Chapter 326 - Big Boss’s Shining Halo

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Qin family’s Fourth Master put down the teacup with a fake smile. “Butler Qin, if you can’t take this project, your share for this year will be 30% as usual.”

After forming an alliance with the Ouyang family and having Ouyang Wei on his side, he already knew that Butler Qin had brought Qin Hanqiu and his son back secretly.

He also knew where Butler Qin was training Qin Hanqiu.

But if Butler Qin was bent on the idea that he could suppress him by cultivating someone randomly, he was gravely mistaken.

Butler Qin remained motionless, but the middle-aged man standing behind him couldn’t conceal his anger.

“Ah Wen.” Butler Qin tilted his head and glanced warningly at him. Then, he turned to Ah Hai, who was standing in front of the computer. “Continue.”

Ah Hai had drunk all night and still had a headache from the hangover.

After inserting the USB flash drive, he directly turned on the projector and opened the folder inside.

Butler Qin had shown them this semi-finished product. With only three people left, even the computer couldn’t run such a large simulation system engine. After a period of time, they had to give up studying it.

These people had fought alongside the Old Master before, but who knew that the Qin family would suffer defeat at their hands.

Ah Hai looked through the folders and thought...

Why were there so many documents? Although slightly surprised, he didn’t read too much into it and just clicked on the top folder. The folder opened and revealed a leaf-shaped main engine.

His unclear mind from the hangover suddenly sobered, and his eyes widened. Having studied the code for a while, how could he not know that the main engine hadn’t even been formed when he saw it the last time? Where did the icon come from?!

He directly clicked on the icon.

Without any original intention of presenting it, Butler Qin hadn’t put on an act, typed out documents, nor designed plans to distribute to the people in the meeting room.

“Butler Qin, you can sign this year’s share agreement.” After failing the bid today, the Fourth Master was in a bad mood and didn’t want to waste time with Butler Qin. Putting his hands on the table, he stood up and said, “Secretary Yin, hand the contract to Butler Qin.”

But there was no movement in the audience after he finished speaking.

“Secretary Yin?” He looked in her direction.

She was staring at the projector. Other than her, most of the people in the audience were staring in disbelief at the projector.

The Fourth Master could only think of one possibility to explain their behavior. He couldn’t help but turn his head.

On the projector, a three-dimensional system was rotating, showing the complete linking concept of the semi-finished product...

The semi-finished product’s concept had first been completed with the Fourth Master’s participation, but the subsequent decoding was too complicated and cumbersome, so the numerous talents had only managed to solve 80% of it.

When he taught Butler Qin the semi-finished product, he never thought that he would succeed with so few staff members. Who knew that he would really succeed?!

“Butler Qin, I’ve really underestimated you.” The Fourth Master’s original expression faded, and he walked over to Butler Qin before laughing maliciously after a long while.

Without saying a single word, he walked out of the meeting room.

After finishing the demonstration, Ah Hai quickly unplugged the USB flash drive and returned to Butler Qin’s side. The depression on his face was swept away, and his eyes were eager. “Butler Qin, which expert did you find? You even kept it from us!”

Butler Qin’s expression was also a little stupefied.

“I didn’t find anyone at all. If I had found an expert, why would I need to be caught in such a dilemma... No!” He suddenly stood up and turned to Ah Wen when a sudden thought crossed his mind.

The two were obviously on the same page. “Second Master!”

There was no change in the USB flash drive in Butler Qin’s hands. It had just been confused with Qin Hanqiu’s.

**

Qin Hanqiu’s side.

Qin Ling was in school, and Butler Qin had miscalculated the document date and hadn’t assigned him a new task, so Qin Hanqiu was a little bored. He decided to call Cheng Juan.

Then, he happily took a bottle of wine and excitedly took a taxi to Ting Lan to have a drink with him.

This was his first visit to Ting Lan. Surveying his surroundings, he nodded incessantly. “This place has a good environment and is close to the school as well. It’s convenient for Ran Ran.”

The two sat down by the floor-to-ceiling window while Cheng Mu took out a few dishes from the refrigerator to accompany the drinks.

“Who’s that?” Cheng Jin didn’t know Qin Hanqiu. So, he lowered his voice and asked Cheng Mu.

It was the first time he saw Master Juan sit down so seriously to chat with someone.

Qin Hanqiu’s face looked raw, and the movements of his hands and legs were also very stiff. Cheng Jin thought for a long time and still couldn’t figure out when Beijing had such a character.

He didn’t recognize his face, either.

