Chapter 292 How to Face Yan Chaozong? (1/2)
Anyway, the plot, which Yan Chaozong and Qu Huanxi had played against Qin Sheng, did work. The group of people, including Qin Sheng and Cao Da, were thrown into a panic. What made them feel more helpless was that they had no idea who their opponents were, which was a pretty depressing thing.
Qu Huanxi and Yuan Ke did not bear a deep grudge against Qin Sheng. They did so just to work off their feelings, teach Qin Sheng a lesson, and make him understand that he could not have his own way in Hangzhou. Since Yuan Ke still had some scruples when it was related with Qin Sheng, more or less, he had not shown up at all during the whole process. Instead, he had turned it over to Qu Huanxi and Yan Chaozong.
Both Qu Huanxi and Yan Chaozong had powerful connections; they could do as they wanted. Even if they made a mistake, somebody would always get them out of trouble. It was not the same with Yuan Ke, who could be used without a scruple at critical moments. He did know himself well. After all, Qin Sheng was familiar with Xue Qingyan. Moreover, he got along with Master Liu pretty well.
As for Yan Chaozong, he was far more shrewd and subtle than what those people thought of him. Could it be that he dared to plot against Qin Sheng unscrupulously? The answer was negative. He did have some scruples when it came to Qin Sheng. It was because what had happened in Mount Jiuhua had become a mystery in the end and nobody knew what on earth had taken place. Qin Sheng, who had been supposed to face certain death, had had a close shave. The group of ten people—including Uncle Zhao, who had gotten the upper hand—had all been completely annihilated and vanished into thin air in the end. After that issue, it was not until Qin Sheng had been missing for a full ten-months’ period that he finally showed up again. During that period, there had been no news about him at all. No traces of him could be found. What on earth had happened? After Qin Sheng had arrived in Hangzhou, how could he spring up all of a sudden within just a few months? Yan Chaozong had so much confusion about Yan Chaozong.
Consequently, speaking of the plot he had played against Qin Sheng that time, to him, it was just a test and that was all. He wanted to see how capable Qin Sheng was and who was doing him the favor secretly. He intended to catch them all in one draft. Never would he let Qin Sheng seize any chance.
Speaking of it, Yan Chaozong was somewhat conceited. He never considered the possibility that the big cheese behind Qin Sheng might be someone who he dared not provoke. Because in his opinion, it was not possible for Qin Sheng to know some big cheese. Otherwise, Qin Sheng would have used that connection back when he was in Shanghai. He could not have gone so far as to conceal his identity because of Yan Chaozong’s persecution.
What had happened at the time indicated that Yan Chaozong had guessed correctly. There was no big cheese behind Qin Sheng at all. Qin Sheng just had some shitty luck and that was all. Plus, since he knew Qin Sheng had no powerful connections in Hangzhou and he could place him into such a predicament with such a petty issue, what if he played against him with other plots?
Lastly and most importantly, Lin Changhe had found Qin Sheng and he had taken the initiative to chicken out, indicating what Yan Chaozong had made the right guess.
In the past two days, basically, Qin Sheng was busy attending to his own chores. Lin Su was also busy meeting and hanging out with her friends, who requested to see Qin Sheng. However, Qin Sheng did not have time to do that.
Lin Su called Qin Sheng that day, saying that she had already chosen a suite of housing located beside the West Lake, which was a rare high-end property. Of course, the housing was horrendously expensive. It was an apartment with three bedrooms, two living rooms, and two bathrooms, whose area was above one hundred and thirty square meters. Its total price could easily exceed millions of dollars.
As usual, Lin Su had sent the apartment’s location to Qin Sheng, including the information of the residential quarter, and the house layout drawing. Obviously, she truly liked that apartment, since she could overlook the view of the West Lake while standing on the balcony. As a result, Qin Sheng directly made up his mind to buy that suite of housing and left the rest of the things to Lin Su. Since Lin Su was specialized in finance, she could handle those things easily. Qin Sheng did not need to worry about anything. Anyway, he did not need to pay out of his own pocket anymore.
What was Qin Sheng busy doing? He was busy giving a feast to his group of people, to help them get rid of the ill-fortune, including Chang Baji. During that period, feeling utterly exhausted, everybody was in a poor state of mind. Qin Sheng intended to take advantage of the opportunity that night to cheer everybody up.
Besides Chang Baji, Lyu Yuan, Gu Xiaobo, Vice Managing Director Zhang, who was in charge of the financial affairs, and the Public Relations Manager—Sister Zhen, who had been a female boss in that field for quite many years, were also invited to attend the feast. Afterwards, Qin Sheng granted Sister Zhen and Vice Managing Director Zhang a holiday, asking them to rest well at home until Poly International resumed operations. At that time, of course, Qin Sheng would notify them.
Since Poly International was closed, the group of people, including Qin Sheng, needed to meet somewhere else. Of course, they had no choice but to go to Yunding International. After all, Guangyin LIVE was under renovation.
A group of guys, including Qin Sheng, Chang Baji, Hao Lei, Song Wei, Lyu Yuan, Gu Xiaobo, Gu Qingyang, and Tang She, who had earned Qin Sheng’s recognition, gathered together. Of course, there was no b-girl on the scene. None of them ever sang songs. Accompanied by light music, they just chatted with each other and drunk.
Picking up a glass of wine, Qin Sheng said to the group of people, including Chang Baji, “Due to the issue taking place this time, you suffered from injustice. Thanks a lot for what you did during this period. Anyway, we made it finally. I’d like to make a toast first.”
After Qin Sheng drunk a glass of beer, others picked up the wine glasses close at hand; one after the other, they drank up the wine. That was the first time they faced a setback. Though the things did not work out the way they thought, at least, they solved the problem in the end.
Qin Sheng ordered in a deep voice as he said, “Lao Chang, during this period, take time to rest well first. I plan to get the operation of Poly International resumed one month later. At that time, we can renovate it, change its name, and resume its operation. Let us do this to get through the difficulty this time.” He had already figured out what he would do in the next following days.
Chang Baji nodded quietly as he said, “It’s up to you.”
Qin Sheng immediately added, “Both Brother Luo and Boss Hu exerted their efforts this time. I will invite them to dinner tomorrow. Lao Chang, at that time, you need to accompany me there.” As for the meaning between Qin Sheng’s lines, of course, Chang Baji got it.
After that, Qin Sheng gave out an order as he said, “Brother Song, I will hand over Yun Ding to both you and Hao Lei.”
