The next morning, Xiao Churan brought the cooperation proposal she had worked on overnight and went to Dihao Group with Ye Chen.
Looking up at the towering skyscraper, which stood over a hundred stories tall, she felt completely uncertain.
How could such a massive company be interested in working with the Xiao family?
Especially when they were aiming to secure a 30 million yuan contract—That was like a beggar hoping for a billionaire to casually gift them tens of millions. Utterly unrealistic.
Feeling uneasy, Xiao Churan said nervously,"Dihao Group is such a big company… What if they don't want to work with us? I heard that Weiwei and Wang Yunfei were kicked out yesterday. What if I can't even meet Wang Dongxue and end up being thrown out too?"
Ye Chen noticed her anxiety and gently comforted her,"Dihao Group only kicks out people who are rude. My wife is beautiful and kind-hearted—they'll definitely treat you warmly. Don't worry, just go talk to them."
Xiao Churan sighed, "I hope so. You wait for me here."
She took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and walked through the grand entrance of Dihao Group.
Ye Chen watched her back, then pulled out his phone and called Wang Dongxue.
"Dongxue, my wife just went up. You know what to do."
Wang Dongxue immediately responded,"Don't worry, Young Master. I'll make sure Young Madam is completely satisfied."
Ye Chen added, "By the way, I heard Dihao Group has been closely cooperating with the Zhang family?"
Wang Dongxue replied, "They did have some deep cooperation before. The Zhang family has been actively applying to join this new project as well. But the final decision is yours, Young Master."
Ye Chen's voice turned cold,"I don't want to see the Zhang family involved in this new project. In fact, I don't want Dihao Group working with them ever again."
"Yes, sir!" Wang Dongxue said. "I'll take care of it!"
…
Meanwhile, Xiao Churan waited at the front desk of Dihao Group, hoping for an appointment.She wasn't even sure if the Vice Chairman, Wang Dongxue, would agree to see her.
Soon, a graceful female assistant approached her."Are you Ms. Xiao Churan? Vice Chairman Wang is expecting you. Please follow me."
Xiao Churan was stunned. She hadn't even finished the appointment procedure—how did they already know her name?
Could Wang Dongxue really be expecting her?
It didn't make sense… Wang Dongxue was a high-profile figure. How could she possibly know someone like her?
Still, she knew this was a rare opportunity, so she hurried to follow the assistant.
The assistant led her straight to Wang Dongxue's office.
As soon as Wang Dongxue saw her, she stood up and greeted her with respect,"Hello, Ms. Xiao. I'm Wang Dongxue, Vice Chairman of Dihao Group."
Facing the famous female executive of Jinling, Xiao Churan felt nervous and spoke respectfully,"Hello, Vice Chairman Wang. I'm here to discuss the hotel project. Although our Xiao family doesn't have much influence, we've always been sincere and reputable in our renovation work."
As she spoke, she nervously handed over a folder."This is the Xiao Group's company profile and credentials. Please have a look."
Wang Dongxue smiled gracefully. After a quick glance through the folder, she said directly,"I've reviewed your materials, Ms. Xiao. I believe Dihao Group can work with the Xiao family."
"What? Are you serious?" Xiao Churan couldn't believe her ears.
They agreed… just like that? It was too simple!
Wang Dongxue smiled,"Of course. Though the Xiao family may not meet our usual standards, our chairman personally values you and is willing to work with you."
"The chairman?" Xiao Churan asked in surprise. "Who is your chairman?"
Wang Dongxue replied calmly,"Our chairman is Mr. Ye from the Yanjing Ye family."
"Mr. Ye?"
Xiao Churan frowned slightly,"I don't think I know anyone with the surname Ye… except for my husband."
Wang Dongxue gently nodded. She had been instructed not to reveal Ye Chen's identity, so she could only say this much.
Other than her husband Ye Chen, Xiao Churan really didn't know any other Ye family members—But she never imagined that her so-called useless, orphan husband could actually be this mysterious Mr. Ye.
Wang Dongxue then said,"Ms. Xiao, I saw in your proposal that your requested contract value was 30 million?"
Xiao Churan quickly nodded and asked cautiously,"Is that… too much?"
Wang Dongxue smiled,"Not at all. In fact, it's too little."
Xiao Churan was dumbfounded,"Wait, what do you mean?"
"Our chairman has instructed me to increase the cooperation quota to 60 million," said Wang Dongxue.
She pulled out a contract and handed it over,"Look, it's already been drafted. If you're satisfied, we can sign it right now."
"Wha… What?!"
Xiao Churan was completely stunned.
She had never imagined that the powerful Dihao Group, which her family struggled to even contact, would not only welcome her—But also double the proposed cooperation amount on their own!
Her grandmother's original goal was to get a 30-million contract. Yet now, the actual contract offered was 60 million!
She suddenly remembered how her husband Ye Chen had insisted she take this project.
Why was he so confident?
Even earlier at the entrance of Dihao Group, while she was full of doubt, Ye Chen was calm and assured.
Could it be…Had he known all along?
Who exactly was her husband?
