My Ares Son-in-Law

Hearing Wang Xiong's tone, which was pretending to be tough but actually revealed a lack of confidence, Xiao Chen couldn't help but sneer out loud, with a bit of contempt and disdain in his laughter:
"Do you really think of yourself as my boss? To tell you the truth, even if Lin Youya called me personally, it would be a waste of effort for me.

If there is nothing else, I will hang up now. I don't even know Huang Yuandong. Eat and drink well and enjoy your 'feast'. That's it. I will hang up now."

Xiao Chen lightly pressed the hang-up button, a meaningful sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth. That smile contained both mockery of Wang Xiong's ignorance and pride in his own firm stance.

He continued to concentrate on the work in his hands, as if the phone call just now was just a gust of insignificant wind that blew past gently and left no trace.

But at the Wang family’s house, the situation was completely different.

Wang Xiong held the phone, his face ashen, his eyes flashing with resentment and anger.

Next to him, Huang Yuandong, who was sitting on the sofa, had a calm smile on his face. There was a sense of detached calmness in that smile, as if everything was under control.

He gently shook the wine glass in his hand, and the red wine swayed gently in the glass, reflecting the unfathomable calculation in his eyes.

Huang Yuandong thought to himself that Wang Xiong was, after all, the company's vice president. In name, he held a high position, but in reality, he held real power and had an influence on the company's affairs that could not be underestimated.

And Xiao Chen was just a small clerk in the public relations department. According to common sense, how could Xiao Chen dare to disobey Wang Xiong's orders? Wouldn't he come and obey his orders happily?
Wang Xiong's hand holding the phone trembled slightly unconsciously, and his face looked extremely ugly, as if what he had just answered was not a simple call, but a judgment that was enough to plunge him into the abyss.

He never expected that Xiao Chen, a seemingly docile subordinate on weekdays, would reject him so resolutely and even hung up the phone mercilessly before he could finish his words!

At this moment, Wang Xiong's heart was filled with astonishment and anger. He felt as if he had been slapped in the face in public and lost face.

What made him even more embarrassed was that Huang Yuandong was sitting next to him, looking at him with a playful look on his face, as if to say, "Is this the person you said could help me settle everything?"

Wang Xiong's expression became even uglier. He forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, trying to hide his embarrassment: "He's a little busy over there, so he might not have heard me clearly. Mr. Huang, please sit down for a while. I'll call him and urge him."

After saying that, Wang Xiong couldn't wait to pick up the phone, ready to dial Xiao Chen's number again, but his hand stopped in mid-air and he was hesitant to press the dial button.

He knew very well that even if he called again, Xiao Chen's attitude would not change at all, and he would only feel more embarrassed.

Huang Yuandong, who was standing aside, looked at Wang Xiong's hesitant expression, his smile gradually faded, and a hint of imperceptible worry flashed in his eyes.

He didn't expect that Xiao Chen, a young man, would not even give face to the company's top management and rejected his request so firmly.

The development of the matter seemed to have deviated from Huang Yuandong's expectations again, and he felt a little uneasy. Huang Yuandong secretly wondered in his heart, what exactly did Xiao Chen rely on to dare to challenge the authority of the company so boldly? Is there any unknown secret behind this young man?

If Xiao Chen believed that he went to Wang Xiong in order to put pressure on him, and once Xiao Chen really didn't care about the pressure from Wang Xiong, it would undoubtedly make him hate himself even more, and this hatred might become an insurmountable gap between them.

"Wang Xiong," Huang Yuandong said with a hint of pleading and helplessness in his tone, "you must make it clear to Mr. Xiao that I have come to him sincerely to apologize. Don't let him misunderstand my intention." Huang Yuandong's words were very clever, which not only showed his sincerity but also left himself a way out.

He knew very well that in this complex situation, it was crucial to maintain a certain degree of flexibility and leeway.

He didn't ask Wang Xiong to suppress Xiao Chen. All this was because Wang Xiong misunderstood his meaning and expressed it incorrectly. It had nothing to do with him, Huang Yuandong!

Wang Xiong was secretly surprised when he heard what Huang Yuandong said.

He didn't expect that Xiao Chen's medical skills were so advanced that even Huang Yuandong, a man with connections and influence in the business world, had to ask him for help, and he had to put on a smile and even apologized proactively to seek his help.

Wang Xiong couldn't help but think of Xiao Chen's calm and confident look, and he couldn't help but feel a little awed. He realized that he might have underestimated this young man. Xiao Chen's medical skills and his way of dealing with people were far beyond his reach.

At this moment, Wang Xiong felt mixed emotions.

He was amazed by Xiao Chen's medical skills, shocked by Huang Yuandong's bowing his head, and confused about his position in this game. He knew that he had to find his own foothold in this complex situation.

"Mr. Huang, don't worry, I understand." There was a hint of calmness and determination in Wang Xiong's voice. He patted his chest gently to show his confidence.

Then, he turned his head and gently looked at Lin Youya, who was sitting beside him, concentrating on playing with her phone, with a gentle smile on his lips: "My dear niece, can you talk to me?"

Lin Youya raised her head, her bright eyes sparkling with wisdom.

She was so smart that she had roughly guessed the ins and outs of the matter based on the conversation between the two of them just now and some details from the previous banquet. After all, as one of the parties involved, she had the most intuitive feeling about the beginning and end of this storm.

In fact, Lin Youya secretly hoped that Xiao Chen could help Huang Yuandong.

She knew very well that once Xiao Chen agreed to this, Huang Yuandong would owe her company a huge favor, and would naturally spare no effort to help her solve various problems in the future, such as those complicated procedures. This was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her.

However, Lin Youya is a very principled person. Although she longs for Xiao Chen's help, she is unwilling to force him to do so.

What's more, Xiao Chen only agreed to be her bodyguard, and the relationship between the two was not to the point where he could be dispatched at will. She understood that Xiao Chen was a person with his own independent thoughts and principles of conduct, and she could not easily persuade or manipulate him.

Therefore, when Lin Youya heard Wang Xiong's invitation, although she was a little hesitant, she finally decided to put down the phone in her hand and nodded with a smile.

"Okay!" Lin Youya smiled gently, with a sense of ease and calmness in her smile. She stood up gracefully, with a graceful figure, like a blooming lily. (End of this chapter)
