"What does that man look like?" Donald Zhao asked as he took a puff of his cigar.
"Because... the distance was too far, the time was too short, and the man's face was covered in blood, so I didn't see clearly. I only knew it was a man..."
Whoosh!
Upon hearing this, Donald Zhao exhaled heavily and narrowed his eyes slightly. It appeared that something had indeed slipped through the cracks.
"I... I only know so much, please... please let me go, I promise not to tell..." the lean man pleaded, but before he could finish speaking, Umair Zhao stepped on his chest, causing the sound of bones breaking.
"Brother, are you sure the man at the hotel that day wasn't from the Zheng family?" Donald Zhao asked, glancing at the man on the ground.
"Yes," Umair Zhao nodded. "Brother, this matter is straightforward. I'll immediately gather a team to capture Nohe Qin's daughter and interrogate her."
"We from the Zhao family shouldn't directly involve ourselves in this matter," Donald Zhao continued after a brief pause.
"Alright!" Umair Zhao nodded vigorously. "I know all the people in the Zheng family. That person was definitely a stranger!"
"It seems that the remnants of the Zheng family must have aligned with someone else," Donald Zhao mused.
"Understood!" Umair Zhao replied after a moment of contemplation.
"Leave this to Hugo Lu," Donald Zhao said, taking another puff of his cigar. "Tell him to handle it personally. The fewer people who know about it, the better."
"The other party only mentioned the Zheng family's daughter who was forced to jump into the river at the hotel that day and didn't mention the annihilation of the Zheng family."
"Moreover, so many days have passed, and they haven't come forward. It's possible that they don't know who is responsible for the incident with the Zheng family."
At 11 o'clock in the morning, at the Qin Group's headquarters building:
Andrew Qin, his second son Jonty Qin, and Jemima Qin were discussing the Dongzhou Building contract in Andrew's office.
"Alright!" Umair Zhao nodded and took out his mobile phone to make a call.
...
"Dear, what did Master Jian say? Is there any new progress?" Andrew Qin picked up a tea cup and took a sip.
"Grandpa, don't worry; it should be done soon," Jemima Qin replied.
Originally, she rarely came to the company to work, having transferred the role of general manager of the company to Jonty Qin a long time ago. She only held the title of chairman. However, due to the importance of the Dongzhou Building contract during this period, she attended meetings and discussions at the company when she had free time.
"Really? That's great!" Andrew Qin smiled happily.
"If this matter is completed, little girl, you will be a great contributor to our Qin family. When the time comes, you will be directly promoted to the vice president in charge of marketing for the group!"
"Master Jian said that he asked his father to contact the head of a department in the Dongzhou Building last night, and the other party verbally agreed to cooperate with our company."
"If everything goes well, we should receive a reply today or tomorrow!"
"Although their family isn't one of the four major families in Dongzhou, they are much stronger than our Qin family. If you can marry into that family, you'll have a secure future."
"Grandpa, I haven't thought about that yet; don't worry!" Jemima Qin assured him.
"Thank you, grandpa; this is what I should do!" Jemima Qin beamed with joy.
"By the way, what's your relationship with Master Jian?" Andrew Qin asked further.
"As for marriage, it doesn't matter as long as it's with a direct blood relative from one of the four major families!"
Ring! Ring! Ring!
As far as she was concerned, she had no intention of marrying Maud Qian at all. She was just temporarily his girlfriend because she wanted to use him.
She was very clear about her marriage goal: she must marry into one of the four major families.
"Director Qin, someone from the Dongzhou Building Investment Department is here. They say they are here to sign a contract with our company, and they specifically requested that you sign it in person," the secretary's voice was filled with excitement.
"Really!?" Hearing this, Andrew Qin almost jumped up with excitement.
At that moment, Andrew Qin's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was the secretary calling.
"Don't you know I'm in a meeting?" After answering the call, Andrew Qin said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
"Dad, why are you so happy?" After Andrew Qin hung up the phone, Jonty Qin asked, smiling. He hadn't seen his father so excited in a long time.
"Haha, it's great news, a fantastic one!" Andrew Qin laughed and looked at Jemima Qin. "Jemima, you are truly the lucky star of our Qin family!"
"Yes, they came directly to the company, and they requested that the lady sign the contract in person." The secretary's voice was filled with excitement.
"Okay, tell them that the lady will be there shortly!" Andrew Qin beamed with joy.
"Hurry up and call Mr. Jian to express our gratitude to him. Also, we should treat him to dinner tonight and make sure he feels appreciated!"
"Ah!?" Jonty Qin and Jemima Qin exclaimed simultaneously.
"Grandpa, what's going on?" Jemima Qin looked surprised.
"People from the Dongzhou Building Investment Department have come directly to the company and requested that you sign the contract!" Andrew Qin continued to smile.
"Great!" Jemima Qin cheered.
"Haha, isn't this great news?" Andrew Qin laughed again.
"Grandpa, is this true!?" Jemima Qin asked loudly after being stunned for a moment.
"Of course, it's true. Their representatives are already in the conference room. How could it be false?" Andrew Qin responded with a smile.
"Alright, Dad!" Jonty Qin was filled with joy.
"Dear, make the call first, and I'll head back to the office to prepare!" Andrew Qin smiled as he watched Jemima Qin walk toward the door.
"As expected of the Qian family; their connections are incredibly strong. The Dongzhou Building people even came directly to us. It's quite flattering!"
As he spoke, he stood up and looked at Jonty Qin. "You should also head back to the office to prepare. We'll meet again then together later to show our respects!"
"Alright!" Jonty Qin nodded.
After calming her emotions a little, Jemima Qin picked up her cell phone and dialed Maud Qian's number.
"Dear, thank you!" After the call was connected, she spoke in a gentle tone.
She hadn't expected that the issue that had troubled the Qin family for over half a year could be resolved so easily. Maud Qian was truly capable!
"Huh?" Maud Qian, on the other end of the phone, was surprised. "Why are you suddenly thanking me?"
"The connection you had your father establish is incredibly powerful. The Dongzhou Building people have come to our company voluntarily, and I'm going to sign the contract with them right away."
"Ah?" Maud Qian said in amazement.
"You're so cunning, pretending to be clueless with me," Jemima Qin said playfully.
"Are you also surprised?" Jemima Qin smiled charmingly.
"Alright, let's talk later. I'm going to sign the contract right away. I'll stay at your place tonight, and we can do it in that position you've always wanted to try!" After saying that, she hung up the phone without waiting for Maud to respond.
