Xiao Churan sighed as she witnessed her parents constantly targeting Ye Chen. "Mom, Dad, this has nothing to do with Ye Chen. I just don't want to continue being looked down upon by them. Haven't we suffered enough over the years?" Xiao Churan's mother blurted out, "But you can't accept this job either. Even if your grandmother went, they wouldn't pay attention to her!" Ye Chen watched the scene before him with a bitter smile. His snobbish in-laws probably wouldn't even believe that he was the boss of the Emperor Hao Group.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door. "Coming, coming..." Xiao Churan's mother, Ma Lan, sighed as she opened the door. Ye Chen glanced over and saw a young man standing at the door, dressed in Armani, exuding elegance and charm, with a Patek Philippe watch on his wrist worth at least three to five million. Xiao Churan's mother exclaimed excitedly, "Oh my, it's Wen Hao! What brings you here?"
The person who came was Zhang Wen Hao, the scion of the Zhang family who had been pursuing Xiao Churan. Zhang Wen Hao smiled and said, "Auntie, I heard that Churan has taken on the cooperation with the Emperor Hao Group, so I came over to offer her some advice." "Oh my! You are truly our family's savior!" Ma Lan was extremely excited, looking at Zhang Wen Hao as if he were her own son-in-law. She quickly welcomed him in, saying as they walked, "Wen Hao, do you have a way to help Churan secure the contract with the Emperor Hao Group?"
Zhang Wen Hao smiled and nodded, ignoring Ye Chen who was standing nearby, as if he were looking at a roadside ant. He went straight to Xiao Churan and said with a smile, "Churan, you didn't even tell me about such a big matter. But don't worry, the Emperor Hao Group and our family's company have cooperation. I'll ask my dad to make a call and do everything possible to help you."
In fact, Zhang Wen Hao's father didn't have that much power. He only said that to show off in front of Xiao Churan. Xiao Churan had always known that Zhang Wen Hao was interested in her, so she coldly said, "Zhang Wen Hao, I appreciate your kindness, but I'll figure it out myself." Ma Lan couldn't believe it and exclaimed, "Churan, are you out of your mind? Young Master Zhang came here to help you out of good will, how can you speak like this?"
Xiao Churan remained silent, but Ye Chen, who was standing aside, asked Zhang Wen Hao with interest, "Master Zhang, I'm curious, how can you help Churan? The Emperor Hao Group is so big, you shouldn't be able to influence them, right? Do you have a way to get them to sign a contract with Churan?"
Zhang Wen Hao sneered disdainfully and said, "What do you know? Our Zhang family has always been in deep cooperation with the Emperor Hao Group. This time, the Emperor Hao Group's 20 billion project, our family can get at least one third! By then, I'll ask my dad to directly allocate tens of millions from this one third and subcontract it to Churan. Won't that help her complete the task?"
Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my! I didn't expect the Zhang family's relationship with the Emperor Hao Group to be so deep!"
Zhang Wen Hao coldly hummed and said, "Of course! In Jinling, who doesn't know that our Zhang family has close cooperation with the Emperor Hao Group?"
After speaking, Zhang Wen Hao stared at Ye Chen, disdainfully saying, "Ye Chen, I advise you, as a frog at the bottom of the well, it's better to leave Churan voluntarily. As a man like you, you can't give her happiness, you'll only hold her back."
Xiao Churan coldly said at this time, "I'm sorry, Master Zhang, I don't need your help, and please don't speak disrespectfully to my husband!"
Zhang Wen Hao was stunned and said angrily, "Churan, I'm helping you like this, and you still want to stand up for this waste? What does he have that's worth defending?"
Xiao Churan said seriously, "He's not a waste, he's my husband!"
Zhang Wen Hao's face was filled with gloom and anger. He said, "Fine! If you won't accept a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit! I want to see what you can do to solve this problem! If you can't handle it by then, don't blame me for not giving you a chance!"
With that, Zhang Wen Hao turned and slammed the door shut as he left. Ma Lan wanted to catch up and explain, but Zhang Wen Hao was already far away. She was so angry that she slapped her thigh and pointed at Ye Chen, scolding, "You've made me so angry! What can a waste like you do besides holding Churan back? Young Master Zhang came here to help, and you've managed to anger him away!"
Ye Chen replied lightly, "Mom, he's just talking. He can't even secure cooperation with the Emperor Hao Group himself, so how could he possibly help Churan?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Ma Lan exclaimed in frustration. "The Zhang family can secure one-third of the projects from the Emperor Hao Group. What do you know?"
Ye Chen smirked inwardly. "I don't know what capabilities the Zhang family has, but I do know that my Emperor Hao Group will never collaborate with the Zhang family! Even if the Emperor Hao Group has had many collaborations with the Zhang family in the past, from now on, all of those collaborations will be terminated!"
Unaware of Ye Chen's thoughts, Xiao Churan said to her mother, "Mom, don't blame Ye Chen. Let's talk about it after I return from the Emperor Hao Group."
Sighing heavily, Ma Lan felt that life was unfair. She had married a useless husband, and her daughter had married an even more useless man. What kind of karma had she accumulated?
