This was not Qin Chun being pretentious. If Yu Shuyuan was here, she would be very happy for Xiao Bingyang to go and show off a bit. It would also give Yu Shuyuan some comfort.
But today she didn't need it.
Grandpa's house is in the old city area of Anzhou City. It's a place where every inch of land is precious. This was the first real estate project developed by Qin Chengshan shortly after his company was just established in the early years. At that time, he himself didn't have much capital. Only by begging everywhere for loans and being frugal everywhere to control manufacturing costs could it be successfully built. Because the building quality was good and the appreciation potential was high, it laid a good reputation for the company. After that, the real estate brand "Qin Garden" advanced all the way. He also became a real estate tycoon in name.
After Qin Chengshan became prosperous, he never forgot to support his family. He gave shares to his parents, siblings. He took care of all relatives and friends he could. He also built schools and paved roads in his hometown. Unfortunately, good people don't have good rewards. He left the world early.
Standing at grandpa's door, Qin Chun took a deep breath.
Grandpa sent her a message last night asking her to come over today for the whole family to have a meal. She had expected it a long time ago. This conflict among relatives is inevitable. She doesn't know what choice Qin Chengshan would make if he had a spirit in heaven.
But she knew that she had no way back.
If she retreated, Qin Garden Group and Qin Chengshan might carry a lifetime of notoriety.
The servant opened the door and invited her in. The whole family was in the living room. Qin Chengliang's family of four, Qin Chenglan's family of three and grandpa were sitting on the sofa. Watching TV, playing games. It was very lively.
"Xiao Yu is here. Let's have a meal. Let's have a meal," The aunt greeted warmly. "I also called your mom. She said she went to the temple and couldn't come."
"Yes, my mom went to do religious rituals for my dad," Qin Chun said politely. "Auntie, you must be very busy."
"It's okay. We are all family. Don't say such polite words." The aunt patted her son Qin He who was buried in playing games and pretended to be angry. "Still playing! As a boy, you should think carefully about how to help the family do things and also help your dad share some burden."
There was something implied in these words. It seemed to be insinuating something.
Qin Chengliang had a daughter and a son. The daughter has already started working and is teaching in a middle school. The son Qin He is just a freshman this year and is studying business in a second-rate university.
As the only male in the Qin family, Qin He has been very favored since he was a child. Fortunately, he hasn't been spoiled. Except for loving to play games, he is usually obedient and has a good relationship with Qin Chun.
Qin Chun smiled. "Xiao He is very good at playing games. Last time he took me to play a few rounds when he was online."
Qin He quickly defeated his opponent. Only then did he proudly puff out his chest. "Mom, listen. My sister praised me. Now playing games is not a waste of time. It's a serious profession."
The aunt's face changed. She slapped his head hard. "What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister is the general manager herself. Can she encourage you to play games?"
Qin He suffered pain and muttered a few words.
Qin Chengliang coughed lightly twice. "Okay. Let's go. Let's have a meal."
"Where's Mu Yun?" The aunt looked outside twice. "I heard that he is back in Anzhou. Why didn't he come with you?"
Grandpa was also a bit disappointed. "Yes, Xiao Yu. Where's Mu Yun?"
"Grandpa, he is busy," Qin Chun was calm. "Let me send my regards to you. When he has time later, he will come to see you."
Grandpa sighed and hesitated for a long time before saying. "Xiao Yu. If he bullies you, tell us. Although your dad is gone, we won't let you be bullied by him."
"Grandpa, don't worry. I will take care of myself." Qin Chun said with a smile.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Aunt Yu is a distant relative of the Qin family. She has taken care of grandpa for many years. The dishes she cooks are also to Qin Chun's taste. In the past when Qin Chengshan was alive, their family could come and stay for two or three days a week.
After dinner, grandpa asked Aunt Yu to serve tea and let all the juniors go out.
"Let's have a family meeting today," Grandpa looked around seriously. "Xiao Yu. Your mom can't come back. She said she listens to me. For major matters, let me make the decision."
Qin Chun was silent.
"Dad, maybe I should step down and let someone more capable take over," Qin Chengliang said with difficulty. "After all, this company was founded by my elder brother. It's normal for Xiao Yu to want to take it back. We are all family. Don't hurt our relationship for money."
"Oh," The aunt exclaimed and looked sad. "I said long ago that you shouldn't do such thankless things. In the past few years, you haven't even taken care of your family. You have been busy with the company every day and even got stomach problems. Now it's good. You are still being criticized by your own niece. Dad, you should say something fair."
"Xiao Yu," Grandpa couldn't hold back anymore. "What's on your mind? Today let's speak frankly. Don't hide anything. After we finish speaking and solve it, we are still a family."
"Okay, grandpa. Since it's like this, then I'll say what's on my mind," Qin Chun raised her eyes and looked at Qin Chengliang. "Uncle. It's not about money. I think your development concept deviates from the original intention of my dad when he founded Qin Garden. Taohuayuan Town is Qin Garden's key project. I don't understand why you want to cut it off."
"Xiao Yu. Originally, I could give up the position of chairman to you. But now that you say this, uncle has to have a good discussion with you," Qin Chengshan immediately became serious. "You are still young after all. You don't see problems deeply and far enough. In the current situation, almost all real estate tycoons are trying to transform. How many cultural and tourism towns across the country are deserted and overgrown with grass. You still insist on getting involved in cultural and tourism real estate. Isn't this joking with your dad's foundation? Key projects can also be changed. They should be adjusted at any time according to the situation. The company should be the top priority."
"Then according to uncle's meaning, you insist on cutting off this project?" Qin Chun pursed her lips and her gaze gradually became sharp. "Those owners who bought the first and second phases and the construction companies that are owed project payments. Are you not going to take care of them?"
"Listen to this. Isn't what Xiao Yu said being overly sentimental? " Qin Chengliang laughed. "Xiao Yu. The owners of the first phase have nothing to do with us at all. As for the second phase and the construction company, just follow the normal legal procedures. At that time, we will compensate as we should. Fortunately, we had foresight. Big projects are all set up separate subsidiaries with separate financial accounting. It won't involve the head office. Even if it goes bankrupt and liquidates and compensates some money, it's still less loss than continuing the project. The purpose of our company is to make money, not to be a philanthropist."
"Yes. According to me, what Xiao Yu should do urgently now is not the company but Mu Yun. It's not that aunt is being long-winded. In the past two years, Mu Yun has never taken you seriously. You have to first make efforts to stabilize Mu Yun. Don't let other women take advantage of the vacancy. This is the most important thing. Otherwise, I'm afraid your dad won't be at ease even in heaven." The aunt followed closely and said earnestly. "For girls, it's still most important to manage your husband. Let the men of the Qin family worry about the Qin family's company. In this way, you can easily get dividends. In the future, you will also have the confidence of having your natal family backing you up at your in-laws' house. Isn't this a win-win thing?"
