"Are you alright? Should I explain things to him later?"
Qin Hui walked out and stayed by Jin Yan'er's side. Qin Hui hadn't expected such a situation to arise during a meal.
"I'm fine. Let's get in the car."
Seeing Chen Ming walk out, Jin Yan'er immediately got into Qin Hui's car, as she no longer wanted to explain, knowing it would be futile.
Qin Hui nodded slightly and started the car after getting in.
Soon, the car sped away, disappearing from Chen Ming's sight.
"Hmph, Jin Yan'er, I never knew you were this kind of woman. I valued you so much before. Just you wait, I will definitely make you pay."
Chen Ming clenched his fists tightly as he watched the disappearing car. He had spent four years of university with Jin Yan'er, and he never expected her to change like this after graduation.
Qin Hui didn't drive directly to the company but headed towards a nearby park.
After they got out of the car, Jin Yan'er's emotions gradually stabilized.
However, Qin Hui could see that Jin Yan'er still looked a bit haggard.
"Qin Hui, I'm sorry to have made you witness this," Jin Yan'er said, forcing a smile.
"It's nothing. I should be the one apologizing. How about I explain to your boyfriend later?" Qin Hui asked tentatively. Although that Chen Ming wasn't great, Qin Hui couldn't possibly interfere with their relationship.
"Don't mention him. I'm tired of living with him. We never had much affection for each other to begin with."
"I remember when my mother fell seriously ill during university, it was Chen Ming who paid for the medical expenses. Ever since then, Chen Ming started pursuing me. I originally planned to repay him after returning the money and then we'd just be ordinary friends."
"But after I repaid him, Chen Ming's actions became more intense. Later, perhaps out of gratitude for his kindness, I agreed to be his girlfriend."
"However, since graduation, I don't know why, Chen Ming has always been suspicious of me, and eventually, it led to this scene today. I never expected him to do something like this."
As Jin Yan'er spoke, her expression grew dim. She knew Chen Ming liked her, but this almost疯狂 love frightened her.
Qin Hui nodded slightly from the side. He actually understood Chen Ming to some extent. After all, Jin Yan'er was too young and beautiful, and working in such a large company. Naturally, he feared a gap in their status and wanted to hold onto Jin Yan'er tightly, afraid of losing her.
Unfortunately, relationships require trust, and without it, everything is in vain.
"Don't worry, with your qualities, finding someone better should be easy?" Qin Hui said with a half-joking tone.
"Let's forget it. Finding someone who treats you well and suits you isn't that simple. I'll just work diligently for President Jiang. Once I have money, what kind of man can't I choose?" Jin Yan'er said proudly.
Seeing Jin Yan'er's proud demeanor, Qin Hui smiled slightly, feeling much more relaxed.
...
Inside the luxurious villa, Zhang Ke's expression was extremely grim. The previous failure had been enough of a blow to his ego, and he hadn't expected to fail again this time.
Zhang Ke had paid a heavy price to bribe that old fox, Uncle Fu. He never expected this old fox to play him like this.
"It seems I underestimated Qin Hui and Jiang Yanxi. Since they are so difficult to deal with, I'll have to take action myself tonight."
Zhang Ke swirled his wine glass, his expression grim.
"Young Master, to be safe, I think it's time to mobilize the forces behind us," the butler suggested from the side.
Hearing this, Zhang Ke's expression deepened considerably. After all, mobilizing these hidden forces would inevitably attract the attention of the other major families.
"Alright, summon both of them. If we can swallow up the Jiang Group, it's worth their appearance."
Zhang Ke finally made his decision.
"Yes, Young Master."
The butler nodded slightly, gaining more confidence.
Since they could no longer pose a threat to the Jiang Group through conventional means, they had to resort to special tactics. As long as the outcome was perfect, who would care about the process?
In this world, there are only winners and losers!
...
The venue for the party had been fully prepared. For this new product launch, Jiang Yanxi had also invited various prominent families from Jiangnan Province. Her intention was to take this opportunity to promote her products.
However, what surprised Jiang Yanxi was that Jin Yan'er seemed to be chatting quite well with Qin Hui?
Jiang Yanxi knew Jin Yan'er very well. If she were to be called a workaholic, Jin Yan'er was no less than herself, as she was too eager to prove herself.
But this was the first time Jiang Yanxi had seen Jin Yan'er chatting so amiably with Qin Hui. After all, there were quite a few people in the company pursuing Jin Yan'er, but she hadn't taken a liking to any of them.
No, she had to warn Qin Hui and prevent him from doing anything that would wrong Jin Yan'er.
With this thought, Jiang Yanxi walked towards Qin Hui. In Jiang Yanxi's opinion, Qin Hui's intentions were very dangerous, and she had to stop such a thing from happening.
Qin Hui, who was engrossed in conversation with Jin Yan'er, suddenly felt a cold aura approaching. He looked up and saw Jiang Yanxi walking towards him.
Upon seeing Jiang Yanxi, Jin Yan'er immediately spoke respectfully, "Hello, President Jiang. Everything for the party is ready. Do you have any further instructions?"
Jiang Yanxi nodded slightly at Jin Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, you've worked hard recently. I'll take care of the party tonight. You can finish early and go home to rest."
"President Jiang, there's no need. I can handle it." Jin Yan'er quickly waved her hand, indicating she was capable.
"I told you to go home and rest. What, you're not listening to me anymore? Believe it or not, I'll deduct your salary." Jiang Yanxi gave Jin Yan'er a meaningful look.
Seeing this, Jin Yan'er could only nod, unsure whether to feel fortunate or speechless.
"Yan'er, you should go home and rest early. We'll handle things tonight. See you next time." Qin Hui advised from the side. Qin Hui naturally didn't want to see Jin Yan'er tired, especially after all that had happened today.
"Okay." Jin Yan'er nodded and then bid farewell to everyone.
Watching Jin Yan'er's retreating figure, Jiang Yanxi looked at Qin Hui with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Qin Hui, I'm warning you, Yan'er is my capable secretary. You are absolutely forbidden from having any intentions towards her. If I find out, I won't forgive you," Jiang Yanxi said assertively. No matter what, Qin Hui was her nominal husband, and Jiang Yanxi absolutely would not allow such a thing to happen in front of her.
"Ahem, my President Jiang, aren't you thinking a bit too much? Am I that kind of person?" Qin Hui earnestly assured her.
However, Qin Hui's assurance was met with an eye-roll from Jiang Yanxi.
Qin Hui was momentarily speechless...
