Chapter 60 - II
Based on the available information, Xie Dai finally chose Qin Yizhi. After all, the Qin family had always attached great importance to tradition. Could it be that Qin Lingyun was chosen by the old man Qin to test Qin Yizhi?
So, these superficial illusions could not be believed.
Xie Dai planned to join Qin Yizhi’s team, but he also needed to have a stepping stone. Xie Dai remembered the construction business he had negotiated in a certain country. The Xie family could take it, but there would definitely be a gap in the capital chain, so he could give it to Qin Yizhi. In this way, the risk would be reduced and a lot of benefits could be obtained at the minimum cost – after all, a complete set of projects could cost hundreds of billions, and the profit could be at least 50 billion.
This was why Xie Dai was anxious to cooperate with those companies and came up with the idea of Xie Qi.
Of course, he knew those boys were not purely infatuated with Xie Qi. They just tasted the benefits of men, and remembered when Xie Qi was young, they all stunned by him. Because the profits from cooperation were huge, they also wanted to achieve cooperation with certain benefit.
However, Xie Dai’s thoughts were relatively small. After all, he didn’t want to plan too much before taking roots in City H.
But who would have thought before he could take a root, he would offend the Qin family first?
Xie Dai was very anxious. He tried his best to smile and said some polite words to the host. When he got down, he gave the trophy to the waiter and asked him to keep it first. He asked about the person who was bidding against him, and it was Qin Yizhi’s companion.
Xie Dai: “…”
His face couldn’t help but look uglier, but thinking about the business he had negotiated, he stabilized his mind. As long as this cooperation was completed, the rewards waiting for him would be dozens of times.
He walked over with his female companion and spoke to Qin Yizhi: “Mr. Qin.”
When he had just finished speaking, he noticed the boy following Qin Yizhi was quite good-looking. Xie Dai vaguely remembered that Qin Yizhi seemed to have married a man. At that time, he also had a vague intention of taking sides. Unfortunately, he was still having trouble with the Yun family and the Gao family because of the split, so he didn’t get the news.
But it wasn’t too late to know now. Xie Dai gathered his emotions and smiled at Qin Yizhi and said: “Mr. Qin, we had some disagreements just now. I’m really sorry, because I really liked those auction items, so I bid aggressively. I hope Mr. Qin can forgive me.”
Qin Yizhi said in a calm tone: “It doesn’t matter, those things were only worth 50 million at most, but Mr. Xie was willing to bid 250 million. It seems Mr. Xie is very enthusiastic about charity, so how could I object?”
It was okay if he didn’t mention it, but Xie Dai started to have trouble breathing when Qin Yizhi really said it. The female secretary held his arm tightly and whispered: “Mr. Xie.”
Xie Dai barely suppressed his dark emotions and said to Qin Yizhi: “Haha, I do often engage in charity. The Xie family’s charity foundation builds 13 primary schools every year and helps hundreds of poor children attend school. After all, there is a saying that with great ability comes great responsibility. I also hope that children in our country can grow up happily.”
As soon as he said these words, he vaguely felt that the people in front of him were looking at him a little colder. He suddenly felt unsure of what he had said wrong.
Before he could think about it, the male companion next to Qin Yizhi spoke, “Mr. Xie cares so much about the children of our country. Your children must be doing well, right? I really envy your children for having such an excellent father.”
Xie Dai couldn’t figure out his identity. Looking at Qin Yizhi’s newly married wife, he smiled and replied, “That’s for sure. Of course, I give my child the most generous and best life. Providing him with excellent learning conditions, so he could be a high-character person who contributes to society.”
Xie Qi asked curiously, “How many children does Mr. Xie have?”
With a flawless smile on his face, Xie Dai said, “I have a son. He is only seven and a half years old this year. He is still young, and his talent is a bit dull, which gives me a headache.”
Xie Qi’s golden eyes flashed slightly as he asked doubtfully, “But at Mr. Xie’s age, you don’t look like you have only a seven-year-old child.”
Xie Dai’s eyes fell on Xie Qi’s face, and he vaguely felt something was amiss, probably due to Xie Qi’s relatively rare golden eyes. He harbored some doubts but continued, “Well, there is a son from a former marriage, but he is too immature. I divorced his mother and haven’t seen him since, but I miss him very much now. Despite his lack of maturity, he is very talented. If I had more patience, I could have educated him to become a talented individual.”
Xie Qi muttered in his heart, ‘You still try to be generous in front of others, right? I got into a top-tier university without your guidance, alright?’
Xie Qi forced a laugh and asked, “What is your son’s name?”
Xie Dai paused, feeling a bit puzzled, “Why do you ask?”
Xie Qi replied calmly, “I’m just curious. I’ve had a similar experience and can relate.”
Xie Dai began to sense something was wrong. He hesitated and said, “…his name is Xie Qi.”
“Oh, what a coincidence. My name is also Xie Qi,” Xie Qi feigned surprise. “Are you from City H? My biological father is from City B. I grew up there but later moved to City A.”
He hugged Qin Yizhi’s arm sweetly, continuing, “I just met my husband in City A.”
Xie Dai’s perfect facade finally showed cracks. He opened his mouth in disbelief, “Are you Xie Qi??? Is your mother Jiang Sining?”
Pretending surprise, Xie Qi asked, “You know my mother?”
Xie Dai: “…”
At that moment, he finally realized that this person knew exactly who he was from the beginning, and Qin Yizhi’s targeting of him now seemed to make sense.
His expression paled, and through gritted teeth, he asked, “Isn’t your husband’s name Qin Xishou? How can he be Mr. Qin?”
Xie Qi: “???”
Not knowing how to respond, Xie Qi glanced at Qin Yizhi.
Qin Yizhi’s expression remained impassive as he replied coolly, “That was my former name. What’s wrong? Can’t a person change their name?”
Xie Dai: “…”
Xie Qi: “…”
‘He has a nicer name now, Qin Xishou (犀守 – Xīshǒu, Rhino Guard), sounded like a summoned beast.’
