"I'm just telling you! My eldest nephew, you have never been an easy person to talk to. You let go of the Lin City project so easily. Unfortunately, I thought you had grown up and finally realized that you cannot write two characters of Qin in one stroke. You know who your blood relative is." Third Uncle Qin, who always smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, finally couldn't hold back the happy smile on his face, "I didn't expect that you were waiting for me here after all your efforts! "

"That's right. He is indeed Weng Suying's son." Third Uncle Qin looked at Qin Mu with a look that made him want to carve out a piece of flesh from Qin Mu's body. "Your mother really didn't teach you in vain. You are better than me!”

"Concession." Qin Mu replied calmly, "It will only happen if my third uncle is willing to cooperate."

Third Uncle Qin: "..."

Cheng Lang blinked and clapped his hands wildly in his heart. Finally, he understands why the big boss is keen on listening to cross-talk. This is called a true ruthless person, who can kill someone with just a few words without changing his expression. Because of this proficiency, even the top bosses would give up their talents.

What a perfect compliment!

Cheng Lang looked at Qin Mu with burning eyes, full of sympathy.

When Assistant Hu saw this, he quietly poked Cheng Lang's elbow and whispered, "Control yourself." He didn't want too many people to know that their boss had a top Wuling crosstalk Actor!

[*Because Cheng Lang drives a Wuling car, sometimes he is called 'Wuling Crosstalk Actor'.]

Cheng Lang came back to his senses, and approached Assistant Hu, close to his ear, "I think the boss and I are a perfect match."

Assistant Hu sneered, "It's not dark yet!*"

[*Sai: ‘Assistant Hu: Don’t Dream.’]

"You are so evil!" Qin Mi looked at Qin Mu angrily, "After all, you are also the eldest grandson of our Qin family. You don't take into account the interests of our family at all. Since you resent our family so much, why don't you return the shares of the Qin Group? From now on, everyone will go back to their own way. Don’t mess with the river.”

Before he finished speaking, the entire birthday banquet suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked over with burning eyes.

Qin Mu still looked as calm as ever. He raised his eyelids and looked at Old Master Qin quietly, "Is this what you mean?"

Old Master Qin still had that kind and amiable look on his face, and said gently, "Ami is your brother. He is still young and can speak freely. I will let his parents teach him well later. You are our Qin The eldest son of the family, this will never change.”

Qin Mu said nothing.

Old Master Qin added, "Let's stop with the Lin City project. Since there is always someone who has to suffer, whether it’s my family or you, it’s the same. Two characters of Qin cannot be written in one stroke. Besides, the third child also said, a loss is a blessing.”

Third Uncle Qin's expression changed, and his chubby face regained its composure, "The old man is right. Suffering is a blessing. Our family has been blessed with great blessings, so we will suffer this loss. There is always an opportunity to make amends in the future. If it were the eldest nephew who was single and weak, I'm afraid he would have no luck to endure it."

Qin Mu looked at Third Uncle Qin, and slightly raised his lips, "Then I'll rely on my family."

"We are all one family," Third Uncle Qin also put on a fake smile, "Why are you so polite."

"That's right!" Old Master Qin said with a smile, "They are all members of our own family. Why do we have to live apart?"

After saying that, he pointed at Qin Wenyu and said, "Take Amu to take a seat. The banquet will begin in a moment."

Qin Wenyu nodded and said to Qin Mu, "Follow me."

Qin Mu followed Qin Wenyu with an expressionless face. Cheng Lang and Assistant Hu followed Qin Mu, but before they had taken two steps, they were stopped by someone, "You two, please come this way."

Cheng Lang and Assistant Hu looked at each other and were invited to the outside table by the servant. Cheng Lang sat down and asked Assistant Hu, "Where are the driver and bodyguards?"

"Of course, we're in the car." Assistant Hu glanced at Cheng Lang, "You don't think it's safe here, do you?"

Cheng Lang secretly raised his eyebrows. He only knew that there was no good banquet, but he did not expect that the relationship between Qin Mu and his family would become so rigid.

