Chapter Ninety-Three: The Entire Qin Family Was Thrown Into Panic

Qin Guofu felt helpless when he heard that.

If he did that, what would become of the Qin family’s dignity?

The Qin family’s dignity, in Shen Donghua’s eyes at that moment, was already utterly gone.

But now, it seemed the Qin family had no other choice.

Qin Guofu could only agree. “Dad, I understand.”

“Don’t overthink it. Right now, the priority is to resolve the group’s crisis. I know you care about face, but this is not the time for that,” Qin Tianrong lectured.

Qin Guofu nodded quickly. “Understood.”

“Then go at once,” Qin Tianrong urged.

“All right.”

Qin Guofu answered softly, then hung up on Qin Tianrong.

After ending the call, Qin Guofu immediately looked at Qin Chao and said, “Xiao Chao, go home now. Don’t express any opinion, and stay at home properly.”

Qin Chao had already heard everything Qin Guofu and Qin Tianrong had said.

He was very displeased, frowning as he asked, “Dad, you’re going to Shen Donghua now to beg him for mercy?”

“Yes. It’s the only chance to save the family business,” Qin Guofu said loudly.

“Is there really no other way? Do you have to lower yourself like this?” Qin Chao said, his face full of resentment.

He too hated Shen Donghua to the core.

In a situation like this, his father was still going to plead with Shen Donghua; it truly seemed as though he no longer cared about dignity at all.

Qin Guofu knew what Qin Chao was thinking.

But he had no alternative. He could only do this.

So Qin Guofu said with a determined look, “All right. Go home first and stay there obediently. As for the company, I do not permit you to interfere in anything. Do you understand?”

Qin Chao lowered his head, his face dark and sullen. “Dad, I understand.”

Qin Guofu no longer paid him any mind and hurried away.

Half an hour later, Qin Guofu personally arrived at Huading Company and met Shen Donghua.

Following his father’s instructions, Qin Guofu said every flattering thing he could, begging Shen Donghua for forgiveness.

But Shen Donghua still gave no clear response.

After Qin Guofu finished speaking, Shen Donghua even asked him to wait in the conference room for his reply.

Since Qin Guofu was now under another’s roof, he could only obediently obey.

Though inwardly, he was choked with humiliation.

Once Qin Guofu left the office, Shen Donghua quickly stood and strode toward Chen Yang’s office.

The reason he had sent Qin Guofu to wait in the conference room was, of course, because he needed Chen Yang’s instructions.

Only after receiving Chen Yang’s decision could he reply to Qin Guofu.

When Shen Donghua reached Chen Yang’s office, he reported the matter of Qin Guofu’s visit.

After finishing, Shen Donghua suddenly looked at Chen Yang with great seriousness and asked, “Mr. Chen, should we let him off or not? You decide.”

“Then what do you think? Should we let him go?” Chen Yang suddenly asked in return.

Shen Donghua immediately gave a bitter smile. “This... I’m not sure.”

Chen Yang smiled faintly. “I asked Mr. Lin to handle this. He had a hard time making it happen. If we let him off just like that, wouldn’t Mr. Lin’s efforts be wasted?”

“Besides, setting Mr. Lin aside for the moment, I, Chen Yang, have always been decisive in my actions. Once I decide to do something, I will see it through no matter what.”

Chen Yang had said enough.

Shen Donghua was not stupid. He understood at once.

“All right, I understand,” Shen Donghua said.

“Go tell him,” Chen Yang said.

Shen Donghua nodded with a solemn expression. “All right.”

Then he turned and left.

Back in the conference room, Shen Donghua coldly told Qin Guofu that it could not be done.

Qin Guofu broke down inside. He cursed Shen Donghua, and as a result, was hauled out by two security guards Shen Donghua had called over.

After Qin Guofu was dragged away, Shen Donghua returned to Chen Yang’s office and said with a helpless smile, “Mr. Chen, you heard what Qin Guofu just said to me, didn’t you?”

“I did. Mr. Shen, you’ve worked hard,” Chen Yang laughed.

Shen Donghua hurriedly said, “That’s not what I meant. I just... I’ve never been cursed at with such filthy language before.”

“A cornered rabbit still bites. It can’t be helped,” Chen Yang said in comfort.

