218 – Investment

Ever since he met Qin Mian that day, Qin Lian had been anxious and fearful. Every time he saw Qin Yongcheng, he had to carefully observe the man’s face and wondered if Qin Mian had contacted him.

Qin Yongcheng had been immersed in business for many years. His eyes had already become a pair of insightful eyes. He could see through all Qin Lian’s little movements. Although he knew nothing of what Qin Lian was guilty of, Qin Lian’s jittery look made him angry, exasperated at his son’s failure to make good.

“Qin Lian!”

The chopsticks in Qin Lian’s hands fell off and made two crisp sounds on the white and smooth floor.

When the servant heard the clamoring, he came over and saw the tension between the father and son. He did not dare to step forward.

“I’m sorry, Daddy.” Qin Lian quickly picked up the chopsticks and put them aside, squeezing out a stiff smile, “I have had some insomnia these two days…”

“Oh? Because what?” Qin Yongcheng asked coldly. He slowly drank the soup, while his sharp eyes still fell on Qin Lian, thoroughly probing.

“Nothing. Two days later, it’s Young Master Liu’s birthday. I haven’t made up my mind about his birthday present. I’m worried about it.” Qin Lian quickly found an excuse.

Qin Yongcheng hummed coldly and sighed in his heart. He felt powerless. The Qin family’s industry arose in his father’s hands and developed in his hands. He was very worried that the foundation of the Qin family would be destroyed in his son’s hands. Qin Mian’s whereabouts were still unknown. He only had one son now. If the Qin family’s industry was not handed over to Qin Lian, who else was it going to be? However, Qin Lian’s performance truly dissatisfied him.

As Qin Yongcheng’s gaze became profound, Qin Lian’s heart beat faster. Knowing that Qin Yongcheng didn’t like him, he made up his mind not to let him know that Qin Mian had come back.

Qin Yongcheng thought negatively that maybe he should marry his son to a capable daughter-in-law, and then hand over the Qin family’s industry to his daughter-in-law. However, if he did so, their Qin family would definitely become a joke in the business circle. Plus, the Qin family’s industry would fall into the hands of an outsider.

At this time, Qin Yongcheng’s mind suddenly had an idea. He was still young and in good health. If he trained his grandson well…..

Madam Qin, Mo Feifei, did the peacemaking, “Enough, enough. Eat first. If you have something to say, wait until you finish eating.”

Qin Yongcheng’s expression relaxed. Looking at Qin Lian, he said in a grave tone and with sincerity, “You’re our only son. We, the Qin family, still depend on you. Don’t let me and your mother down.”

Qin Lian quickly responded, “Yes. Daddy, I’ll work hard.”

After eating, Qin Lian went to the company. Qin Yongcheng called Mo Feifei to the study and said, “A-Lian is not young and he still hasn’t mellowed. It’s time for him to marry a wife to manage him.”

Mo Feifei knew her son best. She felt that Qin Yongcheng suddenly said this because he found out that Qin Lian was having affairs with several female employees in the company. She immediately nodded in agreement, “I think so too. I was going to mention this to you. Husband, do you have a candidate in mind?”

Qin Yongcheng’s look was hard to see through even to his wife, “Seem like you already have a candidate?”

Even though Mo Feifei was in her early fifties, her charm still lingered. Her soft smile had its own mature charm. “Yes, you know my eldest sister-in-law’s niece, Yage.”

“Yage?” Qin Yongcheng glanced at her meaningfully and said gently, “That child Yage is really good; smart and beautiful. But it’s too early to decide. A-Lian is our only son. We should be careful in choosing our daughter-in-law. Next month is the 40th anniversary of the company’s establishment. We’ll have a reception and invite more friends over.”

Mo Feifei’s eyes flashed, and she nodded with a smile. “Leave it to you to be so thoughtful.”

On the other side.

Lei Tie was busy on his notebook wherever he went these two days. Qin Mian was not allowed to peek at it. Even if Qin Mian teased him whether he was secretly on the “third rated porn website”, he still did not let Qin Mian see. Qin Mian took over his job taking Lei Ruilin to the filming site every day. Lei Tie stayed at home. Qin Ruiqi sometimes followed Qin Mian, and sometimes stayed at home with Lei Tie.

Today, Qin Mian came to the filming site with Lei Ruilin, but found that the atmosphere of the production crew was very dull. Chen Yue was gloomy, standing in front of the monitor, smoking. Zhang Yuan also had a grim face.

“What happened?” Qin Mian asked a familiar makeup artist in a low voice.

The makeup artist shook her head and whispered, “I don’t know. Director Chen just answered a phone call and then it became like this. ”

Qin Mian noticed that Zhang Qiong’s sight passed over his son; his heart thumped. Was it related to his son? He went directly to Chen Yue and Zhang Qiong and greeted them with a smile, “Director Chen, Assistant Director Zhang. Good morning.”

Chen Yue’s face softened a little. “You’re here.”

Zhang Qiong nodded faintly and signaled Chen Yue with his eyes.

Chen Yue paid no heed to it and frowned as he mulled over.

Qin Mian said, “Is something wrong?”

Seeing that Chen Yue was silent, Zhang Qiong had no choice but to ask him, “Mister Qin, since you asked, I’ll tell you straight away. Has your family ever offended someone?”

Qin Mian’s first thought was Qin Lian, “Why are you asking this?”

Zhang Qiong said, “Just now, we received a call asking us to replace…” Afraid of the child becoming sad, he only hinted at Lei Ruilin, “Otherwise, the investor will withdraw the investment.”

Qin Mian raised his eyebrows.

Lei Ruilin raised his eyebrows, the movement was very identical to his father; apparently, he understood the words of Zhang Qiong, but still remained calm.

