Background

Qin Jiang joined Future Technology Crystal Company as one of Ye Fan’s strongest management candidates, bringing advanced CEO experience. Ye Fan quickly placed him in charge of acquisitions, land purchases, factory and laboratory construction, production-line investigations, and research coordination for the company’s future mobile-phone projects. 16

He became Ye Fan’s principal operational aide as the company expanded beyond the X System. Qin Jiang handled laboratory progress, game-publication applications, server purchases, recruitment logistics, technology transfers, and communication with the Four Major Mobile Phone Groups. 19 26 27

Personality

Qin Jiang is dependable, diligent, and action-oriented. Ye Fan values him because he works with focus and does not procrastinate. 16

He is also prone to anxiety when facing Ye Fan’s unconventional strategies, particularly when Ye Fan delays releasing crucial technology or volunteers Warfire Hero’s Core Code. In both cases, he ultimately recognizes the wider plan and grows more confident in Ye Fan’s judgment. 20 24 38

His straightforwardness can become unintentionally tactless. He casually told Chairman Ren and the other mobile-company leaders that Future Technology had already completed several technologies they desperately needed, assuming they already knew; the disclosure left them furious and bewildered. 24 25
