The Qiu's family house.
Qiu Mu-Cheng had already left a long while ago, but the house continued to remain silent.
The sight of Qiu Mu-Cheng's family driving away in a million-yuan luxury car had undoubtedly left Jiang Hong and company feeling unpleasant.
Meanwhile, Qiu Guang could not help feeling despondent.
All along, Qiu Guang had idolized Zhang Xiao-Song, his elder in the business world.
But today, a business elite like him had willingly submitted to Qiu Mu-Cheng and become her subordinate. Therefore, Qiu Guang could not help but wonder if his niece truly had such great charisma.
Also, if they had not kicked Qiu Mu-Cheng out of the family, would that not mean that Zhang Xiao-Song and his cohorts would become employees of Qiushui Logistics?
When his train of thought reached this point, Qiu Guang felt even more despondent.
He could not help feeling that Qiushui Logistics had just lost a huge opportunity.
"Father, did we do wrong when we chased Mu-Cheng away?” Qiu Guang looked at Master Qiu and, when he spoke, his heavy voice was filled with melancholy.
Just then, the old man was looking rather pale as he sat weakly in his chair. It seemed as if he had suddenly aged many years. On his heavily wrinkled face, one could see traces of an ambiguous emotion.
In the face of his son's question, Master Qui remained silent for a long while.
Just then, the mood within the Qiu's family house was exceptionally downcast.
After all, Qiu Lei and his household had always been regarded as the most useless members of their family. So none of the Qius had expected the impotent quartet to be the ones to cause the whole family to lose face.
That had been a particularly heavy slap to their faces.
However, Wang Qiao-Yu could not bear to know that Qiu Mu-Cheng and her family were doing well for themselves. So she continued to disparage them.
"Guang, how could you say this?"
"Qiu Mu-Cheng conspired with her trashy husband to undermine the ethics and moral standards of our family. Isn't that a crime worthy of expulsion from the family?"
"As for her job title, well, being the president of some real estate company may sound grand, but I bet that's just some small company. I have seen plenty of those. You can register a company with just a few thousand. But, at most, such companies can only survive for three months before shutting down. There is nothing to envy about them." "Also, you should not believe all that nonsense that Zhang Xiao-Song fellow was feeding us. He was just bragging to us."
"And if that so-called real estate company was really that great, then why would they cheapen themselves by finding an inexperienced and useless nobody without any connections to be their company president?"
"But Qiao-Yu, they did come with a millionyuan luxury car. If they were really running a shell company, then where did they get the fund to buy such an expensive car?"
"The most expensive car our company owns is just an Audi A6 that's only worth four or five hundred thousand, right?” one of the Qius questioned.
Wang Qiao-Yu snorted and said: "If they can't afford to buy one, then they can simply rent one. Am I right? I could tell at a glance that the car was a revamped rental from some second-hand car mart."
"Moreover, our Wen-Fei's family is in the real estate business. If this company was really that great, then Wen-Fei would have heard of it before, right?"
While she was talking, Wang Qiao-Yu turned to look at Chu Wen-Fei and asked: "Wen-Fei, have you heard of the real estate company they were talking about?"
And Chu Wen-Fei shook his head without hesitation.
"No. It is definitely some lousy company. Otherwise, I would have heard of them before."
After listening to Wang Qiao-Yu's explanations, the other Qius immediately felt better.
"Alright, let us stop caring about how well others are doing. We should take care of our own business first."
"Mu-Ying, over the next few years, whether Qiushui Logistics will do well or not will depend on your joint project with Hongqi
Group." "Do a good job. Our family had to work hard to obtain this opportunity to work with Hongqi Group. Now that you are in charge of the partnership, you must not let us down."
Qiu Guang exhorted in a heavy voice.
As he was saying all this, he did not feel the slightest bit of shame.
