Chapter 208 The good show is coming
Qin Huai raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Lin Xuan in confusion: "This is really strange. Your cooperation with the Xu family has been interrupted for a long time. Why are you suddenly interested in the Xu family's dynamics?"
He glanced at the cigarette between Lin Xuan's fingers, and a slight itch of craving for cigarettes rose in his throat. "Hey, do you still have cigarettes? I want to smoke one right now."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan raised his wrist slightly, and the cigarette box drew an elegant arc and fell steadily into Qin Huai's hand.
Qin Huai quickly took it, took out a cigarette and put it in the corner of his mouth, while groping for the lighter, he said vaguely:
"I haven't paid much attention to the Xu family's activities recently, but I heard that the Xu family intends to invest in building a factory in the west. This is a big move."
With a light click of the lighter, the tobacco was lit. Qin Huai took a deep breath. Amidst the smoke, he slowly analyzed:
"The policy support in the west is strong. If the Xu family is willing to invest heavily, the future development momentum cannot be underestimated.
After all, while Lincheng has a vast market, the competition is fierce, and labor costs and factory construction expenses are prohibitively high. The Xu family's move is a unique way to find new growth points."
Ever since the cooperation between Lin and Xu ended, Xu seemed to have lost its umbrella of protection overnight. People are fickle and the world is indifferent. In the past six months or so, Xu's life has been quite difficult.
"It sounds like the Xu family is incredibly busy," Qin Huai sighed, then changed the subject and looked at Lin Xuan in confusion, "But that doesn't explain why you're suddenly concerned about him. Wait, what exactly do you mean by asking about the Xu family?"
"Xu Xinyi is out of prison." Lin Xuan's voice was calm.
"Out of prison? So what? Are you planning to reconcile with the Xu family just because of Xu Xinyi?"
Qin Huai was stunned. Then, thinking of Lin Xuan's recent relentless pursuit of Ye Wanqing, he couldn't help but frown. "Aren't you pursuing Ye Wanqing? How come, while pursuing Ye Wanqing, you also want to take care of Xu Xinyi's affairs? Lin Xuan, what are you up to?"
The more Qin Huai spoke, the more he felt something was wrong. Although they had known Xu Xinyi for more than 20 years, they were just acquaintances in the circle and could not be considered close.
The Xu family's status is not at the same level as theirs, and their so-called friendship is just a polite show.
Lin Xuan glanced at Qin Huai with disdain, his tone filled with disdain: "When did I ever say I would help the Xu family?"
"Then what is your intention in mentioning the Xu family and telling me that Xu Xinyi was released from prison?" Qin Huai took a puff of cigarette, stared at Lin Xuan sharply, and couldn't help but blow a puff of smoke gently on his face.
Lin Xuan was caught off guard and was a little embarrassed by the sudden smoke. He took a step forward and kicked Qin Huai mercilessly.
Qin Huai felt the pain and cried out "Ouch" while holding his calf: "You are so hard to take! You can't even take a joke!"
"Of course not!" Lin Xuan snorted coldly. He took the last puff of his cigarette, stubbed out the butt, and threw it into the trash can beside him. "The Xu family is struggling right now. As soon as Xu Xinyi got out of prison, she started looking for trouble with Ye Wanqing. She's really too idle."
"You've gone through so much trouble just to tell me this?" Qin Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, feeling that all his painstaking analysis just now was in vain.
It turned out that it was because Xu Xinyi provoked Ye Wanqing that angered this old man!
"Why don't you just say it directly? Why do you have to go around in such a big circle? Are you torturing me on purpose?" Qin Huai was so angry that he almost took action.
"What on earth did Xu Xinyi do?" Lin Xuan glanced at him with a cold smile on his face. "Of course it was some shameful deeds."
"..."
Who doesn't know that? This is nonsense!
Lin Xuan had already started walking towards the car. Qin Huai's cigarette was not yet finished, so he could only hastily put it out and quickly followed him: "Why did you call me here?"
"Nothing." Lin Xuan's answer was concise and clear, but it made Qin Huai even more confused.
Qin Huai was so angry that he laughed: "You just want me to blow this cold wind?"
"No, there is something I need your help with." Lin Xuan's expression suddenly became serious.
Seeing Lin Xuan like this, Qin Huai didn't dare to smile anymore and asked seriously, "What can I help you with?"
