What a Coincidence!
Some rich playboys were low-key and modest, while some were arrogant and domineering. This had something to do with their upbringing and personality. However, it was not so easy for ordinary people to integrate into the life of rich playboys. Even if they forced themselves in, they would be out of place. Their lifestyles, circle of friends, speech and behavior were very different.
Qin Sheng felt that in Cao Zhang's eyes, he was just an ordinary person. Although he was Cao Da's assistant, Cao Zhang might think that he was just a worker in their family. For example, he said that night that he could make Qin Sheng lose his job.
However, Cao Zhang apologized to him later. Qin Sheng was a little surprised at that time. Later, when they encountered danger in the parking lot, he also saw Cao Zhang rushing to help with his friends. This made Qin Sheng have a good impression of Cao Zhang, but he still did not think that he could get Cao Zhang's approval in a short time. He did not expect that Cao Zhang would directly call him Brother Qin today.
After Qin Sheng came back to his senses, he smiled and nodded. "I have nothing to do tonight. Let's have a drink at Guangyin. I quite like the atmosphere there. Your band is very good."
"Tonight's class gathering may be very late. How about tomorrow night?" Cao Zhang said truthfully and did not reject Qin Sheng's good intentions.
Qin Sheng said casually, "Okay, then I'll call tomorrow night."
Cao Da's second wife was called Mi Na. She was a very smart woman. She had always been very clear about her position in the family. Many things were handled by her, and she got along well with the son and daughter of the first wife. Although the relationship between the two young masters and the young ladies was sometimes stiff with their biological parents, they were like friends of the same age to her.
Mi Na was also a little surprised. She had never seen Cao Zhang so respectful in front of his peers. Thinking that the two might have a story, it also showed that Qin Sheng was not simple. So she smiled and said, "Qin Sheng, talk to Cao Zhang more when you are free. His gang of scoundrels only knows how to drink and pick up girls."
"Second Mother, you are talking about me again," Cao Zhang said a little embarrassedly.
Qin Sheng chuckled and said, "Second Aunt, I think it's good. Young people should live like this. When I was in college, it was the same."
Mi Na covered her mouth and smiled. "Good, good, good. You are all young people, only I am old."
Cao Ying stared at Qin Sheng, feeling that this man was a smooth talker. She could not see anything special about him. How could he make her father trust him so much and make her brother lower his head?
"Why hasn't Old Cao come over to eat yet?" Mi Na frowned.
Qin Sheng smiled and explained, "Mr. Cao has something urgent to deal with, so he asked us to eat first. He'll come over after he's done with his work."
"Then let's eat first," Mina nodded.
When they were eating, the atmosphere at the dining table was not as serious as when they first came to the Cao family. Mi Na and a few young people were talking and laughing. It was the first time that Qin Sheng saw the rebellious Cao Ying smiling innocently. Thinking of this girl's big sister look that night, Qin Sheng felt a little funny. There was also his youngest daughter, Yu 'er. She was pink and cute, constantly chattering away, causing everyone to be unable to restrain their laughter.
After everyone had finished eating, Cao Da still had not come out of the study. Mi Na and Cao Zhang accompanied Qin Sheng to chat in the living room. Qin Sheng was interested in talking about music with Cao Zhang, but he was definitely not as professional as Cao Zhang. When Cao Zhang talked about music, his eyes were obviously full of vigor. Obviously, he really liked music and was not playing around.
Sometimes, in the eyes of these rich and powerful children, no matter how bright their interests were, in the eyes of their elders, it was just nonsense. For them, only by following the path that they set was the right path.
About an hour later, the nanny walked into the living room and said, "Mr. Qin, Mr. Cao wants you to go to the study."
Hearing this, it was obvious that Cao Da had made up his mind. Qin Sheng nodded to Mi Na and Cao Zhang, then stood up and went to the study.
In the study, Cao Da, who rarely smoked, obviously smoked a lot. The study was filled with smoke. Cao Da opened the window to breathe, only turning around when Qin Sheng came in.
