After saying that, the old lady added, "Even if the chairman of the Delaney Group isn't willing to come, it's okay to invite Vivian.

She's the second - in - command of the Delaney Group, and inviting her would also be very prestigious."

As she said this, the head of the Mill family was already beaming with excitement.

When she thought of those large groups and prominent families that had looked down on the Mill family in the past,

and how they might have to rely on the Mill family in the future, her heart couldn't help but race with excitement.

The Mill family would become even more glorious in her hands!

Mia thought for a while before answering hesitantly, "I understand. I'll give it a try..."

"This isn't about giving it a try! You must invite them!"

Mia nodded slightly, then whispered to Alan nervously, "What should we do?

What if the chairman of the Delaney Group doesn't come? What if Vivian isn't willing to come either?"

Alan chuckled and said, "Just give it a shot. Don't you have Vivian's phone number?

Maybe they'll agree as soon as you call."

The banquet hosted by the Mill family was not only to showcase the strength of the Mill family to the outside world but also to announce Mia's promotion to general manager at the banquet.

Since his wife was being promoted to general manager, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him, as her husband, to show his support.

My wife has been promoted to general manager, and as her husband, I must go to show my support.

She let out a sigh, still feeling conflicted, and said, "The other party is the chairman of the Delaney Group.

It's said that he's also the young master of a prominent family in Neon City. Such an important person must be extremely busy..."

Alan smiled and said, "I don't think so. Maybe he just stays at home with his wife every day, cooking and doing the laundry?"

Mia gave him a glare and said, "Do you think everyone is like you?"

Alan nodded, "Yeah, it's very possible that the boss of the Delaney Group is just like me."

Mia pursed her lips and said coquettishly, "Tsk! How could that be!"

Mia walked to one side and dialed Vivian's number.

A pleasant voice came from the other end of the line: Hello, Ms. Mia.

Hello, Vice President Vivian. I'm calling to invite the chairman to attend the banquet.

We will announce our cooperation with the Delaney Group, and we hope the chairman can come.

Vivian replied: Ms. Mia, I can't make the decision on this. I'll ask the chairman for his opinion.

Mia said politely: Then I'll trouble you, Vice President Vivian.

Just then, Alan's phone suddenly rang.

Alan was startled. It must be Vivian calling to ask for his opinion.

Alan answered the phone. Chairman, the Mill family is hosting a banquet tomorrow evening and wants to invite you to attend.

Alan replied: Sure. Then Alan quickly hung up the phone and said, Those telemarketers are so annoying.

Shortly after, Mia's phone rang again.

Ms. Mia, our chairman has agreed and will come directly!

Really... That's great... Thank you so much for your help. Mia was extremely excited.

She didn't expect that the other party would agree.

Mia quickly said to the head of the Mill family: Grandma! The chairman of the Delaney Group has agreed!

The head of the Mill family was immediately excited! She immediately said to the members of the Mill family present: Hurry up and make preparations!

Book the best hotel, the best food and drinks, and get ready to give a grand welcome to the chairman of the Delaney Group!

In addition, inform all the big enterprises in the city and invite them to our banquet!

Tell them that the chairman of the Delaney Group will be present!

Then, the entire Mill family got busy!

Everyone was extremely excited, constantly contacting various partners and high - society figures in Pras City.

In an instant, the whole of Pras City knew this news.

The mysterious new chairman of the Delaney Group was about to make an appearance at the Mill family's banquet!

The head of the Mill family received countless inquiry calls.

She was overjoyed today. Once the banquet was over tomorrow, the Mill family would become a sought - after family in Pras City!

Thinking of this, she said excitedly, "All right, that's enough for today. Let's start preparing for tomorrow's banquet."

After the meeting ended, the head of the Mill family returned to her office.

Carlson followed closely behind. "Grandma, are you really going to give the position of general manager to Mia?"

The head of the Mill family said coldly, "I've already promised Mia."

Carlson insisted, "Grandma, you can't let her be the general manager!"

The old lady retorted, "Why not? She secured such a large contract and is a hero of the company."

Carlson said, "Mia was able to get the contract from the Delaney Group because Rod was helping her behind the scenes. I heard that Rod even went to her house yesterday!

The Delaney Group signed the contract with us today probably because she slept with Rod!"

The head of the Mill family said angrily, "Is what you said true?"

Carlson said, "Of course it's true. Rod went to see Mia last night. You can find out by checking."

Grandma, Mia is a married woman. If the thing between her and Rod gets out, and it's known that our Mill family obtained the contract from the Delaney Group by such means, the reputation of our Mill family will be ruined.

The head of the Mill family frowned and inwardly believed it.

She knew that Rod liked Mia.

No wonder Mia was able to get the contract worth 60 million dollars.

Carlson added, "If you let such a shameless woman be the general manager, our reputation will be even worse.

At this time, we should choose someone else as the general manager. It's best to pick a man, so that we can avoid the gossip to the greatest extent!"

The head of the Mill family nodded slightly. Seen in this way, she really should choose another general manager to deal with the gossip.

If it's known outside that Mia got the contract by getting involved with Rod, she can explain to the outside that the contract was obtained by the new general manager, and it definitely wasn't obtained by Mia by trading on her looks.

Moreover, the old lady had her own ulterior motives. She didn't like Mia!

She had always been patriarchal and didn't want to see Mia's status in the Mill family rise.

    She couldn’t help walking over to Alan, snuggling gently into his arms. Gazing up at the twinkling stars scattered across the sky, she said with a look of pure happiness, After the New Year, it’ll be our fourth year of marriage.Yeah. Alan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Four years already. Time really flies.Does it feel fast? Mia said earnestly. To me, time hasn’t passed quickly at all. So many things have happened in these four years, and you’ve changed more than anyone.Alan scratched the tip of his nose. Oh? Have I changed?Mia nodded. Of course you have! Your whole demeanor, aura, and bearing are completely different from when we first got married.She murmured softly, It’s strange though. When I think about it, the changes are huge… yet at the same time, it all feels so natural. It’s as if you were always meant to be this way.Alan let out a soft sigh and said to her, By the way, honey. The feng shui consultation trip to Neon City is all set. I’m leaving tomorrow morning.
