Three Harvests of Wind and Cloud: The Family Feud and Conspiracy Behind Qin Shi's Rise to Power

The higher you're lifted up, the harder you'll fall. That's exactly the case with Wang Meng.

"I've been annoyed by this woman for a long time. She used to be so arrogant, and now, look at her, she's been taken away by the police!"

"I never expected that she would embezzle and take bribes. She's simply a disgrace to Sanhe Group."

"She even wanted to treat us to a meal. Who cares about that?"

The colleagues who had been flattering her before now all seemed to be avoiding a plague. Especially after she was taken away by the police, they started to curse at her non-stop.

The news that Qin Xi had been appointed as the general manager of Sanhe Group spread like wildfire throughout Jiangzhou.

Some time ago, a mysterious figure hosted a banquet at Starlight Garden Hotel for the major wealthy families in Jiangzhou. The first of the three things mentioned at that time was the cooperation between Yanchen Group and Sanhe Group.

At that time, at the banquet scene, many wealthy families took the initiative to propose cooperation with Sanhe Group. Now, the momentum of Sanhe Group even surpasses that of Yanchen Group.

As the former owner of Sanhe Group, the Qin family, of course, received this news at the first time, and the whole family was shocked.

Since Sanhe Group separated from the Qin family, the company's market value has already increased by more than ten times. Now that Qin Xi has taken the position of general manager, it's imaginable how unwilling the members of the Qin family are.

"That bitch Qin Xi actually managed to become the general manager. How is that possible?"

"Maybe she used her beauty to deceive others and thus climbed to the top."

"No wonder she was so arrogant when she came to Qin Group the other day."

In the Qin family manor, a large group of people gathered in the family conference room, waiting for the appearance of the old master of the Qin family, Qin Laoye.

Qin Fei had a white bandage around his neck, suspending his arm in a cast. At this moment, he remained silent, staring at his arm with red eyes.

At this time, the old master of the Qin family, supported by Fang Yue, came to the conference room, and everyone stood up to greet him.

After the old master of the Qin family sat down, he swept his gaze over the crowd and said, "Just now, Sanhe Group appointed Qin Xi as the general manager. You should all know about it, right?"

Everyone nodded. "Xiaofei, do you have anything to say?" The old master of the Qin family suddenly looked at Qin Fei, who was lowering his head and seemed to be deep in thought.

When Qin Fei looked up, the ferocity on his face had disappeared. He looked at the old master of the Qin family and said, "Grandpa, after Sanhe Group separated from the Qin family, all the people related to the Qin family were fired. However, Qin Xi managed to enter the company smoothly, and now she has become the general manager. There are only two possibilities."

"Go on!" The old master of the Qin family nodded.

"The first possibility is because of Qin Xi's ability; the second possibility is because of her beauty."

Qin Fei stared intently at the old master of the Qin family and analyzed seriously, "But I tend to believe the second possibility. As far as I know, after Qin Xi joined the company, she was always suppressed by the department head. It is said that just before today's appointment, the department head even slapped her. Why was she suddenly appointed as the general manager?"

"When she was still in the Qin family, President Luo of Yanchen Group once took the initiative to come to our Qin family to deliver a contract and said that he was moved by Qin Xi's sincerity. How could that be possible? Later, as soon as Grandpa entrusted the cooperation matters to me, the other party sued us for breach of contract. Who would add a clause about designating the person in charge in the contract for no reason?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the big shot behind Yanchen Group had already approached Qin Xi at that time, but she refused to agree to the other party's request. In a fit of anger, the other party directly sued us for breach of contract and forced us to transfer Sanhe Group."

"But a month ago, at the dinner party in Starlight Garden Hotel, the first piece of news was the cooperation between Yanchen Group and Sanhe Group. I think Grandpa should understand what I mean by now?"

The old master of the Qin family's eyes glinted with a sharp light. He had to admit that his grandson was smart, and the analysis he made could completely correspond to the facts.

