After one night of indulgence, the abstinent tycoon kissed her every night with his hand on her hip.

Fu Libai held his wine glass, gently swirled it, glanced at the man who couldn't hide his good mood, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Alright, shut your mouth, your smile is too bright."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan glanced at Fu Libai indifferently, "Jealousy!"

"Oh!"

Fu Libai took a sip of the wine in his glass and couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Turn off that stinky smell on you, it's suffocating me."

"You look like you've figured things out, so you've made up?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan's eyes gleamed with barely concealed light. "You can start preparing the red envelopes now."

Upon hearing this, Fu Libai became interested and looked at Ling Jingyuan with a gossipy expression. "What, did you get someone pregnant? Did you get married because of a child?"

Ling Jingyuan glanced at Fu Libai, who seemed to be in a good mood, and said, "I asked you to prepare a wedding red envelope."

"Oh, did I hear that right? Newlywed?"

"you?"

At that moment, the door to the private room was opened, and Zhou Siye, dressed in a black suit, walked in.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Fu Libai hurriedly smiled and said, "Si Ye, you've come at the right time! President Ling asked you to prepare a red envelope, a wedding red envelope!"

"This guy's gone mad!"

Zhou Siye strode over to the sofa and sat down. He wearily loosened his tie, picked up a wine glass from the table, and took a big gulp. Then he glanced at Fu Libai with a puzzled look on his face.

"What did you say? What red envelope?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Libai looked at Ling Jingyuan and said, "This person wants us to prepare red envelopes, wedding red envelopes."

Zhou Siye unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, downed the half-glass of wine in one gulp, and then looked at Ling Jingyuan.

"A red envelope? You're getting married?"

Ling Jingyuan smiled faintly upon hearing this, gently swirled the glass in his hand, and said arrogantly, "It's bound to happen sooner or later, so you should prepare in advance."

Zhou Siye:......

Fu Libai: ...

Isn't this too early?

Zhou Siye poured himself another glass of wine, but held the glass without drinking it.

He glanced at Ling Jingyuan and noticed that the man was nothing like the heartbroken, drunken man he had been a few days ago. He was radiant and his eyes were filled with the glow of love.

Zhou Siye took a small sip of his drink, somewhat taken aback by the romantic spark in the man's eyes. "Have you made up again?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan glanced at the two of them with a somewhat smug look, "When have Jiang Zhi and I ever had any disagreements? Our relationship has always been good, there's no question of reconciliation."

Zhou Siye:......

Fu Libai: ...

Fu Libai: "Get out! Stop disgusting me here."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan nonchalantly picked up his glass of wine and slowly sipped it. "You guys without girlfriends wouldn't understand..."

Fu Libai and Zhou Siye, who were both single, felt hurt. That night, Ling Jingyuan was forced to drink a lot of alcohol by the two of them, and everyone drank to their heart's content.

The next day, Ling Jingyuan tragically discovered that he had caught a cold.

He took some cold medicine and went straight to the company. Thinking about the arranged marriage Jiang Zhi had mentioned before, his eyes furrowed and his expression turned grim.

"Li Rui, come here for a second."

One minute later, assistant Li Rui entered the office.

Li Rui: "Boss."

Ling Jingyuan: "Who spread the rumor that I'm going to marry the Qin family's daughter? Investigate and have the group issue a statement first."

Li Rui nodded upon hearing this, "Okay, boss, I'll take care of it right away."

Soon after, the Ling Group issued an official statement, which clearly stated that Mr. Ling Jingyuan, the president of the Ling Group, had no relationship with the Qin family's daughter and had no intention of a marriage alliance.

Furthermore, the president of the Ling Group does not accept marriage alliances with anyone; if he does marry, it must be for love.

This statement immediately propelled both the Ling and Qin families to the top of trending searches, and everyone became incredibly curious about Ling Jingyuan.

Design institute.

Jiang Zhi was working on a plan when Xiao Jing, looking on with a gossipy expression, came over.

"Hey Jiang Zhi, look at the trending topics! Ahhh, Ling Jingyuan is truly a domineering CEO, so incredibly domineering!"

"If I'm going to get married, it will definitely be for love!"

"Oh, that's so well said. I wonder who this domineering CEO's love is. I'm so envious."

Jiang Zhi was completely confused. She stopped pressing the buttons and looked at Xiao Jing, who had a gossipy and infatuated expression, with a bewildered look.

"Xiao Jing, what are you saying?"

