Waiting for you at the place where you are reborn

Qinhe’s branch is located in the big data center in Lincheng.

Because Lincheng has a suitable climate, the country's data centers and many R&D centers of core data industries have moved here.

Qinhe's branch is the largest institution here, occupying a seven-story office building in the data center. They mainly conduct software research and development in biology and medicine.

Qi Xiangtian was assigned to be the general manager of the Qinhe branch. Because he had no interest in management, he invited his good friend Zhang Lang to switch from another company to help him.

Zhang Lang, who also holds a doctorate, is not very interested in research or technology, but he has a quick mind, extensive information, and many connections, making him a good manager and business operator. Every year, he brings in business in the eight-digit range.

Qi and Zhang, one a scholar and one a warrior, worked together very well. After two years in Qinhe, they made the branch company flourish and won the praise of the leaders of the headquarters.

In the morning, a calculation in the laboratory failed, so Qi Xiangtian was called in early in the morning to help. At noon, the calculation had not yet produced a result.

Assistant Wan Xin called Qi Xiangtian several times but he didn't have time to answer.

At 1:00, the takeaway lunch arrived at the laboratory. Qi Xiangtian took advantage of the meal time to check his phone and called his assistant back: "Wan Xin, what's the matter? Why are you calling me so many times?"

"One of your friends from abroad came to see you. She insisted on meeting you. She was the one who kept asking me to call you."

"Friends from abroad? What's their name?" Qi Xiangtian asked.

"She said her name is Song Qiaoran, and if she tells you, you will definitely meet her."

"Oh..." Qi Xiangtian then remembered that Professor James had called her a few days ago and said that Song Qiaoran had asked for his address and came to Lincheng to find him. "I see, you arrange for her to have dinner first, and I'll go back to the office after I finish the calculations."

Song Qiaoran, Qi Xiangtian was a little troubled. She had returned to China and was going to come and find him.

Song Qiaoran's identity is not simple. Her father is Song Siyao, the largest pharmaceutical tycoon in Lincheng. Song Siyao's industry involves the research and development and manufacturing of Chinese and Western medicines, medical equipment manufacturing, biological preparations research and development and manufacturing, and health food research and development and manufacturing.

Song Siyao and Qi Xiangtian’s teacher in the United States, Professor James, are good friends. For some of his projects, Professor James’ laboratory provided him with data support.

Speaking of which, the process of getting to know Song Qiaoran was really thrilling.

Five years ago, Song Qiaoran was kidnapped and extorted. The kidnappers wanted Song Siyao to sell the land he had just bought to build a factory. Song Siyao had just bought the land, so he would not give it up easily.

The kidnapper is Yao Hong from Tianyuan Group, Song Siyao's rival in the land competition. Yao Hong is involved in a wide range of industries in Lincheng, including real estate, 4S stores, catering and entertainment.

The kidnappers were arranged by Qi Jinye for Yao Hong. Yao Hong never showed up when doing things, and he would not participate in the dangers of the underworld. In front of people in the industry, he was just a legal businessman.

Qi Jinye is a well-known black and white contact in Lincheng. To the outside world, he is a legitimate businessman with five 4S stores and a high-profit bar. People in the industry know that he started his career by doing two things: casinos and loan sharking. Privately, he is even more comfortable mixing with businessmen from all walks of life, helping them solve problems that are inconvenient to solve. Whether it is providing manpower or labor, it is something he is good at.

Yao Hong helped Qi Jinye obtain the agency rights for several automobile brands. Of course, Qi Jinye would repay Yao Hong for this favor.

To the outside world, no one knew that it was Qi Jinye who was helping Yao Hong.

Originally, only Qi Jinye and Yao Hong knew this secret.

However, Qi Xiangtian unexpectedly overheard the phone call between the two, and from their conversation, he learned the address of the kidnapper.

In this way, he quietly arrived at the place where the kidnappers were hiding. He spent more than an hour to understand the surrounding terrain, and then called Qi Jinye, "Dad - release the people you kidnapped. What you did is illegal. It's not too late to release them now."

"How do you know?" Qi Jinye was surprised.

"I heard you. I have found where you hid your people."

"Come back here. This is the agreement between me and the other party. Don't meddle in these things," said Qi Jinye.

"Businesses should be fair in competition. We should not resort to such extreme measures just because we fail in business. If we do this, society will be in chaos. How can we continue to live?"

"Fair?" Qi Jinye said, "If there was fairness, I wouldn't have been wrongly laid off."

"You can't take your anger out on everyone in society because of your own problems." Qi Xiangtian said, "What you have done will eventually come back to haunt you."

"Bullshit - are you talking about yourself? You are my son, isn't my retribution on you?"

"I will go and rescue him." Qi Xiangtian said firmly, "If you don't want your only son to get into trouble, just let him go."

"I think you are crazy." Qi Jinye was furious.

"It's up to you to decide whether to let him go or not. I'll go save him right away." Qi Xiangtian hung up the phone.

Without any skills or tools, Qi Xiangtian subconsciously waited for Qi Jinye to stop in his tracks, otherwise, he could only save people alone relying on courage and luck.

Fortunately, Qi Jinye called again, and he sighed helplessly, "Go in, they will hand the person over to you."

"Okay, I'll go in right away." Qi Xiangtian was so excited that he almost cried.

Qi Xiangtian saw Song Qiaoran in the corner of the room. She was wearing a white cashmere shawl and camel-colored trousers. She was sitting at the table, prostrating herself on the table with her hands on her head. She looked lifeless.

"Song Qiaoran——" Qi Xiangtian shouted, "I'm here to take you home."

Song Qiaoran looked up at Qi Xiangtian in front of her, and her eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't know why she was kidnapped, nor did she know who the person who came to save her was, but Qi Xiangtian's tone and eyes made her feel safe and trusting.

"Who are you?" Song Qiaoran asked.

"I'm Qi Xiangtian, I'll take you home."

Qi Xiangtian took Song Qiaoran back home.

However, Qi Jinye was unable to explain to Yao Hong, so he secretly transferred a piece of land he had just acquired to Yao Hong as an apology.

Song Siyao was regarded as a legendary hero because Qi Xiangtian saved Song Qiaoran and brought her home. Song Siyao didn't know who kidnapped her daughter, nor did she know the private deal between Qi Jinye and Yao Hong. She just thought it was a simple kidnapping and extortion. She was very grateful to Qi Jinye and his son for helping her rescue her daughter, and immediately injected capital into Qi Jinye's 4S store.

From then on, Song Qiaoran became Qi Xiangtian's follower. Wherever Qi Xiangtian went, Song Qiaoran would go.

Four years ago, Qi Xiangtian went to work in California, USA. His co-teacher, James, was a good friend of Song Siyao.

The next year, Song Qiaoran asked Song Siyao to send her to study in California, USA, so that she could find Qi Xiangtian.

Two years ago, Qi Xiangtian returned to China, but Song Qiaoran had not completed his studies yet, so he continued to study in California.

A few days ago, Professor James told Qi Xiangtian that Song Qiaoran had returned to China and she was going back to Lincheng to find Qi Xiangtian.
