Early the next morning, Xiao Churan, armed with a cooperation proposal she had hastily prepared overnight, arrived at the Dihao Group alongside Ye Chen.
As she gazed at the towering Dihao Group building, which boasted a hundred floors, Xiao Churan felt utterly uncertain.
How could such a prestigious company as Dihao Group even consider partnering with the Xiao family?
Especially when the Xiao family dared to dream of negotiating for a share worth thirty million?
It was akin to a beggar hoping to receive a thirty-million-yuan reward from a wealthy household—completely unrealistic.
Unsurprisingly, Xiao Churan expressed her apprehensions, saying, "Dihao Group is such a huge company. I wonder if they'd even consider collaborating with the Xiao family? I heard that Wei Wei and Wang Yunfei were thrown out yesterday. Won't I also be thrown out without even meeting Wang Dongxue?"
Seeing his wife's worries, Ye Chen replied gently, "Dihao Group only throws out those without manners. My wife, who is beautiful and kind-hearted, will surely receive a warm reception! So, don't be afraid, dear. Just go ahead and negotiate."
Xiao Churan sighed, "I hope so. Wait for me here."
After saying that, Xiao Churan took a deep breath and summoned her courage to enter the gates of Dihao Group.
Ye Chen watched her from behind, then took out his phone to call Wang Dongxue.
"Dongxue, my wife has gone in. You know what to do next!"
Wang Dongxue immediately responded, "Don't worry, Young Master. I'll make sure Mrs. Ye is satisfied."
Ye Chen asked again, "By the way, I heard that Dihao Group has a deep collaboration with the Zhang family?"
Wang Dongxue replied, "Previously, their cooperation with Dihao was indeed quite close. For our new project, they also want to collaborate deeply and are submitting cooperation application materials to me. However, it ultimately depends on your wishes, Young Master."
Ye Chen said coldly, "For this new project, I don't want to see the Zhang family involved. And we shouldn't collaborate with them in the future."
Wang Dongxue quickly assured him, "You can rest assured. I'll handle it!"
...
Meanwhile, inside the Dihao Group's office building, Xiao Churan waited at the reception for her appointment. She wasn't even sure if Wang Dongxue, the Deputy Chairman of Dihao Group, would agree to see her.
Shortly afterward, an elegant female assistant approached with graceful strides. "Are you Ms. Xiao Churan? Deputy Chairman Wang is waiting for you in her office. Please follow me."
Xiao Churan nodded, puzzled because she was still waiting to be called for her appointment.
Could it be that Wang Dongxue knew she was coming?
But that didn't make sense... How could someone as famous as Wang Dongxue know about her?
Although she couldn't figure it out, Xiao Churan realized that this was a rare opportunity and quickly followed the assistant.
The assistant led Xiao Churan directly to Wang Dongxue's office.
Upon seeing Xiao Churan, Wang Dongxue stood up from her chair and greeted her respectfully, "Hello, Ms. Xiao. I'm Wang Dongxue, the Deputy Chairman of Dihao Group."
Facing the renowned and powerful woman of Jinling, Xiao Churan felt nervous and replied respectfully, "Hello, Chairman Wang. I'm here to discuss the hotel project with you. Although the Xiao family's overall strength isn't very strong, we've worked hard and earned a good reputation in the decoration business!"
As she spoke, she nervously handed over a set of documents and said, "Chairman Wang, here are the relevant introductions and qualification files of our Xiao Group. Please review them."
Wang Dongxue smiled and took the documents, glancing through them briefly before saying directly, "Ms. Xiao, I've reviewed your materials. I think the Xiao family and Dihao Group can collaborate."
"What? Are you serious?" Xiao Churan couldn't believe her ears.
Did they agree so quickly? How could it be so simple?
Wang Dongxue chuckled, "Of course, I'm serious. Although the Xiao family's conditions don't meet Dihao Group's collaboration standards, our Chairman holds a high opinion of Ms. Xiao and is willing to collaborate with you."
"Chairman?" Xiao Churan exclaimed, asking, "Who is your Chairman?"
Wang Dongxue smiled faintly and said, "Our Chairman is the Ye Young Master from the Ye Family of Yanjing."
"Ye Young Master?"
Xiao Churan furrowed her brows and said, "I don't seem to know anyone surnamed Ye, except for my husband."
Wang Dongxue nodded slightly. Ye Chen had instructed her not to disclose his identity, so she could only reveal so much.
Indeed, besides Ye Chen, Xiao Churan didn't know anyone surnamed Ye. However, she never imagined that her husband, who was an orphan and seemed to have nothing going for him, was the Ye Young Master mentioned by Wang Dongxue.
At this moment, Wang Dongxue added, "Ms. Xiao, I see that the intended cooperation share you filled in your materials is thirty million?"
Xiao Churan nodded hastily and asked somewhat hesitantly, "Is that too much?"
Wang Dongxue laughed, "Not at all. It's actually too little."
Xiao Churan was even more confused and asked urgently, "What do you mean?"
Wang Dongxue smiled and said, "Our Chairman instructed me to increase the cooperation share to sixty million."
As she spoke, Wang Dongxue took out a contract and handed it to Xiao Churan, saying, "Look, the contract has already been prepared in advance. It's for sixty million. If you think there's no issue, we can sign it now."
"What? This..."
Xiao Churan was truly stunned.
She never expected that Dihao Group, which the Xiao family had been eager to associate with, would actively prepare a contract for her!
Moreover, the contract amount was doubled!
Her grandmother's goal was thirty million, and the contract actually stated sixty million!
She suddenly recalled the meeting last night when her husband, Ye Chen, had firmly insisted that she take on this task.
Why was he so confident?
And just now, at the entrance of Dihao Group, she had been very uncertain, while he seemed full of confidence.
Could it be that he already knew the outcome?
Who exactly was he...