"I didn't expect them to be so unscrupulous in the past two years. The internal situation of the company is more serious than I thought. It may involve a lot of gray transactions," Cao Da said bluntly.
Qin Sheng nodded silently and said, "I'm also very shocked. Just Poly International alone has lost so much money in the past two years. The internal financing is illegal, and the external borrowing is private. They don't care about the group at all. If these things are handed over to the police, it will be enough to keep Qian Buping in jail for more than 10 or 20 years."
"Two years, in just two years, the company that I spent more than 20 years to build up has become like this. It's really sad." Cao Da sighed and said, "From Qian Buping, we can see how big the problems of the other subsidiaries are. Qin Sheng, what do you think we should do?"
"Cut the Gordian knot, scrape the bones to heal the wounds, change the industrial structure, cut off the unnecessary industries and sell them, and build a new Yuan Da," Qin Sheng said thoughtfully.
Cao Da continued to ask, "What should we do with this group of people?"
"This is up to you," Qin Sheng said sensibly.
Cao Da had a lot of things to consider. After all, only he could see the truth behind the fog. Qin Sheng would not make a decision on his own. Cao Da thought about it carefully and said, "I'll think about it. Keep it a secret, don't let others know."
"I understand," Qin Sheng nodded and said.
Cao Da asked curiously, "How did you get these things?"
"I used some special means. But don't worry, I have a sense of propriety," Qin Sheng said confidently.
Cao Da did not ask much. He waved his hand and asked Qin Sheng to go back first. He had to think about it carefully, whether he could make up his mind to do these things. After all, it might cause turmoil, not only the loss of interests, but also a lot of people might be offended.
When Qin Sheng set off from the Golden Coast to Jiuxi Rose Garden, he already knew that he was being followed. Even after he left, this person was still following him. Qin Sheng did not bother to pay attention to him, knowing that he was Qian Buping's man.
Qin Sheng did not plan to go to the company today, because Xue Qingyan was going back to Hangzhou. They made an appointment to drink tea and chat at the Lakeside House. Qin Sheng had nothing to do, so he asked Chang Baji to go with him. Moreover, Xue Qingyan had not seen Chang Baji for more than half a year. When they met in Hangzhou last time, Xue Qingyan was not there.
The Lakeside House Teahouse was quite famous in Hangzhou. The ancient building was close to the West Lake, so it was called Lakeside House, which had a good reputation of sharing the scenery of the lake and the mountain.
Maybe it was early in the morning, there were not many people here. When Qin Sheng and Chang Baji arrived, Xue Qingyan was already sitting in the box with her friends. A beautiful woman was making tea for them, and there were several plates of snacks and fruits on the table.
Xue Qingyan was dressed in plain clothes today, looking very delicate. Seeing Qin Sheng and Chang Baji coming in, Xue Qingyan smiled and teased, "Lao Chang, I knew that as long as Qin Sheng came back, you would definitely appear."
Qin Sheng had told Xue Qingyan before that Chang Baji was back. Xue Qingyan also knew about the gathering in Hangzhou, but she could not attend it at that time because she had something to do.
Chang Baji laughed and said, "No matter how good the scenery is, it is not as good as the smile of a beautiful woman. Miss Xue is still so beautiful and moving."
"This is the first time I heard you praise me," Xue Qingyan pointed at Chang Baji and said. Sitting next to her was a young woman who was dressed very well. She was one of her close friends, so she brought her to Qin Sheng to meet her. Naturally, she still wanted her to take care of Qin Sheng.
After Chang Baji and Qin Sheng got closer, Xue Qingyan then pulled the elegant young woman who was wearing a long gray dress and said, "Let me introduce you guys, this is my best friend, Su Muxue."
Following that, Xue Qingyan introduced Qin Sheng and Chang Baji. Her introduction to Qin Sheng was still as simple as before. This is my younger brother. In the future when I am not in Hangzhou, you have to help me take care of him.
Qin Sheng hurriedly greeted politely, "Hello, Sister Su."
