Chapter 11: Invitation to the Chairman
Xiao Hailong kowtowed three times, and the humiliating tears were welling up in his eyes.
But at this moment, he dared not act recklessly.
He knew that his grandmother must be very dissatisfied with him right now.
At this time, he couldn’t say anything that would provoke her anger again.
Seeing Xiao Hailong bowing his head in apology, Grandma Xiao felt a bit relieved.
She didn’t actually want her grandson to bow to Ye Chen, this useless person, but the key was that this poisonous oath was related to her life.
She had always believed in Buddhism, and if Xiao Hailong didn’t bow and apologize, she feared she would be restless, worried that retribution would fall upon her.
So, she looked at Xiao Hailong and said lightly, “Hailong, these three bows are to teach you a lesson. In the future, don’t casually bet on things you’re not sure about. Even if you do, don’t let it affect your family!”
Xiao Hailong, with a mournful face, said, “Grandma, I understand. I won’t dare to do it again…”
While speaking, he cast a glance at Ye Chen, filled with malice, thinking to himself, you useless person, forcing me to kneel and bow, losing all my face. I will definitely kill you sooner or later!
Then, Grandma Xiao spoke up, “Today, Churan successfully secured this contract, which is worth celebrating. Everyone should take this time to prepare. We must seize this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Dihao Group!”
Ye Chen reminded from the side, “Grandma, since Churan has negotiated the project cooperation, doesn’t that mean the position of company director should be given to her?”
Grandma Xiao raised her eyebrows, and her heart began to ponder.
She had indeed said that whoever secured the contract would be able to become the director.
However, thinking about how she had never liked Xiao Churan and how her useless husband had always annoyed her, she felt uneasy.
If she promoted Xiao Churan, what if she became uncontrollable in the future?
In that moment, she really wanted to take back her previous promise.
After all, when she made the promise, she didn’t swear a poisonous oath, so even if she took it back, she would feel justified.
However, she thought such words shouldn’t be said right after Xiao Churan had just signed the contract, so she said, “How about this? Tomorrow evening, I will hold a banquet and invite prominent figures from Jinling to attend. At that time, I will announce our cooperation with the Dihao Group and the appointment of the new director in person.”
Hearing this, Ye Chen let out a satisfied sigh.
Xiao Churan also smiled gently, thinking that it seemed the director position was finally hers, and she wouldn’t have to be marginalized anymore. Her parents could also hold their heads high!
Grandma Xiao turned to look at Xiao Churan and continued, “Churan, there’s one more thing I want you to help with.”
Xiao Churan quickly replied, “Grandma, please go ahead.”
Grandma Xiao said, “I want you to contact the chairman of Dihao and invite him to attend tomorrow’s banquet.”
After a pause, the old lady said with anticipation, “If he can come to our banquet, it would definitely be a great honor for our Xiao family and would also boost our reputation!”
Xiao Churan thought for a moment and hesitantly said, “But… the last time I went, I only met the vice chairman Wang Dongxue and didn’t see the chairman himself… Moreover, we just secured their project, holding such a banquet might seem too deliberate…”
“What does that matter? I want to tell everyone in Jinling that we are now tied to the big ship of Dihao, and our Xiao family is going to prosper from now on!”
After finishing, the old lady added, “Even if the chairman of Dihao is unwilling to come, inviting Wang Dongxue is also acceptable. She is the second-in-command of Dihao Group, and having her come would still be impressive.”
At this point, Grandma Xiao was already visibly excited.
Just thinking about how those big families and conglomerates that once looked down on the Xiao family might have to rely on the Xiao family in the future made her blood boil with excitement.
Under her leadership, the Xiao family would become even more glorious!
Xiao Churan pondered for a moment before hesitantly replying, “I understand. I’ll give it a try…”
“Not just a try! You must invite them!”
Xiao Churan gently nodded, but then quietly asked Ye Chen, “What should I do? What if the chairman of Dihao doesn’t come? What if Wang Dongxue doesn’t want to come either?”
Ye Chen chuckled and said, “Just give it a shot. Don’t you have Wang Dongxue’s number? Maybe if you call, she’ll agree right away?”
The Xiao family was hosting a banquet not only to showcase their strength but also to announce Xiao Churan’s promotion to director.
With his wife being promoted, it wouldn’t be bad for him, as her husband, to show some support.
At this moment, Xiao Churan had no idea that her husband was actually the chairman of Dihao Group. She sighed with some hesitation and said, “But the other party is the chairman of Dihao, and it’s said he’s also a young master from a prominent family in Yanjing. Such a big shot is busy with so many affairs; how could he have time to attend a banquet…”
Ye Chen laughed and said, “I wouldn’t be so sure. Maybe he’s just at home every day, cooking and doing laundry for his wife?”
Xiao Churan rolled her eyes at him and said, “Do you think everyone is like you?”
Ye Chen nodded, “Yeah, it’s very possible that the boss of Dihao Group is just like me…”
Xiao Churan pouted and playfully retorted, “Cut it out! How could that be possible!”
