[Translator Note: The title is an idiom which has been translated into “sorry for being ignorant” usually has the context of being ignorant to a person’s ability/talent/importance]

The next day, the Wei Group’s company’s stocks continued to fall in price. After ten minutes of trading, the stocks reached their lower limit of the day. Then, a trading halt was once again implemented for those stocks.

After Wei Qirui threw a tantrum at his company, he headed towards Xuming Medical Manufacturers. He was waiting on the twelfth floor well before 12 pm.

When Zhang Xuming saw Wei Qirui arriving so early, he understood the man’s intentions. However, he didn’t say anything. In addition, he reminded Wei Qirui: “Mr. Wei, my successor has quite a strange personality. Please try to get along with them. Furthermore, try not to be upset if they offend you in any way.”

As Wei Qirui was requesting help from the successor of Xuming Medical Manufacturers, he naturally had to agree: “Don’t worry Elder Zhang. I promise to be respectful and polite to him. Furthermore, I’m willing to take the lesser portion of the profit. I just want this project to go through. I’m not really focused on how much money I can earn.”

Wei Qirui put all his cards on the table.

Previously, he hoped to rely on this project for profit. Therefore, back then, he was unwilling to take the lesser portion of the profit.

However, the situation right now was completely different. He just wanted this project to succeed.

Xuming Medical Manufacturers was a well-established organization with a good reputation. If the Wei Group successfully negotiated this deal, this would definitely be a boost of confidence for their shareholders.

As long as the deal was settled, he could announce it to the public. This meant that there would be a high probability for them to recover a lot of their losses.

However, Zhang Xuming knew exactly why Wei Qirui was willing to make compromises.

After all, right now the Wei Group was the fish meat on the chopping block. If he did not change his attitude, the entirety of the Wei Group would collapse.

However, this deal would depend on the wishes of the successor of Xuming Medical Manufacturers.

If the successor said no, there was nothing that he could do about it either.

And thus, Wei Qirui anxiously waited in Zhang Xuming’s office.

It was almost twelve o’clock. Why hasn’t “Second Master” appeared yet?

Wei Qirui could not sit still.

Every few minutes, he got up to walk back and forth. After walking for a bit, he went back to sit down.

Zhang Xuming joked: “Mr. Wei, are thorns growing on my office’s sofa?”

“Sorry Elder Zhang, I just feel a bit anxious.”

“Don’t be anxious about it. You go through these things a few times in life. You will learn from these things and grow as a person.”

When Wei Qirui heard this, he wondered whether this old man was cursing him. After all, who wanted their company to face this sort of disaster?

If it was any other time, he would have argued with Elder Zhang.

However, right now, he couldn’t afford to offend Elder Zhang.

Just when Wei Qirui was about to get up again, the door of the office opened.

Wei Qirui looked in the direction of the door with anticipation.

A man in a suit with a handsome appearance walked in.

This person was… Qin Chuan?

He was the illegitimate son of Qin Hongzhi!

At that moment, Wei Qirui froze.

Was Qin Chuan the successor of Xuming Medical Manufacturers then?

“Young Master Qin Chuan, it’s nice to see you,” Zhang Xuming greeted.

Qin Chuan made an appointment with Zhang Xuming in the morning. They were going to discuss some things today.

Previously, they planned to meet at a cafe. However, as Elder Zhang was quite old, Qin Chuan thought that it’d be better for him to come to Elder Zhang’s office.

Zhang Xuming told the receptionist that if Qin Chuan came, there was no need to inform him. He just asked someone to bring Qin Chuan to his office.

Today, Qin Chuan also had business matters to discuss with Xuming Medical Manufacturers.

Xuming Medical Manufacturers planned to collaborate with Qin Chuan’s technology company to make a medical-related app.

The person who coordinated this collaboration was Jian Yiling.

This was because Jian Yiling held a large number of shares in Qin Chuan’s technology company. She was a key stakeholder.
