Lennox Qin was the eldest child of the former Chairman of Qin Industries, a company that was established by Lennox's great-grandfather. Like any influential and large family, there was fierce competition. Greed and backstabbing were usual occurrences in the Qin family.
Of his grandfather's five children, his father, Richard Qin, the fourth child, came out victorious in the race for the company's succession. He was expected to continue the legacy of their hundred-year-old company.
However, despite his victory, Lennox's father was incapable of growing the company and keeping up with their competitors. He was also a known womanizer, fathering several children with his mistresses. Unlike Lennox, these children never got the same upbringing and were denied entry into the Qin family's estates. Though they bore the surname Qin, they were not considered part of the family.
