Chapter: 385

But Grandma Xiao didn't expect that Xiao Chun Ran would simply shrug his shoulders and say, "I'm not interested. I just want to do my own thing."

Grandma Xiao sneered coldly, saying, "Xiao Chun Ran, I advise you to think carefully about this. Look at the state your business is in today - it's as good as dead. Has anyone come to congratulate you? If not, why are you still trying to start over again?"

Leafy said with a condescending tone, "There isn't even anyone around here to congratulate us, so what does it matter? As long as I want something, all the influential people in Jinling will come to congratulate Xiao Chun Ran!"

When Xiao Hai Long heard Leafy's words, he disdainfully smiled and mocked, "Leafy, you're just putting on an act. You only know a few shady characters and think you're some big shot? I really don't believe you can invite any influential people."

Next to him, Xiao Wei Wei also sneered coldly, saying, "Leafy is just a good-for-nothing who's great at bragging. If no one shows up for the grand opening ceremony tomorrow, this workshop will become the laughing stock of Jinling - I bet you won't know how to handle it."

When Xiao Chun Ran heard her words, his expression didn't change on the surface, but deep down he couldn't help feeling a bit anxious.

The opening ceremony, in essence, is a ritual to demonstrate one's network resources.

If there are many guests, it will prove that the company has strong connections and abilities, especially if influential people attend. Many people will hear about this and feel embarrassed afterwards.

But what if not a single guest shows up? Wouldn't that be telling others that her company lacks resources and connections? Such a company, how would anyone want to collaborate with it?

If the Emperor Group could send someone to attend the opening ceremony, it would inadvertently boost the company's reputation. However, Xiao Chun Ran has no confidence whether they would even bother.

Xiao Lao Tai Tai then opened her mouth and said, "Chun Ran, it's almost 10 o'clock now, and not a single guest has arrived. I think this small workshop of yours is pointless. I advise you to return to the Xiao family group and work for them. It would be better to do so than to venture out alone and face ridicule."

After knowing that Xiao Chun Ran's company was about to open, the Xiao family also exchanged information with some cooperation partners who had previous connections. They knew Xiao Chun Ran was a representative of the Xiao family and started to show reluctance to attend the opening ceremony or collaborate with her workshop in the future.

So, Xiao Lao Tai Tai dared to bet that today there would not be any influential guests.

In the end, Xiao Chun Ran saw her workshop deserted and naturally felt hopeless. She could then better handle herself.

At this moment, Xiao Chun Ran was indeed very anxious, biting her lower lip with worry.

Leafy, standing beside her, gave her hand a reassuring squeeze and said in a serious tone, "Old lady, even if there's not a single guest today, what can we do? Having me here is enough."

Xiao Chun Ran looked at him with a moved expression, lightly nodding her head and feeling a sense of stability wash over her.

However, Xiao Lao Tai Tai coldly laughed and said, "Leafy, you're taking yourself too seriously. What can you do here? Can you bring influential guests to Xiao's workshop? Can you bring orders to the workshop? Without the backing of the Xiao family, you'll all be forced onto a narrow path eventually!"

Leafy said with an arrogant expression, "Xiao's company will only get better and better! Even if it's the Xiao family on the brink of bankruptcy, or during its most prosperous period, it's nothing in front of Xiao Chun Ran. She wants to surpass you all, what's hard about that?"

"What a big mouth!"

Xiao Lao Tai Tai felt she had been subjected to a huge affront when she heard Leafy say that the Xiao family was on the brink of bankruptcy and that Xiao Chun Ran could easily surpass it during its most prosperous period.

She angrily slammed her cane onto the ground, shouting, "You're just a useless piece of trash who married into our Xiao family. How dare you speak so boldly here?"

Leafy smiled slightly and said, "You say I'm speaking out of turn? Ha ha, I'm just telling the truth. If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

Xiao Hai Long coldly laughed a few times and said, "Ah, Leafy, I'll be waiting for your company to become big."

Time ticked by second by second, with departure time drawing near. JrNovels.com
