My Ares Son-in-Law

Sophie walked to the window woodenly, looking at the prosperous yet indifferent city outside, her eyes gradually became absent-minded. Her thoughts suddenly went back to a few years ago, when she had just entered the university campus, full of youth and vigor.

There was a famous teacher in the school. One day, he went to her home by chance and fell in love with something in her home. It was said that the thing had a history of hundreds of years and was a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the family, carrying the family's memory and honor.

After the teacher found out, he approached her several times and offered to buy it at a high price. But she knew the significance of this heirloom, so even though the price offered by the teacher was very tempting, she still firmly refused.

But now, fate seems to have played a cruel joke on her. The company encountered major crises one after another, with its capital chain broken and suppliers cutting off supply. The company was about to fall into an irretrievable situation.

She wandered alone in the middle of the night countless times, thinking about how to solve the problem, but she still had no clue. Looking at the anxious and expectant faces in the company, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

At this moment, the heirloom suddenly flashed through her mind, something she once treasured. She sighed deeply and murmured to herself: "If the family is gone, what is the meaning of the heirloom?"

Yes, without the company, the so-called family glory would become a castle in the air. She gritted her teeth, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she decided to sell the heirloom and use the money to solve the company's urgent needs.

At this time, Xiao Chen had no idea about Sophie's inner struggle and decision. He sat in the office, frowning, with a firm and calm look in his eyes. Looking at the phone in his hand, he knew that he had to take action as soon as possible to solve the problem encountered by the pharmaceutical factory.

He took a deep breath, quickly picked up his phone, and called Li Haojie, Jiang Yixue, and Cheng Tianan. The moment the call was connected, his voice was steady and powerful, and he quickly and clearly told them the difficulties encountered by the pharmaceutical factory.

The first person to answer the call was Cheng Tianan. After a brief silence, Cheng Tianan replied very straightforwardly: "Don't worry, I guarantee that seven of the suppliers will be able to supply normally within one day."

His tone was full of confidence and determination. Cheng Tianan knew that Xiao Chen was no ordinary person. He had seen how powerful and decisive Xiao Chen was. In his heart, Xiao Chen was like a towering mountain that could bring him a sense of security and endless hope.

He longed to take his relationship with Xiao Chen to the next level, to become an absolute comrade-in-arms on the same boat, sharing honor and disgrace. Therefore, even if this would offend the prosperous Aramco Group, he was not afraid at all, and he believed that following Xiao Chen, the future would definitely be bright.

Then, Xiao Chen called Li Haojie. There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, followed by Li Haojie's hesitant voice.

He was silent for a while, with a hint of hesitation in his tone, "If I agree to you, it will be equivalent to a direct provocation to the Aramco Group. Is it worth it?" Li Haojie knew that the Aramco Group had a huge influence in the industry, and offending them would mean facing enormous pressure and risks.

Xiao Chen listened to Li Haojie's words without any impatience. He said in a calm but powerful tone: "You have to decide for yourself. Do you want to be like now, with even your own subsidiaries being controlled by others and lingering under the shadow of others, or do you want to be brave and take a share of Aramco Group's assets in the future?"

Xiao Chen's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Li Haojie's heart hard.

Li Haojie fell into deep thought, and various scenes kept flashing in his mind: the company's embarrassment when it was suppressed by the Ami Group, the desperate eyes of the employees, and the glorious scene of the family business expanding several times if it broke through the difficulties. After a long time, he slowly said: "Okay, I accept it." This time, his voice was no longer hesitant as before, but full of determination. He knew that this was a gamble, but he felt it was necessary to take a gamble.

If they lose, the worst that can happen is that they will be targeted by the Ami Group and the company will continue to struggle in difficulties; but if they win, the Li family's industry will achieve a qualitative leap and expand several times. Thinking of this, his eyes revealed a hint of determination and expectation.

Then, Xiao Chen called Jiang Yixue. On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yixue's voice was crisp and cheerful, and her attitude was even more straightforward, as if the problem Xiao Chen mentioned was just a trivial matter in her eyes:

"It's just a small matter, just leave it to me. Even if my father doesn't agree, I can handle it. It just takes some time." His words were full of confidence and unrestrainedness. The vigorous and resolute spirit made Xiao Chen feel relieved.

"Okay, thank you." Xiao Chen said sincerely, with a hint of gratitude in his voice. In the face of this thorny crisis, every bit of support is invaluable.

"What are you thanking me for? You've helped me so many times. I was just worried that I wouldn't have the chance to thank you properly. Now this opportunity comes just in time."

Jiang Yixiu said with a smile, and the laughter came through the receiver with an infectious power that made people feel happy. "I'll go and help you right away. I'll hang up first." After that, a busy tone came from the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone with Jiang Yixiu, Xiao Chen's eyes fell on the list of thirty-two suppliers' names on the desk in front of him.

The sunlight shone through the window onto the paper, and the handwriting on the list was clearly visible. Each name seemed to carry the key to the pharmaceutical factory's normal operation. He narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself, next, it was time to go to the Zhao family.

Previously, although he had successfully reached cooperation intentions with the Cheng family, the Li family, and the Jiang family, he had not yet won over the Zhao family. If the Zhao family could also agree to help, then this thorny raw material supply problem would basically be solved.

By then, among the 32 suppliers, only four will have not given in. Given the size of these four companies, they cannot cause any trouble at all, and the impact on the pharmaceutical company will be minimal.

However, just as he was thinking about what excuse to find to go to Zhao's house, his cell phone suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room. Xiao Chen picked up the phone and saw that the caller ID was Cheng Tianan. He was moved and pressed the answer button.

Cheng Tianan's familiar voice instantly came out from the receiver: "Mr. Xiao, I have arranged the matter and it will be done soon. However, I need your help with another matter. I have already made an appointment with the Zhao family and will go there later today. Do you have time?"

When Xiao Chen heard this, he was stunned at first, and then a smile appeared on his face.

This is really "no effort is wasted in finding something", he was just worrying about not being able to find a suitable reason to go to Zhao's house, Cheng Tianan's call was like a pillow handed to him when he was sleepy, a great opportunity just came to him. He calmed himself down and said in a brisk tone: "I have no problem." (End of this chapter)
