Chapter 11#

World 1: The Tragic Supporting Male Lead Changes the Script Online#

Qin Qing returned to his office, took out a cigarette and lit it.

996 also stole a cigarette from his cigarette case. Without using a lighter, it just sniffed at the filter, and the cigarette tip inexplicably lit up.

“Meow, am I amazing?” It held up the cigarette proudly.

Qin Qing smiled, the faint smoke blurring his deep eyes.

Just then, Fang Hao pushed the door open and urged: “Qin Qing, President Qin asked you to organize all the materials and send them to my office. The POC project will be handed over to my team.”

Qin Qing looked at Fang Hao with an unfathomable expression.

This gaze was somewhat careless, yet unusually penetrating. The contempt on Fang Hao’s face faded a bit, and he left after saying “Hurry up”. He was Qin Zishi’s friend, so naturally, he had no good feelings for Qin Qing, who had suddenly appeared to interfere.

So what if he is Qin Huaichuan’s biological son? A person who hasn’t even attended university is useless!

The office door was slammed shut by Fang Hao from the outside, making a loud bang.

This behavior was both a provocation and a declaration of war. Although Qin Zishi didn’t work in Qin Corporation, he had cultivated many loyal followers. His foundation was already very solid.

Qin Qing smiled carelessly, and finally flicked the ash and asked: “What is the next plot point?”

“The next plot point is to resign sadly and leave Qin Corporation.” 996 looked down at the smart brain.

The script recorded that the original host didn’t have Qin Qing’s intelligence and capability, so the whole project was done very poorly. When doing the project report, he stood on the podium and couldn’t even say a complete sentence, causing Qin Huaichuan to lose face.

But President Li still signed with Qin Corporation. Under such circumstances, President Li saying “I signed this contract for the sake of Qin Zishi’s face” was actually completely reasonable.

However, after the original host was replaced by Qin Qing, President Li saying so again meant intentionally humiliating people.

996 asked cautiously: “Will you follow this plot point?” Qin Qing smiled terrifyingly just now, as if he was going to rebel.

“I will.” Qin Qing smoked the cigarette unhurriedly.

“Meow?” 996 widened its eyes, looking surprised. It thought Qin Qing wouldn’t follow this plot, after all, he had long regarded Qin Corporation as something in his pocket.

Although Qin Qing didn’t say it, 996 could feel that this flower demon had a strong sense of territory. It seemed that all spiritual plants had this nature; whoever stepped into their marked territory would die.

“I’ll follow this plot point right now.” Qin Qing put out the cigarette and picked up his phone.

While 996 was still dazed, Qin Qing had already dialed the number: “Hello, is this Zhao Youran? I’m preparing to resign. You and your team should also get ready to resign from the company.”

Zhao Youran wasn’t surprised at all, and gave a crisp and neat answer: “Okay.”

After two months of working together, his attitude towards Qin Qing had changed from half-believing at the beginning to blind obedience and submission now.

“You didn’t sign a non-compete agreement, right?” Qin Qing asked.

“No.”

“Very good. My promise to you will definitely be fulfilled, please believe me.”

“Little President Qin, if I don’t believe you, who else can I believe? We’ll do whatever you ask us to do.” Zhao Youran laughed relaxedly on the other end of the phone.

996 curled its lips in disdain: “You’re lying to ghosts! You promised to let Zhao Youran be the director and give him an annual salary of one million. But now, now even you yourself have resigned! Don’t be too pretentious, be careful of being struck by lightning.”

996 blew smoke rings while laughing wickedly, looking exactly like an evil villain.

Qin Qing smiled indifferently, then printed out the resignation letter and personally delivered it to the HR department.

The HR department immediately notified Qin Huaichuan.

Qin Huaichuan was silent for a moment, then said in a gloomy tone: “Let him go if he wants to, don’t mind him!”

Already in his twenties, yet still like a child, unable to stand even a little setback. It’s time to teach him a lesson!

Qin Huaichuan thought Qin Qing’s resignation wouldn’t cause a single ripple in the company. Qin Zishi’s followers were also secretly mocking the childishness and stupidity of this crown prince.

However, they were all wrong.

Qin Qing’s resignation brought not the silent disappearance of one person, but a bloodbath in the entire industry. Originally, everyone thought that after getting the POC contract, Qin Corporation would definitely reach a higher level.

