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

After seeing Bai Lingxi off, Qin Zihao turned around and returned to the tea break room.

Upon opening the door, a thought-provoking scene unfolds before your eyes.

Li Haitao, Chen Wenbin, and Ma Hongming sat upright in their seats, each with a furrowed brow and a serious expression. They were deep in thought, glancing at each other from time to time, hesitant to speak.

Lu Cheng'an stood to the side, his expression equally solemn, his eyes filled with doubt.

They couldn't figure out the origins of the Qin family's ancestors.

After Qin Zihao sat down, he looked at Qin Zheng and asked curiously:

"Grandpa, who exactly were our Qin family ancestors?"

His curiosity was no less than that of the others present.

These words acted as a fuse, instantly causing the three people who had been pondering for a long time to look up abruptly.

They pricked up their ears, held their breath, and stared at Qin Zheng with anticipation in their eyes.

Qin Zheng simply leaned back slowly in his armchair, his hands casually clasped in front of his abdomen, his expression languid and composed, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Then, feigning profundity, he said:

"The Qin family has a long and rich history, and many talented people have emerged from it. I really don't know where to start with the story right now."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat, their breathing instantly slowed, and their whole body tensed up.

coming!

The main event is about to begin!

But the next second, Qin Zheng gently shook his head and stretched as if he were sleepy.

"It's late. We'll tell you the specific origins of the Qin family's ancestors after that little girl from the Bai family has investigated them."

what?

After expectations were dashed.

The tense, excited expressions on Li Haitao and the other two's faces froze completely, instantly turning into expressions of astonishment and helplessness.

Qin Zheng is deliberately teasing us and making us agonize over the situation!

Saying half of what you mean is more agonizing than saying nothing at all.

But Qin Zheng didn't want to speak, so they had no choice but to suppress their curiosity.

Everyone sighed inwardly, silently hoping that Bai Lingxi could quickly find out the origin of the dragon-shaped jade pendant and uncover the origin of the Qin family's ancestors, so that they wouldn't have to live in fear every day because of uncertainty.

As night deepened, undercurrents were stirring in the Jiangnan business district.

Previously, the Xie family had ordered a complete blockade of the supply chain, and countless downstream raw material companies, in order to please the Xie family and avoid risks, gritted their teeth and refused to supply the Qin family.

But tonight, all the downstream business owners received a new notification from the Xie family:

The ban on suppressing the Qin family has been completely lifted.

For a time, countless bosses sat in their offices, their faces full of embarrassment and complex expressions.

They had just completely aligned themselves with the Qin family and abandoned them when the Xie family suddenly withdrew, leaving them caught in the middle. Their previous firm break instantly turned into a huge joke.

Many people were sweating profusely, feeling anxious and fearful that the Qin family would hold a grudge and seek revenge later.

After all, they still need to do business and make a living in Jiangnan Province.

Someone immediately asked in the group chat:

Will the Qin family hold a grudge against us and completely refuse to accept our raw materials?

Soon, the Xie family's contact person said something reassuring.

"The Qin family wouldn't dare."

These four simple words conveyed the Xie family's absolute control and confidence.

All the downstream business owners breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease.

As long as the Qin family is still willing to accept their goods, everything is negotiable.

A night passes in the blink of an eye.

The next morning, as dawn broke, a gentle breeze blew through the Qin residence courtyard, filling it with the delicate fragrance of flowers.

The family gathered in the front hall for a meal, creating a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere.

After the meal, everyone sat and rested for a while. Qin Zheng suddenly looked up at Qin Jianjun and his wife and spoke casually.

"Boss, would you and your wife like to go to the capital?"

Qin Jianjun and his wife exchanged a glance, their faces full of doubt, and asked in bewilderment:

"Dad, why go to the capital? It's such a long and tiring journey."

Qin Zheng casually replied, "Let's go have some fun and take care of some things while we're at it."

Yesterday, Lu Cheng'an told him that an auction for the picking quota of the top-grade tea Songzhong No. 1 would be held in the capital.

This level of rare and precious tea is so sought after that it is priceless and difficult to find even at a high price.

Top-quality teas are allocated their annual share through auctions of harvesting rights.

He originally didn't want to go and planned to have Lu Cheng'an hold up the sign and win the bid.

But after learning about the backgrounds of the four ancient families of Wang, Bai, Li, and Xie last night, he changed his mind.

The Qin family currently lacks both a strong business foundation and extensive connections at the top.

To truly establish oneself in the elite circles and avoid being controlled by any powerful family, one must cultivate connections with top figures in various sectors.

The capital city is a gathering place for powerful and influential people, making it the perfect place to expand one's network.

Besides bidding for the famous tea, he also wanted to pay a special visit to General Lin Guolong to solidify his connections within the military and inquire about any important figures the Qin family could potentially win over.

It was inappropriate for anyone else in the Qin family to attend to such an important matter; only he could go in person.

