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

The living room fell silent again.

Yao Jing turned her head to look at Jiang Jinhuan, her languid expression returning, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Scared?"

Jiang Jinhuan shook his head, his tone calm: "No."

Yao Jing looked at him, as if she found him interesting, or perhaps she was testing him. Her gaze lingered on his face for several seconds before she stood up and walked towards the stairs.

"It's getting late, you can stay here for now."

The room is the third one from the left on the first floor. The Zhou family will be here to talk tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.

She reached the top of the stairs, glanced back at him, and said, "Don't disappoint me!"

Jiang Jinhuan nodded.

She went upstairs, her hips swaying unconsciously, round and full, incredibly alluring!

Jiang Jinhuan quickly looked away; he still didn't know what the relationship was between Sister Yao and Uncle Kun.

If you anger the other party, then you deserve to die!

He turned to Liangzi and Ergou, who were watching over him, and asked, "Are you sure it's okay for me to stay here?"

Liangzi said, "Since Sister Yao has spoken, then there's no problem!"

Er Gou said, "But you'd better be careful, or you'll die without even knowing how you died!"

We were also very curious, how could Sister Yao allow you to stay here!

Jiang Jinhuan raised an eyebrow: "I think we should move out and live in the storage room!"

……

Meanwhile, far away in Jiangcheng, Jiang Zhe was sitting in Uncle Tai's office.

He stood in front of Uncle Tai's desk, his attitude respectful.

On the table was a newly compiled account book, with every entry clearly marked.

Uncle Tai looked at it through his reading glasses, glanced up at him, and his tone was much gentler than before.

"Hehe, well done!"

Jiang Zhe smiled and said, "Of course I'll do my best to fulfill the tasks assigned by my godfather!"

He had barely slept these past few days, reorganizing several messy accounts that Uncle Tai had in his hands.

Apply the smudges where needed, smooth out the areas that needed smoothing, and do it cleanly and neatly.

Of course, the only method he could think of was the simple and crude kind.

After he finished his work, he also had a few more lives on his hands!

Uncle Tai narrowed his eyes and chuckled as he looked at Jiang Zhe.

He originally only intended for Jiang Zhe to do odd jobs, but after seeing his accounts, he felt that the other party was still usable.

After all, he had a bunch of people whose brains were only focused on muscles and yellow fuel.

There aren't many people like Jiang Zhe who have received formal education.

Although Jiang Zhe is far inferior to Jiang Jin Huan, he is stronger than others!

"You're more useful than I thought!" Uncle Tai put down the account book, leaned back in his chair, and said, "Starting tomorrow, you'll be in charge of the accounts for those establishments in the west of the city!"

Jiang Zhe's eyes lit up with surprise, and he quickly agreed!

"Okay, go out if you have nothing else to do!"

When Jiang Zhe walked out of the office, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a coldness and sarcasm.

He stood at the end of the corridor, looking at the night view outside the window, and slowly smiled.

Port City

The next morning at nine o'clock, the Zhou Group's people arrived at the hillside villa on time.

There were six people who arrived. The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit. His hair was neatly combed, and his eyes held a seasoned business sense when he looked at people.

Sister Yao, who was standing next to him, introduced him as follows: "His name is Zhou Bingkun. He is the vice president of Zhou's Group and the main person in charge of this negotiation."

What you've done this time is to persuade him to both protect our interests and establish a long-term partnership with the Zhou family!

Jiang Jinhuan nodded; Uncle Tai's men were involved in organized crime.

Uncle Tai's trip to Hong Kong this time is clearly an attempt to clear his name.

However, clearing one's name requires strength, and cooperating with such a powerful family is the most cost-effective way!

In Jiangcheng, it's impossible for Uncle Tai to clear his name, since the Qin family and Uncle Tai are at odds and won't let Uncle Tai grow too powerful.

They won't give up the market either!

That's why Uncle Tai turned his attention to Hong Kong.

It has to be said that if it succeeds, it could really open up a loophole for Uncle Tai, allowing him to gradually launder his assets in Hong Kong!

This was also a way out that Uncle Tai left for himself. He really is a cunning old fox!

Jiang Jinhuan sighed inwardly and unconsciously looked at Uncle Tai with newfound respect!

Uncle Tai has quite a bit of courage to make this decision!

The two took their seats in the living room.

Yao Jing sat in the main seat, relaxed, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and smiled at Zhou Bingkun opposite her: "Mr. Zhou, you look great today."

Zhou Bingkun smiled and said, "Sister Yao, you're too kind. I received a notification yesterday that your side has changed its negotiating representative?"

Yao Jing said, "Didn't you say before that those people were unprofessional, and we didn't want to waste President Zhou's time?"

Mr. Zhou wasn't too embarrassed: "Sister Yao, you saw it yourself back then. Those people who were negotiating couldn't even understand the basic documents."

And what about that Tai Shu's adopted son? Is he here to be a joke?

He speaks in a sarcastic and unhelpful manner, refuses to answer any professional questions, yet thinks he's incredibly knowledgeable.

How can we feel comfortable cooperating with someone like this? How can we entrust our projects to you with peace of mind?

Sister Yao smiled and said, "So, I fired him and specially changed his major! This one graduated from a prestigious university!"

"Domestic?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, at least they're not like some people who use studying abroad as a pretext but are actually a bunch of idiots. Even the worst students from top domestic universities can understand the basic stuff!"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Jiang Jinhuan, who was standing next to Yao Jing.

He looked him up and down a few times, his eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

The young man looked too young. He had a calm expression and a peaceful gaze. He had a few faint bruises on his body, but he sat upright, unlike a novice who had just started out.

"This is Mr. Chen Heng," Yao Jing introduced.

Zhou Bingkun nodded slightly: "Mr. Chen is young and promising!"

Jiang Jinhuan ignored the polite remark and directly opened the document in front of him, his tone calm and direct: "President Zhou, I've reviewed the terms you offered yesterday: a 10% revenue share, a three-month payment period, and a 60% down payment—we're not satisfied with any of these."

Zhou Bingkun paused slightly in the hand holding the teacup.

She looked up at Jiang Jinhuan with some surprise, her eyes showing dissatisfaction!

He hadn't expected the other party to be so direct from the start.

Jiang Jin Huan seemed oblivious to the other party's unusual behavior.

He presented a new proposal to Zhou Bingkun: "Our requirements are very clear: a 15% revenue share, a 45-day payment period, and a 30% down payment."

The condition is that we will give priority to all similar orders from you over the next three years.

Zhou Bingkun put down his teacup, looked at the proposal in front of him, but didn't reach for it. Instead, he leaned back in his chair, smiled, and said indifferently, "Mr. Chen, I'm afraid I can't agree to your terms. Fifteen percent exceeds our profit margin."

Hearing Jiang Jinhuan's words, Sister Yao's smile vanished, her eyes turned cold, and she revealed a look of disappointment.

This approach of demanding profit from the outset is even worse than that of inexperienced students.

He's not even as good as that Jiang Zhe!

Is this a business negotiation? It's utter nonsense!

"Looks like I overestimated you. Did Uncle Tai misjudge you too?"