But following Qin Qing’s resignation were Zhao Youran and the entire team.

Under Qin Qing’s lead, these people took the genius marketing plan they had spent months creating and joined Jinli Technology, and Jinli Technology’s product happened to be a competitor of POC.

Both companies produced new products with almost the same functions, and both were in the promotion and marketing stage.

Zhao Youran’s joining directly made Jinli Technology’s new product sell like hotcakes in the market. While POC’s marketing plan was very ordinary, consumers didn’t buy it at all, and eventually failed miserably.

President Li was exasperated and wanted to sue Qin Qing, but that marketing plan had long been copyrighted by Qin Qing. It belonged to the entire team, not the company.

In other words, even if Qin Qing left Qin Corporation, he could take this marketing plan away.

President Li ran to find Qin Huaichuan for a solution. Qin Huaichuan asked Fang Hao to write a better marketing plan immediately. However, Fang Hao was habitually plagiarizing, how could he have this ability.

In the end, POC lost its position as the industry leader, lost more than a billion in R&D costs, and lost most of its market share. Although Qin Corporation got hundreds of millions in marketing fees, it became the laughingstock of the entire industry. I’m afraid no high-quality customers will come to cooperate with them in the future.

The storm finally passed. Qin Huaichuan, with a tired face, got out of the car and walked slowly into the villa’s lawn.

Qin Qing stood on the second-floor balcony, talking to Zhao Youran on the phone while looking down at his so-called father.

“Are you doing well at Jinli?”

“I’m very well, everyone is very well. Thank you, Little President Qin.”

“You got this position of Marketing Director by your own ability, you can just thank yourself.” Qin Qing chuckled, his magnetic voice rippling in the spring breeze.

Zhao Youran’s ears turned red, and he considered his words: “No, if you hadn’t found a way out for us, we would still be sitting on the bench at Qin Corporation. Little President Qin, if you need help in the future, please remember to find me. You said you could be my background. Although I don’t have this ability yet, but—”

Zhao Youran paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone carried a trace of shyness and determination: “But I will work hard and strive to climb to a higher position. Whenever and wherever, as long as you need, I will return to your side.”

Many roses were blooming in the garden downstairs, red, pink, white, so passionate, so luxuriant. Several roses climbed up the balcony, swaying in the spring breeze.

Qin Qing looked at the brilliant spring colors in front of him and laughed low and happily: “Thank you, I will contact you if needed.”

Zhao Youran’s tense nerves relaxed instantly, and he also laughed happily.

When the phone hung up, two more cars drove into the garden downstairs. The one in front belonged to Qin Zishi, and the one chasing behind belonged to President Li.

President Li was wearing only a wrinkled white shirt and a pair of dirty casual pants, his hair messy and his face haggard. After jumping out of the car, he trotted towards Qin Zishi who also got out of the car, and punched him hard.

Qin Zishi was knocked to the ground, a stream of blood flowing from his nose.

Qin Huaichuan, who was about to walk into the house, immediately rushed up to stop President Li who was about to punch again.

Hearing the noise, Ji Lan ran out of the living room, shouting in panic.

Qin Qing lay on the railing, resting his chin on one hand and playing with his phone with the other, watching this scene with a smile.

“Qin Zishi, how much is your face worth?” President Li pushed Qin Huaichuan away and rushed towards Qin Zishi again, throwing punches one after another, “I was fired, do you know?! Don’t you have face? Give me back my job!”

Qin Zishi neglected exercise and could only dodge, unable to fight back.

President Li’s fists fell like raindrops, and he kept roaring: “Lanyu Technology no longer supplies POC! President Cang now chooses to cooperate with Jinli! Qin Zishi, where is your face? Where did your face go?”

President Li poked his finger on Qin Zishi’s face, his cheeks purple and his emotions frantic: “You said you would guarantee me to become the vice president within three years, is this how you guarantee me? Now even POC is about to go bankrupt! If it weren’t to help you, would I be here today? I even gave you so many benefits and kickbacks! Return my money! Damn fraud! I’ll beat you to death!”

Another heavy punch was thrown, and Qin Zishi’s right eye was beaten red and swollen.

Qin Huaichuan, who went up to stop the fight, also took several punches, his old bones almost falling apart.