Qin Jianjun thought for a moment, realizing that there might be a greater chance of encountering imperial green jadeite of the Dragon Stone variety in Beijing, and immediately took Zhao Lin's hand and nodded in agreement.

"Dad, my wife and I will go with you."

Zhao Lin let Qin Jianjun hold her hand, and gave him a coquettish glare.

Qin Jianjun snapped out of his daze, grinned, and let go of her hand.

Qin Zheng turned to look at Qin Mao and Xu Qinghe, his expression gentle, and asked with a smile:

"Second brother, Qinghe, where are you two?"

Qin Mao's cheeks flushed slightly. He turned to look tenderly at Xu Qinghe beside him and asked softly, "Qinghe, would you like to go to the capital?"

Xu Qinghe shook his head. He preferred spending time alone with Qin Mao to going to the capital.

Qin Zheng smiled knowingly and didn't try to persuade him any further.

Finally, his gaze fell on Qin Zihao.

"Grandson, what about you?"

Qin Zihao shook his head and said:

"Grandpa, I've been a bit busy lately and can't leave the Genting Building."

Qin Zheng nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval.

He knew that Qin Zihao was currently establishing himself in Jiangnan, laying a solid business foundation for the Qin family, and every step was crucial, so he was indeed too busy to be in two places at once.

When we need to visit Lin Guolong at the Lin family, let him make the trip again.

Zhou Hongyi also shook his head:

"Dad, I'm planning to enter the catering industry, but I can't get away right now. How about Hui Rong goes with you?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Third brother, she's completely obsessed with the fashion world. I heard there's some kind of press conference these days, and she probably won't be able to leave Jiangnan Province."

Qin Huirong said slyly, "Dad, it's fine if my eldest brother and sister-in-law go with you. Too many people will make things inconvenient for you, won't it? I don't want you to go through all that trouble. See how thoughtful I am!"

Qin Zheng shook his head and smiled helplessly, "You..."

Qin Ziyang watched eagerly as everyone discussed the trip, filled with anticipation, waiting for his grandfather to ask for his opinion.

What he wants to do most right now is to get away from Jiangnan, avoid Wang Zhaoyue, and escape those frequent live-streaming invitations and close contact.

He would immediately agree as soon as his grandfather asked.

But as the trip to Beijing was about to be finalized, his grandfather never asked him a single question.

Qin Ziyang finally couldn't hold back any longer. His face was full of grievance and dissatisfaction, and he took the initiative to protest.

"Grandpa, why didn't you ask my opinion? I could go to the capital with you!"

Qin Zheng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at him with a teasing smile in his eyes and slowly spoke.

"You? What are you going to the capital for?"

"That little girl from the Wang family has been making it clear lately that she's been asking you to play with her every day and interacting with you live on stream. Now that you're gone, who will keep her company?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ziyang's face instantly turned ugly, and his eyes were filled with embarrassment.

He never expected that his grandfather had seen through his little scheme all along.

He originally intended to use his trip to the capital to avoid Wang Zhaoyue and these entanglements, but he didn't expect his grandfather to see through him at a glance.

Qin Zheng was hoping that Qin Ziyang would get to know Wang Zhaoyue better and try to win her over, so he hadn't originally planned to include him in the plan.

He made the final statement:

"This time, let the eldest son and his wife accompany me to the capital."

At Jiangnan Huanyu Private Airport, the runway is spotless, and the morning light casts a dazzling golden glow.

In the very center of the tarmac, a top-of-the-line Gulfstream G700 sits quietly, its streamlined, luxurious fuselage and all-white body gleaming in the sunlight.

This is the private large aircraft that the Qin family purchased earlier, and even the exclusive flight route has already been ordered.

You can set off anytime, anywhere to travel to all parts of the country.

Outside the cabin, the entire dedicated aviation team stood upright and in perfect order, all holding their breath with utmost respect.

The moment the Qin family bought the private jet, the subordinate contract signed with the Qin family was delivered to them.

To be able to serve the Qin family's travel needs is the highest honor for them.

It's definitely not because of the triple salary and the fact that they would have a lot of free time as long as the Qin family didn't have any travel plans that they were happy about.

Standing by the boarding gate, Qin Zheng, dressed in a simple, plain-colored Tang suit, exuded a calm and composed demeanor.

He turned around, his gaze falling on Qin Zihao in front of him. He slowly raised his hand and gently patted the other's shoulder.

The force was not heavy, but it carried a profound sense of expectation and trust.

"Grandson, Grandpa will be away from home for a while, so you need to keep this family running smoothly."

A simple sentence, without any further instructions.

Qin Zihao raised his head slightly and met his grandfather's deep, determined, and encouraging gaze, and a surge of hot blood welled up in his chest.

He instinctively straightened his body, his eyes were firm, and he nodded emphatically.

Qin Jianjun and Zhao Lin stood beside Qin Zheng, smiling as they watched their son's increasingly upright posture.

Their Zihao is becoming more and more mature and steady!

