After saying that, he naturally leaned close to Old Master Leng's ear, lowered his voice, and quickly revealed his plan in a volume that only the two of them could hear.
At first, Grandpa Leng listened attentively with a serious expression, but as he listened, his brows gradually relaxed and his eyes became brighter. When he heard the key points, he couldn't help but slap his thigh hard with his right hand, which was not using a cane. The wrinkles on his face opened up with a smile, revealing an excitement and appreciation as if he had found a treasure.
"Excellent! Brilliant!"
"With a young talent like you, you are truly the hope for the future of China!"
"I promise you! Leave this to me, I'll arrange for someone to take care of it right away! I guarantee it will be handled perfectly!"
Leng Nan watched with bated breath, straining her ears to hear, but only catching indistinct syllables. Her curiosity was practically bursting out of her head. What were these two saying? Why was Grandpa reacting so strongly?
"Hey! Qin Xiao!" She couldn't help but stomp her foot. "What are you whispering to my grandpa about? So secretive!"
Qin Xiao turned his head and smiled at her, a smile that carried just the right amount of cunning and smugness.
"Keep it a secret for now."
"you!"
Leng Nan, annoyed, lifted her foot, clad in a fluffy slipper, and symbolically kicked Qin Xiao's butt. The force was so light that it was more like flirting than a kick.
"You're still trying to play these tricks on me!"
Qin Xiao smiled and nimbly dodged, then stood up and stretched his limbs. He felt that the pain in his lower abdomen had indeed lessened considerably, and at least he could move around without any problems.
"As the art of war says, success is achieved through secrecy. Do you understand?"
"It's getting late, and I have other things to take care of, so I'll head back now."
He walked to the door, then turned back as if he remembered something, winking his right eye at Leng Nan, who was still somewhat sulking, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.
"By the way, you're welcome to come to my house anytime you have time. I'll be waiting for you anytime! Goodbye!"
After saying that, he left the grandfather and grandson inside the room with a tall and dashing back view, and turned to leave the Leng family's guest room.
Leng Nan stared at his retreating figure as he disappeared through the door, stunned for a few seconds. Then, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly, curving into a beautiful arc. In her mind, however, she was already starting to make her own plans.
Hmph, you want me to come to your house to play?
You said it yourself! I've got it!
However, I'm not going to go openly! I'm going to launch a surprise attack, first visiting my future in-laws to build a good relationship with them and establish a united front!
With our combined efforts from within and without, how could we possibly fail to take down this stubborn but soft-hearted little scoundrel? Let's see where you run to!
Qin Xiao was naturally unaware of Leng Nan's "grand" plans.
He got into the black sedan, which had an ordinary exterior but a specially modified interior, and without any hesitation, gave the driver his instructions.
"Go to the Qin Group headquarters building."
A meticulously planned scheme targeting Ye Chen, the powerful figure crossing the river, has only just begun. Meanwhile, a purge of the long-standing parasites within the family who have embezzled the family fortune should also be officially put on the agenda. Beset by internal and external troubles, Qin Xiao must resolve them one by one!
Qin Group, top floor, president's office.
Qin Xiao sat in a large, genuine leather executive chair, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the smooth mahogany tabletop. Outside the window, the neon lights of the capital city shimmered, dazzling and prosperous, but to him, it seemed merely a moving backdrop.
A moment later, he picked up the internal phone and connected to the secretary's desk.
"Xiaoqian, have Qin Nanxi come to my office." His voice was calm and even.
"Yes, Mr. Qin," came the sweet and respectful reply from the other end of the phone from his secretary, Xiaoqian.
A short while later, there was a gentle knock on the heavy solid wood door of the office.
"Please come in."
The door opened, and Qin Nanxi practically rolled in, his face plastered with an almost distorted, fawning smile, like a lapdog wagging its tail waiting to be fed. He rushed to the desk, bending over so low it seemed about to break, his voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement.
"Brother Xiao, you were looking for me? Is it about that project...?"
Qin Xiao raised his eyelids, his gaze sweeping over the greedy face before pointing to the chair opposite him.
"Nanxi, sit down."
Qin Nanxi quickly sat down, but only dared to touch the edge of the chair with her bottom, leaning forward slightly, looking like she was all ears.
Qin Xiao leaned back, crossed his hands over his abdomen, and slowly said, "The board of directors has conducted a detailed evaluation of the new energy battery project you mentioned before."
Qin Nanxi's eyes lit up instantly, the pupils almost reflecting the symbols of money, and his breathing became heavier. His hands, resting on his knees, unconsciously clenched his trousers, his knuckles turning slightly white.
Qin Xiao, seemingly oblivious to his impatient demeanor, continued in a casual tone, as if discussing the weather: "We have decided to invest 20 billion yuan in this new energy battery research and production project."
Two hundred billion!
He's struck it rich! He's really going to make a fortune this time! How many years will this money be enough for him to squander? Luxury cars! Young models! Private jets!
Qin Xiao paused, seemingly observing his reaction, before continuing, "Of that, our Qin Group will contribute 10 billion."
Ten billion! Qin Nanxi's breathing became even more rapid, and he felt like he was about to suffocate. He forced himself to calm down, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a strange arc.
"Another 10 billion," Qin Xiao tapped the table lightly, as if announcing a trivial matter, "the Tang family has also expressed great interest and is willing to invest together."
