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

He didn't listen to much at all just now, and now he's being asked to give "instructions"? He doesn't even know what others have done, so what instructions can he give?

"Hmm..." He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and hesitated for a few seconds. "Director Zhang, your work this quarter... overall, is acceptable, but..."

He paused.

But what?

He couldn't say it.

The air in the conference room seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Luo Qingyi paused her pen on the notebook, glanced at him slightly, her cool eyes showing no obvious expression.

"But I think there are still some details that can be optimized," Jiang Zhe finally managed to say.

Director Zhang waited a few seconds, and seeing that he didn't say anything more, she looked at him suspiciously, then nodded politely: "Okay, we will continue to optimize it."

The scene became awkward at one point.

Luo Qingyi spoke up at the opportune moment: "The next topic is the sales department's performance analysis, which will be reported by Director Wang."

Director Wang stood up, walked to the projection screen, and without even opening the PowerPoint presentation, picked up a whiteboard marker and started drawing on the whiteboard.

"I don't like fancy stuff, let's get straight to the data." Director Wang's voice was deep and powerful. "Last quarter's sales increased by 12% compared to the same period last year, but net profit only increased by 5%. Why? Because the cost of sales increased. I've done the math..."

Director Wang wrote a string of numbers on the whiteboard, his writing flowing smoothly and logically, each stroke like an X drawn on Jiang Zhe's face.

It must be said that although Director Wang may seem rough, he is indeed a man of real talent and ability. He is a capable leader who dares to fight and take risks. He is responsible for opening up a significant portion of Jiang's market.

As Jiang Zhe looked at the numbers, sweat beaded on his forehead.

After Director Wang finished his report, he sat back down in his seat without even exchanging pleasantries, as if Jiang Zhe didn't exist at all.

He even looked at Jiang Zhe with a hint of disdain.

Was Jiang Jinhuan treated the same way back then? But how did Jiang Jinhuan eventually manage to get this guy to wholeheartedly support him?

Jiang Zhe's face turned pale and then red, but he didn't dare to say anything.

The next two topics, the reports from the finance department and the human resources department, also made Jiang Zhe feel extremely uneasy.

He barely spoke throughout the entire session, and whenever asked for his opinion, he would respond with ambiguous words.

After the meeting, the heads of various departments left one after another.

But the way they looked at Jiang Zhe when they left was strange.

Luo Qingyi closed her notebook, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"Assistant Luo," Jiang Zhe called out to her, his voice tinged with suppressed annoyance, "who prepared today's meeting materials?"

Luo Qingyi turned around and looked at him calmly: "I prepared it. Is there a problem?"

"It's too complicated." Jiang Zhe frowned. "Could you make it simpler next time? For example... highlight the key points, or make a summary?"

Luo Qingyi paused for two seconds, her tone still polite but with a hint of coldness: "Manager Jiang, the meeting materials are already a simplified version."

If you find this difficult to understand, I suggest you take the time to systematically learn about the company's business. This is the most basic content, and any department head should be able to understand it.

Jiang Zhe was speechless.

He couldn't believe that this seemingly incomprehensible document was actually the most basic thing.

After Luo Qingyi finished speaking, she turned and walked out of the conference room without waiting for his response.

Jiang Zhe sat alone in the empty conference room, his expression twisting for a moment.

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms.

"Luo Qingyi..." he gritted his teeth and whispered the name, his eyes sinister, "You wait, one day I'll make you obey me."

But he knew in his heart that he had indeed made a fool of himself at today's meeting.

The way those directors looked at him fueled his anger.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

As long as he could get the Song family's support, and as long as Luo Qingyi was willing to help him wholeheartedly, he didn't believe he couldn't turn his life around.

He will definitely crush Jiang Jinhuan under his feet.

"Jiang Jin Huan, I'm going to take everything back from you!"

As Director Wang returned to his office, a young and beautiful woman walked in.

"Dad, did you meet the Jiang family's young master today? What did you think of him?"

Director Wang scoffed, "He seems like a complete waste. I don't know what Jiang Guodong is thinking; doesn't he know what kind of person his son is?"

Wang Shih-han asked in surprise, "Dad, is he really that bad?"

Director Wang said, "You believe he doesn't even know the most basic business terminology?"

Wang Shihhan's mouth dropped open. "Isn't he a top student who returned from abroad?"

Director Wang chuckled lightly: "Those who return from abroad aren't necessarily talented; they might even be trash! And this kind of trash often has a glamorous exterior, adorned with the halo of foreign expertise, but they're actually worse than the trash from within the country—at least they're down-to-earth!"

Wang Shih-han smacked her lips: "Dad, you still have such a sharp tongue. No wonder you and Mom fight every day!"

Director Wang's face fell. "That's your mother being unreasonable!"

Wang Shihhan chuckled twice: "Dad, it's only because my mom can accept you. Anyone else would probably have been driven away by your sharp tongue long ago."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang's face flushed red, and he let out a cold snort.

Wang Shihhan changed the subject: "Dad, doesn't the Jiang family have a second son?"

"You've heard about it too?"

"Yes, that's what Mom said. She said that if we didn't have relatively close ties with the Jiang family, she wouldn't even know when they had a second son!"

Director Wang said, "Well, not many people know about this. That second young master has never been to the company, and I've never even met him. But because of the Song family's matter, I only just noticed this second young master. I think his name is Jiang Jinhuan?"

"Huh? What's your name?" Wang Shihhan looked at her father in surprise.

"Your name is Jiang Jinhuan, what's wrong?"

"Him? No way? It shouldn't be!" Wang Shihhan shook her head.

"Do you know him?"

"I know a classmate named Jiang Jinhuan, but he's a legendary figure in our grade. He received scholarships for three years, published numerous papers, and won countless awards. He's a legend of our year!"

Wang Shihhan's face flushed slightly as she spoke.

"What? You like it?"

"He's very outstanding. Many of us girls like him, okay? But his family isn't well-off, so he's always worked part-time to earn his tuition. And he's also very proud and won't accept charity."

I only spoke to him a few times! He won't accept my help either, humph, this guy just won't suffer! It's not like I can't afford to support him!

Wang Shihhan suddenly realized something and quickly covered her mouth, blushing slightly.

Director Wang stroked his chin. "Working while studying? That can't be the second son of the Jiang family. The Jiang family wouldn't leave him without even pocket money. It must be someone with the same name! Do you like her, young lady? If you do, you can bring her back so I can see her!"

Wang Shihhan said, "Ugh, Dad, I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Wang Shihhan was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

Just then, Wang Shihhan's phone rang.

She answered the phone, her eyes lighting up: "Xiaoya? Where are you? Okay, see you tonight!"
