Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Powerlessness
“Yes,” Zhao Yuxin nodded.

“Is your husband a second-generation rich?” the bank manager asked directly.

“No, my husband isn’t a second-generation rich, it’s just a coincidence that he became friends with Jiang Yuheng,” replied Zhao Yuxin.

“It seems your husband is no simple man,” the bank manager remarked once again.

He believed that Zhao Yuxin wouldn’t lie to him, nor did she have any reason to.

Zhao Yuxin’s husband wasn’t a second-generation rich, but he managed to befriend Jiang Yuheng.

This meant Zhao Yuxin’s husband was definitely not a simple man.

“Manager, you jest, my husband is just an ordinary person,” Zhao Yuxin said modestly.

“Haha, Zhao Yuxin, you’re too modest. No matter what, you’ve made a great contribution this time by securing this business deal for the bank. I won’t go back on my word, you can choose any position in the bank, and also, when we have time, I’ll treat you and your husband to a meal.”

The bank manager was in high spirits, eager to take this opportunity to make the acquaintance of Zhao Yuxin’s husband.

Befriending someone like Zhao Yuxin’s husband would only be beneficial to both the bank and his own personal advancement, without any downside.

“Alright, thank you, manager. Then, I’ll go back to work,” Zhao Yuxin thanked him.

“Go ahead, and let me know when the fund finance manager arrives,” said the bank manager.

It was natural for him to meet the person himself to show how seriously he took the matter.

“Alright.” Zhao Yuxin left the bank manager’s office.

…

Triumph Investments.

Chen Guanglei entered the president’s office.

“Dad, what’s up?”

Upon entering the office, Chen Guanglei plopped down onto the sofa.

Just now, he had been flirting with a beauty from the department when he received a call from his dad asking him to come to the office.

He was at a crucial moment in his flirtations when the old man interrupted, which greatly disappointed him.

“The deal with the Southwest Chamber of Commerce fell through,”

Chen Guanglei’s father, Chen Ankang, was a balding middle-aged man around fifty years old.

His personal health had not been well-managed, leading to a significant weight gain.

However, this did not impair his success.

He was a self-made man who had become a business tycoon worth billions.

Successful, he failed to keep a man’s bottom line, keeping a mistress on the side, and eventually divorced his wife.

This did not diminish his charm; his wealth meant he was never short of beautiful women.

After all, he was rich, had a son already, and whether or not he had a wife didn’t matter to him anymore.

Upon hearing this, Chen Guanglei’s face changed dramatically, “How did it fall through? Didn’t you say it was almost a sure thing?”

Chen Ankang gave a wry smile, “I did say it was almost guaranteed, but there’s always that one chance of failure. There was no issue with the deal, but someone got involved.”

Chen Guanglei frowned, “Who interfered?”

Chen Ankang replied, “The son of the Southwest Chamber of Commerce president, Jiang Yuheng.”

Chen Guanglei was shocked, “Him!”

As one of the city’s rich second-generation, he well knew that Jiang Yuheng was a top-tier rich second-generation figure in the city.

Moreover, he had hoped to become friends with Jiang Yuheng.

Unfortunately, he had only seen Jiang Yuheng from a distance at a car racing event and another time at a cocktail party. He never had the chance to get to know Jiang Yuheng.

He couldn’t just go up and introduce himself, asking to be friends.

If he did that, it would be ineffective, and it would make him look like an idiot.

These things required an introduction by someone.

Regrettably, to this day, he had not found anyone to make the introduction.

But now, Jiang Yuheng had interfered in this matter.

Meaning, Zhao Yulu becoming his girlfriend was off the table.

In other words, Jiang Yuheng had messed up his plan.

Regarding this, he only dared to hold a little grudge against Jiang Yuheng in his heart.

Or occasionally curse a few times when he was at home alone.

He definitely wouldn’t dare to show it in front of others.

Otherwise, if Jiang Yuheng found out that he, a little rich second generation, was dissatisfied with him, he would be doomed.

Chen Ankang nodded, “He’s responsible for the preparation work of the fund. Normally, he wouldn’t bother with such things, but who knew, this morning, he told others and designated the bank for fund custody. That vice chairman, how could he dare to oppose? Keep in mind, Jiang Yuheng’s dad is the chairman, and his influence is far beyond what the vice chairman could ever compare to.”

Chen Guanglei puzzled, “Why did he suddenly designate a bank?”

Chen Ankang shook his head, “Don’t know, the vice chairman didn’t say regarding that.”

Chen Guanglei bitterly said, “Then there’s nothing we can do about it.”

He walked out of the CEO’s office and left the company, getting into his own car.

Then, he dialed Zhao Yulu’s phone number.

Soon, the call connected.

“Chen Guanglei, have you settled the matter of the one billion in funding?”

Zhao Yulu had been eagerly thinking about this.

She remembered that Chen Guanglei said there should be a result today.

Calling at this time, there should be some outcome.

“Yu Lu, I was just about to talk to you about this. I’m sorry, it hasn’t worked out.” Chen Guanglei said with bitterness.

“What happened, didn’t you say it would be fine?” Zhao Yulu’s heart sank. She had already told her colleagues that she would secure this deal, even the bank manager knew and had come to inquire about it.

If the deal didn’t go through, her colleagues would laugh at her, and the bank manager would be dissatisfied with her.

How was she supposed to continue working at the bank?

Chen Guanglei, every time full of big promises, and every time the result is not good.

This time, it was about her job, and still there was a problem.

“Yu Lu, you can’t blame me for this. My dad has a good relationship with the vice chairman who said he would help, but someone intervened and the vice chairman was powerless.” Chen Guanglei sounded helpless and bitter.

Truth be told, he wished for this to succeed more than anyone, even more than Zhao Yulu herself did.

After all, if it worked out, Zhao Yulu would become his girlfriend.

Then he could legitimately find various excuses to take Zhao Yulu to a hotel.

But in the end, it still didn’t go as he wished.

All because of that damn Jiang Yuheng, meddling in the affair.

Having missed this chance, who knows when another will come.

He wanted to give up, but after pursuing for so long, investing so much time and effort, and also money.

Money was actually not a big deal, it was just treating Zhao Yulu to meals, without giving her any gifts.

It’s not that he wasn’t willing to give gifts, it’s that Zhao Yulu didn’t want any.

Zhao Yulu, at most, would go shopping with him and have a meal or something.

On this point, Zhao Yulu was better than many women.

Without being in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship with Chen Guanglei, she didn’t ask for any gifts from him.

This fact increased the difficulty for Chen Guanglei in pursuing Zhao Yulu.

If Zhao Yulu accepted gifts, it would be easy; he could just throw money at the problem, since he was rich.

But Zhao Yulu didn’t want gifts, which required him to invest time and energy.

After investing too much time and energy, giving up now would leave Chen Guanglei feeling unwilling.

“Every time it’s like this, it’s happened so many times already.” Zhao Yulu said coldly.

“Yu Lu, these really were accidents.” Chen Guanglei said with bitterness.

“You promised confidently that there’d be no issue. I’ve already mentioned it to colleagues and the bank manager. Now that it hasn’t worked out, how am I supposed to keep working at the bank?” Zhao Yulu was extremely frustrated.

“Yu Lu, if you don’t want to work at the bank anymore, I can arrange for you to work at my dad’s company. I guarantee the salary will definitely be better than what you make at the bank, and the work will be easier.”

Chen Guanglei’s eyes brightened, and he suddenly saw this as a good opportunity.

If Zhao Yulu were to work at his dad’s company, he would have even more chances to be in contact with her, and the hope to win over Zhao Yulu would greatly increase.
