Meanwhile, Qin Lang, the second young master of the Qin family, returned to Shanghai with his men.
This time, my goals are different, and so are my actions.
He wanted to deal with Zhao Chen, and it wasn't just because he saw Zhao Chen as someone more complex than he seemed.
Zhao Chen has now become the link between the Shen family, the Williams family, and the Qi family.
Although the two companies have not yet truly cooperated, allowing Zhao Chen to continue developing his business will eventually produce some amazing effects.
If these three giants were to join forces, it would pose a huge threat to the Qin family.
Because the Qin family and the Shen family do indeed have a conflict of interest, but previously, the conflict was not too serious, and both sides were relatively restrained.
But now that Zhao Chen has had an effect, the Qin family might unexpectedly clash with the other two major clans at any time.
Getting things done with Zhao Chen ahead of time is something Qin Lang absolutely must do.
He always had a feeling that this kid would bring huge trouble, or even danger, to their family.
The reason he hadn't taken action before was because he had no one to rely on.
Even if he really wanted to take action, Alice and the Shen family would withstand it, and might even put him in a very passive position.
But this time was different. His older brother, Qin Feng, gave him plenty of support, providing him with manpower and money as needed.
On the one hand, they want to take down Zhao Chen, and on the other hand, they want to seize the market share vacated by the Zhao family!
They even want to swallow up the Zhao family!
However, hunters often appear as prey.
At this time, Qin Lang did not return to Yingcai Private High School.
He went to that school before solely to keep an eye on Alice.
This was a task assigned to him by his older brother.
Now, the older brother doesn't seem to care about Alice as much anymore.
After all, with the problems in Russia to the north erupting, women were no longer a consideration for Qin Feng.
If the Qin family falls, nothing we say will matter. What good is a marriage agreement anyway?
Moreover, the Qi family's attitude towards the so-called childhood betrothal they had arranged is now ambiguous.
Alice has risen again with great strength and has her own right to choose her own marriage partner.
Not to mention anything else, he couldn't force Alice to agree if she didn't agree.
Therefore, the most fundamental thing is to make the Qin family strong enough.
Originally, according to his original plan, if these big business deals could be successfully completed, it would be enough to further elevate their family's status in the upper class.
Because this transaction involved the arms industry, it was taken very seriously by higher authorities.
As a result, due to foreign exchange issues, the Qin family made a wrong prediction and suffered heavy losses instantly.
Cooperation in arms dealing immediately came to a standstill, as the Russians were also overwhelmed with other matters and had no time to deal with him.
This is a double blow...
Thinking about these frustrating days, Qin Feng felt like he was about to go crazy with anger.
He now desperately needs income from other sources to make up for the losses caused by his previous misjudgments.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of him, how could he possibly not take action?
Qin Lang was also adept at seizing opportunities. This time, he returned with the intention of making a big splash. Ideally, he would throw the situation in Shanghai into chaos so he could fish in troubled waters!
Meanwhile, Qin Lang had already arrived at the hospital where Zhao Guohua was receiving treatment.
He arrived at Zhao Guohua's room carrying flowers, a fruit basket, and some expensive tonics, acting like a gentleman.
"Uncle Zhao, I'm so sorry."
"You've had such a big accident, and I'm only just getting around to seeing you now. You're not angry with me, are you?"
Upon hearing Qin Lang's words, a faint smile finally appeared on Zhao Guohua's face, which had been etched with worry for many days.
"Second Young Master, I am already very happy that you came to visit me. I am truly flattered."
"This time, our Zhao family has suffered a heavy loss. We've really hit a snag, and it's even caused some serious damage."
"If it's convenient for you, Second Young Master, could you ask the Qin family to give us a hand?"
"Once this crisis is over, we can still be great partners!"
"Our Zhao family will absolutely follow the lead of your Qin family!"
Upon hearing Zhao Guohua's words, Qin Lang immediately smiled:
“Uncle Zhao, what you’re saying is all easy to discuss, but the problem is, I don’t have the final say in the Qin family.”
"Moreover, I know that the Zhao family suffered heavy losses this time. I really want to help, but in the Qin family, I am not the head of the family and my voice is limited."
All I can say is that I will do my best to help.
"As for whether it will work out, I can't guarantee it."
"However, you are Ziyao's father after all, and I don't want to just watch Ziyao suffer, do I?"
Upon hearing what the other party said, Zhao Guohua immediately understood the meaning behind it.
So, without saying a word, he made a promise to Qin Lang:
"Second Young Master, Ziyao has always said that she admires your talent and character."
"Now I'm in charge here. As long as you can help our Zhao family get out of this predicament, I'll immediately let Ziyao marry into the family."
"You can arrange your marriage however you want!"
"We'll listen to you."
Qin Lang immediately smiled with satisfaction: "Uncle Zhao, with you saying that, I'll definitely do my best to help."
"Just wait for good news."
"However, I have some bad news for you now."
"That's why you lost so badly this time!"
Upon hearing Qin Lang's words, Zhao Guohua couldn't help but sit up straight.
His wife, Bai Yuxiu, who was serving him, also had her eyes wide open.
They initially thought it was just bad luck; their investment in Siam had just been finalized and was settling down when the financial crisis hit.
They couldn't hide from them even if they wanted to.
Therefore, they have always felt that this was caused by their own poor decision-making.
But hearing Qin Lang say this now, it seems there's more to the story?
How could Zhao Guohua possibly remain seated?
The Zhao family's current scale and achievements are the result of his hard work for most of his life. In order to go further, they even sacrificed their own son back then.
This financial crisis, however, caused Zhao Guohua to lose most of the fruits of his life's labor. How could he not be heartbroken?
Of course, it's not beyond saving. If the Qin family is willing to lend a hand, stabilize the stock price of their Zhao Group, and then use enough funds to revitalize their projects.
In that case, not only will they not suffer, but the Zhao family can also usher in a period of explosive growth.
But now that they've fallen into trouble, who's willing to lend them a hand?
That's why Zhao Guohua humbled himself and even begged Qin Lang to help them by selling his daughter.
However, what they didn't know was that the Qin family was now also struggling to protect itself.
Now that he heard that there was another reason for the Zhao family's investment failure, his gaze immediately locked onto Qin Lang.
"Second Young Master, have you heard something? Has our Zhao family offended someone and been deliberately framed?"
Qin Lang smiled calmly:
"You really offended someone badly; they're determined to fight you to the death."
Zhao Guohua asked, his voice trembling slightly:
"Who is it? Who wants to harm our Zhao family?"
"We have been in Shanghai for so many years, and we have always been kind to people, made many good relationships, and rarely offended anyone."
However, Qin Lang then uttered a name that surprised his entire family:
"The person you've offended is none other than your eldest son, Zhao Chen!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Guohua's pupils dilated in shock: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
