The School Beauty's Super Rogue-Chapter 242 - 240: The Marketplace Is Like a Battlefield

The meeting room was in chaos, Qin Hao and Fang Zhenwu turned and left without even a glance back.

At this moment, the Qin Family was basically on the brink of collapse.

For a large enterprise like Qin Group, the daily operation requires massive cash flow to maintain. Once a single link has a problem, the break in the funding chain would result in a domino effect of devastating collapse.

Qin Wentian invested all the family money into it, only to end up with nothing but a bubble.

And all of this, every step, was meticulously planned by Qin Hao.

The projects Qin Hao collaborated on with the Qin Family were originally in real estate.

Qin Hao disguised himself as Mr. Ye and used Xiao Lingtian’s reputation as a guarantee, so of course, the Qin Family had no doubt about the land under Mr. Ye’s name.

Subsequently, with Mr. Ye’s strong rise in Qingshan City, he exhibited extraordinary strength time and time again.

This made the Qin Family even more convinced of Mr. Ye’s capabilities.

In order to quickly latch onto Mr. Ye, Qin Wentian didn’t scrutinize many details and hastily signed the contract.

Now, Qin Hao unilaterally breached the contract, proceeding with legal action. In such large, complex business contract disputes, whether it’s investigation, evidence collection, or trial, the legal process is very lengthy, and by the time a judgment is delivered, even if the Qin Family wins, enough time would have passed for Qin Group to file for bankruptcy several times over.

That very day, Qin Wentian was rushed to the hospital with a heart attack, and he has remained unconscious since.

Qin Wuya still had injuries on his leg, leaving him with no energy to handle the series of issues brought by Qin Hao’s unilateral termination of the contract.

As for Qin Zhiwen and Qin Yuan, these two younger members who could have stepped up to help the Qin Family at such a difficult time were lying straight in the hospital, still not fully recovered.

The entire Qin Family was in chaos, resembling a toppled mansion.

At this point, Fang Zhenwu certainly wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to hit a man when he’s down.

The fall of the cooperation between the Qin Family and Mr. Ye was first known to the top management of the Qin Group.

Taking advantage of the instability within the Qin Family, Fang Zhenwu offered attractive salaries and almost irresistible conditions to these core executives, beginning his plan to poach them.

Although Qin Group is a family-run business, having reached this scale, the executives are all highly paid business elites hired by the Qin Family.

It’s these people’s management that allows the Qin Group to operate smoothly.

And Fang Zhenwu’s poaching strategy is akin to pulling the rug out from under; it’s designed to cut off the Qin Family’s lifeblood!

To these executives, on one hand is Qingshan City’s richest Fang Group, thriving and wealthy, with everything going well.

On the other hand is the Qin Family, with big business projects failing, funds tied up, and the entire funding chain about to break.

The choice doesn’t require much deliberation or mental effort.

Everyone is working for money; who they work for doesn’t really matter. Earning money safely at crucial moments is key.

Consequently, in the first week of Fang Zhenwu’s poaching plan, 60% of Qin Group’s core management had already resigned. Another 20% had already discussed their resignations, and it was only a matter of time before they left.

Excluding those still on standby, less than 15% of the management remained; even if they worked day and night, they couldn’t accomplish the basic operational tasks, let alone deal with the mess left by Mr. Ye’s sudden departure.

The Qin Family faced a storm.

After the poaching, Fang Zhenwu took advantage of the fall in Qin Group’s stock price, decisively acquiring all stocks dumped by retail investors and stray capitals.

The saying that the business world is like a battlefield is not false in the slightest.

The tense atmosphere in Qingshan City lasted a week, making all Qin Family members extremely anxious during this ruthless business merger.

Meanwhile, Qin Hao, acting like a layabout, lived a carefree, leisurely life, quite content.

Although the Qin Group was going through turbulent times with Fang Zhenwu’s relentless attacks, this business storm didn’t affect ordinary people’s lives at all.

The same holds: for ordinary people, working is working regardless of the boss; it’s about earning small money safely.

Qingshan City First People’s Hospital, VIP ward.

At this moment, the previously spacious ward is now slightly crowded.

Four hospital beds lined up; Qin Wentian, in a patient’s gown, sat on the bed, staring silently out the window with a blank expression.

This time, Qin Hao’s actions caused Qin Wentian to have a severe cardiac event. Although he was rescued, he had a close brush with death.

So even though Qin Wentian is concerned about external matters, he doesn’t dare slack off concerning his health, obediently staying in the hospital, letting doctors and nurses observe and treat him daily, even though the Qin Family is in disarray.

Next to him, Qin Zhiwen and Qin Yuan had grown accustomed to life here and even liked it.

At least here, it was quiet and safe, plus they could flirt with the nurses daily; each of the nurses was talented, spoke nicely, and was good-looking, much better than life outside.

The outside world was too terrifying. Thinking of the cost of opposing Qin Hao made them shiver, realizing all four beds in the ward were occupied.

At this moment, Qin Zhiwen lay in bed, holding a phone and staring at some app. After a while, he said to Qin Wentian beside him, "Uncle Qin, our family’s stock is already limited; the management’s resignations make it almost impossible to maintain basic operations."

"Right now, though outsiders don’t know exactly what happened to our Qin Family, all sorts of rumors prevail, unanimously saying we’re about to go bankrupt."

Hearing this, Qin Wentian sighed helplessly, understanding the severity, which had already exceeded his control and threatened the Qin Family’s survival.

"The Qin Family still has one last ace, not to be used unless absolutely necessary. And now—we have no choice!" freewebnøvel_com

After a long silence, Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with determination; he seemed resigned to this course of action.

There was no choice but to ask for help from that great figure.

Mr. Ye.

It’s you who forced me!
