Chapter 51: Does The Qin Family Have An Imperial Throne To Inherit?

“Hilarious — a poor student actually managed to cough up a million bucks to buy this trash? Take it that I misjudged you then.”

Qin Jiang sneered, “What a fucking idiot.”

Who did this manager think he was? Who cared about his judgment?

Song Jie disdainfully told the manager to get lost. On the way over Qin Jiang had him call the hospital, and now the ambulance was already waiting downstairs.

Although he didn’t know how his Brother Jiang was like a prophet who already knew Little Sun’s grandfather was ill, but he knew that sticking with Brother Jiang meant you’d surely enjoy luxuries

He didn’t need to use his brain.

Just do whatever Brother Jiang told him to.

“Kid, what’s your name?”

The manager, thinking he’d lost such a big deal because of this brat’s interference, snarled and pointed threateningly at Qin Jiang’s head.

“From Huajing University, Li Hao.”

“That’s my real name and I’m not afraid to tell you.”

“If you’ve got complaints, bring them to me! I’ll be ready anytime.”

Both Sun Zhaoyu and Song Jie were speechless.

Bro, you really know how to pass the blame.

The manager cursed and left. He wouldn’t give up the deal easily — the person who owned the paintings had merely turned from a lonely elderly grandpa into a penniless university student with no background or strength, anyway.

That made it even easier to handle.

“Fine, just you wait.”

…

Inside the hospital.

Grandpa Sun was sent into the ICU. Sun Weilong sold all the paintings in his possession to Qin Jiang except for two he kept for sentimental reasons.

Qin Jiang contacted Mo Da and Mo Er to have people bring the paintings back to Liangyue Manor to organize them.

They all needed to be mounted, and professional art appraisers would sort them by stylistic school and timeline.

In the hospital corridor.

“President, I accept your terms.”

Sun Zhaoyu thought Qin Jiang was lying at first, but to his surprise, everything turned out to be true.

His grandpa received the best medical care as soon as he arrived at the hospital.

And after Qin Jiang asked for his card number in the car, he transferred $1 million to him right away.

Including the $20,000 in cash earlier, Qin Jiang gave him $1,020,000 in total — was he worth that price?

“The extra $20,000 is my sincerity toward you.”

“I formally invite you to be among the first partners of my new company ‘JY Tech’.”

Qin Jiang was currently a sophomore, and the department’s internship assignments had already been issued.

But thanks to the Qin family’s connections, he couldn’t find work anywhere in the capital city within the industry.

Nor could he get the proof of internship that he needed to graduate.

He knew this was the Qin family’s warning to him, but who said he could only get that proof by working for someone else?

He could be his own boss and approve his own internship just the same.

Working as an employee? Impossible — never in this life!!

Was it better to be a freeloader? Or to become your own boss?

“President…? You started a company?”

“Alright, I’m willing to follow you into entrepreneurship.”

In his previous life, Sun Zhaoyu had chosen to follow Qin Jiang, actually.

But Qin Jiang saw his strong ability and hoped he could help his eldest sister’s company, Qin Financial, so he strongly recommended him to work under Qin Moyun.

“Mm.” Qin Jiang was very satisfied.

He had already spent $30 million to secure a floor in a downtown office building as the new company’s base.

After finishing, Qin Jiang prepared to leave.

Just as he reached the end of the corridor, a familiar figure suddenly stepped out, nearly
colliding with him.

Qin Jiang quickly stepped back to avoid her. Her familiar presence instantly made him feel
unlucky.

Qin Moyun’s headache had eased a bit. After another busy night of work, she happened to come to the hospital for a check-up.

She was somewhat surprised the instant she saw Qin Jiang.

The woman wore a British-style long coat, simple yet elegant, paired with a linen silk blouse and a high-waisted pencil skirt that accented her waist, adding an elegant yet sharp air to her image.

Qin Moyun paused, believing that Qin Jiang had indeed been worried about her health and had followed her to the hospital.

But then she saw Qin Jiang turn to leave.

Perhaps Qin Jiang was afraid she’d catch him looking worried about her?

So she called out to Qin Jiang first. “Qin Jiang, did you come specifically to bring me that essential oil? My head has hurt for days and you only bring it now… are you trying to make me die from the pain?”

Qin Jiang froze and a string of question marks flashed through his head.

Was Qin Moyun out of her mind?

“Qin Moyun, you’re like a stinky loach that gets a bit of seawater and thinks that it’s now high grade seafood.”

“If there are no mirrors at home, there must at least be urine, right? Take a piss and look at your own reflection!”

“If not, I’ll have Song Jie piss right here!”

Song Jie clutched his pants in horror.

