Chapter 5

The two messages released by the Dihao Group completely detonated the entire Jin Ling.

Hearing that the Dihao Group had changed owners, the Xiao family finally understood why the Wang family had been kicked out by the Dihao Group.

It seemed that the new owner of the Dihao Group still didn't look down on families like the Wang family.

However, who was Young Master Ye? This person was too powerful, wasn't he? Buying the 100-billion Dihao Group just like that; even the richest man in Jin Ling didn't have such a big hand!

For a time, countless families were eager to move. On one hand, they longed to be able to connect with this mysterious Young Master Ye, and on the other hand, they also longed for their own daughters to be able to marry Young Master Ye.

Besides that, the Dihao Group's investment in a 2-billion-yuan hotel project also made the entire construction and decoration industry in Jin Ling tremble!

Two billion!

Just getting a little bit of scraps would be enough to make a big profit!

Countless companies wanted to be able to get a piece of the pie.

This naturally included Old Mrs. Xiao, who loved money like her life!

Old Mrs. Xiao was extremely excited at this time. A 2-billion big project, this was an excellent opportunity!

If the Xiao family could get a contract from it, it would truly be a case of chickens and dogs ascending to heaven!

So, she immediately ordered a family meeting to be held at home tonight to discuss how to make a breakthrough in the Dihao Group's new project. Everyone had to attend!

That night, Xiao family villa.

Because Grandma required everyone to be there, Ye Chen also went along.

He knew that Grandma wanted to hold a meeting to discuss how to get a piece of the pie from the Dihao Group's big project.

So, he wanted to take this opportunity to help his wife, Xiao Churan, gain some face!

Arriving at the Xiao family villa, Xiao Churan's cousin, Xiao Hailong, saw him and immediately mocked: "Fuck, Ye Chen, your skin is really thick, and you still have the nerve to come and see Grandma!"

Xiao Churan said with a cold face: "Stop talking nonsense. It was Grandma who required everyone in the Xiao family to be there. Ye Chen is my husband, so naturally, he is also a member of the Xiao family!"

Xiao Hailong laughed: "He counts as a hair of the Xiao family! He's just a live-in son-in-law!"

Ye Chen touched his nose and said to Xiao Churan: "Forget it, wife, don't lower yourself to his level. Let's go in quickly, so as not to keep Grandma waiting."

Xiao Churan nodded, didn't give Xiao Hailong any good looks, and took Ye Chen inside.

Seeing this, Xiao Hailong's expression also turned cold. They would look good later.

Entering the conference hall, Ye Chen and Xiao Churan found a seat in the corner and sat down.

Soon, Old Mrs. Xiao walked in, and the family meeting officially began.

Old Mrs. Xiao sat in the main seat, tapped the table, and said with high spirits: "The Xiao family has been waiting for an opportunity for these years, an opportunity to let us rank among the prominent families in Jin Ling! Now, this opportunity has finally come!"

Old Mrs. Xiao said loudly: "This time, the Dihao Group has thrown out a 2-billion big project. Whoever can win a cooperative contract from it will definitely benefit a lot!"

"And this is the first big project after the Dihao Group changed owners. For our Xiao family, it is a great opportunity!"

"If we can cooperate with the Dihao Group and leave a good impression on the Dihao Group's new owner, the Xiao family's future will definitely be limitless!"

Although Grandma was in high spirits, the people below seemed to be unmoved.

In fact, the Xiao family had been waiting to cooperate with the Dihao Group for more than a day or two. For such a long time, the Dihao Group hadn't paid any attention to the Xiao family at all. Now Grandma wanted to get a piece of the pie from the Dihao Group's new project; how could it be possible?

Seeing that everyone present was silent, Old Mrs. Xiao asked angrily: "Why? Are you all dumb? Do you have no confidence in winning a little bit of scraps from a 2-billion project?"

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to answer at all.

Grandma's expression was even angrier, and she gritted her teeth: "I'll put it here today: whoever can talk down a 30-million cooperation share from the Dihao Group will be the director of the group!"

As soon as this was said, everyone present was stunned.

Grandma had always been arbitrary, so she had never set up a director position in the group. After all, the director had great power and was almost only qualified for the future successor of the group.

Grandma now used this position as a reward, definitely hoping that there would be brave men under heavy rewards. It could be seen that she was extremely eager for the Dihao Group's project.

However, although the director position was good, it wasn't so easy to get.

In the eyes of the Xiao family, to reach cooperation with Dihao and win a 30-million contract? Stop joking. Even if Old Mrs. Xiao went out in person, the Dihao Group's executives wouldn't see her, let alone talk about any cooperation.

In the family meeting hall, it was silent.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Xiao asked with full anger: "As descendants of the Xiao family, is there no one willing to share Grandma's worries?"

After speaking, Old Mrs. Xiao looked directly at Xiao Hailong: "Hailong, this matter is left to you!"

Xiao Hailong gave a dry laugh and hurriedly said: "Grandma, now even Wang Yunfei's family has been kicked out by the Dihao Group. Our strength is even worse than the Wang family's. How could we get the Dihao Group's contract..."

Old Mrs. Xiao immediately cursed: "Loser! You haven't even tried and you deny yourself. You are even more of a loser than that loser Ye Chen!"

In fact, Old Mrs. Xiao had no bottom in her heart either, but she didn't want to be the helmsman of a second- or third-rate family forever. She dreamed that the Xiao family could go to the next level.

And this time, the Dihao Group's project was the only opportunity.

So, no matter how difficult it was, she didn't want to give up.

She had thought that Xiao Hailong, as the eldest grandson, could readily accept this task, but she didn't expect him to back down at this time!

Xiao Hailong was also very depressed in his heart. Who would want to accept such an impossible task? He was afraid that he would be driven out before he even entered the Dihao Group's gate.

At that time, not only would the matter not be done, but he would also be ridiculed and become a laughingstock, so he decided not to agree no matter what.

After cursing Xiao Hailong, Old Mrs. Xiao asked loudly: "What about the others? Is there no one who dares to accept this task?"

Ye Chen gently touched Xiao Churan with his elbow at this time and whispered: "Wife, you accept this task!"

Xiao Churan hurriedly said: "Are you crazy! It's impossible for the Dihao Group to cooperate with a small company like the Xiao family!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said confidently: "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to talk down this cooperation!"

Xiao Churan asked in surprise: "Really?"

Ye Chen said firmly: "Of course! I think you have no problem at all! Seize this opportunity, and your status in the Xiao family will soar in the future!"

Xiao Churan didn't know why, but at this moment, she actually believed Ye Chen's words in a daze.

She stood up subconsciously and said to Old Mrs. Xiao: "Grandma, I am willing to give it a try..."
