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

Mrs. Song frowned and said, "Could it be that he felt he was not good enough for our daughter and gave up on his own?"

Mr. Song sighed and said, "Actually, I have high hopes for him. Regardless of his background, among the younger generation, in terms of knowledge and character, there is no one who can surpass him!"

Song's mother asked in surprise, "You speak very highly of him, but why would that couple from the Jiang family treat such an outstanding person like that?"

Mr. Song shook his head: "I find this hard to understand either. Qingci, didn't you say you investigated him?"

Song Qingci nodded: "That's the investigation report I was just looking at!"

Intrigued, Song's mother leaned closer and asked, "How did the investigation go? Is that child any good?"

Song Qingci put down his teacup and briefly recounted the contents of the investigation report, as well as his performance at Xingyao.

After listening, Mr. Song remained silent for a few seconds, then slowly nodded.

"To be able to get into Jiangcheng University under those circumstances, receive the national scholarship for three consecutive years, and publish papers in core journals... this child is extraordinary."

Song's mother reacted more directly, her eyes reddening: "It's so pitiful. She was wronged by her own brother, and after the investigation, they didn't even apologize. The Jiang couple are too cruel. They are all their own children, how can they be so biased? How did this child survive?"

Mr. Song said, "I felt at the time that the Jiang couple were a bit harsh on this child. It turns out they've never cared about him. If it weren't for their desire to establish a connection with us, they probably wouldn't have bothered letting that child appear in front of us!"

Song Qingci didn't speak, but her fingers tightened slightly.

Mr. Song looked at his daughter, his gaze serious: "Qingci, what is your attitude towards this marriage alliance?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingci's eyes suddenly became somewhat flustered, and for a moment she did not speak.

She picked up her teacup, took a sip to hide her panic, then looked up at Song Yuanshan and said, "Dad, I said before that I would agree once he becomes the team leader, but he's the one who made the condition."

"Three months. If he can't get the team leader position in three months, he's not good enough for me! And your daughter isn't worthless either!"

Upon hearing this, Song Yuanshan's lips curved slightly.

He glanced at his wife, and Lin Wanqing looked at him as well. The two exchanged a knowing look.

In the past, if Song Qingci was unwilling, she would refuse outright, leaving no room for negotiation.

Now she's actually making demands; that clearly means she's interested.

Song Yuanshan slowly began, "He has only been with the company for a few days, but he has already achieved results. This speed is much faster than I imagined."

Actually, based on his current abilities, he's capable of being a team leader, but he's only been with the company for a short time and his experience is too limited. They won't consider a newcomer for promotion!

Mother Song chimed in, "Why not just appoint them directly?"

Mr. Song said, "What kind of talk is this? The company has rules and regulations, but it's not like there's no room for maneuver!"

Song's mother rolled her eyes: "You're the one who likes to beat around the bush. Can't you just be direct?"

Song's mother then turned to her daughter, "Qingci, let me ask you something honestly: do you really have feelings for this child?"

Song Qingci's ear tips turned slightly red.

She lowered her eyes and remained silent for a few seconds.

"He's not bad," she finally said, her voice very soft.

Lin Wanqing and Song Yuanshan exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of a smile in each other's eyes.

They know their daughter too well.

My daughter has always been a person with extremely high standards. From childhood to adulthood, the number of people who have made her say "not bad" can be counted on one hand.

It seems that her daughter is quite satisfied with Jiang Jinhuan.

Mother Song said, "Good, as long as you're satisfied. Since this child is capable, you should promote him as soon as possible!"

Song Qingci was taken aback for a moment: "That won't do. I'm the CEO, and I must be fair and impartial. He needs to work hard to become a team leader. I won't give him special treatment!"

Mr. Song said, "Really? That's such a pity. He has the ability, but he's too inexperienced. Every employee at Xingyao is a prodigy. If he were promoted in the traditional way, it would take him at least six months. In that case, he wouldn't be able to meet his targets. What a shame!"

Upon hearing this, Song Qingci's expression instantly stiffened, and her eyes flickered.

She stubbornly replied, "That won't do either. I'm not saying anything more, I'm going upstairs to sleep!"

She got up and hurried up to the second floor.

Song's father chuckled twice as he watched Song Qingci's retreating figure, a meaningful sound emanating from him.

The next day, at Xingyao Group, in the president's office.

Song Qingci sat at his desk, a personnel transfer application form on the computer screen in front of him.

She read it several times, and finally at one point she picked up the internal phone on the table and dialed the number of the marketing director.

"Director Wang, how is the marketing department's staffing lately? Is there anything that needs to be adjusted?"

Director Wang said a few words on the other end of the line, and after listening, Song Qingci said, "I heard that the new intern in your department is doing quite well. Have you considered promoting him? For example... to team leader?"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, then Director Wang's voice carried a hint of surprise: "Is President Song referring to Jiang Jinhuan?"

He's only been with the company for less than a month; he's too inexperienced. Promoting him to team leader might cause resentment among other employees.

"I know he's relatively inexperienced," Song Qingci said calmly, but with an undeniable air of authority, "but ability is more important than seniority. I've reviewed his proposal, and it's truly excellent. Consider it; if it's suitable, you can submit a proposal."

Director Wang was silent for a few seconds: "Okay, I'll think about it."

After hanging up the phone, Song Qingci leaned back in her chair, a hint of shyness appearing in her beautiful eyes.

"I just think you're quite capable, I'm definitely not giving you preferential treatment!"

……

Jiang's Group conference room.

The Jiang Group held a departmental meeting.

Jiang Guodong also came.

The purpose was to support Jiang Zhe.

This time, he will personally appoint Jiang Zhe to be in charge of the Chengnan project.

Logically, this is the general manager's job, but Jiang Zhe has only recently taken office.

In addition, the recent meeting has raised some doubts about Jiang Zhe's abilities.

Therefore, he wanted to announce this personally to show his support for his son.

At the same time, we hope that this matter will have as much impact as possible.

The greater the impact, the higher Jiang Zhe's prestige will be once this matter is accomplished.

This will be more advantageous for Jiang to fully take control of the family in the future.

Therefore, most of Jiang's senior executives will be attending this time.

Jiang Zhe had already arrived at the venue, and Luo Qingyi was sitting behind him.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Luo Qingyi, Jiang Zhe felt a little distracted.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have already moved closer to Luo Qingyi.

However, Luo Qingyi's attitude towards him remained cold. He racked his brains for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Logically speaking, Luo Qingyi should still be single at this time.

Furthermore, in his previous life, he also learned that Luo Qingyi's family was urging him to get married as soon as possible.

He was, after all, a young master of the Jiang family, and he considered himself to be quite good-looking. Logically, he should have been Luo Qingyi's only choice.

But why is Luo Qingyi so cold to me?
