Chapter 25#

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

In the huge office occupying more than one hundred square meters, Cang Ming sat in the main seat, looking through a contract.

The east wall of the office was entirely composed of floor-to-ceiling windows, with layers of clouds floating outside. On such a man-made peak, the shadows of surrounding buildings could no longer be seen, only the sun during the day and the moon at night could compete with it.

Qin Qing looked at the clouds outside in a trance, which were slowly and disorderly changing shapes.

Xu Yizhi held a copy of the contract and was also looking through it.

Qin Zishi walked into the office carrying a teapot, and elegantly and slowly poured tea for Cang Ming and Xu Yizhi. When it was Qin Qing’s turn, he filled the teacup with boiling hot tea.

Full wine shows respect, full tea bullies people. This sneaky little trick made Qin Qing come back to his senses and smile.

996 squatted on the coffee table, muttering proudly: “After this plot passes, Qin Zishi will become a favorite around Cang Ming, and his status in the company will rise, jumping three levels in a row. Without your assistance, he can also win the favor of the son of destiny with his own strength. Don’t think too highly of yourself, you are a dispensable supporting male character, you are nothing!”

Qin Qing still looked at the layers of clouds outside, treating the provocation in his ears as fun.

Cang Ming and Xu Yizhi read very fast. It took them only ten minutes to finish reading the thick contract.

They handed the documents to Qin Qing at the same time, one with a very magnetic voice, the other with a cold and thick voice: “You take a look.”

Qin Qing extended both hands and took the two documents.

Qin Zishi immediately asked: “President Cang, President Xu, is there any problem with the contract?”

Cang Ming didn’t speak, while Xu Yizhi smiled and said: “No hurry, let Qin Qing take a look first.”

Qin Zishi nodded and said okay, smiling very gently, but actually his teeth were almost crushed. Why should the contract he negotiated be shown to Qin Qing? What opinion can Qin Qing express?

996, who was originally squatting on the coffee table and tentatively poking the teacup with its paw, suddenly looked at Qin Qing nervously.

Qin Qing, who was reading the document seriously, took a moment to glance at it and asked: “What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the contract?”

“Qin Zishi succeeded in rising to power based on this contract, do you think there will be problems with it?” 996 curled its lips disdainfully, but felt very uneasy in its heart.

Qin Qing is too uncontrollable, could he really find a problem?

No, no, he is not a professional at all, what can he see? Thinking like this, 996 immediately regained its composure. But it didn’t know that its airplane ears and wandering eyes had aroused Qin Qing’s vigilance.

996 licked its chubby paw, then licked its chubby belly, pretending to be relaxed and leisurely.

Only it knew that this contract not only had problems, but the problems were also very serious. There was a deeply hidden malicious clause that almost trapped Lanyu into bankruptcy.

The script recorded that Qin Zishi sent the contract to the legal department for review, but at that time Xu Yizhi was sent by the company to Europe to handle a commercial dispute, and the reviewer became Pang Yong’an.

Pang Yong’an had great ambition but little talent, and didn’t find the loopholes in the contract at all. Qin Zishi asked him if he had passed the document to Xu Yizhi for review, and he said he did, but actually he didn’t. He wanted to monopolize this credit.

Qin Zishi took the contract abroad to sign. Out of cautious character, he inspected the local area for half a month, and then called off the project at the last second before signing the contract.

At that time, the senior management of Lanyu thought his behavior was unreasonable and even issued him a dismissal letter.

But a month later, another Chinese company that snatched this big cake from Lanyu fell into it severely and finally declared bankruptcy.

Seeing such tragic consequences, the company’s senior management felt ashamed, and Cang Ming personally went to the Qin family to invite Qin Zishi back. He was the first person to be treated so politely by Cang Ming. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a special honor.

Qin Zishi, who returned to the company again, jumped three levels in a row and entered the core of power of Lanyu.

This plot can be said to be the watershed of the relationship between the son of destiny and the destined person. After this, Cang Ming truly put Qin Zishi in his heart.

The script was written like this, but now, Xu Yizhi, who shouldn’t have appeared in the plot, appeared here. With his sharp eyes, would he find the loopholes in the contract first, thereby ruining this plot?

