The Hidden Dragon In-Law

Robert Xiao kowtowed three times, tears of humiliation welling up in his eyes.

But he didn't dare to act rashly at this moment.

He knew that his grandmother must be very displeased with him right now.

At this time, he couldn't afford to say anything that might anger her further.

Old Madame Xiao felt somewhat relieved seeing Robert kowtow and admit his mistake.

It wasn't that she wanted her grandson to kowtow to James Ye, this good-for-nothing, but the crucial point was that the oath involved her own life.

She had always been a devout Buddhist, and if Robert didn't kowtow and admit his mistake, she feared she wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace, worried that retribution might fall upon her.

So, she looked at Robert and said calmly, "Robert, these three kowtows are a lesson for you. In the future, don't bet on things you're not sure of. Even if you do, don't drag the family into it!"

Robert, with a tearful face, replied, "Grandma, I understand. I won't dare to do it again..."

As he spoke, his eyes glanced venomously at James, thinking, you piece of trash, forcing me to kneel and kowtow to you, humiliating me completely. I'll definitely kill you one day!

Then, Old Madame Xiao spoke up, "Today, it's a great joy that Mary secured this contract. Everyone should seize this opportunity to establish a good relationship with Dihao Group!"

James, standing to the side, reminded, "Grandma, since Mary secured the project cooperation, shouldn't the position of company director go to her?"

Old Madame Xiao raised an eyebrow, pondering silently.

She had indeed said that whoever secured the contract would become the director.

However, thinking about how she had never liked Mary, and how she had always been annoyed by her useless husband, she hesitated.

If she elevated Mary, what if Mary became uncontrollable in the future?

In that instant, she wanted to retract her previous promise.

After all, she hadn't sworn an oath when making the promise, so she could take it back with a clear conscience.

However, she felt that such words shouldn't be said right after Mary had signed the contract, so she said, "How about this, tomorrow night, I'll hold a banquet and invite prominent figures from Jinling. At that time, I'll announce our cooperation with Dihao Group and the appointment of the new director."

Hearing this, James breathed a sigh of relief.

Mary also smiled gently, thinking that the director's position was finally hers. She wouldn't be ostracized anymore, and her parents could hold their heads high!

Old Madame Xiao turned to Mary and said, "Mary, there's one more thing I need your help with."

Mary quickly replied, "Grandma, please tell me."

Old Madame Xiao said, "I want you to contact the chairman of Dihao and invite him to tomorrow's banquet."

After a pause, she added expectantly, "If he can attend our banquet, it would be a great honor for our Xiao Family and would greatly enhance our reputation!"@@novelbin@@

Mary thought for a moment and hesitated, "But... last time I only met Dihao's Vice Chairman, Margaret Wang. I haven't met the chairman himself... And we've just secured their project, wouldn't it seem too deliberate to host such a banquet now..."

"So what? I want to show everyone in Jinling that we're now tied to Dihao, and the Xiao Family is going to prosper!"

After saying this, Old Madame Xiao added, "Even if the chairman of Dihao doesn't come, inviting Margaret Wang would still be impressive. She's the second-in-command at Dihao Group, and having her attend would be quite prestigious."

At this point, Old Madame Xiao was already excited.

Thinking about how those big families and corporations that used to look down on the Xiao Family might have to rely on them in the future made her blood boil.

The Xiao Family, under her leadership, would become even more glorious!

Mary thought for a moment and hesitantly replied, "I understand, I'll try..."

"Not try! You must invite them!"

Mary nodded lightly, then quietly asked James, "What should I do? What if the chairman of Dihao doesn't come? What if Margaret Wang doesn't want to come either?"

James chuckled and said, "Just give it a try. Don't you have Margaret Wang's phone number? Maybe she'll agree as soon as you call."

The Xiao Family's banquet was not only to showcase their strength but also to announce Mary's promotion to director.

With his wife being promoted to director, it wouldn't be a bad idea for James to attend and show support.

At this moment, Mary had no idea that her husband was actually the chairman of Dihao Group. She sighed, still conflicted, "But the chairman of Dihao is said to be a young master from a prominent family in Yanjing. Such an important person must be extremely busy. How could he have time to attend a banquet..."

James smiled, "I think it's possible. Maybe he's just at home every day, cooking and doing laundry for his wife?"

Mary rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think everyone is like you?"

James nodded, "Yes, it's very possible that the boss of Dihao Group is just like me..."

Mary pouted and said coquettishly, "Hmph! How could that be possible!"
