Chapter 339: 339 Turnaround Scene! [1 Update]

Qin Zhi must inherit Qin Corporation.

Otherwise, there is no reason for Qin Corporation to exist.

"Swinging someone’s support?" Qin Zhi couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

She did know what "swinging someone’s support" meant; it’s a dialect from the Northern Shen Zhou, which commonly refers to asking friends to back you up during a conflict.

However, in the years she had strived to escape the control of Patriarch Qin and Madam Qin, she had always been striving in other cities. In short, she indeed had no one she could truly call a "friend."

"We’re almost there," Ye Wanlan said. "Miss Qin, I recognize your character and strength. With you in place, Qin Corporation can continue to operate in Jiangcheng."

"Cousin Qin Zhi, what are you doing? Calling for people on the phone?" The young man opened with mockery. "Have you forgotten that not even Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin are willing to support you?"

The call was nearly at its end. Qin Zhi set the phone back on the table. "Isn’t it time for a meeting? Let’s finish the meeting first before we discuss further. Also, Qin Bieshu, the department you manage has been operating at a loss every quarter. Do you think you have the right to speak?"

No right to speak—hell, not even the mouth to do so.

The young man was furious, "Qin Zhi!"

"Alright, let’s start the meeting first, the most important thing is to get through the current difficulty," an old shareholder tapped the table and spoke in an indifferent tone. "We must immediately sever ties with Qin Yu to prevent him from affecting the entire Qin’s."

This point was unanimously agreed upon.

Patriarch Qin remained quiet, his expression growing even more haggard.

"Not only do we need to expel Qin Yu from the Qin Family, Uncle Qin also needs to step down from the chairman position now," the young man said with a sardonic smile. "After all, to not instruct is the father’s fault. If we apologize sincerely enough, then the public will accept it. What do you think, Cousin Qin Zhi?"

Qin Zhi raised her eyes, "Father has grown old, it is time for him to step down."

Patriarch Qin finally burst out angrily, "Qin Zhi, what nonsense are you spouting?!"

"It seems just like the rumors say, Cousin Qin Zhi doesn’t have a good relationship with Uncle Qin." The young man laughed even more joyously, "Then the position of chairman is not for you, Cousin Qin Zhi, who made you Qin Yu’s own sister?"

The shareholders weren’t planning to choose Qin Zhi as the next chairman either and started discussing among themselves.

"Knock knock knock."

The door was knocked at this moment.

The old shareholder said, "Come in."

The door opened, and the people who came in took all the high-level executives of Qin Corporation by surprise.

Only two people, but they represented two major powers in Jiangcheng.

President Sheng Huaiqian from the Sheng Family and Director Fang Qinghan from the Fang Family.

"What a lively scene?" Sheng Huaiqian picked an empty seat to sit down. "Are you starting to elect the next chairman? Then I’d like to cast one vote for Miss Qin Zhi."

Fang Qinghan smiled with suave grace. "I also believe, it would be a fine and the only choice for Miss Qin Zhi to take the lead in Qin Corporation."

"!!!"

The whole place was in an uproar.

Some shareholders were too shocked to speak, looking at the two in disbelief.

The young man was both shocked and angry. "What are you doing interfering with the Qin Family’s business?!"

Originally, the Zhou Family was eyeing the Qin Family covetously, wanting to take the chance to directly absorb the Qin Family. Were the Fang and Sheng Families trying to kick them while they were down and back them into a corner by joining in at this critical moment?

The arrival of Fang Qinghan and Sheng Huaiqian was beyond Qin Zhi’s expectation but indeed within reason.

After all, she had already confirmed that both the Fang and Sheng Families were also partners of Ye Wanlan.

And these two indeed had the power to sway the election today.

"Of course, you could choose someone else," Fang Qinghan said with a slight smile. "But we only cooperate with Miss Qin Zhi. If someone else takes the chairman position, we’ll just go and cooperate with the Zhou Family."

Sheng Huaiqian also smiled. "I’m sure the Zhou Family would be quite pleased."

"President Sheng, Director Fang, it’s all a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding!" a middle-aged shareholder spoke up. "How could we possibly not choose Miss Qin Zhi? She’s the most suitable candidate."

"Yes, I fully support Miss Qin Zhi becoming the chairman and leading Qin Corporation to greater heights."

The shareholders one after another quickly changed their tune.

The young man and a few others who had been eager for the chairman position also kept quiet, glaring resentfully at Qin Zhi.

Qin Zhi was indeed fortunate to have secured the support of the Fang and Sheng Families.

Patriarch Qin, however, let out a sigh of relief.

Although he did not quite agree with Qin Zhi—a woman—taking the chairman position, anyway, she was his offspring.

If Qin Corporation really fell into the hands of other families’ scions, they would be kicked out of the company in a few years, not to mention a decade or so.

