My Ares Son-in-Law

Just then, Zhou Keying suddenly remembered that at the family meeting last night, Xiao Chen had confidently persuaded her to take on the task, saying that she would definitely succeed.

And this morning at the entrance of the Dansheng Group building, when she was anxious and worried about being kicked out, Xiao Chen smiled and comforted her, saying that they would definitely give her a warm welcome...

Why was he so confident back then? Why was he so certain?

Did he already know that things would turn out this way?

Who exactly is he?

At that moment, a thought that even she found absurd flashed through Zhou Keying's mind... Could the mysterious boss that Shen Yingying mentioned be Xiao Chen, who was standing next to her?
But as soon as the thought popped into her head, she forcefully rejected it herself... It was too absurd, absolutely impossible!
Xiao Chen is indeed very capable and skilled, and he has helped her a lot, but he usually looks ordinary and doesn't seem like someone who can control a behemoth like Dansheng Group worth hundreds of billions.

Moreover, he never mentioned to her that he had any connection with the Dansheng Group, and the Dansheng Group would never allow a young man to become the person in charge behind the scenes!
But besides Xiao Chen, who else in this world would treat her so well? Who would go to such lengths to have Dansheng Group offer a 10 billion yuan cooperation deal just for her?

A billion is a sum that the Zhou family can only dream of, yet the other party directly offered ten billion. This is not just a simple "favoritism," but blatant favoritism and preferential treatment!
The more she thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. She couldn't help but raise her head, staring intently at Shen Yingying. Mustering her courage, she tentatively asked, "President Shen, if I may ask, is the chairman of your company... named Xiao Chen?"

Upon hearing the name "Xiao Chen," Shen Yingying's heart tightened instantly, and her palms broke out in a cold sweat.

Mr. Xiao specifically instructed that under no circumstances should his identity be revealed, and even his surname should not be mentioned to outsiders.

If Zhou Keying figured it out, she wouldn't be able to explain it to Mr. Xiao at all!
She quickly composed herself, her smile fading, her expression turning serious. She gently waved her hand and said solemnly:
"Ms. Zhou, I'm very sorry, but I cannot disclose this information. Our chairman's identity is a top-level trade secret of the company, and as the general manager, I have no right to speak about it to outsiders. Please understand."

Seeing Shen Yingying's slightly nervous expression, Zhou Keying's doubts deepened...

Shen Yingying's reaction was very unusual.

If Xiao Chen really had no connection with Dansheng Group, she would have denied it directly, instead of looking nervous and avoiding the question.

But she also knew that pressing further would be pointless. Since Shen Yingying had clearly stated that she couldn't reveal anything, further insistence would only make her seem inconsiderate and might even jeopardize the collaboration.

Thinking of this, Zhou Keying nodded slightly, suppressing her doubts, and forced a smile: "Okay, President Shen, I understand. I was presumptuous. Please don't mind."

……

When Zhou Keying came out of Shen Yingying's president's office, she was still dizzy and unsteady on her feet, as if she were walking on soft clouds. Her mind was blank, and all that remained was shock and a sense of unreality.

The tactile sensation of the paper against my fingertips is the only evidence that this is not a dream...

What she was clutching tightly in her hand was a cooperation agreement worth 10 billion yuan signed between Dansheng Group and Zhou's Group.

The gold-embossed logo of Dansheng Group on the cover gleamed brightly, its heavy weight causing her palms to tremble slightly, yet also filling her with an unprecedented surge of joy. It was unbelievable; it all felt like a dream.

Yesterday, they were mocked by the Zhou family for "seeking their own death," but today they have a contract worth tens of billions of yuan. It was Dansheng Group that offered them this opportunity, and the contract was even prepared in advance with all the terms favoring the Zhou family.

Who exactly is that mysterious chairman?
Why are they so biased towards her?
Countless questions swirled in my mind, but more than that, there was an overwhelming excitement, and a vague guess, which quietly entwined my heart like vines... Could all of this be related to Xiao Chen?

As Zhou Keying stepped out of the imposing revolving door of the Dansheng Group building, her gaze instantly pierced through the crowd and precisely locked onto Xiao Chen, who was waiting by the roadside.

He leaned against the car, his posture upright, the sunlight shining on him, outlining his calm and composed profile, as if he had expected everything, and was looking at her with a smile.

Unable to contain the excitement that had been building up inside her, Zhou Keying ran over and hugged his arm tightly, her voice trembling uncontrollably, her eyes sparkling with a bright light.

"Xiao Chen! I really did it! I really signed a contract with Dansheng Group!"

Looking at her overjoyed expression, Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with a gentle smile, and he chuckled to himself... I am the behind-the-scenes boss of Dansheng Group. I personally instructed Shen Yingying to prepare the contract for you. How could you possibly fail to reach an agreement?
But on the surface, he feigned surprise, deliberately widening his eyes exaggeratedly, his tone full of "admiration": "You were able to handle such a difficult project? My friend is amazing! No wonder I have high hopes for him!"

Zhou Keying shook her head vigorously, her smile tinged with confusion and bewilderment: "It wasn't my doing, really not."

"It's practically like Dansheng Group gave it to me for free. President Shen didn't even look at my information carefully before agreeing to the cooperation, and he even raised my original offer of 1 billion to 10 billion..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but lower her voice, "Moreover, President Shen said that it was their chairman who specifically instructed them to do this. That chairman thinks highly of me, but I don't know him at all."

"Oh? Is that so?" Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance, but a mischievous glint in his eyes. "So mysterious? Could it be that some important figure has recognized your talent?"

Zhou Keying opened her mouth, intending to express her suspicions about Xiao Chen, but then she thought that without any evidence, it would seem absurd if she was just overthinking things.

Moreover, Xiao Chen had never mentioned anything related to Dansheng Group, and she didn't want to speculate, lest it create an awkward situation between the two of them.

So she quickly changed the subject, grabbing Xiao Chen's arm, her tone urgent and excited:
"Oh dear, that's a long story, I'll tell you later. Let's hurry to the Zhou Group and tell everyone this good news! Let those who look down on us see what's going on!"

Xiao Chen laughed heartily, letting her pull him along, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes:

"Alright! Perfect timing! This time, that kid Zhou Hao will have to keep his bet and kneel down and kowtow three times to you in front of the whole family!"

It wasn't that he was petty or vindictive; it was simply that one couldn't afford to be lenient with a scoundrel like Zhou Hao. (End of Chapter)
