Chapter 86 - 83. not ready....

If it was before Meilin came back, ZiXuan wouldn't have thought much to invest the money, well, no matter the result of this movie, it was a given that a star-studded movie will give back profit and no matter what amount, ZiXuan was sure he could earn it back in no time so, according to their grandfather's wish of keeping the bonds strong, he would have already invested money because even if the movie flopped being a businessman, he cared if there will be money or not...and this project reeked money, but the thing was... Meilin was sitting in front of him and though she looked aloof, any answer that he gives will have an impact in the future steps...

.......................

The moment Meilin came back from her stay abroad, she had called him back home and the first thing she asked was not about his health or if he has been well, but she had asked a very simple question, "What can you do for the Qin?"

A ZiXuan who had been beyond happy to see her back had blanked out in the question, before that day, he made sure to increase the revenue, the stock price, he made sure to make the Qin flourish, if it was someone else, he could have answered back with a simple, 'raise the economy', but he had blanked out because the Meilin at that time was not anyone else, but a thoroughbred heiress of an empire. He saw a look in her eyes that made his mind go blank, he was stunned, 'this is Qin Meilin', this thought had crossed his mind at that moment. No matter what the decision was, to carry the burden of being the next emperor of this huge empire, the largest hurdle and obstacle in front of him was this girl.

Finally, the pressure had crashed on him, without being compared he knew what he was doing was correct, but when Meilin stood in front to ask him such a question, the little girl seemed like a huge mountain, he was not sure.... he was not sure if he will ever conquer it and if he could defeat her to stand at the top.....

According to her, it was a bit too fast.

She had said that when the time came she would make sure to give him the position of CEO in the best possible manner, but because she didn't grasp the situation well, their grandfather messed it all.....

Though it might have hurt him, she still said it on his face that, he wasn't ready to take all the responsibilities, to be very frank, ZiXuan who had always wanted to prove to her that he was already grown up and didn't need her care, wanted to refute her on spot, but you see, when it came to business, even ZiXuan didn't come close to this almost-perfect existence named Meilin, if she said he wasn't ready she definitely wasn't talking about his physical age but his capability....she was always rational and could see the pros and cons, in contrast, ZiXuan was very headstrong, he was very rational too but in case he wasn't aware of the type of business, like showbiz, he would decide on the matter in terms of profit...which always wasn't a good move.

The QIN was an empire, Meilin had been groomed to be the heiress, she has the genes, she has an innate talent for it and the amount of hard work she put to be who she is now is something one can't even do throughout their whole life, but ZiXuan had a late start, he still wasn't aware of everything, no doubt he was a genius in the field, he had the knack to make money and was a revered business tycoon considering he was still young, but the QINS' were not all about money, it also had to keep its reputation and nobility for which ZiXuan still wasn't ready, it should have been a slow process, passing over the position should have occurred when he was in his late 20s, but when Meilin was a bit too involved in her work overseas and couldn't keep an eye on her grandfather she was slapped by Murphy, things that you least expect to happen will happen that too in bad situations the probability of that skyrockets.....

I will take some time....

But Meilin will make sure that ZiXuan reaches the top...

It might seem arrogant in her part still, in this world the enemy that ZiXuan had to defeat was not himself, he can conquer his past with force, but the one he actually had to defeat to evolve was Qin Meilin and not anyone else.

Both Meilin and ZiXuan*1 were aware of it, neither will Meilin give him an easy pass nor will he win easily, but they believed that the final result will satisfy the both of them...he will be the next Emperor.

............................

The sudden talk from Chairman Xun made Meilin cool down, it's not like she forgot everything about her talk with him, but this was not the time to think about it, plus she was too paranoid to ask him about it...she..didn't want to know the answer to that...as long as she didn't know, it means that it was not a negative...she at the very least, wanted to hope that there was a possibility.

When she heard everything, she had this huge urge to snort, but that would be unbecoming of her at her current position so, she controlled her expression well.

ZiXuan who had seen her eye and lips slightly twitch as her nose flared up a bit, "..........", 'ah, she is making it harder for me to not laugh!!!'

"Ahem! Thank you for your consideration, Chairman Xun. Please send your proposal, I'll personally see to it if the Qin will invest in this", it made sure to enunciate 'the Qin'.

It was a huge slap to Chairman Xun and his face had a constipated look for a second, but both didn't care.

Chairman Xun was aware that he was acting too important just now, he thought that it was only natural for ZiXuan to invest in whatever the Xuns did, considering they will become in-laws plus he wanted to sound arrogant so that, it will make ZiXuan feel indebted to him because as far as he knew, previously ZiXuan would have made the decision on spot as the profit was clear to the eyes.... but he didn't today, the only peculiarity or difference between their previous meetings was, his eyes shifted to the girl who had only spoken twice today, but whose presence has been too strong to ignore....' a starving camel is still bigger than a horse, huh? Even if she is the fallen heiress, she is still the only direct blood of Qin, is it?'

Meilin who had been analysing the amount of information felt his eyes on her and look straight into his eyes, she had already found some loopholes in what he had said, was he trying to dupe money out of ZiXuan, INFRONT OF HER?!!!

Chairman Xun was startled. He had never seen such a cold pair of eye, it was as if, she could see through his whole existence as if he was an open book, he felt cold sweat forming in his back.....

"Just what is she--?"

I have never mentioned it before, but Meilin means plum jade/ purple jade.....both their names have a similar meaning with ZiXuan has a similar meaning to a purple heavenly jade, I didn't know this when I decided on their names so, when I found the meaning to their names I thought them being a couple is fate!!!
