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

"Okay, it's settled then." Shen Qinghan stood up. "After the meeting, Jin Huan should organize the specific ideas and send them to me. The rest of you can start preparing according to your assigned tasks."

Time is tight and the task is heavy, so overtime is inevitable. Please bear with us; I'll treat everyone to dinner after the project is completed.

"Long live the team leader!" Fatty Zhou was the first to cheer.

The others laughed too, and the atmosphere in the meeting room went from dull to lively.

Shen Qinghan finished tidying up the documents, walked to Jiang Jinhuan's side, and said in a low voice, "Well done."

Then, without lingering, she walked straight out of the conference room.

Fatty Zhou leaned over and nudged Jiang Jinhuan with his shoulder: "Not bad, kid. You've just arrived and you're already the project manager. That's unprecedented!"

With this experience, your future promotions will be much smoother. Your superiors will definitely consider this a crucial factor in their evaluations; this is experience that money can't buy!

Jiang Jinhuan shook his head: "I've only suggested an idea; the actual implementation will depend on everyone."

"Don't give me that. Excessive modesty is just arrogance." Fatty Zhou patted him on the shoulder. "But seriously, your analysis just now was really brilliant. I didn't even think to check the client's financial statements from three years ago. How did you come up with that idea?"

Jiang Jinhuan smiled but did not answer.

What he didn't say was that during his three years at the Jiang family, he developed a habit—to dig out as much useful information as possible from limited resources.

Only by having enough information can one find a space to survive in the cracks.

This habit has saved him many times, and now it's starting to work.

Just as Shen Qinghan entered the office, someone knocked on the door and came in.

It was Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan looked at Shen Qinghan and said, "Team leader, I still think it's too hasty of you to make a newcomer the project manager so quickly. Does he, as a newcomer, have the ability?"

Shen Qinghan frowned slightly as she looked at Lin Yuan: "Lin Yuan, I've already said that if you believe you have the ability to create a satisfactory proposal for the client within five days, I can put you in charge! That promise still stands. Do you want it?"

Lin Yuan's face stiffened; he didn't know much about what Jiang Jinhuan had mentioned.

Even with Jiang Jinhuan's ideas, it's impossible to complete two proposals within five days.

Looking at Lin Yuan's expression, Shen Qinghan's eyes turned somewhat cold as she said, "Lin Yuan, you know me. I only look at ability when hiring people. This matter is settled."

Lin Yuan nodded helplessly, "I understand!"

As Lin Yuan walked out of Shen Qinghan's office and passed Jiang Jinhuan's workstation, he sneered, "Don't get too cocky after you've gotten your way!"

Jiang Jinhuan was somewhat taken aback.

Fatty Zhou, standing nearby, frowned and looked at Lin Yuan, then shook his head, saying, "This Lin Yuan is so narrow-minded!"

Jiang Jinhuan tapped the table lightly with his finger and suddenly smiled.

Fatty Zhou was taken aback: "You can still laugh?"

Jiang Jin Huan said, "What's the big deal? I'm not a hundred-yuan bill; it's just me who likes things!"

Fatty Zhou said, "That's true. Only mediocre people aren't envied. This proves you really are talented!"

Jiang Jinhuan smiled; his appointment as project leader this time was beyond his expectations.

He and the Song family agreed on a three-month timeframe.

He hoped that the Song family would take the initiative to break off the engagement within these three months.

Of course, just in case, he couldn't perform any meritorious service.

Now that he has Lin Yuan, someone who sees him as a thorn in his side, it might not be a bad thing for him! It all depends on how he uses him!

Thinking of this, he felt much more at ease. He would rather die than become a live-in son-in-law, because he would be letting his grandmother down.

Meanwhile, in the CEO's office.

Song Qingci sat in front of the computer, looking at a document sent by her assistant.

The document contained Jiang Jinhuan's detailed information—his transcripts from elementary school to university, all his awards, all his work-study experiences, and even a detailed description of his living situation in the Jiang family home.

Song Qingci turned the pages one by one, her gaze becoming increasingly focused.

"I received a total of 120,000 yuan in scholarships over three years of university, all of which was used to pay for tuition and living expenses. I did not ask my family for a single penny."

"Published two papers in core journals during my junior year, both as the first author."

"A recipient of the National Scholarship for three consecutive years—the fifth student in Jiangcheng University's history to achieve this feat!"

Song Qingci raised an eyebrow slightly: "Heh, he's even more outstanding than I thought!"

She picked up her phone and sent a message to her assistant.

"Continue the investigation." She leaned back in her chair after hanging up the phone.

"Jiang Jin Huan..." she murmured the name, "What kind of person are you, really?"

She looked at her phone; there was no friend request verification information on it.

So many days have passed, and the other party really hasn't contacted her at all.

Song Qingci gritted his teeth.

Just then, the assistant came over and said, "President, Jiang Jinhuan proposed a very bold idea to the marketing department today."

Team Leader Shen greatly admired him and made him the project leader for this project!

Song Qingci looked up at her assistant.

She never expected that Jiang Jinhuan was actually an employee of her company, or even an intern.

She was quite surprised when she first heard the news.

No wonder he proposed a three-month probationary period.

It turns out he knew he was working for the Song family's company; he had handed over all the initiative to her.

If he is unwilling, he will never be qualified.

This discovery surprised Song Qingci, but also left her somewhat frustrated.

This only confirms that Jiang Jin Huan has no intention of participating in this marriage alliance.

His actions seem more like giving the Song family a way out, a way for them to openly and legitimately reject the marriage proposal.

Song Qingci should have been happy, but why did she feel a little sour in her heart?

The assistant placed a detailed report in front of Song Qingci.

Song Qingci flipped through the report, a slight smile appearing on her lips. "Hmph, at least you've put in the effort. Looks like you're not entirely indifferent after all!"

The assistant was puzzled, not knowing what his boss was talking about.

Song Qingci's mood suddenly improved.

Just then, her phone rang. "Xiaoya?"

……

At this moment, Wang Shihhan, Ji Xiaoya, and several other girls were gathered together in a private room of a bar.

Wang Shihhan exclaimed in surprise, "What? Jiang Jinhuan is the same Jiang Jinhuan from the Jiang family? How is that possible?"

Ji Xiaoya then said, "I didn't believe it either, but that's how it turned out!"

"But how did the young master of the Jiang family end up having to work part-time to support himself during his studies..."

Ji Xiaoya sighed deeply: "That's because he's not valued in the Jiang family. Qingci said that he was actually abandoned by the Jiang family, a discarded pawn, you know? He lived in the storage room in the Jiang family..."

Then Ji Xiaoya told all the information she had learned from Song Qingci.

The girls nearby gasped in shock as they listened to Ji Xiaoya's description.

"My God, how can she be so heartless to her own son? Has she really shown such favoritism?"

"Exactly! They won't even pay tuition! That's just too much!"

"It's not just tuition fees; there's no money even for living expenses like clothes. They're practically not allowed to eat in restaurants—it's unbelievable!"