The more 996 thought about it, the more anxious it became, glancing at Xu Yizhi with its green eyes again and again.

Qin Qing pursed his lips and smiled, knowing in his heart, his slender fingertips touching the paper, reading word by word.

The sunlight shone on his side face, casting two fan-like shadows from his long eyelashes, but his high nose and beautiful lips were plated with a golden edge, like a beautiful and quiet oil painting with appropriate shades.

Xu Yizhi slowly leaned back on the chair, propped his forehead, and looked at this painting lazily and intently.

Cang Ming picked up the cup of tea that Qin Zishi filled to the brim for Qin Qing.

Qin Zishi’s heart tightened, just about to remind “be careful it’s hot”, but saw Cang Ming pour the tea into the trash can with a backhand, then picked up the teapot himself, poured half a cup of hot tea, and gently pushed it in front of Qin Qing.

Qin Zishi was stunned, then his cheeks flushed red, sitting on pins and needles. It turned out that those small movements he did secretly had already been seen by Cang Ming. What would he think of himself? Narrow-minded, ridiculous, unpresentable?

Qin Zishi moved his pale lips twice, only feeling a sour bitterness on the tip of his tongue.

996 licked its belly after licking its paws, and started licking its butt after licking its belly, looking leisurely, but actually its scalp was numb.

Having been together for so long, it knew too well how uncontrollable a creature Qin Qing was. His skill in making trouble is simply first-class! Now with an unfathomable Xu Yizhi, it’s chaos upon chaos.

“Finished reading? The two bosses are waiting for you!” 996 hummed with pretended relaxation.

“Finished reading.” Qin Qing raised his head and handed the document to Xu Yizhi.

“Is there a problem?” Xu Yizhi asked lazily.

“What do you think?” Qin Qing leaned over, staring at the other’s romantic and affectionate eyes, seeming to want to spy on the answer.

Xu Yizhi smiled: “Now I am testing you, not you testing me. Don’t think about cheating.”

So Qin Qing also smiled, nodded and said: “There is indeed a problem.”

Qin Zishi, who was about to lift the teapot, froze.

996, who was licking its belly with its fat legs crossed: “Meow ow?!”

Cang Ming seemed to have expected it, knocked on the table with his knuckles, and said in a deep voice: “Where is the problem?”

Qin Qing placed the two documents in front of Cang Ming and Xu Yizhi respectively, turned to the page with the problem, pointed to one of the clauses and said: “Every clause in the contract is drafted very reasonably, and this inconspicuous remark is the only trap.”

996 ran quickly to Xu Yizhi, looked over, and then gasped.

Damn it! The loophole in the contract was really found by Qin Qing, this rookie! He wasn’t talking nonsense just now!

Qin Zishi put down the teapot, pulled the contract placed under Xu Yizhi’s eyes, and asked unwillingly: “Where is the trap? Why didn’t I find it?”

“This one,” Qin Qing tapped with his finger: “If a dispute arises between Party A and Party B, arbitration shall only be conducted in the location of the mineral property, and only the laws of the location of the mineral property shall apply.”

“Is there any problem with this? Many contracts are drafted like this.” Qin Zishi raised his gloomy eyes.

“The small European country where the Solomon Group is located is currently in political chaos, and local law enforcement officers are corrupt and cover the sky with one hand. They can completely cheat our tens of billions of investment funds, and then find a regulation to stop the project, thereby achieving the purpose of embezzling this investment fund. At that time, we have no way to use legal weapons to defend our interests, and can only be ruthlessly harvested.”

Qin Qing looked at Cang Ming and said seriously: “This remark is very unfavorable to us, I think we should be cautious.”

Before Cang Ming could reply, Qin Zishi said eagerly: “I am very good friends with the president of the Solomon Group, and I believe in his character. This investment is very beneficial to the local economic development. Local officials have invited me to banquets several times and repeatedly assured me that they would fully support the development of the project.”

Qin Zishi emphasized word by word: “They are very sincere. From my professional perspective, there is no problem with this investment!”

