The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 5

The news released by the Emgrand Group sent shockwaves throughout Aurous Hill.

Upon learning that the Emgrand Group had changed ownership, the Wilson Family finally understood why the White Family had been ousted by them.

It appeared that the new owner of the Emgrand Group still looked down on Families like the Whites.

But who exactly is Master Wade? This man seems incredibly powerful after all, the Emgrand Group, valued at hundreds of billions, can acquire anything it desires. Even the richest individual in Aurous Hill cannot match his generosity!

As a result, numerous families were clamoring to make their move. They were eager to connect with the elusive Master Wade while simultaneously hoping for their daughters to marry him.

Moreover, the Emgrand Group announced plans for a $2 billion hotel project, which sent shockwaves through the construction and decoration industry in Aurous Hill!

$2 billion!

Even securing a small portion could lead to immense profits!

Countless companies were vying for a chance to be involved.

Among them was the money-centric Lady Wilson!

Lady Wilson was thrilled at the news. A $2 billion project presents a significant opportunity! If the Wilson family were to secure a contract, it would be a monumental success!

Thus, she immediately ordered a family meeting at home that night to strategize about how to break into the Emgrand Group’s new project, insisting that everyone must attend!

That evening at the Wilson family villa.

Since the Lady required everyone’s presence, Charlie accompanied Claire.

He was aware that the Lady planned to discuss how to obtain a share of the major project from the Emgrand Group. He wanted to seize this opportunity to help his wife, Claire, gain some recognition!

Upon arriving at the Wilson family villa, Claire’s cousin Harold wasted no time in mocking Charlie, “Seriously, Charlie, you’re unbelievable! How can you even show your face here to see grandma?”

Claire retorted coldly, “Stop talking nonsense. It was grandma who summoned everyone from the Wilson family. Charlie is my husband, so naturally, he belongs to the Wilson family!”

Harold scoffed, “He’s not a true member of the Wilson family! He’s just a son-in-law!”

Charlie rubbed his nose and said to Claire, “Let it go, dear. Don’t waste your breath on him. Let’s head in so we don’t keep grandma waiting.”

Claire nodded, ignoring Harold and entered with Charlie.

Harold’s expression soured at this, knowing trouble awaited.

Once inside the conference room, Charlie and Claire found a seat in the corner.

Soon, Lady Wilson entered and the family meeting officially commenced.

Lady Wilson took her place at the head of the table, rapped lightly on it and announced enthusiastically, “The Wilson family has been waiting for a golden opportunity for years, one that can elevate us to a wealthy family in Aurous Hill! That opportunity has finally arrived!”

Lady Wilson continued, “The Emgrand Group is launching a $2 billion project. Whoever manages to secure a collaboration contract will reap substantial rewards! And this is the first major project since the Emgrand Group changed hands. This is a fantastic opportunity for our family! If we can partner with the Emgrand Group and make a great impression on its new owner, the future of our family will be boundless!”

Despite her enthusiasm, there was a palpable silence among the attendees.

In truth, the Wilson family had long coveted a partnership with the Emgrand Group. For ages, they had been ignored, so why would the Lady suddenly believe they could secure a piece of the new project?

Noticing the silence, the Lady grew incensed and asked, “What? Has everyone lost their voices? Don’t you think you can snag even a small portion of this $2 billion project?”

Everyone exchanged glances, too intimidated to speak.

The Lady’s frustration boiled over, she gritted her teeth and declared, “Let me be clear. Whoever can negotiate a partnership share of $30 million from the Emgrand Group will become the group’s director!”

Her announcement left the room in shock.

For as long as the Lady had led, she had never established a director position after all, that title held significant power and was typically reserved for the family’s future successor.

Now she was offering the role as an incentive, hoping to spur someone into action. It was clear she felt an urgent need for the Emgrand Group project.

However, while the position of director was appealing, it wouldn’t be easily obtained.

To the Wilson family, landing a contract with the Emgrand Group for $30 million felt like a pipe dream. Even if Lady Wilson herself went in person, the executives at Emgrand would likely ignore her, let alone engage in discussions about a partnership.

The meeting hall fell into an uneasy silence.

Witnessing this, Lady Wilson snapped, “As members of the Wilson family, is there truly no one willing to help shoulder our burdens?”

She then fixed her gaze on Harold, “Harold, I want you to handle this!”

Harold chuckled nervously, “Grandma, even Gerald White’s Family has been pushed out by the Emgrand Group. Our strength is even less than that of the Whites. What chance do we have at securing a contract with them?”

Lady Wilson scolded, “Useless! You’re giving up before even trying! You’re worse than Charlie, who’s nothing but a waste!”

In truth, Lady Wilson wasn’t entirely confident herself, but she didn’t want to be stuck managing a second or third rate family indefinitely. She envisioned the Wilson family rising to greater heights.

The Emgrand Group project represented their best opportunity.

Thus, despite the challenges, she refused to let go of this chance. She had anticipated Harold, as the eldest grandson, would seize this task enthusiastically, so it disheartened her to see him hesitating.

Harold felt frustrated as well. Who would willingly take on such an impossible task? He feared being rejected before even approaching the Emgrand Group.

Not only would he fail, but it would also turn him into a laughingstock, so he was determined not to agree, no matter what.

After reprimanding Harold, Lady Wilson called out, “What about the rest of you? Does no one dare to take on this challenge?”

Charlie gently nudged Claire with his elbow and whispered, “Wife, you should take on this task!”

Claire quickly retorted, “Are you crazy? There’s no way the Emgrand Group would collaborate with a small family like the Wilsons!”

Charlie replied with a reassuring smile, “Trust me, you’ll definitely succeed in negotiating this partnership!”

Claire looked at him in surprise, “Really?”

Charlie affirmed with certainty, “Absolutely! I have no doubt you can do this! Seize this opportunity and your standing in the Wilson family will soar in the future!”

For reasons she couldn’t quite grasp, Claire suddenly felt a surge of belief in Charlie’s words.

Before she knew it, she stood up and addressed Lady Wilson, “Grandma, I’m willing to give it a shot…”
