Chapter 126: Your Uncle Is Chu Liyuan!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Qin Jizhang did not have the brains for business, he was nonetheless a wily old fox. The moment he realized that something was amiss, he immediately knew that New E Media must be related to Chu Liyuan.
Previously, he had already felt that something was amiss. Why would NewE Media suddenly appear out of thin air?
At that time, he even launched an investigation into it. He was only relieved when he found out that the person behind it was not Chu Liyuan. However, he had—erring on the side of caution—specially instructed the management not to cross New E Media unless they had no choice.
14/720 was the brainless idiot who crossed New E Media?
Initially, he thought that this matter would be resolved if he fired the culprit. However, it turned out to be his daughter.
It seemed that there was no way to resolve this matter peacefully.
Ever since Qin Corporation made their stance clear, E Media’s share price began plunging rapidly and took a nosedive. The office phones rang nonstop—they were all calls to terminate contracts.
If this continued, E Media would definitely go bankrupt in a few days…
Qin Jizhang summoned Qin Rou to his office in a fury. “Didn’t I say not to cross New E Media? Why did you turn a deaf ear to my words?”
“Dad, it’s just a new media company! What’s the big deal? Why are you so worked up?”
Qin Rou was still immersed in the joy of victory and did not know the news online.
“Take a look for yourself…”
Qin Jizhang tossed his cell phone to Qin Rou.
When Qin Rou saw the news, the expression on her face instantly changed from smugness to surprise. “How did this happen?”
“What do you think?”
“But hasn’t Qin Corporation always been on our side??”
Qin Rou only knew vaguely about the relationship between Qin Corporation and E Media because her father had never told her.
“Since things had come to this, I’ll tell you!”
“I have a half-brother. You know that, right?”
“Yes!”
Qin Rou had always known that she had an uncle, but she did not know who he was. She had never even met him.
“He’s Chu Liyuan!”
Qin Rou could not believe her ears.
The Devil of the corporate world, Grim Yama—Chu Liyuan—was her uncle? How was that possible?
If that was the case, how could her father not ride on the coattails of such a powerful man?
“But we don’t get along and never the twain shall meet.”
Qin Jizhang revealed.
Back then, Qin Jizhang’s father married his mother not because he liked her, but because it was a political marriage. His mother’s health was very poor and she was often confined to the bed. Therefore, the two of them did not have a blissful marriage. They could only be said to have cordial respect for each other!
His mother passed away not long after his birth. A few years later, his father remarried… His new wife was Chu Liyuan’s mother, Chu Zixin.
Not only was Chu Zixin beautiful, but she also had a head for business. She founded E Media singlehandedly.
However, Qin Jizhang had a chip on his shoulder and did not like this woman because his father had never shown such a blissful expression when he was with his mother. Hence… he hated this woman and also hated her son…
However, this woman died young too. After her death, his father’s heart died with her too. He no longer cared about the company’s matters and stayed at home every day, tending to his garden and playing chess.
As for Chu Liyuan, he went to live with his maternal grandfather.
“E Media was founded by Chu Liyuan’s mother, so Chu Liyuan has always held shares in E Media.”
“Then why did he do it?”
Qin Rou was even more confused.
“I had always wanted to buy E Media’s shares from him, but he refused to sell them. It was only recently that he took the initiative to ask me out and gave me E Media’s shares in exchange for Fang He and Xu Mengmeng’s contracts.” “Gave it to you? How is that possible? That’s worth hundreds of millions!”
Qin Rou had always found it strange! How did Fang He and Xu Mengineng suddenly terminate their contracts with E Media? So, it was because of Chu Liyuan.
But why would he give away shares worth hundreds of millions just for these two people?
“At that time, I also found it strange, but I couldn’t resist the temptation.”
“Later, when I learned about the sudden emergence of New E Media, I had guessed that it might be him. I launched an investigation, but I didn’t find anything.”
“But from the looks of it now, it must be him.”
“What are you going to do now?”
Qin Rou did not expect to catch a Tartar.
The only thing Qin Jizhang could do now… was to ask his father for help.
“Dad, you mean Grandpa?!”
“YpsJ”
His father was the only person alive who could save his skin now..
