[The person who bullied her was driven away. Hmm, I'm satisfied. —Tan Zixi]
—————
The Qin Family's main residence belonged to Qin Xunmi; this was something the Old Master had long ago announced and notarized within the Qin Family.
Old Master Qin and Madam Qin had left truly many things for Qin Xunmi.
As for why the Original Owner lost so miserably, it must be said that she was ultimately harmed by the protagonist's halo.
She, Xun Mi, would not; this could also be considered something Qin Sheng brought upon himself.
If the announcement had been made a bit later, the veterans in the company would have been almost entirely won over by Qin Huai Se.
Even the personal lawyer entrusted by Old Master Qin would have been moved by Qin Huai Se's kindness and fragility, leading to the destruction of all documents regarding the transfer of shares.
But now, well, I'm truly sorry, but repeating the same mistakes doesn't suit me.
A faint smile curled at the corners of her lips, yet her eyes were ice-cold, seemingly without a trace of warmth.
Everyone who came to the banquet today was apprehensive, weighing their options carefully.
Qin Sheng had originally been waiting for those people to flatter him, wanting to pave the way for his younger daughter, but instead, he heard such an obviously merciless remark and was instantly infuriated.
"Qin Xunmi, what do you mean? Don't forget, this is the Qin Family's main residence."
"I am the Head of the Qin Family. If anyone is leaving, it's you."
He was truly enraged and didn't stop to think why Qin Xunmi was acting so righteously. He only knew that Qin Xunmi had disgraced him at this moment.
And she did it in front of everyone. As an elder, how could he swallow this insult?
Xun Mi gave a cold laugh. "President Qin, your words are truly laughable. The Qin Family's main residence has never been yours."
So what if he was the Head of the Qin Family? If she wanted, she could destroy the Qin Family in minutes. It was just one Qin Family, after all.
Not to mention she still had a vast amount of capital in her hands, even if she had to start from scratch again, she was now openly on good terms with Tan Zixi. Was she afraid she couldn't rise up?
She thought she finally understood why the task issued by the system was a counterattack mission.
Because the Male Protagonist was a golden thigh! If she conquered him, he would definitely be a walking guarantee for all sorts of life security.
Xun Mi knew she was being arrogant and even a bit flighty, but she couldn't help it.
Her eyes hurt just looking at these two scumbags. If she didn't fight back now, she probably wouldn't want to eat dinner tonight.
"President Qin, please leave. Don't make things too ugly."
As the BOSS's capable assistant, Kevin stepped forward very tactfully.
Although he had only stepped forward because he just received the BOSS's death stare, he expressed that he was truly hurt.
Qin Sheng originally wanted to say something more, but after seeing the person was Tan Zixi's personal secretary, he immediately shut his mouth.
Even though his heart was full of resentment and anger, he could only temporarily endure it.
"Hmph, for President Tan's sake, I won't lower myself to your level today."
Tomorrow, he would let Qin Xunmi know exactly who was the master of the Qin Family.
Qin Huai Se looked at Xun Mi resentfully, the hatred in her eyes almost manifesting as black smoke.
After leading Qin Huai Se out of the Qin Family gates, the smile Qin Sheng had barely maintained vanished instantly, replaced by a gloom so dark it could swallow a person.
"Father, please don't be angry. I'm sure Sister didn't do it on purpose."
"It's all my fault today. I shouldn't have appeared so suddenly and made Sister feel uncomfortable."
"But I really just wanted to congratulate Sister. Father, please don't have any conflict with Sister because of me."
"She is the successor appointed by Grandfather. Today she has just reached adulthood and can take control of the company's shares."
"If you and Sister have any conflict, it won't be good for the company either."
Qin Huai Se's face was twisted and hideous. With her head lowered, she stepped forward to take Qin Sheng's arm and acted spoiled.
When she raised her head again, she had reverted to a pitiful appearance.
Especially that way of seemingly speaking up for Xun Mi while actually finding every way to smear her—she was certainly putting in the effort.
Sure enough, after hearing Qin Huai Se say this, Qin Sheng immediately became even more furious.
Completely disregarding where they were, he began to curse directly.
"What kind of thing is that Qin Xunmi? Even if the Old Master left her shares, she can't hold the Qin Family in her hand."
"There's no place for a little brat like her to speak in the company yet. Huai Se, don't be afraid."
"Tomorrow, you come to the company with Father. I'll arrange for you to learn at the General Manager's side."
"Once you're familiar with the company, you can come and help share Father's burden."
Qin Sheng lightly patted Qin Huai Se's shoulder, a smile appearing in his eyes.
The younger daughter was better after all; she was so kind, making excuses for that wretched girl at every turn.
If it hadn't been for the pressure from the Old Master back then, how could he have married Liu Ningxin? He would have been with his true love long ago.
Therefore, he didn't like that woman, and by extension, he didn't like Qin Xunmi either.
He just hadn't expected the Old Master to like Qin Xunmi so much, making it impossible for him to bring Huai Se back.
He had finally waited for the old man to die, only to be disgraced like this by Qin Xunmi now, causing a belly full of fire to accumulate.
"Okay, I'll listen to Father. Father, let's leave first. If Sister sees us, she'll be unhappy."
Qin Huai Se didn't miss a single chance to slander Qin Xunmi. The weak and gentle smile on her face looked very innocent.
Qin Sheng liked this Qin Huai Se even more. Having such a sensible daughter was truly comforting.
Neither of the departing pair noticed that just on the other side of the wall, two people were standing there openly eavesdropping.
Fei Tianzhi and Luo Zhen looked at each other, their faces full of amusement.
Neither of them had originally planned to come. After all, as members of the Three Major Families, they only needed to maintain appearances.
Moreover, it was the coming-of-age ceremony for a successor with all sorts of bad reputations; they had used the excuse of being busy to let their family elders come instead.
The reason they appeared here was because their fathers had notified them that President Tan had arrived, so they hurried over.
They just hadn't expected to hear such an interesting conversation as soon as they arrived. This Qin Family was really going to be in for some trouble.
"Tell me, is this illegitimate daughter more formidable, or is that Eldest Miss Qin with all the history more formidable?"
Fei Tianzhi asked with quite a bit of excitement. He really couldn't wait now; what should he do?
Luo Zhen rolled his eyes at Fei Tianzhi, lifted his foot, and walked around him.
There was absolutely no need to guess about such a thing. If Tan Zixi stood on Eldest Miss Qin's side, even if that illegitimate daughter was formidable, she wouldn't be able to turn the world upside down.
Of course, as for the specifics, he still needed to see with his own eyes before drawing a conclusion.
It seemed that after he went back, he would have to have a good talk with his subordinates.
Seeing that the other person was ignoring him, Fei Tianzhi touched his nose and grumbled in his heart that they really couldn't play together happily anymore.
When the two walked into the hall, the scene inside had returned to its lively state.
Xun Mi and Tan Zixi were standing on the small balcony, talking about something with beaming smiles.
"Brother Zixi, thank you. If possible, can we... cooperate?"
This was the decision she had made after careful consideration.
Qin Xunmi's wish was to not let the Qin Family fall into the hands of outsiders and to take the Qin Family to the next level.
As such, she had to put in 120% of her energy into managing it. For her, it was very challenging.
