"Ahem! Pay attention to your image!"

Chen Hai lightly coughed and said, "You're overthinking it. To make Xu Hao lose now, it would probably take at least a peak Late Stage Grandmaster to come and challenge him. Besides, who knows if Xu Hao has any hidden cards?"

"Hmph! This guy is too arrogant. It would be fun to see him fail for once, to let him taste defeat once!" Chen Suyi said, somewhat indignantly.

Chen Hai spoke earnestly, "Sigh, Suyi, not that I'm nagging, but although you and Xiaoxiao aren't young, you really don't see the real problem here! Let's not talk about distant matters—just look at the current situation. Can Xu Hao afford to lose even once? Can he really afford it?"

Chen Suyi pursed her lips and said, "It's just a loss, what's the big deal? If he loses, he can just start over again, can't he?"

"You guys are oversimplifying things!"

Chen Hai said helplessly, "Actually, Xu Hao absolutely cannot afford to lose! Not even once! He's currently surrounded by enemies on all sides. If he doesn't want to be defeated and become a stepping stone for others, he has to keep struggling! If he loses one day, everything he has now will be taken by his enemies! Including Liu Ruyan and Qin Yao. Although they seem to have a good life now, if Xu Hao loses, what do you think their fate will be?"

Chen Suyi suddenly felt a chill down her spine!

She immediately fell silent.

Indeed, if Xu Hao lost one day, then the fate of Liu Ruyan and the others wouldn't be much better.

Xu Hao's enemies were getting stronger, and now even the Tu family had appeared. It was a Half Hidden Family that Chen Hai's influence couldn't suppress.

The last time the Third Young Master of the Tu family, Tu Yilong, came here, although he was just a Third Young Master and probably didn't have the highest status or even a tenth of the Tu family's power, he still had the audacity to show no respect to Chen Hai!

If the influential figures of the Tu family came out, how much impact could they cause?

They might even imprison Chen Hai directly!

Although they couldn't directly attack Chen Hai due to his status, they could block him with manpower, leaving him powerless.

If the Tu family defeated Xu Hao, would Chen Suyi dare to save Liu Ruyan and the others?

Although Chen Suyi wanted to help in her heart, reason told her she couldn't!

Seeing Chen Suyi fall silent, Chen Hai stopped speaking.

His daughter was not stupid. On the contrary, she was quite smart. It's just that she used to have everything go smoothly, and suddenly faced setbacks with Xu Hao, who even slightly scolded and humiliated her with words. Her strong self-esteem couldn't take it.

But actually, with just a little guidance, she could still be sensible.

Before the banquet building, thousands of guests were talking and laughing, sharing their stories.

Every story was different.

Inside the office building of the Chairman, President, and General Manager. Text acquired from M|V|LEMP&YR.

Xu Hao was sitting seriously in his seat.

Qin Yao rolled her eyes and said, "Do you really not plan to go out and greet those guests, and instead sit here eavesdropping on their conversations?"

Xu Hao immediately said, "How can you say that? Can this be called eavesdropping? I'm just looking for information related to us. Besides, there are so many guests, I can't possibly greet each one, right? Since I can't greet them all individually, I might as well not go at all. This way, everyone will definitely praise me for being impartial."

"What a load of self-praise!" Qin Yao said, somewhat speechlessly, "Others might just be winking at it, but even your little lover Chen Suyi and your maidservant Chu Xiaoxiao are here, and yet you're not going to greet them. Be careful, they might switch their affections!"

"Sigh, I realize more and more that you're really asking for a beating!"

Xu Hao laughed, and from seven or eight meters away, he pulled Qin Yao into his arms for a long kiss.

After a long while, he finally said, "When does Ruyan's flight arrive? Let's go pick her up."

"Oh—you're not going to greet your little lovers because you're going to pick up your main wife!" Qin Yao teased.

"Main wife or not, to me, you're all the same. Come on, let's go pick her up together."

Xu Hao pulled Qin Yao along and walked outside, then personally drove out of the group headquarters' back gate.

At ten o'clock.

On the first floor of the banquet building, where the grand ceremony was being held.

This place could accommodate 5,000 people for the banquet, with a massive area that deeply shocked all attendees.

Many swore they had never seen such a large banquet hall in their lives.

It was said that the upper floors housed numerous meeting rooms.

Each company of the Xu Liu Group had its own meeting rooms, distinctly categorized.
