Chapter 261 Hesitation
Chapter 262 Indecision
Ever since Mr. Qin transferred his company to Fang Qing, Fang Qing's life has become busy.
The first thing she did when she got up every morning was to read the current affairs news and learn about financial stock trends. Then she would learn company management from her assistant and receive family etiquette training. In the evening, she would follow Grandpa Qin or Qin Xue to attend various banquets and activities. Even on weekends, she had to do body management and skin care, which resulted in her being almost exhausted when she got home.
Although such a tight life was tiring, it also allowed Fang Qing to improve a lot in a short period of time.
Now, when she attends board meetings, she will no longer be laughed at because she can't understand their conversations; she will no longer hide in the corner because of inferiority complex when attending parties; even the rich children who looked down on her before have found that Fang Qing is getting better little by little...
Everyone saw Fang Qing's change, but their reactions varied.
Old Master Qin felt that he had not made a mistake in choosing the right person and was very happy. He took Fang Qing with him wherever he went so that she could see the world. This made the younger generation in the family uncomfortable, and the most obvious reaction was from Qin Haiyang.
Looking at Fang Qing who was chatting happily with everyone in the distance, Qin Haiyang snorted disdainfully, said hello to his friends and walked out of the banquet hall.
"Haiyang, why does your grandfather take that country girl with him wherever he goes recently? What's going on in your family? Could it be true, as the rumors say, that your old man wants to leave all his property to her family?"
Qin Haiyang leaned over the railing, and his lighter lit up in the dark. As a puff of smoke rose, Qin Haiyang took two puffs of the cigarette before he slowly spoke.
"What does our family have to do with you?"
Qin Haiyang's tone was unkind, and the man beside him immediately became angry and paused, "Can you speak? We are concerned about you as friends, why don't you know what is good and what is bad?"
Looking at those so-called friends leaving in anger, a hint of sarcasm flashed in Qin Haiyang's eyes.
"Care about me? Humph, you just want to laugh at my joke and step on me..."
Then he put out the cigarette in his hand, Qin Haiyang slowly left the banquet hall holding the railing, went to the bar to get drunk until late at night, and returned home the next morning, drunk.
As soon as he got home and saw the people in the living room, Qin Haiyang's face changed slightly.
"dad……"
Qin Sanzhong had been inspecting work overseas and had just returned yesterday. But as soon as he got home, he heard the housekeeper talk about the recent family affairs. When he asked where his son had gone, the servants at home didn't know, so Qin Sanzhong's face darkened.
"Where have you been? You didn't come back all night, and you reeked of alcohol! What did I tell you before I left? I told you to come home on time and spend more time with your grandfather, and this is how you take care of him?"
Looking at his father's gloomy face, Qin Haiyang's hangover mind finally sobered up a little. He stood up straight and lowered his head to answer his father's questions.
"Dad, yesterday... a friend had a birthday, so I went to have dinner with them. I couldn't drive after drinking, and it was too late, so I slept in a nearby hotel... I usually go home on time to accompany grandpa. If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Guo!"
Qin Haiyang still respects his father very much.
Although he knew that he was not his biological son, he still remembered the love and care his father had shown him over the years. Therefore, even if he was dissatisfied with the Qin family, he still cared about his father very much.
Watching his son's nervous explanation, Qin Sanzhong sighed, "You are an adult now, it is normal for you to go out for social events, but I heard that you are not very friendly to your second sister who just came back. You even refused to help your fifth uncle when he had something to do at home. Is that true?"
Fifth uncle? Second sister? Are their family members worthy?
When Qin Haiyang heard his father mention Fang Qing's family, he immediately lost his patience, "No! I'm just not familiar with them yet, and my grandfather has already arranged everything at home, so he doesn't need me at all..."
Seeing his son quibbling, Qin Sanzhong wanted to scold him, but then he sighed.
"Your fifth uncle's family has suffered a lot outside for so many years. It's a blessing to be reunited as a family now. Although you didn't grow up with them, you are the older brother, so you should at least know how to be humble and tolerant. Even if they are outsiders, you will be humble and tolerant, not to mention that they are your brothers and sisters..."
Qin Sanzhong talked for a long time until he started coughing, then he stopped.
Qin Haiyang was worried about his father's health, so he quickly poured hot water and handed it to him, "Dad, why are you coughing again? Weren't you well before?"
Qin San drank the hot water and felt better. "It's okay. Maybe I caught a cold after coming back. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."
Qin San looked at his nervous son in front of him, thinking that the dark and skinny little boy back then had become so mature and steady, and he finally felt a little relieved.
"Haiyang, you know what our family is like. Your brothers are not interested in managing the family business, so in the future, the management of the family business will still be handed over to you. You are going to do great things in the future, so don't always focus on small things. You need to open your horizons and be open-minded, so that you can see higher and go further..."
After giving a few instructions, Qin Sanzhong finally couldn't bear it anymore and went back to rest with the help of his son.
Qin Haiyang looked at his father's increasingly old face and the gray hair on his temples. He swallowed back the questions that were on the tip of his tongue. After settling his father down, he went straight back to his room.
Looking at the photo of him and his father in the garden on the table, Qin Haiyang's eyes were gloomy.
Although his grandfather was not kind to him, his father loved him very much. When he thought that once the plan with Liu Sisi was implemented, the Qin family might lose its former warmth, and his father might be sad because of it, he felt very flustered and uneasy.
After struggling for a while, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Forget it, for my father's sake, I'll give you one more chance!"
The subversion plan was temporarily shelved, and Qin Haiyang also tried to accept Fang Qing's family and pretend that he knew nothing.
Unexpectedly, a company he managed suffered a loss of very important R&D data due to information leakage, causing significant losses to the company.
When this matter was reported back to the Qin family, Old Master Qin immediately became very angry.
"Look at what you've done. We've been researching and developing this new material for nearly ten years! We finally achieved some results, but they were stolen right under your nose! How did you manage to be a general manager?"
Qin Haiyang lowered his head and listened to his grandfather's curse, with no expression on his face.
The R&D results were stolen, which was indeed due to his poor supervision, but as long as they apply for a patent as soon as possible and then put it into production, they will still have a chance to seize the market first...
"Grandpa, it's my fault. Don't be angry, but we still have a chance to make amends now..."
"Remedy? You just remembered it now, it's too late!"
It was indeed late. Dinner had not even arrived, but the company that had been competing with them announced that it had developed a new product!
