From Sidekick to Bigshot

He Yan had found out the expert that had solved the problem for Master Liang’s new product was not a permanent employee of his company. He had been merely hired to work on this one project.

And thus, He Yan started to scheme.

The company that she had invested in had lost this round. However, there were more product developments to come in the future.

If she managed to bring such talent under her banner, it would be great news for both the technology company she invested in and for future development in other areas as well.

The launch of Liang Shuo’s new technology product was a lively event. People from almost all walks of life showed up at its launch.

Even the Qin family, who were temporarily in Hengyuan City, attended as well.

It wasn’t the launch itself that attracted people. But rather, people came because of Master Liang.

Even the Qin and Zhai family had to be mindful of Master Liang.

If a family wanted to maintain its long-term prosperity, it was important to keep up with the pace of the times. This meant that it was crucial to keep up with technological advances. If they didn’t, in the near future, they wouldn’t even know how they managed to die.

Qin Yufan and Qin Chuan both arrived at the launch. After seeing Master Liang, Qin Yufan greeted him and said:

“Master Liang, I really didn’t expect to see you here.” Qin Yufan said this with the utmost respect in her voice.

“I did not expect to see you here as well,” Master Liang replied kindly.

Master Liang had quite a good impression of Qin Yufan. Although she was young, she was still incredibly competent and straightforward. At her age, she was already showing the signs of her capability.

“I never knew that Fei Yue was a company that was under your name.”

“It’s just a small company. I created this company because I wanted to make a transition to other products. I didn’t want to make it a big deal,” Master Liang replied with a light smile on his face.

Qin Yufan knew very well that this was a modest remark.

With Master Liang’s status and background, as long as his name was associated with the company, there would be many people willing to invest in his projects.

Master Liang’s gaze fell on Qin Chuan.

As Qin Chuan was the illegitimate son of the Qin family, the outside world had paid a lot of attention to him.

However, Master Liang paid more attention to Qin Chuan’s company. He had founded the company before he had returned to the Qin family.

In Master Liang’s eyes, Qin Chuan was quite a talented person. He could achieve a lot of things in life.

Even if he had not been recognized by the Qin family, he would have been able to make a career with his own skills.

“Hello, Master Liang,” Qin Chuan greeted. He was polite with his greeting. Although it was his first time meeting Master Liang, Qin Chuan did not seem to be overly attentive.

Master Liang nodded before he said: “You’re quite a handsome young man. If I had a granddaughter, I would like to introduce her to you. However, unfortunately, I do not have one.”

Qin Chuan merely smiled upon hearing this.

He wasn’t uncomfortable with such occasions. But rather, he didn’t want to use the Qin family’s name to attend such occasions.

Furthermore, Qin Chuan was well aware of Qin Yufan’s hostility towards him. He didn’t want to steal Qin Yufan’s thunder right in front of her.

After Master Liang spoke with the Qin siblings for a while, the Jian family had also arrived.

Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan had arrived at a separate time from Jian Shuhong and He Yan. They had left their own homes. They planned to meet up at the entrance of the launch.

The two men in the Jian family arrived with their respective wives. Their wives were different in their temperament and charm.

Jian Shuxing’s brows had anxiety furrowed between them.

Jian Yubo’s matter was like a sharp blade that was hanging over the heads of the Jian family.

They hadn’t told anyone else in the family about this matter yet. This included his second brother, Jian Shuhong.
