The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Remembering the fate of the other powerful families who came to besiege the Qin family today, everyone quickly pulled back their brothers and sisters who wanted to join in the fun, afraid that blood would splatter on them.

Meanwhile, in the main banquet hall.

Zhou Yun had just secured two outsourcing projects from the Qin family, totaling tens of billions of yuan. He was beaming with joy, chatting and laughing with Lin Zhenhai from the Lin family, and was happily preparing to raise a glass in celebration.

A wealthy young man passing by couldn't help but tease, "Zhou Yun, your Zhou family is amazing! I'm truly impressed!"

Zhou Yun was completely confused and quickly asked, "What do you mean?"

"What else could it mean?" the man chuckled, "Your Zhou family heiress is currently displaying her might in the garden, declaring she'll blacklist the Qin family's heiress. That confidence, that audacity—no wonder she's Zhou Yun's son!"

boom!

Zhou Yun was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Zhou Keke! Blacklisting the Qin family's heiress?!

It's over! It's completely over!

The billion-dollar project that they had just secured, all of the Zhou family's partnerships, and decades of accumulated wealth were all about to be destroyed by this foolish daughter!

Zhou Yun's face turned deathly pale. He disregarded everything and ran wildly towards the back garden like a madman.

Standing there stunned, Lin Zhenhai muttered, "Luckily I didn't drink with you, Zhou Laosi, otherwise I'm afraid I would have been caught in the crossfire..."

Qin Zihao also received the news immediately. With a cold face, he got up and walked into the back garden.

In the back garden, Zhou Keke remained arrogant and domineering.

She glared at Zhou Bin and sneered, "I advise you to think this through! Today you insist on protecting Qin Nian'an, but tomorrow I can make sure you're completely removed from the entertainment industry!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhou Yun, his face ashen and filled with rage, rushed over.

When Zhou Keke saw her father arrive, her confidence instantly increased.

"Zhou Bin, my dad's here. If you don't know what's good for you and insist on fawning over this country bumpkin, then I'll—"

Snapped!

Before the threatening words could be finished, a crisp, loud slap suddenly echoed through the back garden.

Zhou Yun delivered a heavy slap, knocking Zhou Keke's head to the side and instantly turning her cheek red and swollen.

The female onlookers were all taken aback and instinctively held their breath.

Zhou Keke was stunned by the slap. She covered her burning, swollen cheek, her eyes instantly turning red. Filled with grievance and confusion, she looked up with tears in her eyes, about to question Zhou Yun about why he hit her.

Snapped!

Another, even harder slap landed!

Two consecutive slaps completely broke Zhou Keke's spirit.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she asked, puzzled, "Dad! Why did you hit me?"

Zhou Yun was furious and sneered, "If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll never know your place!"

He pointed at Qin Nian'an, who was sitting on the flower chair, his tone respectful.

"Do you even know who she is?! She's the apple of the Qin family's eye! The daughter of the host family at today's banquet! How dare you yell at her like that?"

"The Qin family's daughter?"

Zhou Keke's pupils shrank suddenly, her face filled with disbelief.

Is Qin Nian'an the daughter of the Qin family?

How is that possible?!

Isn't she a country bumpkin? How could she possibly be the Qin family's daughter...?

It must be fake...

Just then, Qin Zihao arrived at the scene.

He walked up to Qin Nian'an and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his sister was unharmed.

Then, in a gentle tone, he asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Qin Nian'an gently shook her head, her expression calm: "Brother, I'm fine."

On the other side, Zhou Yun was already terrified. He didn't care about the project or his reputation anymore.

He looked at Qin Zihao, his legs went weak, and he knelt heavily on the ground, pleading desperately.

"Young Master Qin! I have failed in my duty to raise my daughter; it is my fault! I am willing to hand over half of the Zhou family's assets, please be merciful and spare the Zhou family this time!"

Seeing her father so humble, Zhou Keke knew she had offended someone she shouldn't have. She was completely distraught and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Qin Zihao glanced at Zhou Keke indifferently, then gave a stern order to the assistant butler beside him:

"Effective immediately, all outsourcing projects with the Zhou family are terminated, and all government-business ties are null and void. Furthermore, the Zhou family is removed from the Jiangnan region."

Qin Zihao's gaze swept over the entire audience, his voice authoritative and loud.

"Watch closely, anyone who dares to provoke the Qin family's daughter will face the same fate as the Zhou family!"

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone's awe of the Qin family deepened as they looked at Zhou Yun kneeling and begging for mercy, and Zhou Keke, who had lost all face.

With the Zhou family serving as a bloody example before us, from now on, who in the entire Jiangnan social circle would dare to show the slightest disrespect to the Qin family or to Qin Nian'an?

……

On the other side of the hall, in a small meeting room, Chen Jun was again asking Qin Jianjun for support.

With a fawning smile on his face, he said deceitfully:

"Dad, think about it! If I rise to a high position in the future, becoming a provincial governor or provincial party secretary, everyone will know that your son-in-law is a powerful regional official! How prestigious that would be!"

"At that time, who would dare to disrespect you? Everyone would have to fawn over you!"

"Who are you calling 'Dad'? Do you think I acknowledge you?" Qin Jianjun sneered.

"Hey, Dad, I was wrong the day before yesterday, and I sincerely apologize to you!" Chen Jun bowed ninety degrees. He knew that those who wanted to achieve great things must be able to bend and stretch.

Qin Jianjun glanced at Chen Jun, clearly not wanting to discuss the matter, and after taking a sip of tea, asked casually, "Are you saying that people are no longer polite to me?"

Chen Jun's throat tightened instantly, and he quickly tried to smooth things over: "That's different!"

"Now everyone respects you because of the Qin family's money and assets! Behind their backs, countless people gossip that the Qin family only has wealth, not power, and their foundation is ultimately lacking!"

"As you've seen today, which of the top families isn't powerful and influential? With a single command, who dares disobey?"

"When I rise to a high position and gain power in the future, the Qin family will surely be able to rival, no, surpass those ancient aristocratic families!"

Qin Jianjun raised an eyebrow and spoke slowly.

"Didn't a general personally come to thank the Qin family at noon?"

Chen Jun's face stiffened, but he forced himself to continue his sophistry.

"That's still different! The general's visit is for business cooperation; he's just a business partner, not family!"

"I'm different. I'm your son-in-law, a member of the Qin family! When I'm in power, the Qin family is in power. This connection and confidence are something outsiders can't match!"

Qin Jianjun pretended to ponder for a moment, then nodded slightly: "That seems to make sense."

"Yes, yes, that's exactly right!" Chen Jun quickly chimed in.

"Alright." Qin Jianjun casually agreed, but he was determined in his heart that he would not let Qin Zihao take action until the very last moment, unless Chen Jun had suffered enough.

Chen Jun was completely unaware of anything amiss, assuming that Qin Jianjun had been thoroughly convinced by him and was determined to fully support his decision to enter officialdom with his own funds.

The goal of wielding absolute power is within reach!
