Chapter 405: Chapter 405 Aid in a Snowstorm_1

"You’ve put thought into this!"

Xiao Chen said with a smile.

His relationship with Xinmeng Group was actually no secret.

Even though he had never mentioned it, if Du Musheng and Ding Mulan couldn’t figure that out, Xiao Chen would start to question whether their abilities had some issues.

"We dare not neglect our duties; this is all part of what we should do."

Du Musheng hastily replied.

"Yes, our two families wouldn’t be where we are today without the Boss’s powerful support. This little matter is hardly worth mentioning!"

Ding Mulan added.

"I hope you truly feel that way."

Xiao Chen chuckled, "After all, you used to be independent family clans, but now, you are essentially affiliated with our Jiangnan Xiao Family.

It’s normal to feel uncomfortable about it."

Hearing this, the expressions of Du Musheng and Ding Mulan changed drastically.

Almost simultaneously, they knelt on the ground and said, "We have never had such thoughts, heaven and earth can bear witness!"

"Whether you have or haven’t doesn’t really matter. I don’t know what’s in your hearts.

What I want to see is your actions. As of now, you two have been performing quite well. Keep up the good work."

"After all," Xiao Chen said with a smile, "although I am good to my subordinates, if they are incompetent, I will still dismiss them—but I’ll give some compensation at most."

Ding Mulan and Du Musheng broke out in a cold sweat.

Xiao Chen was indeed frightening.

The casual way he spoke could send chills down one’s spine.

"We’ll take Boss’s teachings to heart."

The two of them said very earnestly.

"Alright then, if there’s nothing else, you can go back. Don’t disturb me while I’m watching anime,"

Xiao Chen waved his hand.

Du Musheng and Ding Mulan turned and left.

A single invitation lay on the table.

This invitation was for special VIP guests, with no limit to the number of attendees.

In other words, the holder of this invitation could bring as many people as they wanted.

And such an invitation, for this particular banquet, there was only one.

"Brother-in-law, can I go to this banquet?"

Xia Muxue looked at the glittering invitation with excitement and hope in her eyes.

She had never been to Tianhai Penglai Pavilion, but she had heard of it.

It was said that the master chef there was extraordinarily skilled.

Of course, the food was also prohibitively expensive.

Since there was an opportunity, she really wanted to taste what the food there was like.

"Of course!"

Xiao Chen said with a smile, "The reason I brought you out this time is to reward you for doing well on your college entrance exam."

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Xia Muxue was a bit excited and planted a red kiss on Xiao Chen’s forehead.

This gave Xiao Chen quite a scare.

"You little brat, if your sister Jiang Meng sees this, I won’t be able to explain it away."

Xiao Chen was speechless.

What kind of habits are these kids picking up nowadays?

He was truly not used to it.

"Brother-in-law, you are too feudal. It’s just a sweet reward from a young and beautiful girl – it’s no big deal.

Look how scared you are."

To tell the truth, Xia Muxue was surprised.

She had always thought of Xiao Chen as someone fierce, but she did not expect that Xiao Chen would also have a side that feared his wife.

It seemed that her brother-in-law truly loved Sister Jiang Meng; otherwise, he wouldn’t care so much.

"Fine, I am old-fashioned. No more surprise attacks in the future, or I won’t take you out for fun anymore,"

Xiao Chen murmured and found he couldn’t concentrate on his anime anymore.

He quickly went to the restroom to wash the kiss mark off his forehead entirely.

This made Xia Muxue feel somewhat disappointed.

She didn’t mean anything by it, she had just done it subconsciously in her excitement.

But Xiao Chen’s reaction made her feel as if she lacked charm.

"Am I, the school beauty, really that uncharming?"

Xia Muxue shook her head, feeling quite helpless.

Xiao Chen had already entered the room with the invitation.

Inside the room, Jiang Meng had just finished her video conference and was organizing her documents.

Xiao Chen didn’t dare disturb her, instead, he just sat there quietly watching her.

He suddenly realized that his wife was far more attractive than any game or anime.

Jiang Meng was so engrossed that she hadn’t noticed Xiao Chen entering the room.

A full half-hour passed before she stood up and stretched languidly.

Xiao Chen went over to help massage her shoulders.

It startled Jiang Meng.

"You scared me to death, when did you come in, husband? You’re like a ghost!"

"I’ve been here for half an hour. Seeing how focused you were, I didn’t want to interrupt."

"Sorry, hubby, I got a bit too absorbed and neglected you," Jiang Meng said apologetically.

"It’s fine. Watching my wife work is probably the most boring yet most wonderful thing in the world.

But, I see you’re frowning, did you run into some trouble?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Indeed I have," Jiang Meng replied, rubbing her temples. "The social relationships in Tianhai City are really too complex.

If we want to establish a firm footing in Tianhai, we need to make contact with the Du Family and the Ding Family first.

But so far, I haven’t figured out how to get acquainted with them.

If we could just get on good terms with these two families, other things would be much easier."

"What do you think this is?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, handing the invitation over to Jiang Meng.

"An invitation to a banquet!

And it’s a joint invitation from the Du Family and the Ding Family!

Where did you get this treasure from? I love you so much!"

For Jiang Meng, this invitation was like timely help amidst snow.

She excitedly hooked her arms around Xiao Chen’s neck, rewarding him with many sweet little kisses.

It made Xiao Chen feel absolutely delighted.

"My friend has business dealings with the Du Family and the Ding Family.

They happen to be hosting a banquet, and thinking you might need it, I got an invitation for you.

Don’t miss this opportunity.

I’ve heard that the attendees will include bosses and leaders from the food, pharmaceuticals, automotive, and electronics industries," Xiao Chen said smilingly.

"Really? That’s just like a pie falling from the sky.

I’ve been worrying my head off over this."

Jiang Meng exclaimed with joy, "Thank you, husband!"

"No need to thank me, I already mentioned, a friend helped out,"

Xiao Chen said.

"I don’t care, in any case, my husband is the best. Ever since I married you,

there hasn’t been any difficulty that can’t be resolved in this world," Jiang Meng said beamingly.

She wasn’t foolish, of course; she knew that Xiao Chen had used his connections to create this opportunity for her behind the scenes.

The reason she didn’t spell it out was that a smart woman needs to get used to playing dumb in front of her husband.

"Right, there’s only one invitation, does that mean I have to go alone?"

Jiang Meng was actually quite afraid.

After all, this was Tianhai City, where she was a stranger in unfamiliar surroundings.

She didn’t know what kind of people she would meet.

"Of course, we’ll go together, and Mu Xue, that girl, also wants to join in on the fun.

The invitation allows for many guests, don’t worry."

Xiao Chen said laughingly, "My friend heard that Jiang Meng, the Chairman of Xinmeng Group, wanted to come.

He directly gave me a special VIP invitation."

"You, always flattering me," Jiang Meng said. "But I know better. Although our Xinmeng Group is well-regarded in Jiangnan Prefecture, here in Tianhai, it’s not a big deal at all.

It’s even seen as a rural enterprise.

Would others really take me seriously?

It must be because of your face, right?"