Seeing that Cheng Lang was silent, Assistant Hu introduced the situation of the Qin family to him in a low voice, "Our boss is the son of Qin Wenyu, the eldest son of Qin, and Weng Suying, the only daughter of the chairman of Weng Group. The Qin family and the Weng family were considered a business marriage, so when the two families got married, they exchanged 15% of their shares. After Chairman Weng died, his wife took over the Weng Group. Because she was busy taking care of the group's affairs, she neglected her family." So Qin Wenyu began to spend time outside.

After Weng Suying found out about this, she originally wanted to divorce Qin Wenyu. However, after the two groups have developed for so many years, the company's size is no longer what it was back then. At that time, the Qin Group was operating and listed, and no personnel changes were allowed for senior shareholders and managers. In addition to the 15% of the shares exchanged between the two companies, it will be very troublesome to cut it. Therefore, Old Master Qin personally approached Weng Suying to negotiate and promised to appoint the eldest son, Qin Mu, as the first heir to the Qin family.

After making the agreement, Weng Suying left the Qin family with her son Qin Mu, who was still young at the time. Before leaving, Weng Suying took Qin Wenyu to the hospital for sterilization. It is precisely because of this action that deep hatred between the husband and wife was planted.

Cheng Lang's eyes widened unconsciously and he looked at Assistant Hu with bright eyes.

Assistant Hu nodded and repeated at a volume that only two people could hear, "You heard it right."

So Qin Mu’s mother really pressured Qin Mu's father to get a sterilization? Cheng Lang secretly sighed, this is a ruthless person, "Madam, she is truly a hero among women."

Assistant Hu sighed, "Anyway, the Qin family dislikes the boss. Not only because of the old events but also because of the boss's identity as the heir of the Qin family."

Cheng Lang nodded, understanding the thoughts of the Qin family members. Ordinary families would still make a lot of money from the inheritance of three melons and two dates, let alone such a large family fortune as the Qin family.

But Old Master Qin's attitude was very playful.

Assistant Hu continued, "After Madam passed away, relying on their wealth and power, and the 15% of the shares, they originally wanted to unite other shareholders to annex the Weng Group. But unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the boss stepped forward." After a confrontation, instead of making any gains, our family suffered a lot of losses.

Only then did Old Master Qin begin to use soft tactics in an attempt to win over Qin Mu.

"...I guess I'm overthinking it. After all, the boss is his grandson. He is also the heir of the Qin family. It makes no difference whether the Weng Group is in the hands of the boss or the family."

Cheng Lang frowned, always feeling that things were not that simple.

"What about the Qin Dynasty Record?" Cheng Lang asked again.

"Qin Dynasty Record is just a company that the boss started for fun when he was in college. The boss is very talented and has a good vision. Coupled with Madam's strong support, he has successfully run an investment company in a few years." Assistant Hu said here, He glanced at Cheng Lang again, "You want to earn 100 million by talking about cross talk in White Jade Capital. Little did you know that when the boss was in college, he made hundreds of millions in the stock market in just one year. Now you know what it means that there are people outside the world and there is a world outside the world, right?"

Cheng Lang smiled and said nothing.

"Why are you laughing?" Assistant Hu looked at Cheng Lang and suddenly became more serious, "Do you think what I said is wrong?"

"Of course not." Before the birthday banquet started, Cheng Lang grabbed a handful of melon seeds in his hand and said while cracking them, "The boss is indeed very powerful."

As he spoke, he took another sip of tea.

The Qin family is indeed a wealthy family with a strong foundation. Even the tea served to guests is the best Dahongpao. The tea has a strong aroma and is particularly appetizing. Cheng Lang thought so and couldn't help but drink half a cup.

Assistant Hu said reluctantly, "Don't perfuse me. I look at you and I'm very disapproving."

Cheng Lang sighed, looked at Assistant Hu, and said seriously, "Don't make trouble unreasonably."

