Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 303

The commotion surrounding Old Madam Qin's return had not yet subsided, and Madam Qin was feeling unwell because of Old Madam Qin's situation.

After a diagnosis by the family doctor, it was discovered that Mrs. Qin had been showing mild signs of depression recently, and she needed to recuperate at home.

Qin Shengsheng originally planned to stay and take care of Madam Qin, but Yan Lan felt that she was already in her final year of high school and should not neglect her studies, so she let her go to class.

Yan Lan asked Qin Shi to go to the company and keep an eye on things. She felt that although Shen Yunzhong had been forced to resign as acting chairman, he would not give up and would definitely continue to make underhanded moves. Qin Shi had no choice but to go to the company first.

When Yan Lan entered the room, Madam Qin was leaning against the hospital bed, her pale face almost transparent in the sunlight.

She was wearing a light gray cashmere cardigan, her long, black hair was loosely tied back, and the fine lines around her eyes were more pronounced than usual.

Yan Lan walked in carrying a cup of hot milk. When she saw Madam Qin staring blankly out the window, her heart tightened slightly.

"Mom, have some milk."

She said softly, placing the cup on the small table in front of Madam Qin.

Madam Qin then snapped out of her daze and forced a smile: "Lanlan, thank you for your hard work."

Her voice was a little hoarse, and her fingers unconsciously rubbed the rim of the cup.

"Please don't say that. I'll go for a walk with you in the garden."

Yan Lan sat down next to her. Today she was wearing a light blue knitted dress, and her long black hair was simply tied into a ponytail, making her look refreshing and capable.

In the garden, the autumn sun shone warmly but not harshly. Yan Lan pushed Madam Qin's wheelchair, accompanying her on a slow walk.

"Lanlan, about yesterday..." Madam Qin suddenly spoke, her voice filled with deep apology, "I never expected Mother to treat you that way."

Yan Lan paused, then continued walking as if nothing had happened: "Mom, this isn't your fault."

Just then, Yan Lan's phone rang.

Yan Lan saw that it was Situ Qing calling.

"What happened?" Yan Lan asked, puzzled.

"We just received news that Shen Yunzhong and Liu Jinnian went to Hurricane Capital, and they took away Qin Qi's core design blueprints."

Yan Lan's pupils suddenly contracted, and her fingers unconsciously tightened, gripping her phone tightly.

Madam Qin keenly sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, Mom."

Yan Lan quickly adjusted her expression.

Madam Qin grasped Yan Lan's hand: "Is there trouble at the company?"

Yan Lan hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth: "Shen Yunzhong may want to join forces with Hurricane Capital to deal with us."

Kick me out of the board.

Madam Qin's hands trembled slightly, but her eyes gradually hardened: "Why would he do this?"

This is a company secret.

Is there some mistake?

Even now, Qin Fengren still harbors illusions about Shen Yunzhong.

"Mom, there's something I need to tell you..."

Yan Lan hesitated, wanting to tell Madam Qin that Shen Yunzhong's betrayal was not limited to the company.

But seeing Madam Qin's pale face and increasingly frail body, Yan Lan swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue...

Meanwhile, in the conference room of Hurricane Capital, Shen Yunzhong and Liu Jinnian sat upright.

Shen Yunzhong wore a custom-made dark blue suit today, and the diamond on his tie clip sparkled under the lights.

He kept adjusting the documents in front of him, glancing towards the door every now and then.

Liu Jinnian seemed absent-minded, his gaze shifting behind his gold-rimmed glasses.

"Don't be nervous," Shen Yunzhong said in a low voice, "As long as we take over Hurricane Capital, we can turn the tide."

The meeting room door was suddenly pushed open.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

A familiar voice made the father and son look up at the same time, and then their expressions turned to shock.

Standing at the door was none other than Zhao Nan!

But Zhao Nan was completely different from the timid assistant she used to be. Now she was dressed in a well-tailored black suit, her hair was neatly combed, and she exuded the aura of a Wall Street elite in every gesture.

“Zhao...Zhao Nan?” Liu Jinnian stood up in disbelief.

Zhao Nan smiled slightly and calmly walked to the head seat and sat down.

"Assistant Liu, it's been a long time."

His gaze swept over the two men, finally settling on the documents in front of Shen Yunzhong.

"Is this the 'sincerity' you're offering me?"

Shen Yunzhong quickly recovered from his shock, adjusted his glasses, and revealed a businessman's smile.

"Mr. Zhao, I didn't expect you to be the head of Hurricane Capital. These are the latest design drawings for Qin Auto's new energy vehicles; I think you'll be interested."

Zhao Nan took the document and slowly flipped through it.

The meeting room was eerily quiet, with only the rustling of papers turning.

Suddenly, he closed the file, a meaningful smile appearing on his face: "Mr. Shen, are you aware of the consequences of leaking trade secrets?"

Shen Yunzhong's expression changed: "What does President Zhao mean by this?"

“What I mean is…” Zhao Nan stood up, looking down at them, “I’ll pretend I didn’t see this document.”

Shen Yunzhong's expression suddenly changed.

"Zhao Nan. What do you mean by this? You know perfectly well that we're here to discuss cooperation."

Zhao Nan smiled.

"What a pity. Someone else approached us about collaboration even earlier than you."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the office door behind the main entrance. Suddenly, the door opened, and a tall figure walked in.

Qin Shi walked into the office with his hands in his pockets, taking his time.

The moment he walked in, Liu Jinnian and Shen Yunzhong's expressions turned extremely ugly.
