Invitation to the Chairman
837 Words
Xiao Hailong kowtowed three times, his eyes filled with tears of humiliation. However, he knew he couldn't make a mistake at this moment. He couldn't say anything to anger his grandmother further.
Mrs. Xiao felt a sense of relief seeing Xiao Hailong kowtow and admit his mistake. She didn't want her grandson to kowtow to Ye Chen, considering him a loser. However, this poisonous oath was tied to her own life. She had always been a devout Buddhist, and if Xiao Hailong didn't kowtow and admit his mistakes, she would have trouble sleeping and eating, fearing retribution.
She looked at Xiao Hailong and calmly said, "Hailong, these three bows are to teach you a lesson. Don't bet casually on things you're not sure about in the future. Even if you do bet, don't bring harm to your family."
Xiao Hailong, with a sad face, replied, "Grandma, I know. I will never dare to do it again."
While speaking, he shot a venomous glance at Ye Chen, thinking, you loser, if you force me to kneel down and kowtow to you, embarrassing me, I will get back at you sooner or later!
Mrs. Xiao continued, "I am very happy to have won this contract today. Everyone must seize this time to prepare. We must take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the Emgrand Group."
Ye Chen interjected, "Grandma, since Churan has negotiated project cooperation, will the position of company director be given to Churan?"
Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows, pondering the idea. She did promise that whoever secured the contract would become the director. However, she hesitated, realizing that Xiao Churan had never been favored by her, and her worthless husband had always been a source of disgust. What if Xiao Churan rose to power, and she was no longer able to control him in the future?
At this moment, she considered taking back her promise. After all, she hadn't sworn a poisonous oath when making the promise, so she would feel at ease even if she reneged. However, she believed such words should not be spoken right after Xiao Churan signed the contract.
Instead, she proposed, "Let's do this. Tomorrow night, I will hold a banquet and invite notable figures in Jinling. During the event, I will personally announce our partnership with the Emgrand Group and the appointment of a new director."
Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a sense of relief and satisfaction.
Xiao Churan also smiled gently. From this perspective, the director's position was finally hers. She would no longer be sidelined by others, and her parents could hold their heads high.
Mrs. Xiao turned around, looked at Xiao Churan, and added, "Churan, there is one more thing. Grandma wants your help."
Xiao Churan replied hastily, "Grandma, please tell me."
Mrs. Xiao said, "I want you to contact the chairman of Dihao and invite him to attend tomorrow's banquet."
After a pause, she said expectantly, "If he can come to our banquet, it will be a great thing for our Xiao family and will make us famous."
Xiao Churan thought for a moment and said with slight hesitation, "But... last time I went there, I only met Wang Dongxue, the vice chairman of Dihao, not the chairman himself. Moreover, wouldn't it be too deliberate to hold such a banquet right after securing their project?"
Mrs. Xiao retorted, "So what? I want everyone in Jinling to know that we are now associated with the big entity Dihao. Our Xiao family will thrive in the future."
Excitement gleamed in Mrs. Xiao's eyes. The thought of those big groups and families that once looked down on the Xiao family now potentially relying on them brought joy to her heart.
Xiao Churan hesitated for a moment and then replied, "I understand, then I'll try."
Mrs. Xiao insisted, "It's not a try! You must invite him!"
Xiao Churan nodded slightly and then asked Ye Chen in a low voice, "What should I do? What if Chairman Dihao doesn't come? What if Wang Dongxue doesn't want to come either?"
Ye Chen chuckled and said, "Let's try it. Don't you have Wang Dongxue's phone number? Maybe the other party will agree as soon as you call."
The Xiao family was going to hold a banquet. In addition to showcasing the strength of the Xiao family, they would announce Xiao Churan's promotion to director during the event.
Unaware that her husband was the chairman of the Dihao Group, Xiao Churan sighed with confusion and said, "The other party is the chairman of the Dihao Group and is said to be the young master of a Yanjing family. Such an influential figure has many responsibilities. How could they have time to attend the banquet?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "You never know. Maybe the chairman of the Emgrand Group is just like me, spending every day at home with his wife, cooking and doing household chores."
Xiao Churan looked at him blankly and said in a sweet voice, "Tch! How is that possible?"