Qin Qing shook his head: “Fraudsters are very sincere to their prey before achieving their goals. Your professional perspective may not be accurate.”

“Then what about your perspective? You don’t even have a profession!” Qin Zishi sneered and mocked.

“Remember, this is the company’s money, not your money. You have to be responsible for the company. Even if there is a trace of doubt in the contract, it must be treated with caution.” Qin Qing retorted calmly.

“Trying hard to facilitate this investment is truly being responsible for the company. Do you know how much profit the company will get after the success?” Qin Zishi did not retreat half a step.

“High profits come with high risks.” Qin Qing continued to refute.

Qin Zishi gradually lost his composure and sneered: “I found that you have no pioneering spirit at all, and constant pioneering is exactly the corporate culture of Lanyu. You are not suitable to stay in Lanyu.”

“Then are you suitable? Personal emotions have dominated your reason, and you can no longer analyze and think rationally. If the investment fails, how do you explain to the company?” Qin Qing provoked.

“The investment will not fail, I guarantee with my career.” Qin Zishi said through gritted teeth word by word.

996 covered its big face with its chubby paws and groaned secretly. Damn it, why is the destined person, who is so smart and wise in the script, so embarrassed in front of Qin Qing?

Guaranteeing with a career, this can’t be said casually!

However, Qin Zishi didn’t realize at all that he was led into a pit by Qin Qing, turned to look at Cang Ming, and said extremely firmly: “President Cang, I fought hard for this contract! Although the initial investment is indeed huge, the profit will be extremely considerable after the project is completed. President Cang, please believe my judgment! I can personally guarantee it! If the investment fails, I will resign from the company immediately!”

996 was stunned! How did the conversation force the destined person into a corner? The plot is messed up again damn it!

Cang Ming picked up the contract and read it slowly, silent for a long time.

Xu Yizhi leaned lazily against the back of the chair, his expression unpredictable.

Qin Qing leaned towards him, his expectant gaze quietly slanting over, as if asking silently: Did I pass the test?

So Xu Yizhi laughed low, then nodded slowly, his eyes full of joy and appreciation.

Cang Ming had already noticed the flirting between the two, and his already cold face added a few more degrees of frost.

996 was spinning around anxiously, and finally, disregarding the fear in its heart, jumped in front of Cang Ming, waving its small chubby paws to protest.

“Quickly give the project to Qin Zishi to investigate! No matter what Qin Zishi says or does, you must support him unconditionally! You and he are a match made in heaven! Then scold Qin Qing a few words. What is he! What ability does he have to see the loopholes in the contract! He is talking nonsense and disturbing the morale of the army! Scold him fiercely, scold him until his head stinks, scold him until he cries, scold him to death!”

Scold him to death?

Cang Ming frowned, showing displeasure, then raised his hand and threw the contract on the table.

Seemingly lightly placed, it was like a Five Finger Mountain descending, actually flattening the blustering and clamoring 996 into a flat cat cake.

996 didn’t even have time to scream before being completely silenced.

Qin Qing suppressed his surprise, pretending to watch this scene calmly, and the previous conversation couldn’t help but ring in his ears.

“If you can really catch it, please flatten it for me, okay?”

“Okay.”

So, Cang Ming really flattened 996. That wasn’t a joke? The act of putting down the document was normal, but the result caused was too coincidental. Is Cang Ming a mortal or not…

Qin Qing lowered his eyelashes, calming the suspicion and fluctuation in his heart.

Qin Zishi looked straight at Cang Ming with expectation. He knew that with this placement of the contract, Cang Ming had made a decision. With such huge profits, if Lanyu doesn’t take it, there are plenty of manufacturers at home and abroad who want to intercept. Cang Ming won’t disagree.

However, Cang Ming’s reaction exceeded Qin Zishi’s expectations.

He tapped that remark with his fingertip, his tone cold and oppressive: “Guarantee with your career? May I ask, how much is your career worth?”

Qin Zishi was stunned on the spot.

This sentence… what exactly does it mean?

996 wriggled its body like a reptile to move out from under the document, and then flowed like liquid under the coffee table, finding a gap to hide in. Boohoo, Cang Ming is really too scary!
