301 Return the Same Words; A Luxury Yacht!

What kind of eyes did Lin Fan have?

When the shop assistant introduced Fenghua, Qin Yuxuan's eyes lit up.

However, Lin Fan knew…

She was not moved by Fenghua at all but by the piece beside it… It was the watch in the middle.

The female shop assistant looked in the direction Lin Fan was pointing, and her heart skipped a beat.

"This is a limited edition watch—the Queen of Heaven. There are only five in the world.

"It was designed and researched by the famous designer, George Nivelo, of the Patrick Phillippe Company. He spent ten years on it. A total of 365 natural colored diamonds are inlaid on the watch band and case, representing 365 days of eternal protection and support…"

Lin Fan nodded. Without waiting for her to finish, he took out a bank card and said, "I'll pay by card."

"Huh?"

The shop assistant was stunned.

The reason why she did not mention the price was because she wanted to say that this watch was very expensive.

She had a good impression of Lin Fan and did not want him to be mocked by others.

However, the shop assistant did not expect Lin Fan to directly take out his bank card just like the man.

The shop assistant hesitated and said, "The price of this watch is 31 million yuan."

Before Lin Fan could say anything, the man beside him had already started shouting.

"Quickly swipe the card! What the hell… Do you want me to call your manager over?"

The female shop assistant looked at Lin Fan again. Seeing that he did not say anything, she could only put the bank card on the machine and swipe it gently.

Beep!

With a soft sound, a receipt for 31 million yuan appeared.

It was a successful transaction!

At the same time, 3,100 red packets appeared on Lin Fan's phone.

The man was about to laugh out loud.

At this moment, he was completely frozen.

The transaction was successful!

He actually had 31 million yuan!

How was this possible?

Lin Fan glanced at the man and said calmly, "What you said just now was right. If you don't have the money to buy it, just say that. Otherwise, you'd only be pretending to be cool. In the eyes of those with money, such antics are simply ridiculous. You're simply a clown."

This was what the man said to Lin Fan earlier.

In the end, Lin Fan returned the same words to the man.

The man only felt that… his entire face seemed to have been slapped a few times.

It hurt!

The man wanted to retort, but he was powerless to do so. He could only lower his head and walk out.

As soon as he walked out of the store, the gorgeous woman next to him shouted, "I always thought you were a rich man, but you're actually a poor bastard! I've never been so embarrassed before!"

After saying that, she quickly walked in another direction.

The man opened his mouth, his face filled with helplessness.

When he saw Qin Yuxuan, he felt that the gorgeous woman was just trash.

In the end, even trash did not want to stay by his side.

Lin Fan did not care about any of this at all.

He held the dazzling Patek Philippe watch and slowly put it on Qin Yuxuan's jade-like wrist.

"Do you like it?" he asked with a smile.

Qin Yuxuan nodded her head vigorously. Then, she threw herself into Lin Fan's embrace.

At this moment, she was completely filled with sweetness.

After they left the store, the two of them held hands and continued to walk forward, letting the river breeze blow past them. It was refreshing and leisurely.

When Lin Fan raised his head, he could easily see a tall building not far away—Tomson Building.

Was this not the residential building that he had just obtained?

Lin Fan's heart was filled with curiosity toward this famous residential building.

Therefore, he held Qin Yuxuan's hand and walked into the neighborhood.

The price of the units in the Tomson Building was high.

On the one hand, it was because of the good location. On the other hand, the management and environment were very good as well.

The gate of the community was installed with a face recognition function, so outsiders could not enter at all.

Beep!

When Lin Fan walked to the gate, the gate opened with a soft sound.

The two security guards standing at the side quickly stood up straight as if they were soldiers who had seen their superior.

Lin Fan did not pay too much attention to that and walked to the building closest to the river.

Beep!

The gate of the building opened automatically again.

Seeing this…

The security guards looked at Lin Fan with even more respect.

This was because this building was bought by a mysterious person a long time ago.

After that, other than the cleaners and security guards, no one else had gone in.

This was also one of the reasons why there were very few houses in the Tomson Building.

At this moment, Lin Fan had gone into the area. The answer was obvious!

Lin Fan naturally did not know what the security guards were thinking.

He brought Qin Yuxuan into the spacious and gorgeous elevator.

The elevator went up, and it felt like they were on flat ground all along. It did not shake at all.

In less than ten seconds, Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan arrived at the top floor.

Lin Fan pressed the password and unlocked the door.

With a soft sound, the door opened.

The living room, which was nearly 100 square meters, immediately appeared in their field of vision.

The setting sun shone through the French windows, illuminating the luxurious modern furniture. At the same time, it also illuminated Qin Yuxuan's beautiful eyes.

"Yuxuan, you can stay here from now on."

Qin Yuxuan's delicate body trembled slightly. This was happiness, pure happiness!

She gently opened her cherry lips and said, "Lin Fan."

Then, she could not help but spread her arms and throw herself into Lin Fan's embrace.

o(ε*)

(*3)(ε*)

Tomson Building No. 1, which had been silent for a long time, became extremely lively today.

The next day, when Lin Fan opened his eyes, Qin Yuxuan was still lying on the bed in a deep sleep.

This was normal…

She had been too tired the past two days.

Hence, Lin Fan did not disturb her.

He tiptoed to the living room alone.

He first called Fumando to send some delicacies over.

Then, his gaze fell on the check-in system.

"Yesterday, I obtained a Tomson Building No. 1. Let's see what I can get today."

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received a luxury yacht—Solange!]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan's eyes lit up.

Not long ago, he accidentally saw the news about Solange.

It was 86 meters long and had a total of eight VIP cabins. Rather than calling it a yacht, it was more like a water fortress!

The price had even reached 1.2 billion yuan!

Now, this luxury yacht belonged to him?

Lin Fan owned a high-end residential area, a luxurious villa, a super sports car, and even a helicopter!

However, to be honest… this was the first time he had obtained a luxury yacht!

At this moment, Qin Yuxuan walked into the living room and hugged Lin Fan from behind.

Lin Fan patted her gently and said, "It's been hard on you these two days. Why didn't you sleep more?"

Hard on her?

Qin Yuxuan's pretty face blushed slightly, and then she said softly, "I've rested well enough."

At this moment, the phone in Qin Yuxuan's pocket rang.

302 Discussion on Team-Building; Begin!

Qin Yuxuan looked at the caller ID. It was Senior Lu.

Therefore, she answered the call without any hesitation.

"Yuxuan, are you with Lin Fan?" Senior Lu asked.

"Yes, what's the matter, Senior Lu?" Qin Yuxuan asked.

"Oh, didn't we receive a lot of big orders recently? Yesterday, everyone worked overtime and we've basically finished dealing with the matters in the early stages.

"There will be a lot of things to do later… Therefore, I was thinking that I should organize a team-building event in the next one or two days so that everyone can have fun and relax… What do you think?"

Qin Yuxuan was a person who was motivated and had great management talent.

She knew very well that she had to be lax in the management of the employees.

Otherwise, there would be problems.

Ever since the company was established, there had never been any team-building activities.

Besides, just like Senior Lu said, the entire company would be very busy soon.

Before that, the team-building event could allow the employees to relax. At the same time, it could also cultivate a tacit understanding between the employees and increase their work efficiency in the future. This was a good thing.

"I think it's a good idea." Qin Yuxuan replied.

Senior Lu said happily, "I knew that you'd agree!

"Alright, you two can continue being sweet. I won't disturb you anymore."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Lin Fan heard the conversation.

"If it's a team-building event, I have a good place in mind… How about I help arrange it?" Lin Fan said.

Qin Yuxuan had absolute trust in Lin Fan. Without any hesitation, she nodded and said, "Alright!"

At this moment, Lin Fan's phone rang.

However, it was an unknown number.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lin Fan?" A slightly respectful voice came from the phone.

Lin Fan said, "It's me. And you are?"

"The Solange luxury yacht you ordered has arrived at the port of Modu. You can go and check it at any time… Also, do you have any other questions or need any help?"

Wan Bo had a certain status in the company.

However, he knew very well that he was nothing in front of a person who had ordered Solange.

Therefore, his tone was extremely respectful.

Lin Fan's face revealed an expression that seemed to say, 'I knew it'. He said, "Alright… I might need to use it to go out to sea and hold a party in the next two days. Can you help me find some crew members and waiters?"

"Of course. If you need anything, you can call me anytime," Wan Bo said.

After Lin Fan hung up, he said to Qin Yuxuan, "I've already made the arrangements. Now it's up to you when you want to hold it."

"I'll ask Senior Lu and the others."

Lin Fan and Qin Yuxuan did not go out for the entire day.

The two of them were like a young couple on vacation. They ate together, watched TV together, and…

It was very relaxing and warm.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.

When the morning sun rose, Qin Yuxuan drove the Mini Cooper and brought Lin Fan to the Global Financial Tower.

At this moment, all the employees of Fan Yu Investment were waiting downstairs with their backpacks, sunglasses, and hats on their faces.

That was because today was the day of Fan Yu Investment's team-building event!

When they saw Qin Yuxuan and Lin Fan getting out of the Mini Cooper, they shouted, "Hello, Mr. Lin. Hello, President Qin!"

Evidently, everyone had some understanding of Lin Fan's identity.

"Today is the day of our Fan Yu Investment's team-building event," Qin Yuxuan cleared her throat and said. "There's no boss or leader today. Everyone is friends. Later, we'll have a good meal and have fun together!"

"Alright!" Everyone shouted in unison.

At this moment, a Mercedes-Benz luxury bus drove over from afar and stopped in front of everyone.

"The bus has arrived. Let's set off!" Qin Yuxuan said."

The Global Financial Tower was not far from the dock. In just half an hour, everyone could already see the blue sea.

After getting out of the bus, everyone welcomed the sea breeze, their faces filled with satisfaction.

At this moment, a man in a suit walked over from afar and said respectfully to Lin Fan, "Mr. Lin, this way please."

He… was Wan Bo, the manager of the company who called Lin Fan yesterday.

Lin Fan nodded his head and walked forward.

This was a dock, and there were many boats and yachts docked by the river bank.

Everyone walked and watched, occasionally letting out a burst of discussion.

"That ship is quite beautiful."

"There are actually so many ships docked here…"

"Modu's housing prices are so expensive. What do you think about buying a ship and using it as a house?"

"You have to be really rich. That's because they had to pay at least a six-figure management fee to dock here for a year."

"Hiss! I was too hasty."

Someone suddenly shouted, "Wow! Look, that ship over there is so cool! It's even cooler than the ships in movies!"

"It's so cool! It would be great if we board it and take a look."

"Board it? Don't think about it."

"This is Solange, a luxury yacht!"

"That's right! It's Solange! I saw this yacht in a magazine two days ago. The price is 1.2 billion yuan!"

"1.2 billion? Hiss!"

Lin Fan heard everything everyone said.

He smiled and touched his nose. "Since everyone likes this yacht so much, let's get on it."

Many of the employees looked puzzled.

Lin Fan smiled. "We're going to have our team-building event on this yacht today."

Silence!

The entire scene was silent!

Everyone's faces were filled with horror.

One had to know…

They had just heard that this yacht was called Solange! It was worth 1.2 billion!

Of course, even if they did not know all this, just the exterior of the yacht was enough to shock them.

Yesterday, everyone already knew that they were going to hold a team-building event at sea.

This made everyone extremely happy.

However, everyone thought that they were just going to rent a dilapidated boat or buy tickets to hop on board a large cruise…

However, it turned out to be a tall luxury yacht?

This… Were they dreaming?

Everyone was still in disbelief.

At that moment, the attendants on Solange seemed to be confirming Lin Fan's words. They got off the yacht one after another, bowed, and said in an extremely respectful tone, "Welcome, everyone! I wish everyone a happy time!"

303 Surprised; Look Down On!

The employees of Fan Yu Investment finally boarded Solange with endless anticipation and surprise.

Just by looking at the exterior of Solange, everyone was already amazed.

When they arrived on the yacht, everyone's mouths were wide open.

A spacious restaurant, bar, high-end KTV, spa, surround-sound cinema, heated swimming pool, luxurious lounge… There was everything that one could dream of!

How was this a yacht?

It was a moving castle!

Lin Fan said, "On the yacht, everything you eat, drink, play, and use… will be provided for free!"

Then, Lin Fan said, "Set sail!"

After the engine roared, the entire luxury yacht was like a dragon that braved the wind and waves as it flew into the distance.

At the same time, the employees of Fan Yu Investment cheered enthusiastically.

Some of them jumped into the heated swimming pool enthusiastically.

Some lay on rattan chairs and rested comfortably.

Some walked into the spa to relax.

Soon, the entire luxury yacht was filled with excited discussions.

"Remy Martin, Ace of Hearts! There are actually tens of thousands of bottles of good liquor on the ship! Heavens!"

"Japanese beef, king crab, Australian lobster, sea cucumber, abalone… Moreover, it was so delicious! It's really delicious!"

"The spa is too comfortable!"

Solange had just arrived at the port of Modu yesterday. It was difficult for ordinary people to store so much food and wine immediately.

However, Lin Fan owned the three-star Michelin restaurant, Fumando, so it was naturally very simple.

In fact, this was also the reason why everyone felt that the food was delicious.

One had to know…

The food was cooked by a chef from a three-star Michelin restaurant. How could the taste be bad?

Qin Yuxuan lay on the chair and looked at the boundless sea in the distance. She felt relaxed and happy.

She listened to the sounds of the employees playing around, and her gaze fell on Lin Fan. She slowly leaned over.

Happiness, satisfaction, sweetness!

In fact, Solange was not the only yacht on the sea at this time.

Not far away, there was also a yacht floating.

Of course, this yacht was far inferior to Solange in terms of size and luxury.

A group of men and women were standing on the deck of the yacht, enjoying the sea breeze and drinking wine. Their expressions were very smug.

"Fine wine, delicious food, five-star suites… All of them! Young Master Liu, your yacht is really good!" A round-faced man praised.

"Of course!" Liu Sheng said proudly. "I spent 300 million yuan to buy this yacht from Brazil. There's no better yacht in the entire Modu!"

"Young Master Huang seems to be very satisfied with this yacht. Congratulations, Young Master Liu!" the round-faced man said.

Liu Sheng said, "We're all playing and having fun together. What's there to congratulate?"

Even though he said so, the smile on his face clearly showed that he was in agreement! This was something worth congratulating!

At this moment, a luxurious, magnificent, and extremely cool yacht suddenly sailed over from afar.

Someone immediately shouted, "F*ck!" What a cool yacht!"

"And it's so big!"

"This can even be called a moving castle!"

Many people stood up and clicked their tongues in wonder.

Liu Sheng's face was a little dark.

He had just said that there was no yacht better than his in Modu.

However, a yacht that far surpassed his appeared almost immediately?

Did he have to be slapped in the face like this?

At this moment, the round-faced man beside him shouted, "Hey, friends, are you from Modu too? Is this a banquet?"

An employee said, "We're from Fan Yu Investment, and this is a team-building event."

Team-building event?

The round-faced man was stunned

On such a luxurious yacht?

Also, he had never heard of Fan Yu Investment before.

Liu Sheng's expression turned slightly better when he heard that.

A team-building event for an unknown small company…

Then, perhaps this yacht was just for show.

Moreover, it was definitely rented!

Hence, Liu Sheng slowly raised his head and looked into Solange.

In the next moment…

Liu Sheng's eyes lit up slightly as they locked onto Qin Yuxuan on the deck.

What a beauty!

What a perfect figure!

Exquisite facial features!

However, he saw Lin Fan hugging Qin Yuxuan.

Liu Sheng immediately felt a strong sense of jealousy.

Why?

Why did such a beautiful woman become someone else's woman?

Just because he was handsome?

Liu Sheng took a deep breath and shouted at Lin Fan, "Bro, you should have heard of Fenglin Real Estate, right? That's my family's. My name is Liu Sheng. It's rare for us to meet today. How about being friends?

"In the future, if you want to use a yacht, you can use this luxury yacht that I bought from Brazil for 300 million yuan."

The rich second-generation heirs in movies and novels were mostly unreasonable.

In reality, though?

Most of them were very smart like Liu Sheng.

Although his target was Qin Yuxuan, he was introducing himself to Lin Fan and mentioned how powerful his family was and how they owned an expensive yacht.

He believed that Lin Fan would be like a pug, wagging his tail and begging for mercy.

On the other hand, Qin Yuxuan would be endlessly in love with him and want to cling to him.

This… was the charm of money!

Liu Sheng had many similar experiences. He believed that this time would not be an exception.

However…

What Liu Sheng did not know was that after he said those words, Lin Fan just casually glanced at him as if he was looking at an idiot.

A luxury yacht worth 300 million yuan?

A mere 300 million yuan was enough for a ship to be considered a luxury yacht?

His yacht was worth 1.2 billion yuan!

Could he not see the difference between his yacht and this one?

Why was he so blindly confident?

"Fenglin Real Estate?" Lin Fan said calmly. "Never heard of it.

"As for making friends? Not interested."

He was not spouting nonsense.

Fenglin Real Estate was indeed quite famous in Modu.

However, Lin Fan was not from Modu. Other than the famous Tomson Building, he had not heard of any other places.

Liu Sheng's face darkened.

He did not expect Lin Fan to reply like this.

"Bro, I've already introduced myself. Aren't you looking down on me by not replying?"

Lin Fan raised his eyes and said, "You can tell? I am looking down on you a little."

He was not spouting nonsense.

One had to know… With Lin Fan's current status, there were not many people that he looked up to.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Lin Fan would not say that.

It was mainly because he had seen through his evil intentions for Qin Yuxuan.

Since that was the case, Lin Fan naturally would not hold back either.

304 Humiliation; What Are You Fighting About?!

The reason why Liu Sheng took the initiative to use his own yacht to hold this party at sea was to make himself look good in front of the rich second-generation heirs.

However, look at what happened now.

Now… he was actually looked down upon in public.

Humiliation!

A blatant humiliation!

Even though Liu Sheng had received the best education since he was young, he could not help but feel angry at this moment.

He put away his initial amiable expression and said coldly, "Kid, what did you say?!"

Lin Fan said calmly, "I said, I look down on you."

"Very well! Kid, you have guts! In Modu, no one has ever said that to me! Fan Yu Investment? I'll remember it! I'll definitely make you regret it!" Liu Sheng said sternly.

He had already decided that once he returned to shore, he would look for Lin Fan and teach him a lesson.

At this moment, dull footsteps sounded from the cabin.

"What's going on outside?"

Before the person arrived, their unhappy voice was heard.

Then, a tall figure walked onto the deck.

When Liu Sheng and the others saw him, they respectfully said, "Hello, Young Master Huang."

"Young Master Huang."

The moment Lin Fan caught sight of this person, a strange look appeared on his face.

This so-called Young Master Huang was Huang Tian, whom he had met at Hu Tian's grandfather's banquet not long ago.

Huang Tian only nodded slowly in response to everyone's greetings.

"Young Master Huang, I'm sorry for disturbing you. We just met a brat who doesn't know his place…"

Huang Tian looked in the direction that Liu Sheng was pointing.

In the next moment…

Huang Tian's pupils constricted.

Lin Fan!

He was an existence that Huang Tian would never forget!

The moment Huang Tian saw Lin Fan, he seemed to recall the scene of his father bringing him to apologize to Lin Fan.

Huang Tian's butt and nose started to hurt when he thought about what happened that day.

In fact, Huang Tian had come to Modu for a reason.

A large part of the reason was to come out to relax so that he could forget the miserable memories of that day.

In the end… he actually met Lin Fan again!

Liu Sheng continued, "Young Master Huang, don't worry. When we return to Modu, I'll teach this dog a lesson."

Dog?

He scolded Lin Fan, whom even his father had to treat respectfully, and called him a dog?

He… How dare he?

He was standing together with Liu Sheng. What if Lin Fan thought that they were good friends?

In fact, Lin Fan might even think that… these words were instigated by him… What should he do then?

Huang Tian's forehead immediately broke out in a layer of sweat.

If he was misunderstood, it would be a disaster—a terrible disaster!

"Shut up!"

Huang Tian shouted and slapped Liu Sheng's face.

A crisp sound echoed on the deck.

Everyone on the yacht was stunned.

An obvious palm print quickly appeared on Liu Sheng's face, and his cheek gradually became red and swollen.

However, Huang Tian seemed to think that it was not enough.

Hence, he kicked Liu Sheng to the ground and started punching and kicking him.

A moment later…

Huang Tian bowed and said respectfully, "Mr. Lin, I have nothing to do with this guy… He actually dared to insult you…I'm sorry to have disturbed you…"

Silence.

The entire scene was silent.

The rich second-generation heirs on the yacht all revealed obvious looks of surprise on their faces.

They knew each other very well.

Who was Huang Tian?

Even in the entire Hua Nation, he was still a first-class young master!

This was because the Huang family not only had great power in the political world but also in the business world.

However…

Huang Tian actually beat up Liu Sheng for Mr. Lin.

Then, he even took the initiative to bow and apologize to Mr. Lin?

Who was this Mr. Lin?

What kind of strength did he possess?

Lin Fan glanced at Huang Tian and said calmly, "Huang Tian, you have to be more careful when making friends in the future."

His tone was like that of a high and mighty elder.

Huang Tian did not feel awkward at all.

