Chapter 162: Having me here is enough!

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Xiao Hailong gave a disdainful laugh and mocked: "Ye Chen, stop putting on an act. You only know a few scum from the underground world. Do you really think you're some big shot? I really don't believe you can invite any powerful people!"

Xiao Weiwei on the side couldn't help but snort: "Ye Chen, this loser, is best at bragging. If no one comes to congratulate you at the opening ceremony today, this studio will become the laughingstock of Jin Ling tomorrow. I'd like to see how you'll get orders then!"

Hearing her words, Xiao Churan didn't say anything on the surface, but she couldn't help but feel a wave of worry inside.

An opening ceremony is, to put it bluntly, a ritual to demonstrate one's connections and resources.

If there are many guests, it proves that the company has strong connections and its strength can be reflected, especially if big shots can come. Then many people will hear about this and will give face in the future.

But if there isn't a single guest, wouldn't that be telling others that her company has no resources and no connections? How could anyone cooperate with such a company?

If the Dihao Group could send someone to attend the opening today, it would invisibly add a lot of glory to her company. However, Xiao Churan had no confidence in whether the Dihao Group would pay any attention to her.

Old Mrs. Xiao spoke at this time: "Churan, it's almost 10 o'clock, and there isn't a single guest. I don't think there's any point in opening this little workshop of yours. I advise you to come back to the Xiao Group to work. It's better to work steadily for the Xiao family in the future than to come out and be looked down upon by others."

After knowing that Xiao Churan's company was going to open, the Xiao family had also communicated with some partners who had good relationships before. After the other party knew that Xiao Churan was someone who came out of the Xiao family, they all expressed that they would not come to attend the opening ceremony and would not cooperate with Xiao Churan's studio in the future.

Therefore, Old Mrs. Xiao dared to guarantee that there wouldn't be a single powerful guest here today.

When the time came, Xiao Churan would naturally feel disheartened when she saw that no one was coming to support her studio, and she would be able to manipulate her better in the future!

At this time, Xiao Churan was indeed very anxious, biting her lower lip and feeling worried.

Ye Chen, who was beside her, held her hand and said earnestly: "Wife, even if there isn't a single guest today, so what? Having me here is enough!"

Xiao Churan looked at him, moved, and nodded gently, feeling much more grounded.

However, Old Mrs. Xiao sneered: "Ye Chen, you take yourself too seriously. What's the use of you being here? Can you bring big shots to support Churan's studio? Can you find cooperation orders for Churan's studio? Without the support of the Xiao Group behind you, you will eventually force yourselves into a dead end!"

Ye Chen said with an arrogant attitude: "Churan's company will definitely get better and better! Never mind a Xiao Group that is already on the verge of bankruptcy, even the Xiao Group in its heyday wouldn't be anything in front of Churan! How difficult is it for Churan to surpass you?"

"What a big mouth!"

Hearing Ye Chen say that the Xiao Group was on the verge of bankruptcy and that Xiao Churan could easily surpass the Xiao Group in its heyday, Old Mrs. Xiao felt that she had been greatly insulted!

She slammed her cane on the ground in anger and said angrily: "You are just a loser who married into our Xiao family. How dare you talk so boastfully here?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "You say I'm talking boastfully? Hehe, I'm just telling the truth. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

Xiao Hailong sneered a few times and said: "Alright, Ye Chen, I'll wait for you to become a big company."

Time passed minute by minute, and the time for the opening drew closer.

Xiao Churan became more and more panicked, constantly looking at her watch and looking outside with longing eyes.

Seeing her situation, Ye Chen comforted her a few times, but it didn't have any effect.

However, he wasn't in a hurry. Since he had sent an invitation to Dihao, Wang Dongxue couldn't, and wouldn't dare, not to come.

The reason she hadn't arrived yet was probably because she was preparing a gift!

Xiao Changgan took on an attitude of relying on his seniority and said: "How about it? Do you still think you have connections now?"

It was almost ten o'clock. If any guests were coming, they would have come long ago.

And now the front of the door was empty, obviously the dust had settled, and no one else would appear.

Xiao Weiwei also gloated and said: "Dad, this loser said that even if there isn't a single guest, it doesn't matter, and having him alone is enough. I really don't know how high his status can be. He doesn't really think he's some powerful person in Jin Ling, does he?"

And just at this moment, a voice from the front desk, which had been deliberately raised, suddenly came from afar.

"Li Tailai, the richest man in Haicheng, Li Zong is visiting..."

Li Tailai?

Ye Chen was a bit puzzled. Ever since the Wang family brought Yu Jinghai to set up a trap last time, and he had summoned lightning on the spot to strike Yu Jinghai to death, he hadn't seen Li Tailai again. Today was his wife's opening, and he hadn't invited him, so why did he come?

The Xiao family was also dumbfounded!

Li Tailai? The richest man in the neighboring city of Haicheng, with great strength. Why would he come here?

And after Li Tailai entered the door, he ran straight to the office where Ye Chen was standing.

The Xiao family was incredibly surprised for a moment and looked at each other. Xiao Changgan took a step out and said: "I just met a businessman from Haicheng a few days ago. It is said that he has always been close to Li Tailai. Could it be that he introduced me to Li Tailai?"

After speaking, Xiao Changgan tidied his clothes and walked forward to greet him.

Old Mrs. Xiao and the others didn't dare to put on airs and followed behind.

Seeing the fat-eared Li Tailai approach, he hurriedly went to Ye Chen's side, ignoring Xiao Changgan who was coming up to greet him, and said with incomparable surprise: "Ye... Master Ye... finally caught up."

In the eyes of everyone's incomparable surprise, Ye Chen nodded slightly and said: "Why are you here?"

Li Tailai hurriedly said respectfully: "Master Ye, your wife is opening today, how could I not come to show my support!"

At this time, Xiao Changgan walked up and interrupted excitedly: "Li Zong, you're here. Let's go inside and talk. With your status, it's not appropriate to stand here and talk..."

Li Tailai was trying to get close to Ye Chen, but was suddenly interrupted. That smiling face suddenly turned gloomy, and the aura of someone who had long been in a high position was emitted. He glanced at Xiao Changgan sideways and said coldly: "What kind of thing are you? Didn't you see that I was talking to Master Ye?"

Xiao Changgan was incredibly embarrassed, dumbfounded, and subconsciously asked: "I am Xiao Changgan of the Xiao family... May I ask if it was President Ma from Haicheng who introduced me to you?"

Li Tailai frowned slightly and said disdainfully: "I don't know you, and I don't know any President Ma. I came here today specifically to congratulate Mrs. Ye on her company's opening!" ===== CHAPTER 163 =====
