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

Jiang Zhe's face turned pale and then flushed.

He opened his mouth to refute, but found himself unable to utter any compelling words.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and asked Luo Qingyi, "Any other opinions?"

To everyone's surprise, Luo Qingyi nodded: "Yes!"

Jiang Zhe almost lost control of his expression.

Luo Qingyi flipped through a few more pages and displayed another section on the projection screen: "The supplier selection criteria also need to be adjusted."

The principle of awarding the contract to the lowest bidder is not very applicable in Phase II.

Phase II involves a large amount of after-sales service, so the supplier's service capabilities and technical expertise are more important than price.

If you only look at the price, the cost of later maintenance will increase exponentially.

This time, before Jiang Zhe could speak, the purchasing department manager took the initiative to say, "I agree with Assistant Luo's opinion."

We've contacted this supplier before; their quotes are indeed low, but their service capabilities and technical expertise have only a so-so reputation in the industry.

If we actually choose them, there might be problems later on.

Jiang Zhe was so angry that he trembled all over.

Luo Qingyi didn't stop there. She continued, "The timing is also problematic. The acceptance process is all placed at the end, and there are no interim reviews. The risk is too great."

"And this, the promises made to the clients are too generous. If they can't be fulfilled, it will affect future cooperation."

……

"The risk assessment section here is too general; many potential risks are not mentioned."

……

One opinion after another poured out like a tide.

Jiang Zhe's proud plan had by now been completely distorted.

Jiang Zhe sat in the main seat, his fingers gripping the pen, his knuckles turning white.

His gaze swept over everyone present, as if searching for who was leading the opposition against him.

Finally, his gaze fell on Luo Qingyi.

She was looking down at something on a document and wasn't looking at him.

Jiang Zhe withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and squeezed out his voice through clenched teeth: "Since everyone has different opinions, let's revise the plan again. Meeting adjourned."

One by one, everyone stood up and left the meeting room. But as they walked out, murmurs arose in the hallway—

"The issues Assistant Luo raised are actually very basic. If you can't even figure out the budget allocation for a project proposal, what kind of project are you going to do?"

"Lowest bidder wins? That approach is outdated. Who only looks at price these days?"

"I think Manager Jiang didn't take this plan seriously at all; many of the problems are common-sense errors."

"I think it's not that they didn't try, it's that they didn't know how to do it."

He spoke the last sentence softly, but everyone around him heard it.

The room fell silent for a moment; no one objected, because it was the truth.

Meanwhile, in Jiang Zhe's office.

The door was closed, and Jiang Zhe sat at his desk, the computer screen in front of him displaying a proposal that was heavily annotated.

Luo Qingyi's red pen annotations were densely packed, as if mocking his incompetence.

He stared at the annotations, his fingers gripping the mouse so tightly his knuckles turned white.

"Who do you think you are?" he said in a low voice, his eyes as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

Luo Qingyi knocked on the door and came in.

"Manager Jiang, this is the revised plan based on everyone's feedback. Please take a look."

Jiang Zhe took the document and flipped through two pages.

Never mind, I don't understand.

Jiang Zhe suppressed his anger and said, "Assistant Luo, since you work under me, I hope you understand one thing."

I am your superior. Any suggestions you make should first go through me, not be brought up directly in the meeting.

Luo Qingyi looked into his eyes, her expression unchanged: "Manager Jiang, you seem to have forgotten that we raised different opinions."

You should have held an internal review before the meeting, but you didn't. You said you'd discuss things at the meeting.

Jiang Zhe was speechless.

According to procedure, he should have organized an internal review before the meeting.

But he didn't do it. He felt his plan was perfect and wanted to enjoy the admiring looks from others as soon as possible.

But reality slapped him hard in the face.

He's become a clown now.

Jiang Zhe's voice was low and deep. "I understand. You can go out now."

Luo Qingyi turned and walked out, clean and neat, as if she felt disgusted if she looked at Jiang Zhe even once more!

The moment the door closed, Jiang Zhe slammed his fist on the table, causing the documents to shake and the water in his cup to slosh around, spilling a few drops onto the surface.

He picked up his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

"Hey, help me investigate something. Find out who Luo Qingyi has been in contact with recently?"

"Young Master Zhe, you suspect..."

Jiang Zhe's eyes were cold. "Just investigate when I tell you to. Stop with the nonsense!"

The person on the other end of the phone hung up and gave a cold laugh.

Someone walked over and asked, "Boss, what do we do?"

"Heh, let's just play along. He's a good-for-nothing. If the Jiang family falls into his hands, the Jiang family is finished. Assistant Luo is the one with real talent. I'd be crazy to target Assistant Luo!"

They're not thugs; they're also part of the Jiang family. They'll listen to whoever lets them make money.

As for Jiang Zhe, ever since Jiang Jin Huan retaliated against them for targeting him, they have seen through his true colors and realized that he is not worth following.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhe leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the ceiling.

His eyes turned ferocious: "Luo Qingyi, I'll make you beg for mercy beneath me sooner or later!"

Thinking of this, he dialed the phone: "Dad, will Assistant Luo be attending the banquet tonight?"

Jiang Guodong said, "I've already informed Assistant Luo, and she agreed!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhe clenched his fists tightly: "Great, that's really wonderful!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhe's eyes gleamed with a lewd light: "Luo Qingyi, I originally wanted to properly connect with you and build our relationship, but now I'm not going to wait any longer. Tonight, I want you to be my woman!"

Meanwhile, in Director Wang's office.

Luo Qingyi walked in, accompanied by Wang Shihhan.

Director Wang looked at Luo Qingyi with some surprise as she entered and said, "Assistant Luo? You're a rare guest! Please have a seat, let me make you some tea!"

Director Wang was very polite.

Luo Qingyi said, "Director Wang, you're too kind!"

Director Wang said, "Not at all, I really admire Assistant Luo's abilities. To be honest, without Assistant Luo, our Jiang Group wouldn't have developed so smoothly in recent years!"

Watching her father fawn over her, Wang Shih-han said, "Dad, I want some tea too!"

Director Wang said, "Go and make it yourself!"

Wang Shihhan pouted her little mouth, looking rather cute.

At this moment, Director Wang looked at Luo Qingyi and asked, "Assistant Luo, is there something you need today?"

He looked at Luo Qingyi with a solemn expression.

Luo Qingyi was on Jiang Guodong's side, and he didn't think that Luo Qingyi's visit was to curry favor with him.

This woman is first-rate in both character and methods; she is a rare talent.

There must be a reason why someone came to me today.

He could look down on Jiang Zhe, but he had to take Luo Qingyi seriously.
