Qin Litao is quite confident about this.
My grandfather still holds a very high position in Beijing!
Um? !
Hearing Qin Litao say this, Ye Chen's eyes lit up. That's right.
Although he himself did not have deep roots in Beijing, Qin Litao was a local and also Qin Lao's grandson. Investigating Liang Yuanzhi would be no problem at all.
Although he didn't ask explicitly, Ye Chen could roughly guess Qin Lao's identity.
It should be noted that among the eight powerful families in the capital, there is one called the Qin family, and the Qin family ranks second among the eight powerful families in the capital, even more powerful than the Cao family to which Cao Bailu belonged!
The current head of the Qin family in Beijing is a middle-aged man in his fifties. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be Qin Lao's son and Qin Litao's father.
Old Master Qin should be the previous patriarch of the Qin family.
"Could you help me investigate who or what forces are backing Liang Yuanzhi of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce?"
Ye Chen spoke.
"No problem."
Qin Litao immediately agreed, "Isn't it just investigating someone?"
Grandpa doesn't even need to get involved. He can just go to his father and his uncles and elders, and maybe that will solve the problem.
"Brother Chen, please wait a moment. We'll have the results in twenty minutes at the latest."
After sending the message, Qin Litao said to Ye Chen:
"By the way, Brother Chen, when did you get involved with the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce?"
Qin Litao was a little puzzled. Didn't Brother Chen just arrive in Beijing? How did he get involved with the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, one of the six major chambers of commerce in Beijing?
"Oh, nothing special. I'm running for the next president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce."
Ye Chen gave a calm reply.
"What?!"
"Brother Chen, what did you say?!"
Ye Chen's calm words startled Qin Litao.
"Brother Chen, are you running for the next president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce?"
Qin Litao stared blankly at Ye Chen, looking utterly astonished.
Although the overall strength of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce is slightly inferior to that of the Qin family, it is still one of the six major chambers of commerce in the capital, a top-tier force in the city.
On many important occasions, the president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce could sit on equal footing with his father, the head of one of Beijing's top wealthy families. He was an absolute big shot in Beijing!
Brother Chen has only been in Beijing for a short time, and now he's already running for the next president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.
Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap...................
Qin Litao was utterly horrified.
If Brother Chen really succeeds in the election, then he will probably be the youngest person to control any of the major powers in the capital, without exception.
"Brother Chen is awesome!!!"
Qin Litao couldn't help but admire it.
His decision to curry favor with Brother Chen and become his underling was absolutely the right one.
At this moment, Qin Litao finally understood why Chen Ge had disagreed when he wanted to take him out to play. Compared to running for the new president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, nothing else mattered!
"Brother Chen, you're too young. It'll be very difficult for you to compete for the position of the new president of the Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce..."
With a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep emotion/reflection), Qin Litao offered his analysis.
The youngest of the top powers in the capital are apparently over forty years old, so the chances of a young man in his twenties winning the election are slim.
Thinking of this, Qin Litao immediately dialed his grandfather's number to see if his grandfather could help Chen Ge.
Brother Chen has a good relationship with the Qin family. If Brother Chen can be successfully elected as the president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, it will be a good thing for the Qin family.
After the call connected, Qin Litao immediately told Old Master Qin about Ye Chen's candidacy for the next president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.
"What?!"
"Xiao Chen is running for the new president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce?!"
When Qin, who was far away in Jiangzhou, finished listening to his grandson's story, he was equally dumbfounded.
It's only been a few months since I last saw him, and Xiao Chen has developed so ridiculously that he's already running for president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce.
Unbelievable, unbelievable!
"Give the phone to Xiaochen, I need to talk to him..."
"This matter is extremely important," Old Master Qin commanded.
"Brother Chen, Grandpa wants to say a few words to you."
Qin Litao handed the phone to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen chatted with Old Master Qin. Old Master Qin inquired about Ye Chen's campaign progress. When Old Master Qin learned that Ye Chen had already entered the second round of the election, and that Ye Chen had come in first place in the first round, Old Master Qin was even more shocked.
This is what it means to be young and promising.
Grandpa Qin was filled with emotion.
Without relying on a powerful family background, relying solely on one's own abilities and connections, there is a high probability that by the age of twenty, one could become the next president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce, a top figure in the capital, and on par with the heads of wealthy families in the capital.
Xiao Chen is exceptionally talented.
"The second round of the election is crucial. Xiao Chen, didn't you mention Liang Yuanzhi, this dark horse? He might be backed by other powerful forces in Beijing. In that case, our Qin family will help you..."
Immediately afterwards, Grandpa Qin offered to help Ye Chen win the second round of the election!
Helping Ye Chen become the president of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce would also be a good thing for the Qin family.
"Then thank you very much, Elder Qin..."
With Elder Qin offering such enthusiastic help, Ye Chen couldn't say anything more.
"Don't be so polite, Xiao Chen. Today is very important. Just have Li Tao by your side. If there's anything you need to do, let him handle it. It'll be easier for him to contact our family if he's here."
Finally, Old Qin added a special comment.
Now that the Qin family, the second most powerful family in Beijing, is on Ye Chen's side, it doesn't seem to matter so much who is supporting Liang Yuanzhi.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen and Qin Litao headed straight for the headquarters of the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce!
