Chapter 572: Have I Been In Your Control?

Before Ah Hai had time to react, Lu Zhixin directly looked up. “Elder Yang, the entire project is based on Poppy! She controls half the shares in the IT department!”

“I know. Which is why, starting from today, the Yunguang Consortium will dissolve all relations with Qin Ran.” Old Master Yang smiled faintly, then said apologetically to Ah Hai, “Official news will be released soon. Men, take him away.”

A security guard came in soon and took Ah Hai out.

As soon as Old Master Yang said this, Lu Zhixin knew something was wrong.

Countless thoughts bombarded his mind, and his eyes became darker. “Elder Yang, why?”

Lu Zhixin racked his brains and still couldn’t think of anything. Why would Old Master Yang have an acrimonious falling-out with the Yunguang Consortium’s IT department?

“The EA generation robot is enough.” Old Master Yang patted Lu Zhixin on the shoulder and smiled indifferently. “Even if the Yunguang Consortium doesn’t have her, at least we still have you.”

Old Master Yang had hesitated the first time Ming Hai asked him to drive Qin Ran out of the Yunguang Consortium.

There wasn’t anything good in Ming Hai’s hands that attracted Old Master Yang.

Because Qin Ran was really important in the Yunguang Consortium’s IT department.

But he had stopped hesitating a few days ago when Ming Hai told him that Qin Ran had Ning’er’s documents.

After all, he didn’t expect that Ning’er would dare to hand Qin Ran to him without destroying the documents.

He couldn’t find Qin Ran’s confidential information but had sent someone to investigate Yun Cheng secretly. Finally, he had found a way out. In fact, Qin Ran had broken various conventions in different physical competitions.

Old Master Yang anticipated that she must have something in her hand.

Ming Hai wouldn’t use this to lie to him.

“The Yunguang Consortium didn’t rely only on her to get to this point. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.” Old Master Yang grinned at Lu Zhixin. “Don’t worry. I’ll never treat you badly.”

Most of the Yunguang Consortium’s IT department was handled by Lu Zhixin and Yang Shuyan.

Although Old Master Yang knew that Qin Ran held little weight in it, she was still young, and he didn’t know much weight she would hold in the future.

After speaking, he took his phone without waiting for Lu Zhixin’s answer, called the publicity department to disclose the news, and walked out directly.

It was very worthwhile to trade Qin Ran for the research cooperation with Ming Hai.

Old Master Yang never traded at a loss.

Inside the office, Lu Zhixin looked down, his eyes constricted with hostility.

Without saying anything to Old Master Yang, he turned on the computer and looked at all the unfinished products of Qin Ran and him on the computer desktop. He deleted all of them mercilessly and then opened a document.

Word by word, he typed very slowly—

[Resignation.]

…

The Yunguang Consortium had been a hot spot in Beijing ever since Old Master Yang’s appearance.

Old Master Yang deliberately promoted his separation from Qin Ran. In less than half an hour, everyone relevant knew about the news.

Cheng Shui naturally knew as well.

He walked to Cheng Juan’s study and went over the story.

“Old Master Yang?” Upon hearing this, Cheng Juan paused and looked up. He was a little shocked by Cheng Shui’s news.

He knew that Qin Ran respected Old Master Yang.

At this time, he could understand that anyone else would suppress Qin Ran. The only one he couldn’t understand was Old Master Yang.

“Keep this news from Cheng Tu’s side.” Cheng Juan tapped his fingers on the table, his fingertips slightly bent, and his eyes full of coldness. “Don’t let her know before she returns to Beijing.”

Having experienced the bitterness of betrayal and deception by people close to him, Cheng Juan understood the frustration and even world-weary feeling.

“Okay.” Cheng Shui nodded.

“What happened to the Yunguang Consortium?” Cheng Juan narrowed his eyes and couldn’t think of a reason. Elder Yang was backing Qin Ran a few days ago, so why would he do something to force her to a dead-end today?

Cheng Shui paused for a moment before saying, “Chairman Ming went to Elder Yang before this.”

He was about to continue when the phone in his pocket rang. Looking down, he paused for a moment before picking up.

He didn’t talk on the phone for long.

After hanging up, he turned to Cheng Juan. “It was Chairman Ming. He wants you to look for him.”

Cheng Juan raised an eyebrow. His eyes became clearer, and he looked a little crueler than ever before. He put away his hands on the table and said indifferently, “Then, go find him.”

“Boss, he obviously has something up his sleeves.” Cheng Shui followed him, looking solemn. “Everyone else has been sent by you to protect Miss Qin. You must be careful.”

Cheng Juan reached out to pull on his well-buttoned bow tie and remained silent, his eyelashes drooping.

…

Beijing Financial Center.

Cheng Juan entered the office.

Ming Hai was sitting at the desk.

Looking around, Cheng Juan kicked a chair and sat down.

The secretary immediately poured a cup of tea for him.

Ming Hai just raised his head, put down his pen, and glanced at Cheng Juan with a smile. “You’re back? That woman has too much influence on you, she must be gotten rid of. As long as you come back, you’re still my son.”

“You were behind the incident at the Yunguang Consortium?” Cheng Juan glanced at him and asked in a very soft voice.

“Sure enough, you’re my son. You’re still intelligent.” Ming Hai lowered his head and smiled. “I just lied to the old guy at the Yunguang Consortium that Qin Ran has what he wants. I can’t believe he really believed me. This is really a dog-eat-dog world.”

Ming Hai naturally knew that Qin Ran wasn’t so simple.

He was afraid of the Yunguang Consortium. These two people would become opposites, and he would then profit from it.

He picked up the teacup and calmly took a sip while talking.

Cheng Juan suddenly smiled. Since the age of 12, he hadn’t had this chill in his bones.

Ever since birth, he had been a pawn in everyone’s hands. He had lived under everyone’s control, and every step he took had been under someone else’s arrangement.

Old Master Cheng, Ming Hai, and even the five brothers had been calculating since the beginning…

Ming Hai was controlling and wanted to control everyone.

This attitude made Ming Hai feel very uncomfortable, and he frowned. “I’ve told you before, Ouyang Wei is my candidate. As long as you obey me, everything in my hands will be yours in the future, including the four major families.”

Nodding, the smile on Cheng Juan’s face suddenly faded, and he looked at him condescendingly. “Ming Hai, do you think I’ve always been under your control?”

Ming Hai suddenly looked up.

Placing his hands behind him, Cheng Juan said lightly, “I won’t play with you anymore, then.”
