Chapter 6: Getting Married to My Wife

In the private conference room of Xinmu Building, Jiang Zijin  was seated at the head of the table.

The man was dressed in a casual hoodie, the open round neckline revealing more than it concealed, as if deliberately showcasing something.

Distinct marks irregularly dotted his slender neck, and faint red traces on his collarbone all bore witness to the previous night’s escapades.

Everyone in the conference room was exchanging glances, silently communicating with their eyes.

Today, the big boss was acting very unusually. Not only had he come to work covered in marks, but he was also constantly glancing at his phone?

Had the sun risen from the west today?

Suddenly, a notification sound from a phone startled the slacking employees, who instinctively looked around for the source.

Jiang Zijin  put down the documents in his hand and glanced sideways at his phone screen.

He tapped on the voice message and froze in place.

“……Antonio, what do you think?” the vice president beside him asked.

Jiang Zijin ‘s mind was clearly elsewhere. His fingers trembled slightly as he tapped on the voice message again.

The man’s voice came through clearly from the single-sided Bluetooth earpiece, the words echoing in his mind.

The corners of his lips couldn’t help but curl upwards, and his fair earlobes flushed red.

Vice President Liu Jinchen called out to Jiang Zijin  several times, but he remained unresponsive, as if in a trance.

Liu Jinchen had no choice but to quickly wrap up the meeting and dismiss the employees.

After the meeting ended, someone was still sitting dazed in his chair.

“What’s going on with you? Those marks on your neck…” Liu Jinchen’s expression was a mix of complexity and disdain. “Couldn’t you at least cover them up? It’s quite unsightly.”

To be honest, when Jiang Zijin  had shown up at the company like this in the morning, Liu Jinchen had been shocked.

In the years he had known Jiang Zijin , the man had been as chaste as a monk.

As a top-tier venture capitalist, Jiang Zijin  was solely focused on expanding his empire, attending online meetings, flying all over the country, and barely having time to catch his breath.

He was so jaded that he scoffed at all romantic relationships, casual flings, and marriages.

Despite having a face that could make both gods and mortals fall for him, he had driven away countless suitors and remained stubbornly single.

Just when Liu Jinchen thought Jiang Zijin  would spend the rest of his life with his endless wealth, the man had shown up at the company covered in hickeys, and Liu Jinchen’s first reaction was that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

Liu Jinchen shook his head helplessly and picked up his water glass. “What’s going on with you? Did you find that Alpha who slept with you?”

Jiang Zijin  finally snapped out of his daze, his eyebrows lifting. “Liu Jinchen, I’m getting married.”

“Cough—” Liu Jinchen almost spat out his water.

“You? Getting married? You don’t even have a partner! How are you getting married?” Liu Jinchen hurriedly grabbed a tissue to wipe the slightly damp collar of his shirt.

Jiang Zijin  absentmindedly turned on the speakerphone, accidentally playing the voice message he had listened to countless times.

The man’s clear, pleasant voice echoed through the spacious conference room.

Jiang Zijin ‘s lips pressed together slightly, but the corners of his mouth still couldn’t help but curve upwards.

Liu Jinchen’s jaw dropped as he stared at him in disbelief. “You! You’re not going to register your marriage with that Alpha from yesterday, are you? Snap out of it!”

“You’re worth tens of billions, plus the inheritance from Jingsheng Group—you’re practically on the world’s wealth list! Are you sure you don’t want to calm down for a bit?”

“You’re an Enigma, and he’s an Alpha. You just slept together—it’s not like you’re going to get pregnant! Is it really that big of a deal?”

Jiang Zijin  scrutinized his reflection in the mirror, muttering to himself, “This outfit still isn’t formal enough. I need to change into something else.”

Liu Jinchen was utterly shocked. He chased after Jiang Zijin  as he walked out the door, “Hey, are you serious?! Who exactly are you marrying?”

Jiang Zijin ‘s voice was clear and cheerful, “Of course, I’m marrying my wife!”

