From Sidekick to Bigshot

Another person in the Qin family was also trying to contact Lahaisen Hospital. This person was Qin Yufan’s father, Qin Hongzhi. He was the current head of the Qin family. At the same time, he was also the CEO and chairman of the Qin Group.

Qin Hongzhi and Qin Chuan were father and son. The two of them shared 60-70% resemblance.

Qin Hongzhi looked like an aged version of Qin Chuan.

Even now, he was still very dignified. Back in the days, he was a rather popular man.

One of his cousins who was an influential director in the Qin family was ill. As a result, his cousin was in urgent need of medical attention.

His cousin had announced that he was willing to hand over all his shares in the Qin family to anyone who could cure him.

Of course, Qin Hongzhi wanted to get his hands on these shares. If these shares fell in the hands of anyone else, it would undoubtedly be a huge hidden threat for Qin Hongzhi and the entire Qin Group.

And thus, he hoped to get into contact with Lahaisen Hospital. He wanted to reach an agreement with Lahaisen Hospital as he wanted to seize those shares.

He was willing to pay a sum of money that was equivalent to the shares that were going to be given away. In exchange, he wanted ownership of the shares.

Qin Hongzhi called over Qin Chuan. He told him about his idea and asked him to be in charge of this matter.

Qin Hongzhi called Qin Chuan over to discuss this matter with him as he was more inclined to hand the Qin family over to Qin Chuan. However, this wasn’t because he doubted his daughter’s abilities.

On the contrary, he recognized his daughter’s abilities.

However, the Qin family had passed their legacy down to their sons for generations. It would be against ancestral tradition to pass it on to his daughter.

This was the reason why a number of elders in the Qin family supported Qin Chuan.

Qin Hongzhi told Qin Chuan: “We can’t let outsiders get their hands on these shares. Your uncle is currently ill and thus, he’s not thinking about this clearly. However, we can’t just let him hand over those shares to someone else. Therefore, we only have two options in front of us. The first option is to reach an agreement with Lahaisen Hospital. The second is to simply not treat him.”

This was not something that Qin Hongzhi would have said in front of other people. However, he was rather blunt with his words in front of his son.

Then, he continued at length: “The shares of the Qin family cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. Especially, if it’s such a large amount. Once an outsider holds too many shares, they will have the ability to interfere with the decisions of the Board. That’s an incredibly dangerous situation for us. And thus, there are only two options. The first option is for your uncle to die. If that happens, the shares under his name will be inherited by his children. Of course, the second option is to reach an agreement with Lahaisen Hospital.”

Qin Chuan frowned when he heard this. He understood what his father meant.

This was about the interests of the Qin Group.

However, his uncle held those assets in the first place. As a result, his uncle had the right to decide how he wanted to use them.

“I don’t think this is right. We have no right to interfere with his decision.”

“Qin Chuan, you have to be ruthless in the corporate world. Have you thought about the consequences if your uncle’s shares fell into the hands of people who harbored evil intentions towards the Qin Group?”

“Lahaisen Hospital only accepts a limited number of patients each year. We don’t even know if he’s going to be treated by them. I don’t think it matters if we don’t intervene.”

“Qin Chuan, you still have so much to learn! You shouldn’t have such wishful thinking in the corporate world!”

Qin Chuan frowned. He didn’t want to argue with Qin Hongzhi.

Upon seeing this, Qin Hongzhi said: “Ahh, go back and think about it first. Come back to me when you understand the situation properly.”

And thus, the conversation between Qin Hongzhi and Qin Chuan ended unhappily.