Assistant Hu asked, "Am I being unreasonable or are you unwilling to talk to me? You are such a cold and heartless thing, but I am so kind and have shared so many secrets with you. But you don't even want to tell me what's on your mind.”

Cheng Lang commented, "I don't think this line is suitable for you."

Assistant Hu sighed, "Really, it is easy to change people's hearts, and the old saying that ‘people's hearts are easy to change’ is indeed true."

Cheng Lang: "..."

Cheng Lang was a little troubled to find that many people around him had the heart to talk about cross-talk.

"I do still need someone to support me." Cheng Lang looked at Assistant Hu seriously, "Does Assistant Hu plan to change jobs?"

Assistant Hu asked seriously, "If I resign to be your assistant, would you be willing to give me half of the tips you earned at White Jade Capital?"

Cheng Lang: "..."

Assistant Hu took the initiative and said, "Look. People like you are a typical bad man. You are usually smooth-tongued, but when it comes to money, your true colors are immediately revealed."

Cheng Lang raised his hands in surrender, "I was wrong."

Assistant Hu said with satisfaction, "I forgive you."

Assistant Hu said seriously, "When the boss was young, Old Master Qin often went to the Weng family mansion to visit his grandson. Because Old Master Qin likes to listen to books and talk about cross talk, he takes his boss to teahouses and theaters every weekend. I followed the boss and heard about it since I was a child. If my father hadn't forced me to take the management major when I was filling out my application for the college entrance examination, I might have actually done crosstalk.”

"I think I'm quite talented." Assistant Hu concluded.

Cheng Lang looked at Assistant Hu, "Have you been following the boss since you were a child?"

"Yes!" Assistant Hu nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Didn't I tell you? The few of us, namely me, Chu Suiyi, Han Mingchen, and the boss, we all grew up together.”

Cheng Lang asked, "Isn't there Lu Chengxuan?"

"That idiot!" Assistant Hu couldn't hold it back and blurted out, "He has evil intentions towards his boss. So disgusting. If it weren't for the fact that his mother and Madam are best friends, and the boss can be regarded as someone who Mrs. Lu has watched grow up, we would have found a way to teach him a lesson."

When Assistant Hu said this, he looked at Cheng Lang again and said in a slightly deeper tone, "The boss has been a very reserved person since he was a child and does not easily reveal his emotions. In all the years I've been with him, this is the first time I've seen him be so interested in someone. I know you are not an honest person, but I hope you can be honest around the boss. The boss is a nice person and he won't treat you badly."

Cheng Lang looked at Assistant Hu and couldn't help but say, "Don't talk to me in this tone."

Assistant Hu blinked, "What tone?"

"It's like being entrusted to a lonely person." Cheng Lang frowned and said, "It's unlucky."

"You—"

"Mr. Cheng?"

Just when Cheng Lang and Assistant Hu were chatting away, a very pleasant greeting interrupted their conversation.

Cheng Lang turned around and saw two brothers, Yao Liangsheng and Yao Liangjing, who had come to White Jade Capital to cause trouble, standing three meters away, looking at him in surprise.

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect you to come to pay homage to Old Master Qin." Yao Liangsheng said proactively, "We two brothers came with my master. Today is the 80th birthday of Old Master Qin. The Qin family invited us to do a cross-talk for Old Master Qin."

Cheng Lang said with a smile, "Master Yao is a famous cross-talk master. I'm going to be really happy to hear Master Yao talk about cross-talk live today."

Then he asked, "Master Yao, is he going to tell a new joke today?"

"Of course." Yao Liangjing continued, "You don't know that Old Master Qin loves to listen to cross talk the most, and he has very good taste. Every year, my master makes up new jokes for Old Master Qin's storytelling and cross-talk half a year in advance."

Speaking of this, Assistant Hu suddenly remembered something and asked Cheng Lang, "How is your editing going?"

"What?" The two brothers, Yao Liangsheng and Yao Liangjing looked at each other and asked in confusion, "Is Mr. Cheng also going to talk about cross-talk today?"