Ji Lan was scared and cried and screamed, attracting servants and security guards in the community.

President Li, who was constantly cursing and struggling, was carried away by a group of people. Ji Lan hugged the bruised and swollen Qin Zishi, crying with heartache.

Qin Huaichuan untied his crooked tie, threw it on the ground casually, glanced at Qin Zishi with gloomy eyes, and then turned back to the house.

Qin Zishi patted Ji Lan’s back gently and comforted her with a few words. Just then, he saw Qin Qing standing on the second-floor balcony.

This person lay lazily on the railing, looking over with a smile and lowered eyes. Several vines of roses clustered around him, blooming fragrant flowers towards him. He gently cupped a pink-white rose blooming by his cheek, sniffed it, and then smiled happily.

Perhaps he was smiling for this great spring light, but Qin Zishi’s face turned purple-red at this moment.

Unprecedented shame and anger swallowed him like a fierce beast.

Those words he asked President Li to bring to Qin Qing now seemed like a joke. Qin Qing proved with practical actions that getting the POC project relied not on Qin Zishi’s face, but on his own ability.

The team he led was the best in the industry.

Qin Zishi thought he could easily suppress this person who didn’t even have a university diploma, but the reality was completely opposite. Qin Qing tore off his face alive and bloody.

Qin Zishi stood motionless on the spot looking at Qin Qing. He wanted to look away, but because of that unyielding stubbornness and deep unwillingness, he didn’t want to escape first. Slowly, his body stiffened into a stone.

996 squatted on the railing, feeling panicked and apprehensive.

Meow the kitty, Qin Qing looks so gentle on the surface, but inside he is actually a crazy critic! Look at how he tortured the male lead! Is this what a tragic supporting male lead does?

Just then, Qin Huaichuan climbed up to the second floor and walked to Qin Qing’s side.

He looked at the adopted son hugged by Ji Lan in the garden and said tiredly: “You won, but you also lost.”

Qin Qing didn’t respond.

Qin Huaichuan continued: “You proved your ability, so you won. But you harmed the company’s interests, so you also lost. You don’t have a big picture view, this is your most fatal shortcoming. If you don’t correct this shortcoming, I won’t hand the company over to you.”

Qin Qing was silent on the surface, but asked slowly in his heart: “996, what is the next plot point?”

All the flesh on 996’s body trembled, and then it looked down at the smart brain: “The next plot point is to apply for a job at Lanyu Technology.”

“Work at Lanyu?” Qin Qing raised his eyebrows, showing an interested expression.

“Yes. You will go, right?” 996 asked timidly.

The script recorded that after the original host was humiliated by President Li, his mentality collapsed, and he became determined to snatch Cang Ming. He thought that with Cang Ming, he could change this miserable situation. However, approaching Cang Ming was not a simple matter, so he begged Ji Lan to use her connections to get him an interview notice from Lanyu.

But now, Qin Qing’s mentality didn’t collapse at all.

Reality was completely opposite to what was written in the script. Qin Qing collapsed the male lead’s mentality!

Qin Zishi stood in the garden, stretching his neck and looking over like a fool, also like a defeated rooster. 996 covered its face with its chubby paws, simply couldn’t bear to look at the other party.

Qin Qing stroked a rose blooming under his eyes and said carelessly: “I’m sorry, I’m no longer interested in Qin Corporation. To enclose land, of course, enclose the largest and best land, don’t you think so, Dad?”

Qin Huaichuan was stunned: “What did you say?”

Qin Qing turned his head and smiled slightly: “I want to work at Lanyu Technology. Help me find a way.”

Qin Huaichuan’s eyes sharpened: “Are you going to Lanyu to deal with Zishi?”

“Deal with him? Isn’t the pattern too small? My ability should be better utilized in Lanyu, don’t you think so, Dad?” Qin Qing smiled lightly.

Qin Huaichuan’s expression changed back and forth, appearing very uncertain. After a long while, he smiled appreciatively and said simply: “Okay, I’ll help you find a way. Since you have this drive, I’ll let you venture.”

Qin Qing smiled without speaking.

996 looked at the script and muttered secretly in its heart: “Don’t get it wrong, Qin Qing is not going to Lanyu to build a career, but to seduce men!”
