The crowd returned to the banquet hall, and Old Mada Xiao pulled Mary Xiao onto the stage.
With an affectionate deanor, she began, "I apologize for the earlier confusion. It was my mistake. Actually, we owe a lot to Mary. She is the outstanding younger generation of our Xiao Family, and she played a significant role in our cooperation with the Dihao Group."
Margaret Wang, standing beside her, gave her a disdainful glance and waved her hand to stop her from continuing. She interjected, "Let correct you. This cooperation was entirely facilitated by Miss Mary Xiao alone and has nothing to do with anyone else."
Her words were blunt, but everyone was used to it. Given Dihao Group's status, even if Margaret Wang slapped Old Mada Xiao in public, she wouldn't dare say anything.
Old Mada Xiao quickly nodded, "Vice Chairman Wang is right. Everything is thanks to Mary. From now on, Mary will be the director of our Xiao Family, fully responsible for our cooperation with Dihao Group!"
Only then did Margaret Wang smile slightly, shaking hands with Mary Xiao and saying, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Mary Xiao was still a bit dazed and could only nod.
The audience erupted in applause, their gazes towards Mary Xiao filled with admiration.
Who exactly is this woman? How did she gain such favor from Dihao Group?
Mary Xiao herself was also confused. She turned to look at Jas Ye. The current scene was exactly as Jas had predicted. Old Mada Xiao had returned the director position that should have belonged to her.
Even after the banquet ended and they returned ho, Mary Xiao was still in a state of bewildernt.
Recalling what Jas had said before, she couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious. Over the past few days, Jas seed to have changed sohow.
It was as if there were many things about him that she didn't understand, shrouded in layers of mystery.
That night, Mary Xiao's na spread far and wide in Jinling!
Everyone knew that the Xiao Family had an outstanding younger generation who could even gain the strong support of Dihao Group!
With her around, the revival of the Xiao Family seed just around the corner.
...
Early the next morning, Mary Xiao woke up early and headed to the company in high spirits.
Today was her first day as director, and she hoped to give it her all and do a good job.
Jas Ye, on the other hand, started his day as usual, doing household chores.
After finishing the chores and preparing to go to the market to buy groceries for lunch, he suddenly received a call from his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Ma.
As soon as he answered, her anxious voice ca through, "Jas, you must co to Ping'an Road within ten minutes, or I won't let you off when I get ho!"
With that, she hung up the phone.
Jas was puzzled. His mother-in-law had been missing since early morning, and now she suddenly called, sounding like sothing urgent had happened.
Although Jas was quite annoyed with his mother-in-law, he didn't dare to delay. He quickly tidied up and took a taxi to Ping'an Road.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a group of elderly n and won angrily gathered in front of a tightly closed insurance company.
His mother-in-law was at the front of the crowd, holding a banner and shouting angrily, "Trash Bruce, scam platform, we want justice, return our hard-earned money!"
Jas hurriedly walked up and asked, "Mom, why did you call here?"
As he spoke, the protest slogans echoed in his ears, the elderly n and won shouting at the top of their lungs, making his eardrums ache.
Elizabeth Ma pulled Jas over to take her place and instructed, "Here, you shout the slogans for . I've been shouting all morning, and my throat is hoarse."
Jas didn't understand but had no choice but to join the elderly in protesting. While shouting the slogans, he occasionally asked an elderly man beside him what was going on and finally understood the situation.
It turned out that this Bruce Insurance Company operated high-return insurance products.
Attracted by the high returns, these elderly people had bought a lot of insurance products from the company and beca their custors.
Normally, it was ti for dividends now, but when these elderly people ca to withdraw their money, they found the company doors tightly closed, with only a few employees at the entrance giving poor excuses.
The elderly people then realized they had been scamd.
No wonder his mother-in-law urgently called him to join the protest.
Thinking of this, Jas felt a headache and couldn't help but ask his mother-in-law, "Mom, how much insurance did you buy?"
Elizabeth Ma said anxiously, "They said buying insurance would give dividends, a huge profit. I got carried away and bought all their products with our savings..."
Jas was shocked, "What? You spent all our savings on insurance?"
Elizabeth Ma, hearing this, beca furious and scolded, "Do you have to be so loud? Are you trying to embarrass even more?"
She continued to berate Jas, "If you had any capability, would I have needed to buy their insurance products? If I can't rely on insurance for retirent, should I rely on you, a useless son-in-law?"
This guy couldn't even support his family, and now he dared to make things worse?
She then told Jas, "Keep shouting the slogans for , don't stop for a mont!"
Jas had no choice but to nod, "Okay, Mom."
At this mont, a few elderly won walked over, sizing up Jas, and asked Elizabeth Ma, "Sister Lan, is this your son-in-law?"
They looked at Jas's attire and mocked, "He looks so shabby, not even as good as my son-in-law."
"Yeah, his clothes are so poor! Even worse than mine!"
Their mocking words were particularly harsh.
Jas didn't mind. They were just a bunch of elderly won who had lost their life savings. There was no need to argue with them.
Elizabeth Ma was also furious, the more she looked at Jas, the more displeased she beca. She blurted out, "Just wait, I'll have my daughter divorce him in a few days and find a better son-in-law!"
Jas sneered inwardly. A better son-in-law? Even if you gathered all the rich second-generation heirs in Jinling, they wouldn't compare to a single finger of mine.
Elizabeth Ma was anxious, knowing that Jas was useless and could only help shout slogans.
To get her investnt back, she needed soone truly capable to help.
Unfortunately, Matthew Zhang, who had been pursuing her daughter, had gone bankrupt. Otherwise, she could have asked him for help!
Wait!
Elizabeth Ma suddenly rembered Eric Wang, the brother of Daniel Wang, whom she t at the family banquet yesterday.
Judging by his attentiveness towards her daughter, he probably had so interest in her.
Although the Wang Family wasn't as prominent as the Zhang Family used to be, they were still a notable family. If she called him, he might have a solution.
Fortunately, Eric Wang had given her his business card yesterday. She imdiately took out her phone and dialed his number.
