Guessing for a Long Time
The Qin Family was not the only major shareholder behind the Changan Group. Therefore, although Qin Changan was pushed to be the helmsman of the Changan Group, and the Qin Family was also the biggest shareholder of the Changan Group, the other major shareholders behind them could not be underestimated. Therefore, when they encountered all kinds of major events, they could only make decisions after discussion, not by Qin Changan alone.
Everyone was clear that the reason why the Changan Group could become so powerful today was not only because of Qin Changan's ability, but also because of the complicated background and connections of many major shareholders behind the Changan Group.
Therefore, the Changan Group was not only the Qin Family's Changan Group, but also everyone's Changan Group. It was only because Qin Changan was at the forefront that people subconsciously thought it was the Qin Family's Changan Group.
In that case, the Changan System would not only belong to the Qin Family, and Qin Changan would not really sacrifice himself for the Changan System. He still had to think about the Qin Family. Moreover, before the Changan System was established, Qin Changan had already established a family business for the Qin Family.
Gongsun and Bao Fan belonged to the Qin Family. Gongsun could be considered as Qin Changan's most trusted subordinate. Gongsun was in charge of most of the things in the Qin Family. Apart from Gongsun, Qin Changan had three other trusted subordinates, who were all placed in more important positions. They were Bao Fan in Shanghai, He Yong in Shenzhen, and Song Shixin in the northeast. Although Qin Changan was in trouble now, Gongsun was still there. Therefore, he could still suppress these three people. If Gongsun was not there, people might have already been moved.
Currently, Bao Fan had gained Qin Sheng's trust. Song Shixin in the northeast was restrained by Zhuang Zhou, so he dared not act rashly. Only He Yong in Shenzhen was the most worrying. He was in charge of the Qin Family's interests in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and Macau. If he was not obedient, the Qin Family would suffer heavy losses.
Last time, when Zhao Anzhi went to Shenzhen, she chatted with He Yong a lot. At that time, He Yong's attitude was very firm, which was that he would live and die together with the Qin Family. However, after Qin Changan's accident, He Yong, who was in Shenzhen, made the biggest move. This made Gongsun very unhappy.
Even if Bao Fan, He Yong, and Song Shixin did not have any ideas, who could control the group of people below them? Since ancient times, many great figures had risen to power because they were forcefully pushed up by their subordinates. The most famous example was Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the Song Dynasty, who wore the yellow robe.
Therefore, it was not unreasonable for Bao Fan to ask Qin Sheng to meet the group of people below him. As the heir of the Qin Family, he had to show up in person to control the situation.
The location of the meeting was arranged by Bao Fan. Chang Baji and the rest were a little worried. After all, it was different from the past. Any kind of danger could appear, so they had to be careful. Brother Wu and Ba He brought four bodyguards with them. These bodyguards were the Qin Family's trusted aides and were not from Shanghai.
The address was a high-standard restaurant at Dianshan Lake in Qingpu. Qin Sheng was escorted to Dianshan Lake by Chang Baji and the others. On the way, he received a call from Xue Qingyan, saying that she had returned to Shanghai. She asked when they had time to meet. Qin Sheng said that night, and Xue Qingyan agreed.
Dianshan Lake was a lively place in Qingpu. Qin Sheng had been to the Zhujiajiao Anlu Hotel here before, which was a relatively top hotel in Shanghai. When their three cars arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Bao Fan had been waiting for a long time with his five subordinates who had enough weight.
Bao Fan personally opened the door for Qin Sheng and welcomed him with a smile. "Young Master, thank you."
Qin Sheng patted Bao Fan's shoulder politely. "Uncle Bao, sorry to keep you waiting. It's a little far."
In front of so many outsiders, Qin Sheng still had to give Bao Fan enough respect. They could call each other brothers in private, but if he called Bao Fan Brother Bao, it would be too casual. Uncle Bao was more suitable.
"Young Master, please come in." Bao Fan stretched out his hand respectfully.
At this time, Bao Fan's five confidants looked at Qin Sheng at the same time and said respectfully, "Young Master."
Qin Sheng nodded at them with a smile on his face, which could be regarded as a greeting. He was neither close nor distant. Although he really wanted to know what these people were thinking, it was not the time.
Bao Fan knew that although Qin Sheng had been in Shanghai for so many years, he did not like the cuisines in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. He preferred Sichuan and Hunan cuisines, so he had ordered dishes in advance. Most of them were relatively spicy. Fortunately, this was a restaurant that he liked to entertain VIPs, and they could cook all kinds of cuisines.
The private room was very elegant. There was a beautiful woman playing the zither to liven things up. There was a tea artist waiting by the side. There were a few imitation antiques placed around. At least the atmosphere was not bad. In addition, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing Dianshan Lake made the atmosphere really good.
As the heir of the Qin family, Qin Sheng naturally sat on the main seat. Bao Fan and Chang Baji sat on both sides of Qin Sheng. Brother Wu and Ba He did not sit at the table. In fact, Brother Wu was qualified to sit at the table. He just wanted to take care of Ba He, so the two of them drank tea at the back, and at the same time, they were alert to everyone present.