"I'll ask Secretary Zhao to send you the information." Lin Xuan said concisely.
"Okay." Qin Huai responded, and suddenly a sense of foreboding arose in his heart, "Could it be related to the Xu family?"
"Do you want to protect the Xu family?" Lin Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of amusement.
Qin Huai spat: "Qin Zhuyu has disliked Xu Xinyi for a long time. I'm protecting her? What a joke!"
The Qin family and the Xu family did not have a close relationship, and the relationship between the Xu family and the Lin family was also a favor left by the older generation.
Over the years, the Xu family has developed smoothly with the help of the Lin family, but that blessing has long been exhausted.
Lin Xuan didn't say anything more. He elegantly opened the car door and got into the driver's seat. He only said a faint "see you later" before driving away. His back looked particularly free and easy in the night. It was obvious that he was in a particularly happy mood tonight.
Wow, it’s really hard to understand.
As Qin Huai entered the house, his phone dinged, revealing an email from Zhao Yu. He walked straight to the entrance, changed his shoes, and eagerly pulled out his phone to quickly scan the email.
After reading it, Qin Huai couldn't help but let out a playful smile, and immediately sent Lin Xuan a "666" emoji. This Xu Honghua was truly a hidden talent. If it weren't for Lin Xuan's intervention, he would have likely remained at large for several more years.
At this moment, Qin Zhuyu just pushed the door open and saw her brother standing at the door with a mysterious look on his face. She asked curiously, "Brother, what are you doing? You're standing at the door like a door god."
Qin Huai chuckled and said, "What are you talking about? I was just about to share some big news with you! Come on, take a look!"
Qin Zhuyu glanced at her brother with disdain and muttered, "What big news is this? It's so mysterious?"
Qin Huai's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he said mysteriously, "Watch it first, I guarantee you'll be surprised!"
Qin Zhuyu took the phone, glanced at her brother with a puzzled look, and then began to read the email carefully. When she saw the photo in the email, she suddenly realized: "Where did this come from? Is it real?"
"Lin Xuan gave it to me. He asked me to send it out tomorrow." Qin Huai said proudly.
Qin Zhuyu's face immediately lit up with a gloating smile when she heard this: "Haha, that's great! Now the Xu family is going to be bustling!"
It has to be said that Qin Zhuyu and Qin Huai, the brother and sister, are in perfect sync when it comes to gloating over other people's misfortunes.
Although Qin Zhuyu is three years younger than Qin Huai, she is equally straightforward and never hides anything from people or things she dislikes.
Xu Xinyi is two years older than Qin Zhuyu and always tried to squeeze into their circle.
Every time she has a party, she always makes a big splash, as if she wants the whole world to know about her existence. Qin Zhuyu has never had a good impression of Xu Xinyi, thinking that she is too vain and too utilitarian.
Now that she heard that Lin Xuan was going to deal with the Xu family, Qin Zhuyu felt relieved. She couldn't help but cheer for Lin Xuan in her heart: He finally did something that made people happy!
The brother and sister both had a low opinion of Xu Xinyi, but out of politeness and Lin Xuan's face, they maintained superficial peace.
Ever since Lin Xuan broke up with the Xu family half a year ago, and was about to take action against the Xu family again, Qin Huai and Qin Zhuyu, brother and sister, naturally stood on Lin Xuan's side without hesitation, ready to add insult to injury.
While chatting, Qin Zhuyu suddenly thought of Ye Wanqing, and she said excitedly: "Brother, I want to tell Ye Wanqing this news!"
Qin Huai quickly stopped him and said, "Wait, this matter hasn't been made public yet! And I think Lin Xuan got so angry this time, it seems to be just because of Ye Wanqing. Let's not interfere, so as not to make him unhappy."
Qin Zhuyu thought about it and felt that her brother's words made sense, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. You must plan it carefully. I'm looking forward to seeing the show tomorrow!"
Qin Huai patted his chest proudly: "Don't worry, when have I ever let you down when I'm doing things for you?"
"Okay, okay, then go and get ready!" Qin Zhuyu urged.
Being urged by his sister, Qin Huai sighed helplessly, but a smile that he couldn't hide hung on the corner of his mouth: "Okay, okay, I'll go prepare it right away. You little girl, you only know how to exploit your brother."
After saying that, Qin Huai turned and walked into the study and began to plan the upcoming "good show".
