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

Qin's father's expression changed slightly, but after thinking about the hardships his daughter had endured over the years, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, but I still need to test her out. I don't want her to end up being all talk and no action."

"How should we test him?"

"As for specifics, they can talk a lot of big talk, but the real skill is putting concrete measures into practice. If he can pass the test, I wouldn't mind if Lanlan dated him."

The father walked back to Jiang Jinhuan with a warm smile on his face: "Jiang, we were just talking about the direction of industrial transformation, please continue."

Qin Lan then looked at her father.

Her father gave her a look.

Qin Lan closed her mouth again, but her gaze fell on Jiang Jinhuan.

Jiang Jinhuan understood Qin's father's question and assumed that the other party had expressed an intention to cooperate.

Naturally pleased, we continued our previous conversation.

This time, Qin's father asked even more probing questions.

He asked not only about industrial transformation, but also about the macroeconomy, corporate management, talent development, and development trends for the next ten years.

Jiang Jin Huan answered each question one by one, calmly and clearly.

The data he cited was detailed and reliable, his viewpoints were novel and insightful, and his suggestions were to the point.

The more Qin's father listened, the more alarmed he became.

This young man's breadth of knowledge and depth of insight far exceeded his imagination.

He even felt that even those old foxes who had been navigating the business world for decades might not have the same vision and perspective as Jiang Jinhuan.

"Xiao Jiang, you...you really just graduated not long ago?" Qin's father couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Jinhuan smiled and said, "I haven't graduated yet. I'll get my diploma next year."

Qin's father and mother exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

It's astonishing that a college student who hasn't even graduated yet possesses such profound knowledge and a keen business sense.

This young man has a bright future ahead of him.

"Xiao Jiang, come, let's sit down and talk." Qin's father warmly pulled Jiang Jinhuan to sit down and had the servants serve tea again.

This conversation lasted another fifteen minutes.

The conversation ranged from industrial transformation to technological innovation, from technological innovation to the international situation, and from the international situation to talent cultivation.

The more Qin's father talked, the more excited he became, as if he had found a kindred spirit.

Jiang Jinhuan, however, always maintained a humble attitude, neither arrogant nor impatient, neither humble nor overbearing.

Standing to the side, Qin's mother watched her husband and Jiang Jinhuan chatting happily, and she had already made up her mind.

The Qin family is determined to have this son-in-law.

……

At this moment, Jiang Zhe finally arrived at the Qin family's old residence.

He was supposed to arrive earlier, but something unexpected happened on the way.

His tire got punctured by something, so he had to call a tow truck and then take a taxi.

"Damn it, of all times, something goes wrong." Jiang Zhe cursed as he got out of the car, straightened his collar, and strode towards the gate.

As soon as he reached the door, a man who looked like a butler stopped him.

"May I ask who you are...?"

"Jiang Zhe, the Qin family invited me here," Jiang Zhe said somewhat impatiently.

The butler's eyes flickered, then he said politely, "Young Master Jiang, I'm so sorry, but the master just instructed that you go to the side hall to rest for a while. He has some things to take care of and will come to see you as soon as he's done."

Jiang Zhe frowned, but considering that this was the Qin family's residence, he couldn't make a scene and could only follow the butler to the side hall.

The side hall was empty; he was the only one there.

Jiang Zhe sat on the sofa and waited for ten minutes, twenty minutes, and half an hour.

Still, no one came.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Qin Lan smiled and pulled Jiang Jinhuan to pay their respects to the elders of the Qin family one by one.

It was completely like a son-in-law meeting his elders.

Jiang Jinhuan was somewhat puzzled, but the Qin family was deeply rooted, and these elders had influence in all aspects.

Jiang Jinhuan instinctively wanted to build a good relationship with these elders, so although he found Qin Lan's actions strange, he did not object.

His lack of objection was seen as tacit approval by Qin's relatives and friends.

Jiang Jinhuan tacitly acknowledged that he was Qin's son-in-law.

Since that's the case, they're all family, so everyone was very enthusiastic.

"Kid, you better treat my Lanlan well. If you dare make Lanlan angry, you can forget about living in Jiangcheng!"

Jiang Jinhuan's smile was somewhat stiff. The Qin family was the real local tyrant of Jiangcheng.

The statement that "I have connections in almost every industry, even government departments" is truly valuable!

This is why, even though the Qin family has declined somewhat, no one dares to target them.

Because they are truly someone you can't afford to mess with!

Jiang Jin Huan found these words rather strange.

He and Qin Lan were just ordinary friends and hadn't known each other for very long. The closest they ever got was him taking care of Qin Lan for one night.

Why are these elders of the Qin family looking at him as if they were looking at Qin Lan's man?

Unlike the bustling front hall.

Jiang Zhe was so calm that you could hear him breathing.

He stood up impatiently, wanting to go out and see what was going on, but as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by another servant.

"Young Master Jiang, the master is not finished yet, please wait a little longer."

Jiang Zhe gritted his teeth and could only sit back down.

……

Halfway through the banquet, Qin Lan, following her mother's wishes, left early with Jiang Jinhuan.

"Sister Lan, why are you leaving so early?" Jiang Jinhuan asked, somewhat puzzled.

Qin Lan took his arm, a gentle smile on her face: "I'm a little tired, I want to go back and rest, will you take me?"

Jiang Jinhuan glanced at her. Qin Lan had been drinking, and her cheeks were flushed. Her mature and alluring aura made his mouth dry. He nodded: "Okay."

The two walked out of the banquet hall, and Qin Lan's car was already parked at the entrance.

Jiang Jinhuan opened the car door for her, Qin Lan got in, and he followed her into the driver's seat.

The car started and slowly drove out of the Qin family's old house.

Qin Lan leaned back in her chair, turning her head to look at Jiang Jinhuan's profile, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Sister Lan, what are you looking at?" Jiang Jinhuan noticed her gaze and asked with a smile.

Qin Lan quickly looked away, her face slightly flushed: "No...it's nothing."

Jiang Jinhuan didn't think much of it and focused on driving.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zhe, who was in the side hall, finally couldn't wait any longer.

He stood up and, ignoring the servants' attempts to stop him, rushed straight into the banquet hall.

But when he pushed open the door, most of the people in the banquet hall had already left.

He searched everywhere but couldn't find Qin Lan.

"Where's Qin Lan?" he asked, grabbing a servant.

"The young lady has already left."

Jiang Zhe's face instantly turned ashen.

He traveled a long way and waited for almost an hour, but he didn't even get to see Qin Lan.

At this moment, Qin's mother came over: "Xiao Zhe, this matter was poorly arranged by me. We just dealt with some family matters here, internal affairs of the Qin family, which is why I sent you to the side hall!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhe felt a surge of anger, but he couldn't vent it.

After all, they said they were talking about family matters and didn't want an outsider like him to hear, which is perfectly reasonable.

Jiang Zhe, suppressing his anger, said, "It's alright, but where's Qin Lan? Isn't she here?"

Qin's mother's eyes flickered, and she said, "Xiao Zhe, what we were talking about just now was related to Lanlan. Lanlan and I had a big fight, and she left early. This time, it was my fault for not arranging things properly. Your marriage with Lanlan may not be able to continue!"