On the contrary, he was very happy and quickly said, "Yes, yes… In the future, I'll definitely be more careful."

A loud whistle sounded not far away.

A business yacht slowly sailed over from afar.

The bald man standing on the deck laughed heartily. "It really is my family's yacht!"

This bald man was Liu Sheng's father, Liu Jianqiang.

The surrounding middle-aged men in suits and leather shoes could not help but look over.

The chairman of Tiantian Bank, Huang Jiayi, was also among them.

Liu Jianqiang said, "Chairman Huang, when we have time, let's take that yacht and go fishing at sea together. What do you think?"

Huang Jiayi nodded.

Seeing this…

Liu Jianqiang was secretly delighted.

Then, Liu Jianqiang pointed at Liu Sheng on the yacht in the distance and said, "Look, my son is up there!"

Obviously, Liu Jianqiang was giving his son a chance to show his face.

One had to know…

The people standing beside him all had extraordinary backgrounds!

As long as his son left a small impression in their hearts, it might bring endless benefits in the future.

At this moment, Liu Jianqiang saw that his son had been slapped.

Then, he was punched and kicked.

The smile on Liu Jianqiang's face instantly disappeared. He shouted, "Why did you hit my son?!"

This shout attracted the attention of Huang Tian, Lin Fan, and the others on the two yachts.

When Lin Fan turned around, Huang Jiayi saw him too.

His heart skipped a beat, and he said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Lin!"

This made Liu Jianqiang, who was originally arrogant, slightly stunned. It made the others on the yacht reveal a touch of surprise.

One had to know…

Huang Jiayi was the chairman of the largest private bank in China, Tiantian Bank.

Others always treated him respectfully and kept trying to please him.

When had they ever seen Huang Jiayi treat others with such respect?

Moreover, it was to a young man who looked to be in his 20s.

"Oh, it's you, Old Huang…" Lin Fan said.

Old Huang?

Calling the chairman of Tiantian Bank… Old Huang?

The middle-aged men on the business yacht were even more shocked.

At the same time, they started to guess Lin Fan's identity.

At this moment, Liu Sheng got up from the ground.

Everyone had a temper.

He was beaten up and saw his father not far away.

He no longer cared about Huang Tian's and Lin Fan's identities.

He pointed at the two of them and shouted, "Bastards, how dare you humiliate and hit me?!"

305 Anger; Return!

Huang Jiayi's face darkened. He looked at Liu Jianqiang and Liu Sheng coldly.

He did not know what had happened.

However, Liu Sheng actually dared to insult Lin Fan. That was unforgivable.

Liu Jianqiang noticed the change in Huang Jiayi's expression, and his heart skipped a beat.

When he saw how respectful Huang Jiayi was to Lin Fan, Liu Jianqiang was already thinking about how to please Lin Fan.

Now… what should he do?

At this moment, Liu Jianqiang did not care if Liu Sheng had been beaten up.

He hesitated and said, "Mr. Lin, there must be a misunderstanding between you and my son. He didn't mean to scold you…"

Lin Fan glanced at Liu Jianqiang and said, "Misunderstanding? Did I misunderstand him for wanting to steal my girlfriend and threatening me?"

Stealing Lin Fan's girlfriend and threatening him?

What a… bastard!

Huang Jiayi glanced at Liu Jianqiang and Liu Sheng coldly before grunting.

Liu Jianqiang's body trembled slightly as he said, "C-Chairman Huang, this matter…"

Huang Jiayi did not wait for him to finish and interrupted him, "You don't have to say anything anymore! From now on, our Tiantian Bank will not lend a single cent to your company!

"In addition, the previous loans must be repaid immediately!"

When Liu Jianqiang heard this, it was as if his strength had been instantly sucked dry, and his face was pale.

One had to know…

His Fenglin Real Estate was short of money.

Today, the main reason why he was traveling with the entrepreneurs was to get closer to the chairman of Tiantian Bank, Huang Jiayi.

This would make it easier to get some loans from the bank.

Now?

Now, not only could he not get a loan, but he also had to repay the previous loans immediately.

Liu Jianqiang felt the world spin.

Liu Sheng obviously had not expected this. He said again, "Our Liu family is not to be trifled with!"

When Liu Jianqiang heard this, he was like a tiger that had been slapped on the butt.

He… He was completely furious.

It was him. It was all this brat's fault!

Otherwise, none of this would have happened!

Hence, Liu Jianqiang pointed to the front and shouted, "Captain, help me get close!"

Then, Liu Jianqiang jumped in front of Liu Sheng and raised his hand to slap his face.

"Bastard!

"Who told you to cause trouble for me?

"Bastard!"

As he hit, he cursed. He was furious to the extreme. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝙤𝒓𝙜

Regarding what was happening…

Lin Fan only took a few casual glances before continuing to admire the beautiful scenery in the distance with Qin Yuxuan.

Everyone in Fan Yu Investment was extremely happy and satisfied with this team-building event.

At the same time, the employees became more familiar with each other and understood each other better.

As for Lin Fan, he did not stay in Modu any longer.

After all, he was still a student.

After sending Lin Fan to the airport, Qin Yuxuan returned to the Global Financial Tower.

Senior Lu sighed. "Yuxuan, your boyfriend is really amazing. He actually owns the entire Global Financial Tower. Moreover, he's the major shareholder of Tiantian Bank. He also has such a luxurious yacht!"

When Senior Lu said this, her eyes sparkled.

"By the way, did he take you shopping yesterday?" Senior Lu asked after a pause. "Did he give you anything?"

"He bought me a watch."

As she spoke, Qin Yuxuan raised her wrist.

"He only bought a watch for you? Heavens! This is very pretty! How much was it?" Senior Lu bombarded her with questions.

As a woman, she could not resist such a beautiful watch.

"This is a Patek Phillipe watch. It costs 31 million yuan," Qin Yuxuan said.

"31 million!" Senior Lu shouted out loud.

Initially, she wanted Qin Yuxuan to take off her watch for her to take a look.

At this moment, she completely dispelled this thought.

A watch worth 31 million yuan, what if… If she accidentally knocked it to the ground, what should she do?

"Also, he gave me a unit in Tomson Building No. 1 to live in," Qin Yuxuan added."

"Tomson Building No. 1!" Senior Lu's eyes instantly widened.

She had been living in Modu for a long time, so she knew how expensive a house in Tomson Building was.

The price of one unit was at least 100 million!

He bought a house worth more than 100 million and a watch worth 31 million.

How could she not scream?

After a long time, Senior Lu finally regained her composure and said, "Yuxuan, does your boyfriend have a younger brother?"

Qin Yuxuan could not help but think of her former roommate who had said something similar. She could not help but smile. "He only has one sister."

"A sister?" Senior Lu asked. "Actually, I don't have gender preferences."

Qin Yuxuan was speechless.

Naturally, Lin Fan had no idea about the conversation between Qin Yuxuan and Senior Lu.

After he had a good night's sleep in the first-class cabin, he arrived in Jiangbei.

Then, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz back to the Coiling Dragon Villa.

He first brewed a cup of Spirit Tea.

As the Spirit Tea entered his stomach, his mouth was filled with its aroma, and he felt refreshed. In an instant, all the fatigue he had felt over the past few days was swept away.

Lin Fan put down his teacup and took out his phone. His gaze landed on the 3,178 red packets.

The 3,100 red packets were from buying Qin Yuxuan a Patek Philippe watch.

The remaining 78 red packets were from his recent expenses.

"3,178 red packets. Let's see what I can get," Lin Fan muttered.

"Open!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 9 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,000 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received a double shares coupon.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained 10% of Omar Group's shares.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained the skill—Turtle Breathing Technique.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 19,999 yuan.]

Lin Fan received a total of 1,321,201 yuan from these 3,178 red packets.

Lin Fan chose to ignore this bit of money.

He first set his eyes on the double shares coupon.

Previously, Lin Fan used a double shares coupon on Penguin Group, which gave him a total of 20% of Penguin Group's shares.

Wanting to give equal treatment, Lin Fan chose Little Tanuki Group this time.

[Ding! The coupon was used successfully. You now own 20% of Little Tanuki Group's shares.]

Instantly, he gained 10% of Little Tanuki Group's shares. Lin Fan's assets increased by another 500 billion yuan.

Omar Group was the world's largest department store with a market value of 1.4 trillion yuan.

10% of the shares, which was 140 billion yuan, was not bad.

Finally, Lin Fan's gaze landed on Turtle Breathing Technique.

[Turtle Breathing Technique: A special skill that consumes fat, sugar, and other energy in the body to replace oxygen breathing. You don't need to breathe to live well, and from there, you can display your infinite charm!]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan's lips curled up slightly.

Turtle Breathing Technique was definitely a very good skill!

306 Triggered; Watch the Experiment!

The next day, the weather was clear.

Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz, facing the cool morning breeze as he continued forward.

Soon, he arrived at Jiangbei University.

It was the old professor's class in the morning.

Even though Lin Fan had rested well yesterday, listening to the old professor's slow, lullaby-like lecture, he quickly fell asleep on the table.

Regarding this…

Not only was the old professor not angry, but he even nodded at Lin Fan.

That look seemed to be saying, 'He's the model of a good student!'

After the bell rang, the morning class ended.

Lin Fan, Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao walked out together.

When the four of them walked to a corner up ahead, they accidentally bumped into a middle-aged professor with slightly white hair.

Suddenly, the stack of documents in the middle-aged professor's hands fell to the ground.

"I'm sorry, Professor…" Ma Zhong hurriedly said.

Then, he squatted down to pick up the information.

Lin Fan, Zheng Jinbao, and Song Yi also bent down to help.

The middle-aged professor was very amiable and said, "It's okay… I was thinking about something while walking and wasn't paying attention to what was in front of me." 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙣𝙚𝒕

When Lin Fan picked up some of the documents, he casually glanced at the information.

Negative: 4Li-4e =4Li

Positive pole: 2SOCI2 4e = 4CI-S SO2

Total reaction: 4Li2SOCI2 = 4LiCI2 S S02

"Thank you," said the middle-aged professor.

Ma Zhong had obviously seen the information as well. He could not help but ask, "Professor, are you doing a battery research project?"

Their conversation was very short, but Lin Fan's expression changed slightly.

In his mind… a clear notification suddenly sounded.

[Ding! Mission triggered: Watch a battery experiment (0/1). Read Battery Principles, Battery Handbook, Lithium-ion Batteries, Polymer Batteries, and Battery Structure and Principles (0/5). Reward: A super battery patent, manufacturing principle, and complete thesis.]

The middle-aged professor took the materials and turned to leave.

At this moment, Lin Fan said, "Professor, may I know your name?"

"My surname is Zhao," the middle-aged professor said.

"Hello, Professor Zhao. I'm Lin Fan from the Mathematics Department. I'm also interested in batteries. Can you take me to the laboratory to have a look? It would be best if you'll let me watch the specific experiment," Lin Fan said.

In fact…

When Professor Zhao saw Lin Fan for the first time, he felt that he was familiar.

After hearing Lin Fan's self-introduction, his eyes lit up.

Lin Fan from the Mathematics Department…

It could be said that everyone at Jiangbei University had heard of this name!

It was just that Lin Fan never accepted interviews. Many people did not know what he looked like.

Professor Zhao had only seen Lin Fan from afar once. Otherwise, he would have recognized Lin Fan immediately.

Professor Zhao did not hesitate at all and hurriedly said, "Alright, I'll take you to the laboratory now."

His experiment topic was considered confidential.

Lin Fan was just a mathematics student.

However, so what?

One had to know…

Lin Fan had even developed an earthquake prediction device!

He was not a physics student!

With a smart brain, no matter what he did, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort and discover things that ordinary people could not detect.

Hence, Professor Zhao could not wait to bring Lin Fan into the lab.

He no longer paid attention to Ma Zhong, Zheng Jinbao, and Song Yi, who were standing on the spot.

After passing through the basketball court, there was a tall building in front of them.

Many chemistry laboratories were located in this building.

Walking along the wide corridor of the building, one could hear a dull sound from afar.

Professor Zhao took the lead and pushed open the laboratory door.

A tall machine came into view.

Three graduate students were working on something seriously.

Even when they heard the door open, they did not turn around to look.

Only the old professor, who was sitting at the front and staring at the computer screen, raised his head.

He first looked at Professor Zhao calmly, then glanced at Lin Fan. He did not say anything and turned his attention back to the computer screen.

Professor Zhao took the initiative to introduce, "Professor Li, this is Lin Fan from the Mathematics Department."

"Oh?" Professor Li's face, which had always been calm, was now filled with surprise.

The three graduate students who had been focused on the experiment could not help but stop what they were doing and turn around to look.

Lin Fan's reputation in Jiangbei University was simply too big.

Professor Zhao continued, "Lin Fan is also very interested in batteries. He came today to visit the laboratory and see the specific battery experiments."

Professor Li did not hesitate and said, "Alright! We still have some unfinished tasks from our last experiment. Please wait a while."

"Alright," said Lin Fan.

As expected, he only waited for a while.

About five minutes later, Professor Li said, "Our battery experiment can start again."

"I'll have to trouble you, Professor Li," Lin Fan said.

Professor Li smiled. "It's not troublesome at all. It's what we do."

Then, Professor Li said, "Everyone, try to do the experiment as carefully as possible and set the standard!"

Clearly, he wanted Lin Fan to understand more.

As the experiment began, a dull sound came from the strange-looking machine.

Rows of indicator lights lit up with different lights.

Then, electric sparks kept jumping in the pitch-black material, making crackling sounds.

At the same time, a jumping curve appeared on the computer screen.

The three graduate students moved very slowly. Moreover, some of the operations that could have been skipped were carried out.

Therefore, the experiment that originally only needed 30 minutes lasted for nearly 50 minutes before it slowly ended.

Professor Li first took some notes on the experiment.

Then, he asked, "Lin Fan, how was it? Do you have any other thoughts? Or suggestions?"

Lin Fan looked at the system mission.

[Mission: Watch a battery experiment (1/1). Read Battery Principles, Battery Handbook, Lithium-ion Batteries, Polymer Batteries, and Battery Structure and Principles (0/5). Reward: A super battery patent, manufacturing principle, and complete thesis.]

Obviously, the first condition of the mission had been fulfilled.

Thus, Lin Fan said, "I need to spend some time thinking about it."

Professor Li was not too surprised. He nodded and said, "Batteries indeed require a lot of time and experiments to achieve certain results."

307 Super Smart Watch; Name Change!

After Lin Fan was done here, he went to the library.

The library of Jiangbei University was always packed with people.

Lin Fan walked past the language category, mathematics category, geography category… He went straight to the chemistry bookshelf.

He had to admit that Jiangbei University had a very comprehensive collection of books.

Lin Fan spent a few minutes to find the five books he needed—Battery Principles, Battery Handbook, Lithium-ion Batteries, Polymer Batteries, and Battery Structure and Principles.

He hugged the five thick books and glanced at the seats filled with people in the distance.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"I have an available seat there. Do you want it?"

When Lin Fan heard that, he slowly turned around.

A fair woman with exquisite facial features appeared in front of him. She was wearing a long dress and black-rimmed glasses. She looked very beautiful and quiet.

She was Lu Ling, whom he had seen several times in the library.

Lin Fan remembered that she was a physics major.

He seemed to meet her every time he came to the library. Was this fate?

Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, "Yeah, I do."

Then, under Lu Ling's lead, Lin Fan came to the seat that he had sat on several times.

He could not help but wonder and asked, "Do you always sit here?"

"Can't I?" Lu Ling asked.

"Of course, you can." Lin Fan shrugged.

Lin Fan did not continue chatting. Instead, he used his scanning ability and quickly flipped through Battery Principles which was in his hands.

The sound of someone flipping through a book immediately rang out.

Battery Principles was hundreds of pages long. However, Lin Fan only spent five minutes to memorize all the contents.

Then, he moved on to Battery Handbook.

The third book was Lithium-Ion Batteries.

Instantly, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! Mission completed: Watch a battery experiment (1/1). Read Battery Principles, Battery Handbook, Lithium-ion Batteries, Polymer Batteries, and Battery Structure and Principles (5/5). You've obtained a super battery patent, as well as the manufacturing principle and complete thesis.]

In an instant, other than the five books on battery knowledge that he had just flipped through, there was a tsunami of battery knowledge in Lin Fan's mind.

Lu Ling saw that Lin Fan was not flipping through books anymore and asked, "Batteries? Are you studying chemistry now?"

"Yes," Lin Fan said.

Then, he looked down at the questions on Lu Ling's desk and said, "You don't know this question anymore?"

Lu Ling opened her mouth. She really wanted to say again?

Alright, it was indeed again.

She really wouldn't.

Lin Fan could easily read her thoughts from her expression.

At this moment, Lin Fan had just completed his mission and was in a good mood.

Hence, he picked up his pen and easily answered the questions on it.

After reading it, Lu Ling's pretty face revealed a touch of realization.

Lin Fan smiled and strode toward the exit of the library.

Lu Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment. Thank you for helping me answer the questions. I'll treat you to lunch."

At the mention of food, Lin Fan's stomach was indeed a little hungry.

Therefore, he immediately replied, "Okay."

Lu Ling tidied up the books on the table and went to the cafeteria with Lin Fan.

Originally, Lu Ling wanted to treat Lin Fan to expensive food.

However, no matter how expensive it was, could it be as expensive as what Lin Fan usually ate?

Lin Fan rejected her right away.

Sea cucumbers, abalones, and other such foods… Sometimes, he would get sick of them too.

It was also a good choice to occasionally eat the food in the cafeteria for a change.

At this time, it was mealtime.

There were many people in the cafeteria. After ordering some food, Lu Ling and Lin Fan found an empty seat and sat down.

Lu Ling took a few mouthfuls of rice and could not help but say, "Lin Fan, why are you so good at math? Is it because of interest?"

"I'm not interested in mathematics," said Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was not lying.

The reason why he entered Jiangbei University was to experience life.

As for those difficult questions, it was entirely because it was convenient for him to do so, as well as because they were missions given by the system.

"huh?" Lu Ling was stunned for a moment. "Then… Then how did you solve so many difficult problems?"

Obviously, after Lin Fan introduced himself last time, Lu Ling already knew his identity.

"Those problems?" Lin Fan asked. "Aren't you able to answer them by looking at them?"

He was able to answer them just by looking?

Including Zhou's Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail Conjecture, and Hodge Conjecture?

These… They were all world-class math problems!

Lu Ling was completely stunned.

At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan's pocket vibrated.

12:00 PM!

The red packets were here!

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received three yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 999 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 18,888 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained a super smart watch.]

This time, Lin Fan received a total of 53,211 yuan.

Lin Fan did not even want to look at this bit of money.

He immediately focused his gaze on… the black watch on his wrist that suddenly appeared.

A super smart watch!

"I suddenly remembered something important…I'll be leaving first." After Lin Fan finished speaking, he walked out.

He really wanted to see what this super smart watch was.

Lin Fan had a strong feeling that this was definitely a good treasure!

Lu Ling was left alone in the cafeteria with a blank face.

Lin Fan did not go to the dormitory. Instead, he went to the Mercedes-Benz and headed toward the Coiling Dragon Villa.

He sped all the way there.

About 20 minutes later, Lin Fan arrived at the sofa in the Coiling Dragon Villa and sat down.

Then, he turned his attention back to the super smart watch.

[Super Smart Watch: An AI watch that combines protection, calculation, tracking, and other powerful abilities into one. It's absolutely loyal to its owner and helps its owner easily complete things, displaying extraordinary power.]

An AI watch that combined powerful abilities such as defense, calculation, and tracking?

For some reason, Lin Fan suddenly thought of Jarvis in Iron Man.

Lin Fan's heart raced as he asked, "A super smart watch?"

"I'm here, Master. What can I do for you?" The watch screen lit up slightly and emitted a magnetic sound.

Even though Lin Fan had heard many beautiful voices before, he was still a little weak at this moment.

After a while, Lin Fan asked, "Do you have a name?"

"Super Smart Watch."

"This name… doesn't sound good. I'll change it to a better name. You're all black, so you'll be called… Lil White, then," Lin Fan said.

"Ding! The modification was successful. Lil White Then is at your service."

Lin Fan was speechless.

Was this really a super smart watch?

Not a super silly watch?

Was he expecting too much from it?

308 Sent An E-mail; Review It ASAP!

Lin Fan sighed helplessly. "What I meant was to change your name to Lil White and not Lil White Then."

The screen of the super smart watch flashed for a moment before a crisp sound came out.

"Ding! Modification successful! Lil White And Not Lil White Then at your service."

When Lin Fan heard this, his lips twitched.

Idiot!

This was definitely a super silly watch!

Lin Fan patiently explained it to the super smart watch.

That was how he changed its name to Lil White.

Lin Fan then went to the washroom. When he passed by the study, he happened to see a stack of documents on the table.

Out of curiosity, he casually glanced at it.

"Super battery patent."

Lin Fan muttered, "Did the mission rewards come straight to my house? That's quite convenient."

Then, he looked at the computer beside him and said, "Anyway, I don't have anything else to do, so I'll just write the thesis on this super battery first."

If an ordinary person wanted to write a thesis, they would definitely have to think twice. After all, it was an extremely difficult task.

After spending a lot of time writing it, one still had to go through complicated and detailed modifications.

However, Lin Fan was different. This thesis was given to him by the system.

