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

The Song family soon learned of the news.

Jiang Jinhuan's outburst in the Jiang family meeting room could not be kept secret; the matter was too big, and too many people were involved.

Song Qingci looked at the investigation report with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"The Jiang family, how dare they treat my future husband like this!" Song Qingci sneered twice.

She made a phone call: "The cooperation with the Jiang family is being shortened to two years. After two years, all cooperation with the Jiang family will be terminated!"

The person on the other end of the phone was somewhat shocked: "Two years? Okay, I understand!"

After hanging up the phone, the person murmured, "How did the Jiang family offend the CEO? Weren't they supposed to be a long-term partner? Could it be that the marriage proposal fell through?"

Thinking about this, the man felt he had found the answer.

"That's true. I heard that the second young master of the Jiang family is a discarded pawn. How can a discarded pawn be worthy of a proud daughter like the CEO?"

……

Jiang Family Villa.

Jiang Zhe stood in the study, facing Jiang Guodong.

The air between the father and son was so heavy it felt like it had solidified.

Do you know how much embarrassment you made in the meeting room today?

Jiang Guodong's voice trembled with anger, "To have my shortcomings exposed by my own brother in front of all the shareholders, where am I, as his father, supposed to put my face?"

Jiang Zhe lowered his head and remained silent.

His fingers clenched tightly behind his back, his nails digging into his palms.

"And that guy surnamed Wang, did you hear what he said? He was slapping me in the face!"

Jiang Guodong paced back and forth in the study, getting angrier as he spoke: "I'm telling you, from now on, you're not allowed to target your brother anymore."

No matter what conflicts you have, you are not allowed to use company resources anymore, and you are absolutely not allowed to do anything shady behind the scenes, do you understand?

Jiang Zhe gritted his teeth: "I heard you!"

Jiang Guodong said, "Do you know how much we have to pay to suppress this? Luckily, your brother still considered our relationship and didn't pursue it further, otherwise you would be going to jail!"

Jiang Zhe stiffened upon hearing this, but his eyes showed not lingering fear, but resentment and malice.

"This bastard dared to resist, he deserves to die!" Jiang Zhe said in a low, ferocious voice.

Jiang Guodong said, "He really went too far this time. Since you've kicked him out, then let him go. He has nothing to do with us anymore."

Anyway, the cooperation with the Song family has already begun, and he doesn't care about the possibility of a marriage alliance now, as long as he gets the benefits.

"Also, do a good job on the project in the south of the city. I will continue to have Assistant Luo help you. You need to achieve results and shut those people up. Then I will naturally put you back in the position of general manager. If you still don't do well—"

Jiang Guodong stopped and stared at him. "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

As the president, how could he not see what Director Wang could see?

Jiang Jinhuan's actions this time have almost completely destroyed Jiang Zhe's already unstable foundation.

Even if he becomes the CEO in the future, his subordinates will still be dissatisfied with him.

This is a big no-no.

Without a solid foundation, he cannot go far.

Therefore, Jiang Zhe must successfully exceed the target for the Chengnan project to demonstrate his abilities; only in this way can he have a chance to regain his footing.

Jiang Zhe raised his head, met his father's gaze, and nodded.

Jiang Zhe looked puzzled. "I understand, Dad."

Jiang Guodong waved his hand wearily: "Go out."

After all, he was his beloved son, and he couldn't bear to scold him too much.

After Jiang Zhe left, Jiang's mother went into the study.

She said with some dissatisfaction, "That Jin Huan is really something. Couldn't he have just talked to us about this privately? Why did he have to make a scene at the company?"

Jiang Guodong remained silent.

At first, he was annoyed, but now that he thinks about it, he has to admit that Jiang Jinhuan's timing this time was very precise.

With a sigh, Jiang Guodong said, "He deliberately made a big fuss about it!"

Jiang's mother snorted coldly: "I'll teach him a lesson when he gets back. We've already arranged such a good marriage for him, and instead of being grateful, he comes here to ruin Xiao Zhe's plans!"

She seemed to have forgotten that it was Jiang Zhe who first tried to harm Jiang Jinhuan; he was even so vicious as to want Jiang Jinhuan to be crippled for life.

However, Jiang's mother never treated Jiang Jinhuan as her son.

Because of Jiang Jin Huan's grandmother, she felt some dislike for Jiang Jin Huan.

Even now, she is still criticizing Jiang Jinhuan.

Jiang Zhe walked out of the study and gently closed the door.

The moment the door closed, the submissiveness and guilt on his face vanished instantly, replaced by an almost twisted resentment.

He returned to his room, closed the door, and took out his phone.

He found a number and dialed it.

"Keep an eye on Jiang Jinhuan." His voice was so low it sounded like it was being squeezed out between his teeth. "I need to know his every move."

"Young Master Zhe, what about your father...?"

"My father is my father, and I am me." Jiang Zhe's eyes were cold. "Just do it, and I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

He hung up the phone, threw it on the bed, walked to the window, and looked at the night view outside.

"Jiang Jinhuan," he said in a low voice, "you think you've won today? No, this is just the beginning."

"I'll show you who the real master of the Jiang family is."

On the other end of the phone, the person curled their lip, "Does he really think he's the boss? It's uncertain whether he can even hold onto his position as general manager, so what's with the attitude?"

Someone nearby said, "Should we continue keeping an eye on Jiang Jinhuan? Should we tell him that he's living with Assistant Luo?"

"Don't tell him a damn thing. I actually think Jiang Jinhuan is better than Jiang Zhe. I have a feeling that in the future, the real leader of the Jiang family might not be Jiang Zhe. We can't afford to offend Jiang Jinhuan too much, understand?"

"The boss is brilliant!"

"Of course, I'm not that idiot Jiang Zhe who ruined a perfectly good hand!"

……

The next day, at Xingyao Group, in the marketing department.

After the department meeting in the morning, Director Wang called Shen Qinghan to his office.

"Qinghan, there's something I want to discuss with you." Director Wang closed the door and gestured for her to sit down.

Shen Qinghan sat down and looked at him.

"Regarding the personnel configuration of your group, I have considered it and think it would be appropriate to add a deputy group leader."

Director Wang cut to the chase, "Jiang Jinhuan has been performing well lately, and I'm considering nominating him as deputy team leader. What do you think?"

After Director Wang finished speaking, he couldn't help but recall Shen Qinghan's instructions.

He was shocked; he hadn't expected the CEO to care so much about a newcomer.

Fortunately, this newcomer is quite capable, and he didn't feel pressured to make this suggestion.

He must handle this matter well, and do it beautifully!

Shen Qinghan's brows twitched slightly.

She paused for a few seconds before speaking: "His abilities are certainly not a problem, but he's too inexperienced. He's been with the company for less than a month, and he's been promoted directly to deputy team leader. Other employees might have something to say about that."

Director Wang was stunned; he hadn't expected Shen Qinghan to refuse.

As far as he knew, Shen Qinghan valued Jiang Jinhuan highly.

Director Wang smiled and said, "I know, that's why I'm asking for your opinion first. Do you think he can win people over?"