Mainly, Qin Hanqiu’s overall aura was too ordinary. He didn’t seem as capable as Cheng Wenru, nor as terrifying as Cheng Juan. He definitely couldn’t attract people’s attention by just standing there, like how Miss Qin did.

Cheng Mu held the teapot and was about to make a pot of tea. Hearing this, he said calmly, “That’s Miss Qin’s father.”

“Miss Qin’s father?” Cheng Jin followed him to the kitchen and fell silent. “No wonder.”

Cheng Mu finished making his pot of tea.

Cheng Jin simply took the teapot from him and went to pour tea for Cheng Juan and Qin Hanqiu.

Frozen in place, Cheng Mu stared at Cheng Jin’s direction in disbelief. “?”

“By the way, Xiao Cheng.” Qin Hanqiu ate a piece of shelled peanut and suddenly remembered Uncle Qiu’s words. “Are you interested in managing companies?”

As soon as he walked over, Cheng Jin heard Qin Hanqiu calling him “Xiao Cheng”...

In Beijing... the only person who dared to address Master Juan as “Xiao Cheng” was Qin Hanqiu.

He was really daring.

“Managing?” Cheng Juan put down his wine glass and said lightly, “I only know how to theorize idly and don’t have much patience. I won’t lie to you.”

Having been forced to read the documents recently, Qin Hanqiu agreed wholeheartedly. “Yeah, there’s actually nothing good about it. It’s not as lively as doing physical labor.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He had gotten lazy after a long period of rest from physical labor.

But he didn’t dare tell Uncle Qiu that he wanted to go back and move bricks again.

The two talked for nearly two hours when Qin Hanqiu’s phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and found that it was Butler Qin calling.

“Where am I now?” Qin Hanqiu hadn’t drunk a lot and his thoughts were clear. “I’m at Xiao Cheng’s house.”

Since he didn’t know the specific address, he asked Cheng Juan for it before reporting it to Butler Qin.

On the phone, Butler Qin said that he would reach in less than twenty minutes.

Qin Hanqiu hung up and felt dissatisfied with the little amount he had drunk. “Why is he looking for me in such a hurry?”

“It should be something urgent.” Cheng Juan had just drunk and couldn’t drive. He thought for a while and said, “I’ll let Cheng Mu take you back.”

“No need, Ran Ran doesn’t like Uncle Qiu.” Qin Hanqiu waved his hand quickly. “Uncle Qiu will wait for me at the community’s gate. I can wait for him by myself.”

Cheng Juan had yet to check Qin Hanqiu’s affairs, but he guessed from the descriptions that this Uncle Qiu was probably a loyal member of the Qin family.

Cheng Juan couldn’t remember if he knew the Qin family. After thinking about it, he sent Qin Hanqiu downstairs and waited three minutes with him. He left in advance when he saw Butler Qin’s car rounding the corner.

By the time Butler Qin and the others parked, they could only see a blurred figure even if they paid more attention.

Furthermore, they had come for Qin Hanqiu and didn’t even notice other people.

“Did Miss call you?” Cheng Juan asked Cheng Mu, looking down at his phone while walking back. His tone wasn’t high and seemed to be lazy and low in spirits.

He was naturally talking about Cheng Wenru.

Cheng Mu followed him. “I called half an hour ago. She took Miss Qin to dinner and will return at night.”

“At night?” Cheng Juan squinted.

Qin Ran had to go back to school tomorrow.

Outside Ting Lan apartment’s gate.

Ah Wen got down from the driver’s seat. “Second Master, why are you here?”

He looked up at the community’s name — Ting Lan.

This area had all the luxury-grade high-end apartments. A lower-end set was 90 million and above, and the price would double if it was a duplex floor.

It was one of the top luxury mansions in Beijing.

“I came to find Xiao Cheng for a drink.” Qin Hanqiu opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

“Xiao Cheng” again?

Ah Wen felt secretly surprised. After finding those gift bags this morning, he had already guessed that this “Xiao Cheng” wasn’t simple...

But he didn’t expect him to actually live in Ting Lan?

“Uncle Qiu.” Qin Hanqiu fastened his seat belt and glanced sideways behind him. “You’re looking for me in such a hurry. What’s the matter?”

At this time, Qin Hanqiu discovered that there was another person wearing glasses sitting behind, who looked to be of the same age.

Ah Wen had already started the car and was driving toward Yunjin Community.

Butler Qin couldn’t wait till they returned. He turned to stare at Qin Hanqiu. “Second Master, who touched the USB flash drive that I gave to you?”