It could be said that it was directly engraved into his mind. There was no need for any thought or modification at all. It was incomparably perfect.

Lin Fan's fingers were on the keyboard, jumping around like a phantom.

In just over an hour…

A logically meticulous and extremely complicated thesis appeared in the Word document.

Lin Fan pondered for a while and wrote his name in the first author's position. Then, he wrote Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa in the second author's position.

Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa were the two professors who asked their students to do the battery experiment for him.

Lin Fan was a person who knew how to repay kindness.

Some small benefits?

This was a thesis on super batteries!

If Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa knew about this, who knew how shocked they would be?

Of course, regarding this…

Lin Fan did not care.

He casually sent the thesis to the editorial department of Science.

When he was about to leave the study, he saw the super smart watch on his wrist.

Hence, Lin Fan said, "Lil White, can you get my thesis approved in the shortest time possible?"

As one of the most authoritative scientific research magazines in the world, Science was the holy land in the hearts of all scientific researchers. They received countless emails every day.

For most scholars, successfully publishing a paper in Science was something they were extremely proud of. In fact, they could even make a meteoric rise immediately.

Therefore, the email of the editor of Science was filled with endless manuscripts all year round.

Lin Fan had sent the manuscript over. Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a week or two before it could be reviewed.

That was why he asked the super smart watch.

"No problem, Master!"

The screen of the super smartwatch flashed slightly and emitted a crisp and pleasant sound.

In America…

At this time, it was early in the morning.

Science's editor, Howard Theus, was lying on a soft bed with a faint smile on his face. Clearly, he was having a good dream.

At this moment, the phone beside his bed suddenly rang.

However, the noise did not wake Howard up.

The next moment, the TV in his room suddenly turned on automatically and switched on the sound system that he had not used in a long time.

Howard was so frightened that he jumped out of bed.

"What happened? What's wrong?"

When he saw that it was the TV, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"I remember that I turned it off before I went to bed. Did I remember wrongly?"

Howard shook his head and did not care too much.

He picked up the remote control by the bed and turned it off. Then, he lay back on the bed.

However, he had only laid down for a while when the TV and sound system were turned on again, and a series of ear-splitting sounds were heard.

Howard jumped up again and shouted, "F*ck! Is this TV crazy? I'll throw it into the trash tomorrow!"

After saying that, Howard stood up angrily and pulled out the power cord.

After going through the trouble, Howard felt a little thirsty.

He got up and went to the kitchen. He poured a glass of ice water and gulped it down.

Then, he returned to his room to continue sleeping.

At this moment…

The oven, which would only make a sound after it was done roasting something, made continuous ringing noises.

The washing machine, which only played light music after washing clothes, kept playing light music.

The refrigerator door, which would only make a sound when it was not closed even after a long time, produced an urgent beeping sound…

All the electrical appliances that could make sounds rang at this moment.

It was extremely noisy and hurried!

Howard held his head and shouted, "What the f*ck?! What's going on?"

Then, he quickly unplugged all the electrical appliances.

Just as Howard heaved a sigh of relief, the laptop in the study started playing loud music.

He quickly walked into the study and raised his hand to turn off the laptop.

However, Howard soon realized that he could not control the mouse at all.

Even if the power was unplugged, the laptop still ran on its battery.

Howard shouted angrily, "If I find out who's playing this prank on me, I'll definitely make them pay!"

At this moment, the music on the laptop suddenly stopped.

At the same time, an email popped up on the screen.

'Principles and Applications of Super Batteries.'

Howard, who was in a state of anger, only glanced at it casually at first.

Not long after, however, he could not take his eyes off it.

"This… This… Could such a small battery continuously release so much electricity?

"If this thesis is true…

"Super battery…

"Super batteries will definitely change the entire mobile phone electronics industry!

"Whose article is this? Lin Fan from Jiangbei University? The mathematician and the genius who invented the earthquake prediction device?

"Oh my God!"

Now, Lin Fan's name could be said to be well-known in the scientific research world.

At this moment, Howard had completely forgotten about the unpleasantness from before. He was extremely excited.

If it was Lin Fan, the value of this thesis would rise to another level.

"I have to ask the managing editor for permission and then look for a big shot in the industry to review it…"

Then, Howard ignored the abnormality of the electrical appliances in the house and the sky that had yet to completely brighten up. He took out his phone and dialed the number of the managing editor.

309 Science!

The managing editor, who was sleeping, suddenly received a call.

He was like a furious lion.

His voice was terrifyingly low.

When he saw the paper, Principles and Applications of Super Batteries, he immediately became extremely excited and praised Howard Theus.

As the managing editor of Science, he knew very well what this thesis represented.

Some people were extremely proud of their paper being published in Science.

There were also some papers that were published by Science that made Science feel honored.

This thesis on super batteries was the latter.

One had to know…

Science was not the only top journal in the world. 𝙗𝒆𝙙𝒏𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙣𝙚𝒕

If they did not review and reply immediately.

What if… the other party felt that they had neglected him, so they decided to send the manuscript to Science's long-time rival, Nature?

At that time… he would definitely regret it.

Therefore, the managing editor immediately forwarded Principles and Applications of Super Batteries to Professor Stephen Jenny of Hemp Rope Technology University.

The next day, Hemp Rope Technology University's chemistry laboratory was bustling with activity.

Lin Fan had no idea about all of this.

These few days, Lin Fan just went to school, slept, and ate. He was experiencing the leisurely life of a student. It was very relaxed and pleasant.

He was relaxed, but Professor Stephen Jenny was the complete opposite.

In the past few days, Professor Stephen had been experimenting and checking the theory of the super battery.

Today, the experimental results finally appeared, and they were completely consistent with the data in the thesis.

The thesis was… correct!

When the editorial department of Science received the feedback, they did not hesitate to publish the thesis and added a prominent title on the cover.

At this moment, in the headquarters of a popular mobile phone company in America.

The technical director took a stack of documents and rushed to the president's office.

"What's wrong?" Kaku asked curiously.

"Super battery! You'll know when you see it," the technical director said.

One should not think that the CEO did not know anything and only knew how to give orders blindly.

On the contrary, the CEO knew much more than the average person.

Kaku quickly flipped through the information. After a moment, his face gradually revealed a hint of shock and solemnity.

"According to the thesis, the battery size of mobile phones can be reduced by at least half, but the capacity can be increased by several times! How authentic is this thesis?"

Nowadays, cell phones were always developing in the direction of being lighter and thinner.

The super battery could undoubtedly achieve the ultimate in this aspect, and it could even be said to be subversive.

It was no wonder that Kaku would show such an expression.

"This paper was reviewed by Professor Stephen Jenny from Hemp Rope Technology University," the technical director said. "He's an authority figure on batteries. Also, last night, I did a few last-minute experiments according to the thesis, and the date I got was exactly the same as the data mentioned in the thesis.

"Therefore, there's no need to doubt the authenticity."

When Kaku heard this, he turned around a few times before picking up the phone on the table. "Mr. Wilson, I need you to get the contact information of Lin Fan, the author of the Science thesis, Principles and Applications of Super Batteries, as soon as possible! Hurry!"

"Yes, Sir!" Wilson's serious voice came from the phone.

Bangzi Country, Four Star Corporation.

Chairman Lee Kangxi listened to the director's report and frowned. "Super battery? Moreover, it's a super battery developed by someone in Hua Nation? You know I hate those two words!"

After a while, Li Kangxi continued, "Now, we must make two preparations.

"First, we need to get in touch with Lin Fan as soon as possible and try to buy the patent for the super battery.

"Secondly, we need to check if Lin Fan from Hua Nation is a nationality of Bangzi Country."

"Yes, Sir!" the director said respectfully.

Hua Nation, Dahua Phone Group.

Chairman Ran Fei had a habit of spending at least an hour a day reading the most cutting-edge scientific research reports.

He knew very well that technology was the only driving force for progress.

When he picked up the latest issue of Science on the table, he was quickly attracted by the title on the cover, Principles and Applications of Super Batteries.

Then, Ran Fei almost buried his entire head in the journal.

After a long while, he muttered to himself excitedly, "The battery capacity can actually be increased by so much…"

Ran Fei quickly dialed a number and said, "Director Liu, have you seen the latest issue of Science?"

"You're talking about Principles and Applications of Super Batteries, right? I was just about to report this to you," Director Liu said.

"Oh? What do you think of the thesis? Is it possible?" Ran Fei asked.

"There's no problem with the basic logic, but the specific data still needs to be verified personally," Director Liu said.

Ran Fei said, "Put everything aside now. Form a research team of 20 to 50 people and verify the experiment in the shortest time possible!"

"Alright!" Director Liu immediately replied.

Then, Ran Fei dialed the number of the director of the Human Resources Department and said, "Help me get the contact information of Lin Fan from Jiangbei University as soon as possible."

"Yes, Sir!" the HR director said.

Ran Fei paced around the office. After thinking for a moment, he made another call and said, "Help me book a plane ticket to Jiangbei. The sooner the better!"

All the big shots in the mobile phone industry had noticed the thesis, Principles and Applications of Super Batteries.

They all asked their HR department to help them find Lin Fan's contact information. However, the most they could find was Lin Fan's email address.

As for his phone number and his house address, they failed to get that information.

In fact, this was normal.

After all, Lin Fan was a member of the Dragon Division, and his identity was encrypted.

In addition, Lin Fan invented the earthquake prediction device and solved many mathematical problems. He also said that he would not accept any interviews.

The officials understood that Lin Fan did not want to be disturbed.

Naturally… no one would know about his information.

They did not manage to find his cell phone number or specific address…

Helpless, the senior executives of the cell phone companies could only send Lin Fan emails.

However, as a young man of the 21st century, why would he check his email regularly?

These emails were destined to be unseen.

310 Lin Fan's a Good Role Model; Cooperate!

That night, Lin Fan arrived at Yi Ke City.

Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling were so happy that they did not sleep the entire night.

The next day, Lin Fan dragged his tired body to the classroom.

At this time, there were still a few minutes before class started. The students around were chatting about games and television dramas, relaxed and unrestrained. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝑡

The old professor strolled in after the bell rang.

He cleared his throat and began his lullaby-like lecture.

Lin Fan felt his eyelids sink, and he fell asleep.

When the bell rang, the old professor stopped lecturing.

It was also at this moment that hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the corridor.

"Lin Fan… Is Lin Fan here?"

The old professor and the students all looked towards the door.

It was Professor Zhao Xueqin and Professor Li Rongfa, who had interacted with Lin Fan not long ago.

The old professor obviously knew them and could not help but ask in puzzlement, "Professor Zhao, Professor Li, why are you looking for Lin Fan?"

It was no wonder the old professor asked.

If a mathematics or physics teacher or professor came to look for Lin Fan, that was easier to understand.

After all, Lin Fan was a genius in the mathematics department.

Whether it was mathematics or physics, there were some complicated computational problems involved.

However, the problem was that Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa were professors in the School of Chemistry!

Chemistry did not require particularly complicated calculations, right?

Li Rongfa said, "Lin Fan's super battery thesis has been published in the latest issue of Science!"

After he said this, his voice trembled with excitement.

Li Rongfa was a chemistry professor, and he also had a deep understanding of batteries.

Lin Fan even added his and Zhao Xueqin's names to the thesis. Even though it was only as second authors, it was a great honor!

As Li Rongfa finished speaking, the entire classroom instantly fell silent.

Nature and Science were known as the best in scientific research.

Everyone who was involved in scientific research dreamed of being able to publish a thesis in those two journals.

Lin Fan was a genius.

However, he was a math genius!

Why would he have a paper published in Science?

Moreover, it was a battery thesis. Chemistry?

This…

When did Lin Fan start researching chemistry?

When the class suddenly fell into silence, Lin Fan's snoring sounded particularly abrupt.

The old professor, the students, Zhao Xueqin, and Li Rongfa looked over at the sound of snoring. They all focused their gazes on Lin Fan.

Everyone had the same thought, 'He must have stayed up the entire night last night! Outstanding people sure do work the hardest!'

At this moment, Lin Fan slowly woke up from his deep sleep.

He raised his head and looked at everyone's gazes. For a moment, he was at a loss.

He muttered in his heart, 'Wasn't it fine to sleep in class in the past? What's going on today? Why is everyone looking at me?'

The old professor praised sincerely, "Lin Fan, you're truly good! You're a role model for everyone!"

The old professor was the first to applaud.

Then…

All the students in the class applauded.

Lin Fan was stunned again. What was going on?

Role model?

Role model for what?

Sleeping while studying?

It did not seem like it.

Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa hurried over.

"Lin Fan, your paper, Principles and Applications of Super Batteries, has been published in Science! Moreover, it even appeared on the cover!"

As Li Rongfa spoke, he quickly showed the cover of the latest issue of Science.

When the old professor and the other students heard this, the horror on their faces intensified.

The cover!

To be able to publish a thesis in Science was already extremely rare.

Lin Fan had actually appeared on the cover!

This…

This…

Compared to everyone's surprise, Lin Fan's face revealed a look of realization.

How smart was he?

He instantly understood that the old professor's words were indeed a compliment.

Lin Fan looked at the super smart watch on his wrist and secretly gave it a thumbs-up.

In just a few days, the thesis passed the review and was successfully published.

Lil White's ability was not bad!

Li Rongfa continued, "I and Professor Zhao didn't help you at all. But you wrote our names as the second authors… We don't deserve it."

When Li Rongfa said this, he became excited again.

The old professor standing on the podium revealed a hint of envy.

The cover of Science… Even if it was as second author, it was still a very big deal.

Lin Fan said calmly, "You guys helped me by showing me the battery experiment. So, there's no problem writing it putting your names for the position of second authors."

They became second authors of a thesis published in Science just because they let him watch the battery experiment?

The old professor said, "I can do that too!"

At this moment, another set of footsteps sounded from outside the corridor.

Feng Weijian, the vice chancellor of Jiangbei University, and a square-faced middle-aged man walked in.

"Professor Zhao, Professor Li, Professor Wang, you're all here." Feng Weijian smiled.

Then, he looked at Lin Fan and pointed at the square-faced man beside him, "Lin Fan, this is Mr. Ran Fei, the chairman of Dahua Phone Group. He says he has something to discuss with you."

"Hello, Mr. Lin," Ran Fei said hurriedly.

Lin Fan said, "Hello, Chairman Ran. May I know why you're looking for me?"

Ran Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to start a cooperation with you on the super battery."

Silence.

The entire classroom fell silent again.

Previously, the students only thought that Lin Fan was able to publish a thesis on Science and that it was an amazing thing. Most of them admired him for it.

At this moment, they were filled with envy. It could even be said that they were jealous.

One had to know…

Dahua Phone Group was the leading company in the entire communications industry in Hua Nation.

Dahua Phone Group was not listed, but according to external estimates, its market value was at least two trillion yuan.

The chairman of such a large company actually came over personally to discuss cooperation because of Lin Fan's super battery.

How much compensation would that be?

100 million?

300 million?

More?

When the students thought of this, they felt their throats go dry.

Regarding this…

Lin Fan said calmly, "Cooperation? Sure."

In fact, he could also choose to build his own company or factory.

However, just thinking about it made Lin Fan feel troubled.

In addition, Dahua Phone Company's reputation had always been good, so it was worth working with them.

"Then why don't we go somewhere else to talk?" Ran Fei said happily. "After all, I still have to get the company to send the corresponding information and contract over by fax."

Lin Fan nodded. "Alright."

311 Choice; Shock!

Under the envious gazes of the students, Lin Fan and Ran Fei walked out together.

Soon, they arrived at Feng Weijian's office.

Ran Fei had also come into contact with many young geniuses.

However, no matter how talented these young people were, they would still be somewhat restrained in front of him.

Ran Fei believed that there were two reasons for this.

Firstly, there was a difference in wealth.

Secondly, it was the difference in social status.

From the moment he saw Lin Fan in the classroom, Ran Fei had been observing him secretly.

Ran Fei realized that Lin Fan's expression was extremely relaxed and calm.

He could not help but praise the genius who solved several math problems and invented the earthquake prediction device and super battery. He was indeed different.

In fact…

It was normal for Lin Fan to have such a reaction.

Speaking of wealth…

Lin Fan's wealth far surpassed Ran Fei's.

In terms of social status…

Lin Fan was the second largest shareholder of Penguin Group and Little Tanuki Group. He was also the largest shareholder of Imperial Hotel, Yinshan Group, Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and so on. He was also the captain of the Dragon Division.

In addition, Lin Fan was also on good terms with Qin Weiming, Zhou Guotao, and the other elders.

In terms of social status, Ran Fei did not hold a candle to him.

This was equivalent to a superior and a subordinate walking together. How could Lin Fan be nervous?

Ran Fei sat down and said, "Mr. Lin, you should know that our Dahua Phone Group is divided into two business segments. The first is communication equipment, and the second is smartphones."

Lin Fan saw that Ran Fei was about to say something and interrupted, "Chairman Ran, you just said that you want to cooperate with me on my super battery."

Ran Fei immediately understood that Lin Fan did not like to beat about the bush.

"I know about the super battery," he said. "You must have spent a lot of effort to invent it. So, we don't plan to buy the patent right away."

No, Ran Fei was thinking too much.

Lin Fan only spent about an hour watching the battery experiment and reading a few battery-related books.

Ran Fei continued, "I've prepared two ways of cooperation for the time being. Mr. Lin, take a listen to it first. Of course, you can also state your requirements.

"The first option is for Dahua Phone Group to spend 500 million yuan and obtain the right to use the super battery for ten years. You can continue to sign corresponding cooperation agreements with other companies.

"The second option is for our Dahua Phone Group to spend 1.5 billion yuan to obtain the exclusive rights to the super battery for ten years. Other companies who want to use the super battery will need to sign a contract with our Da Hua Phone Group."

Vice Chancellor Feng Weijian, who was sitting next to them and had been silent all this while, trembled slightly as he held the glass of water.

500 million!

1.5 billion!

Feng Weijian had seen a lot of the world.

However, he was still shocked by such a large number.

Lin Fan's face was still calm as he said, "I'll go for the second option."

This was not because Lin Fan felt that 1.5 billion was a lot of money and that was why he chose it.

One had to know…

1.5 billion was only the price of a high-end office building.

Lin Fan had a few such office buildings.

In addition, Lin Fan had several billion yuan in his own account.

The real reason was that Lin Fan felt that it was too troublesome to sign contracts with different companies.

Gulp!

Feng Weijian, who was sitting at the side, could not help but swallow his saliva.

1.5 billion!

Ran Fei took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I'll get someone to send the contract over now."

Although the technical director had already done several experiments to prove that there was no problem with the thesis data, the 1.5 billion patent fee was still a huge gamble for Ran Fei!

It would be fine if no one could invent a better battery in the next few years.

If someone invented a better battery soon, it would definitely be a blow to Dahua Phone Group.

After a series of crisp sounds from the fax machine, three warm copies of the contract appeared in Ran Fei's hands.

Ran Fei first spent about 20 minutes carefully checking the contract before handing a copy to Lin Fan. He said, "Mr. Lin, please take a look."

Compared to Ran Fei's meticulous manner, Lin Fan was much more casual.

Lin Fan quickly flipped through the contract. After a few seconds, he stopped and said, "Alright, there's no problem with the contract. Shall we sign it directly?"

Ran Fei was slightly stunned.

No problem?

Was he not going to take a look?

He did it so casually?

This was a 1.5 billion contract!

Ran Fei did not know that Lin Fan had a scanning ability.

Although Lin Fan only spent a short time reading it, his understanding of the contents of the contract far exceeded Ran Fei's.

Even if he wanted Lin Fan to recite the contents of the contract, it would not be a problem.

Seeing that Ran Fei did not reply, Lin Fan asked, "What else do we need to wait for?"

"No, no, no. There's no need. You can sign it now," Ran Fei replied.

Lin Fan nodded. He picked up the pen on the table and quickly signed his name.

Ran Fei also signed his name and stamped the official seal he carried with him.

Feng Zijian, who was sitting at the side, swallowed his saliva again.

A 1.5 billion sky-high contract was completed in front of him just like that?

He felt that it was so unreal.

"Mr. Lin, I've already asked the finance department to transfer the money to you. It should arrive soon," Ran Fei said.

Lin Fan nodded his head casually and did not really mind.

Sure enough, after a while, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 1.5 billion yuan was deposited into your account.]

Lin Fan waved his phone and said, "It's in my account."

Ran Fei took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

At this moment, Lin Fan stretched out his hand and said, "To a happy cooperation."

The news of Dahua Phone Group spending 1.5 billion yuan on the patent for the super battery quickly spread.

This time, it was not just the mobile electronics industry that was shaken. The entire internet was shaken as well.

On Weibo.

Love of a Lifetime: [1.5 billion? Heavens! Oh my god! How could a patent be so valuable?]

Fat Monkey King: [I finally understand why the elderly always said that education is important. From now on, I'll study hard! When a beauty comes to chat with me, I'll kick her away because I want to study hard! If the beauty invites me to drink milk tea, I'll reject her directly because I want to study hard. If the beauty asks me to watch a movie with her, I'll tear up the movie ticket because I want to study hard! Women will only affect my studies!]

You, Me, Him: [The commenter above… What are you thinking? Why would a beauty look for you?]

312 Heading to Li City; Delicious!

Shadowless: [1.5 billion! When can I earn a fraction of it?]

