Chapter 81 Qin Family Annual Meeting
Chapter 81 Qin Family Annual Meeting
The Qin family annual meeting has officially begun.
The seating arrangement at the annual meeting is naturally different from that at a family gathering. Qin De is at the head of the table, and those closer to him represent those with higher status within the Qin family.
Qin De's left and right sides must be Qin Chengwen and Qin Chengwu.
However, as everyone entered, they were surprised to find that Qin Jun was sitting next to Qin De.
He wouldn't usually sit here at the annual meeting, because the younger generation never sits in the first three rows, but Qin Jun made an exception.
It's obvious without even thinking that this must have been arranged by the old man.
Many young people are envious and jealous.
"Why is Qin Jun sitting there at this year's company annual meeting?"
"Could it be that Grandpa is going to pour all his resources into him?"
"I heard it's because Qin Jun's cultivation level has improved again."
"..."
Many young people are discussing it.
There were many more people at the annual meeting than at the family gathering two days prior, because those attending the annual meeting included not only the core members of the Qin family, but also many members of collateral branches and business partners.
However, the Qin family members will definitely arrive the fastest. Business partners and some martial arts alliance members will arrive later, and many will just show their faces and leave.
Qin Jun sat beside his grandfather, his face full of pride.
His wife was also beaming with pride, after all, her husband was going to become the old man's most valued grandson.
"Chengwen, Chengwu, how's the investigation into the treasury going?" Qin De asked in a low voice.
"Father, I have no clue."
"It might be some expert..."
Both brothers shook their heads.
Several days of investigation yielded no results, and it can be said that this was a heavy loss for the Qin family.
"Father, this matter can only be investigated further after the annual meeting," Qin Chengwu said.
"Hmm." Qin De looked worried, but there was nothing he could do.
Because there is no way to investigate.
The rare and precious materials in the vault inexplicably faded, which is quite puzzling.
"I've heard that rare and precious materials always have residual power. Could it be that they were absorbed by some powerful being?" Qin Chengwen guessed.
If Qin Chuan heard this, he would definitely give him a thumbs up, because he guessed correctly.
The core members of the Qin family have all taken their seats. As for the partners and the martial arts alliance, they won't be arriving anytime soon. For now, it's still their family's annual meeting.
But at that moment, everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to one person.
But then Qin Chuan walked in slowly and glanced around the annual meeting venue.
"Why...is he here?"
"Holy crap, they're really here for the company's annual party?"
"Heh, does he even have a place in the Qin family?"
Many people began to mock them quietly.
Qin De gave a barely audible snort, extremely dissatisfied with Qin Chuan's performance over the past few days.
Although the housekeeper had arranged for Qin Chuan to stay in the storage room without permission, he felt that his grandson should have some backbone and should fight for it. As a result, his grandson had been staying obediently in the storage room for the past few days without making a sound.
That's so pathetic.
What a piece of trash!
Qin De didn't bother to look at Qin Chuan any longer and quickly looked away.
The Qin family looked at him with disdain and contempt. Originally, when Qin Chuan suddenly returned to the Qin family, everyone would have been a little wary, but now they were not at all.
"Brother, look at him, he really has the courage to come to the annual meeting." Qin Sheng said with a half-smile.
Qin Lin shook his head: "It is indeed a bit pathetic."
Qin Jun, sitting next to Qin De, merely glanced at him, a look of disdain on his face before quickly looking away. In his eyes, such a person was like an ant, not worth mentioning.
"Please find a seat wherever you like."
Butler Qin was arranging everyone's seats. As soon as Qin Chuan walked in, he pointed to the corner seat and sat down there, where even the head of the family couldn't see him.
Logically speaking, no matter how powerful the direct descendants of the Qin family are, they should not be sitting in such a corner, because that corner is not even as good as the position of the collateral descendants.
But Butler Qin arranged for him to stay here.
The Qin family members all wore mocking smiles. They were quite curious to see whether Qin Chuan, after being so spineless for a few days, would explode at the annual meeting, or continue to be spineless.
"elder brother!"
Qin Lan waved her hand. She was sitting on the direct line, but there was no seat next to her. However, even if there were seats available, the Qin family would not let Qin Chuan sit there.
Upon seeing his sister, Qin Chuan revealed a rare gentle smile, then walked towards the corner that Butler Qin had just pointed to.
"Damn, is this guy really that spineless?" Qin Sheng was speechless.
Qin Lin didn't say anything, because he had stopped paying attention to Qin Chuan.
"Useless." Qin Jun's eyes were cold. Compared to himself, he was worlds apart.
Qin De sighed. He hadn't really been paying much attention to Qin Chuan anymore, but in this situation, being assigned to such a corner, even with his grandfather there, his grandson didn't dare utter a sound.
Disappointed!
I'm so disappointed.
"Grandpa, he's still your grandson, my brother. It's not appropriate for him to be sitting in that corner," Qin Jun said kindly.
"Let him be." Qin De waved his hand, not wanting to pay attention at all.
Butler Qin revealed a smug smile, and as Qin Chuan passed by him, he didn't forget to whisper, "Young Master Qin Chuan, I'm so sorry, there are no seats left for you in the front row."
These words sound more like sarcasm and provocation, as if showing off the fruits of victory in front of the enemy.
Qin Chuan ignored him, because in his eyes the butler was just a dead man, and when he would die was naturally up to him.
You cannot discuss ice with a summer insect, you cannot discuss the sea with a frog in a well, and you cannot discuss the Tao with an ordinary person.
"Huh, who is he? Why is he sitting in that corner?" Some of the collateral relatives were unaware of what had happened and had no idea who Qin Chuan was.
"Oh, he's my maternal grandfather's grandson, but I heard he's been living in the storeroom these past few days. At today's company party, he didn't even get a seat as good as ours. How pathetic."
"Oh, your own grandson is doing so poorly?"
"This is... way too pathetic!"
Many members of the collateral branches looked disgusted.
Qin Lan looked at her brother with concern, feeling inexplicably regretful. She shouldn't have let her brother attend this annual meeting. She was afraid to come alone, so she called her brother, but now he was suffering this unfair treatment.
"Grandpa, how can my brother sit there?" Qin Lan stood up, unable to bear it any longer. She was especially annoyed by everyone's comments about her brother.
"Miss Qin Lan, this is the Qin family's annual party, you can't fool around!" Butler Qin hurriedly reminded her.
Qin De wasn't angry, though. His granddaughter dared to stand up and say something, but this grandson didn't dare to utter a single word.
However, he didn't answer Qin Lan's question, but instead formally announced, "The Qin family annual meeting begins!"
