Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 348 Changing Successors

Three days later, Qian Huai'an ordered Qian Xingjie and his sister Qian Ke'er to return. At that moment, Qian Xingjie knew that the time had come.

In the main hall of the Qian family, all the elders were present, and the younger generation was also present, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

As soon as Qian Ke'er arrived, the most respected elder stood up and began to speak.

"I've called everyone here today to announce something very important. We older folks are getting old and our physical strength isn't what it used to be. We can't handle many things at the company anymore, so it's up to you young people to step up. After thinking it over, we've decided to let Ke'er take on this important responsibility!"

Qian Huai'an was the eldest son of their generation, with three younger brothers. Although they had both sons and daughters, theoretically the family business should be inherited by men. However, because Qian Huai'an held the most power and the most shares in the company, he was the most important. Naturally, no one else could be the successor of the Qian family company. For him, there was no such thing as passing the business down to men.

Therefore, whoever he decides to be, that's who it is. Unless he voluntarily gives up, the spot will definitely belong to Qian Ke'er, and even Qian Xingjie, his son with no blood relation, won't get it.

Upon hearing this, no one was surprised; at most, they were indignant. After all, they all shared the surname Qian, were from wealthy and noble families, and had the same blood flowing through their veins. Why should Qian Ke'er be chosen as the successor?

What abilities does she have? She's just a pampered young lady who's never lifted a finger. How could a woman possibly manage a thousand families' businesses? Are you kidding me?
But even if they wanted to, with Qian Huai'an in charge, who dared to say anything? Everyone had to keep quiet no matter how dissatisfied they were.

As for Qian Ke'er herself? She naturally didn't like managing the company's affairs, but Qian Huai'an had done a lot of work with her on this matter. She knew the importance of it all. Once she gave it up, it would be impossible to get it back in the future. This was the only chance, so even if she was unwilling a hundred or a thousand times, she had to agree.

Congratulations, Ke'er!

"I am confident that I can shoulder this important responsibility!"

"Kerr, keep it up! We believe in you!"

The other younger relatives from the collateral branches offered insincere blessings, and Qian Xingjie thanked them one by one on behalf of Qian Ke'er, maintaining his image as a good older brother.

"Since everyone agrees, then this matter is settled. Next, Ke'er, this is the share transfer agreement. Once you sign your name, you will be the chairman of Qian's Company!"

The younger members of the collateral branches craned their necks to watch, filled with envy and jealousy.

Qian Ke'er looked at Qian Huai'an and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your recognition and support, uncles and elders. I will work hard!"

As I picked up the pen, just as I was about to finish the last word...

"Master, a young man is in a hurry to see you, saying he has something very important to say!" the butler announced as he entered.

Qian Huai'an said impatiently, "We can talk about it later!"

"It will be too late to talk about this later. Do you really intend to hand over the Qian Corporation to a woman with a messy private life?"

Upon seeing the young man who barged in, Qian Ke'er looked terrified. Ah Long?

"Hi! Miss Ke'er, long time no see, you've become even more beautiful!" Ah Long waved and greeted Qian Ke'er in an ambiguous manner.

Seeing this, everyone was even more puzzled.

Could it be that these two people know each other?
"This guy is a scoundrel, butler, throw him out!" Qian Ke'er ordered in a panic.

The butler immediately sent bodyguards over.

"Miss Ke'er, I've been so good to you, how can you be so heartless to me? Have you forgotten all the nights we spent together?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know you at all. Get out of here, housekeeper, quick!" Qian Ke'er's face was flushed, and anyone could see the tension and panic on her face.

"What's going on? Could what this boy is saying be true?"

"Who knows? Could Ke'er really be that kind of person?"

"They might just be trying to scam you!" "Gentlemen, you don't know, do you? I have some fascinating stories about Miss Ke'er. What you see is only the surface. Everyone says your Qian family has strict rules and a serious demeanor, ha! What a joke!"

"Shut up!" Qian Ke'er turned to Qian Huai'an. "Dad, he's definitely a liar. Rather than let him insult our Qian family like this, let's see what evidence he can produce to prove everything he's saying, so we can shut up the gossip and stop damaging our Qian family's reputation!"

The other elders from the Qian family all agreed, "Xingjie is right!"

Qian Huai'an finally relented, "Fine, then I'll see if you can't produce anything. I won't let you off easily! Let him go!"

"Dad, we can't let him go! He's a liar! Don't believe him! There's really nothing to him!" Qian Ke'er was frantic.

Qian Huai'an comforted her, "Don't worry, Ke'er, Dad will stand up for you!"

"Yes, Ke'er, don't be afraid!" Qian Xingjie said hypocritically.

Qian Ke'er was on the verge of tears, watching helplessly as A Long held up his phone for everyone to see, "You're all familiar with the female protagonist in this video, right?"

The girl in the video was completely naked, crawling on the ground like a dog among several men, surrounded by sinister laughter and lewd giggles.

The scene was disturbing, but the girl's face was clearly visible.

Within seconds, everyone present was speechless.

There are also photos of Qian Ke'er fooling around in bars and giving money to A Long.

Qian Ke'er lunged forward, snatched the phone, and smashed it to the ground, shattering it into pieces. "Don't look at it anymore, it's fake, all fake!" Ah Long shrugged and grinned sinisterly. "Whatever, I have a backup!"

"Oh my god, these videos are all over the internet!"

Someone said something, and Qian Huai'an, who had been wearing a gloomy face, quickly opened his phone to search. Sure enough, these videos were everywhere.

"Really? I never expected Ke'er to look so innocent and pure on the surface, but actually..."

"You can know a person's face but not their heart, tsk tsk!"

"A person like her is completely unfit to lead the Qian family. She will make our entire Qian family a laughing stock!"

"In my opinion, it's necessary to change the successor of the Qian family!"

Hearing these words, Qian Huai'an felt immense pressure. He steadied himself and quickly calmed down, "Name your price? How much will it take for you to delete all of this?"

Ah Long seized the initiative, "Well, that depends on whether the Qian family is sincere!"

"Ten million. Delete all of this within five minutes, or I'll make sure you don't leave alive!" Every word Qian Huai'an uttered was sharp and ruthless.

Ah Long grinned and said, "Of course, of course. Since you've spoken, Master Qian, it would be disrespectful of me not to cooperate!"

Qian Huai'an kept his word and immediately had ten million transferred to A Long. Upon receiving the transfer, A Long deleted the videos and photos in front of everyone. "Don't worry, I'm a person of my word. From now on, you will never see those things again!"

The man swaggered away, while Qian Ke'er went mad.

"Dad, I..."

"Snapped!"

Qian Huai'an slapped her hard across the face.