Happy Happy: [Did you notice who signed the super battery patent contract with Dahua Phone Group? It's Lin Fan! The Lin Fan who solved Zhou's Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, and Hail Conjecture!]

Golden Goldfish: [F*ck it!]

Likes Chuzheng: [F*ck!]

Loved for Life: [F*ck!]

Coming and Going: [He has solved several unsolved math problems, invented an earthquake prediction device, and now developed a super battery. He has also obtained a 1.5 billion patent license… Reality is constantly reminding me that I'm only here to make up the numbers!]

As for the discussions online, Lin Fan was completely ignorant.

After signing the contract with Ran Fei, the chairman of Dahua Phone Group, he drove his Mercedes-Benz to the airport.

Then, he boarded the latest flight to Li City.

It was because just now… Su Ningjing sent a message saying that some people from Magpie Coffee wanted to buy their coffee beans.

Magpie Coffee was the world's largest coffee company.

Generally speaking, they would not do anything like forcing people to buy or sell.

However, this was under normal circumstances.

Lin Fan knew that these coffee beans were obtained from the system.

Lin Fan would not be surprised by how good their taste was.

Spirit Tea… was the best example.

If Magpie Coffee discovered the magical properties of the coffee beans, it was hard to say what they would do.

Lin Fan was afraid that Su Ningjing would not be able to handle it and was even more afraid that she would get hurt.

That was why he came to Li City personally.

Lin Fan drove the Porsche that had been parked at the airport for nearly two months and sped along the winding mountain road.

About two hours later, a short house finally appeared in his sight.

Lin Fan had just parked his car when a little girl with pigtails ran out and said happily, "Elder Brother, it's Elder Brother! Brother is here!"

As Ah Mei finished speaking, the woman with jet-black hair and beautiful eyes that sparkled like gems stuck her head out.

It was Su Ningjing.

Today, Su Ningjing was wearing a white shirt and a plaid apron around her waist. Her already voluptuous figure looked even curvier under the contrast of her clothes.

Su Ningjing had been living in the mountain village for the past two months.

However, her skin did not show any signs of aging or coarseness.

It was because Lin Fan had given her a lot of beauty essence.

In addition, because Su Ningjing had always lived in the mountain village, her body had a unique and pure aura.

"Lin Fan, you're here?" Su Ningjing let out a sound like the sound of spring water.

Lin Fan smiled. "Yes, I'm here."

Su Ningjing seemed to be attracted by him. She quickly walked toward Lin Fan and threw herself into his arms.

After a while, Su Ningjing seemed to realize that Ah Mei was still beside her.

Hence, she quickly broke free from Lin Fan's embrace and said with a red face, "Uhh… I've already prepared my meal. Let's go eat first."

"Alright," Lin Fan replied. At the same time, he grabbed Su Ningjing's slender hand.

Su Ningjing looked at her younger sister who was watching her from the side. She was a little shy and wanted to break free.

However, Lin Fan increased the strength of his grip.

Instantly, Su Ningjing was completely enveloped in shyness and sweetness.

At this moment, there were green pepper scrambled eggs, mushroom egg soup, small fish, and other dishes on the table.

Lin Fan sniffed the fragrance of the dishes, and the familiar scent immediately surged into his heart. This was the smell of his grandmother's cooking when he was young. His appetite was immediately whetted.

Back then, Lin Fan had asked Su Ningjing to stay in the Coiling Dragon Villa to clean the place…

The biggest attributing factor to why she was hired was that she could replicate the taste of Lin Fan's grandmother's cooking.

Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony. He sat down and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

However, he quickly noticed Su Ningjing, Ah Mei, and the old lady not moving.

He immediately recalled that the custom here was for the men to eat first while the women ate the leftovers.

Lin Fan said, "Grandma, Ningjing, Sis… Didn't we already agree the last time? Times are different now. At least when you eat with me, you don't have to be like this."

The old lady hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Ningjing, Ah Mei… let's have the meal together."

When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but let out a smile.

He was very happy and satisfied with the meal.

Lin Fan lay on the bamboo chair and looked at the sun that was setting in the distance. He was extremely satisfied.

Suddenly, Lin Fan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, how's the taste of the coffee beans?"

"It's delicious!" Su Ning said. "Grandma, Ah Mei, and the villagers all said it's delicious."

When Su Ningjing mentioned the coffee beans, a smile appeared on her pretty face.

The beans were something that Lin Fan had left behind in the village. In her eyes, they were like her own children.

The more people liked them, the happier she was.

After a pause, Su Ningjing said, "I'll brew you a cup right now."

After a while, Su Ningjing walked over with a porcelain cup.

Inside… was a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

Even though Lin Fan had not drunk it yet, he was already attracted by its rich fragrance.

Under Su Ningjing's expectant gaze, Lin Fan finally poured the coffee into his mouth.

As soon as the coffee entered his mouth, it felt like a soft ribbon had slid down his throat.

At the same time, Lin Fan seemed to hear the sound of flowing water and smell the fragrance of the grass in the forest…

Silky and sweet!

After a while, Su Ningjing could not help but ask, "How does it taste?"

Lin Fan nodded seriously. "It's good!"

Although it was only two words, it made Su Ningjing feel as if she had eaten a candied fruit. Her heart felt sweet.

As night fell, the elderly and child had already fallen asleep.

Su Ningjing came to Lin Fan's room and helped him lay out new sheets and blankets.

Just as Su Ningjing was about to turn around and leave, Lin Fan gently pulled her into his embrace.

o(ε*)

(*3)(ε*)

After a short separation, the couple seemed like newlyweds.

The next day, at dawn, a rooster came to a high place with its head held high and let out a loud cry as if to prove its existence.

Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes and looked at his phone.

A text message appeared on the screen as usual.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,120,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Lin Fan muttered in his heart, 'This time, I'm at another place. Let's see what I can get when signing in.]

"Check in."

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 10% shares of Magpie Coffee.]

313 You're a Bad Person!

When Lin Fan heard the system notification, a weird look appeared on his face.

If he remembered correctly, it was Magpie Coffee that wanted to buy their coffee beans, right?

Now, he directly owned 10% shares of Magpie Coffee?

One had to know…

The first shareholder of Magpie Coffee had 23% of the shares, while the second shareholder only had 8% of the shares.

Thus, he had become the second shareholder?

In the past, he often heard others say that one could become a shareholder by speculating in stocks.

This time… had he been acquired and become a shareholder?

Lin Fan shook his head and tossed this small matter to the back of his mind.

He slowly got up and walked out.

At this moment, the sun was rising from the mountains in the distance. It gradually emitted a warm and gentle light. Coupled with the gentle breeze and sweet air, it made him feel extremely relaxed.

At this moment, Su Ningjing walked over.

When Lin Fan heard her voice, he raised his hand and hugged her slender waist.

There was beautiful nature in front of him and a beautiful woman hugging him.

Everything was so wonderful.

Time… It was as if the pause button had been pressed at this moment.

After an unknown period of time, a crisp voice sounded behind them.

"Sister, Brother, it's time for breakfast!"

In an instant, Su Ningjing's pretty face turned red. She reflexively tried to break free from Lin Fan's embrace.

Just like yesterday, Lin Fan held her hand tightly.

Strong and warm, it made her feel at ease and happy.

For breakfast, Su Ningjing made sweet potatoes, yam, and corn and cooked up a few eggs that were taken from the chicken coop.

The meal was simple and delicious.

Just as they finished breakfast, a car roared outside.

Then, three men in suits and leather shoes strode in.

The man at the front looked at Su Ningjing.

Although he had already seen Su Ningjing's beautiful face yesterday, when he saw it again, he was still stunned. His face was filled with fascination.

He had never thought that there would be such a beautiful woman in the mountain village.

"Ms. Su, have you thought about the one million yuan we offered to buy your coffee beans yesterday?" the man asked after a while.

One million? They wanted to buy the coffee beans from the system for one million?

This was a joke.

"Not really!" Lin Fan replied immediately.

The man frowned slightly. He seemed to have just realized that a man had appeared.

"Who are you?"

Lin Fan skillfully held Su Ningjing's slender waist and said, "Ningjing's boyfriend, Lin Fan."

Even though Su Ningjing had already given everything to Lin Fan, she was hugged by Lin Fan in front of everyone. He even said that he was her boyfriend.

It still made her extremely shy. Her pretty face was like a ripe red apple, and she wished she could bury her little head in a hole.

When the man saw this, his face darkened.

After seeing Su Ningjing yesterday, he had already been secretly thinking about how to woo her.

However, she actually had a boyfriend?!

The man took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

He said, "Ms. Su, I know that you grew up in this mountain village and are very innocent. This is a rare quality.

"However, I hope you understand that some people are not as innocent as you."

As the man said this, his gaze landed on Lin Fan.

The meaning of this sentence was obvious.

"Mr. Lin, I don't seem to have seen you in the village before. Yesterday, Magpie Coffee wanted to buy Ms. Su's coffee beans at a high price of one million. Today, you immediately appeared…"

These words were clearly trying to sow discord and plant the seeds of distrust in Su Ningjing's heart.

"Magpie Coffee not only has good coffee, but we also uphold a culture of innocence and efficiency," the man continued.

"Ms. Su is the owner of this coffee plantation. We want to carry out the negotiation process efficiently. Magpie Coffee would like to talk to Ms. Su in private… We're willing to pay a price higher than yesterday's price… Ms. Smith, what do you think?"

First, he instigated discord and planted the seeds of distrust. Then, he let money do the talking…

If it were someone else, they would probably follow the man's words and choose to discuss with him alone.

Unfortunately, he met Su Ningjing today.

In fact…

When the man said the first sentence, Su Ningjing already wanted to retort.

However, Lin Fan gave her a look and told her not to say anything.

That was why the man continued speaking.

At this moment, Su Ningjing could no longer hold it in and said angrily, "Our family doesn't welcome you, nor will we do business with you. Please leave!"

The man stiffened slightly. He did not expect Su Ningjing to have such a big reaction and was at a loss for what to do.

Lin Fan gently patted Su Ningjing's waist and said, "I don't know if I'm innocent or not…However, you mentioned an efficient negotiation method just now, so there's no problem for you to negotiate with me.

"Because I planted all the coffee here."

The man looked at Lin Fan suspiciously.

Ah Mei, who was at the side, also felt the man's hostility toward Lin Fan. She said angrily, "Brother took two days to plant everything before he was done! He was so tired! You're a bad person!"

When the man heard that, he finally believed that Lin Fan had planted the coffee.

After all, children usually would not lie.

"Mr. Lin, right? Let me introduce myself first. I'm Zhu Yuanhui, the manager of the Southern Hua Nation region of Magpie Coffee."

When he spoke, he raised his head and faced Lin Fan. He was extremely arrogant.

Zhu Yuanhui continued, "Our Magpie Coffee is prepared to buy your coffee for one million yuan. What do you think?"

"I'm not interested," Lin Fan said calmly.

Zhu Yuanhui thought that Lin Fan was trying to raise the price. He laughed coldly. "Mr. Lin, this is the highest price we can offer you. Don't even think about raising the price.

"Perhaps you don't know much about Magpie Coffee, so let me give you a simple introduction.

"Magpie Coffee is the largest coffee company in the world, with a total market value of more than a trillion! It's inextricably linked to all the companies in the world!

"If Magpie Coffee doesn't buy your coffee beans, then I can guarantee that your coffee beans won't be able to go out of this mountain!

"Don't think that you can sell coffee beans online now that the internet is developed. That's also wishful thinking! That's because we, Magpie Coffee, have a deep partnership with Penguin Group, Little Tanuki Group, Alphabet Group, and other giant internet companies!"

314 Brother; You're Too Awesome!

After Zhu Yuanhui said these words, his expression became even more arrogant, and his nose was pointed so high up that it almost reached the sky.

He believed that this young man named Lin Fan knew what Little Tanuki Group, Penguin Group, and Alphabet Group represented.

At the same time, he would also understand the meaning of a market value of more than trillions!

He could almost see Lin Fan hunching over and begging him to buy his coffee beans.

Zhu Yuanhui was even considering whether he should lower the price later.

However, Zhu Yuanhui did not notice that Lin Fan's face was full of mockery after he said those words.

At this moment, Lin Fan's phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID, and a strange expression appeared on his face.

That was because the caller was the person Zhu Yuanhui had just mentioned, Chairman Zhang Daming.

In the eyes of outsiders, the internet was a very mysterious place.

However, in the eyes of professionals, there were no secrets.

Ever since Lin Fan obtained 5% of the shares of the Alphabet Group, Zhang Daming had been paying close attention to Lin Fan.

Soon, he found out that Lin Fan owned 5% of Penguin Group's and Little Tanuki Group's shares.

Gradually, Lin Fan's shares in Penguin Group and Little Tanuki Group became 10%.

Not long ago, that figure reached 20%!

Lin Fan kept increasing his shares in Penguin and Ah-Ri, but would he increase his shares in Alphabet?

Zhang Daming did not know, but he had a vague guess in his heart.

Therefore, he had been a little anxious these days.

Finally, Zhang Daming mustered up his courage and called Lin Fan, trying to get close to him.

"Mr. Lin, how have you been?"

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Daming's hearty laughter rang out.

"I'm doing pretty well too. I'm doing just as well as the recent developments of our Alphabet! Mr. Lin, our Alphabet is preparing to launch a few more projects, but I wonder what the prospects are. I wonder if you're free to come to Alphabet's headquarters? It's also good for us to check in with you," Zhang Daming said.

Lin Fan was a smart person and naturally knew what Zhang Daming meant.

He waved his hand and said, "I won't do that. Besides, I don't know anything. I believe that you'll develop Alphabet well."

When Zhang Daming heard this, he was extremely happy.

However, he still said, "Mr. Lin, you're too humble."

At this moment, Lin Fan seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, is Alphabet working with Magpie Coffee?"

Zhang Daming did not know why Lin Fan would ask this.

However, he still told the truth, "Yes, that's right."

Lin Fan said, "I planted a batch of good coffee beans. Zhu Yuanhui, the manager of the Southern Hua Nation region of Magpie Coffee, said that if I don't sell them, he'll make sure that my coffee beans won't leave the mountain…"

Zhang Daming's heart skipped a beat.

If Mr. Lin refused to sell the coffee, he would not be able to sell them outside the mountain?

Threatening Lin Fan? Someone actually threatened Lin Fan, who held 5% of Alphabet's shares and 20% each of Little Tanuki and Penguin's shares?!

Zhu Yuanhui… was really… bold!

How bold!

He had just said that Alphabet had a collaboration with Magpie Coffee. If Lin Fan misunderstood…

The consequences…

Zhang Daming's heart jumped again, and he quickly said, "Mr. Lin, don't worry. I'll definitely get Magpie Coffee to give you a satisfactory answer!"

"Alright," said Lin Fan.

Then, he hung up.

Zhu Yuanhui, who was standing at the side, sneered, "Alphabet? Could this be a call from the leader of Alphabet? Oh, no, no. According to your tone on the phone just now, you seem to be a senior executive of Alphabet."

Lin Fan said lightly, "I was on a call with the chairman of Alphabet, Zhang Daming. However, I'm not a senior executive of Alphabet Jump. I'm just a shareholder."

When Zhu Yuanhui heard Lin Fan's words, he laughed out loud. "Hahaha! Bro, you really know how to brag! Zhang Daming? You, a shareholder? Hahaha!"

Lin Fan's expression remained calm. He was about to say something when his phone rang again.

He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was President Ma from Penguin Group.

These days, Xiao Ma was always alone and worried.

Lin Fan had already raised his shares in Penguin to 20%.

With such a rapid increase in shares, Lin Fan would become the biggest shareholder of Penguin and the real boss! Xiao Ma also felt that it was possible.

As the chairman of the board, President Ma had only met Lin Fan twice and did not know his personality.

In President Ma's opinion, this was a very dangerous thing.

Therefore, these days… President Ma had been looking for an opportunity to contact Lin Fan.

Today, he finally had an opportunity!

"Hello, Mr. Lin!" President Ma said.

Lin Fan said, "Hello, President Ma."

He did not wait for the president to speak and said directly, "President Ma, does Penguin Group have a partnership with Magpie Coffee?"

When President Ma heard Lin Fan's question, he was very happy.

He was not afraid of Lin Fan having too many questions for him, but he was afraid of not being able to communicate with Lin Fan.

He typed quickly on the keyboard, and soon, the information about Penguin's cooperation with Magpie Coffee appeared clearly on the screen.

Hence, President Ma said, "Our Penguin Group owns 10% of Hua Nation's shares of Magpie Coffee. In addition, the advertising and publicity of Magpie Coffee are all handled by us."

President Ma briefly explained the situation in the form of a report.

"I planted some coffee in the mountains of Li City," Lin Fan said. "Now, Zhu Yuanhui, the manager of the Southern Hua Nation region of Magpie Coffee, said that if I don't sell it to him, he'll immediately make sure that my coffee beans can't leave the mountain."

Penguin Group and Magpie Coffee had such deep cooperation.

However, Zhu Yuanhui, the South Hua Nation regional manager of Magpie Coffee, threatened Lin Fan?!

President Ma wanted to get closer to Lin Fan with this call!

Now… it was completely ruined!

Zhu Yuanhui was simply… a bastard!

President Ma stood up in anger and said seriously, "Mr. Lin, don't worry. I'll definitely get Magpie Coffee to give you a satisfactory reply."

"Alright," said Lin Fan.

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Zhu Yuanhui could not help but laugh. "President Ma? Don't tell me that the person who just called you was President Ma of Penguin Group? You're not going to say that you're a shareholder of Penguin Group, are you?"

Lin Fan raised his eyes and said, "I am."

"Awesome, hahaha! Brother, you're really too awesome, hahaha!" After Zhu Yuanhui heard that, he laughed so hard that he bent over.

He thought that Lin Fan would use another way to brag, but he did not expect him to use the same old trick.

315 Not Strange; Nice to Meet You, President!

Amidst Zhu Yuanhui's maniacal laughter, Lin Fan's phone rang again.

This time, it was from President Ma of Little Tanuki Group.

President Da Ma's thoughts were similar to President Xiao Ma. He also wanted to communicate with his future boss as much as possible.

Lin Fan had already received calls from Zhang Daming and President Xiao Ma. It was not strange for him to receive a call from President Da Ma.

Hence, he pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mr. Lin!" President Ma said happily.

Lin Fan did not bother to say anything more and just asked, "President Ma, is there a partnership between Little Tanuki Group and Magpie Coffee?"

President Ma instinctively felt that Lin Fan's tone was a little off.

He thought for a moment and said," Magpie Coffee is the largest coffee dealer in the world. In order to open up the Hua Nation market, the chairman of Magpie Coffee personally came to our Little Tanuki Group and spent a lot of money to set up a flagship store and carry out a series of activities and promotions…"

His explanation was very simple. Magpie Coffee and Ah Li Group did have a partnership.

However, it was only a simple business cooperation.

Clearly, he was giving himself some leeway.

This was definitely a smart move.

Lin Fan understood the meaning behind his words and did not mind it. He said calmly, "I planted some coffee. Zhu Yuanhui, the regional manager of the Southern Hua Nation of Magpie Coffee, just told me that if I don't let him buy it, he'll make sure that my coffee beans will never leave the mountain."

President Ma's eyebrows twitched slightly as he thought, 'Fortunately, I was smart and didn't point out the deep cooperation between Magpie Coffee and Little Tanuki Group.'

Otherwise, would Lin Fan not vent his anger on him?

"How exactly is Magpie Coffee managing their employees? It's simply chaos! Zhu Yuanhui, the regional manager for the Southern Hua Nation?

"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment. I'll get Magpie Coffee to give you an explanation!"

"Alright," said Lin Fan.

After hanging up the phone…

Zhu Yuanhui held back his laughter and said, "Was that a call from President Ma, the chairman of Little Tanuki Group? And you're also a shareholder of Little Tanuki Group?"

"Yes," Lin Fan said.

After Zhu Yuanhui heard Lin Fan's answer, he laughed until tears flowed out.

"What should I do now? I'm so scared. Really, I'm so scared…Hahaha!"

Zhu Yuanhui could not help but laugh. "Bro, since you're already a shareholder of so many giant companies, you wouldn't mind becoming a shareholder of Magpie Coffee too, right? Let's have the president of Magpie Coffee give me a call. I've never spoken to the president before. Let me experience it… Hahaha!"

At this moment, Lin Fan's phone rang again.

This time, it was an unknown number from overseas.

Lin Fan casually pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mr. Lin…"

There was a burst of words in broken Hua Nation language being said over the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Lin." A magnetic voice was heard. "The person who just spoke was Mr. George Davis, the president of Magpie Coffee. I'm his secretary and interpreter, Luo Fang."

Lin Fan glanced at Zhu Yuanhui and said, "This call came at the right time. Zhu Yuanhui, the manager of the Southern Hua Nation region, happens to be forcefully purchasing the coffee beans I planted myself."

Then, Lin Fan pressed the speaker button and said, "Didn't you want to experience talking to your president?"

"Really?" Zhu Yuanhui laughed again. "Did he already call? Hahaha! Good!"

At this moment, Luo Fang had already translated Lin Fan's words to George Davis.

How smart was George Davis to be able to make Magpie Coffee the number one coffee company in the world?

After thinking about it for a while, he knew the general situation.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanhui shouted into the phone, "Are you the president of our Magpie Coffee?"

