Chapter 206: 206: I’m Going Out for a Bit

Even the documents approved by the President would be sent to Qin Youxuan for review.

“MC Group? The multinational MC Group?” Qin Youxuan caught sight of the contract at the top of the pile, and looked up, taken aback.

“Yes, it’s a newly secured partnership. The MC Group wants to formally enter the domestic market. The companies they’ve prioritized for collaboration include the Qin Group and other second-tier enterprises. The primary person in charge of this project is the eldest young master.”

The assistant responded respectfully.

“A project led by Jin Chenye?” There was a flicker in Qin Youxuan’s eyes.

The business territory of the MC Group was no less extensive than that of the Dan Group. In Fico City, the Dan Group had always been paramount. Given the market saturation and the strength of the Group, hardly anyone dared to compete with the Dan Family.

MC’s sudden decision to choose Fico City as the first step in their domestic market expansion felt as if they were targeting the Dan Group…

“Miss, is there a problem?” The assistant, having received no response from Qin Youxuan, was under the impression that there was an issue with the contract and couldn’t help but inquire.

“No, I was just lost in thought.” Qin Youxuan pressed her hand to her forehead, looking up, “How is the partnership with the Dan Group progressing?”

“It has been progressing well, but regarding this, the partnership that MC is negotiating with the Qin Group to be the same as the project under the Dan Group, but with double the profit-sharing. That’s why the CEO agreed to cooperate with MC.”

“What did you say?”

Qin Youxuan was taken aback and blinked.

The projects for cooperation are the same…

Just as she had thought, were they really targeting the Dan Group?

Did Dan Hanjie know?

“I need to step out for a bit. If my father asks for me, tell him I will be back shortly.”

“Alright.”

Yujing Villa.

“Swoosh–”

Qin Youxuan parked the car outside the main entrance, removed the car keys, and exited the car.

“Miss Qin.” The security guards greeted her respectfully when they saw Qin Youxuan.

“Is Dan Hanjie around? His phone is off. His secretary at the company told me he hasn’t been there for almost half a month. Is he at the villa?” Without waiting for the security guards to reply, Qin Youxuan walked straight in.

Having gone around Yujing Villa, she could not find anyone.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Not only was Hanjie not there, but even Yao was gone.

Where did he go?

“Miss Qin, Mr. Jie went abroad on some business and may not be back for some time.” Seeing Qin Youxuan’s rush, the butler hurried over to explain.

“Abroad? When did this happen?” Qin Youxuan was stunned.

“About half a month ago.”

“Half a month…” Qin Youxuan looked up at the lifeless villa, it was no wonder it felt so deserted. He had been gone for half a month.

If she calculated it right, he left the night she sent him away.

Was it because of that phone call?

What did he find…

“Miss Qin, Miss Qin! Are you okay?” The butler saw no response from her after a while and gave her a nudge.

“I’m fine, never mind if he’s not here. I originally came to share some news with him, seems like I’ve made a wasted trip.” Qin Youxuan left with a bitter smile, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss.

As she stepped out of Yujing Villa and got into her car.

She clutched the steering wheel with both hands but hesitated to start the car.

She glanced back at the familiar villa, unable to describe her feelings.

He had left, left without a word.

And here she was, like a fool, rushing over in worry, fearing that someone was plotting against the Dan Group.
