chapter 5 I'll give it a try

The two announcements from Emgrand Group completely set off a firestorm in Jin Ling.
Hearing about the change of ownership at Emgrand Group, the Xiao family realized why the Wang family was kicked out by Emgrand Group.
It seems that the new owner of Emgrand Group does not think highly of families like the Wangs.
But who exactly is this Bradlety Ye? He's incredible, isn't he? Buying the multi-billion-dollar Emgrand Group just like that, even the richest man in Jin Ling can't match this grandeur!
For a while, countless families were stirred up, on one hand hoping to establish a connection with this mysterious Bradlety Ye, and on the other hand, eager to have their daughters married into Ye's family.
Besides, Emgrand Group's plan to invest in a two billion yuan hotel project also shook the entire construction and decoration industry in Jin Ling!
Two billion!
Even a small piece of the project would mean a fortune!
Numerous companies were eager to get a share of the pie.
Of course, included the money-loving Old lady Xiao!
Old lady Xiao was excited at the moment, a two billion project was an excellent opportunity!
If the Xiao family could secure a contract from this, it would be a huge leap for them!
Therefore, she immediately ordered a family meeting at home tonight to discuss how to make a breakthrough in Emgrand Group's new project, and attendance was mandatory for everyone!
That night, at the Xiao family villa.
Since Old lady Xiao demanded everyone's presence, Bradlety Ye went along too.
He knew Old lady Xiao wanted to discuss how to get a share of Emgrand Group's big project.
So, he thought to use this opportunity to give his wife Lorcia Xiao some glory!
Upon arriving at the Xiao family villa, Lorcia Xiao's cousin Daniel Xiao immediately started mocking when he saw Ye,"Damn, Bradlety Ye, you really have a thick face, still showing up to see grandma!"
Lorcia Xiao coldly said,"Don't talk nonsense, grandma asked all Xiao family members to come, and Bradlety Ye, as my husband, is naturally part of the Xiao family!"
Daniel Xiao laughed and said,"He counts as a Xiao family member? He's just a son-in-law!"
Bradlety Ye touched his nose and said to Lorcia Xiao,"Let it be, wife, don't stoop to his level. Let's go in, so we don't keep grandma waiting."
Lorcia Xiao nodded, not giving Daniel Xiao any face, and walked in with Ye.
Seeing this, Daniel Xiao's face turned cold, thinking they would see what's coming to them.
Entering the meeting hall, Bradlety Ye and Lorcia Xiao found a corner to sit.
Soon, Old lady Xiao entered, and the family meeting officially began.
Old lady Xiao sat in the main seat, knocked on the table, and proudly said,"The Xiao family has been waiting for an opportunity for years, a chance to join the ranks of Jin Ling's elite. Now, this opportunity has finally come!"
Old lady Xiao loudly said,"This time, Emgrand Group has thrown out a two billion project. Whoever can secure a contract from it will benefit immensely!"
"Moreover, this is the first major project after the change of ownership at Emgrand Group. For our Xiao family, it's a great opportunity!"
"If we can cooperate with Emgrand Group and leave a good impression on the new owner, the future of the Xiao family will be limitless!"
Despite Old lady Xiao's spirited speech, the people below seemed unmoved.
Actually, the Xiao family had long been wanting to cooperate with Emgrand Group, but Emgrand Group had never paid any attention to them. Old lady Xiao's hope to get a share from Emgrand Group's new project now seemed impossible.
Seeing everyone silent, Old lady Xiao angrily questioned,"What's the matter? All dumb? Don't you have the confidence to get a piece of this two billion project?"
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to speak.
Old lady Xiao, even more furious, gritted her teeth and said,"I'll put it here today, whoever can negotiate a thirty million contract with Emgrand Group will be the director of the group!"
This statement stunned everyone present.
Old lady Xiao had always been autocratic, so there had never been a director position within the group. It was a significant role, almost reserved for a potential successor.
Old lady Xiao now used this position as a reward, clearly hoping that a substantial reward would bring forth a brave man, showing her extreme desire for the Emgrand Group project.
But, although the director's position was attractive, it was not easy to obtain.
In the eyes of the Xiao family, achieving cooperation with Emgrand Group and securing a thirty million contract? That's a joke. Even if Old lady Xiao herself went, Emgrand Group's executives wouldn't meet her, let alone discuss cooperation.
Inside the family meeting hall, it was dead silent.
Old lady Xiao, seeing this, furiously asked,"As descendants of the Xiao family, is there no one willing to share the family's worries?"
Then, she directly looked at Daniel Xiao,"Hailey, this task is yours!"
Daniel Xiao laughed nervously and quickly said,"Grandma, even Canille Wang's family has been kicked out by Emgrand Group. Our strength is even less than the Wangs, how could we possibly get a contract from Emgrand Group…"
Old lady Xiao immediately scolded,"Useless! You're even more useless than Bradlety Ye, giving up before even trying!"
Actually, Old lady Xiao also had no confidence, but she was not willing to always be the leader of a second or third-rate family. She dreamed of elevating the Xiao family to a higher level.
And this Emgrand Group project was the only opportunity.
So, even though it was difficult, she was unwilling to give up.
She had thought that Daniel Xiao, as the eldest grandson, would bravely accept this task, but to her surprise, he was backing out at this moment!
Daniel Xiao was also frustrated. Who would want to accept an impossible task? He might be kicked out even before entering Emgrand Group's doors.
Then, not only would he fail to accomplish the task, but he would also become a laughingstock. That's why he decided not to accept it at any cost.
After scolding Daniel Xiao, Old lady Xiao loudly asked,"What about the others? Does no one dare to take on this task?"
At this moment, Bradlety Ye gently nudged Lorcia Xiao with his elbow and whispered,"Wife, take on this task!"
Lorcia Xiao quickly said,"Are you crazy? Emgrand Group would never cooperate with a small company like the Xiao family!"
Bradlety Ye smiled confidently and said,"Don't worry, you can definitely negotiate this cooperation!"
Lorcia Xiao, puzzled, asked,"Really?"
Bradlety Ye confidently said,"Of course! I think you're completely capable! Seize this opportunity, and your status in the Xiao family will soar!"
For some reason, Lorcia Xiao found herself believing Bradlety Ye's words at that moment.
