To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

Unbeknownst to Lin Zhe, his investment partner, Lin Yue, was currently at the casino.

Lin Yue then said to someone next to him, "Brother Dao, lend me another 500,000. Don't worry, I guarantee we'll win this time, and I'll pay you back with interest!"

"Lin Yue, you already owe me two million, are you sure you still want to borrow it?"

"I'm sure, don't worry, we'll definitely win this time!"

A sly smile played on the man's lips: "Fine, but I don't want your so-called collateral or your lousy company!"

Lin Yue said, "I can mortgage the house to you!"

at the same time.

Elsewhere, Lu Ming was looking at his computer with a look of delighted surprise: "Haha, it's done! It's fantastic!"

Someone nearby said, "As expected, having funding makes a difference; our research and development progress has been two years ahead of schedule."

"Yes, thanks to the chairman this time! I'll tell him the good news right now!"

Lu Ming was so excited that he danced with joy.

……

However, Jiang Jinhuan had already begun training with Song Qingci.

The location is Haicheng, a beautiful coastal city.

The company provides a shuttle bus, but you can also drive yourself.

At noon, everyone gathered at the main entrance of Xingyao Group.

Shen Qinghan and the other team leaders from Xingyao Group were all present.

Everyone boarded the car one by one. After Shen Qinghan got on, she looked at Jiang Jinhuan and Song Qingci.

Sister Qian sat down next to Shen Qinghan and counted the number of people, saying, "Everyone's here, we can drive!"

Just then, someone next to him asked, "Sister Qian, Mr. Song hasn't gotten on the bus yet!"

Sister Qian said, "The president and Assistant Jiang will drive there themselves!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Jiang Jinhuan, their eyes filled with gossip.

"Is this considered a honeymoon?" someone asked.

"Shut up, or you'll be finished if the CEO hears you!" several team leaders joked.

Shen Qinghan looked somewhat dejected, then sighed.

Sure enough, a luxury car pulled up in front of the door.

Jiang Jinhuan and Song Qingci got into the car together.

"Sigh, our beautiful CEO is already taken!"

"Jiang Jinhuan has really struck gold; he's managed to get the CEO to look at him differently!"

Sister Qian chuckled and said, "Alright, enough of this nonsense about the CEO. I'll tell on you!"

Everyone immediately shut up.

Haicheng is not far from Jiangcheng; they are right next to each other.

The car arrived at the seaside after driving for more than two hours.

As everyone got off the bus, some people approached Shen Qinghan to curry favor, after all, Shen Qinghan was the most beautiful girl in Xingyao.

However, Shen Qinghan ignored them all.

The man wasn't annoyed, after all, Shen Qinghan was known for her aloofness.

The hotel we stayed at was very luxurious.

Shen Qinghan looked at the room assignment list.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Jiang Jinhuan and Song Qingci were not in the same room.

As evening approached, everyone gathered together for dinner.

Song Qingci is the president, and many people came over to toast him.

Jiang Jin Huan couldn't resist having a drink with Song Qing Ci.

Just as Jiang Jinhuan raised his glass, someone suddenly shouted, "Assistant Jiang, you and the president should drink a toast together!"

As the rumors spread and became confirmed, everyone now knows that Song Qingci and Jiang Jinhuan's relationship is different.

Who would have dared to make such a joke in the past?

But now, after that person said those words, Song Qingci was not angry at all. Instead, she looked at Jiang Jinhuan with tenderness.

Doesn't that prove anything?

Jiang Jinhuan felt a chill run down his spine, and he looked at Song Qingci for help.

At this moment, Song Qingci suddenly said, "Isn't it just a toast? Come to Jin Huan, let's have one!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd below the stage began to jeer.

Of course, there were also many envious, jealous, and resentful glances.

Only Shen Qinghan looked rather unwell.

Jiang Jinhuan looked at Song Qingci, who was waiting for him, and was a little confused. Didn't she say that she wouldn't make their relationship public?

An assistant and a president drinking from the same cup—isn't that a public relationship?

Jiang Jin Huan said, "President, please don't listen to their nonsense. I'd like to propose a toast to President Song!"

Jiang Jinhuan quickly clinked his wine cup against Song Qingci's, then drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Song Qingci looked somewhat disappointed as she finished her drink.

The crowd, having failed to witness a good show, began to sigh in disappointment.

Jiang Jinhuan looked at Song Qingci, hoping she could explain her relationship with him.

Although they have obtained their marriage certificate, Song Qingci also said that it was just to appease her family.

However, we still need to control the rumors circulating about the company.

However, Song Qingci seemed not to notice Jiang Jinhuan's gaze and continued drinking with the people next to her.

Jiang Jin Huan was speechless.

Just then, someone nudged Jiang Jinhuan and said, "Jinhuan, are you crazy? You missed such a good opportunity?"

Jiang Jinhuan thought for a moment and said, "My relationship with President Song isn't what you're thinking!"

He spoke softly, but those around him still heard him.

Jiang Jin Huan said, "My grandfather and Old Master Song have a life-or-death bond. President Song's closeness to me is entirely due to the friendship between our two families. I treat President Song like an older sister, so please don't overthink it!"

As soon as Jiang Jinhuan finished speaking, whispers immediately filled the room.

"So Jiang Jinhuan is from the Jiang family?"

"I just found out too, I see!"

"So all those messages on the forums were just rumors?"

"It seems so. I was wondering why President Song would promote Jiang Jinhuan to assistant for no reason. Is he grooming his younger brother?"

"Now that you put it that way, everything makes sense! No wonder President Song didn't address those rumors!"

A slight smile appeared on Shen Qinghan's lips, and her mood seemed to have improved.

Sister Qian looked at Jiang Jinhuan with suspicion.

Song Qingci froze for a moment and did not respond to Jiang Jinhuan's words.

The group continued drinking.

But for some reason, Song Qingci suddenly stopped drinking, and instead, she made Jiang Jinhuan drink for her whenever someone came to toast her.

Jiang Jinhuan had already drunk three glasses of red wine during this round.

He wasn't a big drinker to begin with, and he was already feeling a bit dizzy.

But he was the assistant, and it was his duty to shield the president from drinking. Although Sister Qian was there, she didn't offer to help him out.

Shen Qinghan felt a pang of heartache and tried to stop her, but Qian Jie held her back.

Sister Qian said, "Assistant Jiang, you'll inevitably be attending various banquets with the president in the future. You can't afford to have a low alcohol tolerance."

The person next to him immediately chimed in, "That's right, especially since the president is such a beautiful lady. Jin Huan should be her protector!"

"Come on, Assistant Jiang, let's have another one!"

Jiang Jinhuan realized that there was bound to be jealousy involved, and this was revenge.

Before I knew it, I'd downed two more glasses of wine.

Jiang Jinhuan felt a little cocky.

I don't know how the banquet ended after that.

In a daze, he seemed to smell a familiar fragrance.

Then he felt a familiar sensation spreading throughout his body; it was the beautiful dream he had that night.

It felt so familiar, so real.

But in his dreams, he could never see the person's face clearly.