Liu Jinchen: “…This is bad.”

On the other side, the officers had already taken away Tang Xia, who was nearly out of his mind with rage.

Lin Xingmian explained to the lead officer that this incident couldn’t have been Tang Xia’s doing alone. They needed to check his phone and chat records.

The officers naturally had more authority to search Tang Xia’s private information, and his phone was taken as evidence.

All Lin Xingmian could do now was wait for the results of their interrogation.

Meanwhile, General Manager Li, who had just grasped the full picture of the situation, immediately became overly attentive.

“So that’s what happened! I knew our Xingmian wouldn’t just skip the Golden Eagle Awards without a reason!” Manager Li’s smile was so wide that the wrinkles around his eyes piled up.

Manager Li’s gaze fell on Lin Xingmian, and he feigned concern as he patted Lin Xingmian’s shoulder, “Our Xingmian, are you hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?”

Lin Xingmian subtly dodged his hand, his voice cold, “I’m fine. But now I need a new agent. If something like this happens again, I’ll have to hold the company accountable.”

“Of course! I’ll bring over our company’s top agent right away.” Manager Li immediately dialed a number and walked to the corner of the meeting room to talk.

In less than 10 minutes, a tall, short-haired female Beta in a gray casual suit appeared before him.

She had a commanding presence, even more so than some celebrities.

“Mr. Lin, it’s an honor to meet you,” she nodded slightly, neither subservient nor arrogant.

Lin Xingmian stepped forward and extended his hand, “Ms. Qi Haian, I look forward to working with you.”

Qi Haian was momentarily taken aback but quickly shook his hand.

“Likewise. This is my job. Given the urgency of the situation, I’ll get straight to the point. Based on the current public opinion trends…”

Within five minutes of their meeting, they were already discussing business.

Manager Li, now reassured about the company’s stock price, happily left the two to their discussion.

Both were straightforward individuals, and they quickly got to the heart of the matter.

Lin Xingmian deleted the parts of the recording involving his family and, in coordination with the company’s PR department, uploaded it to the internet.

{Lin Xingmian V: I would like to apologize to all the artists and organizers present at the Golden Eagle Awards. Due to internal personnel engaging in improper conduct, obtaining illicit funds, and deliberately causing harm, I experienced physical discomfort and had to leave the event temporarily.

The suspect has been arrested, and our company will formally prosecute the individual through legal means to protect our rights.}

The post included not only a lawyer’s letter but also the audio evidence.

As soon as the post went live, it sparked a heated discussion.

[Damn, so that’s what happened!]

[Hey haters! You see this? Why aren’t you jumping around now?]

[I knew it! My Xingmian is all about his career—there’s no way he’d skip the Golden Eagle Awards!]

【This voice is unmistakably that of Mianmian’s manager! Oh my god! He’s been with Mianmian for over a decade! Mianmian trusts him completely!】

【Damn it, how did he end up in jail so early! It’s a mercy he wasn’t filmed dying!】

【Wait, you’re all missing the most important point—how did Tang Xia get his hands on the drugs to harm others? He’s involved in illegal drug trafficking, and this absolutely cannot be tolerated! This concerns the safety of everyone’s lives!】

【@Hucheng Police Bureau, is this true? Such a person must be severely punished!】

The incident’s heat continued to rise, and even the official account appeared in the comments section.

{Hucheng Police Bureau (Official): Protecting every citizen is our duty. We reject illegal drug trafficking and ensure a healthy and peaceful society.}

This response indirectly confirmed the authenticity of the incident, and the truth of the matter was fully established.

The anti-fans who claimed the recording was AI-generated were left speechless, and the netizens who had criticized Lin Xingmian began to apologize one after another.

Lin Xingmian’s Weibo follower count surged once again, even surpassing her original number by hundreds of thousands.

As the follower count on the computer screen kept rising, Lin Xingmian felt nothing. She lowered her head and lit up her phone screen.

{The Big Villain: Get your documents ready and come downstairs in 10 minutes.}