"I'm the president's secretary and interpreter," Luo Fang said.

"Hahaha! There's also a secretary and an interpreter. Amazing, amazing! Hahaha!" Zhu Yuanhui roared with laughter.

"In this case… Tell that bullsh*t president that Lin Fan's coffee beans will either be bought for one million or they'll never leave the mountain!

"It's useless even if Jesus comes!"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanhui overstepped his authority and directly pressed the button to end the call.

Then, he laughed even harder and almost fell to the ground.

If the first phone call was really from the president of Alphabet, Zhang Daming, Zhu Yuanhui would still believe it a little.

However, the second call was from President Xiao Ma of Penguin Group, the third call was from President Da Ma of Little Tanuki Group, and the fourth call was from the secretary and interpreter of the president of Magpie Coffee… His little bit of faith was completely shattered.

One had to know…

Alphabet, Penguin, and Little Tanuki were the three giants of Hua Nation's internet industry.

It would still be believable if someone knew people from those companies.

However, if someone said that they were a shareholder of the three companies, that would definitely be a joke.

In the end, Lin Fan even said that the secretary and interpreter of the president of Magpie Coffee called.

The president of Magpie Coffee did not need an interpreter. He was from Hua Nation!

All of this meant that Lin Fan had been bragging from the start! How awesome!

However…

Zhu Yuanhui did not know that the president he was thinking of was only the president of the Hua Nation region of Magpie Coffee. Naturally, this person did not have an interpreter.

Lin Fan received a call from the president of the main company of Magpie Coffee. It was normal for him to have an interpreter.

Just as Zhu Yuanhui was about to fall to the ground laughing, the phone in his pocket rang.

Zhu Yuanhui slowly took out his phone. When he saw the caller ID, his expression turned solemn.

It was because the caller was actually the president of the Hua Nation region, Wang Heping!

Zhu Yuanhui had once seen the contact information of the higher-ups of Magpie Coffee on the internal network.

Without any hesitation, he added all of them to his contact list in case it would be useful in the future.

Now, it really came in handy!

Moreover, it was the high and mighty president who called personally!

What kind of honor was this?

Could it be that the president was going to promote him?

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanhui's heart was filled with excitement.

He quickly straightened his clothes, cleared his throat, walked to the side, and said in a tone that was full of worship, "Hello, President. I'm Zhu Yuanhui, the regional manager of the Southern Hua Nation for Magpie Coffee."

First, he took the initiative to greet him, and then, he introduced himself.

Zhu Yuanhui was already imagining the president's compliments.

However…

A deafening roar immediately sounded from the other end of the phone.

"Zhu Yuanhui, f*ck you!"

316 Apologize; Beg for Mercy!

This sentence… Zhu Yuanhui was stunned. He stood rooted to the ground and did not know what to do.

After a while, he stuttered, "P-President, what's wrong?"

When the president heard Zhu Yuanhui's voice, he was annoyed and roared. "What's wrong? Zhu Yuanhui, you bastard, you still have the face to ask what's wrong?! You're supposed to be the manager of the Southern Hua Nation region, and this is how you do your job?!

"I'm asking you now, are you forcefully purchasing coffee beans in Li City?"

Zhu Yuanhui's heart tightened slightly. He did not understand why such a small matter would alert the president.

"P-President, there might be some misunderstanding…"

Obviously, at this moment, Zhu Yuanhui thought that someone had snitched on him.

As for Lin Fan's conversation with Zhang Daming, President Xiao Ma, and President Da Ma, he did not take it to heart.

"Misunderstanding, your *ss!" the president shouted angrily.

"President Zhang from Alphabet, President Ma from Penguin, President Ma from Little Tanuki, and Mr. George Davis, the president of our head office, all called me!"

Buzz!

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanhui seemed to have been electrocuted, and his entire person completely froze.

At this moment, the scene of Lin Fan answering those calls was like a movie that played in his mind.

It was true… Lin Fan was really on the phone with Zhang Daming, President Xiao Ma, President Da Ma, and the president of Magpie Coffee.

He was really the shareholder of Alphabet, Penguin, Little Tanuki, and Magpie Coffee…

Yet, he was still mocking him…

It was over…

He was completely done for!

At this moment, the president's angry voice came from the phone again. "Zhu Yuanhui, I'm telling you, you'd better have an explanation for this! Otherwise, I can guarantee that you won't just lose your job!"

Then, the phone rang with a busy tone.

The busy tone seemed to drain all of Zhu Yuanhui's strength. He could not even hold his phone and dropped it to the ground.

It was not as simple as losing his job…

Zhu Yuanhui knew that the president was not joking.

In the past, the company had been lax in its management, and he had been very secretive, so no one had found out.

However, these things definitely could not withstand close inspection…

In addition, the president also had a powerful network. Even if his deeds went undiscovered, his life would definitely not be easy after he left…

As Zhu Yuanhui thought about it, his entire face gradually turned pale. His body went limp, and he fell to the ground.

He happened to land at Lin Fan's feet.

Zhu Yuanhui suddenly thought of something and quickly prostrated on the ground, kowtowing and begging, "Sorry, Mr. Lin… I was blinded just now. I actually… I actually disrespected you…

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…

"Mr. Lin, if you're angry, you can hit me or kick me…"

As he spoke, he hugged Lin Fan's leg and kept kicking his own face.

Zhu Yuanhui had given up all his dignity to beg for Lin Fan's forgiveness.

It was because he knew that only Lin Fan could save him.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanhui knew that Lin Fan was a super big shot who had hidden very well. It was not too much to apologize to a big shot.

Ah Mei, who was aside, looked at Zhu Yuanhui's pitiful appearance and could not bear it anymore. She said, "Uh… Brother…"

Lin Fan patted Ah Mei's little head. Then, he looked at Zhu Yuanhui with cold eyes and said, "Hurry up and get lost!"

Zhu Yuanhui's heart trembled, and he said in a panic, "M-Mr. Lin…"

"Get lost! Otherwise, I can guarantee that your ending will be even more miserable than you can imagine!" Lin Fan shouted.

Lin Fan would never show any mercy to someone who had designs on his woman and threatened him!

If he did not have such a powerful force, what would have happened today?

Zhu Yuanhui knew that he was really done for…

He did not dare to say anything more. He walked out like a corpse.

The two men in suits who had been following behind him understood that Lin Fan's identity was extraordinary.

They bowed to Lin Fan before walking out of the house with nervous hearts.

As the cars outside roared and sped away into the distance, the village finally regained its peace.

Lin Fan smiled. "I spoke so much just now. My mouth is a little dry… Ningjing, let's go to the mountain and get some fruit to quench our thirst."

"Alright!" Su Ningjing said happily.

"I want to go too!" Ah Mei said excitedly.

Grandma stopped her. "Ah Mei, I still have something for you to do. Don't go with them."

"Alright…" Ah Mei said.

Lin Fan smiled and held Su Ningjing's hand as they walked out.

The two of them walked together on the winding path, waded through the clear stream, climbed trees to pick fruits, picked flowers, and caught butterflies…

Then, they sat together on the green field, leaning against each other.

Looking at the mountains in the distance, breathing in the sweet air around them, feeling the unique warmth of his lover… Everything was so beautiful.

At this moment, an old man carrying firewood slowly walked past the mountain road in the distance.

His skin was tanned, and his back was bent… As the firewood on his shoulder was too heavy, he could not help but stop to catch his breath and rest for a long time.

This scene seemed to have touched a certain chord in Lin Fan's heart.

He could not help but say, "Ningjing, let's bring Grandma and Ah Mei to live in the city."

Su Ningjing was a little silent. For a moment, she did not know how to answer.

Lin Fan continued, "The air in the mountains is good. There's no fighting, and the people here are very simple. But what if Grandma falls sick again? Also, Ah Mei is still young. She shouldn't be trapped in the mountains. She should experience life in the city and enjoy a better life and education…"

Su Ningjing was silent for a while before saying, "Lin Fan, you have a point."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded.

12:00 PM!

The red packets were here!

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received five yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 19 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 9,999 yuan."

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 18,888 yuan.]

Lin Fan tapped the screen a few times and received a total of 57,832 yuan.

Lin Fan did not even look at the money and threw the phone back into his pocket.

"Sister, Brother! Come back home for dinner!"

Ah Mei's loud voice sounded from afar.

Lin Fan replied, "Alright, we're coming!"

317 Return; Choose a Car!

Today's lunch was made by Grandma.

It had to be said that Su Ningjing's and Grandma's cooking skills were passed down from generation to generation.

Chili fried meat, tomato egg soup, hot and sour shredded potatoes, cucumber ham, leek scrambled eggs…

The dishes were very simple, but they were all very delicious.

Lin Fan ate two big bowls of rice during this meal and was extremely satisfied.

He took advantage of the fact that Grandma and Ah Mei were here and repeated his previous thoughts.

"Grandma, Sis, are you willing to live in the city?"

Ah Mei looked at the old lady in confusion, then at Su Ningjing.

Su Ningjing bit her red lip and said, "Grandma, Sis, I want to bring you to the city… This way, it'll be easier to take care of Grandma's health. Ah Mei can also learn more and be able to study well in university in the future."

Grandma first looked up at the mountains outside the window, then at the fields on the hillside.

After a while, she said, "You're right…"

When Lin Fan and Su Ningjing heard this, their faces revealed a hint of joy.

Since they had already made their decision, they did not hesitate and quickly packed their luggage.

In fact, they did not have much to pack.

Grandma, Su Ningjing, and Ah Mei only packed some important things.

Then, they took a few sets of clothes.

The house was already very clean and tidy. Not long after, everything that needed to be taken away was packed up.

"Brother, if we leave, what about the coffee beans?"

Lin Fan patted her head and said, "After this, I'll get people to come over and help with the management and planting. In addition, I'll also get the villagers to help plant coffee plants.

"In the future, they can all eat a lot of delicious food."

As the world's largest coffee company, Magpie Coffee had the most experience in coffee cultivation. They could definitely use coffee to completely change the face of this place.

Ah Mei sat in the Porsche, looking at the old house and the flowing river. Her face was full of reluctance, and her whole person seemed listless.

A child's mood seemed to be like rain. There could be many changes in a short time.

If it was not for the fact that no one else in the plane was speaking, Ah Mei would probably be jumping up and down in joy.

After arriving in Jiangbei…

Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G parked at the airport and drove Su Ningjing, Ah Mei, and Grandma to a Michelin two-star restaurant. They spent 37,800 yuan and had a sumptuous and exquisite dinner. Then, he brought Grandma, Ah Mei, and Su Ningjing to Washington Mansion. It was a 156-square-meter luxurious house.

This was the first property that Lin Fan obtained from the system.

At the same time, it was also the best school district in Jiangbei. There were lakes and parks around. Be it shopping, transportation, or medical care, everything was convenient here.

Staying here would allow Ah Mei to get the best educational resources and give Grandma a better living environment.

In addition, it could also give Lin Fan and Su Ningjing more space to be alone.

This was definitely a choice that killed two birds with one stone.

That night, Lin Fan did not stay in Washington Mansion. He drove his Mercedes-Benz to Coiling Dragon Villa alone.

The next day…

When a warm ray of sunlight shone onto the balcony, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes.

He first looked at his phone. There was a text message on the screen as usual.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,919,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]

It was a few hundred thousand more than usual. Obviously, this was the result of picking fruits and walking in the mountains yesterday.

Regarding this…

Lin Fan did not pay too much attention to it. He placed his attention on the check-in system.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,000,000 yuan.]

Lin Fan yawned and walked out slowly.

As soon as he opened the door, a fragrance that whetted one's appetite filled the air.

Lin Fan focused his gaze and saw that there were already lean meat noodles, eggs, milk, and other food on the dining table.

At this moment, Su Ningjing walked over from the kitchen with a plate of fried dumplings.

Lin Fan looked at her peaceful and gentle face and smiled, "When did you arrive? What about Grandma and Ah Mei?"

"They're shopping. I thought you probably haven't had breakfast yet, so I came over to make some for you."

Lin Fan nodded. "It smells so good! Have you eaten? Eat with me."

"Alright," Su Ningjing said.

This breakfast might not be as luxurious as the food served in the Michelin restaurant, but the taste was just as good.

Lin Fan finished all the food and was extremely satisfied.

He wiped his mouth and said, "I'm full. It's time to exercise.

"Last time in my hometown, we couldn't make too much of a commotion. It doesn't matter today."

As he spoke, he pulled Su Ningjing into his arms.

Su Ningjing blushed and said softly, "No, no, no. We can't take too long… Grandma and Sis are still waiting for us…"

o(ε*)

(*3)(ε*)

It was noon when they were done, and sweat dripped down their bodies.

Who knew it was such hard work?

….

About two hours later, Lin Fan and Su Ningjing slowly walked out of the villa.

"Oh right, Ningjing, do you have a driver's license?" Lin Fan asked.

"Yes, I do," Su Ningjing said. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝒏𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎

"Then go ahead and pick a car." Lin Fan pulled Su Ningjing's slender hand and walked toward a long row of cars parked in the distance.

These were the cars that the chairman had sent over after Lin Fan obtained 5% of Volkswagen Group's shares.

Volkswagen Group had more than ten brands, including Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche, Ducati, and so on.

At that time, the chairman of Volkswagen sent one car from each brand.

However, Lin Fan had only driven the Santana when he was doing a mission. He had never used any of the other cars.

"You can drive whichever car you like," Lin Fan said.

Su Ningjing looked at the long row of cars and was a little stunned.

She knew that Lin Fan was rich, but she did not expect him to have so many cars. There must be dozens of them, right?

There were so many cars. Could he drive all of them?

When Lin Fan saw that Su Ningjing had not chosen, he thought that she was a little embarrassed.

He pointed at the Lamborghini Urus in front of him and said, "This car has good horsepower and is spacious… It'll be easier for you to drive it, and it'll be more comfortable for Grandma and Sis to sit in. The trunk space is good, and you can store things in the future."

Many people felt that women should drive small cars. Whether it was driving or parking, it would be safer and simpler.

However, Lin Fan did not think that way.

As long as Su Ningjing drove a Lamborghini Urus, would anyone dare to hit her?

The other cars on the street would deliberately keep a distance from it.

As for the trouble of parking?

One had to know…

The entire building of Washington Mansion belonged to Lin Fan. There were hundreds of parking spaces. There were horizontal, vertical, and slanted ones. She could park however she wanted. Would it be troublesome?

318 Shopping; Asking for Help!

Su Ningjing was very kind and had a good relationship with her former colleagues.

At that time, she had just finished her driver's license examination. Her colleagues wanted to prevent her from forgetting how to drive, so they brought her along to familiarize herself with driving on the road for a period of time.

Today, under Lin Fan's guidance and after circling the Coiling Dragon Villa a few times, it was no longer a problem for her to drive alone.

Hence, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class while Su Ningjing drove the Lamborghini Urus. They headed toward Washington Palace at an equal speed.

When they opened the door, the familiar smell of food wafted out from inside.

Ah Mei jumped up and down. "Brother and Sis are back! We can eat now!"

Lin Fan and Su Ningjing had just exercised for two hours. They were really hungry. They picked up a bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

After lunch.

Lin Fan said, "Grandma, Sis, you just moved in. You still lack some clothes and daily necessities, right? Ningjing and I will bring you guys to buy some now, okay?"

"I already have daily necessities," the old lady said. "As for clothes, Ningjing knows my and Ah Mei's size, so we won't follow you guys."

Ah Mei seemed eager to go, but she looked at the tired old lady.

"We can just stay at home."

Regarding this…

Lin Fan did not force them. He wanted to take this opportunity to let Su Ningjing drive more alone.

After all, Su Ningjing had just started driving.

It was inevitable that she would be nervous if she were to directly drive Grandma and Ah Mei.

Thus, Lin Fan and Su Ningjing drove separately and arrived at KM Mall at a steady speed.

Although the clothes here were expensive, there were many styles suitable for men and women of all ages.

In addition, KM Mall belonged to Lin Fan. By visiting his own mall, it could be said that he was giving his tenants some benefits.

Since there was no need to try the clothes, he only needed to get them in the right sizes.

Therefore, it was very convenient to purchase them.

At the same time, 88 red packets appeared on Lin Fan's phone.

Luckily, KM Mall provided delivery services. Otherwise, Lin Fan really would not have been able to carry so many things.

When Lin Fan and Su Ningjing arrived at the underground carpark, Lin Fan suddenly remembered… His phone seemed to be in one of the shopping bags.

If it was something else, Lin Fan could choose not to take it now.

However, his phone was where he collected the daily red packets.

He naturally could not abandon it.

Wait for me in the car," he said to Su Ningjing. "I put my phone in one of the shopping bags."

"Alright," Su Ningjing said.

Then, Lin Fan took the elevator again.

Su Ningjing slowly walked toward the parking lot.

After a while, she saw her car…

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Beautiful lady, I'm sorry to disturb you."

When Su Ningjing heard the voice, she could not help but turn around to look.

The man in Eddie Bauer clothes was immediately attracted by Su Ningjing's side profile.

At this moment, when he saw Su Ningjing's face, his heart started to beat wildly.

Beautiful!

She was too beautiful!

Pure and beautiful!

This feeling… She was like a fairy who had descended from the sky.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Su Ningjing asked curiously.

She sounded good!

Even her voice was so pleasant!

He had to get her!

The man tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart. Then, he said in an embarrassed tone, "Uhh… I just spent one million yuan to buy a BMW X5. The technology is not very good. The front is a little narrow, and there are cars on both sides. Can you help me drive it out?"

As he spoke, he took out his car keys and pressed them gently.

Sure enough, the headlights of a brand-new BMW X5 flashed slightly.

He first pointed out that he had a million-dollar luxury car.

Then, he used a good attitude to ask Su Ningjing for help.

It was really easy to get help in this way.

The man had already made a plan in his heart.

He would use this as an excuse to add Su Ningjing on WeChat and treat her to a meal later…

In the man's heart, he had already begun to fantasize about holding hands with Su Ningjing and their future life together. An invisible smile appeared on his face.

However, before Su Ningjing could respond, footsteps could be heard from afar.

It was Lin Fan.

He grabbed Su Ningjing's slender waist with one hand.

Seeing this…

The man's pupils constricted slightly. Jealousy, hatred, and other complicated expressions flashed across his face.

It was not easy for him to meet a beauty. Why?!

However, immediately after…

His eyes shifted slightly again.

If they were just a couple, perhaps he still had a chance.

After all, he had a million-dollar luxury car!

Therefore, the man tried his best to put on a calm tone and asked, "And this is?"

"I'm her boyfriend," Lin Fan said.

Sure enough, it was just a casual relationship between a man and a woman. The man was slightly happy.

"You know my girlfriend?" Lin Fan asked again.

"We just met," Su Ningjing said.

Then, Su Ningjing roughly recounted their conversation.

How smart was Lin Fan? He instantly understood the other party's thoughts.

He pointed at the BMW X5 in front of him and said, "Is that the car?"

The man raised his head slightly and said, "Yes."

He looked extremely smug.

It was as if he was saying, 'That's my million-dollar luxury car!'

Lin Fan said, "Ningjing, he said that your car is making it difficult for him to drive out. In that case, drive your car out first."

"Alright," Su Ningjing replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, she took out the car keys to the Lamborghini Urus and pressed them gently.

Then, she opened the car door, got in, and drove out.

Seeing this…

The man was slightly stunned. "L-Lamborghini Urus…"

Obviously, he had some understanding of cars.

Lin Fan saw that the man was standing there without any intention of moving and said, "You still can't drive your car out?"

Hence, he opened the door of the Mercedes-Benz G beside his car and drove the car out.

"M-Mercedes-Benz G…" The man could not help but say again.

Lin Fan rolled down the window and asked, "How is it? Do you have enough space now? Do you want me to help drive your car out?"

The man's face instantly turned red.

He had bragged for a long time that he had a million-dollar luxury car, but what was the result?

In the end, this person owned a top-notch Mercedes-Benz G worth more than two million.

There was also the Lamborghini Urus which was worth more than three million.

The man only felt that he was a fool.

At this moment, he only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Therefore, the man did not answer Lin Fan. He lowered his head and walked into the BMW X5, stepping on the accelerator.

However, he accidentally knocked into a pillar in front of him.

After the man got out of the car, he looked at the broken headlights and the bent hood, his heart bleeding.

"I just bought this!"

319 Celebration; I'm Straight!

Seeing this…

Lin Fan only said, "Ningjing, did you see that? Don't panic when driving, or you'll crash."

"Alright." Su Ningjing nodded seriously.

Then, the two of them stepped on the accelerator and sped into the distance.

The man was left alone in the same spot, choking on the exhaust and coughing non-stop.

Not long after Lin Fan and Su Ningjing arrived at Washington Palace, the clothes and shoes that they had bought earlier were all sent over.

Lin Fan saw that the sky was gradually darkening. He did not stay in Washington Palace for long and returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa alone.

He sat on the soft sofa, took out his phone, and focused on the red packet.

"105 red packets? Let's see what I can get."

Obviously, these were the red packets he had received from buying clothes, shoes, and some expenses for the past few days.

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received eight yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,999 yuan.]

… be𝚍𝚗ove𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained a one yuan critical hit card.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 8,888 yuan.]

From the 102 red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 98,103 yuan and a one yuan critical hit card.

