Chapter 177: Have Qin Jiang give up the spot!
When Qin Jiang drove Xu Muge to the Xu Family home, Du Hao's car had just entered the premises.
Qin Jiang said, "Later, someone will bring an invitation over to you."
Xu Muge, astonished, replied, "Really? I thought you were joking."
After all, there had been no whispers about this major project before—it was all insider information. How could Qin Jiang have gotten his hands on it so quickly?
Through Shen Longting or Zhao Yuefei's connections?
"You don't need to worry about that," Qin Jiang said with a smile. "Delivering the invitation to you in front of the Xu Family will allow you to hold your head high. At the very least, you won't have to suffer the Xu Family's snubs, and the same goes for your parents."
He joked, "If I don't take this opportunity to make your parents see me in a new light and clear up the misunderstanding between us, they might truly start supporting Du Hao wholeheartedly from now on."
Xu Muge was deeply moved, "Only you would be clever enough to think of that. But Du Hao was very supportive of me in college, he's not a bad person. Don't take it personally with him; I'll find an opportunity to clarify things with him."
Xu Muge, arm in arm with Qin Jiang, walked into the Xu Family banquet hall.
Du Hao could only follow Xu Jinhong and Liu Ya into the hall, feeling extremely stifled.
"Just wait, I'll show you! Stupid loser!"
Du Hao sneered to himself.
At this moment, Old Mr. Xu, Xu Jiang, was seated at the head of the table, with over a hundred guests below him, including Xu Huanhuan, Xu Zilong, Wei Zijing, and others, all present.
However, what had been an exceptionally lively birthday banquet quieted down the instant Qin Jiang and the others stepped in; almost all eyes turned towards them simultaneously, displaying a variety of expressions.
"Oh, isn't this my dear sister, Xu Muge? Why are you still with Qin Jiang? Your good days are coming to an end," Xu Huanhuan said in a taunting tone, with an implied meaning; she still harbored a grudge over being infuriated to the point of vomiting blood last time at Hongfeng Villa District.
But according to some rumors, Xu Muge had offended a very important person!
Their days of hopping around were numbered!
Moreover, the last time Xu Muge celebrated her birthday, it was only successful because Zhao Yuefei had backed her up! Now, with Zhao Corporation under scrutiny, what backing could Xu Muge possibly have?
Xu Zilong sneered, "They could barely manage to open a company. But when our Xu Family's enterprise city officially launches, it will soar to great heights!"
"Don't say such things. What if they also manage to get a slot in the enterprise city? Although that's unlikely, haha—" Wei Zijing laughed heartily, "They probably don't even know what the enterprise city is, right?"
At once, over a hundred members of the Xu Family laughed aloud.
Especially Old Mr. Xu, Xu Jiang, who laughed heartily and pridefully, "Xu Jinhong, I gave you a chance back then, but you didn't know how to seize it. To have such a useless idiot of a son brings me eight lifetimes of bad luck!"

Xu Jinhong's face immediately darkened, and Liu Ya's face flushed red. They had not expected to be subjected to such ridicule by the Xu Family as soon as they entered the banquet hall.
If they had known this would happen, they wouldn't have come at all!
At first, Xu Jinhong thought the old man had changed his ways, which was why he invited their family, but now, it was clear they were invited just to be humiliated and ridiculed!
"We have a slot in the enterprise city!"
Suddenly, Du Hao seized the opportunity to step forward, blocking in front of Xu Jinhong and Liu Ya, and looked around at the crowd, proclaiming, "Qin Jiang said he has already secured a slot for Xu!"
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Qin Jiang to show it to you!"
Swish!
As soon as these words came out, the entire place went silent.
Old Mr. Xu and others all frowned. Did Qin Jiang really have that much influence?
"Du, why would you say something like that?" Liu Ya hurried over to tug at his arm.
Xu Jinhong was also extremely anxious. Wouldn't this just create embarrassment for themselves? How could Qin Jiang, a simple driver, possibly get a slot in the enterprise city?
If Qin Jiang lost face, they would be embarrassed as well!
"Don't worry, once Qin Jiang's true colors are exposed, I'll salvage our dignity. I will definitely be able to secure the enterprise city slot for Xu," Du Hao reassured softly, brimming with confidence.
"Such a show-off!" Wei Zijing said contemptuously.
"And you are?" Xu Huanhuan and Xu Zilong coldly turned to look at Du Hao.
Proudly, Du Hao declared, "From Jinling's Xiao Family, Du Hao!"
