He Jianping was escorted home by Zhao Hailong and He Lingling, one on each side.

He Jianping continued rambling incoherently, muttering, "Brothers, one goes, one gets punished..."

When his wife, Chen Xiulan, opened the door, she saw her husband drunk and looking like a dazed mess. She was furious: "You drunkard! You've drunk so much again! He Jianping, you might as well live in a wine vat! Don't come back drinking again!"

"Sister-in-law... Sister-in-law, Lao He was in a good mood today and drank a couple more cups. Please don't be angry." Zhao Hailong quickly smiled apologetically and helped He Jianping to the bedroom bed.

He Lingling helped her sister-in-law take off her brother's shoes, cover him with a quilt, and tidy up his things.

Chen Xiulan was both angry and heartbroken to see He Jianping looking like a dead pig, so she went to the kitchen to make a hangover soup.

He Lingling and Zhao Hailong said goodbye to Chen Xiulan and then left.

He Jianping woke up thirsty at three in the morning.

He sobered up considerably, opened his sleepy eyes, his head throbbing as if he'd been hammered all night, his throat parched and burning. He was so thirsty, he wanted water.

"Xiulan, water... I'm thirsty, please get me a glass of water..."

He Jianping called out several times, but Chen Xiulan was already fast asleep and didn't bother to pay attention to this drunkard.

Seeing that his wife was ignoring him, He Jianping simply got up and went to get some water. He walked to the living room in the dark, filled a glass with cold water from the water dispenser, and gulped it down.

After drinking the water, He Jianping felt much more awake and energetic, so he simply sat on the sofa to relax. He habitually took out his phone to browse his WeChat Moments.

He received quite a few WeChat messages, mostly casual chats in work groups, and a few invitations to drink from close friends. These were things He Jianping didn't pay much attention to.

Seeing that there was nothing important, He Jianping vaguely opened his photo album, thinking of finding a picture to post on his WeChat Moments at midnight, along with a picture of the midnight moon, so that his boss might think he was working overtime.

As he flipped through the photos, his finger stopped on one of them. He stared at it for several minutes, growing to like it more and more with each look.

The photo was taken by Zhao Hailong yesterday when Ye Chen and He Lingling were saying goodbye at the restaurant entrance.

In the photo, Ye Chen is wearing a dark blue suit and standing straight. He Lingling is standing opposite him, looking up at him with a smile on her lips.

The angle of the photo was well chosen, and the effect was excellent. At first glance, they really do look like a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

He Jianping squinted his drunken eyes and stared at the photo for a long time, when a thought suddenly popped into his head.

These two look so well-matched standing together; they're practically a match made in heaven.

My sister is beautiful, gentle, and well-educated. What makes her unworthy of Ye Chen?

Ye Chen said he has a fiancée, but who knows if it's true or not? That kid never knows which of his statements are true and which are false.

Even if it were true, these days arranged marriages are nothing. People can get divorced after marriage, let alone a fiancée who has never even shown her face.

He Jianping thought about it more and more and felt that this matter had a chance. As an older brother, what should he do for his younger sister?

He Jianping is a man who loves to play matchmaker, especially since he's had quite a bit to drink today. Besides, Ye Chen is indeed a promising young man and would definitely be the ideal brother-in-law.

Chen Xiulan was sleeping soundly in the bedroom, and no one was paying attention to her. He Jianping got carried away and his fingers went out of control, and he started doing it.

He opened his WeChat Moments, selected the photo, and added a beautiful caption: "Family dinner tonight. A photo of my sister and brother-in-law. They're a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"

After posting on his WeChat Moments, He Jianping tossed his phone onto the coffee table, fell asleep immediately, and began snoring loudly.

What He Jianping didn't know was that less than ten minutes after this post on WeChat Moments was published, it exploded like a bomb in the Jiang Group's work group.

At 3:30 a.m., most people are asleep, but there are always a few night owls who are still awake.

The first person to discover this post on WeChat Moments was Lin Keke from the administration department.

Lin Keke worked overtime tonight. She had just finished showering and was lying in bed scrolling through her phone when she came across He Jianping's WeChat Moments.

She stared at the photo for a full thirty seconds, then suddenly sat up in bed, her eyes wide open like saucers.

"He Lingling? Ye Chen? My sister's brother-in-law?"

She rubbed her eyes, looked at it again to make sure she wasn't mistaken, then took a screenshot and sent it to the administration department's small group chat.

The administration department's small group chat exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! Isn't that Deputy Minister Ye from the Security Department? Is he with Minister He's sister?"

"I know He Lingling. She's an intern at our company, I think she's still a senior in college. She's quite pretty. How did she become Minister Ye's girlfriend?"

"What girlfriend? Minister He was talking about brother-in-law. What does 'brother-in-law' mean? Does it mean they're already in a committed relationship?"

"My God, no wonder Minister Ye said he was engaged; it turns out he was engaged to Minister He's sister?"

"That can't be right, how old is He Lingling? She hasn't even graduated from university yet, how can she already be engaged?"

"These days, it's okay to get married in college, so what's wrong with arranging a marriage between children?"

"Coco, didn't you try to flirt with Minister Ye last time? How did it go? How did it feel?"

Lin Keke stared at the messages in the group chat, her expression complex. After a long while, she replied in the group chat: "Congratulations, Minister Ye. He Lingling is indeed a good girl. They are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

Despite saying that, she felt inexplicably choked up inside.

Last time in the meeting room, she was so proactive, but Ye Chen was unmoved. So she's already taken?

But then I thought about it again, and it didn't seem so hard to accept that I lost to He Lingling.

She had met He Lingling before. She was beautiful, had a good personality, and most importantly, was young, only in her early twenties, which was the best age for her.

Oh well, let's just wish them well.

Lin Keke has let it go, but the others don't think so.

The HR department's group chat exploded.

"Shocking gossip! Minister He posted on his WeChat Moments that Vice Minister Ye is his brother-in-law! There are pictures to prove it!"

"Holy crap! Really? Vice Minister Ye and Minister He's sister are together?"

"I've met Minister He's sister before. She came to the company last time to complete her onboarding procedures. She's really beautiful and has a great figure. Vice Minister Ye is so lucky!"

"No wonder Minister He treats Vice Minister Ye so well, serving him goji berries and ginseng tea every day; it turns out he's his own brother-in-law!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, we'd better be even more polite to Vice Minister Ye in the future. He's not only a favorite of President Jiang, but also one of Minister He's family. We can't afford to offend him! We absolutely mustn't!"

"Speaking of which, He Lingling and Vice Minister Ye are indeed a good match. One is young and promising, and the other is beautiful and gentle. It's like an idol drama."
