Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Hearing Xu Ke’s laughter, the old man Xu immediately noticed him.

"What are you laughing about, you brat? Your dad and I are playing chess here, it has nothing to do with you!"

As soon as the old man Xu said that, Xu Ke quickly shut his mouth.

He knew that at this moment he absolutely could not talk back to his grandfather, otherwise he’d face very serious consequences.

After about five minutes, the two finally finished playing, and the old man Xu barely won.

However, Xu Hua was clearly very dissatisfied; he thought that if the old man Xu hadn’t cheated, he would have won.

"Alright, I have some matters to discuss with Xu Ke, you can head back first." With that, the old man Xu kicked Xu Hua out.

Xu Ke was at a loss for words to describe his feelings about this matter.

Since his father and grandfather made up, their relationship became like this.

Whenever the two of them were together, it was either bickering or bickering.

"Grandson, tomorrow is the banquet, you should know that, right?"

Xu Ke lightly nodded to show he knew.

"Since you already know, I won’t dwell on it. Just now I received news that most of the CEOs have arrived in Jingcheng. Those who haven’t yet, are still on the way."

Xu Ke knew this as well; he didn’t understand why the old man Xu was telling him this.

It couldn’t be that he was asking him to protect these people – how could he possibly manage that with so many people?

"Grandpa, if you have something to say, just say it. We’re both straightforward people here, no need to beat around the bush."

Xu Ke’s reaction surprised the old man Xu; he didn’t expect his grandson, after only a few days as the CEO, had already grown to such a level.

It seemed the Xu Group really had promising successors; the old man Xu was quite gratified!

"Since you say so, I won’t drag it out. Didn’t I tell you last time, the Dongfang Family will also attend the banquet? According to my information, Dongfang Shuo, the family head, has already arrived in Jingcheng. But now isn’t the best time for the two of us to meet, I mean, tomorrow morning, arrange a private room for the two of us."

Upon hearing the old man Xu’s request, Xu Ke suddenly felt a bit troubled.

Although he was the main character tomorrow, most people were there because of his grandfather.

If his grandfather hid away in a private room, what would those CEOs think?

"Grandpa, you’re putting me in a tough spot. These people came because of you; if you show your face and then hide away, how will they view you, and how will they view me?"

Xu Ke had too many things to consider, leaving no room for sloppiness.

The old man Xu didn’t expect the matter to be so complicated, but for him, as long as he could meet with Dongfang Shuo, nothing else mattered.

Regarding the others, it was entirely for the company’s future.

The remaining attendees were mostly elites from various sectors, even some government officials.

If Xu Ke could build good relations with them, the Xu Group’s future would be very smooth.

"These issues I’ll leave to you, I’ll only focus on meeting with your Grandpa Dongfang. Once we meet, don’t let anyone disturb us, or else I’ll deal with you when I get back."

The old man Xu simply threw all matters onto Xu Ke, becoming hands-off himself.

It was at this moment Xu Ke suddenly felt he’d been duped and seriously suspected his grandfather’s aim in hosting the banquet was just to catch up with his old friend.

Though the claim was for Xu Ke’s future networking, he couldn’t shake the feeling of being set up.

Thinking about all the big shots tomorrow, Xu Ke felt a headache coming on.

Although the Xu Group now had no infected cases, those big shots weren’t easy to deal with.

Their collective power couldn’t be underestimated; it was plenty to crush a giant.

If he didn’t give them face tomorrow, the repercussions could be severe.

The old man Xu’s request was purely to give Xu Ke more trouble, not wanting his grandson to enjoy some peaceful days.

But with Grandpa’s words spoken, Xu Ke gritted his teeth and had no choice but to take them on.

He needed to quickly come up with a plan, otherwise, those big shots would eat him alive.

Xu Ke didn’t understand; why make a meeting so mysterious? His grandfather was already quite elderly, and frail; it’d be easier to invite them home directly.

Having thought it over, without an immediate solution, Xu Ke opted to let it be for now. Wait for the day and see what happens, perhaps a solution might come.

Early the next morning, Xu Ke rushed to Jingcheng Restaurant.

The Xu Group had reserved the entire Jingcheng Restaurant for the day.

Besides this, Xu Ke specially had Murong Hai arrange a small squad nearby for concealed security.

No unexpected incidents could occur at this banquet; otherwise, the fallout would be extremely severe.

Around 8 o’clock, guests began arriving one by one, and as the host, Xu Ke naturally needed to personally greet them.

The old man Xu leisurely sat in a chair, occasionally greeted by acquaintances.

Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar figures, Xu Ke felt somewhat out of place with them.

They all seemed at least thirty-something, most were in their forties and fifties.

Yet there he was, a twenty-something, seated on equal footing with these CEOs.

He often saw these people on TV, enough to show all attendees were industry leaders.

The banquet was set to begin at 10, and by 9, more than half had arrived.

Following the instructions from the old man Xu, Xu Ke continued waiting for the Dongfang Family.

Yet he kept waiting without seeing them, even wondering if the old man Xu’s information might be false.

Time ticked away, with the banquet about to start when suddenly a stretch Bugatti Veyron pulled up at the hotel’s entrance.

Soon after, a white-haired elder leisurely stepped out from the passenger side, followed by a man and a woman.

At first glance, Xu Ke felt this old man was definitely not as simple as he seemed.

From the old man, Xu Ke sensed something familiar, akin to what he saw in the old man Xu.

At this moment, the white-haired elder, supported by the girl, leisurely walked inside.

Upon getting a close view, Xu Ke immediately recognized the old man.

Based on the old man Xu’s description, this person should be Dongfang Shuo, the head of the Dongfang Family.

The two trailing behind him should be family members.
