Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Chu Feifei deeply understood that preventing gossip is even more critical than stopping a flood.

Even if she becomes the laughingstock today, she must publicly clear Jiang Feng's name!

"Fei'er, you're a young lady, how can you say anything?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned upon hearing Chu Feifei's resolute words.

In his heart, he had already begun to believe that he might have misjudged.

Perhaps he did wrong Jiang Feng, but he never expected Chu Feifei would defend Jiang Feng so fiercely!

"Wasn't it you who forced me to this point?"

Chu Feifei coldly stared at Zhu Houzhao: "Zhu Houzhao, you're a veteran of the Chu Family, search your conscience and think, if it weren't for Uncle, what would the Chu Family be like now?"

"It would probably have been taken over by Chu Yan long ago, right?"

"And would you all still have the chance to sit here in high positions?!"

"Uncle has been a restorer to the Chu Family, yet you don't repay his kindness and instead slander him; aren't you just a bunch of ingrates?"

"Fei'er, you..."

Zhu Houzhao, being someone from the martial world, valued reputation, and Chu Feifei nearly pointed at his nose, calling him ungrateful!

His face turned red immediately, but he was at a loss for words.

"And all of you!" Chu Feifei looked around at everyone and continued, "You misunderstood me because of Young Master Yi's death, I don't blame you!"

"But it was truly unintentional. If I had known my actions would lead to Young Master Yi's death, I would never have done it, even at the cost of my own life!"

"After the incident, even Uncle Zhuge didn't blame or hate me, so why do you doubt and suspect me?"

"Do you think I, Chu Feifei, don't understand empathy, or do you believe Uncle Zhuge to be so senile as to not see through you, allowing you to freely speculate and distort truth?"

Her words left everyone present speechless, with no one able to refute her.

The silence in the air was frightening.

After a while, Xu Xiaohong, who had first criticized, said, "Alright, Miss Fei'er. Even if everything you say is true, and we misunderstood you and Mr. Jiang, setting aside Young Master Yi's death and Vice Chairman Zhuge's matter for now, how will you prove you have the capability to lead us?"

"With the expansive assets of the Chu Family and the crucial chairman position, you can't expect us to simply submit to you, right? You must at least show us your capability or hope, don't you think?"

"Then how do you need me to prove it?" Chu Feifei calmly looked at Xu Xiaohong.

"Miss Fei'er, I cannot speak for everyone, but I will share my personal view."

Xu Xiaohong spoke in a businesslike tone, "First of all, our essence is that of businessmen; business is business."

"The core interest of businessmen is, after all, to make money!"

"In simple terms, our distrust of Miss Fei'er stems from the fact that, having been raised in luxury and comfort, you haven't yet shown the capability to lead us to growth, develop the group, and make money!"

"To gain our full confidence, you must achieve results in this area, agree?"

Chu Feifei furrowed her brow and continued to fix her gaze on Xu Xiaohong: "So? Go on!"

"If—and I repeat, if—" Xu Xiaohong maintained a calm demeanor, "Miss Fei'er, if you can, within ten days, earn five million through your own ability, then I'll acknowledge your capability to be our chairman. Otherwise, I can only feign allegiance, not truly follow."

"Five million?"

Chu Feifei was shocked!

"Exactly! And note the conditions I set: you must rely on your own efforts!"

"This means no using your savings or inherited funds, no accepting external help, no illegal activities, no loans, and no borrowing!"

"You must ensure every penny of that five million can be accounted for, traceable!"

"If you actually pull it off, I, Xu Xiaohong, will be the first to apologize and support you as chairman, silencing all doubt!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the meeting room was stunned!

Ten days, five million?

It's absurd for her to suggest such a thing!

Under such numerous restrictions, even if Chu Feifei sold a kidney, it wouldn't be possible!

And though Chu Feifei is popular in the streaming world, she never accepts gifts or fan rewards.

Even with a lucrative contract from a streaming platform, it would count as personal savings and hence inadmissible!

To earn five million in ten days on her own would be incredibly difficult for a girl like her, right?

"Ahem, President Xu, aren't these criteria a bit harsh? Forget about Miss Fei'er, even for us, it's unrealistic to go from nothing to a five million profit in ten days with those constraints. I'd say ten thousand is more like it."

A director, uncomfortable with the harsh terms, coughed and commented.

"To become the chairman of the Chu Family, one must accomplish the impossible! Connections, tactics, skills, none can be lacking! The great responsibilities appointed by Heaven are not easily passed!"

Xu Xiaohong finished calmly and looked at Chu Feifei: "So Miss Fei'er, do you believe you can take on this challenge?"

"Five million is too little, five billion is more like it!"

Just as Chu Feifei was at a loss for words, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside the meeting room!

Then, the meeting room door was kicked open.

Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Feng entered, accompanied by the stunning beauties Feng Yueji and Mu Yanluo!

"Jiang Feng?"

In an instant, those who had just confronted Chu Feifei showed signs of panic in their eyes.

The shadow of the person looms large; they dared to gossip about Jiang Feng behind his back, but when faced with him directly, they were indeed intimidated!

"Uncle? Why are you here, and Sister Feng..."

Chu Feifei, cornered into a desperate situation, was naturally overjoyed to see Jiang Feng arrive!

Why does he always show up at her most critical moments?

"Don't worry, Fei'er, I'm here." Jiang Feng calmly approached Chu Feifei, gently brushed her hair, then looked at Xu Xiaohong and said, "Quite impressive; your test is quite tricky. But—did you hear me clearly?"

"Five... five billion?"

Xu Xiaohong looked at Jiang Feng, full of shock and disbelief!

For a moment, she even thought Jiang Feng was mocking her!

"Mr. Jiang, are you serious? The deadline I proposed is only ten days, so what's your timeframe for this five billion?"

Jiang Feng held up one finger.

"One month?!"

Jiang Feng shook his head.

"One year?" Xu Xiaohong furrowed her brow again.

"One day!"

Jiang Feng's face was expressionless, yet his words were astonishing, unexpectedly bold!