"Look for yourself."

As Xiao Jing spoke, she handed her phone to Jiang Zhi. The webpage contained the Qin family's statement and a text interview with Ling Jingyuan.

Jiang Zhi was slightly startled after reading it, her feelings were somewhat complicated.

"Jiang Zhi, get ready. Yaokun Group just sent a message that they need to hold a meeting this morning to discuss the proposal." Fang Jingjun walked over hurriedly, his voice somewhat deep.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhi frowned slightly. Why the rush? Normally, a time would be agreed upon in advance. Why do they always pull these surprise attacks? Fortunately, their plans are usually prepared two days in advance.

"Okay, I understand."

Fang Jingjun's expression was also unpleasant upon receiving the news. In fact, this project was not large, with a construction cost of only 60 million yuan, which was only considered a medium-sized project for them.

They just wanted to use this project to get more projects from the Qin Group in the future.

However, working with Qin Man, the daughter of the Qin family, was really uncomfortable.

Forty minutes later, Jiang Zhi and his group sat in the Qin family's meeting room waiting. After ten minutes, Qin Man slowly entered the meeting room with a cup of coffee.

Her face was unpleasant, her aura was low, and she glanced at Jiang Zhi with an arrogant and impatient look. She pouted and said, "Begin."

She saw the statement that Ling Jingyuan had his company issue today, and she felt like she had been slapped hard in the face. Wasn't this man obviously telling everyone that it was Qin Man who had staged the accident?

She had just been severely scolded by her father in the office, and Qin Man was very angry, with nowhere to vent her anger.

Jiang Zhi carefully and earnestly explained the three plans. After reading the plans, Qin Man took a sip of coffee, her tone full of displeasure.

"Manager Fang, is this all your design institute is capable of? I've given you so much time, and this is what you show me?"

Fang Jingjun's expression also turned somewhat ugly upon hearing this. After all, he was an old fox, and he could easily see what Qin Man meant.

"Mr. Qin, what are you dissatisfied with? All three proposals were designed based on the requirements you raised last time and in combination with the characteristics of this project itself."

"You're asking me what I'm not satisfied with? It's bad, it's bad, there's no 'why.' If you can't design..."

Before Qin Man could finish speaking, a deep male voice interrupted her. Qin Man's father, Qin Zheng, walked in.

"Qin Man! What happened?"

Qin Zheng sat down next to Qin Man and asked Jiang Zhi to explain the plan. He looked at the three plans and finally chose one that was very similar to the version he had decided on before.

"This is the final version of the plan. You should work on the further refinement as soon as possible to ensure the smooth progress of the plan."

After saying that, he glanced at Qin Man and left the conference room with her entourage.

Fang Jingjun's expression softened a bit after the two left. Fortunately, there was someone sensible in the Qin family. He glanced at Jiang Zhi, who was packing up the computer, and spoke in a low voice.

"Go back and quickly refine this plan, specifying every detail of each step to ensure its feasibility. Make sure it's done in great detail."

"As you can see, the Qin family's plan is not going to be easy. If we are careful in the early stages, we will avoid being caught by them later."

Jiang Zhi nodded upon hearing this. Although she had only met Qin Man, the daughter of the Qin family, a few times, she had found that this person was indeed difficult to get along with, especially since she was now the client and even more difficult to cooperate with.

The plan needs to be meticulous and professional, so that she won't be able to find fault with it.

Okay, I understand.

After returning to the design institute, Jiang Zhi became very busy. For several days in a row, she was extremely busy and completely forgot about the man.

After realizing he had a cold, Ling Jingyuan didn't go to see Jiang Zhi for fear of infecting her.

So every day when I had free time, I would send messages to Jiang Zhi, but the messages I sent were like throwing meat buns to a dog—they never came back, and I never received a reply.

Ling Jingyuan's eyes darkened. After recovering from his cold on Friday, he drove straight to Jiang Zhi's house to ambush her after work.

After a busy week, Jiang Zhi was finally able to leave work on time on Friday without having to work overtime.

She had only taken a few steps after stepping out of the elevator when she saw the tall, familiar figure standing at her door.

She paused slightly, walked to the door, looked at the man standing there, and couldn't help but ask, "Ling Jingyuan, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Jingyuan didn't say anything. He simply took her hand, pressed his fingerprint to open the door, then quickly pulled her inside, slammed the door shut, and hugged her tightly.

Ling Jingyuan: "Jiang Zhi, I'll come to your door to provide service."
