Chapter 595 Hot Potato



My son is capable, and my daughter-in-law, although she stays at home, is also a very considerate person.

The grandson is quite capable, and the granddaughter-in-law is even more outstanding. She opened her own factory and clothing store, making a fortune.

If it weren't for his large family business, he might not have earned as much as her.

His grandson has even mastered an industry chain that has shocked him, from planting to transportation to sales and distribution, he has almost created a closed loop.

It can be said that, given time, he will surely surpass him.

Qin Ming was staying at the Qin family's house. He thought he would need some time to adjust to them, or that he might feel uncomfortable.

When Qin Yu woke up in the morning, Xiao Yuqin had already prepared various breakfasts for them. Then, Qin Yu and the others went to school or work, leaving only him and Xiao Yuqin at home. Xiao Yuqin would take him to the market to buy groceries.

As Qin Ming listened to the familiar yet unfamiliar streets, he felt, for the first time since he had been away from human habitation for so long, that he had returned to a populated area.

After buying groceries, Xiao Yuqin took Qin Ming for a walk in the park near their home to get some exercise.

Qin Ming watched the old men in the park playing chess together, and after watching a few games, he became itchy to join them for a game as well.

No one rejected him; they warmly pulled him to sit down.

Qin Ming successfully blended in with the group of old men in the park using his terrible chess skills. Everyone was a terrible chess master, so no one should laugh at anyone else.

On the contrary, it can make the fighting passionate and exciting.

Xiao Yuqin couldn't help but smile as she watched Qin Ming integrate so well.

The next day, Qin Ming no longer needed Xiao Yuqin's company. He went out for a walk on his own, leisurely strolling to the park and joining the old men in their battles.

The third day...

Day 4...

...

Seven days later, the housekeeper, worried that Qin Ming was not used to living at the Qin family home, went to check on the old man as usual, but there was no sign of him.

"Where is the old man?"

The housekeeper looked at Xiao Yuqin in astonishment, thinking they had done something to Old Master Qin!

"Dad? He should be in the park right now, right? He'll be back around eleven. Why don't you wait here for a bit?"

Xiao Yuqin explained with a smile, sitting on the sofa picking vegetables while watching TV.

"garden?"

The housekeeper stared at Xiao Yuqin in astonishment, unable to imagine that a man who possessed everything would go to the park to play chess with others.

"Yes! Dad likes to play chess with Old Wang and the others there."

Xiao Yuqin explained.

"Then I'll go take a look."

The housekeeper was skeptical, so he went out to the park that Xiao Yuqin had mentioned to see Grandpa Qin.

As a result, they saw that Old Master Qin was fighting fiercely with Old Master Wang and Old Master Lu and others.

Just think, the old man is definitely not an ordinary person. These are all patriarchs from several prominent families, people you wouldn't normally even see...

The butler walked to the park pavilion and was about to speak when Qin Ming noticed him.

Qin Ming glared at the butler, who immediately shut his mouth obediently.

Qin Ming was then relieved and continued playing chess with them.

Are you sure you want to get off here?

Old Master Wang glanced at Qin Ming and gave him a reminder.

"Never mind that, a true gentleman observes a game without speaking!"

Grandpa Lu quickly glared at Grandpa Wang, forbidding him from reminding him.

"General!"

Qin Ming had just made his move when Old Master Lu, fearing he would take back his piece, immediately checkmated him.

"...I haven't made up my mind yet!"

Qin Ming glanced at Old Master Lu with a cold smile. The fact that his hand was still there meant that he hadn't made up his mind yet.

With a flick of the wrist, the piece changed position.

"..."

"No, that's going too far. You've already made the decision."

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! I haven't pulled my hand away yet!"

Qin Ming denied it, saying that he hadn't let go of the weapon and it didn't count.

"Hey, you..."

"What's wrong with me...?"

The two old men started arguing, banging on the table back and forth, getting really worked up.

Just as the housekeeper was about to step forward, Xiao Yuqin, who had come over, stopped her.

"It's nothing, the old men are just playing around!"

Xiao Yuqin smiled at the housekeeper.

After a short while, the two old men finished arguing, switched to another person, and sat down to continue a new game of chess.

"See? At this moment, they don't want to be disturbed; they're just arguing for the sake of arguing."

Xiao Yuqin smiled.

"Dad, it's time to go home for dinner after you finish one more plate."

Xiao Yuqin shouted at Qin Ming.

"Hey, I'll go back after I finish this game."

Qin Ming replied without turning his head.

Xiao Yuqin smiled and turned to go home.

The butler stood silently by the side, watching the old man. He noticed that the old man seemed more relaxed here than at home, and his whole demeanor seemed much more vibrant.

No one knew Qin Ming better than him. He had taken care of him for decades and watched him often stand alone by the window. Even when the entire Qin family was around him, he had never laughed so freely and happily as he did now.

After finishing the last game, the old men got up and prepared to go home.

The butler then stepped forward, and Qin Ming glanced at him.

Why did you come here?

Qin Ming snorted lightly; he hadn't even thought about replying yet!

“Sir, I was worried you weren’t comfortable living here, so I came to check on you.”

The butler looked at the empty Qin family home; he had been guarding it for seven days.

The old man, however, was so happy that he forgot all about home.

"I'm perfectly fine! You can go back now if there's nothing else!"

Qin Ming waved his hand, unwilling to go home.

“My son said he wants me to live here from now on, and I’m not going back.”

Qin Ming's words left the butler helpless.

"Sir, you've forgotten, you still have a ton of things to take care of..."

The housekeeper reminded him.

"Give them all to Qin Yu! He'll be in charge of everything from now on. I'm getting old, it's time for me to retire."

It's rare to be able to live such an easy life, so he doesn't want to work hard anymore. Now he has a son and grandson, he can see his children and grandchildren every day, and his daughter-in-law cooks delicious meals. When he's free, he can even find someone in the park to play chess with.

He had no idea life could be so comfortable; he had no desire to return to that den of wolves.

"But sir..."

"Qin Yu is a good kid, you can leave it to him!"

Qin Ming waved his hand, completely unwilling to listen to the butler's nagging.

“I’m seventy years old, it’s time to step down and pass the reins to someone more capable. I think Qin Yu is a good kid, he’s smart and steady, and he does things properly. You can hand over all the work to him.”

"If anyone asks, just say that I have already handed over the business to him."

With just a few words, Qin Ming dumped the entire responsibility on Qin Yu.

Qin Yu looked completely bewildered when he saw the seal the butler brought.

"I don't want it. Those are his things. I have my own things to do. I don't have time."

Qin Yu thought about it for a moment and then refused.

"Besides, I'm so young, they definitely won't trust me. How about this, you hand me over to my dad! Let my dad take care of me."

Qin Yu held Xia Lan in his arms and pushed all the responsibility onto Qin Jun.

Qin Jun glanced at Qin Yu speechlessly.

What a good son! How could he be such a burden to his father?

"Dad, I think you should be in charge of these things! You know I'm in the military, it's not appropriate for me to manage your private property."