One had to know that a one yuan critical hit card could be used to obtain 100 million yuan immediately after spending one yuan.

In other words…

Lin Fan spent the past two days buying clothes, eating, flying, and so on. Not only did he not spend any money, but he even earned 100 million yuan.

Not bad.

At this moment, Lin Fan's phone rang.

It was his sister, Lin Xiaoyao.

"Brother, did you invent that super battery?" Lin Xiaoyao's anxious voice came from the phone.

Lin Fan thought to himself, 'So the news has already reached Lil Yao.'

"Yes," he replied.

"Then… Dahua Phone Group signed a 1.5 billion contract with you?" Lin Xiaoyao asked again.

"That's right," Lin Fan said.

"F*ck!" Lin Xiaoyao shouted excitedly,

Meanwhile, at Jiangbei University.

Zhao Ni walked briskly back to the dormitory.

When she saw Xia Bing and Xia Xue sitting at the table and reading seriously, she could not help but smile and greet them. "It's so late. Why are you still studying?"

As she spoke, she casually glanced at Xia Bing and Xia Xue's book.

Soon, Zhao Ni's face revealed a hint of doubt.

"4Li-4e=4Li? Is this a chemical reaction equation? Why are you guys reading a chemistry book?" Zhao Ni asked.

One had to know…

Xia Bing and Xia Xue were geniuses in the computer science department. They even won the Higher Education Cup last year.

Although many people said that a large part of the reason why they were able to win the Higher Education Cup was because of Lin Fan, this did not deny their superb computer skills.

Xia Bing and Xia Xue stuttered, "We're j-just l-l-looking."

Zhao Ni shrugged her shoulders and said, "Alright, this is probably the difference between the top students and us losers."

Then, she walked toward the bathroom.

Xia Bing and Xia Xue looked down at the title on the cover of the Science journal… Principles and Applications of Super Batteries.

Then, the two of them started to read it more attentively.

Last night, Lin Fan had reminded Su Ningjing not to come over to prepare breakfast.

Firstly, Lin Fan felt that it was too tiring for her to rush over so early in the morning.

Secondly, Lin Fan wanted to go to school today

The leaders of Jiangbei University had already said that they would give him the greatest freedom.

However, no matter what, he was still a student. It was not good for him to not go to school for a long time.

Hence, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class and ate breakfast at a high-end restaurant nearby. When he walked out of the restaurant, he bought a bottle of mineral water from a small supermarket nearby.

[Ding! You spent one yuan. Do you want to use the one yuan critical hit card?]

"Yes!"

[Ding! You've successfully used it. Congratulations on obtaining 100 million yuan.]

Instantly, Lin Fan's phone vibrated.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 100,000,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Then, Lin Fan drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward Jiangbei University.

He had not been to school for a few days, but there was not much change.

However, there was another banner in front of the gate congratulating him on his invention of the super battery.

When Lin Fan parked his car and walked toward the classroom, a deep voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Lin Fan, good morning!"

Lin Fan slowly turned around and said, "Good morning, Counselor Sun."

Sun Yaodong quickened his pace and hugged Lin Fan's arm, smiling, "Why are you being so polite to me?"

Lin Fan's lips twitched.

Polite?

'Did you not greet me first?

'I was just responding politely.'

Sun Yaodong praised, "Not bad, Lin Fan. You're really not bad!

"I told you that your ability was outstanding and that you'd definitely bring glory to our class. Unexpectedly, you even invented the super battery!"

Lin Fan's lips twitched once more.

He had outstanding ability and brought glory to the class…

'Counselor Sun, do you really only know how to praise people with these same words?'

"You invented the super battery and signed such a big contract. Do you want to celebrate?"

Celebrate?

Lin Fan really had not thought about it before.

In his eyes, 1.5 billion was nothing.

After all, his daily income was close to 20 million. After using the one yuan critical hit card today, he had an additional 100 million.

He also often obtained office buildings worth billions and company shares worth tens of billions.

If he had to celebrate every time, he would probably be constantly celebrating.

However, no one else knew about this.

Everyone knew about the contract worth 1.5 billion, though.

Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "We do have to celebrate. I don't think we have any classes this afternoon. After the morning class ends, I'll celebrate with the students. Counselor Sun, are you joining?"

"Is it appropriate for me to join?" Sun Yaodong asked hesitantly."

Lin Fan opened his mouth and was about to say that it was fine if he did not want to go.

However, Sun Yaodong immediately smiled and said, "Okay!" I'll come to the class after I arrange my work for the afternoon!"

Then, he patted Lin Fan's shoulder and walked into the office with his head held high.

Lin Fan could not help but reveal a strange look.

Why did it feel like… the counselor seemed to have specially come over to freeload?

Lin Fan shook his head and threw this small matter to the back of his mind. He went straight to class.

"Brother Lin Fan, you're finally here!" Song Yi said excitedly. "We thought that after you took 1.5 billion, you would drop out of school and go home to enjoy your life!"

When the surrounding students heard the figure of 1.5 billion, they all cast envious gazes.

Lin Fan smiled. "I originally wanted to drop out of school and go home to enjoy my life. But when I thought about how all of you cute classmates were still in school, I came back."

"Brother Lin Fan…"

Song Yi called out softly. He was so touched that he opened his arms as if he wanted to give Lin Fan a bear hug.

Lin Fan immediately said, "Stop! I'm straight!"

320 Suggestion; Go!

"Oh right, there are no classes in the afternoon, right? I want to bring the whole class out to celebrate my invention of the super battery and the signing of the 1.5 billion contract."

"What do you guys think?"

Originally, Song Yi was disappointed that he could not give Lin Fan a bear hug.

However, after hearing Lin Fan's words, he became excited again.

"Alright!"

Lin Fan asked, "Do you have any recommendations?"

"Barbecue skewers and beer!" Song Yi said.

Lin Fan then looked at Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong understood that he was asking for his opinion. He said, "…Hot pot?"

Sitting next to him, a round-faced man said, "I know a good barbecue restaurant!"

"Let's eat seafood!"

"Let's eat Sichuan cuisine and drink!"

Initially, it was only the students around Lin Fan who gave suggestions.

Soon, the other students in the class knew that Lin Fan was organizing a celebration in the afternoon.

Therefore, they all made suggestions.

Gradually, the entire classroom became extremely noisy.

At this moment, Zheng Jinbao, who had been silent all this while, said, "If you ask me, revisiting AC Clubhouse is the best idea! We can eat barbecue, hotpot, Sichuan cuisine, and drink alcohol there… We can even get a massage!"

As soon as he said this, the entire classroom suddenly fell silent.

Although the students did not voice out their agreement, Lin Fan understood that this silence was a tacit agreement.

"Alright, then we'll go to AC Clubhouse later!"

Ma Zhong shook his buttocks and said, "We… We're going to AC Clubhouse… Isn't that a bad idea?"

At this moment, a melodious bell rang throughout the campus.

The old professor slowly walked in and began his lullaby-like lecture again.

Today was even more difficult.

Many of the students looked listless. From time to time, they would pull out their phones and secretly check the time, silently calculating how long it was until class ended.

As the bell rang again, all the students seemed to have been revived and were in high spirits.

All the students surrounded Lin Fan and said, "Brother Lin Fan, are we leaving now?"

Lin Fan, who had been woken up by the ringing, nodded his head in a daze.

At this moment, Counselor Sun Yaodong walked in. He smiled and said, "Students, you're all still here. Have you planned where to celebrate?"

"AC Clubhouse," Lin Fan replied honestly.

Sun Yaodong's eyes lit up, but he said calmly, "AC Clubhouse? Alright, let's go, then."

All the students in the class were stunned.

Counselor Sun was joining them?

Although Sun Yaodong and the students usually shared a very harmonious relationship…

A teacher was a teacher…

Now, they were going to celebrate together?

Sun Yaodong saw that the students were not moving, so he asked, "Everyone, let's go. Why are you all standing there?"

Then, he said, "Oh right, Lin Fan, how should we go later?"

"The bus should have arrived at the school by now," Lin Fan said.

"Alright, then let's hurry over."

After saying that, Sun Yaodong took the lead.

The students looked at each other and followed behind.

Just as Lin Fan had said, a Mercedes-Benz bus had arrived at the parking lot.

Wang Shengli, the general manager of Flying Dragon Security Company, saw Lin Fan from afar and quickly came over to welcome him. He said respectfully, "Mr. Lin, this way, please."

After getting onto the bus, Sun Yaodong praised, "This is my first time riding a Mercedes-Benz bus. The configuration is indeed different!"

"Oh right, Lin Fan, when did you start researching chemistry?"

"I haven't studied it for long," Lin Fan said.

In fact, it was not just that he had not studied it for a long time.

He had only studied it for an hour.

Of course, Lin Fan could not say that.

Otherwise, would he not be treated as a monster?

"You invented the super battery after a short period of research and got 1.5 billion? You're too talented."

Wang Shengli, who was sitting at the front, felt his heart skip a beat.

Recently, he had been reading news about Lin Fan's invention of the super battery.

When Wang Shengli first saw the name 'Lin Fan', he immediately thought of his boss.

However, he did not dare to put the two together.

After all, in his impression, his boss was a godly tycoon who had a deep relationship with the supergiants such as Little Tanuki, Penguin, and Alphabet.

He probably did not have the energy to study batteries.

The result?

He was the one who invented it!

Not only was his boss rich, but he was also a scientist?

1.5 billion?

Sun Yaodong naturally did not pay attention to Wang Shengli's inner thoughts. He continued, "Lin Fan, are you going to join the Chemistry Department?"

When the students on the bus heard this, they all pricked up their ears.

They had always been proud of being classmates with Lin Fan.

If Lin Fan suddenly went to another department, it would be a pity.

Lin Fan said, "The Mathematics Department is good enough. Why would I go to the Chemistry Department?"

Sun Yaodong heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "That's right! Our Mathematics Department has always been very good!"

Jiangbei University was not far from AC Clubhouse.

After chatting for a while, they soon arrived at their destination.

When the two long-legged beauties saw such a large group of people, they said in a very sweet voice, "Welcome to AC Clubhouse."

Sun Yaodong looked at the thin clothes of the long-legged beauties and their snow-white long legs. He could not help but swallow his saliva and said, "Lin Fan, this place isn't shady, right?"

Lin Fan said, "Don't worry. This is a place for proper meals and massages. We've all been here before."

"Oh, that's good," Sun Yaodong said. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

However, Lin Fan could vaguely hear a hint of regret in his tone.

Was it an illusion?

Under the guidance of the beautiful attendants, everyone came to the banquet hall and sat down.

Not long after, abalone, king crab, Australian lobster, roasted suckling pig, top-grade steak, charred beef, small hot pot, bullfrog, sea urchin egg, spicy bullfrog… were all served.

Just as Zheng Jinbao said, there was seafood, barbecue, hotpot, Sichuan cuisine, and wine.

Everyone looked at the table full of delicious food and could not help but swallow their saliva.

At this time, Song Jiaxin picked up a bottle of wine and poured a glass. "Congratulations to Lin Fan for his invention of the super battery. Let us give you a toast!"

When Sun Yaodong and the other students heard this, they all raised their wine glasses.

"Lin Fan, congratulations on your invention of the super battery."

"Congratulations!"

Lin Fan also picked up his wine glass and said, "Thank you, everyone."

Then, everyone downed the wine in their glasses.

After a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the private room became even more heated.

321 Banquet; Invitation!

The students could not wait to break off the crab legs, pick up the abalone, and eat heartily.

During this time, they toasted Lin Fan individually.

After a full meal, some people chose to play board games, while others chose to taste desserts… More people followed the beautiful attendants to the massage area.

The place was shrouded in mist, and the water was flowing like a fairyland.

A long row of long-legged beauties in Hua Nation's traditional clothing was swaying their light figures in the mist.

When the students saw these beauties, their bodies went limp.

They really wanted to lie down and let the beauties massage them.

However, when they saw Sun Yaodong, they hesitated.

Sun Yaodong was the first to speak up, "This place looks very good! I say, what are you guys still standing there for? Quickly lie down!"

After saying that, he took the lead and lay down on the massage table in front of him.

A graceful beauty in Hua Nation's traditional clothing strolled over and stretched out her slender fingers to massage Sun Yaodong's body.

"It feels good!

"You can use a little more strength.

"A little further down.

"Ah!"

When the students saw Sun Yaodong enjoying it so much, they no longer hesitated. They all lay on the massage beds and closed their eyes to enjoy it.

In AC Clubhouse, there were food, drinks, and entertainment… Everything could be said to be available.

Everyone was so happy that they forgot about going home.

It was not until 10 PM that everyone reluctantly gathered and prepared to leave.

Lin Fan came to the front desk and said, "The bill."

"Hello, the total is 898,900 yuan."

There were a total of 36 people at this gathering, which meant that it was less than 30,000 yuan per pax. It was very affordable.

Lin Fan did not care about this bit of money at all. He took out his bank card.

As the bank card was swiped across the machine, a crisp sound was heard, and a brand-new receipt appeared.

At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! Do you want to use the food critical hit card?]

Lin Fan then remembered that he had obtained this card a long time ago but had not used it.

After pondering for a moment, he thought to himself, 'I'll use it.'

[Ding! The food critical hit card was used successfully. Congratulations, you've received 898,900,000 yuan.]

Then, the phone in Lin Fan's pocket vibrated.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 898,900,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan could not help but reveal a strange look.

At this moment, Ma Zhong sighed and said, "We spent 890,000 yuan just like that…"

Lin Fan smiled and patted Ma Zhong's shoulder. He really wanted to say, 'In fact, I didn't spend any money. On the contrary, I earned an extra 890 million.'

However, he considered that it would be difficult to explain himself if he said this.

Therefore, he did not say much.

Today, Lin Fan and the rest stayed in the dormitory to sleep.

After a day of fun, everyone slept very comfortably.

The next day, all the students were flushed and talked about yesterday's dinner from time to time.

In the past, when the students met Sun Yaodong, they would only greet him politely.

However, after the massage yesterday, they were even more casual after meeting each other today.

"Counselor Sun!"

"Hey!"

"Old Sun!"

Obviously, the students had completely regarded him as a friend of the same generation.

As the students chatted, the day's classes quickly ended.

At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan's pocket rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and realized that it was Ling Rou.

Seeing Ling Rou's name, Lin Fan could not help but recall the scene of the concert.

"How's work been recently? Is it hard?" Lin Fan answered the call and asked.

"It's not hard, because these are all things I've always wanted to do." Ling Rou said sweetly.

"Also, Director Wang and my manager, Sister Li, all take good care of me."

Lin Fan was satisfied. "That's good."

Ling Rou said, "Oh right, Lin Fan, we're having a banquet at the Grand Hyatt Hotel tonight at 7 PM. Are you free to come?"

Lin Fan smiled. "Of course."

"That's great," Ling Rou said happily.

The two of them chatted for a while before hanging up.

Lin Fan stayed in the dormitory for a while. Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, he drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Grand Hyatt Hotel was a four-star luxury hotel that had just opened in Jiangbei.

Although there was still a gap compared to the Imperial Hotel, it was still the best in Jiangbei.

At this moment, a long red carpet was laid out in front of the Grand Hyatt Hotel's main entrance. Coupled with the dazzling lights, the entire place looked gorgeous and colorful, like a dream.

Today, Ling Rou was wearing a white dress that reached her shoulders and a pair of crystal high heels. The moment she walked on the red carpet, she was like a fairy that had descended from the heavens. She was so dazzling that she attracted everyone's attention.

"So beautiful!"

"So beautiful!"

Praise and discussion could be heard.

In the hall… a bald man in a black suit also noticed Ling Rou.

His turbid eyes lit up slightly. Then, with a beer belly, he strode to Ling Rou.

"Hello, beautiful lady."

Before Ling Rou entered the entertainment industry, she had a certain understanding of the industry.

Moreover, she had been in the entertainment industry for some time now.

Ling Rou recognized him at a glance. He was the famous director in Hua Nation, Li Xiaofeng.

"Hello, Director Li."

"Oh? So you know me. This is really my honor!" Li Xiaofeng said happily.

After a pause, Li Xiaofeng continued, "Oh right, I've been preparing for a big production recently. I'm still lacking a large number of actors such as the first and second female lead… I see that your temperament is very good. I wonder if you're interested?"

"What kind of production is it?" Ling Rou asked hesitantly.

After all, she had only held one concert and filmed some music videos.

As for film and television, she had not really come into contact with them.

Li Xiaofeng smiled. "As for the specifics, it's best if we go to a private room and have a drink while we talk. This way, please."

As he spoke, he grabbed Ling Rou's arm.

He did not hesitate to do this even in public.

It was because even if he was photographed, he could still respond with courtesy.

Once they entered the room, they could do whatever they wanted.

Just thinking about what was going to happen next, Li Xiaofeng felt his heart burning.

At the same time, he believed that Ling Rou knew how to cooperate.

It was because this was the rule of the entertainment industry!

However…

Some things were often different from one's thoughts.

Ling Rou's body swayed slightly, and she dodged Li Xiaofeng's arm. She said in a disgusted tone, "Sorry, I'm not interested in big productions."

322 If You Want to Drink, Then Drink More; You Don't Need Help, Right?!

Ling Rou was not a three-year-old child. She naturally understood what Li Xiaofeng meant.

Instantly, she did not have a good impression of this pot-bellied old man.

She turned around and walked to the side.

Seeing this…

Li Xiaofeng's face darkened as he thought to himself, 'You didn't save me any face! I'll make you beg me obediently!'

As time passed, more and more people gathered in the banquet hall.

Most of them were famous singers and movie stars. They wore gorgeous gowns and were extremely glamorous.

In front of their fans, their different personalities—cold, lively, sunny, intelligent, and so on—came into view.

However, here…

They were all like ordinary people as they gathered in twos and threes, chatting with each other.

At this moment, someone shouted, "This year is a bumper year for our entertainment industry. It's only just started, but Huang Qiao's 'Blade in Spring' has already achieved remarkable results!"

"This is definitely a good start for us artistes. Therefore, I suggest that everyone cheers to Huang Qiao."

"No, no!" Huang Qiao hurriedly said.

"The reason why Blade in Spring could achieve such results is all thanks to Director Li Xiaofeng's advice!

"In addition, it can be said that the current achievements of our juniors are more or less due to Director Li Xiaofeng.

"Therefore, I feel that all of us should give Director Li Xiaofeng a toast."

As soon as he said this, many people echoed and raised their glasses.

"Huang Qiao, what are you trying to do?" Li Xiaofeng scolded. "I'm ashamed to accept your toasts!"

Although he was full of blame, he was laughing. His face was all wrinkled up. He was obviously thinking, 'Huang Qiao, well done!'

"Director Li, you're too modest." Huang Qiao understood the man.

Li Xiaofeng waved his hands repeatedly…

At this moment, he noticed Ling Rou, who was standing in the corner. He shifted his eyes and said, "If you ask me, the reason why our film and television entertainment industry can develop to its current state…

"Is entirely because we have an endless stream of outstanding young people joining us!

As he spoke, Li Xiaofeng picked up two tall glasses and poured filled one up with red wine while the other glass only had a little bit of red wine.

He handed a glass of red wine to Ling Rou and said, "Miss Ling has only recently entered the entertainment industry. Everyone, please give her more motivation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the glass with only a little red wine and drank it in one gulp.

Li Xiaofeng had already roughly understood Ling Rou's situation. He looked up her name and knew that she had held a large-scale concert in Jiangbei. There were even rumors that she had a very deep background.

However, regarding these… Li Xiaofeng did not care at all.

He had been in the entertainment industry for many years, and he had long treated the matter of having a deep background as a joke.

There were rumors that a certain celebrity's father was a high-ranking official, so no one felt that there could be any negative news about her.

There were rumors that a certain celebrity was a rich second-generation heir. If he did not do well in the entertainment industry, he would have to go back and inherit the family business.

In reality?

Those people were all very ordinary. If they really had such a deep background, why would they come to the entertainment industry?

This was also a kind of character setting.

Moreover, even if Ling Rou really had some background, so what?

Li Xiaofeng was even more confident in his background.

The banquet hall was filled with smart people. How could they not understand that Li Xiaofeng was deliberately messing with Ling Rou?

They did not look down on a man bullying a woman.

Instead, they joined in the jeering.

"Director Li personally toasted you!"

"You must drink it!"

"That's right!"

Li Xiaofeng saw that Ling Rou did not pick up the glass of wine for a long time. His face darkened slightly, and he said coldly, "This is a business drink. You have to drink it! You must drink it!"

Ling Rou looked at his ugly face and panicked. She could not help but take two steps back.

Just as she was lonely and helpless, not knowing what to do…

A loud voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Since you want to drink, then drink more!"

This voice was like a rocket that shot into the sky, dispelling all the fear and fear in Ling Rou's heart.

The person who spoke was Lin Fan!

He walked to Ling Rou's side and gently pulled her into his arms. "It's alright now."

"Mmh!" Ling Rou nodded vigorously.

Then, Lin Fan said, "Wang Shengli, let him drink until he's full!"

Coincidentally, the security company of the Grand Hyatt Hotel was Flying Dragon Security.

Today, Wang Shengli, the general manager of Flying Dragon Security Company, happened to be discussing something with the owner of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

When Wang Shengli met Lin Fan at the entrance, he followed behind him like a follower.

