Chapter: 45

Wang Yunfei shrugged and laughed: "That's what small fries are like."

At this moment, Wang Dongxue on the stage scanned the audience and gave Mrs. Shuo a cold look: "The chairman asked me to inform everyone......"

"From now on, Emperor Group will terminate its cooperation with the Shuo family. All signed contracts will be declared null and void!"

"Bang!"

The crowd suddenly exploded in shock, with everyone thinking that Wang Dongxue would never say such words.

This sudden turn of events left everyone stunned.

Mrs. Shuo's face turned as white as paper, and she asked anxiously: "Mr. Vice President, why is this? Is there something wrong with the Shuo family?"

She had invited all the influential people in Jinling to come today, hoping to gain fame and fortune.

If our cooperation goes down the drain under everyone's gaze, the Shuo family might be trampled on by everyone.

Wang Dongxue said, "This project was originally approved by our board chairman in recognition of Ms. Shuo Churan, and it's only because of that approval that we're willing to cooperate with you. But you're trying to impose someone unknown on us, which is unacceptable! Sorry."

After finishing her words, Wang Dongxue put down the microphone and left the room without looking back.

Mrs. Shuo's face turned pale white in an instant and she sat down on the stage as if paralyzed.

She never thought that her one-time cleverness would ultimately ruin this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

If only she knew it would be like this, she wouldn't let Shuo Hailong take over Ms. Shuo Churan's general manager position even at the cost of her life.

Shuo Hailong was also utterly bewildered - how could Wang Dongxue target him without provocation? He had never wronged her!

Shuo Hailong couldn't help but ask Mrs. Shuo, "Nanny, the appointment has already been announced. You won't change your mind, will you?"

Mrs. Shuo struggled to get up and slapped him hard on the ear, full of anger, shouting, "You're a despicable thing! How dare you think about the general manager's position at this moment? Hurry up and go ask Churan for me!"

She didn't realize that after he left, Xiu Chunran was actually still quite close by, sitting in an empty corner of the hotel lobby, dejectedly crying.

He walked slowly towards her, taking off his suit and putting it on her, then said, "Don't be upset anymore, old lady. The CEO position at Shuo House isn't worth much anyway...".

"You don't understand," Xiu Chunran said, sobbing indistinctly. "If I become the CEO, my parents will finally be able to show off at Shuo House, and Granny can't go back on her word..."

He continued to console her, saying, "Maybe they'll come begging you to take the position later. You're crying like this now, but it won't look good when you get up there..."

Xiu Chunran choked back a sob, saying, "How is that possible? Granny has already said her piece, and there won't be any turning back now. Please go ahead, let me sit here quietly for a while..."

Just then, Granny Shuo and Shuo Hailong also ran out of the banquet hall.

Granny was old and had run out of breath, with a large group of people following behind her to watch the commotion.

Shuo Hailong emerged and saw Leaf Duan and Xiu Chunran standing there. JrNovels.com