Chen Yue noticed it, which made him like the boy even more. But he did not dare to say that he would continue to use Lei Ruilin. At this time, if the investor Zhao withdrew his investment, it would be detrimental to the future publicity of the film; while on the other hand, if he couldn’t find a new investor in a short time, it would cause great losses.

Zhang Qiong thought that at this time, if Qin Mian really understood the truth, he should take the initiative to ask his son to quit. However, Qin Mian calmly asked, “How much money has the investor invested?”

Zhang Qiong was stunned. Chen Yue also looked over in surprised; he thought of a possibility and subconsciously straightened his waist.

“80 million.” Zhang Qiong replied.

Qin Mian nodded, “How about I invest?” It was not just about fighting for his son. He was really optimistic about the film. The film was first-class in terms of its directing team, leading roles, and script. It was impossible not to be popular.

Chen Yue and Zhang Qiong were astounded.

Chen Yue made a gesture and seriously said, “Let’s talk inside.”

Entering the nearest dressing room, he asked, “Are you serious?”

“Of course.” Qin Mian said, “It’s very likely that this incident is really aimed at me. However, I also want to ask. If I can ensure that the investment is in place, will other aspects be affected?”

“No.” Chen Yue firmly said, “Although I’m not powerful or influential, I won’t allow myself to be manipulated.”

Qin Mian didn’t doubt him. The network of a popular director couldn’t be underestimated.

“Good. I’ll transfer 2 million to you first; you continue shooting. The rest will arrive before dark.”

Afterward, without caring about whatever reaction Chen Yue and Zhang Qiong had, he lowered his head and asked his youngest son, “Ruilin, I want to go out for a while. Are you fine being alone?”

Lei Ruilin casually put his hands in his big pocket, not in the least looking worried, and said with a smile, “Daddy, rest assured.”

Qin Mian asked about the account number, nodded to Chen Yue and Zhang Qiong, and turned to leave.

Chen Yue and Zhang Qiong looked at each other, speechless.

An hour later, the text message reminded Chen Yue that there were 2 million more in his account. Chen Yue and Zhang Qiong settled down. At this time, they were not worried that Qin Mian tricked them because before they signed the contract, Qin Mian had transferred 2 million. In other words, if Qin Mian dared to trick them, he couldn’t get back the 2 million.

When all the others had arrived, the shooting continued.

At lunch, Chen Yue and Zhang Qiong took care of Lei Ruilin. Lei Ruilin was very sensible and didn’t let them worry much.

Qin Mian, on the other side, dug out a 500-year-old ginseng in the space after he transferred 2 million. He remembered that there was a 300-year-old ginseng that weighed 305 grams and sold for RMB 10 million. This 500-year-old ginseng weighed 589 grams and was rarer. It came from the magical space, so it was of better quality. It was worth at least 20 million. If there were too many hundred year old ginseng in the market, it would certainly attract attention. Hence, he only planned to sell this one.

Because of time constraints, he did not take the ginseng to the auction company, but directly contacted a reputable pharmaceutical company, asking for 30 million yuan. After some bargaining, he finally closed the deal with 28 million yuan.

After leaving the pharmaceutical company, Qin Mian put on illusion to change his appearance and mingled with the vast crowd. No one could find him.

Later, he and Lei Tie disguised themselves and sold three pieces of jade and two pieces of jewelry in different cities, making up 100 million.

Less than 4 o’clock, he reappeared in the crew, found Chen Yue, signed a contract, and transferred 78 million to the production crew.

Chen Yue and Zhang Qiong were completely relieved.

For the remaining 22 million, Qin Mian gave Lei Tie 12 million to start a business. Lei Tie’s appearance when he seriously said “Wife, this is borrowed” was so cute that Qin Mian couldn’t help pouncing on him. The counter-attack was expected……

Qin Mian leaned on Lei Tie’s body, pressed on his strong chest muscle, listening to the man’s breathing speeding and slowing in the wake of his hand’s movement. He laughed in amusement.

“Don’t make trouble.” Lei Tie’s voice was hoarse as he patted the other party’s hip in warning.

Qin Mian remembered that he still had something he had not done. He rolled up the sheets and sat up, “Where’s my phone?”

Lei Tie picked up two mobile phones on the bedhead, compared them, and handed one to him. Their mobile phones were identical, but the screen savers were different.

Qin Mian dialed Qin Lian’s phone, “Qin Lian, was today’s matter your sly doing?”

Qin Lian was puzzled, “What?”

It didn’t sound like he was lying when Qin Mian heard him. He soon thought of another suspect.

“He didn’t admit it?” Lei Tie hooked the other party’s hips, letting him move up.

Qin Mian hung up, a cold light flashed in his eyes as he smiled profoundly, “I might have mistaken him. Lu-Yun-Zhao.”

At this time, the phone rang. The string of numbers displayed looked familiar.

“Hello?”

“Hello, Mister Qin. I’m Lin Feng.”

“Mister Lin? Hello, what’s up? ” Qin Mian was surprised.

“My health has been much better recently. I want to express my thanks again.” Lin Feng added, “Also, one of my friends knows that Mister Qin is very skillful in medicine, so he wants to meet Mister Qin. He wants me to introduce you to him. I wonder if Mister Qin can do me the favor?”

Their family might have to live a long time in modern life, so it was necessary to develop a relationship. Qin Mian agreed without thinking more, “Sure.”

“We’re going to a ‘Crown Prince’ birthday party at 7 tomorrow night. Why don’t I pick up Mister Qin tomorrow afternoon?”

“Sure. I have my own car; how about meeting at Qingming Square at 6 o’clock? Um, goodbye.” Qin Mian would not easily disclose the address of his home.