"Yes!" Wang Shengli replied.

Then, he waved his hand…

After a while, a large group of security guards quickly surrounded Li Xiaofeng.

"You…" Li Xiaofeng panicked. "What are you doing? I'm the famous director, Li Xiaofeng. My cousin is the boss of Xinle Film and Television…"

However, Wang Shengli turned a deaf ear and said, "Hold him down!"

How bad was it for security guards to bully a customer?

If people knew that a certain security company had done such a thing, the security company would probably not have any business in the future.

However, Wang Shengli did it without hesitation.

Wang Shengli pried open Li Xiaofeng's mouth with one hand and picked up a large bottle of red wine with the other, pouring it directly into his mouth.

Gulp, gulp!

Li Xiaofeng had no time to swallow the wine, and he could not stop coughing.

Regarding this…

Wang Shengli turned a blind eye and took another bottle. Eventually, they reached the third bottle… He kept pouring wine into Li Xiaofeng's mouth.

Plop!

Finally, Li Xiaofeng could not hold on any longer. His eyes rolled back, and his body went limp as he fell to the ground. He was completely unresponsive.

Lin Fan swept his cold gaze across the hall and said calmly, "Those who joined Li Xiaofeng in making a ruckus, drink two bottles as punishment! I hope you don't need my help."

Everyone who caught Lin Fan's gaze could not help but shiver.

Those who saw Li Xiaofeng's miserable appearance did not dare to hesitate at all. They picked up the red wine and quickly poured it into their mouths.

Gulp, gulp!

Gulp, gulp!

Everyone present often attended banquets, so they all had somewhat good alcohol tolerance.

However, drinking two bottles of red wine at once was still unbearable for them.

"Ugh!"

Soon, someone started to vomit.

Some of them took a few steps and staggered to the ground.

Regarding these people…

Lin Fan did not care about them. He held Ling Rou's slender hand and slowly walked out of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

323 Visit; Revenge!

Lin Fan brought Ling Rou to the Coiling Dragon Villa.

After not seeing each other for a while, the two of them seemed to have endless things to talk about.

They did not sleep for the entire night.

The next day, on the tender green branches, two little sparrows were flapping their wings happily and jumping back and forth.

Lin Fan opened his eyes slowly.

At this moment, there was no one else on the spacious bed.

When Lin Fan came to the living room, Ling Rou came out of the kitchen with a bowl of fragrant noodles.

When she saw Lin Fan, she smiled sweetly and said, "Are you hungry? Have some noodles first."

"Alright," said Lin Fan.

He did not stand on ceremony and stuffed the noodles into his mouth.

Su Ningjing's noodles were tasty.

However, Ling Rou's noodles smelled better.

Each bowl of noodles had its own characteristics, and they were both very delicious.

He quickly finished the big bowl of noodles.

Ling Rou looked at Lin Fan eating so happily, and her face was full of smiles.

At this moment, she seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh right, Lin Fan, President Wang from Xin Mei Entertainment said that he would like to visit you later."

Lin Fan said, "Alright then."

"Okay!" Ling Rou replied.

Not long after, the crisp sound of the doorbell rang out.

Ling Rou opened the door. It was Wang Haohua, President Wang of Xin Mei Entertainment, whom she had just mentioned.

Wang Haohua walked in nervously. He bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Hello," Lin Fan replied.

When Wang Haohua found out that Lin Fan had acquired Xin Mei Entertainment, his attitude toward Lin Fan was filled with respect. This was mainly because of money.

After he found out about what happened at the Grand Hyatt Hotel yesterday, he was even more afraid of Lin Fan.

One had to know…

Many celebrities and directors were still lying in the hospital, unable to move.

Lin Fan did not say anything. He just picked up his teacup and took a sip of the fragrant Spirit Tea. His entire body felt comfortable.

He was relaxed, but Wang Haohua was flustered and nervous. A thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

Ling Rou, who was beside him, also saw the change in Wang Haohua. She could not help but say, "President Wang usually takes good care of me. What happened yesterday should be an accident. It's all Li Xiaofeng's fault."

Lin Fan said, "Since Ling Rou has spoken up for you, I'll believe you for now. But I don't want something like this to happen again. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand!" Wang Haohua nodded. "I promise! Such a thing will never happen again in the future. I guarantee it!"

Lin Fan picked up his teacup and took another sip of tea. "Is there anything else?"

"There's nothing else. Mr. Lin, Ms. Ling, I'll be leaving first. Goodbye…" Wang Haohua said, relieved.

For the next two days, Lin Fan stayed with Ling Rou at the Coiling Dragon Villa.

After two days of recuperation, Ling Rou's mental state had improved a lot, and her complexion had become rosy and shiny.

On this day, after having breakfast with Lin Fan, she left the Coiling Dragon Villa and headed toward Xin Mei Entertainment.

After all, her dream career was there.

Lin Fan looked at Ling Rou's back as she left. His face turned cold as he called out, "Lil White!"

"I'm here, Master!" The watch on Lin Fan's wrist flickered and made a very clear sound.

"Collect the dirt on Li Xiaofeng as well as evidence of his misdeeds," Lin Fan said.

"Yes, Master!" Lil White said.

Obviously, Lin Fan had no intention of letting Li Xiaofeng off so easily.

At this moment, Li Xiaofeng arrived at Xinle Film and Television.

He always had a beer belly and a fat face.

Today, his steps were a little shaky, and his face was pale.

It was no wonder that he would be like this.

He was forced to drink so much at once that it directly led to alcohol poisoning. Fortunately, he was sent to the hospital and was out of danger.

After walking with difficulty for a while, Li Xiaofeng finally arrived at the president's office.

"Cousin, you must avenge me!" Li Xiaofeng wailed.

The bald man sitting inside said, "Xiaofeng, don't worry. I'll help you!

"Since he dares to touch our people, I definitely won't let him off! It's just that I haven't found out the identity of that man yet."

Xinle Film and Television had a very professional information department.

They were often able to dig up the private lives of certain celebrities at the first moment.

Ever since Li Xiaofeng's accident, the bald man had sent people to investigate Lin Fan.

However, even after two days, they found nothing.

This puzzled the bald man.

In fact…

This was very normal.

One had to know that Lin Fan was a great mathematician and scientist. He had made it clear that he would not accept any interviews, so the officials had been trying their best to seal his information.

In addition, Lin Fan was also a member of the Dragon Division.

It was also because of this that large companies such as Fruit Phone and Four Star Corporation could not find Lin Fan's contact information at all. 𝙗𝙚𝙙𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙤𝙧𝒈

At this moment, there was a series of hurried knocks on the door.

"Come in!" the bald man said.

Then, a man wearing silver-rimmed glasses rushed in with a tablet. As he was walking too fast, he accidentally fell to the ground.

"How many times have I told you not to panic?!" The bald man frowned.

The silver-rimmed glasses man quickly got up and said, "Yes, yes…"

"What is it?" the bald man asked.

"There's news about Director Li Xiaofeng," answered the man with silver-rimmed glasses."

"My news? What is it?" Li Xiaofeng asked, puzzled.

The man with silver-rimmed glasses hesitated for a moment before turning on his tablet and reading, "In May 2013, Li Xiaofeng became obsessed with Liu Yun. In June 2013, Li Xiaofeng took nude photos of a group of celebrities and forced them to shoot a movie for Xinle Film and Television…"

Li Xiaofeng's and the bald man's expressions changed drastically as they shouted, "Shut up!"

They all looked at the man with silver-rimmed glasses coldly.

One had to know…

These things were all hidden, but in the end, they were found out by outsiders!

They had to take measures!

The silver-rimmed glasses man was so frightened by the two of them that he could not help but take two steps back. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Originally, he thought that it was slander, but now it seemed… 'I'm afraid…'

"How do you know all this?" the bald man asked coldly.

The man with silver-rimmed glasses said, "It's… It's on the news… now… Weibo, Penguin, and Today's Headlines… The topics are all trending there…"

"What did you say?!" The bald man's pupils constricted.

324 Anger; Treat Me to Dinner!

The bald man hurriedly took out his phone and opened Weibo, Penguin News, and Today's Headlines…

In the next moment, sweat appeared on his forehead. His entire face was pale and extremely miserable.

The news was so detailed. It actually recorded the bad things that Li Xiaofeng had done over the years in such detail.

This… How was this possible?

It was over. Xinle Film and Television was over. He was over…

Li Xiaofeng saw that his cousin was holding his phone and not saying anything. He immediately had a bad feeling.

However, he still opened his mouth and asked, "C-Cousin… What's wrong?"

When the bald man heard Li Xiaofeng's voice, he suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

Although the bald man had not been able to find out all the information about Lin Fan, he knew that when Lin Fan held that concert for Ling Rou, he had used Penguin News, Today's Headlines, and UA Browser to promote the concert for a week.

Now, Penguin News, Today's Headlines, and Weibo… released the scandals about Li Xiaofeng and Xinle Film and Television.

Everything was so similar.

Clearly, this was Lin Fan's doing!

Li Xiaofeng!

It was all because of Li Xiaofeng!

If he had not offended Lin Fan, there would definitely be no problems for him and his company!

Thinking of this…

The fear in the bald man's heart turned into anger.

He clenched his fist and smashed it at Li Xiaofeng's face.

He kept punching and kicking.

"Cousin, Cousin, stop hitting me…" Li Xiaofeng wailed in pain.

"Please don't hit me…"

However, the bald man did not seem to hear him. He continued to punch and kick.

He wanted to vent all his anger on Li Xiaofeng.

The bald man was also tired of hitting him. He seemed to have thought of something and picked up his phone to press a number.

However…

At this moment, the office door was pushed open.

A group of investigators walked in with large strides and said, "You're under arrest!"

The bald man's phone fell to the ground, and he was extremely dejected.

Lil White quickly told Lin Fan about the situation.

Lin Fan was quite satisfied with this.

At this moment, Lin Fan's phone vibrated.

12:00 PM!

The red packets were here!

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received five yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 18,888 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained a food critical hit card.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 999 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained Tribute Garden Restaurant.]

This time, Lin Fan received a total of 54,889 yuan, a food critical hit card, and Tribute Garden Restaurant.]

He ignored the 54,889 yuan.

As for the food critical hit card, Lin Fan was more familiar with it. After eating, he could get 100 to 10,000 times the consumption amount.

Not long ago, Lin Fan had invited his classmates to AC Clubhouse to hang out and had used it to earn 890 million.

As for Tribute Garden Restaurant… Lin Fan had read about it on the internet. It was a two-star Michelin restaurant in the eastern district of Jiangbei. The dishes were delicious.

Many people even said that it had three Michelin stars.

In the past, Lin Fan had thought of going there for a meal.

However, because the distance was too far, he chose to give up.

He did not expect that the restaurant would actually belong to him now.

Lin Fan muttered, "At least it's not all cash. A food critical hit card, Tribute Garden Restaurant… My luck today is pretty good! Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll go to the restaurant to try the dishes there."

Lin Fan did as he said. He drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class toward Tribute Garden Restaurant, which was 50 kilometers away.

Even though Lin Fan had excellent driving skills, he still spent more than an hour to reach his destination due to the congested roads.

Xia Yan was a woman who loved delicious food.

After she finished her work in East Borough, she drove her Porsche Cayenne straight to the famous Tribute Garden Restaurant and found a table.

Xia Yan had a head of black hair, exquisite facial features, and a charming figure.

Soon, she attracted the attention of the people around her.

A man in his 30s, who was wearing a branded suit, took the initiative to walk over and said in a very gentlemanly tone, "Pretty lady, you seem to be alone. Do you mind if I sit beside you and treat you to a meal?"

Xia Yan had been in society for more than ten years. She could tell at a glance that under his gentlemanly appearance, he had a filthy mind…

Xia Yan's pretty face immediately revealed a look of disgust.

Just as she was about to speak, her beautiful eyes unexpectedly saw a familiar figure… It was Lin Fan!

At this moment, Lin Fan caught sight of Xia Yan.

Lin Fan had once thought that Xia Yan, Xia Xue, and Xia Bing might be family members through the smell of Xia Yan's perfume and her favorable impression of him.

Xia Bing's and Xia Xue's family members were his own family members!

Hence, Lin Fan strode forward and greeted, "Hello, Ms. Xia. What a coincidence."

From the conversation and interaction last time, Lin Fan knew that Xia Yan had been hiding her relationship with Xia Bing and Xia Xue.

That was why Lin Fan did not call her Sister Xia.

Besides, Lin Fan also felt that Xia Yan would not like this title. Moreover, it did not match Xia Yan's young and stunning appearance.

Xia Yan smiled and said, "Yes! What a coincidence!"

She had already planned to hit on Lin Fan the last time she watched the concert.

However, she had been a little busy with work in the company recently.

Therefore, she temporarily shelved the idea.

She did not expect to meet Lin Fan today.

Xia Yan looked at the man in the branded suit and then at Lin Fan. Her big black eyes shifted as she smiled. "Are you going to treat me to a meal again today?"

Lin Fan still remembered that he had treated Xia Yan to a meal at Star Restaurant to complete a mission.

Her words made sense.

Lin Fan smiled. "That's right. I wonder if Ms. Xia would do me the honor?"

After all, Xia Yan was a family member of Xia Bing and Xia Xue, which meant that she was also his own family member. There was nothing wrong with treating his relatives to a meal!

"Is that so? However, this man also wants to treat me to a meal."

The man in the branded suit quickly straightened his chest and said, "Ms. Xia, this restaurant's bird's nest, sea cucumber, premium caviar, tuna, and sea urchin… all taste very good."

As he spoke, he even deliberately raised his 200,000-yuan Dendon Traversing Four Seas watch.

"Moreover, the dishes are served very quickly here. It only takes ten minutes for us to taste these delicacies.

He deliberately mentioned a bunch of expensive dishes, and at the same time, revealed his watch… In what he thought was an unintentional move, he showed off his identity as a rich man.

325 Order; Don't Waste!

It had to be said that the man in the branded suit had a certain method of picking up women.

If it were someone else, they would probably be attracted by him.

Unfortunately… he was facing Xia Yan. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭

Xia Yan blinked her big black eyes and said, "Is that so? Now that you mention it, I'm getting a little greedy."

As she spoke, she deliberately swallowed her saliva.

After a pause, Xia Yan continued, "But both of you want to treat me to a meal. Who should I eat with?

"Hmm… You guys can order separately. I'll go to whichever table has the best food."

The man in the suit did not hesitate at all and said directly, "This is a good idea!"

From his point of view, Xia Yan and Lin Fan seemed to know each other.

However, they should not be too familiar.

Perhaps Lin Fan was one of Xia Yan's pursuers.

At this time, he should be generous and satisfy Xia Yan's wishes unconditionally.

That way, it would be easier to capture her heart.

The suited man did not even consider that Xia Yan was Lin Fan's admirer.

Tribute Garden Restaurant was a well-known restaurant in Jiangbei. It was packed with people every day.

The man in a suit waved his hand and shouted, "Waiter, I wish to order!"

Soon, a tall and thin waiter walked over.

"Snow toad, tiger-head fish, carved wave dragon, sea urchin with egg… I'll just order these for the time being."

The man in a suit ordered seven or eight dishes in a row, and the total price was more than 20,000 yuan.

Regardless of the appearance, taste, or price of these dishes, he believed that they would definitely attract Xia Yan.

After the man in the suit finished speaking, he did not forget to throw a provocative look at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had a weird look on his face.

This was his own restaurant, and he was competing with him in ordering dishes?

It seemed… interesting?

However, Lin Fan did not order immediately. Instead, he slowly flipped through the menu.

After all, this was his own restaurant. If he did not even know what delicious food his restaurant served, it would be a little inappropriate.

It had to be said that Tribute Garden Restaurant was very efficient.

After a while, the delicacies ordered by the man in a suit were served.

Just as he had expected, the food was high-end and fragrant. It was very tempting.

The man in the suit cleared his throat and was about to say something to Xia Yan.

At this moment, Lin Fan pointed at the man in the suit and said to the waiter beside him, "On top of what he just ordered, I wish to add rain tofu, boiled cabbage, top-grade bird's nest, and deep sea crab flower…"

The waiter quickly wrote it down and replied, "Okay, please wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The man in the suit opened his mouth but did not say anything immediately. He picked up the menu and started calculating the price of the dishes that Lin Fan added.

Rain tofu cost 1,800 yuan a serving, boiled cabbage cost 2,200 yuan a serving…

The dishes that Lin Fan added cost close to 20,000!

In addition to the 20,000 yuan worth of dishes he ordered, it was a total of 40,000 yuan!

The man in the suit hesitated for a while. Finally, he gritted his teeth.

However, his face remained calm as he said, "Waiter, bring me a serving of all the dishes he just added. In addition, I'll have the delicious top-grade abalone, the fragrant beef with potatoes, and the spicy eel…"

This time, he added another 10,000 yuan worth of dishes.

Although the man in the suit was indeed a little wealthy and indeed attracted to Xia Yan, spending 50,000 yuan for a meal still made him feel extremely pained.

Therefore, the man in a suit said in a gentlemanly tone, "Forget it, that's all… If he adds more dishes, the table won't be able to fit all of them. Moreover, he won't be able to finish them. It's a waste! Now, the country is trying to be more resourceful. We should follow the country's footsteps."

It had to be said that the man in a suit put it very well.

If Lin Fan continued to add dishes, then he would be labeled as a wastrel.

If Lin Fan did not add any more dishes, then there was no doubt that there would be more dishes on his side and the food would be even more delicious…

Xia Yan would eat with him.

How smart was Lin Fan?

He easily understood the meaning in the man's words, but he did not care.

Lin Fan looked at the menu a few more times before closing it again.

When the man in the suit saw this, a smug look appeared on his face.

He thought that Lin Fan had ordered too many dishes and could not afford to add any more.

The man in the suit looked at Lin Fan with disdain. Then, he smiled at Xia Yan.

He seemed to have already pictured Xia Yan eating with him. They would talk and laugh during the meal later.

At this moment, Lin Fan said, "Waiter, how many employees are here?"

The waiter was stunned for a moment. However, he had always believed that the customer was always right.

"About 100 people. What can I do for you?"

Lin Fan did some calculations in his heart and said, "There are a total of 101 dishes on this menu. How about this… Bring two servings of all the dishes on the menu… In addition, I'll get 20 bottles of Flying Maotai, 20 bottles of 2009 Chatea-Lafite, and a total of 50 bottles of various drinks."

The waiter was obviously stunned when he heard that.

In fact, not only was the waiter stunned, but Xia Yan and the man in the suit were also stunned.

That was 202 dishes. Even if the average price of each dish was only 1,000 yuan, it would still cost 200,000 yuan.

20 bottles of Flying Maotai. If each bottle cost 5,000 yuan, that would be 100,000 yuan.

20 bottles of 2009 Chatea-Lafite. Each bottle was about 20,000 yuan, so it was 400,000 yuan.

Even without the dishes that Lin Fan had ordered, it was already 700,000 yuan!

Xia Yan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

"Waiter, didn't you hear that?" the man in the suit said first. "Hurry up and serve the dishes according to this gentleman's instructions! Could it be that this is how Tribute Garden Restaurant provides services?"

He did not want to give Lin Fan a chance to go back on his words. He wanted to see Lin Fan make a fool of himself.

After a pause, the man in the suit continued, "By the way, this person and I… I don't have any relationship with him. I'm just a passerby. I just can't stand your service!"

He let it be known that he had no relationship with Lin Fan.

Otherwise, if Lin Fan suddenly said that he needed to go to the toilet later…

He might take the chance to slip away quietly. Before he slipped away, he might even say that his 'friend' would pay for it.

Would he not suffer a huge loss then?

Similar things often happened in TV shows.

The man in a suit was taking precautions.

The waiter only came back to his senses after hearing the man in a suit's words.

However, he still repeated, "This… Sir, are you ordering two servings of all the dishes on the menu, 20 bottles of Flying Maotai, 20 bottles of 2009 Chatea-Lafite, and a total of 50 bottles of various drinks?"

"Yes," Lin Fan said with certainty.

The waiter hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright…Alright, please wait a moment."

326 Who Is He? Our Boss!

After the waiter left, the atmosphere became a little dull.

Lin Fan remained calm.

On the other hand, the man in the suit was all smiles.

At this moment, a waiter served the dishes that the man in a suit had just added, filling the table.

The colors were gorgeous, and the fragrance assailed the nose… It whetted one's appetite.

The man in the suit took a deep breath and swallowed.

He resisted the urge to eat with his chopsticks and said in a gentlemanly tone, "This gentleman ordered more than 200 dishes. I think… it'll definitely take a long time to serve everything…"

At this point, the man in the suit could not help but laugh.

When he thought about the scene of more than 200 dishes being served and Lin Fan not being able to afford them, he was extremely happy.

After a while, the man in the suit suppressed his laughter and said, "Ms. Xia, come to my table to eat first."

There were indeed many materialistic women in this world.

However, even materialistic women mostly disliked fools and nouveau riche.

Therefore, the man in the suit felt that Xia Yan would definitely eat with him.

However…

All of this was just an assumption.

Xia Yan said, "Lin Fan ordered more than 200 delicious dishes and dozens of bottles of good wine. Of course, the dishes at his table are more delicious. I can just eat there."

