe Tonghua's uneasy heart.

After handing the watering can to the servant, Tonghua prepared to go upstairs to see her daughter. She guessed that the child would have woken up at this time. When Tonghua walked to her daughter's crib, as expected, Ruoruo was looking at the wind chimes on the crib with her eyes wide open with curiosity.

As soon as she saw someone coming, Ruoruo immediately smiled. Seeing her daughter's sweet smile, Tonghua's heart almost melted. She gently picked up Ruoruo from the bed and said to the little one: "Ruoruo, you are awake. When did you wake up? Mommy will take you out to bask in the sun, okay?"

Ruoruo has always been well-behaved. Even if she wakes up at night, she doesn't cry or make a fuss. When she sees someone coming, she smiles broadly. Anyone who sees this child will be unconsciously infected by her smile.

Tonghua picked up her daughter and was about to put her little shoes on when the nanny, who must have heard something, ran into the room and said to Tonghua, "Madam, the child has just woken up. It's not appropriate for her to go out in the sun right away. Besides, the sun is so strong now that it might hurt her eyes."

Tonghua said: "It's okay, I will put Ruoruo in a cool place, so that he won't get hurt."

But the nurse spoke again: "Young Madam, you are still young. You don't know how many mosquitoes and ants there are in the shade. The child's skin is so delicate. It will be very uncomfortable if bitten by a mosquito."

Although the nanny's words were all for the good of the child, Tonghua was still a little annoyed after hearing what she said.

Ever since she moved here, this nanny has been taking advantage of the fact that the child cannot leave her and always goes against her. Things like this have happened many times. Tonghua began to suspect that the other party was deliberately going against her, but then she changed her mind and thought that this nanny was sent by the old man and should not do such a thing.

Tonghua gritted her teeth. If it weren't for the fact that this was a special period and it was inconvenient to make too much trouble, she would have changed her wet nurse long ago.

But even so, Tonghua couldn't help getting angry: "I have my own children to take care of, and you, as a nanny, don't need to worry about it."

After saying this, Tonghua was about to carry the child downstairs, but what she didn't expect was that for some reason, the child started crying at this moment.

“Wow—wow—”

Hearing the child crying, Tonghua immediately lowered his head to check on the child.

"Don't cry, don't cry, mommy is here!"

Tonghua comforted the child while holding her and rocking her gently, trying to make her stop crying. However, after comforting her for a while, the child not only did not stop crying, but instead cried even louder, which made Tonghua a little panicked and at a loss.

At this moment, the wet nurse saw the opportunity, came up and said, "Why don't you let me take care of the child?"

Tonghua was reluctant in many ways, but seeing the child's heart-wrenching cry, she couldn't bear to let the child continue crying, so she handed the child over.