Qin Mao, Qin Huirong, Qin Ziyang, and others stood by the tarmac, watching the three board the plane.

As the boarding door slowly closed, a soft roar of the engines sounded, and the aircraft entered takeoff standby mode.

Only when the private plane slowly taxied and headed towards the runway, completely out of sight, did everyone turn their attention away.

Qin Mao turned to the side, carefully looking Qin Zihao up and down. His eyes were full of sincere approval. He raised his hand and patted Qin Zihao's arm, speaking in a hearty voice:

"Nephew, not bad!"

Qin Huirong's eyes were gentle, her face was full of smiles, and her tone was full of satisfaction:

"I used to think Zihao was still immature. I heard from Dad that he even hid in the corridor and cried all night. But now, he can steadily support the whole family and shoulder all the burdens of the Qin family."

Qin Zihao blushed and glanced at his aunt with a reproachful look.

Qin Huirong covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Zhou Hongyi and Qin Ziyang both expressed their sincere praise for Qin Zihao.

Surrounded and praised by the crowd, Qin Zihao slightly raised his head and straightened his chest.

The boy's youthful naiveté had faded, replaced by a sense of composure and pride in managing the family business.

Meanwhile, in the Jinmao Commercial District, at the top-floor conference hall of the Genting Tower.

The huge conference room was packed, the atmosphere was oppressive and anxious, and the air was thick with trepidation and longing.

Today, two completely different groups of people have gathered in the building, but they share the same goal.

That is to ask the Qin family to accept them and renegotiate the cooperation agreement.

The first group consisted of downstream raw material company owners who had previously followed the Xie family's lead, cut off the Qin family's supply chain overnight, and refused to supply goods.

The second group consisted of the wealthy upper-class people from Jiangnan who had completely severed ties with the Qin family yesterday, publicly sided with them, abandoned all cooperation, and wanted to wait for the Qin family to be destroyed.

Yesterday, these wealthy individuals were resolute in their stance, convinced that if the Xie family made a move, the Qin family would be destroyed. They were willing to sever all ties with the Qin family, hoping to wait for the Qin family's demise so they could then side with the Xie family, divide up the Jiangnan market, and ride the coattails of a top-tier aristocratic family.

But overnight, everything changed dramatically.

The Xie family suddenly withdrew completely, abandoning all their plans to suppress the Qin family, and the turmoil between the Qin and Xie families abruptly subsided.

This news caught them completely off guard, disrupting all their plans and arrangements.

What really blew them away was that this morning, the downstream suppliers who had initially refused to cooperate took the initiative to approach them, completely changing their attitude and saying they could renew the contract, ship the goods immediately, and do everything they could to ensure supply.

Upon further questioning, they learned the reason: the Xie family had voluntarily let the Qin family go.

At that moment, everyone felt nothing but endless absurdity and frustration.

Yesterday, they risked their family's foundation, ruthlessly severing ties with the Qin family and offending all Qin-related forces. In the end, the top family simply said they would back down, and all the turmoil vanished.

And they became the most ridiculous and cheapest cannon fodder in this power struggle among powerful families.

Qin Zihao's powerful warning from yesterday still rings in my ears: As long as the Qin family exists, there will be no place for you in Jiangnan.

They originally hoped that the Xie family would destroy the Qin family, thereby protecting their own market and even attaching themselves to the Xie family to obtain resources.

But now their dreams have shattered, and they have become utterly alone and helpless.

They also asked around to inquire with the Xie family, hoping to pay tribute and become dependent on them, seeking some protection.

But the Xie family was so arrogant that they looked down on their meager wealth and status, and didn't even give them a reply or a glance.

The harsh reality has given everyone a rude awakening.

In the eyes of true ancient aristocratic families, these local tycoons were nothing more than pawns that could be discarded and manipulated at will, utterly worthless.

With nowhere else to turn, they had no choice but to swallow their pride and rush to the Cloud Top Building, humbly begging the Qin family to forgive their past transgressions and accept them back.

In the far corner of the conference room sat three incongruous young figures, completely out of place with the tense and oppressive atmosphere around them.

Jiang Lei and Guo Fan sat upright, their backs straight, their eyes bright, filled with anticipation and nervousness.

The two had been unemployed until last night when they suddenly received a message from Qin Zihao asking them to come to Genting Highlands today, where he would arrange work for them.

They were overjoyed when they received the message.

For them, what kind of work they do is not important; what matters most is that Brother Hao is willing to take them under his wing.

They didn't ask any further questions and immediately agreed.

Meanwhile, Zhou Erniu was very casual, dressed in simple casual clothes, holding a cup of warm milk tea in his hand, with a lazy and indifferent expression, completely ignoring the anxious atmosphere in the conference room, just sipping his milk tea with his head down, completely at ease.

What others didn't know was that Zhou Erniu had gone to his supervisor last night and announced his decision to close the company, which surprised everyone.

Just as everyone held their breath and waited, their emotions churning, the conference room door was pushed open from the outside.