Qin Jiang’s crude words made the usually noble and aloof Qin Moyun’s face darken. She immediately turned on big sister mode and scolded, “Qin Jiang, you’re utterly vulgar, not even the slightest bit as cultured or well-mannered as Yun.”

“After four years in the Qin family you still haven’t been refined by upper-class life — are you going to spend your life in the gutter as a disgusting rat?”

“You’re so disgusting, you truly don’t deserve to be my brother.”

Qin Moyun spoke in disgust. If it weren’t for her recent headaches forcing her to swallow her pride and seek Qin Jiang, she wouldn’t have endured such mental torment.

Now Qin Jiang was intentionally provoking her.

With the pride of a big sister at stake, she felt even more embarrassed to bring up the soothing essential oil.

“What a coincidence — I really disdain being your brother.”

“A good dog doesn’t stand in the way of others, but you’re like a mangy stray dog.”

Qin Moyun went nearly crazy. With her severe headache, she couldn’t help but press her forehead, her face turning greenish.

The more he behaved like this, the more she couldn’t let Qin Jiang just walk away.

“Stop. I know you’ve always been unhappy that I favor Yun, but it’s true you’re inferior to Yun in many ways — being the big sister doesn’t mean I have to constantly scold you.”

“Tell you what… as long as you leave the soothing essential oil with me and admit your mistake in person, I’ll take you back to the Qin family.”

“You kowtow to Mom and Dad and I’ll personally plead for you — then you’ll only need to kneel in the ancestral hall for two days and you’d be allowed to return home.“

“Qin Jiang, Eldest Sister can only help you this much.”

“I’m sure you must be in urgent need of an internship opportunity right now. As long as you agree, you’ll still be the young master of the Qin family and no one would dare refuse you a job.”

Qin Moyun thought she’d raised the stakes.

Her expression naturally turned proud, as if this outcome could only be secured by Qin Jiang desperately apologizing.

“Tsk… what a joke.”

“Does your Qin family have an imperial throne for me to inherit? Do I have to kneel and beg to get back? The last imperial dynasty fell long ago — dreaming of that is pointless.”

“Besides, didn’t you always think the calming essential oil I gave was useless — wasn’t it Qin Yun who made you feel better? Wasn’t he the one who eased your headache?”

“If your head hurts, then go to your good little brother Qin Yun to keep soothing you~”

“None of my damn business.”

After saying that, Qin Jiang swaggered off without looking back.

Seeing him leave, Qin Moyun rushed up to grab his arm and barked, “Qin Jiang, did I permit you to leave?”

“I’m your big sister, so you must obey me.”

“Never mind the essential oil now — did you hack in and delete the company’s confidential files? Hand over the backups immediately, or don’t blame me for taking you to court!”

Over the past few days, Qin Moyun not only had recurring headaches, she had been frantically hiring hackers to fix Qin Financial’s internal systems.

But none of it worked.

Combined with Qin Jiang’s prior provocations toward the family, this had to be Qin Jiang’s revenge!

“Sue me if you want.”

“Do you have evidence?”

“Or did you again blindly believe Qin Yun’s slander? I remember that Qin Yun was the first person you told the password to Qin Financial’s database.”

“As for me… you never trusted me, where would I have gotten the password?”

Qin Jiang left mercilessly after dropping that loaded remark.

He’d been wronged by the Qin family too many times.

He was numb.

There was no more sadness or disappointment — he only felt speechless.

Did the Qin family really still think he’s the same soft pushover as before?

Qin Jiang and Song Jie left the hospital together.

They drove to the downtown office building.

The newly established company faced Yan Group’s office.

Qin Jiang deliberately paid an extra $5 million in rent to lease the top floor of the office building.

His office wasn’t as grand as Yan Liang’s, but it was the spot in the space closest to the Yan Group president’s office.

“Brother Jiang, we studied finance — why don’t you start a financial company? Why start some tech company instead?”

“I know you have some small R&D inventions, but that’s not the same level as starting a research company. Brother Jiang, be honest — do you really understand technology?”

Qin Jiang raised an eyebrow. “I know a little.”

He still needed to keep learning, but he’d already carved a path forward.

Since he had been reborn from the future, he was determined to seize the major trends of the era.

Song Jie felt uneasy. Why did it feel like Brother Jiang was just squandering Ms. Liang’s big investment in this company?

Then again, Yan Liang had given Qin Jiang money just for fun anyway.

She would rather lock up Qin Jiang in her room and have fun with him every day instead.

She wouldn’t care whether what Qin Jiang does with her money becomes big or profitable, right?

“In the future, AI technology will be the global trend. Right now, influencer-driven sales are the economic trend — we’ll develop some apps and things like that too, but I’ll first organize an R&D team to prioritize AI development.”

In the future, he wanted to be at the forefront of the industry.
