Qin Song knelt before Qin Donglai's tombstone to apologize, crying his eyes out with his voice thick with emotion, a performance truly capable of saddening anyone who heard it and moving any who saw it to tears.

Luo Sulan stood beside him, comforting him endlessly.

Meanwhile, Qin Qiu and Qin Mo stood quietly to the side, staring coldly at Qin Song.

Chen Yang nodded repeatedly in admiration. This guy's acting skills are pretty impressive, enough to outshine those popular influencers.

The commotion lasted for a full hour before finally ending.

On the way out of Anwu Cemetery, Qin Song hooked his arm intimately through Luo Sulan's and said with a smile, "Stepmom, yesterday I negotiated a business deal worth over ten million. I should be able to get the contract today."

"My goodness, such a big deal?" Luo Sulan was overjoyed. She then glanced at Chen Yang and said sarcastically, "You see, people with real talent will always shine, unlike some who just rely on dumb luck."

Chen Yang smiled without saying a word. This woman would stop at nothing to belittle him; arguing with her would be admitting defeat.

As for Qin Song, he's nothing but a buffoon.

Qin Qiu shot Qin Song a stunned look but remained silent.

Back at the company, Chen Yang sat at his desk watching a movie. Zhou Yufei had come to work, which suggested Zhou Songquan's injuries weren't too serious.

Around noon, just as everyone was preparing to go out for lunch, Qin Song arrived at the sales department. He waved his hand breezily and announced, "I just signed a thirteen-million-dollar deal! Come on, I'm treating you all to lunch!"

It was considered normal practice for a Vice President to treat the sales department to a meal and offer some words of encouragement after landing a big deal. However, everyone knew that Qin Song and Chen Yang didn't get along, which instantly gave the gesture a different flavor.

Was he deliberately showing off to mock Chen Yang for not being as good at sales as him?

Qin Song was indeed putting on a show for Chen Yang. He wanted to reclaim the face he had lost at Anwu Cemetery and prove to the entire sales department that he, the great young master of the Qin Family, was superior to the son-in-law Chen Yang in both management and sales.

However, to his astonishment, the people in the sales department barely reacted, and many were giving him strange looks.

Hmm?

Qin Song frowned subconsciously. In his mind, a ten-million-plus deal like his should have caused a sensation, something worthy of being recorded in the Qin Corporation's sales history.

And the looks on their faces...

What the hell? Why are they looking at me like I'm a complete idiot?

Qin Song, who had been full of pride and arrogance just moments before, felt his face darken instantly. No one responded to him, leaving him standing there at a loss.

What's going on?

Hou Qiang and the others didn't know what to say. They had already witnessed Chen Yang's twenty-million-dollar deal, so a thirteen-million-dollar deal failed to impress them. Besides, with one being the family's eldest son and the other the son-in-law, they felt it wasn't their place to comment.

The atmosphere grew increasingly awkward.

It wasn't until Zhou Yufei stepped forward that the tension broke. "Vice President, we can't accept invitations to meals during work hours," she said. "Besides, Chen Yang already single-handedly landed a twenty-million-dollar deal, so your contract isn't that remarkable to us."

What?!

Qin Song's expression froze, and he instinctively looked at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang simply spread his hands. "Just good luck."

Qin Song was speechless.

His face turned crimson at a visible rate. Only now did he understand their strange looks.

So, I really did make a fool of myself!

He had only himself to blame for rushing over without getting the full picture.

"Haha!" Qin Song masked his embarrassment with a laugh and said admiringly, "Our sales department truly is a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. You're all incredible!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhang Xiaowen rushed in. She scanned the room and finally addressed Chen Yang, "There's a problem with the Huarui Group contract!"

Everyone frowned. How could there be a problem with a contract that had already been signed and finalized?

"What's the problem?" Chen Yang asked, confused.

"It seems Huarui Group itself is having issues and can't deliver the goods on time," Zhang Xiaowen explained. "The Chairman wants you to go to Huarui Group and ask Zheng Xiaoman what's going on."

Hearing this, everyone's expression changed. If the equipment didn't arrive, it would be a huge disaster for the entire Qin Corporation.

"I had a bad feeling when we signed this contract," Qin Song gloated, kicking Chen Yang while he was down. "Who is Zheng Xiaoman anyway? Why would she offer such a massive concession for no reason? Now look, there's a problem, isn't there? Without the equipment, the entire pharmaceutical factory project will have to stop. Add in the interest on the loans, and the daily losses will be in the millions."

"The way you handle things is just too unreliable!"

Qin Song's lips curled into a sneer, his sharp words leaving no room for argument.

"As the company's Vice President, do you think it's appropriate for you to say such things in this situation?" Zhou Yufei stared at him coldly. "Besides, Secretary Zhang made it very clear that Huarui Group itself is the one with the problem! Instead of thinking of a solution, you're just standing here gloating. Are you really a member of the Qin Family?"

Although the others didn't speak, their gazes toward Qin Song were filled with contempt. What kind of person says something like that?

"I'd like to see how you solve this!" Rendered speechless by the rebuke, Qin Song spat out this last sentence before turning and leaving.

Zhou Yufei turned to Chen Yang. "What's your plan now?"

"What else can I do? I'll go to Huarui Group and ask Zheng Xiaoman what's happening," Chen Yang said with a shrug.

"I'll go with you!"

"No need," Chen Yang refused. "I can handle it myself."

Zhou Yufei looked hurt but didn't press the matter.

「Meanwhile.」

In the general manager's office of the Tianhe Pharmaceutical Group—a lavishly decorated space of over two hundred square meters—stood Wang Han. Dressed in a gray suit, he had one hand in his pocket and held a glass of red wine in the other, drinking alone before the massive floor-to-ceiling windows.

"Young Master, the company has halted all cooperation with Huarui Group," a middle-aged man holding a folder reported respectfully as he entered the office. "Furthermore, Mr. Huang, who supplies Huarui Group with their main components, has agreed to stop supplying them for the time being. As a result, Huarui Group will face a break in their capital chain and will be unable to deliver on time due to a lack of parts."

"A rough estimate suggests that Huarui Group's penalty for breach of contract could exceed one billion."

"Excellent!"

Wang Han turned around, a triumphant smile on his face. "Zheng Xiaoman, oh Zheng Xiaoman, this time I'll show you what I'm truly capable of! You like acting so high and mighty, don't you? Let's see you keep it up!"

"And that piece of trash Chen Yang... without my approval, your puny Qin Corporation will never get that equipment!"

Wang Han's lips twisted into a cruel smirk. "What gives any of you the right to fight me?"