"I see! After Qin Xi joined the company, the reason why she was suppressed was the intention of her superiors. Qin Xi couldn't stand the oppression, so she took the initiative to compromise with the person behind Yanchen Group. With the influence of that person behind Yanchen Group, it would be easy for him to make Qin Xi the general manager of Sanhe Group, right?" Fang Yue also looked as if she had just understood everything at this moment.

Where the thoughts are dirty, so are the actions. This is the true portrayal of the Qin family.

After hearing Qin Fei and Fang Yue's words, the others all chimed in agreement.

The old master of the Qin family knocked on the table, and the conference room fell silent. He said with a serious expression, "No matter what the reason is, Qin Xi has already taken the position of general manager. Since she is from the Qin family, she must contribute to our Qin family."

When a person has no sense of shame, even devils are afraid.

It was he himself who expelled Qin Xi's family from the clan. Now that he knew Qin Xi was useful to the clan, he admitted that she was a member of the Qin family again.

"Xiaofei, I'm giving you a task. Go to the Qin family compound now and talk to Qin Xi about the cooperation matters." The old master of the Qin family suddenly said.

Qin Fei was taken aback, then quickly said, "Grandpa, Qin Xi has a strong hostility towards me. She won't talk to me. Can you let someone else try?" The old master of the Qin family frowned and said, "Qin Xi is already the general manager of Sanhe Group, and her backer is the person behind Yanchen Group. The Qin family must find a way to gain Qin Xi's forgiveness. It was because of you that I expelled her family from the clan. Only you can ask for her forgiveness. Do you understand?"

Qin Fei had thought it was just a simple matter of talking to Qin Xi about cooperation. Only then did he realize that the old master of the Qin family was making him the scapegoat, putting all the blame for Qin Xi's expulsion from the clan on him.

He was filled with unwillingness. A few days ago, when Qin Xi went to Qin Group, he had obstructed her in every way, and even his arm was broken again by Yang Chen.

If he really went to beg Qin Xi, where would he put his face in the future?

With the way he had treated Qin Xi in the past, if Qin Xi returned to the clan, would there still be a place for him in the family?

"Grandpa, I can't do it!" Qin Fei gritted his teeth and said.

"Nonsense!"

The old master of the Qin family slapped the table and angrily said, "If you had treated Qin Xi better in the past, would we be in this situation now? You must complete this task!"

The old master of the Qin family left these harsh words and stormed out.

The members of the Qin family all looked at each other in dismay. The old master of the Qin family was going to let Qin Xi rise to power by stepping on Qin Fei. Once that woman returned to the clan, Qin Fei would be abandoned.

"Xiaofei, since the old master has specified that you must complete the task, there's nothing we can do to help. I'll be leaving now!"

"Xiaofei, the future of the family depends on you. Come on!"

"Xiaofei, you will definitely be able to persuade Qin Xi to return to the clan. I believe in you!"

All the relatives comforted Qin Fei symbolically and then left one after another.

In the large conference room, only he and his mother, Lin Xuelian, were left.

"Xiaofei, don't worry. If you can't bring yourself to go to that bitch, I'll sacrifice my old face and go beg her for you." Lin Xuelian saw that Qin Fei was in a bad mood and quickly said.

Qin Fei shook his head and suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly, "Mom, do you understand what Grandpa means? He wants to sacrifice me to win back Qin Xi's favor. Grandpa is so heartless."

"Xiaofei, do you remember what your father said to you before he passed away?" Lin Xuelian looked at Qin Fei seriously and said, "He said that one who is unable to exercise patience in small matters will ruin the great plans. If you can't even endure this little grievance, how can you expect to inherit the position of the head of the family? Now you are the only direct descendant grandson in the Qin family. The future position of the head of the Qin family can only belong to you."

"Even if you swallow your pride and go to beg Qin Xi, and even if she is willing to return to the clan, after all, she doesn't have the Qin family blood. Your grandpa just wants to use her. Once she loses her value of being used, she will eventually be abandoned."

There was a sudden gleam in Qin Fei's eyes, and he suddenly understood, "Mom, I see. Don't worry, I won't let you down! Even if Qin Xi scolds or beats me, I can bear it!"
