The Hidden Dragon In-Law

Thinking of this, Lisa Bi quickly put on a flattering expression and sweetly said to James Ye, "Class Monitor Ye, it's such an honor for Buckingham Palace to have you here, and it's also my honor as your old classmate. Please come in..."

She thought that by flattering James a bit, he would forget or overlook her previous behavior.

But she had underestimated James's character.

Charles Chen, upon hearing Lisa's words, was overjoyed and asked, "Lisa, are you Mr. Ye's classmate?"

"Yes, yes!" Lisa hurriedly replied, "Mr. Ye was my class monitor in college, and we were very close!"

Charles immediately said, "Great, great! Tomorrow, you will report to the president's office and from now on, you will be the HR manager of Buckingham Palace!"

From a team leader to an HR manager, that's at least a three-level jump in Buckingham Palace, and the benefits would be more than ten times better!

Moreover, the HR manager holds the power over most employees' fates, definitely one of the top executives.

Lisa was so excited upon hearing this that she almost fainted.

At this moment, James's expression turned cold as he asked, "Mr. Chen, do you know what kind of relationship I have with Lisa Bi?"

Charles thought James was dissatisfied with his arrangement and immediately said in a panic, "If Mr. Ye is not satisfied, then Lisa can directly be promoted to vice president of the hotel!"

Lisa was almost moved to tears with excitement!

Vice president? That's second only to the president!

But just then, James suddenly said sternly, "I called Lisa for help because I didn't have a membership card, but she humiliated me for no reason and even tried to have the security guards beat me up. And you want to promote her to vice president? What do you mean by this? Are you deliberately trying to go against me?"

Hearing this, Charles felt a chill in his heart.

Damn it! He had tried to flatter but ended up offending!

Immediately, he looked at Lisa with anger.

Then, he slapped Lisa hard across the face and angrily scolded, "How dare you offend Mr. Ye? Do you have a death wish?"

Lisa was so scared that she went weak all over, kneeling on the ground and continuously kowtowing, crying, "Mr. Chen, I was wrong."

Charles kicked Lisa hard, sending her flying several meters away, and scolded, "You blind dog! Today, I'll make you understand the cost of offending Mr. Ye!"

Then he ordered the security guards beside him, "Beat her up! Beat her half to death, ruin her surgically altered face, and then tell everyone in Jinling that any company that dares to hire her will be going against me, Charles Chen!"

Lisa was scared out of her wits and hurriedly pleaded, "Mr. Chen, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

Charles, in a fit of rage, shouted, "Now you know you were wrong? What were you doing earlier? How dare you offend Young Master Ye? If it weren't for Young Master Ye's face, I'd have killed you!"

Lisa broke down in tears, crawling on her knees to James and continuously kowtowing, "Class Monitor Ye, I was wrong, I'm sorry! Please consider our past as classmates..."@@novelbin@@

James coldly asked, "Lisa Bi, as classmates, why did you insult me and my wife just now?"

Lisa cried bitterly, "Class Monitor, I was momentarily confused, it's all my fault, please forgive me..."

James said, "If people do not offend me, I will not offend them. But if people offend me, I will not let them go!"

Then, with a cold snort, he added, "You brewed this bitter wine, now drink it yourself!"

Charles scolded, "You wretched woman, if you dare to speak against Young Master Ye again, I'll have someone tear your mouth apart!"

Lisa dared not plead anymore and knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.

James showed no sympathy for her and directly ignored her, saying to Charles with a blank expression, "I want to talk to you about the Hanging Gardens. Let's go to your office."

Charles hurriedly nodded and respectfully said, "Mr. Ye, please follow me!"

After saying that, he pointed at the security guards beside him and ordered, "Beat her up hard!"

"Yes, Mr. Chen!"

The security guards dared not disobey him and immediately rushed up to hold Lisa down and beat her up.

Lisa kept wailing, but James paid no attention and, under Charles's obsequious guidance, entered Buckingham Palace.

As soon as they reached Charles's office, James went straight to the point, "In a few days, it's my wedding anniversary with my wife. I want to book the entire Hanging Gardens. Can you make it happen?"

Charles didn't hesitate and said, "Young Master, the Hanging Gardens has always refused private bookings to ensure fairness for all high-end members. Even the city's top leaders can't book it. But if you need it, the Hanging Gardens can be exclusively open for you forever!"

James calmly said, "That's not necessary. Just reserve it for the anniversary day. Also, I need your cooperation to prepare a surprise for my wife."

Charles immediately said, "Rest assured, Young Master, the entire staff of Buckingham Palace will follow your instructions!"

...

After settling the matter at Buckingham Palace, James took the bus home. Almost all the passengers were engrossed in the hottest short video apps.

To his surprise, everyone was watching the same video!

It was the video of him spending 13 million in cash at the Emerald Pavilion!

The video started with Anthony Tang's Rolls-Royce convoy.

A string of top-tier Rolls-Royce cars, several black-suited bodyguards carrying black leather cases, 13 million in cash thrown on the ground, and the sales manager who looked down on him being utterly humiliated—all of it was posted online.

However, the video didn't capture James's face.

The video quickly went viral in Jinling, with countless people speculating about who this super-rich person was.

Many young women even fantasized about being Cinderella meeting her prince, hoping to one day encounter this low-key tycoon.

James confirmed several times that he was not easily recognizable in the video before finally feeling relieved and heading home.

At home, the atmosphere was jubilant.

Mary Xiao had secured a contract with the Dihao Group and was about to become a director at the Xiao Group. Her parents were naturally moved to tears.

Having been looked down upon in the Xiao Family for so many years, they could finally hold their heads high!

Her father-in-law and mother-in-law were so happy that they didn't find James as annoying as before.

Her mother-in-law excitedly said, "Oh, today is such a happy day. My daughter is truly exceptional!"

Then she looked at James and, for once, smiled, "James, you also inspired Mary, so you don't have to cook today. Let's go to a restaurant for a meal!"

Mary smiled and said, "Let's go to the Kempinski for some Western food!"

"That's too expensive!" her mother-in-law blurted out, "Doesn't it cost over a thousand per person?"

Mary laughed and said, "Mom, the director's salary is very high, a million a year."

"Oh my!" Her mother-in-law clapped her hands in delight, "That's wonderful! My Mary has finally made it!"

Then she added, "But you must give at least 70% of your salary to your mom. You young people don't understand the importance of financial management. Give the money to me, and I'll keep it safe for you. It's much more reliable than you saving it yourself!"

Mary immediately nodded and smiled, "Okay, Mom, I'll give it to you every month. But let's agree on one thing: you can't keep criticizing James. After all, he's your son-in-law!"

Her mother-in-law beamed, "Alright! For your sake, I'll try to say less about him in the future!"
