When a family of four went to Kempinski for dinner, Zhang Wen Hao was sulking at home.
He also saw the post from Emperor Group, feeling deeply troubled.
He had thought that Xiao Churan would never be able to secure the contract with Emperor Group. Yet, within a morning's work, she smoothly clinched a sixty million contract. Reflecting on how he had threatened her at her home yesterday, wasn't that just humiliating himself?
Even Xiao Hailong called to complain, starting off with, "Wen Hao, you really have no sense of decency! I've been helping you create opportunities to pursue my cousin, and yet you're helping her secure a deal with Emperor Group. Aren't you just making things difficult for me?"
Zhang Wen Hao was genuinely innocent. What on earth? He hadn't helped Xiao Churan at all!
Then, Xiao Hailong asked again, "Wen Hao, tell me the truth, did you sleep with my cousin?"
Zhang Wen Hao couldn't bring himself to deny it. To say it had nothing to do with him would be admitting his incompetence, wouldn't it?
So, he just mumbled, "Yeah, sorry Hailong, I'll make it up to you if I have the chance."
"I knew it!" sighed Xiao Hailong, then hastily inquired, "Wen Hao, my cousin should still be a virgin, right? She seems to have never let that useless guy touch her. You've hit the jackpot this time!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wen Hao felt a surge of joy.
Great! Xiao Churan was still a virgin!
So, why not publicly claim that he slept with her? That way, he could even sow discord between her and her husband.
Thinking of this, he grinned at Xiao Hailong and said, "Hailong, your cousin is indeed still a virgin, and it's really enjoyable, haha!"
Xiao Hailong said bitterly, "Then, in the future, you really can't forget my benefits, Wen Hao!"
"Don't worry!" Zhang Wen Hao readily agreed.
After hanging up with Xiao Hailong, Zhang Wen Hao's father suddenly called.
As soon as he picked up the phone, he blurted out, "Wen Hao, something's wrong! Emperor Group has stopped all cooperation with us! Have you offended anyone these days?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wen Hao felt like he had been plunged into an icy abyss.
Emperor Group stopped all cooperation with the Zhang family? Wouldn't that mean a huge loss for the family?
He blurted out, "What's going on, Dad? I haven't offended anyone these days! Have you offended anyone?"
Zhang Wen Hao's father said with frustration, "I haven't either! I've been in the company these days and haven't offended anyone..."
Zhang Wen Hao nervously asked, "Oh, could it be that the new chairman of Emperor Group is planning a reshuffle?"
"It's very likely!" Zhang Wen Hao's father suddenly realized, "With the new chairman taking over, I haven't had the chance to meet them. I've mentioned it to Wang Dongxue several times, but she always says their chairman doesn't meet with guests."
"What should we do?" Zhang Wen Hao asked.
His father thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right, the Xiao family is having a banquet tomorrow night. They said they've invited the chairman of Emperor Group. Let's go there and find a chance to meet them!"
"Deal!" Zhang Wen Hao immediately responded. "Let's go together tomorrow!"
...
The next day, it was the most important moment for the Xiao family, and everyone in the Xiao family was excited beyond measure.
Because after a night of anticipation, news spread throughout Jinling that the Xiao family had secured a contract with Emperor Group and had invited the chairman of Emperor Group to attend the family banquet!
In preparation for this banquet, Ye Chen put on his most expensive suit and headed to the hotel where the event was being held.
As he arrived at the hotel entrance and stepped out of his car, Ye Chen saw a Porsche screech to a halt right in front of him.
Soon after, Zhang Wen Hao, impeccably dressed in designer suit and meticulously groomed, stepped out of the car.
Promptly, hotel staff approached, warmly greeting Zhang Wen Hao.
Zhang Wen Hao clearly noticed Ye Chen, a hint of disdain in his eyes. He looked Ye Chen up and down and smirked, "Where did you find this knockoff suit? Wearing it makes you look like a stray dog."
Ye Chen responded calmly, "What's it to you?"
Zhang Wen Hao smirked, a trace of mockery on his face. "It might not be anything to me, but your wife seems to have some connection with me now…"
Ye Chen furrowed his brows slightly. "What connection?"
People around them couldn't help but stop and listen in.
Since last night, there had been a rumor spreading like wildfire in the circle. It claimed that Xiao Churan was only able to secure the cooperation with Emperor Group because she had offered herself to Zhang Wen Hao. Otherwise, given her and the Xiao family's capabilities, how could they have possibly won over Emperor Group?
Now, it seemed that there might be some truth to it after all.
Seeing the crowd gathering around, Zhang Wen Hao tried to show off, saying to Ye Chen, "What do you think? Why do you think Churan could secure the cooperation with Emperor Group?"
Ye Chen looked at Zhang Wen Hao coldly and asked, "Why?"
With a smirk, Zhang Wen Hao said, "Of course, it's because of me. Churan is now my woman, so I went all out to help her secure the cooperation with Emperor Group. If you're smart, you'll divorce her sooner rather than later. It's all part of growing up."
Though the surrounding people had already suspected, hearing Zhang Wen Hao bluntly say it still surprised them greatly.
Xiao Churan had actually secured the cooperation with Emperor Group by sleeping with Zhang Wen Hao!
"Because of you?" Ye Chen heard this and couldn't help but chuckle. "You think you're worthy?"
