  Chapter 156: Not Betraying the Buddha, Not Betraying You!

  Everyone gathered their spirits and listened as Old Man Qin had something to announce at his own birthday banquet.

  It must be something extraordinary if it can be mentioned in such a gathering.

  Mr. Qin beckoned to Qin Zongheng, who stood beside him, and patted his shoulder, smiling at everyone: "We Chinese people like to emphasize 'filial piety and grandson's virtue'. I'm no exception. This is my grandson Qin Zongheng. He's a good grandson of mine and also a great successor to the family business. What I want to announce is that Qin Zongheng will be taking over all domestic businesses of the Qin family."

  There isn't a single fool among you, everyone understands what the phrase "comprehensive takeover of Qin family's domestic business" means. For these old-brand families, their business focus has always been on domestic affairs. Although they also have overseas businesses, they are ultimately not as influential and deeply rooted as those in China.

  Qin Zongheng took over domestic enterprises, which is equivalent to grasping the economic lifeline of the Qin family.

  This is another example of a giant financial group choosing a young successor, following the Wenren family's selection of 20-year-old Wenren Muyue as their heir.

  This year, Qin Zongheng was only twenty-seven years old, and it was his most vigorous and spirited prime of life.

  People like them, a simple leap is a height that ordinary people can hardly reach in their lifetime.

  First of all, those die-hard supporters of Qin reacted and cheered, with applause and blessings filling the air. Then, other guests also spontaneously applauded.

  Applause filled the entire venue, Qin Zong stood on stage with a humble and introverted demeanor, yet radiating dazzling brilliance.

  Qin Luo also smiled and clapped his hands. However, in his heart, he was calculating because of Lian Qincheng's prepayment plan, his own assets were not small, with several hundred million. But compared to the wealth that Qin Zongheng now holds-----it's like a little sheep standing pitifully in front of a lion, it's simply not on the same level.

  This slightly affected Qin Luo's mood, causing him to eat two fewer chicken legs for this meal.

  It has to be said that our comrade Qin Luo is not as magnanimous as outsiders think. Although he didn't show it on his face, after Qin Zongheng invited him over and threatened him in a condescending manner, he indeed wasn't too pleased with the guy.

  Besides, whether he likes it or not, due to the relationship with Wen Ren Mu Yue, he has become a secret rival of Qin Zongheng.

  Who wants their opponent to be much stronger than themselves?

  "The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard." Qin Luo thought to himself.

  Mr. Qin waved his hand to signal everyone to stop, and smiled: "In the future, it's inevitable that we'll have to deal with each other. He's still young, if there's anything he doesn't do properly, please give me some face and be more tolerant."

  As he spoke, Old Qin surprisingly bowed ninety degrees towards the audience below.

  He bowed and that was it. With his noble status, eighty years of age, and being the birthday star today, the sound of chairs scraping against the floor filled the room as everyone stood up with him.

  Although it's a bit of a nuisance, I have to admit that this old man is really skilled at handling interpersonal relationships.

  He bowed like this, giving enough face to the people below. Everyone had a feeling of being honored and yet relaxed all over.

  People are different, and the effects of bowing are also different. Can a ordinary farmer and the Prime Minister of a country have the same effect when they bow?

  "This bow is for my grandson to ask a personal favor from all of you. You can accept it with ease. Please sit down." Old Master Qin said with a smile, waving his hand to signal everyone to take their seats.

  "Now, let Qinzongheng say a few words." Old Master Qin handed the microphone to Qinzongheng, gesturing for him to speak.

  Qin took over the microphone and looked at Old Man Qin with a respectful face, saying: "Thank you, Grandpa, for everything you've done for me. I will work hard and not disappoint your expectations."

  Mr. Qin nodded and patted his shoulder vigorously.

  Then, with a warm and gentle gaze at the crowd, he smiled and said: "As friends, I hope you will think of me when drinking. As collaborators, I hope to be remembered when making money. Of course, I will also strive to play well the dual roles of friend and collaborator. Let's drink together, let's make money together."

  Qin Zongheng was also a merchant with long sleeves and good dance moves. He didn't say much nonsense or clichés, except to his grandfather, and he didn't even say a word of thanks to the people below.

  He knows what others care about. They only care if you treat them as friends and give them opportunities to make money. That's all.

  Others, such as gratitude ----- saying a million thank yous, can it bring in an order?

  "Once again, thank you everyone for coming to attend my grandfather's birthday banquet. Cheers to your arrival! Cheers to Grandfather's health!" Qin Zongheng raised his glass from the tray held by the waiter, and toasted to everyone.

  "Good health to Old Qin!" someone in the audience said.

  "Cheers for Qin Lao's health."

  The longevity banquet ended, Zhang Yi held his daughter's small hand and said: "Jiǔjiǔ, don't be too hard on yourself."

  "I know." Wang Jiujin looked in Qin Luo's direction and nodded slightly.