Shen Donghua smiled again. “Mr. Chen, I really didn’t mean anything else. I just came to tell you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to work.”

“Go ahead,” Chen Yang nodded.

“All right.”

Shen Donghua nodded as well and turned to leave once more.

Very quickly, the news that the Qin family company was facing bankruptcy spread from one person to another until every member of the Qin family knew about it.

And everyone in the Qin family also knew that the mastermind behind the downfall of the Qin Group was none other than Shen Donghua.

Qin Muxue’s family naturally learned of it as well.

Although Qin Guoshan had long since retired from the family business, he had watched it grow step by step to where it was today.

So although he and Qin Guofu often quarreled, the moment he heard that the Qin Group might go bankrupt, he was the one who felt the pain most deeply.

At six in the evening, Chen Yang returned home.

There he saw Qin Guoshan, Qin Muxue, Han Qin, and Su Xiaoling all sitting on the sofa.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.

Chen Yang guessed that Qin Muxue’s family was unhappy because they had heard about the Qin Group’s impending bankruptcy.

Just as he was thinking this, Qin Muxue suddenly looked up at him and asked, “Chen Yang, you’ve heard that our family’s Qin Group is going bankrupt, haven’t you?”

“Oh, I’ve heard a little,” Chen Yang said indifferently.

In truth, the one who had pushed the Qin Group to the brink of collapse was him.

But of course, he could not say that.

Qin Muxue suddenly studied him and asked, “Did you know this would happen long ago?”

When Chen Yang heard that, he gave a helpless smile. “Why would you say that?”

“Because the day before this happened, you came to talk to me. Do you still remember what you said to me?” Qin Muxue asked.

Chen Yang smiled again. “Oh, that. Of course I remember. Back then I was just speaking carelessly. I never thought my prediction would actually come true.”

“Chen Yang...”

Just as Chen Yang finished speaking, Qin Guoshan suddenly called out to him with a solemn expression.

Chen Yang immediately turned to him. “Yes, Dad? What is it?”

Qin Guoshan asked hopefully, “I heard you can get things done through Shen Donghua?”

Hearing this, Chen Yang instantly guessed what his father-in-law wanted him to do.

He quickly waved a hand. “Dad, I know what you want me to do, but with something this big, I really can’t help.”

Chen Yang was equally firm this time. This time, the Qin Group had to go bankrupt.

There would be no turning back.

“Exactly. What are you asking him to plead about? With something this big, could he really sway Shen Donghua?” Han Qin complained to Qin Guoshan.

“Then tell me, what should we do?” Qin Guoshan suddenly snapped at Han Qin as well. It was plain to see he had a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent it.

Han Qin refused to yield at all. “You’re scolding me? What use is that? If you have the ability, go talk to Shen Donghua yourself. What are you taking it out on me for?”

Qin Guoshan glared at Han Qin angrily, then said nothing more. Clearly, he no longer wanted to argue with her.

Qin Muxue was also feeling restless, but she held it in and looked at Chen Yang. “Chen Yang, can you go speak to Mr. Shen for us?”

“How should I put it? It’s useless,” Chen Yang said helplessly.

Qin Muxue let out a sigh.

Then she turned to Qin Guoshan and said, “Dad, don’t worry. Worrying won’t help.”

“Exactly,” Chen Yang added. “Dad, what are you so anxious about? The Qin Group only paid you a retirement salary of a little over two thousand yuan anyway, and to put it bluntly, the Qin family never really regarded you as important. Look at you—maybe they aren’t even anxious at all, and yet you’re already worried to this extent.”

Qin Guoshan shot Chen Yang a somewhat vexed glance but said nothing.

At that moment, a rapid pounding came from the villa door.

Upon hearing it, Qin Guoshan quickly rose from the sofa and hurried toward the entrance.

When Qin Guoshan reached the door and opened it, Qin Guofu suddenly pushed his way in, asking anxiously, “Guoshan, where is Muxue? Where is Muxue?”

Qin Guoshan hurriedly grabbed Qin Guofu by the wrist and said excitedly, “Brother, Muxue is at home. Come in, come in and sit down.”

Qin Guofu nodded at Qin Guoshan.

Then he strode into the living room. Seeing Qin Muxue, he said with a sorrowful expression, “Muxue, Uncle is begging you. Only you can save the company now. Uncle is begging you, please, please help us.”