"Everyone, I think I don't need to introduce this person next to me. Some of you may have met him before, but this is the first time for some of you, but you will be familiar with him in the future. Let us welcome Young Master back to Shanghai." Bao Fan used a language that was not particularly official.
The crowd applauded one after another. Most of them were sizing up Qin Sheng, the future successor of the Qin family and the current backbone of the Qin family. Some of them had seen Qin Sheng before. After all, Qin Sheng had caused quite a stir in Shanghai. Some of them were in charge of other affairs and had not seen Qin Sheng before. It was not until today that they finally saw him in person.
"Young Master, let me introduce you first." After the applause ended, Bao Fan took the initiative to say. He was the person in charge of Shanghai, so naturally, he had to introduce these people to Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng smiled and nodded, waiting for Bao Fan to introduce them.
Bao Fan spoke slowly. Every time he finished introducing a person, that person would stand up and greet Qin Sheng respectfully. Qin Sheng walked over and shook hands with them unhurriedly. This was already very polite, and he could get close to everyone present. After the introduction, the waiter had already served all the dishes.
At this time, Bao Fan also took the opportunity to say, "Since everyone already knows our Young Master, let him say a few words."
Everyone applauded again. Qin Sheng stood up happily. Although it was the first time he had encountered such a scene after returning to the Qin family, he had more or less experienced it before. Even if he had not eaten pork, he had seen a pig run. It was just that during this period of time when he returned to the Qin family, he had never taken the initiative to deal with the affairs of the Qin family. This time, if it was not for Uncle Gongsun's reminder, Qin Sheng thought that he would not do it for a while.
"Shanghai can be considered as my second hometown. I went to university in Shanghai, and I also worked in Shanghai before. After staying here for so many years, I am full of feelings for this place, so I like Shanghai very much. Most of you also know that I used to live with my grandfather, and it has not been long since I returned to the Qin family. However, as the successor of the Qin family, I have to bear this responsibility and pressure. Moreover, now the Qin family is in turmoil, so I have to do all these. Shanghai is an important town of the Qin family, and Uncle Bao is the direct descendant that the old man absolutely trusts. He is also a person that I respect. We have been through a lot before, and some of you also knew me at that time, so Uncle Bao and I know each other very well. We have been friends for a long time, and Uncle Bao is also the closest person to me in the Qin family. I have absolute trust in Uncle Bao, so this time when I come back to Shanghai, I take the initiative to meet with you. "Qin Sheng spoke with fervor and assurance, without any pressure at all. It could be said that these words were at his fingertips.
At least, he grasped the atmosphere and strength skillfully. After saying these words, Qin Sheng continued, "As we all know, the Qin family is in turmoil now, and many people are also anxious. I don't know what others think, and I don't want to guess, but both the Qin family and I have absolute trust in Shanghai. Whether in the past or in the future, Shanghai will be the absolute center of the Qin family. As long as the Qin family gets better and better, we will definitely not treat you badly. Of course, these words are just my words. In this special period, you also have a lot of questions and want to say. Today, you can say what you want to say. Let's take it as a chat between friends. Don't be too shy, and don't care about each other's identities. Thank you. "
"Okay."
After Qin Sheng finished speaking, Bao Fan was the first to applaud. The others also applauded one after another. It could be said that Qin Sheng's speech was logical, sincere, and progressive, which made people applaud. It also made people understand Qin Sheng's ability. If he was just a rich playboy who only knew how to squander, they would naturally be worried about the future of the Qin family.
After the applause stopped, Bao Fan raised his glass and said, "As for the next words, let's talk while eating. Now, let's toast to Young Master together and welcome him home again."
The dinner had just started, and everyone seemed to be in no hurry to express their various opinions or make things difficult for the future successor of the Qin family. Although before Qin Sheng came, Bao Fan had already warned them not to speak carelessly today, or he would not let them off easily, for the sake of their common interests and future, it seemed that they did not intend to give up just like that.
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere became more lively. The others all came forward to toast to Qin Sheng or tried to get closer to him. Of course, Qin Sheng did not refuse any of them. He could still handle this kind of situation. Chang Baji did not drink, and everyone knew his identity. After Bao Fan helped him out, no one came to find him again.
After three rounds of wine, the real confrontation officially began. After Bao Fan's few trusted subordinates looked at each other for a while, someone finally stood up.
His name was Xu Zheng, absolutely Bao Fan's trusted subordinate. Qin Sheng had already met him before, and their relationship was not bad. He toasted to Qin Sheng again, smiled, and said, "Young Master, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask. Maybe it is also what everyone wants to ask, but it may be difficult for you to say it, so I will ask it on your behalf. If we have offended Young Master in any way, I hope Young Master will not be offended."
Hearing Xu Zheng's words, Bao Fan stared at him unhappily and said, "Xu Zheng, sit down and eat."
Qin Sheng's expression changed slightly, but he still remained calm and said, "Uncle Bao, it's okay. Since Brother Xu has a question, let him say it directly."
The lively atmosphere just now instantly froze. Everyone stared at Xu Zheng, waiting for him to say the question that everyone had been guessing for a long time.
Finally, Xu Zheng opened his mouth slowly and said, "Has Master Qin been arrested?"
