Song Zhiqian took a deep breath. He thought to himself, "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth. How come I never thought this second aunt was so annoying before?"

"Yes, Xiaoqian, you've only been playing around in Haicheng. They know you're a child of the Song family, so they're all just flattering you. So, you've only been playing house for a few months. I reckon you haven't learned as much in those months as you have in school."

The second uncle also joined in, belittling Song Zhiqian.

"Brother, your nephew also has the surname Song, and he graduated from a prestigious university. It would be good to put him in the company to help Xiao Zhen. After all, Xiao Zhen is still just a girl, and she will have to get pregnant and have children in the future."

What if the Lu family sets their sights on our family fortune? We still need to keep one of our own people in the group, even if it's just your nephew assisting Xiao Zhen.”

Seeing that he was being ignored, Song Zhiqian got angry and stood up from the sofa.

“Dad, I want to join the company too. I’ve been working at Wenyao Group in Haicheng for a long time and I haven’t slacked off for a single day. I even went to Lingyu with the chairman of Wenyao Group and got to know the Xie family. Here’s a photo of me and Chairman Xie. Look.”

Song Zhiqian even dug out photos of himself and Xie Geng.

"The Xie family are suppliers for Mingcuifang, and I was the one who negotiated this project!"

Song Zhiqian boasted shamelessly, constantly embellishing his own reputation in order to get into the company.

"Besides, you must have heard of Wenyao Group, right? The atmosphere in their group is excellent, and their efficiency is extremely high. I spend every day there, and even if I don't learn seven or eight things, I've at least learned some basics."

Wenyao Group has indeed gained considerable fame recently. The group was only registered last year, but it has already achieved remarkable results this year, which has attracted the attention of many people in the industry.

"So... you only stayed for a few months..."

"Second Uncle, since you were raised by Grandpa as his son, then let my cousin stay home and be a grandson. I've played with my cousin a lot since I was little, do you think I don't know whether he's ambitious or not?"

When Grandpa Song was still young, he raised his eldest son as his heir based on his own nature, while raising the second son as a son without any restrictions.

The two uncles and aunts were stunned at first, completely unexpected that Song Zhiqian would be like a different person after returning from Haicheng. He would never have said such things to them before.

The main reason is that Song Zhiqian didn't have any issues with the two of them before, but ever since he found out that they were eyeing the group and bullying Song Zhen, he has held a grudge against them.

Upon seeing this scene, Chairman Song first pretended to ponder for a moment, but in the end, he still agreed to let Song Zhiqian join the group.

After all, he was aware of the intentions of the two men from the second son of the Song family. It was a good thing that his son was now ambitious. Although his abilities were not as strong as Song Zhen's, he was enough to assist Song Zhen in the company.

Starting the next day, Song Zhiqian joined the group. At noon, Song Zhen called Song Zhiqian to her office.

"You're quite something, you still look presentable when you're working."

Song Zhen scanned Song Zhiqian from head to toe. In the past few months, Song Zhiqian had changed a lot, both in temperament and demeanor.

"What method did Wen Yao use to train you to be like this?"

Song Zhen rested her chin on her hand, somewhat curious. After all, she had often tried to urge her younger brother on, but he had always been hopeless.

“I went to her place mainly for you, sister. I know you don’t like Zheng Ran, and I don’t want you two to be together anymore. Can we cancel the engagement banquet? I’ll stay at the company from now on, so Uncle and Aunt won’t cause any more trouble.”

Song Zhen was somewhat moved.

"But you also know that the engagement banquet is in half a month, and being with Lu Zhengran is quite good. He has a good character and is a suitable marriage partner."

"But if it weren't for your second uncle, second aunt, and grandparents, would you still have taken the initiative to ask Zheng Ran to marry you?"

Song Zhen shook her head almost without hesitation. Her family, Song, was wealthy and powerful, and no longer needed their children to sacrifice their marriages for political alliances.

"See! I knew it! So, sister, can you please not arrange this marriage? I've already come back to support you."

Song Zhen smiled with relief.

"Okay, I promise you, no arranged marriage, but not now, in a few days. If you've really matured, then I can really cancel the engagement, but I'll feel a little sorry for Lu Zhengran."

"By the way, do you want to go to Haicheng? I'm going to Haicheng on a business trip in a few days. Why don't you come with me? I haven't seen Wen Yao in ages; could you help me arrange to meet up with her?"

Song Zhiqian nodded, and after leaving, he told Wen Yao that Song Zhen had agreed to cancel the engagement.

Wen Yao breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing the message on her phone.

Song Zhen is warm and generous, and she doesn't want to see Song Zhen wrong herself.

When she received the news, it was almost lunchtime, so Wen Yao simply drove to the Lu Group building.

He arranged to meet Lu Zhengran at a nearby Western restaurant.

"I have some news for you. Sister Song Zhen is considering canceling the engagement, so you don't need to worry too much about the engagement banquet."

Lu Zhengran raised an eyebrow.

"Really?"

"Of course, the marriage was not her own idea at all."

By the way, will you have any objections?

Lu Zhengran was, after all, the male protagonist of the arranged marriage, and Wen Yao was afraid that Lu Zhengran would be angry about this.

Lu Zhengran calmly shook his head.

"I won't be angry. Judging from Song Zhen's style, if she really wants to cancel the engagement, she will definitely give me an explanation."

As you said, the arranged marriage wasn't her own idea, so I can understand her.

Hearing Lu Zhengran speak like that, Wen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good, that's good. Actually, the reason I've been with Song Zhiqian for so long is to prepare for this. I can also make it up to you. Wenyao Group will never compete with you for projects in the future, but I'll only let you have it twice at most!"

Wen Yao patted her chest, looking righteous.

"It's alright, I was just saying, the Song family doesn't need a marriage alliance at all."

After exchanging a few words, Lu Zhengran glanced at his watch.

"Alright, I have to go to work now. If you want to find me, you can go directly to my office."

Lu Zhengran had a 20-minute lunch break today, but he went over it to spend time with Wen Yao.

"Okay, you can go now."

After Lu Zhengran left, Wen Yao was also about to leave when someone blocked her way.

"Okay, since Sister Song Zhen isn't here, you're having dinner with her boyfriend. Wen Yao, don't make your little scheme too obvious."
