My Ares Son-in-Law

Xiao Chen watched her figure disappear through the door, the gentleness on his face gradually fading, replaced by a calm and resolute expression.

He took out his phone and skillfully dialed Shen Yingying's number... Shen Yingying was the president of Dansheng Group whom he had appointed, and was fully responsible for the company's daily operations and project cooperation.

The call was answered quickly, and Shen Yingying's voice was respectful, showing no sign of negligence: "Mr. Xiao, you wanted to see me?"

"President Shen, my friend Zhou Keying has arrived downstairs at your company and just went inside." Xiao Chen's tone was calm, yet carried an unquestionable command. "You should know what to do next."

Shen Yingying immediately understood and replied respectfully, "Mr. Xiao, rest assured, I understand what you mean. I will personally receive Miss Zhou, discuss the cooperation thoroughly, and ensure that your friend leaves satisfied. I will not let you down."

Xiao Chen paused, then remembered Chen Huan's arrogant demeanor from yesterday, and his tone instantly turned cold as he asked, "By the way, I heard that Dansheng Group and Chen Huan's family company had a deep cooperation in the past?"

Shen Yingying dared not hide anything and quickly answered truthfully:
“Mr. Xiao, you’re right. We did have some project dealings with the Chen family’s company before, mainly some small and medium-sized supply chain collaborations.”

"After we launched the 50 billion yuan health and wellness village project, Chen Huan's father also submitted a cooperation application, hoping to participate deeply and even take over some core subcontracting business."

"However, nothing has been decided yet. The specific arrangements will depend on your opinion."

"No need to decide." Xiao Chen's voice was devoid of warmth, carrying a resolute indifference.

“I don’t want to see any trace of Chen Huanjia’s company in the new project, and I won’t allow them to participate in any part of the cooperation.”

"Furthermore, immediately terminate all existing cooperation between Dansheng Group and Chen Family Company, reclaim all unfinished projects, and cease all future cooperation."

"Understood!" Shen Yingying dared not utter a single objection and hurriedly replied respectfully, "Mr. Xiao, rest assured, I will arrange it immediately and personally supervise the process to ensure that this matter is implemented properly and that the Chen family will not be allowed to obtain any further benefits from our company."

……

Meanwhile, Zhou Keying had already entered the lobby on the first floor of Dansheng Group... The entire lobby was decorated in a magnificent style, with the marble floor as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the dazzling light of the crystal chandelier overhead.

A faint aroma of fragrance filled the air, and the staff coming and going were all dressed in smart business attire, walking briskly yet in an orderly manner, exuding the high-end and rigorous atmosphere of a top-tier company.

Zhou Keying stood in the center of the hall, clutching the cooperation proposal she had worked on all night, her heart filled with hesitation and trepidation.

She looked around at the two neatly arranged front desks on either side, and for a moment she didn't know which front desk to consult or make an appointment with, let alone know who Shen Yingying, the general manager of Dansheng Group, was.

Would they be willing to meet someone like her, an unknown person from a small family with no reputation?

After all, even big names like the New Martial Arts Association were turned away, so someone of her status probably wouldn't even qualify for an appointment.

Just as she stood there helplessly, struggling with her own thoughts, a young woman dressed in a well-tailored black business suit, with a capable demeanor and exquisite makeup, walked briskly from the elevator entrance.

The woman wore a standard, gentle smile, walked unhurriedly, and nodded slightly when she reached Zhou Keying. Her tone was gentle and respectful.
"Hello, are you Ms. Zhou Keying? I'm Mr. Shen's secretary, my name is Lin Wei. Mr. Shen is already waiting for you in his office, please come with me." Zhou Keying was slightly taken aback, her face filled with disbelief, and she subconsciously asked, "You...you know me? I didn't make an appointment, how did Mr. Shen know I was coming and even wait for me?"

She was filled with doubt. She had never had any contact with Dansheng Group, let alone made an appointment in advance. Shen Yingying was a well-known and influential figure in the provincial capital's business community. She was very busy. How could she possibly wait for an unknown person like her?
Did I mishear? Or did the other person mistake me for someone else?
Despite her mind being filled with questions, Zhou Keying knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that she absolutely could not miss.

She quickly suppressed her shock and confusion, straightened her clothes, forced a calm smile, and nodded: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, Secretary Lin."

After saying that, she followed closely behind Lin Wei and walked towards the private elevator deep in the lobby.

Along the way, she could feel the curious glances from the staff around her, glances that contained doubt, inquiry, and a hint of barely perceptible surprise...

Clearly, no one expected that such an ordinary-looking young girl would be personally received by President Shen's secretary and go directly to the top floor to see President Shen.

Lin Wei didn't say anything more and led Zhou Keying straight into an elevator marked "President's Only".

The elevator ascended smoothly, and the mirrored wall reflected Zhou Keying's slightly nervous face.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and silently recited her prepared opening remarks, afraid that she would be too nervous to speak when she saw Shen Yingying.

Soon, the elevator arrived at the top floor.

Stepping out of the elevator, you are greeted by a spacious and bright corridor. Valuable paintings hang on both sides of the corridor, and soft carpets cover the floor, making no sound when you step on them, exuding understated luxury everywhere.

Lin Wei led Zhou Keying to the door of an office at the end of the corridor. She gently knocked, and a soft yet firm "Please come in" came from inside. Lin Wei stepped aside and gestured for Zhou Keying to enter.

"Ms. Zhou, Mr. Shen is waiting for you inside."

Zhou Keying nodded, took a deep breath, and pushed open the office door.

Inside the door was a spacious, bright, and grandly laid-out CEO's office. Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows lay the bustling night view of the entire provincial capital, with sunlight streaming through the glass and illuminating the entire office.

Behind the desk, a woman dressed in a dark, sophisticated suit, with her long hair pulled back, exuding elegance and competence, slowly stood up...

With her upright posture, sharp eyes, and an aura of someone accustomed to being in a high position, she was none other than Shen Yingying, the general manager of Dansheng Group.

Upon seeing Zhou Keying enter, Shen Yingying showed no airs whatsoever. She proactively walked around the large desk, quickly stepping forward to greet her with a gentle smile and extremely polite manner, even displaying a subtle hint of respect.
"Hello, Ms. Zhou, welcome. I am Shen Yingying, the general manager of Dansheng Group."

Facing this powerful businesswoman who was influential and respected in the provincial capital's business world, Zhou Keying couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and her palms were sweating.

Although she was a strong woman in her own right, she ultimately couldn't compare to Shen Yingying. (End of Chapter)
