"Mr. Qin, my preparations were insufficient."
The man in the suit, Wei Xinghuai, stepped forward and said apologetically.
He hadn't expected Zhang Yazhu to resort to brute force immediately. As soon as he joined the company, he and the other security guards were held captive by Zhang Yazhu's subordinates.
"I heard you say before that Zhang Yazhu isn't some shrew who only understands brute force. I think her actions this time likely have a deeper meaning."
Qin Yi said softly.
Wei Xinghuai immediately understood Qin Yi's words:
"Mr. Qin, do you mean that Zhang Yazhu has someone behind her, and that person instructed her to use her to test you?"
"Hmm."
Qin Yi nodded. He felt that things weren't that simple.
Bringing people to forcibly seize Jiuzhou Group's shares—how could that possibly succeed? The more he thought about it, the more Qin Yi felt there was a deeper meaning behind it.
Of course, if Qin Yi was overthinking it, that would be even better.
Before, he thought his granduncle's ex-wife would be difficult to deal with. If she truly lacked intelligence like this, it would be too easy for Qin Yi, who already possessed Master-level People Management Techniques, to handle her.
"Mr. Qin, I'll go investigate right away."
Wei Xinghuai nodded.
"The four of you, from now on, follow Assistant Wei and obey his orders."
Qin Yi called over four bodyguards from Qiong Ding Security Group to accompany Wei Xinghuai.
After Wei Xinghuai left, Qin Yi quietly spoke a few more words to the bodyguard next to him.
"Yes, Mr. Qin, I'll handle it immediately."
Upon receiving Qin Yi's order, the bodyguard left at once.
"Mr. Qin, I heard something happened. Chairman Shen's ex-wife came?"
Just as Qin Yi was about to return to his office, a cheerful voice came.
Qin Yi turned his head and saw Sun Mingjie, the company's second-largest shareholder, striding in.
"Minor issue, already handled."
Qin Yi waved his hand.
Seeing this, Sun Mingjie was not surprised. If Qin Yi couldn't even handle Zhang Yazhu, that former 'flower vase,' then he would be too useless and wouldn't even be fit to be his opponent.
Afterward, Qin Yi and Sun Mingjie boarded the elevator.
"Huh?"
"Mr. Qin, why aren't you wearing a watch?"
Suddenly noticing Qin Yi's bare wrist, Sun Mingjie couldn't help but ask. Many wealthy individuals have their own hobbies; some like beautiful women, some like supercars, and Sun Mingjie is particularly fond of top-tier wristwatches, having nearly a hundred in his collection at home.
When it came to watches, Sun Mingjie seemed like a different person, talking endlessly.
As Sun Mingjie spoke, he smugly shook his wrist, revealing his watch. The meaning was clear.
"Mr. Sun changed his watch today. I remember it wasn't this one yesterday."
Qin Yi said casually.
"Mr. Qin's observational skills are truly keen! This Vacheron Constantin Patrimony cost me nearly seven million to acquire. It's a classic from Vacheron Constantin, composed of..."
Sun Mingjie proudly showed off his Vacheron Constantin to Qin Yi, looking quite pleased.
"By the way, I've collected over a hundred top-tier watches. I see Mr. Qin doesn't have one; how about I give you one?"
There was a hint of barely concealed superiority in Sun Mingjie's tone.
"No need, I just bought a watch."
Qin Yi shook his head.
"Oh?"
"Where is it? What kind of watch is it?"
Sun Mingjie immediately became interested.
"Just an ordinary Patek Philippe, it's in my office."
Qin Yi replied calmly.
"Patek Philippe! That's the world's top watch brand, the King of Watches. That's not ordinary at all!"
Sun Mingjie corrected him.
"If Mr. Qin doesn't mind, could you let me broaden my horizons?"
Although he said this, Sun Mingjie was inwardly dismissive. Patek Philippe's reputation is too great; ordinary Patek Philippe models are naturally nothing special, but the top-tier ones are sometimes impossible to buy even with money.
He didn't believe that Qin Yi, who had just taken over the company for two days and was an ordinary person before, would have any impressive watch.
At most, it would be a Patek Philippe worth a few million, certainly not comparable to his seven-million Vacheron Constantin.
Soon, Sun Mingjie followed Qin Yi to his office.
From a distance, Sun Mingjie saw the Patek Philippe on Qin Yi's desk, and he became extremely curious.
Qin Yi was also curious, wondering what his global limited edition of ten Patek Philippe watches actually looked like.
Qin Yi stepped forward and slowly opened the box under Sun Mingjie's curious gaze.
In an instant, a brand new Patek Philippe appeared before their eyes.
At first, Sun Mingjie, who was full of confidence and thought Qin Yi definitely couldn't surpass him, saw what Qin Yi's Patek Philippe looked like, and the smug smile on his face immediately froze.
"This... is this the Patek Philippe 6300GR-001, limited to ten pieces worldwide?!"
Sun Mingjie exclaimed, his face filled with shock.
"Yes."
Qin Yi nodded calmly.
Upon confirmation, Sun Mingjie's jaw dropped, forming an envious contrast to Qin Yi's composure.
He truly couldn't believe that Qin Yi actually owned a top-tier watch of this caliber.
The Vacheron Constantin he had just shown off was nothing in front of this; seven million wasn't even as expensive as a fraction of its price!
The Patek Philippe, limited to ten pieces worldwide, in front of Qin Yi was worth tens of millions!!!
Upon remembering how he had just been showing off in front of Qin Yi, Sun Mingjie's face instantly flushed red with embarrassment.
Under Sun Mingjie's envious and jealous gaze, Qin Yi took out the Patek Philippe and casually put it on his wrist.
"Not bad."
Watching Qin Yi actually intend to wear this global limited edition of ten Patek Philippe watches just like that, Sun Mingjie was so envious his teeth were practically grinding.
If it were him, owning such a top-tier watch, he would surely hide it deep in a safe, completely unwilling to wear it.
Unable to bear it any longer, Sun Mingjie found an excuse and quickly left Qin Yi's office.
"I've already accumulated 29 points of Rise Value. Can I exchange items in the Mall now?"
Qin Yi muttered softly.
Before, Qin Yi had researched the system's Mall, but unfortunately, most of the items inside required tens of points of Rise Value to exchange, and Qin Yi didn't have enough Rise Value at the time.
But now, having completed three system tasks and possessing 29 points of Rise Value, he could take another look.
Thinking this, Qin Yi opened the system Mall, and instantly, countless incredibly precious items appeared before Qin Yi's eyes.
