This person was too amazing! Buying a 100-billion Emperor Group just like that; even the richest man in Jin Ling didn't have such a big hand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, countless families were restless. On one hand, they longed to build a connection with this mysterious Young Master Ye, and on the other hand, they also longed for their own daughters to marry Young Master Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this, the Emperor Group's plan to invest in a 2-billion-yuan hotel project also made the entire construction and decoration industry in Jin Ling tremble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two billion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if you just got a little bit of the scraps, you could make a huge profit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless companies wanted to get a piece of the pie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This naturally included the money-grubbing Old Mrs. Xiao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Xiao was extremely excited at this moment. A 2-billion big project, this was an excellent opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Xiao family could get a contract from it, it would truly be a case of the chickens and dogs ascending to heaven!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she immediately ordered a family meeting to be held at home tonight to discuss how to make a breakthrough in the Emperor Group's new project. Everyone had to attend!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Xiao family villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Old Mrs. Xiao required everyone to be there, Ye Chen went along too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the Old Mrs. Xiao wanted to hold a meeting to discuss how to get a piece of the pie from the Emperor Group's big project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he wanted to take this opportunity to help his wife, Xiao Churan, gain some face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the Xiao family villa, Xiao Churan's cousin Xiao Hailong immediately mocked him upon seeing him: \"Damn, Ye Chen, your skin is really thick. You still have the face to come see Grandmother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan said with a cold face: \"Stop talking nonsense. Grandmother required everyone in the Xiao family to be here. Ye Chen is my husband, so naturally, he is also a member of the Xiao family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hailong laughed: \"He counts as a hair of the Xiao family! He's just a live-in son-in-law!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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 we don't keep Grandmother waiting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan nodded, not giving Xiao Hailong any pleasant look, and took Ye Chen inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Xiao Hailong's expression also turned cold. They would get what was coming to them later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the conference hall, Ye Chen and Xiao Churan found a spot in the corner and sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Old Mrs. Xiao walked in, and the family meeting officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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 past few years, an opportunity that can let us rank among the wealthy families of Jin Ling! Now, this opportunity has finally arrived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Xiao said loudly: \"This time, the Emperor Group has thrown out a 2-billion big project. Whoever can get a cooperation contract from it will definitely benefit greatly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this is the first big project after the Emperor Group changed owners. For our Xiao family, it is a great opportunity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we can cooperate with the Emperor Group and leave a good impression on the Emperor Group's new owner, then the Xiao family's future will definitely be limitless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Old Mrs. Xiao was in high spirits, the people below seemed unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the Xiao family had wanted to cooperate with the Emperor Group for more than a day or two. For such a long time, the Emperor Group hadn't paid any attention to the Xiao family. How could the Old Mrs. Xiao get a piece of the pie from the Emperor Group's new project now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that everyone present was silent, Old Mrs. Xiao asked angrily: \"What? Are you all mute? Do you have no confidence in getting even a little bit of scraps from a 2-billion project?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at each other, not daring to answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Mrs. Xiao's expression became even angrier, and she gritted her teeth: \"I'll put it this way today: whoever can negotiate a cooperation share of 30 million from the Emperor Group will be the group's director!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Mrs. Xiao had always been arbitrary, so she had never set up a director position in the group. After all, a director had great power and was almost only qualified to be held by the future successor of the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Mrs. Xiao was now using this position as a reward, definitely hoping that there would be brave people under heavy rewards. It could be seen that she was extremely eager for the Emperor Group's project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although the director position was good, it wasn't easy to get.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the eyes of the Xiao family, to achieve cooperation with the Emperor and get a 30-million contract? Stop joking. Even if Old Mrs. Xiao went in person, the Emperor Group's executives wouldn't see her, let alone talk about any cooperation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the family conference hall, it was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Old Mrs. Xiao asked with full anger: \"As descendants of the Xiao family, is there no one willing to share the worries for the Xiao family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Old Mrs. Xiao's gaze went directly to Xiao Hailong: \"Hailong, this matter is left to you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hailong laughed dryly and hurriedly said: \"Grandmother, now even Wang Yunfei's family has been kicked out by the Emperor Group. Our strength is even a notch worse than the Wang family's. How could we possibly get the Emperor Group's contract...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Xiao immediately cursed: \"Loser! You deny yourself before even trying. You are even more of a loser than that loser Ye Chen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Old Mrs. Xiao had no bottom line in her heart, but she didn't want to be the helmsman of a second or third-rate family forever. She dreamed of the Xiao family moving to a higher level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this Emperor Group project was the only opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, no matter how difficult it was, she didn't want to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She originally thought that Xiao Hailong, as the eldest grandson, could readily take on this task, but she didn't expect him to back down at this time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Hailong was also depressed. Who would want to take on such an impossible task? He was afraid that before he even entered the Emperor Group's gate, he would be kicked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, not only would the matter not be accomplished, but he would also be ridiculed and become a laughingstock, so he decided not to agree no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Old Mrs. Xiao finished cursing Xiao Hailong, she asked loudly: \"What about the others? Does no one dare to take on this task?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen gently nudged Xiao Churan with his elbow and whispered: \"Wife, you take on this task!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan hurriedly said: \"Are you crazy! It's impossible for the Emperor Group to cooperate with a small company like the Xiao family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled slightly and said confidently: \"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to negotiate this cooperation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan asked in surprise: \"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said firmly: \"Of course! I think you have absolutely no problem! Seize this opportunity, and your status in the Xiao family will soar in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan didn't know why, but at this moment, she actually believed Ye Chen's words in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood up subconsciously and said to Old Mrs. Xiao: \"Grandmother, I am willing to try...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1345,"2026-06-17T15:39:23.678Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d8b023024efcb3eb0ed4c588bd546ec301ae31ce389931a13c19fbf7a9ae3322","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-6","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-4",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
