"Uh... I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I only have one of these."
Ye Chen was honest and straightforward, but after hearing this, Boss Zhang became depressed. In his opinion, Ye Chen just didn't want to sell to him, so he kept trying to please Ye Chen. Ye Chen had no choice but to keep telling the truth that he really didn't have it.
Moreover, it wasn't just President Zhang who had this idea; almost all the guests surrounded Ye Chen, all trying to curry favor with him and hoping he would sell them a few pieces of longevity jade.
Ye Chen couldn't handle it anymore, so the old man came over and chased them away. Then he whispered to Ye Chen, "Chen, if you ever get something good like this in the future, just remember your grandpa. No matter what they say to you, don't listen to them!"
Ye Chen looked at the old man and thought he was quite calculating. However, considering his age, it was understandable that he had such a strong desire for longevity. So he smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I definitely will."
"Yes, yes, a perfect son-in-law, a perfect son-in-law indeed!"
Su Heyan patted Ye Chen on the shoulder with a big smile, clearly treating Ye Chen like her own grandson.
This infuriated Su Huai'an, who was standing nearby. He was the true heir of the Su family! Thinking of how Ye Chen had just been fawned over by all the guests, and now his grandfather was showing him such favor, Su Huai'an was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood. Finally, he couldn't hold back any longer and walked up to his grandfather, taking out his second astonishing birthday gift: "Grandpa, look at this!"
He produced a contract.
Su Heyan immediately took it, and after looking through it for a while, his expression changed drastically. He looked at Su Huai'an and asked, "Did you negotiate this?"
"That's right!"
Su Huai'an's nose perked up: "I recently learned that our Su family's business is not doing well, so I studied so hard that I went to the Xia family to discuss this deal. For this... Grandpa, I even sacrificed my looks!"
Su Huai'an's expression turned somewhat pained. A young lady from the Xia family was very fond of him, and in order to close this deal, he agreed to offer himself to her for one night.
The Xia family is one of the top wealthy families in Pengcheng, on par with the Xiao family, with assets around 10 billion yuan. The contract project that Su Huai'an negotiated will generate a profit of over 100 million yuan, which is enough to allow the Su family to stand up again. Moreover, if they can cooperate with the Xia family in the long term, the Su family could very well become a family with assets of several billion yuan, leaping into the ranks of the top wealthy families in Pengcheng!
"puff……"
Ye Chen couldn't help but chuckle. This Su Huai'an was alright looking, but he looked like he had kidney deficiency. He wondered how he managed to satisfy that girl.
"why are you laughing!"
Su Huai'an was furious when he saw Ye Chen suddenly laugh. Was he laughing at him for sacrificing his virtue? How ignorant! His purpose in sacrificing his virtue was for the greater good of the Su family, something a doormat like Ye Chen couldn't possibly understand!
"I laugh at your arrogance."
Ye Chen stared at him, his smile still radiating, giving the impression that he was looking at a fool.
Seeing Ye Chen's disrespect towards him, Su Huai'an immediately said to the old man, "Grandpa, please teach him a lesson! He's just a live-in son-in-law, how dare he treat me like this!"
With a project that would generate 100 million in profit, and the fact that he was a pure descendant of the Su family, he believed that his grandfather would no longer protect Ye Chen.
Sure enough, after pondering for a moment, the old man glared at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, apologize to Huai'an!"
Ye Chen was dumbfounded. This old man was too ungrateful. He had just invited him to be the birthday boy, and now he was showing this kind of attitude.
This old man is more formidable than any woman; he can change his mind faster than flipping through a book!
Su Heyan had thought things through very clearly. First, Su Huai'an had genuinely secured a major project, which was far more reliable than the Yue Fei jade Ye Chen had offered. After all, Su Huai'an hadn't even lived to be three hundred years old yet, and who knew when a heart attack might strike and he'd be gone. Second, Su Huai'an was, after all, his own grandson. Although she didn't particularly like him, she wouldn't necessarily favor an outsider.
Of course, the main reason is the project itself. Su Huai'an was able to reach a cooperation agreement with the Xia family, which undoubtedly made him a great contributor to the Su family!
Therefore, it is naturally much heavier than Ye Chen.
Ye Chen, of course, refused to apologize, acting completely self-centered. Su Heyan was immediately furious! Su Huai'an was even more enraged, wondering if Ye Chen even understood the concept of a 'son-in-law' and how could he act so arrogantly?
This is so different from the novels about sons-in-law he'd read before!
"Ye Chen, apologize!"
Su Heyan was furious. Even if this kid wanted to show off, he should at least give this old man some face! Besides, it was just an apology, a simple matter of opening his mouth. He shouldn't be so stingy. He had just slapped his own grandson!
"Grandpa, we won't say it!"
Su Xueyi said angrily.
"Su Xueyi, what did you say..."
"Shut up!"
Su Xueyi took her contract out of her bag and threw it at Su Huai'an to shut him up.
Su Huai'an was stunned by the blow. He picked up the contract, looked at it, and then flipped through it again and again. Instantly, his face showed an expression of utter shock. Then he looked at Su Xueyi in disbelief!
This is a series of contracts, listing projects that the Su family has collaborated on with one company after another. In particular, the last contract is actually with the Kaimei Group!
If these projects are successfully implemented, the profits will be at least one billion yuan, which is ten times that of his!
Seeing Su Huai'an's dazed expression, Su Heyan snatched the contract from his hand and examined it closely with his old eyes... He flipped through it again and again, and then his old face showed great shock as he looked at his granddaughter as if she were a monster!
She actually secured a partnership with the Kaimei Group!
How is this possible?!
How could the Kaimei Group possibly be interested in a small company like the Su family's?
To be honest, the Su family's company isn't exactly small. A company that can be called a conglomerate must be extraordinary, with businesses spanning multiple sectors and a market value of several hundred million. At its peak, earning four or five million a month was no problem. However, compared to a behemoth like the Kaimei Group, it's incredibly small.
