From Sidekick to Bigshot

He Yan couldn’t help but comment: “Sister-in-law, was I wrong with what I just said? It seems as though Yiling’s face is quite useful. We may still have to count on her for our family business.”

He Yan could no longer hide the sour taste in her words.

No matter how nice her words were, Wen Nuan was not going to show her mercy. She didn’t want to sugarcoat her words any longer!

Wen Nuan’s face sank before she immediately replied: “Well if we have to count on Yiling, why don’t we just hand over all the family business to Yiling? What do you think about that?”

He Yan was unable to reply to this.

He Yan was most concerned about the Jian family’s assets. How could she possibly be willing to hand over all the family businesses to someone else? There was no way that she would be willing to do so.

He Yan smiled and explained: “Sister-in-law, you’re misinterpreting my words. I’m just saying that Yiling is lucky to have such a face. It’s good that she can help the family. It’s not a bad thing.”

Wen Nuan looked at He Yan coldly. She was not bothered to argue with her anymore.

In any case, her daughter wouldn’t become involved in this.

There were a lot of people who came to the launch of the new product. Qin Shixuan from the Qin family also attended. Qin Shixuan was representing the Yao Li Chemistry and Advanced Materials Research Institution.

As he managed an organization that also did chemical material research, he naturally had some interactions with Master Liang’s company.

Qin Shixuan was quite curious about the new products that Master Liang had innovated.

He was also curious about the expert who had provided support in the final product.

In addition to the core technology that was required, the advancement of hardware technology was also incredibly important.

Without hardware upgrades, it was impossible to support a product with merely conceptual algorithms.

Master Liang’s new product development had also been stuck on the hardware step.

“Uncle,” Qin Yufan greeted. Upon seeing Qin Shixuan, Qin Yufan took the initiative to talk to him.

“Yufan, I didn’t expect you to be interested in this launch too.”

Qin Yufan had the talent and reputation to do many things. Her influence in the Qin family was much greater than Qin Shixuan’s. This was because Qin Shixuan was merely a collateral relative whilst Qin Yufan was a direct descendant.

“There’s no reason for me not to come to Master Liang’s product launch. What about you though? Are you here for the new products?”

“I’m interested in the new products that Master Liang is putting into the market. However, I’m more interested in the expert who provided technical support.”

“Ahh, that’s true. You’re also in the same industry,” Qin Yufan replied. She could understand why her uncle was interested in such a person.

“Previously, the person who was responsible for Master Liang’s company had contacted us. They wanted us to provide relevant technical support. However, after our analysis, we realized that we could not meet Master Liang’s standards and requirements. Due to this reason, we had to refuse such an arrangement.”

Qin Shixuan wanted to collaborate with Master Liang’s company. However, his Institution was unable to meet the standard that Master Liang required.

“Ahhh, after you said that, I’ve also become interested in this person,” Qin Yufan replied. She was intrigued by Qin Shixuan’s words.

Jian Yiling arrived at the event rather late. The venue was already full of people.

As Master Liang had invited her to attend, Jian Yiling couldn’t simply refuse the invitation.

As soon as she entered, she saw Qin Shixuan and Qin Yufan. The two of them were chatting.

When Qin Shixuan saw Jian Yiling, he took the initiative to greet her: “Miss Yiling.”

Qin Shixuan had a smile and a benevolent look on his face.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling nodded her reply. She didn’t know Qin Shixuan well. Due to this reason, her response to him was rather cold.

“Are you also interested in today’s new product launch?” Qin Shixuan asked. He was obviously more enthusiastic than Jian Yiling.
