Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Yan Lan put down the documents in her hand, looked up, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes. "Zhao Nan is very likely a corporate spy." Her voice was filled with anger. Qin Shi was picking up a cup of coffee when he heard this, and he almost spat it out. Her expression instantly turned serious. He looked up sharply, his sharp gaze fixed on Yan Lan. "Zhao Nan? Didn't he already resign? Are you mistaken?" Yan Lan frowned slightly, her eyes firm. "Before seeing these documents, I also thought he had just resigned normally. But now it seems that during his time at Qin's, he was likely trying to steal Qin's trade secrets." She handed the documents to Qin Shi. "This is a proposal that Blackstone Capital recently gave us. I'm certain that the gas tank project on it was all Zhao Nan's doing. Blackstone Capital is indeed up to no good, wanting to acquire Qin's. I need to inform my mother." Her voice carried an undeniable firmness. Yan Lan stood up. She knew that if she told Shen Yunzhong this news, he would never believe her. Only Mrs. Qin could understand the seriousness of the matter. Qin Shi took the document, raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at it quickly, then looked up, his gaze complex. "You can be sure this is Zhao Nan's plan just by looking at it?" Zhao Nan had been his secretary, and Yan Lan had only worked with him for a few days. "I can't be wrong." Yan Lan's expression grew even more serious. She took a deep breath. "I've long suspected Blackstone Capital has ill intentions." "You seem to have a very bad impression of Blackstone Capital." Qin Shi asked tentatively, his eyes probing. Yan Lan was just an ordinary nurse; logically, she shouldn't have had any contact with an international capital firm like Blackstone. Yan Lan was slightly taken aback. She realized that she had almost let something slip in her haste. She quickly covered it up, "I've only seen some news about Blackstone Capital before. I heard it's a ruthless company that often stirs up trouble in the stock market, forcibly buying and selling off many companies, causing significant fluctuations in stock prices." She secretly rejoiced that she had managed to cover up her lie in time. In fact, Yan Lan's conflict with Blackstone Capital was far more complicated than this; Blackstone Capital had even invested in X Institute's competitor. "I'd only heard about it in the news," Qin Shi nodded, then continued, "Even if you tell Mother there's a problem with this proposal, she might not stop the cooperation with Blackstone Capital. As for Zhao Nan, you don't have direct evidence to prove he wrote it. Qin's isn't like those near-bankrupt companies Blackstone Capital invested in before; Shen Yunzhong certainly won't easily agree to terminate the cooperation." Qin Shi's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Yan Lan's impulsiveness. She lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her eyes revealing helplessness. She realized she had indeed been somewhat rash. Blackstone Capital hadn't yet taken any substantial action detrimental to Qin's. "You're right, I was too impulsive," Yan Lan sighed, her voice filled with helplessness. Recently, Madam Qin had been very distressed because of Old Master Qin's situation, and her health had been affected; she really didn't want to cause Madam Qin any more worry at this time. "I'll take these project proposals back and study them first." Qin Shi casually picked up the documents and turned to leave. As soon as he reached the office door, he stuffed all the documents into the shredder, instantly turning them to dust. He stood at the office door, his eyes slightly narrowed. Then, he took out his phone and sent a message to Zhao Nan: "Zhao Nan, your identity has been discovered. Don't handle any project proposals related to the Qin Group recently. Also, continue acquiring Qin Group shares." Zhao Nan quickly responded. A message popped up on her phone screen. Zhao Nan: Boss, the chairman discovered my identity? Qin Shi: "Not Shen Yunzhong, it's Yan Lan." Zhao Nan: Boss's wife? Boss, you didn't accidentally let it slip, did you? Qin Shi: "Even if you let it slip, I wouldn't. She saw right through your proposal." Qin Shi: "Hand over the proposal to someone else for now. How's the acquisition of Qin's shares going?" Zhao Nan: "Boss, everything was going smoothly. We've already acquired over a dozen shares of Qin's stock anonymously. But just yesterday, we discovered that Hurricane Capital is also acquiring Qin's shares." Qin Shi's face instantly darkened, his fingers gripping his phone tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white. A strange glint flashed in his eyes when he saw the words "Hurricane Capital." "Hurricane? It's them again? It seems fate is cruel; they've got their eyes on Qin's too?" Qin Shi muttered to himself, his voice filled with barely concealed annoyance. He narrowed his eyes, as if deep in thought. Indeed, Qin Shi was the behind-the-scenes boss of Blackstone Capital. This identity was known to almost no one except his close friend Cheng Fei and a few close associates abroad. Zhao Nan, as Qin Shi's right-hand man, was one of the few who knew the inside story. Zhao Nan's entry into the Qin Group as a secretary was entirely authorized by Qin Shi. For years, Qin Shi had played the role of a spoiled brat within the Qin Group, seemingly idle and irresponsible, appearing indifferent to the family business. However, this was all a carefully crafted facade. Zhao Nan, starting from the lowest level, worked his way up through the ranks, relying on his abilities and Qin Shi's covert support, eventually becoming the general manager's secretary. He possessed an intimate knowledge of the core functions of almost every department within the Qin Group, even more so than many senior managers. Qin Shi's plan was meticulously planned. He used Zhao Nan's position within the Qin Group to quietly gather crucial company information. Zhao Nan's existence was like a pawn in Qin Shi's game, ostensibly an employee of the Qin Group, but in reality, an "undercover agent" for Blackstone Capital. Qin Shi's plan should have been flawless; however, Yan Lan's appearance complicated the situation. Her keen insight and unique understanding of Blackstone Capital caused cracks to appear in Qin Shi's plan. The involvement of Hurricane Capital has made the entire situation even more unpredictable. "Hurricane Capital, Qin's..." Qin Shi murmured these names, a cold smile playing on his lips. "It seems this game has only just begun." Zhao Nan: Boss, should we continue the acquisition or hold off? Qin Shi: Continue the acquisition. Hurricane wants to take Qin's from me? I'm not afraid. I want to see who wins this time.
