With a thunderous roar, everyone was stunned. Then, each person hastily pulled out their phones to find the official WeChat account of the Emperor Group!
Sure enough!
The official service account certified by the Emperor Group released a post!
"The Emperor Group's 2 billion hotel project, signing the first cooperation partner, Vice Chairman Wang Dongxue of the group and the representative of Jinling Xiaoshi Group, Xiao Churan, signed a 60 million yuan decoration contract!"
Seeing this headline, everyone went crazy!
Xiao Churan actually managed to negotiate the project! And the amount doubled!
It's only been over half an hour!
How could this be so easy?!
This is completely illogical!
Xiao Hailong was shocked and regretful in his heart!
Before today, no matter the status or identity, Xiao Churan was incomparable to himself.
If he had accepted this task yesterday, whether he succeeded or not, he wouldn't have given Xiao Churan a chance to show his face!
But he actually refused because he was afraid of failure!
Not only did he refuse, but Xiao Churan actually succeeded!
This is simply slapping oneself in the face!
Mrs. Xiao immediately picked up the contract, carefully read it again, and laughed excitedly, "Good! Good! Good! Churan, you have achieved great merit!"
Then she asked again, "How did you do it?"
Xiao Churan said, "Thanks to Vice Chairman Wang Dongxue, she has a very favorable impression of our Xiao family."
In fact, Xiao Churan wanted to tell the truth, but upon careful thought, he didn't even know who the chairman of the Emperor Group was, and speaking out might not get any response.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hailong felt even more uncomfortable!
No wonder Xiao Churan could secure the contract!
It turned out that Wang Dongxue of the Emperor Group herself had a high regard for the Xiao family!
Then wouldn't anyone be able to handle it?
He really missed out on a great opportunity!
At this moment, Ye Chen spoke, "Hailong, do you remember our bet?"
Xiao Hailong's expression suddenly turned ugly as if he had eaten shit.
How could he not remember the bet? The loser had to kneel and kowtow to the other three times in public.
Xiao Churan got the contract, so it was clear he was the loser...
No way!
How could he kneel and kowtow to this garbage loser!
Absolutely impossible!
So he gritted his teeth and said immediately, "Ye Chen, who do you think you are? Just a waste who married into our family, living off us every day, and you want me to kneel and kowtow to you?"
Ye Chen calmly said, "Indeed, I am a parasite, but we made an oath yesterday. Whoever reneges, may their fathers, mothers, grandfathers, and grandmothers die!"
Ye Chen deliberately emphasized the words "grandmothers."
Sure enough!
Mrs. Xiao's expression immediately turned extremely ugly!
She stared at Xiao Hailong closely, her voice chilling as she questioned him, "What? Do you want me to die?"
Xiao Hailong panicked for a moment and blurted out, "Grandmother, you can't be fooled by Ye Chen! He wants to disgrace your grandson and disgrace you!"
At this moment, Xiao Hailong felt even more uncomfortable in his heart because he could see that his grandmother was really angry!
Mrs. Xiao, seeing Xiao Hailong willing to go against his own oath just for his own face, slammed the table suddenly and angrily asked, "Are you determined to break your oath?"
"Grandmother, I..." Xiao Hailong stammered, quickly making a calculation in his mind.
If he followed through with the bet, kowtowing to Ye Chen and admitting his mistake, he would lose face.
But if he didn't follow through, angered his grandmother, he would lose everything he had in the Xiao family!
Thinking of this, although he was unwilling in his heart, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Fine! I admit defeat!"
Ye Chen smiled as he watched him, saying nothing, just waiting for him to kneel and kowtow.
Xiao Hailong felt as if his legs were filled with lead, moving step by step difficultly toward Ye Chen.
He hated himself, trembling all over, clenching his teeth tightly, but his legs still softened, and he knelt down.
Thump!
Some onlookers even quietly took out their phones.
Xiao Hailong lowered his head, his voice trembling, "I was wrong!"
After saying that, he bowed down and knocked his head to the ground with a clang.
Ye Chen said, "What did you say? I didn't hear you clearly, speak up."
Xiao Hailong endured the humiliation and kowtowed again, "I was wrong!"
Ye Chen sneered, "Oh, so you admit you were wrong. What exactly were you wrong about?"
Xiao Hailong felt like killing Ye Chen, but he still had one more kowtow to go.
So he clenched his teeth and said, "I was wrong to doubt Churan's ability..."
After saying that, he knocked his head again!
Ye Chen felt extremely pleased!
He had been fed up with Xiao Hailong for a long time. Seizing this opportunity to make him kneel and admit his mistake was truly satisfying!
Xiao Churan watched all this in astonishment, feeling that her husband was suddenly different from before!
She couldn't quite pinpoint what exactly was different about him now.
However, recalling the confident demeanor her husband had when he made the bet with Xiao Hailong yesterday, it seemed like he had anticipated his victory from the beginning?
Why did he have such strong confidence after all?
