Mrs. Qin started to advise, "Son, if it really doesn''t work, then let''s not chase after it. Although your company isn''t as big as his now, who can guarantee what the future holds?"


    Qin Hao nodded, "Mm, I understand, Mom. I can handle this matter."


    Mrs. Qin didn''t say anything else and returned to her room.


    Qin Hao looked at his silent father, knowing he was blaming himself.


    He spoke up, "Dad, I will work hard. I''ll go with you to Grandma''s house at the end of the year. By then, no one will look down on us."


    Mr. Qin''s face broke into a smile, "Mm, good. I, Qin Youguo, have a great son."


    "Dad, don''t think too much. Go to sleep early."


    ...


    October 5th


    In the morning, after breakfast, Mrs. Qin said to him, "Xiao Hao, if you''re free today, take Xiao Ying for a stroll around Jiangshan."


    Qin Hao nodded, "Mm, got it Mom."


    He had plans to go out anyway.


    He and Li Moying went downstairs, and Qin Hao said to her, "I''ll stop by the office first, then I''ll take you around Jiangshan."


    "Mm-hmm," Li Moying nodded.


    Qin Hao drove to the office; most people were off, so there weren''t many there today.


    Kang Youyi was at the company, and Qin Hao went straight to him.


    "Hao, what brought you here? Aren''t you resting?" Kang Youyi was somewhat surprised.


    Qin Hao asked, "Youyi, are you familiar with the distilleries? Do you know how many distilleries we have in Jiangshan?"


    Kang Youyi replied, "Distilleries? Dayuan Group''s distillery is the biggest; I''m not sure about the others. Hao, why are you asking about this?"


    Qin Hao said, "Have someone investigate; I plan to acquire a distillery."


    Kang Youyi looked stunned, "Acquire a distillery? Hao, you''re not planning to compete with Dayuan Group, are you?"


    Qin Hao responded, "Does Dayuan Group really think I, Qin Hao, am a pushover? I want them to know the consequences of offending me."


    "Hao, we still have to acquire a few more duck farms, and the roasted duck shops need to expand. We don''t have that much capital," Kang Youyi said softly.


    Qin Hao reassured, "Don''t worry about the funds, I have it. If the company needs more, you can also let me know."


    Kang Youyi replied, "Hao, the funds we have should be enough. Growing step by step, we can also keep up with the management; taking too big a step could lead to trouble."


    ...


    After leaving the company, Qin Hao took Li Moying out to have fun.


    Joy Valley and two other historical sites.


    In Kun City, the capital of Shuinan Province.


    Du Wanrou had accompanied her father to several business banquets these past few days. She didn''t want to go originally, but Du Hongfeng insisted on bringing her along.


    Since Du Hongfeng only had this one daughter, the company would definitely be left to her in the future, and he wanted to cultivate her properly.


    That morning, Du Hongfeng was working in the office at the headquarters in Kun City.


    His email received a message from a stranger.


    He opened it and immediately froze.


    There were several photos of a man and a woman standing close together, looking at the ground.


    He felt the man looked somewhat familiar.


    Upon closer inspection, he frowned: Qin Hao?


    Below the pictures was a line of text: Mr. Du, your daughter is already with Qin Hao, but Qin Hao as a person is not all that great. Yesterday, he took a beautiful woman to Ying County and they were very intimate.


    My daughter is with Qin Hao?


    His pupils contracted at this sentence.


    Then he got up and left the office, driving straight back to his home in Kun City.


    In the living room, Feng Yun and Du Wanrou were sitting together chatting.


    Seeing Du Hongfeng return with a gloomy face, the mother and daughter curiously looked at him.


    "What''s wrong?" Feng Yun asked.


    Without a word, Du Hongfeng looked at Du Wanrou and asked, "Are you together with that Qin Hao?"


    Du Wanrou was taken aback. How did her father know?


    Could it have been her aunt?


    But she had told her aunt not to tell her parents yet.


    Seeing his daughter''s reaction, Du Hongfeng had already gotten his answer, and his expression was very embarrassed: "You know very well what kind of person he is. Why are you still with him?"


    Enjoy new tales from empire


    Knowing it wasn''t the time to be silent, Du Wanrou spoke, "Dad, you might have misunderstood him. He is actually quite decent. My aunt has met him too, and she is now working at his branch office in Jianghai City."


    "How could Xiangyi be working at his company?" Feng Yun said in surprise.


    Turning to speak, Du Hongfeng said, "You know his background. Just a few days ago, in broad daylight, he broke both legs of the son of the Dayuan Group''s chairman Ma Bing. He''s arrogant from young success; such a person will not end well in the future. Do you think you''ll have a future with him?"
