Chapter 22: Mother-in-law was deceived
Everyone returned to the banquet hall, and the old lady took Xiao Churan's hand onto the stage.
She put on an intimate posture and said, "I'm really sorry just now, it was my old fool who made a mistake. In fact, thanks to Churan this time, she is the outstanding descendant of our Xiao family. Churan also contributed a lot to the cooperation between the Xiao family and Emgrand this time."
Wang Dongxue stood beside her, glanced at her disdainfully, waved her hand to stop her from continuing, and interrupted, "I'll correct you. In this cooperation, Ms. Xiao Churan didn't just contribute a lot, but completely facilitated it with her own strength, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
These words were extremely impolite, but everyone was used to it. With Emgrand's status, even if Wang Dongxue slapped Old Mrs. Xiao twice in public, she wouldn't dare to say anything.
Old Mrs. Xiao nodded hurriedly, "Vice Chairman Wang is right, everything is Churan's credit. From now on, Churan is the director of our Xiao family! Fully responsible for the cooperation between the Xiao family and the Emgrand Group!"
Wang Dongxue then showed a smile, shook hands with Xiao Churan and said, "I hope we can cooperate happily in the future."
Xiao Churan was still a bit confused and could only nod.
Thunderous applause broke out in the audience, and everyone's eyes on Xiao Churan were full of heat.
Who did this woman hook up with! The Emgrand Group actually valued her so much!
Xiao Churan was also confused. She turned to look at Ye Chen. At this time, the situation was exactly the same as Ye Chen's words just now. Old Mrs. Xiao returned the director position that should have belonged to her.
Until the banquet ended and she returned home, Xiao Churan was still in a daze.
Recalling what Ye Chen had said before, she couldn't help but feel some doubts in her heart. In the past few days, Ye Chen seemed to have become a little different.
It seemed that there were many things about him that she didn't understand, as if covered in layers of mist.
That night, Xiao Churan became famous in Jin Ling!
Everyone knew that the Xiao family had an outstanding descendant who could actually make the Emgrand Group help her with all their might!
It seems that with her, the revitalization of the Xiao family is just around the corner.
The next morning, Xiao Churan woke up early and rushed to the company refreshed.
Today was her first day as director, and she hoped she could go all out and do this well.
Ye Chen, after getting up, started doing housework as usual.
When Ye Chen finished the housework and was about to go to the vegetable market to buy groceries for lunch, he suddenly received a call from his mother-in-law Ma Lan.
After the call was connected, his mother-in-law's extremely anxious voice came from the other side: "Ye Chen, you must rush to Ping'an Road within ten minutes, otherwise I won't spare you when I get home!"
After speaking, she hung up the phone.
Ye Chen was confused. His mother-in-law had disappeared early in the morning, and she suddenly called at this time, as if something urgent had happened.
Although Ye Chen was very disgusted with this mother-in-law, he didn't dare to neglect. After hurriedly tidying up, he went out, hailed a taxi, and rushed to Ping'an Road.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a group of old men and women aggressively surrounding the entrance of an insurance company with closed doors.
And his mother-in-law was standing at the front of the team, holding a banner, shouting with an angry face: "Garbage Huaxin, scam platform, we want to defend our rights, return my hard-earned money!"
Ye Chen hurriedly walked up and asked, "Mom, you called me over, what's the matter?"
Just as he was talking, the protest slogans rang in his ears again, and the desperate shouting of the old men and women made people's eardrums ring.
Ma Lan grabbed Ye Chen, let him take her place, and ordered, "Come, you shout this slogan for me. I've been shouting all morning, and my throat is hoarse."
Ye Chen didn't know why, but he could only protest with several old men and women. While shouting slogans, he occasionally asked an old man beside him, and only then did he understand what was going on.
It turned out that this Huaxin Insurance Co., Ltd. operated some insurance products with very high returns.
And this group of old men and women were attracted by the high returns, and everyone bought a lot of insurance products under the company's name, becoming their customers.
Normally, it was time for dividends, but who would have thought that when this group of old men and women came to withdraw cash, they found that the entire company was closed, with only a few employees at the door, using clumsy excuses to put everyone off.
This group of old men and women realized that they had been scammed.
No wonder the mother-in-law was in such a hurry to call him over and let him defend his rights with her.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen had a headache and couldn't help asking his mother-in-law: "Mom, how much insurance did you buy?"
Ma Lan said anxiously, "They said that buying insurance to eat dividends is a sure-fire business. I got hot-headed and bought their products with all the family's savings..."
Ye Chen was shocked and said, "What? You bought financial insurance with all the family's money?"
After hearing this, Ma Lan immediately became angry and cursed, "Do you have a mouth? Speaking so loudly, are you afraid I'm not embarrassed enough?!"
As she spoke, she continued to scold Ye Chen, saying, "If you were capable, would I still buy their company's insurance products? If I don't count on insurance for retirement, can I count on you, a loser?"
This guy, it's fine that he doesn't have the ability to support his family, but now he dares to watch the excitement and not think it's a big deal?!
Immediately, she said to Ye Chen: "Tell you, continue to shout slogans for me here, not for a moment!"
Ye Chen had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay Mom."
At this time, several aunts walked over, looked at Ye Chen up and down, and asked Ma Lan: "Sister Lan, is this your son-in-law?"
As she spoke, she scanned Ye Chen's clothes and shook her head with a mocking smile: "Why does he look so poor? Not as good as my son-in-law."
"Yes, these clothes are too cheap! Not even as good as my old lady!"
Several people talked to each other, and the mockery in their words was extremely harsh.
Ye Chen didn't care at all. They were all old ladies who had half their bodies in the soil, and now they had lost their life savings. There was no need for him to be as knowledgeable as them.
Ma Lan was also very angry at this time. The more she looked at Ye Chen, the more she disliked him, and blurted out, "You guys just watch, I'll let my daughter divorce him in a few days! Change to a better son-in-law!"
Ye Chen sneered in his heart, a better son-in-law? Even if you add all these rich second generations in Jin Ling, they can't compare to one of his fingers.
Ma Lan was worried at this time. Ye Chen was a loser, and at most he could only help her shout slogans.
If she wanted to get her investment back, she still needed someone with real ability to come and help solve it.
Unfortunately, the family of Zhang Wenhao, who had been pursuing her daughter, went bankrupt. Otherwise, she could have asked him to help!
Right!
Ma Lan suddenly remembered Wang Yunkai, the cousin of Wang Yunfei, whom she met at the family banquet yesterday.
Seeing his fawning appearance toward her daughter at that time, she guessed that he had some ideas about her daughter.
Although the Wang family is not as good as the previous Zhang family, it is still a big family. If she called him over, he should have a way.
Just right, Wang Yunkai left her a business card yesterday, so she immediately took out her phone and dialed Wang Yunkai's number.
