Chapter 163: Big shots gather!

Li Tailai’s words left the Xiao family shocked.

He actually came specifically to congratulate Xiao Churan?!

This was the richest man in Haicheng!

When did Ye Chen and Xiao Churan get connected to such a person?!

Xiao Changqian was incredibly shocked, and he hadn't expected the other party to be so rude to him, scolding him right away. His face couldn't hold up, so he hurriedly retreated a few steps and stood to the side.

Xiao Weiwei was full of doubt and whispered to Xiao Hailong beside her: "Is this fatty really the richest man in Haicheng? Why does it feel like he’s an actor hired to play a part? How could the richest man be so respectful to a loser..."

Xiao Hailong shook his head and whispered back: "I don't think so either..."

None of the people present had ever met Li Tailai.

But the Li Tailai who was currently fawning over Ye Chen was completely different from the ruthless Li Tailai in the rumors.

At this time, Li Tailai took out an exquisite box from his bag, handed it to Xiao Churan, and said with a respectful smile: "Congratulations on the opening of Mrs. Ye’s company. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please, you must accept it."

Xiao Churan was a bit at a loss. She hadn't invited Li Tailai, didn't even know him, and didn't know if she should accept the gift.

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Wife, this is Mr. Li’s kind intention. Just accept it..."

Only then did Xiao Churan take the box. After thanking him, she prepared to put the gift away.

But she heard Xiao Weiwei say: "Xiao Churan, Mr. Li gave you a gift, why don't you let us see it too?"

"That’s right. Mr. Li is a big boss with a net worth of hundreds of billions. The gift he gives must be extraordinary," Xiao Hailong added.

Xiao Churan looked at Ye Chen before opening the gift box under everyone’s gaze.

Inside the exquisite gift box was a crystal-clear jade pendant.

This pendant had no impurities at all, was emerald green throughout, and appeared incredibly transparent under the light.

Old Mrs. Xiao also stared fixedly at this pendant, her two aged eyes completely lost in it.

She had already recognized that this pendant was the "Clear Wind and Bright Moon" from the Yanjing auction a while back!

It had sold for a high price of 50 million at the time, and it was said to have been bought by a tycoon from Haicheng. She hadn't expected it to be Li Tailai.

Looking at the pendant, her eyes turned red.

If the Xiao family could have such a pendant, it would be enough to stage a comeback!

Xiao Weiwei also said with some jealousy: "I didn't expect someone would actually come. I wonder what kind of dog luck they had to know Mr. Li..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the building’s front desk shout loudly: "A gift for Ms. Xiao Churan has arrived!"

Immediately after, a rumbling sound came from outside.

Everyone walked out of the building together and looked up, only to see that the building’s plaza had been cleared, and a massive helicopter was slowly descending.

Following that, the entire building’s staff became busy.

One basket of flowers after another, and one gift after another, were moved from the helicopter to the entrance of Xiao Churan’s office.

The entire building was in an uproar. It was just a company opening, yet it had such a grand scene, even deploying a helicopter!

The crowd craned their necks, sizing up the few people standing at the company entrance.

Xiao Churan was bewildered. Although she had invited some people, those people didn't have much of a relationship with her, and besides, she didn't know anyone capable of operating a helicopter.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed: "Isn't that flower basket the legendary limited edition Tiffany model? It seems like this one basket alone is worth over a million!"

"Wow, look at the flowers in these baskets, I don't think I’ve ever seen them before! They’re so beautiful!"

"That’s a Dutch tulip! Top-tier Dutch tulips, similar to our domestic orchids, but very precious. A single stalk costs thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. And there are Blue Enchantresses, Juliet roses... all world-class precious flower species! These flowers can't be cultivated in our country at all; they have to be air-freighted from abroad!"

"No wonder they had to deploy a helicopter! They probably flew them to the airport from abroad and then used the helicopter to bring them directly here!"

"Looking at it this way, just the Tiffany basket alone is a million, and the precious flowers inside might also be a million..."

"There are... there are twenty baskets in total... the total price is over 40 million?"

"My god, this is true wealth! For an opening ceremony, they spent over 40 million just on flower baskets?!"

"That’s right! And these flowers won't last long. I’m afraid they’ll wither in a few days. This is truly too extravagant..."

Old Mrs. Xiao, standing to the side, couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

She also loved gardening and had planted many different kinds of flowers in the courtyard of the Xiao family villa.

However, she had never been willing to buy world-famous precious flower species.

Especially the classic Dutch red and white tulips; a single stalk cost nearly ten thousand.

Xiao Weiwei also stared blankly, whispering: "Grandma, I remember you especially liked those Dutch tulips, but in the end, you couldn't bear to buy them and could only buy Henan tulips that cost a few hundred yuan each. How could these people give Xiao Churan such precious gifts!"

Thinking of her Henan tulips compared to someone else’s Dutch tulips, the old lady felt the difference was truly a hundred thousand miles!

Thus, she felt even more jealous and couldn't help but think to herself: if only she could take a few when she left, plant them in her own garden, and see if they could survive...

Just then, someone outside shouted loudly:

"Vice Chairman of Emgrand Group, Ms. Wang Dongxue; Ms. Song Wanting of the Song family; Head of the Wang family, Wang Zhenggang; Head of the Qin family, Qin Gang; and Divine Physician Shi Tianqi, congratulate Mrs. Ye on her company’s opening, wishing the company rolling wealth and prosperous business!"

It wasn't just the Xiao family that was shocked; even the entire staff of Yongxing Building was stunned!

Although they were a property under the Emgrand Group, the Emgrand Group rarely asked about them. They hadn't expected the group’s Vice Chairman, along with so many Jin Ling big shots, to come to this unremarkable building just for the opening of Xiao Churan’s company!

So many big shots gathering at Yongxing Building was a matter of great honor for the building itself.

This also made many people wonder in their hearts: what kind of background does this newly opened company have to be able to get so many big shots to congratulate it at the same time?

The people of the Xiao family were also dumbfounded, each of them wondering in the depths of their hearts: just how much face does this Xiao Churan have?!

Xiao Churan herself was also dumbfounded. Just hearing these names was enough to make her very panicked.

After all, the entire Xiao family was now down and out, and Xiao Churan knew very well that she could only be considered a newcomer who had just started a business, was penniless, and had no foundation in Jin Ling at all.

So, how could these big shots personally come to support her opening ceremony?

Could it be... because of her husband, Ye Chen?!
