Missing your smile

Chapter 45 Counterattack

Since Uncle Jiang had entrusted Jiang Yanxi to him, Qin Hui was not polite. This was not only for Jiang Yanxi's good, but also because the path Qin Hui would take in the future really needed Jiang Yanxi's help.

After discussing the major matters, Qin Hui and Uncle Jiang played chess back and forth until dinner time, when they reluctantly stopped.

"Qin Hui, it's rare for you to visit. Tonight, we won't go home until we're drunk. At worst, we can rest in Yanxi's room if we get drunk."

Jiang Wanran patted Qin Hui's shoulder, trying to create an opportunity.

"Dad, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Yanxi was naturally unhappy.

"Hmph, you're not young anymore, and you're still arguing with me. Do you still want my shares?"

Jiang Wanran threatened.

Hearing this, Jiang Yanxi was a little speechless and could only give Qin Hui a warning look.

However, Qin Hui completely ignored this look. Since the father-in-law had agreed, Qin Hui naturally wouldn't be polite.

The three sat down, and the dishes were served quickly.

The other dishes were quite good, looking appetizing. However, a plate of stir-fried pork with chili was dark, clearly burnt.

"Try the dish I made."

Jiang Yanxi diligently served Qin Hui a piece of the black meat, which had a burnt taste.

Seeing Jiang Yanxi's gloating eyes, Qin Hui knew she was targeting him.

Clearly, Jiang Yanxi was trying to "murder her husband."

Qin Hui moved his chopsticks and put the piece of meat into his mouth. After chewing, Qin Hui felt it was necessary to "discipline" Jiang Yanxi. How could women not know how to cook?

"It's delicious, isn't it?"

Jiang Yanxi rested her chin on her hands, looking expectant.

It was unclear whether her expectant gaze was genuine or deliberate.

"It's not bad."

Qin Hui swallowed, suppressing the urge to spit it out.

"Since it's so delicious, you should eat more."

Jiang Yanxi quickly served him several more pieces.

Seeing this, Qin Hui regretted it.

Thus, throughout the meal, Qin Hui truly understood the meaning of the phrase "wearing a mask of suffering."

After dinner, Jiang Wanran transferred all his shares to Qin Hui.

It was known that Jiang Wanran had managed the Jiang Group for so many years and naturally kept a trump card. As his life's work, he could not easily give away the Jiang Group.

Seeing the shares transferred, Jiang Yanxi's heart finally felt at ease.

"Tomorrow, when you go to the company, deal with those old guys properly. We can release the new product tomorrow night and catch them off guard."

Jiang Yanxi said confidently. With a trump card in hand, it was much easier to fight.

"Heh heh, then we'll have to get up early tomorrow and get the marriage certificate first."

Qin Hui said, being a bit more forward.

Jiang Yanxi gave Qin Hui a glare and turned to go back to her room to rest, closing the door behind her.

Qin Hui was speechless. It seemed he would be sleeping alone tonight.

...

In a luxurious hotel, Zhang Ke stroked a scantily clad internet celebrity while holding a glass of red wine.

"How is the Jiang Group doing? Is it proceeding according to my plan?"

Zhang Ke asked calmly.

"Uncle Fu of the Jiang Group has completely sided with us. In three days, it will be the day Jiang Yanxi hands over power. Once she loses power, she will be no different from an ordinary person."

The butler replied quickly.

"Still three days?"

"Alright, then I'll wait another three days. After three days, I want Jiang Yanxi to beg me on her knees. Even if she doesn't come, I'll make her sleep in my bed."

Zhang Ke laughed wildly and downed the red wine in his glass.

"Young Master Zhang, don't do that. Let me accompany you these few days."

The internet celebrity pleaded.

After all, she only earned a little money every day from live streaming. Accompanying Young Master Zhang for one day was worth a million, and a few more days meant a few more million. She didn't want her position to be challenged by others.

"You are indeed too greedy. Don't worry, I will spoil you."

Zhang Ke smiled charmingly, his large hands reaching towards the internet celebrity's body.

Seeing this, the butler calmly walked out of the room, and soon, the sounds of a woman's happy laughter emanated from the room.

...

The next morning, after breakfast, Qin Hui and Jiang Yanxi went to the registration office to complete their marriage procedures.

The procedures were completed quickly. In just five minutes, the staff had issued their marriage certificates.

In the corridor of the office, looking at the red book in his hand, Jiang Yanxi suddenly felt a sense of disorientation. Was she really getting married so easily?

Qin Hui also felt a sense of emotion. He hadn't expected to be married. He wondered if the old Taoist priest would be happy if he knew.

"Why are you wearing such a long face? There are plenty of people in Jiangnan Province who want to marry me."

Jiang Yanxi saw Qin Hui's wistful expression and felt quite unbalanced.

She was the one who should be wistful. His expression made it seem like Qin Hui was at a disadvantage.

"You're right."

Qin Hui gave a forced smile and didn't say much more.

Marriage, for Qin Hui, was a responsibility, and even more so, a fatal weakness.

The Qin family in Yanjing, which Qin Hui faced, was a family that would do anything. They were capable of anything.

After getting the certificate, Qin Hui took Jiang Yanxi back to the company.

As soon as they returned to the company, Jiang Yanxi called Jin Yan'er over to announce that a shareholders' meeting would be held.

Jin Yan'er was stunned at first, but seeing Jiang Yanxi's serious demeanor, she quickly made the announcement.

Qin Hui, as usual, poured himself a cup of Blue Mountain latte and sat on the sofa to drink it.

After finishing the tasks at hand, Jiang Yanxi finally spoke, "Let's go. Those old fogeys have all arrived."

Qin Hui nodded slightly, holding his coffee, and followed Jiang Yanxi towards the conference room.

Along the way, Jin Yan'er was very surprised by Qin Hui's presence and truly didn't know why he was there.

Qin Hui smiled knowingly at the stylish and sexy female secretary.

However, Qin Hui's smile was directly interpreted as lewd behavior by Jin Yan'er, who immediately turned her head away.

Qin Hui was instantly speechless. Fortunately, the distance was not long, and the three soon arrived at the door of the conference room.

When Jiang Yanxi entered the conference room, she immediately attracted everyone's attention because everyone was eagerly awaiting Jiang Yanxi's next decision.

As for Jin Yan'er and Qin Hui behind Jiang Yanxi, they were ignored by everyone.

After sitting down, Jiang Yanxi asked elegantly, "Everyone, please proceed with the voting. However, before you vote, I advise everyone to think carefully. Once a decision is made, it cannot be changed."

Upon hearing this, the shareholders, who had already made up their minds to oust Jiang Yanxi from the CEO position, began to hesitate, because Jiang Yanxi today seemed completely unaffected by the previous events.

"Jiang Yanxi, don't try to scare us with empty threats. We originally wanted to give you three days to step down. Since you're so impatient, we'll have to oblige you."

Uncle Fu finished speaking and looked at the crowd.

Receiving Uncle Fu's gaze, the crowd no longer hesitated.

Although doing so would be a disservice to the Jiang Group, only children differentiate right from wrong; adults only care about profit.
