Chapter 223: 216: Join forces to change the fate of Huaqi (One more update)

Chen Qiuchan witnessed the entire process of Qin Qi being taken away by the police; he instructed the security to guard the door, allowing no unrelated personnel to enter. After the police car left, the reporters who were surrounded outside the door couldn’t get into Huaqi Technology and gradually dispersed.

Wen Changling entered.

Chen Qiuchan made a signal to his secretary, who understood and went ahead to press the elevator button.

“Director Chen,” Wen Changling approached, “do you believe what I said now?”

“Was it you who orchestrated this?”

“I don’t have that much ability, I can only dabble a bit in divination at most. I just did a calculation, and it seems Qin Qi won’t have the chance to be released.”

Wen Changling earnestly and sincerely suggested, “I hope you can reconsider my previous proposal.”

About a week earlier, Chen Qiuchan had gone to Jingan Champs for a meeting.

The waiter led him to the number one private room: “Please, this way.”

Upon entering, he was taken aback.

“Why is it you?”

“Hello Director Chen.” Wen Changling stood up, politely offering her business card with both hands as she reintroduced herself, “I am Tipcoo Group’s Chief Technology Officer, Ling.”

The purple business card she handed over indicated her position; Tipcoo Group used colors to differentiate rankings on business cards, with gold being the highest level, followed by purple.

The person who had arranged to meet with Chen Qiuchan today was Tipcoo Group’s rotating Chairman, Meng Heshan. Chen Qiuchan was aware of Ling; she was Tipcoo Group’s youngest-ever Chief Technology Officer and the favored protégé of Meng Heshan.

How could it be Wen Changling?

Chen Qiuchan stood bewildered, unable to make sense of the situation for a moment.

“Please take a seat, Director Chen.”

Chen Qiuchan sat down, eyes vigilant, confronting Wen Changling: “What are you trying to achieve by infiltrating Huaqi?”

Wen Changling got straight to the point: “I don’t think Qin Qi is suitable to succeed your position.”

“We had signed an agreement during the financing, ensuring same-share unequal rights; Tipcoo Group does not have the right to intervene in Huaqi’s management issues.”

Tipcoo Group is the largest shareholder of Huaqi Technology, but Huaqi operates under a partnership system where partners enjoy the right to nominate board members.

Wen Changling’s pace of speech was calm and measured: “There is also another clause in the agreement; if the shareholder voting power exceeds 90%, it can modify the partnership system.”

To obtain over 90% of shareholder voting power would mean that Tipcoo Group and Yatiao Venture Capital had to be in the same camp.

Chen Qiuchan felt Wen Changling’s idea was a pipe dream: “You can also represent Yatiao Venture Capital?”

She glanced at her watch: “He should be arriving soon.”

He? Who?

Chen Qiuchan had a very bad premonition.

Wen Changling poured a cup of tea for Chen Qiuchan: “I’m not very knowledgeable about tea, but I heard you like the tea at Jingan Champs. I’m not sure if what I ordered suits your taste.”

After one cup of tea, the person she was waiting for arrived.

He Dongzhou.

— Qin Ke’s adopted son.

Chen Qiuchan recognized him, and the reverent person following behind him—he recognized too; it was the Chairman of Yatiao Venture Capital, Zhang Yanzhong.

Chen Qiuchan suddenly realized that the real boss of Yatiao Venture Capital wasn’t Zhang Yanzhong.

To ensure the management rights of Huaqi Technology remained within the hands of the partners, the four permanent partners held more than ten percent of the shares combined. Chen Qiuchan now suspected that there might be He Dongzhou’s people among the permanent partners.

“What exactly are you two trying to do—one, the adopted son of the Qin Family, and the other, the Qin Family’s illegitimate daughter?” an emotional Chen Qiuchan challenged, “Attempting to abolish Huaqi’s partnership system?”

He Dongzhou seemed to be there for entertainment, tasting the tea snacks on the table.

Wen Changling spoke in a soft and gentle voice, without any forcefulness: “If the partnership system is abolished, you and your team should all take responsibility and resign. If the entire management steps down, Huaqi would become nothing but useless loose sand. Neither Tipcoo Group nor Yatiao Venture Capital intends to seize control. However, regarding the choice of the successor, I hope you will give it careful thought.” She spoke with the softest tone, making an irrefutable argument, “Qin Qi isn’t suitable; he lacks character.”

“Then who is suitable?”

Wen Changling recommended Shi Lihong.

Chen Qiuchan immediately dismissed the suggestion: “She’s not suitable.”

Suddenly, the onlooking He Dongzhou spoke up: “Why not? Because of her gender?” He didn’t have Wen Changling’s patience and was very direct, wiping the pastry crumbs off his hands while wearing a smile, “Director Chen, I don’t think you’re quite up to the mark either.” After finishing, he turned his head to Wen Changling, “What does Sister Wen think?”

Sister Wen nodded in agreement.

Chen Qiuchan’s face turned green with suppressed anger.

He Dongzhou had a principle in business: be polite if possible, but if not, let’s leave both sides worse off—he wasn’t afraid of the losses.

The board meeting was delayed due to Qin Qi’s arrest.

Before interrogation, the police conducted a physical examination on Qin Qi.

Lin Yaoping placed two photographs on the table: “Which one of these pictures is you?”

The two photos, to the naked eye, looked identical; one was of Qin Qi, the other was Qin Ke, but Qin Qi’s photo had been digitally altered to add a mole.

Qin Qi refused to answer: “I don’t need to respond to such leading questions.”

Lin Yaoping retrieved the photos and replaced them with two others: “Then this one must be you, right?”

Qin Qi glanced at it and admitted: “Yes.”

“This is from the surveillance footage at West Mountain Capital on the night of the 20th last month. In it, you left the community in your car at 8:39 p.m.,” Lin Yaoping asked, “Where did you go that evening?”

Qin Qi cooperated with the criminal investigation, replying: “I went night fishing. I don’t often go night fishing, so I remember the date.”

“Where did you go for night fishing? Do you have anyone to corroborate?”

“Shili Depot, with a colleague.”

“Which colleague?”

“Yan Gaoxiang.”
