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

The air in the conference room froze for a few seconds.

President Chen's gaze shifted from scrutiny to suspicion; he looked at Jiang Zhe as if he were looking at someone mentally challenged.

Luo Qingyi spoke up at the right moment: "President Chen, we have already conducted preliminary research on the power capacity expansion."

The power company's initial response is that the capacity expansion project will take approximately four months and cost between three and four million. We will submit a detailed plan to you next week.

President Chen looked at Luo Qingyi, his gaze lingering on her for two seconds, then nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for your proposal."

He paused, then added, "Assistant Luo, you know much more about this than your Manager Jiang."

This statement was made neither too lightly nor too heavily, but everyone could hear the weight it carried.

Jiang Zhe's expression changed.

His fingers clenched tightly under the table, his nails digging into his palms. A stiff smile hung on his face.

Whether they were from the Jiang family or the clients, everyone looked at Jiang Zhe with a hint of confusion and surprise.

They were very curious about how someone like that could become a general manager.

After the meeting, General Manager Chen stood up and shook hands with Jiang Zhe.

His hands were strong, but his eyes were cold. "Manager Jiang, we need to reconsider the cooperation. Please refine the plan first, and we will contact you again if there is any progress."

Jiang Zhe shook President Chen's hand, his smile somewhat forced: "Okay, President Chen, we'll do it as soon as possible."

President Chen released his grip, glanced at Luo Qingyi, nodded, and then led his team out of the conference room.

The conference room door closed, leaving only the Jiang Group members.

Jiang Zhe sat down in the chair, his smile completely gone.

Shouldn't this project in the south of the city be going very smoothly?

I remember in my previous life, Jiang Jinhuan seemed to handle the South City project with ease, and he never showed off. It was as if he had done something insignificant.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Jinhuan and Luo Qingyi slept together because of this project, he wouldn't even know about it.

But what's going on now? Why has this project become so difficult for me? They didn't even agree on the spot.

"What do they mean?" Jiang Zhe said in a low voice, his tone filled with suppressed anger. "They want to reconsider the plan? Weren't we almost at the end of the negotiations?"

Luo Qingyi closed her laptop, looked at him, and remained silent for two seconds: "Manager Jiang, your performance in today's meeting was not ideal."

Mr. Chen's doubts about our capabilities are a normal reaction.

Luo Qingyi looked at Jiang Jinhuan as if he were a lump of mud that could not be propped up.

Jiang Zhe looked up, a hint of annoyance in his eyes: "My performance wasn't ideal? Where was it unsatisfactory? Was anything I said wrong?"

Luo Qingyi's tone was cold, "You couldn't even respond to the most basic knowledge of cooperation during the meeting. You didn't answer a single question that President Chen asked you."

Luo Qingyi said calmly, "If I were President Chen, I would also reconsider the cooperation."

She shouldn't have said that, but she was genuinely angry this time.

She had clearly organized these documents and placed them in front of him, but now it seems he hadn't even looked at them.

That was extra work of his own, the culmination of Jin Huan's hard work. Such an excellent plan was wasted by him. The other party was simply a hopeless case.

If Jiang Jinhuan had been the one to negotiate with President Chen this time, the contract would probably have been signed by now.

They're both from the Jiang family, and even brothers, so why is there such a big difference between them?

Jiang Zhe's face turned pale and then flushed.

He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found himself unable to say anything.

He stood up, walked to the window, and turned his back to Luo Qingyi.

Outside the window was the city skyline, with towering buildings everywhere, but his mind was a mess.

"Do you think this project can continue?" he asked in a low voice.

Luo Qingyi paused for a few seconds: "The project itself is not the problem. The problem lies in the client's trust in us. If we can come up with a convincing solution, there is still room for recovery."

"Then let's do it." Jiang Zhe turned around and looked at her. "You do it. If you need any support, just tell me and I'll cooperate fully."

Luo Qingyi glanced at him, wanting to say, "It would be best if you did nothing at all!"

Soon it was time to leave work, and Luo Qingyi left with the documents in her arms.

This time, Jiang Zhe didn't dare to stop her.

He didn't want to see Luo Qingyi looking at him like he was a fool.

Luo Qingyi returned home and lay down on the sofa, looking exhausted and completely unrefined.

Even though Jiang Jinhuan was sitting next to him.

In his presence, she seemed to be able to show her tired side without any reservations.

Jiang Jinhuan looked at Luo Qingyi with some surprise.

She was lying on the sofa with her legs stretched out, and they actually clamped his legs between them.

But she didn't loosen her grip; instead, she swayed slightly.

Looking at the exposed thighs in front of him, Jiang Jinhuan blushed slightly and looked away with difficulty.

"What happened?"

Luo Qingyi recounted what had happened that day.

Jiang Jin Huan was somewhat taken aback; he couldn't believe Jiang Zhe would be so foolish.

But Luo Qingyi had no reason to lie.

Jiang Jinhuan shook his head and said, "What we need to do now is figure out how to recover the losses. Let's review every aspect of the project, be more meticulous, and show the client our sincerity. There's still hope for this project!"

Jiang Jinhuan and Luo Qingyi began to re-examine every aspect of the project, from land planning to power supply, from supply chain management to post-operation, checking every detail repeatedly.

Finally, a week later, Luo Qingyi took the project proposal and went to see General Manager Chen again.

The feedback from General Manager Chen was, "The plan is excellent, but a plan is just a plan; the execution needs to be strengthened."

This statement expresses distrust of the Jiang family, especially Jiang Zhe.

After all, his performance last time was nothing short of disastrous.

However, Jiang Zhe was very proud after receiving the news and wanted everyone to know about it.

Some people rushed over to congratulate him, and even Jiang Guodong praised Jiang Zhe a couple of times.

He didn't know that the project was secured not because of Jiang Zhe, but because of Jiang Jinhuan.

The shareholders didn't say anything, after all, the matter wasn't progressing very smoothly and there was nothing to be proud of.

But seeing the Jiang father and son's expressions, they didn't pour cold water on the idea, after all, the company still belonged to the Jiang family!

On the day the contract was signed, General Manager Chen brought his team to Jiang's Group.

The meeting went smoothly, and both parties reached a consensus on the contract terms, with only the final signature remaining.

At noon, Jiang Zhe hosted a lunch for General Manager Chen and his entourage at a five-star hotel near the company.

The private room was large and the dishes were plentiful. Jiang Zhe sat in the main seat, President Chen sat to his right, and Luo Qingyi sat next to President Chen.

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere was fairly harmonious. Jiang Zhe drank a few glasses of wine, and his smile became more and more relaxed, and he talked more and more.

"President Chen, let me tell you, this project in the south of the city is something only the Jiang family can handle. Any other company could never achieve this level of quality."

Jiang Zhe held his wine glass, his tone carrying a sense of self-satisfaction and smugness.

Mr. Chen smiled dismissively and didn't reply.
