The demon master was beaten up

Chapter 215 Stay in the Capital

Soon, they arrived at the Qin family's antique gate. Entering the courtyard and passing through winding corridors, they finally arrived at the study deep within the house. The study was elegantly and solemnly decorated, its shelves filled with a variety of precious ancient books and classics.

After the four of them walked into the study one after another, the butler immediately came up to them, respectfully poured steaming hot tea for each of them, and then quietly left the room.

After the butler left, Qin Nuo finally couldn't suppress his inner doubts and asked Grandpa Qin, "Grandpa! Why did you suddenly appear at that dinner party?" He stared at Grandpa Qin, expecting to get a satisfactory answer from him.

At this moment, Zhang Jingxu, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly stepped forward quickly, took over the conversation, and said in a loud voice: "I specially sent someone to invite you, Grandpa Gan!" As he spoke, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.

After hearing this, Qin Nuo turned around and looked at Zhang Jingxu with a bewildered look on his face. His eyes were full of confusion and he asked, "Brother, didn't you tell me before that I should keep a low profile? But now that you've done this, I'm afraid the entire business community in Beijing will know about you!"

Zhang Jingxu did not respond to Qin Nuo's question immediately. Instead, he respectfully picked up the teapot and filled a cup of fragrant tea for Mr. Qin, who was sitting at the head of the table. Then he offered it with both hands and said softly, "Grandpa Gan, please have some tea!"

After Mr. Qin took the teacup with a smile, Zhang Jingxu slowly turned around and explained to Qin Nuo, "Arnold, how can my business layout be limited to the small Yufeng Mountain? This time I decided to stay in Beijing to develop. In this case, instead of hiding my identity, I might as well show my identity openly. After all, those who like to play tricks behind the scenes, if they want to do something to us secretly, they have to consider whether they have the strength to compete with the Zhang family!" At this point, a confident and determined light flashed in Zhang Jingxu's eyes.

"What? You actually plan to stay in Beijing? What about the Yufeng Mountain project? Are you just going to leave it like this?" Qin Nuo widened his eyes in astonishment, looking at Zhang Jingxu in front of him in disbelief, his voice unconsciously rising octaves.

Zhang Jingxu smiled slightly, reached out and gently patted Qin Nuo's shoulder, and said in a firm tone: "Don't worry, Arnold. The Yufeng Mountain project will be handed over to you and Xu Chen. I believe that with your abilities, you two will definitely be able to handle it properly. As for me, I will stay in Beijing to pave the way for us and establish some connections in advance to lay a solid foundation for our future development. Just wait and see, after everything is arranged, I will be waiting for you in Beijing!"

At this moment, Old Master Qin, who had been sitting silently by the side, suddenly spoke to Qin Nuo and said, "Xiao Nuo, go to Shenghai now and visit your father. Jing Xu and I have some important matters to discuss."

Qin Nuo nodded quickly and replied, "Okay, grandpa, don't worry, I'll be there as soon as possible." After that, he turned around and left the room with Mike beside him, closing the door gently.

Qin Nuo turned his head abruptly, staring straight at Mike, and asked, "Mike, did you know that Brother Xu planned to stay in Beijing?"

Hearing this, Mike's face showed a hint of hesitation. He frowned slightly, as if pondering how to answer the question. After a long moment, he took a deep breath, lowered his voice and slowly said, "To be honest, Mr. Qin, Mr. Zhang's original plan was to stay in Beijing to develop. However... he's been concerned about you and Xu Chen's situation, and worried that you two wouldn't be able to handle the various complexities. That's why he decided to stay in Yufeng Mountain temporarily to provide you with some help and support. Honestly, Mr. Qin, if we want to truly expand and strengthen our business, we must focus on a metropolis like Beijing! Look at those industry giants; which one of them didn't achieve their current success after gaining a foothold in Beijing? And with your ability and potential, sooner or later you'll take over the entire Shenghai Group. Staying stuck in such a small place is a waste of precious time!"

After hearing what Mike said, Qin Nuo blinked a few times, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he responded slowly: "Well, you have a point. But for now, Shenghai is still managed by my grandfather and my father. As for what will happen in the future, there is no need to rush to make detailed plans now. Let's take it one step at a time. Maybe there will be new changes and opportunities in the future."

In the Qin family's study, adorned with an antique charm and a faint scent of ink, Old Master Qin sat upright on a carved pearwood chair, gently cradling a cup of steaming tea. He tilted his head slightly, casually glancing at Zhang Jingxu standing nearby. Then, with a nonchalant tone, he said, "I never imagined that upon arriving in the capital, your first target would be the Zhou family! The Zhou family is now declining and dilapidated, and it's hardly worth the effort you've put into rectifying it."

Hearing what Old Man Qin said, Zhang Jingxu's face instantly turned gloomy, and his originally bright eyes became dim, but there was a hint of coldness flashing in them.

He gritted his teeth and responded in a cold, hateful voice, "Grandpa Gan, you've always remembered the Zhou family's support for our family. However, to me, the Zhou family will always be the ones who indulged their daughter's reckless and tyrannical behavior! I will make them pay back a hundredfold and a thousandfold for the pain and harm Arnold has suffered!"

After saying this, Zhang Jingxu slowly straightened his body, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his joints slightly white from the excessive force. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the surging emotions in his heart, and continued in a slightly pleading tone, "Grandpa Gan, please promise me this. Don't tell Arnold about this. Let him know nothing about it. As for the Zhou family, no matter what, I will do everything I can to completely eliminate them from this city!"

Old Master Qin's deep, commanding voice slowly rang out, "The reason we haven't wanted to take action against the Zhou family isn't because we don't hate them. Quite the contrary, our hatred burns like a raging fire. However, we're worried that Xiao Nuo will think we're being too ruthless and leaving them no room for maneuver! But now, since you're determined to do this, go for it! Don't hesitate!"
