Chapter 267: Chapter 267 Goodnight, Baby (1)

Qin Zhenyi called again, an expected move for both Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi; however, this time Qin Jiran chose not to answer and instead had Jiang Xiaobin brush him off with a reply that they would notify him, but with no promises.

The ambiguous response left Qin Zhenyi unable to ascertain Qin Jiran’s thoughts, but the very uncertainty also made him hesitant to make any rash decisions, especially regarding the afternoon press conference—Qin Zhenyi felt very indecisive.

To attend or not to attend? If he chose to attend, there would naturally be benefits, such as the opportunity to further clear his name of being unfilial, since the conference would also publicly announce the location and time of the Old Master’s funeral. Although he and his brothers hadn’t been directly involved in organizing the Old Master’s funeral, they had spent a significant amount of money to ensure it was a grand affair, which could be seen as evidence of their filial piety.

But if he did decide to attend, he also feared provoking backlash from the Su family. If anything unexpected happened or if he said something inappropriate, he would find himself in trouble. Even though the Qin family was powerful, they were clearly at a disadvantage in the media, with very few outlets under their control or influence and without any real impact. This was no match for giants like Dragon Media, which was also the reason he had initially approached Qin Jiran wanting to collaborate!

Yet if he refused, he was also fearful of a backlash from his eldest brother and the third brother. Although he considered the two of them to be unworthy individuals incomparable to him, together their shares amounted exactly to fifty percent, a fact that he could not afford to ignore. If they did join forces against him, it would be very difficult for him to recover!

Qin Zhenyi was not a fool; he could guess at some of Su Yanyi’s motives behind her actions. It seemed as if she wanted to cooperate with him and extend an olive branch, but at the same time, isn’t she trying to isolate him, turning him into a target for the other two? Even though he was well aware of this, he was still unable to resist the temptation because cooperating with the Su’s would give him enough leverage to snatch the chairman position from Qin Zhenren’s hands!

Therefore, Qin Zhenyi was indeed in a dilemma, a state of indecision that lasted all the way until the press conference began.

The press conference called by the Qin family was under the pretense of arranging the Old Master’s funeral. The three brothers of the Qin family, along with several members of the younger generation, were all present, aiming to dispel the unfilial image of the Qin family. The younger relatives, no matter how unwilling, did not dare to be absent.

The turnout of reporters at the event was substantial, including representatives from Dragon Media and Tiansheng Media. Once everyone had arrived, the press conference officially commenced.

The spokesperson for the Qin family was Qin Zhenren, the eldest son and the current chairman of the Qin Corporation; he was naturally the best choice for the role.

"Thank you all for attending today’s press conference. The main purpose of the Qin family holding this conference is to clarify some of the unfounded rumors about our family. The passing of our father is a huge blow to the Qin family and a great source of sorrow for us, his children. The grief in our hearts is beyond words..."

Qin Zhenren stood on the stage and spoke for over twenty minutes, starting with a strategy of self-effacement and then recounting memories with Elder Qin. The admiration and respect for his father were evident in his words, compelling the audience to commend the author of the speech for their excellent and moving writing. They wondered how long it took Qin Zhenren to memorize this eloquent and vivid speech.

After Qin Zhenren’s remarks, Qin Zhenyi and Qin Zhenli also took the stage. After much deliberation, Qin Zhenyi’s performance was equally impressive. He did not exhibit overt sadness like Qin Zhenren nor reminisce about stories with his father but simply announced the preparations for the funeral and extended an invitation to all sectors of society. He concluded with a deep bow—an understated but dignified approach that managed to convey his sorrow, seemingly giving the impression of his heartfelt sadness.
