chapter 29 Dad won't lie

Randy Ling hadn't anticipated that the discussion would center around the Dongzhou Building contract, and for him, a three-year contract was a walk in the park. "Who are you to speak here?" Jemima Qin angrily interjected. "Jemima Qin, do you have a hearing problem or a mental disorder? Didn't you hear my sister? He's my brother-in-law!" Lucinda Qin retorted loudly. She then turned to Andrew Qin, demanding, "Grandpa, my brother-in-law is asking you a question; please give us a straight answer!" In truth, Lucinda had no clue about securing the Dongzhou Building contract. However, for some inexplicable reason, she felt that Randy Ling might have a solution since he raised the question. It was essential to understand that if Qin family products could be showcased at Dongzhou Commercial Building, the company's brand would take a quantum leap. In the long run, the benefits would far exceed the value of the 20% shares. Moreover, the monetary conversion of those shares wasn't in his hands; financial maneuvers could change that. Sipping his tea, he continued to gaze at Randy Ling and stated, "However, there must be a timeframe for this endeavor. We can't afford to wait for decades. I must honor my word!" "Of course!" Andrew Qin replied after sipping his tea. "As long as you secure the Dongzhou Building contract for three years, I will not only fulfill my previous promise but also compensate you for the dividends of the past few years' 20% shares." For him, the 20% shares were trivial if he could secure the Dongzhou Commercial Building contract. "Very well! It's settled then. I hope you won't regret it when the time comes!" Randy Ling continued confidently. "This won't take decades; it will be done in a day!" Some in the room couldn't help but think, what level of boasting was this? Could he really secure the contract for Dongzhou Building in just one day? It was almost like saying Dongzhou Building was already his! "Be prepared to sign the contract before the end of tomorrow's workday!" Before he could finish, the banquet hall erupted in ridicule, with everyone staring at him as if he were a fool. "Randy Ling, don't be absurd!" Nohe Qin said with a frown. Davina Shen, on the other hand, had lost her energy for cursing after her earlier outburst. She glanced at Randy Ling in complete speechlessness and stopped yelling. "Uncle, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Randy Ling gave Nohe Qin a calm look. Lucinda Qin, who had initially had some faith in Randy Ling, couldn't help but roll her eyes and twitch the corner of her mouth several times. "This random brother-in-law is so unreliable; he's making us look bad!" "Haha, can you really secure the Dongzhou Building contract in one day?" Maud Qian, a young man near Jemima Qin, sneered. "Do you understand how hard it is to get into Dongzhou Building?" "Who are you?" Randy Ling looked at him calmly. "When the Qin family is discussing matters, why are you so chatty?" "Grandpa, don't worry. If Dad says he can do it, he'll do it. Dad is a great hero, and he won't go back on his word," Viola's childlike voice chimed in. "Viola is so good. Dad promises you that he can do it," Randy Ling reassured her with a kiss on the forehead. "Yeah!" Viola declared loudly. "I believe Dad!" "Furthermore, just yesterday, Qian's Jewelry successfully secured a one-year contract with Dongzhou Building!" "Wow! That's impressive!" Randy Ling smiled faintly. "Rubbish!" Jemima Qin continued. "Master Qian asked someone to help us establish connections to get Qin family products featured in Dongzhou Building!" "Master Qian is my boyfriend; why shouldn't he speak?" Jemima Qin added coldly. "So you're a... witch! What a name!" Randy Ling smirked. "You seem to have a powerful background. Care to introduce yourself?" "Young Master Qian is the eldest son of the Qian family in Dongzhou, and Qian's Jewelry, owned by the Qian family, is the largest jewelry company in Dongzhou!" Jemima Qin said with a note of pride. "You'd better hurry back and handle your business at Dongzhou Building. Ensure your contract doesn't fall through, or you'll be in for a rough time." "Hmph!" Maud Qian snorted. "You're clueless; don't you know what's written in black and white? Our contract is already in effect!" "Even a valid contract can be terminated! At worst, Dongzhou Commercial Building can pay for the contract breach," Randy Ling remarked casually. "Really?" Randy Ling smiled again. "Then you'd better hurry; otherwise, you might miss the opportunity." "Ignorant!" Maud Qian scoffed. "If you can secure the Dongzhou Building contract in one day, I'll call you Daddy!" "Haha, I'd rather you didn't!" Randy Ling raised his eyebrow. "Davina, wait for me," Nohe Qin said, following suit. Five minutes later, the family piled into the car, and Randy Ling hit the accelerator. "Brother-in-law, could you at least prepare when you decide to brag?" Lucinda Qin pouted as the car pulled away. Ignoring Lucinda, he turned to Nohe Qin and his wife. "Uncle, Aunt, let's go. I'll treat you to a better restaurant for dinner." Davina Shen glanced at him silently once more, then turned and walked toward the door. Though she didn't believe that Randy Ling could secure the Dongzhou Commercial Building contract, she had no intention of staying there to get more frustrated. "I could have fought for 10% of the shares from the Qin family, but now it's all gone!" "Furthermore, with today's spectacle, even Arabella's job in Yun City could be jeopardized tomorrow!" "Are you happy now?" "Boasting? Who said I was boasting?" Randy Ling responded lightly. "Tomorrow, you'll see whether I was boasting or not." "Ass! Shut up; you're still boasting!" Davina Shen finally snapped after bottling up her frustration for so long. "Do you even know where Dongzhou Commercial Building is? And you're blabbering about securing a three-year contract in one day? Why don't you try going to heaven!" "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Viola cried even louder. "Mom, could you please lower your voice? You're scaring Viola!" Arabella Qin also seemed very displeased. As she spoke, she shot Randy Ling a stern look. Originally, they had hoped that Randy Ling's presence would provide Viola with a sense of security. But now, neither the child nor the adults felt secure anymore. ..
