The Crazy Son-In-Law

The afternoon passed in a conversation between Xiao Shun and Mo Yibai.

As dusk settled, the two bid farewell.

After dropping Mo Yibai back at his hotel, Xiao Shun drove home.

The task entrusted to Yao Cen naturally couldn’t be considered accomplished.

But this couldn’t be blamed on Xiao Shun’s inefficiency. After all, Tan Haohan had been quick to act, having already signed Mo Yibai as the spokesperson for a new product. Xiao Shun was powerless in this situation.

The only way to break this deadlock was to find flaws in the rival product’s production, terminate the cooperation between the two parties before they launched their advertisement.

Talking about it is easy, but the execution is quite challenging!

Opening the front door, Xiao Shun immediately saw Yao Cen sitting in the living room.

“You’re back early today,” he said, quickly walking over and sitting next to her, a warm smile on his face.

Seeing this, Yao Cen glared at her husband and then handed him her phone, asking, “What’s this about?”

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Shun was puzzled, quickly looking at the phone screen.

“Mo Yibai signed a collaboration with Galaxy Biotech under Tan Haohan, and Galaxy Biotech eventually secured the endorsement of the national goddess for a staggering one hundred million dollars!”

The screen displayed this news, with the viewership reaching an astounding eight hundred thousand. This was just a real-time news released twenty minutes ago!

Clearly, this news was likely to be tomorrow’s headline.

Of course, even if you remove the “likely,” no one would argue.

“We were a step too late,” Xiao Shun retracted his gaze, shaking his head helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Yao Cen exclaimed in frustration, “Leshang Media is really unscrupulous. Clearly, Mo Yibai has a contract with us, so why did they go ahead and sign a deal with Galaxy Biotech, letting Mo Yibai become their spokesperson?”

Seeing this, Xiao Shun patted Yao Cen’s shoulder, explaining, “Well, we can’t blame them. If we have to blame someone, it’s Tan Haohan. He didn’t specify what product Mo Yibai would be endorsing in advance, and old He was probably blinded by the one billion endorsement fee, so he didn’t ask for details!”

Indeed, it was truly not He Guangji’s fault. He was straightforward by nature and wasn’t accustomed to all the cunning schemes. Faced with Tan Haohan, a sly old fox, he was bound to lose.

Yao Cen pushed away Xiao Shun’s hand, furious. “It’s too late for this. You’re defending them. They are just a pack of ungrateful wolves!”

Xiao Shun knew that his wife was angry at the moment. Clearly, reasoning wouldn’t work, so he could only sit there and smile obediently.

After venting her frustration, Yao Cen realized that she might have been too harsh. After all, He Guangji was her husband’s good friend, and scolding him so fiercely was a bit much.

But then again, for the online live broadcast, she had been busy for several days, almost working late every night, all centered around this pivotal point. Now, with the project about to be sealed, the original chosen live star was snatched away by someone else. It was fake to say that Yao Cen wasn’t angry!

Naturally, Xiao Shun understood her feelings and did not blame his wife for what had just happened.

Seeing Yao Cen’s anger gradually subside, he continued to console her, “Don’t worry too much. We still have a way to break this deadlock.”

“They’ve already signed the contract. What can we do?” Yao Cen asked.

Xiao Shun smiled mysteriously and replied, “The advertisement hasn’t been released yet. As long as we find the flaws in their product before they launch the ad, everything will be resolved!”

Upon hearing this, a glint of hope sparkled in Yao Cen’s eyes. Suddenly, she regained her energy and said, “Right, why didn’t I think of that?”

But as her joy spread to her eyebrows, it suddenly cooled down, and she looked at Xiao Shun with concern.

“It’s a good plan, but the people at Galaxy Biotech aren’t fools. They won’t let us find a flaw so easily, will they?”

“Heh heh, your husband is no ordinary person. How can something that’s not challenging highlight my awesomeness?” Xiao Shun said proudly, touching his nose. His proud demeanor made Yao Cen glance at him with affection.

She naturally believed in her husband. Since he was so confident, he must have a plan in mind. All she had to do now was wait for good news!

However, what Yao Cen didn’t expect was that at this moment, Xiao Shun, who appeared calm and collected, was actually feeling quite nervous inside.

Anyone can boast, but whether one can live up to the boast is another matter altogether.

“I still have some documents waiting for me at headquarters. I need to go to work!” Yao Cen said, giving Xiao Shun a faint smile before heading to the study.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

After seeing off his hardworking wife, Xiao Shun moved upstairs. As he approached the door of the room, he faintly heard a miserable groan.

“This jerk…”

Chuckling to himself, he went straight to the door and entered the room.

Inside, lay a dispirited foreigner-Louis, the same man whom Zhu Que had been “treating” for the last two days.

Under the dim light, the once elegant Duke of Death was now marked with bruises and scars.

“Why do you make things so difficult for yourself? I’m just trying to get some information from you, that’s all,” Xiao Shun said, shaking his head in exasperation.

Since the acupuncture, Xiao Shun had removed the iron chains binding Louis, giving him a certain degree of freedom.

Struggling to support himself against the wall, Louis approached Xiao Shun, his pallid face filled with deep resentment. Through gritted teeth, he uttered three words, “Just kill me!”

Sighing, Xiao Shun shook his head. Dealing with this stubborn guy was truly challenging. Even an interrogator as skilled as Zhu Que was finding Louis exhausting, demonstrating the man’s unwavering determination.

Turning away, Xiao Shun left the room, deciding that from now on, he would have to work on breaking Louis down and see who could endure longer.

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Taking it out and glancing at the caller ID, he quickly answered the call.

“Mr. Xiao, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!” came He Guangji’s apologetic voice from the other end of the line.

Xiao Shun chuckled, “It’s alright, I know you didn’t mean it. I will figure out how to handle this, just do what you need to do on your end.”
