The Hidden Dragon In-Law

James Ye was meeting Margaret Wang for the first time.

It had to be said, Margaret was stunningly beautiful!

At the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, she possessed a slender yet voluptuous figure, breathtaking beauty, and an air of noble efficiency.

Seated at Margaret's desk, James began, "I won't be coming to Dihao Group often in the future, so I'll need you to take charge here. Also, keep my identity a secret."

Margaret knew that James came from an extraordinary family background, and to his family, a corporation like Dihao Group was but a trifle. It was no surprise he didn't want to manage it personally.

She quickly replied, "Young master, just give me your orders for anything you need."

At that moment, a female secretary knocked and entered, saying, "Vice Chairman Wang, a Mr. Daniel Wang and his fiancée are here to see you."

Margaret immediately responded, "I'm with an important guest, have them wait."

James asked her, "Do you know this Daniel Wang?"

Margaret hurriedly explained, "Daniel's family is one of our subcontractors. Their main business relies on us, and they've been wanting to pay their respects for a while now."

James coldly ordered, "From now on, Dihao Group is to cease all business dealings with the Wang Family. Halt all ongoing and planned collaborations. If the Wang Family earns even a penny from Dihao Group, you can step down as Vice Chairman!"

Margaret's expression turned serious. Without asking, she knew someone from the Wang Family must have offended the young master.

She nodded and assured, "Rest easy, young master. I'll issue the orders to terminate all collaborations with the Wang Family immediately!"

James grunted in approval, "Tell them Dihao Group refuses to work with low-quality trash, then have security throw them out."

Outside, Daniel Wang and Barbara Xiao were eagerly waiting.

The Wang Family had always wanted to become strategic partners with Dihao Group, hoping to get closer to Margaret.

Unexpectedly, Margaret's secretary arrived with several security guards.

Daniel couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, is Vice Chairman Wang available to see us?"

The secretary looked at him and said coldly, "I'm sorry, Vice Chairman Wang has stated that Dihao Group will not cooperate with low-quality trash like you. All collaborations with your family are hereby canceled!"

"What did you say?!"

Daniel was stunned, the words eerily familiar.

That's right! James had said the exact same thing in the parking lot!

What did Vice Chairman Wang mean? Were they cutting off collaboration with the Wang Family?

Daniel felt his head throbbing.

All collaborations terminated?

A significant portion of the Wang Family's profits came from Dihao Group!

If the collaboration ended, wouldn't their family's power be halved instantly?!

Unable to accept this reality, he shouted, "I want to see Vice Chairman Wang! I demand an explanation in person!"

The secretary coldly replied, "I'm sorry, Vice Chairman Wang will not meet with you, and you are no longer allowed to set foot in Dihao Group!"

Enraged, Daniel cursed, "Fuck you, you bitch! Are you playing with me? We've been long-term partners with Dihao Group, you can't just terminate that!"

Ignoring him, the secretary instructed the security guards, "Kick them out!"

The security chief immediately stepped forward, grabbed Daniel's wrist, and twisted it behind his back.

Daniel cried out in pain, and the chief barked, "Get out now! Make a scene in Dihao Group, and I'll cripple you!"

"You're just a security chief, how dare you yell at me? Do you know who I am?"

As soon as Daniel finished speaking, the chief slapped him across the face, shouting, "In front of Dihao Group, who the fuck do you think you are?"

Daniel, his face stinging from the slap, was about to explode in anger when his phone rang.

It was his father calling.

Upon answering, he was met with a furious roar, "Bastard, what trouble have you caused now? Dihao Group is severing all ties with us, who did you offend?"

Daniel protested, "Dad, I haven't offended anyone. I was just here to see Vice Chairman Wang, but I didn't even get to meet her..."

His father cursed over the phone, "Dihao Group said they're cutting ties because of your trashy behavior! Our family is suffering huge losses because of you. Get back here and explain yourself to your grandfather!"

Daniel was chased out of Dihao Group, phone in hand, utterly bewildered.

Suddenly thinking of James, he asked Barbara, "Could it be because of your loser brother-in-law? Does he have some connection to Dihao Group?"

"Ah?" Barbara was startled by Daniel's suggestion. It did seem possible that it had something to do with her good-for-nothing brother-in-law.

But he was just a worthless asshole!

With that thought, she shook her head firmly, "That stupid asshole couldn't possibly have anything to do with Dihao Group. He's not even qualified to clean their toilets!"

"Right..." Daniel nodded, thinking of his furious father, and said dejectedly, "I need to go home..."

The news of Dihao Group terminating all cooperation with the Wang Family spread quickly throughout Jinling.

Although the reason was unknown, everyone was clear that the Wang Family must have offended Dihao Group.

This spelled disaster for the Wang Family.

Their power was greatly diminished, falling from near top-tier status to the bottom of the second-tier families.

Old Madame Xiao, hearing the news, trembled with rage.

She wanted to cancel Barbara and Daniel's engagement, but considering the Wang Family's remaining influence, the Xiao Family couldn't afford to offend them, so she had to let it be.@@novelbin@@

Meanwhile, back in Margaret's office.

James, learning about the whole incident, was very impressed with her handling of the situation.

He said with satisfaction, "Margaret, you handled that well. Starting today, your salary is doubled."

Margaret was both shocked and delighted, quickly standing to bow to James, "Thank you, young master!"

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

James nodded and added, "Also, I want you to announce two things publicly."

"Young master, please tell me."

"First, announce that Dihao Group has a new owner and a new chairman, but don't reveal the chairman's identity. Just mention the surname Ye.

Second, announce that Dihao Group will invest two billion yuan in Jinling to build a six-star hotel and initiate a bidding process for partners. All local construction and decoration companies are welcome to bid!"

Xiao Group's main business was decoration, and Old Madame Xiao had always dreamed of securing a partnership with Dihao Group. Whoever could secure a deal with Dihao Group would become a star in Xiao Group.

Now that he owned Dihao Group, James naturally wanted to provide some benefits for his wife.