The atmosphere of the few of them was very good. After all, there were two beautiful women around. Coupled with Qin Sheng's glib tongue, the two beautiful women could not stop laughing. Chang Baji did not even need to show off at all. In such occasions, he had always selectively disappeared. Occasionally, he would say a few words that were neither light nor heavy, and did not take away the lead role.
"Qin Sheng, do you have a girlfriend? If you don't, then leave this matter to me. "Su Muxue's character was very good. Although her husband was only a director in the municipal party committee, he was young. His father-in-law retired as a deputy provincial governor, and his uncle was the new deputy governor of the neighboring province. The Su family was also a scholarly family. His grandfather was the deputy principal of Zhejiang University in the past, and his parents were also old professors of Zhejiang University. They could be said to have students all over the world. This kind of background was not to be underestimated in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
Before Qin Sheng said anything, Xue Qingyan smiled and said, "Muxue, you don't have to worry about this. My younger brother's girlfriend is even better than me."
"Oh, there's such a woman. Then I have to see her real face another day," Su Muxue blinked her eyes and said curiously.
Qin Sheng said embarrassedly, "Sisters, please don't make fun of me."
For the entire morning, the few of them just sat there and chatted casually, killing time …
At the same time, in a private room next door, Qian Buping and his brother-in-law, who was known to do both illegal and illegal things, were discussing how to deal with Qin Sheng and Cao Da.
The two of them had been chatting for a long time. Qian Buping said angrily, "Brother-in-law, are you going to help me or not? Cao Da is forcing me to my death. This is also a slap in your face."
Qian Buping's brother-in-law was Yuan Ke. He was only three years older than Qian Buping, but his status was much higher than Qian Buping's. That was because the man standing behind this man was a big shot in Zhejiang, who was comparable to Third Master Wu. As his foster son, Yuan Ke had been able to handle matters in Jiangzhe with ease all these years.
Yuan Ke had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked very imposing. Those who sat with him were all big shots in Zhejiang. Qian Buping could not be compared to them. He had always looked down on Qian Buping. If it was not for his wife, he could not even be bothered to talk to him.
"Are you sure that your manager has been controlled by this young man called Qin Sheng?" Yuan Ke asked while smoking a cigar. He had something to do today. When Qian Buping called him, he politely refused. He did not expect that he would call him several times in a row. He was a little impatient, so he agreed to come over and sit with them. He liked the atmosphere of the Lakeside House very much. He liked to look at the West Lake when he was free. This was the place he often came to.
Qian Buping gnashed his teeth and said, "Who else could it be except him? Brother-in-law, this is not the young man's problem, but Cao Da's problem."
"I don't want to fall out with Cao Da yet. If it doesn't work, I will help you deal with Qin Sheng. We can talk about other things later." Yuan Ke had his own taboo. He and Cao Da would not make things too bad. In today's society, harmony brought wealth. No one wanted to offend too many people.
Qian Buping said anxiously, "Brother-in-law, what if Cao Da does not stop until he is dead?"
"Don't worry. Cao Da will not do that. Even if he wants to deal with you, he will find me. Just wait and see." Yuan Ke said confidently, "Okay, let's call it a day. I have something to do at noon. I will leave first."
Qian Buping had no choice but to let out a long sigh. The two of them got up and prepared to leave …
On the other side, Xue Qingyan, Qin Sheng, and the rest were almost done chatting. Su Muxue said that she would treat everyone to a meal and had already booked a place. Hence, the few of them got up and prepared to leave.
Xue Qingyan said casually, "You guys wait for me downstairs. I will go to the restroom."
There was a restroom in the private room. Su Muxue quickly said that she wanted to go too. It was not good for Qin Sheng and Chang Baji to stay in the private room, so they left first.
When Qin Sheng and Chang Baji pushed the door open and came out, Qian Buping and Yuan Ke, who were in the private room opposite them, happened to come out as well. Behind Yuan Ke were his two bodyguards.
