said with a calm face: "I just came back from the army and am temporarily unemployed."When Qin Yi heard Yang Chen's words, her face turned very ugly and she was somewhat angry."Well, it turns out you'...Chapter 10

The next morning, the top floor of Sanhe Group.

Every Monday is the company's weekly meeting, at which time all of Qin's direct descendants gather around the conference table.

"Qin Xi, I heard your husband, who disappeared five years ago, is back"

The man speaking was Qin Xi's cousin, Qin Fei. Seeing Qin Xi enter the conference room, he wore a grinning smile.

"He didn't come back. What does that have to do with you" Qin Xi frowned, asking back.

"It has nothing to do with me. But the Qin family fell into ruin because of your feud, otherwise, they would have become one of Jiangzhou's top families by now."

Qin Fei wore a strange, sinister expression and continued, "If it were another woman, after something like this happened, she wouldn't have the face to live. I never expected you to still have the face to give birth to such a bastard, you are simply a disgrace to the Qin family."

"Shut up!" Qin Xi stood up abruptly, her face contorted with fury.

You can say anything about her, but her daughter is off-limits. That's her Achilles' heel; you can't even mention it, let alone touch upon it.

All the direct descendants of the Qin family in the house, not a single person stood up to speak for Qin Xi. They all looked on with schadenfreude, waiting to see the drama unfold.

"Grandpa's here!"

Qin Fei was about to speak when suddenly a sound of footsteps came from the door. He gave Qin Xi a cold glance and remained silent.

Then, an elderly man with silver hair, the head of the Qin family, entered the conference room and sat in the chairman's seat.

The Qin family has many companies under its umbrella, but the Sanhe Group stands out as the most successful. Four years ago, after Old Master Qin brought Sanhe Group back into the family fold, it became the family's main base of operations.

Every time she sat here for a meeting, Qin Xi felt a pang of pain in her heart. This was the industry she had built with her own hands, but now it belonged to the family. Even though she had countless grievances, everything was set in stone.

Although Old Master Qin was elderly, he showed no sign of stepping down and yielding to younger generations. Instead, he held onto the position of head of the family with a tight grip.

He swept his gaze over the crowd and then spoke, "Last month, the Yuwen family of Yan City established a branch in Jiangzhou. For this period of time, they have been in preparation. I got the latest news that the branch will officially open in these few days. Countless aristocratic families are vying to cooperate with the Yanzhen Group, and our Qin family absolutely cannot fall behind. It can be said that whether the Qin family can join the ranks of first-class families depends on whether we can secure a cooperation with the Yanzhen Group."

Hearing the grandfather's words, everyone was invigorated. Someone directly asked, "Grandfather, if we can secure a partnership with Yanci Group, will there be any rewards"

The old man glanced at the speaker and sneered: "If anyone can secure the contract with Yanchen Group, they will be able to take the seat of the chairman of Sanhe Group."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. In order to secure a partnership with Yanchen Group, the old man was willing to offer Sanhe Group as a reward.

Qin Xi clenched her red lips tightly. The Sanhe Group originally belonged to her, and wanting to get the cooperation of Yanci Group was obviously difficult, otherwise, the old man wouldn't have used the position of chairman as a reward.

For a moment, all eyes darted between Qin Xi and Qin Fei.

One is the most valued eldest grandson of the old master, and the other is exceptionally talented. These two are now deeply loved by the old master, but everyone present knows in their hearts that the Sanhe Group truly belongs to Qin Xi.

Qin Fei, of course, also knew the importance of this cooperation. He stood up first and said with a smile: "Grandpa, I think we need to consider this cooperation in the long term."

“Oh” the old man asked. “What do you think”

Qin Fei said, "To be honest with you, Grandpa, I started preparing when Yanchen Group just established its Jiangzhou branch. However, the threshold of Yanchen Group is very high. I spent a lot of effort and connections to get things moving, but it's still difficult to secure a partnership."

"Xiao Fei is doing well. Although he hasn't secured the partnership yet, he has at least started taking action and made some connections. Once the meeting ends, you find finance and apply for one million dollars in working capital." The old man said very generously.

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Qin Fei was overjoyed at once.

Others looked on with envy.

Qin Fei suddenly glanced at Qin Xi meaningfully, then continued, "Grandpa, although I also really want to secure this cooperation, it's difficult for me to do it alone. After all, in the face of Yanchen Group, the Qin family is just one of many small families. Why would they cooperate with us"

"Since you say so, do you have any good ideas" the old man asked.

Qin Fei smiled: "I got insider information that the Yanchen Group will not choose some small families for this cooperation. Just on this point, we are no longer qualified to talk about it. So we can choose a family with a similar scale to the Qin family to join forces."

"Xiao Fei, your proposal is very good. Keep going." The old man became more and more satisfied as he listened.

Qin Fei smiled: "Grandpa, Wang Jian, the young master of the Wang family, has been pursuing Xiao Xi. Wang Jian has made it clear that as long as Xiao Xi marries him, there will be absolutely no problem with the cooperation."

All eyes turned to Qin Xi. Qin Xi's face changed drastically and she hurriedly said, "Grandpa, I'm already married. How can I marry someone else"

"Xiao Xi, everyone knows about you and that good-for-nothing. Right after you got married, he disappeared for five years. There's no love between you two. You'd be better off marrying Wang Jian. At least he can help the family. He's way stronger than that useless nobody." The old man said to Qin Xi.

Qin Xi tightly pursed her red lips, her face full of determination, and shook her head, saying: "Grandpa, this life, I belong to Yang Chen, and he is my only husband."

"Bang!"

The old man slapped the table with a resounding boom, his face contorted in anger. "Five years ago, if it weren't for you and that scoundrel's scandal, the Qin family would have already been among the top families. Do you intend to ruin the Qin family's future again five years later"

Qin Xi bit her red lips, clenching her fists tightly. She didn't even notice that her nails had pierced into her palm because the pain in her heart was even greater at this moment.

The Qin family's current status is entirely due to the Sanhe Group. The old man not only fails to acknowledge her contributions to the family, but instead blames her for the family's failure to become a top force.

"That's it then. After the meeting, I'll personally contact the head of the Wang family and discuss the marriage alliance."

The old man immediately made a decision without considering whether Qin Xi wanted to agree.

"I'm still alive and well, yet you want my wife to remarry. She refuses to do it, so when did it become anyone else's business"

Just then, a voice as cold as ice suddenly rang out, and then a familiar figure appeared in the conference room.

Amongst the shock of the Qin family's direct descendants, Yang Chen walked to Qin Xi's side and sat down, looking at her with a soft face: "I said, from now on, I will never allow anyone to hurt you."appoint me.”Yang Chen stood by the large floor-to-ceiling window, a smile on his face."Brother Chen, wouldn't the government be like the Yang family, acting one way in public and another behind closed...
