Qin Yuan looked down, his voice tense yet restrained, "This matter is my fault, Grandpa. Please give me a bit more time. Pei Ya has no real intention of cooperating with our Qin Family. We must deal with Professor Qiao directly."
The old Mr. Qin offered a carrot after a stick, his tone slightly softened, "Don't take it to heart that Grandpa spoke harshly. If I didn't believe in your abilities, I wouldn't be this upset."
"Yes, I understand." Qin Yuan's mouth twitched, revealing a hint of sarcasm.
Although he also bore the Qin surname, he was not a legitimate member of the Qin Family. Therefore, no matter how hard he worked over the years, he had never been able to reach higher echelons within the group.
Now, with the addition of an illegitimate child, his chances of competing were even slimmer.
Polite words now wouldn't change the fact that this was nothing but an empty promise.
