At that moment, an unbelievable thought suddenly popped into Xiao Churan's mind.
Could it be that the Ye Gongzi mentioned by Wang Dongxue was actually her husband, Ye Chen?
But then, she quickly dismissed the idea as too fantastical.
How could it be?
Ye Chen was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage!
Yet, who else in this world would be so kind to her?
Thirty million was already a stretch, but they had given sixty million without hesitation...
She couldn't resist asking Wang Dongxue, "Deputy Director Wang, may I ask, is your chairman named Ye Chen?"
Wang Dongxue's heart skipped a beat. The young master had instructed her not to reveal his identity and only to say that she belonged to the Ye family. If Madam guessed it correctly, she would be the one to blame.
So she quickly replied, "Miss Xiao, please don't inquire further. Our chairman is from a prestigious family in Jingying, and his identity is highly confidential. I am not authorized to disclose it."
Xiao Churan nodded slightly. Wang Dongxue's mention of the prestigious Jingying family brought her back to reality.
Ye Chen was an orphan; he couldn't possibly be from a prestigious Jingying family. It seemed she had overthought it.
...
As she left Wang Dongxue's office, Xiao Churan was still in a daze.
In her hand was the sixty-million cooperation agreement between the Xiao family and Dihao Group.
It all felt like a dream.
At the entrance of Dihao Group, Xiao Churan spotted Ye Chen's figure and excitedly ran up to him, saying, "Ye Chen, I actually made it!"
Ye Chen chuckled inwardly. Your husband is the boss of Dihao Group; how could you not make it?
But he pretended to be surprised and said, "You managed to close such a difficult deal? You're amazing, my wife!"
Xiao Churan said, "Oh, it's not me. It's like Dihao Group is giving it away for free."
"Why do you say that?" Ye Chen asked deliberately.
Xiao Churan was afraid that if she mentioned the chairman of Dihao Group, Ye Chen might feel jealous. So she quickly said, "Oh, it's a long story. Let's go to the company now and tell everyone the good news."
Ye Chen laughed, "Okay! Now that *ssh*l* Xiao Hailong has to keep his bet and kneel down to me!"
Xiao Churan nodded and said, "He's always arrogant and contemptuous of others. It's time to teach him a lesson!"
Actually, Xiao Churan had her own temper. Those like Xiao Hailong looked down on her and her husband. Now that she had secured the cooperation, it was indeed time to make them behave better in the future.
After more than ten minutes, the couple arrived at Xiao's Group.
In the conference room, everyone in the Xiao family looked strange.
They knew Xiao Churan had gone to Dihao Group early in the morning, but no one believed she could pull it off. They were all waiting to laugh at her.
Unexpectedly, she came back so quickly.
When Xiao Churan and Ye Chen entered the conference room, everyone looked at them with sarcastic expressions.
Xiao Hailong couldn't help but say, "Hey, Churan, you're back after just half an hour? You didn't even get past Dihao Group's door, did you? Hahaha!"
His sister, Xiao Weiwei, also mocked, "Hey, Sister Churan, failing in less than an hour, have you set a new record?"
Xiao Lao Tai's face also darkened. The Dihao Group project was indeed extremely difficult. Even if Xiao Churan couldn't close the deal, she should at least be cautious, shouldn't she? Giving up so quickly angered her greatly.
So, Xiao Lao Tai stared at her coldly and said, "Xiao Churan, you disappoint me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately furrowed his brows.
Were these people too disgusting? Without asking about the outcome, they mocked her without knowing the full story?
Especially that *ssh*l* Xiao Hailong, what are you proud of? You'll be kneeling down to me soon!
Xiao Churan had come with excitement, but now the words of the crowd were like a bucket of cold water. With anger in her heart, she said, "I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, but Wang Dongxue of Dihao Group and I have successfully negotiated the project cooperation!"
"What? You made it?"
"Impossible! How could it be? You couldn't even meet Wang Dongxue!"
Everyone was stunned.
"Xiao Churan, do you think we'll believe you?"
Xiao Hailong snapped back to reality and immediately pounded on the table, fury in his eyes. "Wang Dongxue of Dihao Group is a well-known business elite in the city. How could she meet with you? Don't you know your own place?"
Facing the doubts and accusations of the crowd, Xiao Churan directly pulled out the contract and handed it to Xiao Lao Tai. "This is the project contract from Dihao Group. Please have a look."
This contract was like a bomb, exploding the atmosphere in the room!
Xiao Hailong still didn't believe it and shouted loudly, "This must be a fake contract! I don't believe she could handle Dihao Group!"
"Right!" Added Xiao Weiwei, "What makes her think she can get a contract from Dihao Group? This is a thirty-million project! If she can do it, I would have done it already!"
Xiao Churan sneered, "Cousin, you're wrong. This contract is not for thirty million, but for sixty million!"
"Get out of here!" Xiao Weiwei snorted. "A sixty-million contract? How dare you even say that! Do you really think we're fools? If you can sign a sixty-million contract, I say I can sign a one-hundred-million one!"
Xiao Hailong also said with a cold face, "Churan, you're playing tricks on Grandma and everyone here!"
After that, he turned to Xiao Lao Tai and said, "Grandma! Churan is disrespectful! You can't let her off!"
Xiao Lao Tai was also furious. She thought there was only a ten percent chance of securing thirty million, but Xiao Churan came back after half an hour and told her she had signed sixty million...
Wasn't she making a fool of herself in front of so many people?
Did she think she was the head of the family for nothing?
If she didn't expel this ungrateful descendant, how could she maintain her authority in the family?
Xiao Lao Tai was so angry that she pounded the table and shouted, "Xiao Churan! Go to the HR department and process your resignation immediately!"
Xiao Churan looked stunned. Were these people crazy? Couldn't they just open the contract and take a look?
Just then, someone shouted loudly, "Wow! Dihao Group's official WeChat account has posted an update! The sixty-million contract is real!"