  "If you're wronged, scold if you must. Don't lose face." Zhang Yi said with some heartache. Her daughter was trapped in a bitter love affair, and as a mother, she couldn't bear it either.

  Wang Jiujin patted Zhang Yiyi's equally small hand and said, "Comrade Zhang Yiyi, don't worry. This little pain is nothing. Your daughter can bear it."

  "You're such a stubborn girl. It's exactly this strong personality of yours that worries people." Zhang Yi's eyes turned red. "No choice. You take after me in this way. Sigh, go then. Leave early and come back early. Bring your phone with you. If anything happens, notify me immediately. No matter how late it is, Mom will go pick you up."

  "I know." Wang Jiujin nodded and stood up, walking towards the outside.

  Qin Luo was just about to hitch a ride with Wen Ren Mu Yue's car when Wang Jiujiu suddenly ran in front of him.

  "Teacher Qin, do you have time?" Wang Jiujiu asked Qin Luo with a smile on her pretty face.

  This is a girl who knows very well how to hide her heartache in front of outsiders, at this moment her face was filled with smiles, nobody knew what kind of hardships and torments she had gone through in her heart.

  Qin Luo didn't know that because he and Wen Ren Muyue attended the banquet together, they had already caused many people to misunderstand.

  Of course, he also knew that some people would misunderstand. For example, those who thought Wen Renyu wanted to refuse him. However, these people did not include Wang Jiujiao.

  "What's wrong?" Qin Luo asked.

  "Can you walk with me? I have something to talk to you about." Wang Jiujin said.

  Qin Luo looked at the snowflakes dancing in the sky and smiled, asking: "Are you sure?"

  "Confirmed." Wang Jiujiu said affirmatively.

  "Alright then." Qin Luo nodded. He turned around and said to Wen Ren Mu Yue, "You all go back first. I'll take Jiujiu out for a walk."

  Wen Ren Mu Yue glanced at Wang Jiujiu and said, "Be careful of your wound."

  Then, she got into her sedan with a large group of bodyguards.

  This is a rare heavy snowfall in recent years, which has been falling for a whole night and almost hasn't stopped.

  The snow on the road was crushed by the wheels and splashed to both sides with a rustling sound. Where no one had walked, the snow piled up thickly, covering the plants inside tightly, not even a head could stick out. The tree branches were hung with icicles, which looked like crystal clear pearls under the illumination of the streetlights.

  The winter in Yanjing was originally very cold, and at night the temperature dropped even more severely. Walking in this snowy and icy land almost froze people's thoughts to death.

  The exhaled gas immediately vaporized and disappeared into the air. Qin Luo and Wang Jiujin walked shoulder to shoulder, only hearing each other's breathing and the crunching sound of their shoes trampling in the deep snow.

  Unconsciously, they had strayed from the main road and were heading towards a quiet little path that Qin Luo was unfamiliar with. In fact, he could see a river flowing quietly in front of him, like a winding silver snake.

  Is this the choice that single men and women walking together can't help but make?

  Wang Jiujui said he had something to discuss with himself, but all along the way, he remained silent and didn't intend to speak out.

  Qin Luo finally couldn't help it and laughed, saying: "Jiu Jiu, aren't you cold?"

  "What?" Wang Jiujin was immersed in the atmosphere of a snowy night stroll and didn't hear clearly what Qin Luo said to him.

  "Is it cold?" Qin Luo asked again. In such a ghostly weather, even urine would freeze into an ice stick before hitting the ground. With his unusual physique, he didn't need to worry about catching a chill. But Wang Jiujin's clothes were indeed too thin.

  Wang Jiujui only then felt a chill creeping into her body, her boots were covered in snow, and her feet seemed to have lost all sensation, numb as if they didn't belong to her own body.Her hands suddenly had nowhere to put them, no matter where she placed them, they felt cold.

  "Cold." Wang Jiujin said.

  Qin Luo reached out and wrapped Wang Jiujui in his arms, saying: "My body is relatively warm. Getting closer might have some effect."

  He also said: "If there's nothing else, let's go back. In such cold weather, you'll be frozen to death."

  Qin Luo found that every time he was with Wang Jiujui, she would suggest going for a walk. This gave Qin Luo the feeling that the most common thing they did together was walking.

  Wang Jiujiao snuggled her body into Qin Luo's arms, and soon her hands were also grasped by Qin Luo's.

  As he said, his arms were warm. Like a burning fireplace, it didn't scald people, but made them reluctant to leave. His hands weren't big, but they were also gentle and warm. Wang Jiujui wished that this road would never end, so she could walk with him holding her hand for the rest of her life.

  The two of them were embracing and holding hands like a couple, which made Wang Jiuyi's heart flutter with ill intentions towards Qin Luo. Upon hearing Qin Luo's words to persuade her to go back, she hastily said: "Something's come up. Teacher Qin, I have something to say to you."

  (Everyone quietly read books, I also quietly coded. Old Liu was impulsive yesterday and apologized to some friends who were unintentionally hurt.)