Perhaps this was the best outcome.

Qin Zhi’s ascension as the leader of Qin Corporation spread throughout Jiangcheng overnight.

When the news reached the Zhou Family, they too found it incredible.

"The Fang Family and the Sheng Family, I don’t know what madness possesses them to support Qin Zhi as the chairman of Qin Corporation." Patriarch Zhou slammed the table violently. "Can’t they see the situation? It would be the best choice to cooperate with us and swallow up the Qin Family."

Support a woman’s rise to power for no reason?

Are they insane?

Madam Zhou pressed her temples, "At least with Qin Yu imprisoned, we have avenged Heyuan. If Heyuan could wake up..."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hechen’s body suddenly tensed.

Wake up?

Zhou Heyuan must never wake up.

His eyelashes dropped, hiding the shadows lurking in his pupils.

Zhou Heyuan had been lying in bed for almost three years now, and there was no need to lay there any longer.

He must swiftly eliminate his only worry to prevent any future complications.

**

At 7:30 in the morning, the sky over South City was already bright.

The program team’s boat left the dock and continued the filming at sea.

At the same time, on an island in the Nanling Sea.

A well-trained team of about a hundred people could be found on the island, dressed in black uniforms and equipped with sophisticated firearms.

"Have all the people from the ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ program team boarded the ship?" The young man asked coldly through the walkie-talkie, "Please report, where has the ship reached?"

"Reporting, sir, the ship has reached the sea area fifty kilometers from South City. In a little while, they will leave Shen Zhou’s territorial waters."

"Good, be ready at any point," the young man said. "Once they leave Shen Zhou’s territorial waters, execute the plan."

The Nanling Sea is the largest ocean in the world, hence it’s rife with many myths—Sirens, underwater behemoths, and so on.

But the most famous legend is the lost ancient continent of Atlantis.

The legend says that Atlantis was a civilization at its zenith, but one day it was engulfed by the sea, and the civilization was destroyed all at once, with the entire continent sinking into the sea floor.

Although it’s just a legend, some are persistent in searching for traces of Atlantis.

At the beginning of the year, an archaeological team from Global Center found some evidence on the Nanling Sea Floor that might prove Atlantis’s existence. The specific research is still ongoing.

Thus, the waters of the Nanling Sea are mixed, often frequented by pirates.

"Sir, but on that ship, there is not only the Young Temple Master from Penglai Observatory but also the eldest son from the Rong Family," one person hesitated to speak up. "I’m afraid it won’t be easy to take action today."

Even though the Six Great Sects of Shen Zhou have fallen and their legacies are barely preserved, he was still concerned.

"Those two will naturally be dealt with by other professionals," the young man rolled up his sleeves, speaking with deep meaning. "Besides, if something happens in the entire sea area, can they, just the two of them, save everyone?"

At this time in Shen Zhou, there are many fishermen out at sea, and the ocean is crowded with fishing boats, with at least tens of thousands of people.

The young man picked up his binoculars and squinted, "Today’s mission must be successful; failure is not an option."

The ship was still racing forward.

Ye Wanlan was playing chess with Rong Qi.

Meanwhile, Taoist Xing Yue tied her hair with two buns on top of her head and sang while pacing, "Such a sunny day, everywhere we gaze is a beautiful sight—"

Everyone listening to the off-key singing, "..."

The director painedly told the assistant director, "It seems that even the heavens are fair. Although Taoist Xing Yue has strong abilities and is a perfect hexagon-shaped warrior, she’s tone-deaf when it comes to singing."

The assistant director wholeheartedly agreed.

"Hold on—" Taoist Xing Yue suddenly looked up as if she noticed something. "Rong Qi."

Rong Qi placed the last chess piece and also furrowed his brow, "There is something strange at sea; I’ll go with you to check it out."

In recent months, there had been an increase in natural disasters and accidents.

"Okay." Taoist Xing Yue grabbed his wrist, jumping directly overboard.

The director was shocked and rushed to the side of the boat, only to see Taoist Xing Yue walking on the water as if it was solid ground, without falling in.

Rong Qi, who did not know the Taoist Arts, could only be led by Taoist Xing Yue.

But endowed with the Great Purity Pulse inheritance, he could guide her in the right direction.

Taoist Xing Yue asked, "Can you predict what is going to happen?"

"No." Rong Qi frowned. "The forces lurking in the dark must have people with abilities like ours who are blocking my sight."

Although he was touted as a once in a century genius of the Rong Family, he was, after all, too young.

If Old Master Rong were here, there might not be many people who could stop him.

"Not good!" Taoist Xing Yue’s face changed slightly. "It’s a diversion!"

Just as she spoke, a "boom" was heard, and at the location of the program team, a massive wave suddenly erupted from the bottom of the ship, shooting straight into the sky.

The giant ship was shattered in an instant!
