Outside the Qin Corporation Building, many police cars were parked in front of the building because of the trouble stirred up by the debt-collecting merchants.
Qin Gengxin came out to solve the problem and was negotiating with the police when someone from the crowd suddenly threw a can of Coke at him. It brutally hit him on the shoulder and he could hear someone cursing from afar.
Qin Gengxin didn't look back, only paused for two seconds before continuing his discussion with the police.
Huang Jingguo, on the other hand, was so angry that he immediately called the security guard to drag the man out. The crowd immediately fell into chaos.
Qin Gengxin furiously scolded him, "Huang Jingguo, let the person go."
"But boss!"
"Even I can endure it, but why can't you?"
Huang Jingguo could not stand the way Qin Gengxin was scolded by these merchants. Now, they actually dared to throw away a can of Coke towards him. However, seeing Qin Gengxin's serious expression, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and call the security guards to return.
After that, all the merchants who were fighting in front of Qin's building were called to the police station to record their statements. Seeing the commotion began to settle down. Qin Gengxin walked back to his office.
Huang Jingguo followed behind him, and seeing his pale face, he immediately asked with concern as they walked inside the elevator. "Boss, you haven't eaten well in these few days, and you've been drinking with the bosses for the last few nights to pull some rope. Plus, you only sleep three hours a day! You can't keep going on like this. Boss, if this continues, not only will the company be doomed, you will collapse too!"
Qin Gengxin didn't say anything. He just looked at his reflection from the mirror in the elevator.
During this time, he had asked someone to check the phone call records in an apartment Bai Nuying resided in. On the records, there's Xian Guiying's number. The time of the call was on the day where he was unconscious and admitted to the hospital.
Even if he didn't know the contents of the call, it didn't take too much for him to understand what exactly had happened. He didn't know what Bai Nuying was saying to Xian Guiying, but he could guess that whatever Bai Nuying said to her was not something simple.
"Boss …"
Seeing Qin Gengxin ignoring him as he walked out of the elevator, Huang Jingguo could only stand in front of the elevator and watched him enter his office. He was really worried about Qin Gengxin's health.
Actually, Qin Gengxin's relationship with business partners had always been good, but Bai Group was a leading company among all Chinese. Due to the pressure exerted by them, Qin Gengxin was still unable to solve this matter.
Now, the most important project had gone into Mrs. Bai's hand. If Qin Gengxin didn't meet Mrs. Bai, then it would be very difficult for Qin Corporation to rise again.
Huang Jingguo sighed. He then remembered someone, so he quickly went to the corridor and called her.
Half an hour later …
Huang Jingguo entered Qin Gengxin's office with his phone. He saw Qin Gengxin was having a video chat with an English businessman, but apparently, the content of the conversation was really unpleasant.
When Huang Jingguo entered, Qin Gengxin immediately ended the call.
"Boss, someone is calling you."
Qin Gengxin glanced at him and asked, "Who is it?"
Huang Jingguo didn't say anything, he just smiled and looked at him. "Just answer it."
Qin Gengxin signaled to Huang Jingguo to bring the phone to him. Huang Jingguo quickly approached him and handed the phone to him. Qin Gengxin put the phone to his ear, but before he could open his mouth, he heard a voice from the other side. "Brother Gengxin! I'm locked in the house by my mother! She won't let me out! I can't call anyone else, I just can receive a call! Brother Gengxin, I know what my mother did to Qin Corporation. I'm so sorry! I didn't think my mother would do this to you! But I can't go out now, so you have to come to New York and meet my mother and ask her to let me out. Brother Gengxin, I'm sorry."
"Please don't hate me. I really didn't think my mother would take revenge on you in this way. I.."
Qin Gengxin calmly watched the sunset through the French window, not saying a word.
"Brother Gengxin, my mother thought I had been abused, but she was wrong. I really didn't know that you had a daughter and when I came back to New York, I was sad. My mother asked me what had happened, so I told her everything, but I didn't think she would lock me in the room the next day, wouldn't let me out, and then she started pressing Qin Corporation. Brother Gengxin, I'm really sorry. If I knew you had a daughter, I wouldn't dare chase you like that and when I found out that you had a daughter, I knew I couldn't have you anymore."
"Bai Nuying." Qin Gengxin's voice was very light and calm. He didn't ask about the matter between him and Mrs. Bai, instead he asked about something else with an indifferent tone. "About a year ago, Xian Guiying called me at that apartment. What did you say to her on the phone?"
Bai Nuying immediately went silent.
"The reason my Qin was reduced to such a state was also because of my own failure. I don't blame anyone." His voice was very, very low. "I just want to know, what did you say to Xian Guiying at that time?"
"I … I … "Bai Nuying's voice was filled with tears as she said, "Brother Gengxin, you still have to come and see my mother."
"Tell me! What did you say?" Qin Gengxin's voice had a bit of coldness and pressure, making it hard for Bai Nuying to breathe. She could only hold the phone and cried.
"I …I said … "Bai Nuying sobbed. "I said … You and I … We were sleeping together."
Qin Gengxin hung up the phone. He slowly placed the phone on the table and leaned his head back in his chair, staring at the large chandelier in the office.
No wonder.
No wonder Xian Guiying hated him so much.
Qin Gengxin closed his eyes, recalling Xian Guiying's expression at that time. No wonder her eyes were filled with disgust and rejection at the sight of him. With her personality, if she really thought he was really with another woman when Qin Wenqian was sick, it would be no wonder if she felt disgusted.
Qin Gengxin sighed and rubbed his glabella, his face full of fatigue.
Huang Jingguo entered the office again and watched him before slowly asking with a questioning face. "President Qin …"
Qin Gengxin didn't open his eyes to look at him.
"President Qin, is Miss Bai willing to help you? Do you want to –."
"Make the arrangements for this afternoon. I'm going to see Hendriksen." Qin Gengxin interrupted him.
"You won't see Mrs. Bai in New York?" Huang Jingguo asked anxiously. "Miss Bai said she would definitely ask for mercy from Mrs. Bai. President Qin –"
"The Qin Corporation went in the wrong direction from the beginning. We shouldn't have gone this way, relying on the investment of others. Cooperation with banks is simple, as long as we can get the right share of the profit. If we seek assistance from those so-called investors, the worst results will be as they are now." Qin Gengxin cast a cold glance at him. "Once the empire falls, everyone pushes against it!"
"It's good for them to leave now. At the very least, we can start from scratch and negotiate again. We can take care of them all." He slowly said, "It's time to overhaul the cards."
"Then what are you going to do? Our stock market has plummeted."
"I know what I'm doing. First, suppress the people inside the company and don't let them mess around. As long as I stay as CEO, the company won't really close down. Believe me." Qin Gengxin looked at him with an encouraging smile.
Huang Jingguo understood Qin Gengxin. After all, he had worked with him for years.
Huang Jingguo immediately smiled and nodded. "Ok, boss, I understand!"
The moment he left the office, the smile on Qin Gengxin's face gradually faded.
