　　Qin Zhenyi called again. This was well within the expectation of Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi. However, Qin Jiran didn't answer the call this time. Instead, Jiang Xiaobin had to half-heartedly answer it. He said that he would notify him but wouldn't promise anything.

　　With such an ambiguous response, Qin Zhenyi was incapable of ascertaining Qin Jiran's thoughts. And because he was uncertain, he didn't dare act impulsively. Especially the press conference in the afternoon made him hesitant.

　　Should he go or not go? If he did, there were some benefits. He could clear his 'unfilial' reputation furthermore. After all, this press conference would make public of the old man's funeral place and time. Although the brothers hadn't personally attended the funeral, they had spent a lot of money and effort into this. It was definitely grand and magnificent, enough to prove their filiality

　　On the other hand, if he did not, he might have to face the Su Family's retaliation. If something happened and they said something they shouldn't, he would be in trouble. Although the Qin Family was powerful, it was clearly at a disadvantage in the media aspect. The amount of media power they had control over or could rope in was limited. Plus, obviously, this strength couldn't compare to that of Long Media, one of the biggest media houses. This was also a reason why he wanted to work with Qin Jiran!

　　Also, if he failed to show up, Big Brother and Third Brother might counter-attack. Although he believed these two were inept at doing anything and couldn't be compared to him, their combined shares were 50%. He really needed to worry about the two of them. If they did join hands, it was hard for him to turn the tables!

　　Qin Zhenyi wasn't stupid. He could guess Su Yanyi's motive even if only slightly. It seemed like she wanted to work with him, yet at the same time, wasn't she isolating him from the others and setting him up as the target of the rest of the people? Although he knew this, he couldn't help but be lured still, because as long as he could work with the Su Company, he would have enough power to s.n.a.t.c.h the Chairman's position from Qin Zhenren!

　　So, Qin Zhenyi was in a dilemma that lasted until the press conference was about to begin!

　　Qin Family had convened the press conference under the guise of conducting a funeral for the old man. The three Qin Brothers, as well as the grandsons all showed up. This was to clear their names about being unfilial. No matter how unwilling the younger generation was, they wouldn't dare not to show up.

　　Several newsmen were present at this press conference. This included people from the Long Media and Tiansheng Media. Once everybody had arrived, the press conference commenced.

　　The Qin Family's spokesperson was Qin Zhenren, the eldest son of the Qin Family. Being the current Chairman of the Qin Company, he was also, clearly, the best candidate.

　　"Thank you, everyone, for attending this press conference. The main purpose behind the Qin Family holding this press confidence is to clear some false rumors. My father has only just pa.s.sed away and this is a huge attack on the sons and daughters of the Qin Family. Our grievances can't be expressed through words…"

　　Qin Zhenren spoke for about 20 minutes or so on stage. He started off by trying to garner some sympathy. Then, he shared some of his memories with old man Qin. This included longing affection and respect for his father. It evoked heavy sighs from the audience. The speechwriter had indeed done a pretty good job. His writing style was great and apt at stirring up people's emotions. However, it was unclear how long Qin Zhenren had spent in memorizing this speech ma.n.u.script.

　　After Qin Zhenren, Qin Zhenyi and Qin Zhenli spoke as well. As a result of the deep contemplation, Qin Zhenyi's performance was quite amazing. He didn't act as sorrowful as Qin Zhenren or reminisce about his memories with his father. Instead, he simply announced the preparations for the funeral. He also welcomed the different groups of people over and deeply bowed as he ended. It was simple but didn't lack the seriousness. He was in deep sorrow and it felt like people could empathize with him.
