From Sidekick to Bigshot

The two million dollars that she had invested in Qin Chuan’s company a few years ago had turned into a huge sum of money.

Furthermore, she held quite a lot of shares in Xuming Medical Manufacturers as well.

She didn’t want the fertile waters to flow into someone else’s fields. Therefore, she coordinated the collaboration between Elder Zhang and Qin Chuan.

Elder Zhang knew that Jian Yiling was a key stakeholder of his company. In contrast, Qin Chuan still did not know that the angel investor back then was Jian Yiling.

“Elder Zhang,” Qin Chuan greeted respectfully.

The collaboration this time was led by an important stakeholder in his company.

At the same time, it was also something that he himself was very optimistic about.

Furthermore, he trusted the investment vision of this stakeholder a lot.

Their views were surprisingly consistent.

However, at this moment, Wei Qirui assumed that Qin Chuan was the person that he was meeting today. He assumed that he was Zhang Xuming’s designated successor.

At the same time, this meant that he was the mysterious “Second Master.”

Wei Qirui stepped forward and greeted Qin Chuan with great eagerness.

“Hello, Mr. Qin Chuan. I’ve heard about your talent and ability from everyone in Beijing.”

Then, Wei Qirui extended his hand to shake hands with Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan politely shook hands with Wei Qirui as he greeted: “Mr. Wei.”

“Mr. Qin Chuan, I’m deeply honored to meet you today.”

“You’re too kind,” Qin Chuan replied. Although his words and replies were formulaic, he was still incredibly polite.

Unlike Zhai Yunsheng, Qin Chuan was a very sociable person.

As long as someone didn’t step past the line that he set in his heart, Qin Chuan would never intentionally attempt to embarrass someone else in the corporate world.

“Mr. Qin Chuan, you’re a role model for our generation. You come from a good family yet you’re also willing to create your own business. You’re much better than those individuals who merely maintain the businesses left by their ancestors,” Wei Qirui praised.

In addition to being a part of the Qin family, Qin Chuan also founded a company by himself. Therefore, Wei Qirui’s words were technically correct.

Qin Chuan was somewhat vigilant in the face of Wei Qirui’s praise.

After all, he was aware of what happened to the Wei Group in the past two days. Therefore, it was highly likely that Wei Qirui wanted to ask him for something.

However, Qin Chuan did not comment on this. Instead, he politely and detachedly replied to Wei Qirui.

However, it was as though Wei Qirui could not sense this. He continued to enthusiastically speak to Qin Chuan.

Zhang Xuming couldn’t even interrupt this one-way conversation.

“Mr. Qin Chuan, I hope we get to collaborate together. That would definitely be amazing. Although the Wei Group has encountered some troubles recently, their foundation is still there.”

Qin Chuan smiled before he nodded: “Mhmm, perhaps in the future.”

“I feel like this occasion would be perfect. Mr. Qin Chuan, please consider it properly.”

“Really? But I would have to consider many aspects of the project.”

“Yes, you’re right. What would you like to consider and examine? I will be very cooperative.”

The smile on Qin Chuan’s face became somewhat awkward.

At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door.

After two light knocks, the door of the office slowly opened.

Jian Yiling walked in from outside.

Jian Yiling wore the same clothes as usual. She wore a white sweater with black pants. Her attire was loose and simple.

Her long hair was tied into a ponytail.

As soon as he saw Jian Yiling, Wei Qirui’s expression darkened.

Why was she here?

Was she an evil spirit that haunted him?

Due to the events yesterday, Wei Qirui got upset as soon as he looked at Jian Yiling. He associated Jian Yiling with Zhai Yunsheng.

However, as Zhai Yunsheng was present, he couldn’t express his displeasure.

“Oh? You came?” Zhang Xuming said with a happy expression on his face. “Did you come by yourself? You should have me in advance. I would have sent someone over to pick you up.”

“The chauffeur drove me here.”

She was brought over by the Zhai family’s car and chauffeur. In addition, the Zhai family’s bodyguards accompanied her as well.
