Chapter 44: Protecting the Child In his previous life, Old Master Lu would also give Qin Sheng some pointers on her paintings. He would often sigh that he could not catch up with Qin Sheng. When his paintings were placed together with Qin Sheng’s anonymously, those people would think that Qin Sheng’s paintings were better than his.

Qin Sheng narrowed her eyes. If she remembered correctly, the competition to register for H City was in the next few days. She would send the paintings to H City’s Painting Association two weeks later.

When she came back, she heard Qin Churou say that she had already signed up.

Qin Sheng opened the registration page, filled in the information, and clicked to confirm the registration.

In fact, she previously did not plan to sign up. Painting was just one of her interests. Qin Churou had offended her, and she was not someone who was willing to be wronged.

So, she signed up for the painting competition in H City and would help to reject Qin Churou.

In her previous life, Qin Churou had won an excellent award in the Youth Painting Competition. Her ranking wasn’t high, but as long as she could participate in the Youth Painting Competition, she was almost always the best among her peers.

Qin Hai took this and bragged in front of his friends for a long time. Qin Churou had also made a name for herself.

Qin Sheng didn’t want to give Qin Churou this opportunity.

Qin Sheng didn’t take any more orders regarding computer protection systems. After signing up, she turned off the computer and picked up the drawing board. The board was still blank.

She had been busy with company matters these days and was not free. Now, she was much more free.

The brush landed on the drawing paper. After a long while, Qin Sheng only wrote one word: regret.

Qin Sheng rejected Fu Hanchuan’s help, but Fu Hanchuan still asked Assistant Lin to investigate.

In less than a day, the results were sent to Fu Hanchuan.

“President, Qin Churou is very suspicious. She did it secretly. I can’t find any evidence.” Assistant Lin called Fu Hanchuan to report.

Fu Hanchuan rarely went to the company. The company’s affairs were usually sent to Fu Hanchuan’s home by Assistant Lin.

It was not particularly important, nor did it need to be signed. It was Assistant Lin who told Fu Hanchuan over the phone.

“Qin Churou.” Fu Hanchuan’s thin lips opened slightly, and his voice was very cold. “Doesn’t Qin Hai want that piece of land? Buy it, no matter the price.”

Fu Hanchuan protected his family. He would not allow anyone to bully his people.

Qin Churou was left for Qin Sheng to play with. But that did not mean that he would not do anything.

Assistant Lin nodded. “Yes.”

That piece of land belonged to a partner of Fu Hanchuan’s company. When he heard that Fu Hanchuan wanted that piece of land, he also wanted to curry favor with HD Group. Without saying anything, he gave that piece of land to Fu Hanchuan.

After all, there were not many opportunities to curry favor with the HD Group.

Assistant Lin still bought it at the market price. The HD Group would not want to owe a favor.

The Qin Real Estate and the Fang Corporation had not signed the contract yet. Since the Fang Corporation had gone back on their word, there was nothing Qin Hai could do. He was so anxious that the corner of his mouth was bubbling. He quickly called, “Chairman Fang, look here, didn’t we have an agreement?”

Qin Hai’s tone was very respectful. The Fang Corporation was very powerful and he did not dare to offend them.

The chairman of the Fang Corporation narrowed his eyes into a line. He said with a smile, “Didn’t we not sign the contract yet? I am also in a difficult position. Someone has bought it and the other party is very powerful. I cannot offend him, right?”

Qin Hai was furious.

First, he said he did not sign the contract. Wasn’t this telling him that he could not do anything to him even if he went back on his word?

“Chairman Fang, we can discuss the price again, as long as you’re willing to give me the land.” Qin Hai lowered his voice. He really needed that piece of land now.

Chairman Fang didn’t change his words. “Chairman Qin, this isn’t about the money. The main thing is that he wants it. If I offend him, I won’t be able to handle it.”
