He lost control after drinking and ended up marrying a powerful female CEO.

Before dawn, Qin Huai got up to exercise, running several laps around Phoenix Lake until he was covered in sweat.

After returning to the villa and taking a shower, he went into the kitchen and cooked more than twenty bowls of noodles, using up all the noodles he had stored.

The bodyguards squatted on the lawn, slurping up spicy noodles while chatting about all sorts of things, getting along very well.

Their perception of Qinhuai has gradually changed, from initial rejection to acceptance.

They've already started joking around with each other.

Su Huaijun and Lu Qingxue are beauties, so of course they wouldn't squat at the door to eat breakfast like the bodyguards.

Listening to the sounds of a group of people laughing and joking outside, it felt pretty good.

After breakfast, everyone went about their own business.

Those who need to go to the company should go to the company, and those who need to go to school should go to school.

Upon arriving at the school, Qin Huai still escorted Su Huaijun downstairs, ignoring the strange looks from passing students, and made a phone call to his sworn brother.

Soon, Tang Yuan came running over, very excited.

Today I'm wearing a green suit and shiny white leather shoes. I look like a vegetable, which is very environmentally friendly.

"Brother Huai, do I look handsome? Do you have time today to tell the brothers how to cultivate a certain aura?"

"My brother has to be handsome."

Qin Huai offered a reluctant compliment, saying, "But let's not talk about temperament today, let's talk about something more important."

Tang Yuan asked in surprise, "What could be more important than temperament?"

"sit."

Qin Huai pulled Tang Yuan to sit down, then took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

Tang Yuan took the cigarette, and Qin Huai was about to light it when an older woman appeared in front of them as if by magic, saying expressionlessly, "Smoking is not allowed in public places, or you will be fined two hundred."

Two hundred? That's a fine of two sticks!

Tang Yuan took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, pulled out four bills, and handed them to the old lady.

The old lady's eyes widened in astonishment.

Looking at the money in her hand, and then at Tang Yuan who looked like a vegetable, she was momentarily speechless.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, my brother is just a straightforward person, please don't take offense."

Qin Huai quickly apologized and pulled Tang Yuan away.

Tang Yuan shouted, "Why don't you smoke it before you leave? I've already paid..."

Qin Huai suddenly felt very embarrassed.

These half-brothers are better off without!

Pulling Tang Yuan to a small pavilion in the woods, Qin Huai lit a cigarette and asked, "Have you ever thought about starting a company?"

"Start a company? Become a startup?"

Qin Huai's question left Tang Yuan speechless.

"Yes, starting a business."

Tang Yuan said, "Who in their right mind would start a business? For a rich kid like me, living a life of leisure is the proper thing to do. Investing and starting a business is just idleness. If my dad found out, he'd beat me to death!"

Qin Huai's lips twitched.

What this guy said made a lot of sense, and for a moment I didn't know how to refute it.

"Actually, one's temperament is related to how one is addressed," Qin Huai said seriously.

"Huh? Tell me in detail!"

When it came to temperament, Tang Yuan immediately became interested.

Qin Huai said in a serious tone, "Look, if you start a company, no matter how big or small, with a dozen or twenty people working for you, they'll all bow and scrape and say 'Hello, boss' when they see you."

"That's right."

“Once you start a company, you’ll encounter all sorts of things, one after another. As you experience more, you’ll naturally develop a generous and composed demeanor.”

"Think about it, after you've weathered many storms, your eyes are filled with a sense of experience, and a calm and composed aura emanates from your every move..."

Tang Yuan thought about it carefully and suddenly realized, "I understand, Brother Huai, you mean I have too little experience, I seem immature, I don't have a mature and steady demeanor, and I give people a feeling of unreliability."

"clever!"

Qin Huai gave Tang Yuan another thumbs up, praising his ability to apply what he learned to other situations.

"That sounds plausible, but wouldn't starting a company lead to losses? I have no business acumen whatsoever; all I'm good for is showing off."

"No, no, no, brother, you have a distorted view of yourself! As long as you know how to act cool, everything else is not a problem! Besides, aren't I here for you?"

"really?"

Qin Huai said confidently, "It's more real than steaming buns. I'm handsome, trust me."

"I'm handsome, trust me..."

Tang Yuan repeated himself, his eyes shining as he looked at Qin Huai: "Brother Huai, what you said is so insightful and profound!"

"Right? Trust me."

"Fine! So what if I lose money? I still have some savings. Compared to a wonderful and exciting life, what is money, something you can't take with you when you die?"

"Ambitious!"

Qin Huai said confidently, "If we brothers join forces, we will definitely be able to create our own world! Not only will we not lose money, but we will make a lot of money!"

"Imagine you've built your empire quietly and made so much money that you can't keep your hands off him. If your dad ever needs money, you can just pull out a truckload of cash and put it in front of him. How shocked would he be?"

"Think about it again, you're just a member of a collateral branch of the Tang family, but one day when the Tang family faces decline, your so-called elites are at a loss. At that moment, you step forward and calmly and powerfully say, 'With me here, the Tang family will not fall.' At that time, how tall and glorious your figure will appear in everyone's eyes?"

Tang Yuan felt his hair stand on end, his scalp tingle, and his eyes glaze over.

I was completely immersed in the scene woven by Qin Huai.

His face turned from pale to flushed, and his hands trembled uncontrollably with excitement.

Qin Huai added appropriately, "To truly feel accomplished, you must do it in front of those who look down on you!"

"Done!!!"

Tang Yuan couldn't help but roar.

His eyes were reddening, and his excitement was beyond words. He held Qin Huai's hand tightly and said, "Brother Huai! I'll listen to you. We brothers have to do this! We'll start a company and make a fortune! Then let's see who dares to call me a good-for-nothing rich kid!"

"calm down!"

Qin Huai smiled and said, "Don't get excited yet. We can't just do small-scale things. If we're going to do it, we have to do it big. How much start-up capital can you come up with?"

"Two hundred...no! Three million!"

Tang Yuan now looks like a gambler who has lost everything and is seizing one last chance to turn things around.

"Let me think of something else, I should be able to scrape together five million!"

"Good, you really have the ability!"

Qin Huai said, "Then let's talk in detail about the content and prospects of starting a business..."

For the next two hours, Qin Huai spoke with great enthusiasm.

He rattled off a string of technical terms, leaving Tang Yuan completely bewildered, but his gaze toward Qin Huai was filled with trust.

Qin Huai wasn't entirely bluffing.

After he joined the organization, he was subjected to cramming-style learning every day.

Fighting is just the most basic thing.

The curriculum includes infiltration, surveillance and reconnaissance, counter-surveillance and counter-reconnaissance, psychology, business administration, foreign languages, public relations, etiquette, communication studies, and even makeup.

It involves more than ten major categories and nearly four hundred subcategories of knowledge.

That entire year was the darkest period of Qin Huai's life.

Even now, thinking back on it, I still feel lingering fear.

Although Tang Yuan is a bit brainless and pretentious, he is essentially a good person.

Qin Huai's actions were less about using him and more about giving him a stroke of good fortune.

Many years later, when a reporter interviewed Tang Yuan, who had made it onto the international rich list, and asked him if there was any secret to his success, Tang Yuan pondered for a long time before saying frankly, "My secret is only twelve words: Choice is more important than effort. I'm handsome, believe me."
