Supreme Dragon Son-in-law

He is the chairman?

Amidst the incredulous gazes of everyone, Ye Chen slowly rose to his feet.

The entire banquet hall's attention instantly shifted towards him.

"Ye Chen, what are you doing! Sit down quickly!" Ma Lan urged in fear.

Not comprehending the gravity of the situation, he was berated for making a scene. Amongst all the notable figures present, no one dared to stand up. Ye Chen, being perceived as a useless son-in-law, shouldn't be creating a disturbance at such a crucial time.

Wang Yunkai and Wang Yunfei exchanged glances, questioning whether Ye Chen could really be the chairman of Emgrand Group. However, they quickly dismissed the notion. It seemed implausible, given how he was scolded by Ma Lan.

"What are you doing, you loser! Why don't you sit down quickly!" Xiao Hailong shouted from the stage, his expression dark.

Coldly glancing at him, Ye Chen proceeded straight to Wang Dongxue, disregarding the horrified looks around. He whispered a few words in her ear, and Wang Dongxue nodded in agreement.

This scene sent shivers down everyone's spines.

Wang Dongxue, Vice Chairman of the Dihao Group and a renowned beauty in Jinling City! How did Ye Chen, an apparently incompetent son-in-law, have a connection with her? And judging by their interaction, it seemed they shared a close relationship.

After conveying his message, Ye Chen left the hall, paying no heed to the bewildered gazes of onlookers, and went in pursuit of Xiao Churan.

Onstage, Wang Dongxue stood up, took the microphone, and addressed the audience with everyone still in shock: "Hello, everyone. I am Wang Dongxue. Mr. Ye Chen met our chairman outside the venue earlier. The chairman asked him to deliver a message."

Relief washed over the crowd upon learning that Ye Chen was not the chairman of Emgrand.

Wang Yunkai sighed in relief and muttered disdainfully, "Just a chance encounter with her, and he goes out of his way to curry favor with her assistant. Truly rubbish."

Wang Yunfei shrugged, saying with a smile, "That's how little people behave."

At that moment, Wang Dongxue, on stage, cast a cold glance at Mrs. Xiao. Her expression turned stern as she declared, "The chairman asked me to inform everyone..."

"Effective immediately, Emgrand Group terminates its cooperation with the Xiao family, rendering the signed contract null and void!"

A collective gasp erupted from the crowd. No one anticipated such a drastic announcement.

Mrs. Xiao's face drained of color, and she anxiously inquired, "Vice-President Wang, what's the reason? Have we, the Xiao family, committed a mistake?"

Inviting renowned figures from Jinling, she aimed to establish the family's reputation. A public failure could lead to the Xiao family being scorned by everyone.

Wang Dongxue explained, "Our chairman initially collaborated with you on this project due to his appreciation for Ms. Xiao Churan. However, you made an independent decision, assigning an unknown individual to oversee the project. I'm sorry, but we cannot accept it!"

Having spoken, Wang Dongxue hung up the microphone and exited without a backward glance.

Mrs. Xiao's face turned pale, and she momentarily collapsed on stage.

She never anticipated that her momentary cleverness would jeopardize this golden opportunity!

If she had known, she would never have allowed Xiao Hailong to replace Xiao Churan as the director, even if it meant sacrificing her life.

Xiao Hailong was equally bewildered, wondering why Wang Dongxue seemed to be intentionally targeting him, despite having no apparent grievances.

Unable to contain his confusion, Xiao Hailong turned to Mrs. Xiao, "Grandma, now that the directorship has been announced, you won't regret it, will you?"

Struggling to stand, Mrs. Xiao raised her hand and slapped him across the face, scolding angrily, "You scoundrel! At a time like this, you still think about the directorship! Come with me to beg Churan!"

After chasing Xiao Churan outside, Ye Chen found her squatting in a secluded corner near the hotel, crying in distress.

Slowly approaching, he took off his suit and draped it over Xiao Churan, saying, "Darling, don't be upset. The position of the director in the Xiao family is not a treasure; it doesn't matter..."

"You don't understand. If I become the director, my parents will feel proud in the Xiao family. How can Grandma retract her promise..." Xiao Churan spoke through sobs, struggling to articulate her feelings.

Ye Chen continued to console her, "Maybe they will soon beg you to be the director. If you keep crying like this, you won't look pretty on stage..."

Choked up, Xiao Churan said, "It's impossible. Grandma has made up her mind. There's no turning back. You go inside first, and let me be alone..."

At this moment, Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Hailong rushed out of the banquet hall.

The elderly lady, breathless from running, was followed by a crowd of onlookers.

Upon spotting Ye Chen and Xiao Churan, Xiao Hailong hurried forward, glanced down at the tearful Xiao Churan, and blurted out, "Churan, quickly chase Vice Director Wang and convince her not to terminate our cooperation!"

Perplexed, Xiao Churan asked, "End cooperation? Why?"

Angrily, Xiao Hailong retorted, "Don't pretend to be innocent. You must have instigated Deputy Director Wang to embarrass me publicly. If you don't resolve this, I won't let you off!"

Crack!

Mrs. Xiao, furious, slapped Xiao Hailong again and scolded, "You wretch! How dare you speak to your sister like that! She is the director of our Xiao Group!"

Xiao Hailong, flustered, pleaded, "Grandma... Didn't you agree to let me be the director?"

The elderly Mrs. Xiao angrily declared, "If you hadn't misled me, how could I have changed my mind? If you persist in being obstinate, get out of the Xiao family!"

Despite being furious after being slapped twice by the elderly lady, Xiao Hailong dared not voice his grievances, swallowing his anger for the moment.

Mrs. Xiao then turned to Xiao Churan, urging, "Churan, please, you are now the director of the Xiao family. Quickly go and explain to Vice Director Wang; otherwise, our Xiao family is doomed!"

Xiao Churan looked at Ye Chen with confusion.

Ye Chen shrugged and said, "I told you they would beg you to be the director soon. If you still don't believe it, see, your face is wet with tears..."

Blushing with embarrassment, Xiao Churan wiped her tears, saying, "Then, I'll try to contact Dihao."

Dialing Wang Dongxue's number, all eyes were on her.

After a while, the call connected, and Xiao Churan said, "Hello, Vice President Wang, my grandma asked me to explain that I should be promoted to the director of the Xiao family and be responsible for cooperating with Dihao. Can you give us another chance?..."

Wang Dongxue chuckled and replied, "If you, as the director, can still be responsible, there will be no problem, and the cooperation can continue. But if it is someone else, there is no need to discuss anything..."

"Vice Director Wang... thank you so much..."

Xiao Churan, always bewildered about the situation, couldn't comprehend why Dihao Group seemed determined to help her. It was abnormal.

Wang Dongxue smiled, saying, "This is what our chairman intended. If there is an opportunity in the future, the chairman will personally explain it to you..."

Even more perplexed, Xiao Churan wondered who the chairman was. She had never met him. Why was he helping her?

"Then, could you please return to the banquet hall?" Xiao Churan asked nervously.

Although the other party left in anger due to the Xiao family's actions, it seemed overwhelming to invite them back at this moment. However, to her surprise, Wang Dongxue agreed decisively.

Soon, everyone witnessed Wang Dongxue's car returning to the hotel entrance.

At this moment, all eyes were on Xiao Churan, filled with a mix of horror and awe.