The man in the suit opened his mouth and wanted to say something else…

At this moment, the waiter who had taken Lin Fan's order earlier brought a middle-aged man in a black suit who looked very calm and experienced. He walked over in large strides.

The waiter pointed at Lin Fan and said, "General Manager, this is the customer who ordered 202 dishes and dozens of bottles of wine."

The general manager looked in the direction the waiter was pointing at.

In the next moment…

His pupils shrank slightly.

Today, he suddenly found out that Tribute Garden Restaurant had a new boss.

When the general manager saw Lin Fan's photo, he was shocked.

He was too young!

The general manager had been thinking about it the entire day… When would he meet this young new boss?

He did not expect to see him in the blink of an eye.

The general manager ran to Lin Fan and bowed slightly. He said in an extremely respectful tone, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

Lin Fan raised his head and asked, "You are?"

"I'm Tu Zhiqiang, the general manager of Tribute Garden Restaurant."

Lin Fan nodded his head.

"Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry. I didn't know you were coming. Otherwise, I would have brought all the staff of Tribute Garden Restaurant to welcome you at the door."

Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "There's no need to do all that."

Tu Zhiqiang repeatedly nodded.

"I heard from the waiter that you ordered more than 200 dishes. Are you going to treat some guests to a meal? We have a luxurious private room upstairs. I'll arrange it for you now."

Lin Fan shook his head. "No need, this is fine. However, after the chef finishes cooking the dishes I ordered, you can stop serving customers. Then, let all the employees come over."

"Alright!" Tu Zhiqiang said.

The man in the suit was stunned when he heard their conversation.

Lin Fan…

How did this young man know the general manager of Tribute Garden Restaurant?

Seeing that Tu Zhiqiang was about to leave, the man in the suit could not help but say, "Who exactly is Mr. Lin?"

"He's the boss of our Tribute Garden Restaurant!" Tu Zhiqiang said.

Silence!

The entire area suddenly fell silent.

The man in the suit was completely dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Xia Yan's pretty face was filled with splendor.

She knew that Lin Fan had a supercar. Therefore, even if he ordered more than 200 dishes and dozens of bottles of good wine, Lin Fan would definitely have no problem paying for them.

However, Xia Yan had never thought that Tribute Garden Restaurant belonged to Lin Fan.

At this moment, Xia Yan could not help but recall how Lin Fan had asked about the number of employees before ordering the dishes. She had some understanding in her heart.

At this moment, exquisite dishes were served one after another, completely filling the surrounding ten tables.

On Lin Fan's table, there were only some dishes that he had ordered.

Then, the hundred employees of Tribute Garden Restaurant, including supervisors, waiters, cashiers, chefs, and so on, all put down what they were doing and came to the hall. They stood straight in front of Lin Fan like soldiers who were being inspected.

Lin Fan said, "Everyone, don't be so restrained. Just be casual. I know that it's very tiring for all of you to work here, so I'll treat everyone to a meal today to comfort you…

"Today, your job is to eat and drink well!"

When the employees heard this, their eyes lit up as they shouted, "Thank you, Boss!"

One had to know… all the delicious dishes of Tribute Garden Restaurant were placed here!

In addition, there were also bottles of Maotai and Lafite that were worth tens of thousands. These… They were all precious and good wines that they did not even dare to imagine.

They could enjoy everything today!

Then, the employees sat around the tables and ate heartily.

The atmosphere at the scene was very heated.

Lin Fan picked up a piece of food and put it into his mouth. He nodded and said, "The taste is indeed not bad… Ms. Xia, have some too."

"Alright!" Xia Yan replied with a smile.

The man in a suit sitting at the table next to them looked at Xia Yan and Lin Fan talking and laughing. He recalled his previous actions and wished he could find a hole to hide in.

He thought of getting up and leaving.

However, when the man in the suit saw that he had spent 50,000 yuan on a table of dishes, he forced himself to stay.

He picked up his chopsticks and stuffed the delicacies into his mouth.

He had to work hard to eat more so that the money he spent would be worth it.

He wolfed down the food, his mouth full of grease.

Compared to the man who was wolfing down the food, Lin Fan and Xia Yan were leisurely enjoying themselves.

After Lin Fan was full, he wiped his mouth and said to the man in the suit, "Now, the country is trying to be resourceful. We should follow in the footsteps of the country! We can't waste food!"

The man in the suit, who had been wolfing down his food, blushed when he heard this.

These were the words he had said to Lin Fan previously.

In the end, Lin Fan returned them to him.

Lin Fan did not bother with the man in the suit anymore. He turned to Tu Zhiqiang and said, "Get someone to calculate how much it costs."

As he spoke, he handed over a bank card.

"Mr. Lin, this…" Tu Zhiqiang hesitated.

After all, Lin Fan was the new boss of Tribute Garden Restaurant.

How could a boss treat his employees to a meal in his own restaurant and be charged money?

Lin Fan said, "I'm treating everyone to a meal. Of course, I'm paying for it! Moreover, everyone has invested time and energy in their work. If I can't even give you a small reward like this, then I, as the boss, am too unreasonable."

"Thank you, Boss!" Tu Zhiqiang said gratefully."

He swiped the bank card on the machine, and a long receipt appeared.

It was a total of 90,189 yuan.

Obviously, this was more than the money he had estimated earlier.

Lin Fan did not care about that at all.

At the same time, 90 red packets appeared on his phone, and a clear voice sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Do you want to use the food critical hit card?]

327 Coincidence; Rescue!

Lin Fan was not surprised by this notification at all.

He thought to himself, 'Yes!'

[Ding! The food critical hit card was successfully used, reaching 1,000 times the consumption amount. Congratulations, you've received 901,889,000 yuan.]

Another 1,000 times!

He spent 900,000 yuan to treat his employees to a meal and received 900 million yuan!

This deal was worth it!

Lin Fan then said to Tu Zhiqiang, "This month, everyone's bonus will be increased by 10,000 yuan." 𝙗𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒏𝙚𝙩

After all, the 900 million yuan was due to the employees' contributions. It was reasonable to reward them a little.

"Thank you, Boss!" All the employees shouted excitedly.

Lin Fan looked at the man in the suit who was still eating. Then, he walked out with Xia Yan.

Xia Yan was just about to say something to Lin Fan when the phone in her pocket rang.

"Alright…

"Alright, I'll come over now."

After hanging up, Xia Yan said to Lin Fan helplessly, "I wanted to have a drink with you, but it seems… we can only do it next time."

Lin Fan said, "There'll still be opportunities in the future."

"See you next time!" Xia Yan nodded.

After saying that, she got into the Porsche, stepped on the accelerator, and sped off into the distance.

Obviously, she had something urgent to attend to.

Lin Fan also got into the Mercedes-Benz and sped off into the distance.

When he reached a junction, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class suddenly turned off.

Lin Fan relied on inertia to stop the car by the side of the road and called for a tow truck.

Not long after the Mercedes-Benz G-Class was towed away, a crisp voice rang out not far away.

"Lin… Lin Fan?"

The next moment, his eyes lit up and he said, "Chen Xin!"

"It really is you!" Chen Xin said happily.

Then, Chen Xin took a step forward and jogged to Lin Fan.

"What a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here," Chen Xin said.

"Yeah, I didn't expect it either," Lin Fan said. "By the way, didn't you go to Peng City with your parents to start a business? Why are you in Jiangbei?"

In the first year of high school, in order to make the students not talk in class, the teacher adopted a method of letting girls and guys be deskmates.

Lin Fan and Chen Xin were assigned to be deskmates.

At that time, Lin Fan was tall and handsome.

Chen Xin was sweet and adorable.

Both parties had a good impression of each other.

They bought breakfast for each other, went to school together, left school together, and did homework together…

However, Chen Xin's parents had to go to Peng City to do business, so she transferred schools and left. The two of them did not do anything that a couple should do.

For a long time, Lin Fan regretted it.

At that time, Lin Fan's family was poor, and he didn't have a phone. The two of them lost contact just like that. However, they did not expect to meet again after so many years.

In Lin Fan's memory, Chen Xin had always been wearing a blue and white school uniform. She had her hair tied up in a ponytail, and her body was relatively thin.

Chen Xin was a budding flower back in school, and she was thought to become the most beautiful girl in the world in the future.

The present Chen Xin was a gorgeous flower that had completely bloomed, causing people to be mesmerized.

Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of True Sight to observe Chen Xin.

[Appearance: 96]

[Favorability: 80]

"The land price in Peng City has been too expensive these past few years," Chen Xin said. "My dad felt that it wasn't worth it, so he came back to Jiangbei.

"Are you based in Jiangbei?" she asked.

"For now," Lin Fan said. "I'm studying at Jiangbei University."

"Jiangbei University? Lin Fan, you're amazing!" As Chen Xin spoke, her beautiful eyes lit up.

Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, "What about you? Are you working in Jiangbei?"

"Yes, I'm a nurse at Central Hospital," Chen Xin said.

At this moment, on the sidewalk not far away, a man in his 30s fell to the ground.

The passersby could not help but let out a wave of discussions and screams.

"Someone fainted!"

"Ah!"

"Should I call an ambulance?"

The reason why Chen Xin became a nurse was definitely not to make a living.

It was because she loved this profession very much.

She felt a sense of pride and joy from the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, when she heard that someone had fainted, she did not bother to continue chatting with Lin Fan. She ran toward the fainted man and shouted, "I'm a nurse from Central Hospital."

The onlookers quickly made way for her.

"A nurse is here!"

"That's great."

Chen Xin first checked the man's pupils, then she placed her hand on the man's nose to feel his breathing.

She felt that the man's breathing was very weak.

Therefore, Chen Xin kept pressing on the man's chest with her hands to perform first aid.

Her movements were very standard. However, sometimes… It was not possible to successfully save someone just by relying on first aid.

The man's breathing became weaker and weaker, and his face was pale as if he would die at any moment.

The surrounding pedestrians also noticed this and began to discuss it.

"No, this man can't take it anymore."

"Is this woman a nurse or not?"

Rescuing was a very exhausting task.

Chen Xin continued to perform emergency treatment for a few minutes. Beads of sweat gradually seeped out of her snow-white skin.

She listened to the discussions of the people around her and felt the man's breathing getting weaker and weaker. She was physically and mentally exhausted.

A deep sense of powerlessness and self-denial filled his heart.

At this moment…

Lin Fan said, "Let me do it. I can save him."

Lin Fan's words were like a stream of spring water that washed over Chen Xin's dry heart.

As he spoke, Lin Fan spent ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system.

Then, he poured it into the man's mouth.

To the current Lin Fan, ten million yuan for a bottle of Medical Water was nothing.

Of course, he was not a good person who would immediately save someone when he saw them fall sick.

If that were the case, then no matter how much money Lin Fan had, it would not be enough to save everybody.

Lin Fan did it for Chen Xin. He wanted her to be happy.

After the man drank the medicine, his breathing became much more stable.

Then, his face gradually became rosy.

Seeing this…

The passersby around them shouted, "He seems to be fine now!"

"Yes, he looks much better!"

"There should be no problem."

As if to verify what the passersby said, the man lying on the ground slowly opened his eyes.

He seemed to be in a daze. He looked around blankly and got up to leave.

The passersby immediately shouted.

"Hey, someone saved you and you didn't even say thank you?"

"Where are your manners?!"

The man finally reacted and turned to Lin Fan and Chen Xin. "Thank you."

328 Watching a Movie Together; Secretly!

The man's hair was a little messy because of the fall.

However, the man did not care. After he finished speaking, he continued to walk into the distance.

When he walked into an alley, he took out his phone. After a moment of hesitation, he made a call.

"Is this Brother Zhang?"

"What is it?" A deep voice came from the phone.

"I want to sell my organs," the man with messy hair said.

"Oh? Who are you? Where did you get my number?" the deep voice said.

"I have cancer. I heard about you from a patient… I want to trade my body for some good days," the man said.

"Alright!" the deep voice said.

The surrounding pedestrians, Lin Fan, Chen Xin, and the others had no idea about the phone call between the man with the messy hair and the other man.

Seeing that there was no more fun to watch, the surrounding pedestrians scattered.

"Lin Fan, you know how to save people?" Chen Xin asked.

Lin Fan waved his hand and smiled. "It was just a coincidence."

"That was too close. I thought that man was going to die…" Chen Xin nodded.

Speaking of this, Chen Xin seemed to recall the scene of the man almost losing his ability to breathe, and her entire face turned slightly pale.

"I've only seen this happen in movies," Chen Xin said after a while. "I didn't expect to experience it personally."

Lin Fan nodded his head in agreement.

Chen Xin laughed and said, "When we were deskmates, we even said that we wanted to watch a movie together… In the end, even until I transferred schools, we still didn't manage to…"

After saying this, Chen Xin's pretty face revealed a hint of reminiscence.

It was as if she had returned to the carefree, youthful days when she had a ponytail.

Then, Chen Xin said with a tone full of anticipation, "Lin Fan, why don't we go watch a movie now?"

"Alright!" Lin Fan smiled.

As she spoke, she took out her car keys and pressed them lightly.

Not far away, the headlights of a red Mini Cooper flashed slightly.

Seeing this…

Lin Fan could not help but reveal a strange look.

Another Mini Cooper?

Why were all the women related to him driving Mini Coopers?

Not long after, the two of them arrived at Giant Screen Shadow City not far away.

Lin Fan and Chen Xin were not picky about which movie to watch.

Hence, they chose 'The Past Us', which would be playing in ten minutes.

The plot of this movie was relatively simple. However, it was basically a retelling of all the things that Lin Fan and Chen Xin should have experienced but did not.

The two of them watched it very seriously.

After the movie ended, Lin Fan and Chen Xin became even closer.

When the two of them walked out of the cinema, there was a sudden exclamation from the side.

"Chen Xin!"

A woman wearing a gray T-shirt and blue jeans walked over. She had an oval face and scored about 80 points in beauty.

"Zhimin!" Chen Xin turned around and said.

Zhang Zhimin first looked at Lin Fan and chuckled. "No wonder you didn't want to watch a movie with me. It turns out that you had a date with a handsome man."

Chen Xin's pretty face blushed as she said, "Uhh… Zhimin…"

"Alright, alright, I understand! I won't disturb your sweet time with this handsome man today. However, when there's a chance, you must treat me to a meal!" Zhang Zhimin smiled.

Then, she sighed and said, "It's a pity that those handsome men in our hospital are going to be heartbroken."

Zhang Zhimin did not wait for Chen Xin's explanation and strode away.

Chen Xin looked at Lin Fan shyly and stuttered, "She… She just loves to joke."

After a pause, Chen Xin continued, "The main character in the movie kept eating hotpot. I'm starting to crave it. There's a hotpot restaurant nearby. Let's go and eat together."

It was true that scenes of the characters eating hotpot appeared a lot in the movie.

Lin Fan was also craving it.

He smiled and said, "I want to eat hotpot too. Let's go."

Chen Xin's face immediately broke into a smile.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at a hotpot restaurant called Haoyu.

They had just walked to the door when they were greeted by a fragrant and spicy smell.

They looked inside and saw that most of the tables were filled with people. Everyone was eating and chatting very comfortably.

After Lin Fan and Chen Xin sat down, they ordered some prawn rolls, beef rolls, and mutton rolls.

As the spicy broth boiled, the two of them ate until their foreheads were covered in sweat, and the atmosphere became even more heated.

They began to tell stories about their high school, complaining about their high school teachers and classmates. They also chatted about each other's experiences… They would laugh from time to time, looking extremely happy.

The two of them ate for a long time. When the sky turned completely dark, their meal slowly ended. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Lin Fan and Chen Xin walked along the winding street. Their shadows were long and long under the light.

At this moment, it was as if they had returned to their high school days.

At this moment, the man with the messy hair was blindfolded. He got into a van and arrived at a dilapidated factory.

When he took off his blindfold, he saw many fierce men standing around him.

The man with the messy hair was flustered and could not help but swallow his saliva.

The man with stubble who sat in front said, "What's your name?"

The man with messy hair recognized that this was Brother Zhang, whom he had just called.

"Yu… Yu Huan."

Brother Zhang said, "You have cancer and you want to sell your organs?"

"Yes," the man said.

"But do you know this? After getting cancer, your internal organs have all changed! Are you trying to make fun of me?" Brother Zhang shouted.

A group of fierce-looking men walked toward the man with messy hair.

It looked as if they wanted to cut him into pieces immediately.

The man with the messy hair was so frightened that his entire body trembled. He stuttered, "I… I didn't know. I just want to live a more relaxed life…"

Brother Zhang pondered for a moment and said in a clear voice, "Although your internal organs are affected, your corneas can still be used!"

As soon as he said that, the surrounding fiendish people stopped in their tracks.

The man with messy hair also heaved a sigh of relief.

This was just Brother Zhang's method of probing.

After all, this was a very dangerous line of work. If they were not careful, they would end up in jail.

The performance of the man with messy hair just now clearly showed that he had passed Brother Zhang's test.

"How much money can I get?" the man asked.

"50,000!" Brother Zhang said.

"Alright!" the man gritted his teeth and said.

Brother Zhang said, "First, we'll draw a tube of blood from you. Then, you'll be given a 20,000 yuan deposit. Within three months, we'll come and collect the items and pay you the rest of the money."

As he spoke, he took out two stacks of red banknotes.

329 Gathering; Very Familiar!

The next day.

Chen Xin arrived at Jiangbei Central Hospital in a pure white nurse uniform.

From the moment she walked into the hospital, she did not even have the time to greet her colleagues. She checked the wards, gave an infusion, and made calls…

This only stopped when it was time for her to change shifts.

Although she was tired, Chen Xin felt very fulfilled and proud.

The tall and thin nurse who was on the same shift as Chen Xin asked, "How about we hang out tonight?"

"Alright!" Zhang Zhimin said.

The male doctor wearing silver-rimmed glasses asked, "Chen Xin, do you want to go?"

Before Chen Xin could reply, Zhang Zhimin giggled and said, "Xin Xin, are you going on a date with that handsome guy today?"

Chen Xin's pretty face turned red.

When the tall and thin nurse heard this, her urge to gossip burned within her.

"What handsome guy? Xin Xin, tell me. I don't know anything about this yet."

Chen Xin said, "…Actually, he was my high school deskmate."

"Heavens! Is this the real-life version of those romance movies?" the tall and thin nurse shouted with excitement.

Zhang Zhimin obviously did not expect Lin Fan to be Chen Xin's high school deskmate. She also revealed a look of excitement.

They were excited, but the doctor wearing silver-rimmed glasses beside them had a very ugly expression.

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses had always liked Chen Xin.

It was because of this that he used his connections to transfer to Chen Xin's department. He also kept his schedule consistent with Chen Xin's.

He just wanted to be close to her.

However, what was the result?

In the end, Chen Xin was actually won over by someone else!?

How could this not anger the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses?

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses took two deep breaths and tried his best to calm himself down before saying, "Let's hang out together today and relax. Chen Xin, ask your high school deskmate to come over too. That way, we can meet him. What do you think?"

"Alright!"

"I agree!"

The two nurses and the round-faced doctor agreed.

Chen Xin said, "But… He's really just my high school deskmate."

"Alright, alright, we know. It's still fine to have a meal together," Nurse Zhang Zhimin said.

Chen Xin had no choice but to send a message to Lin Fan.

Chen Xin asked: [Can you come to Central Hospital later and have a meal with me and my friends?]

At this moment, Lin Fan was lying on the sofa in the Coiling Dragon Villa.

When he saw the message on his phone, his fingers moved quickly as he replied.

Lin Fan replied: [Alright, I'll be right there.]

After all, it was already lunchtime.

Moreover, he enjoyed the meal yesterday.

The Mercedes-Benz G was still undergoing maintenance work.

Hence, Lin Fan got into the Lamborghini and stepped on the accelerator. The exhaust pipe immediately spewed out a wisp of smoke. The entire car was like a roaring beast as it sped forward.

About 20 minutes later, he parked the car in the parking lot of Jiangbei Central Hospital.

At this moment, Chen Xin happened to come downstairs and called out, "Lin Fan!"

As she spoke, she jogged to Lin Fan.

"He's really handsome!" The tall and thin nurse behind praised. "Xin Xin, you have good taste!"

"My colleagues said that they want to have a gathering…" Chen Xin explained. "They kept asking me to call you over. I'm not wasting your time, am I?"

Lin Fan laughed and said, "How could it be? Moreover, it's more lively with more people eating together."

A smile appeared on Chen Xin's face.

"Why are you standing here?" Zhang Zhimin asked. "Let's go to the restaurant and chat while eating."

"Yes, yes!" the tall and thin nurse said.

Then, Chen Xin took out her car keys and pressed them lightly. The Mini Cooper's headlights flashed slightly not far away.

"Lin Fan, let's go. My car is over there!" Chen Xin said.

Initially, Lin Fan wanted to drive his Lamborghini.

However, after hearing Chen Xin's words, he followed her and walked toward the Mini Cooper.

It did not matter if he did not drive the Lamborghini.

When the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses saw this, he thought to himself, 'Lin Fan doesn't have a car?'

He first looked at Lin Fan with disdain.

Then, his eyes moved slightly as if he was planning something.

"Doctor Liu, I'm afraid we can't ride in Xin Xin's car. Do you mind if we ride in your BMW 530?"

"Of course not," the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said.

Before long, the group arrived at the entrance of a restaurant called Rolling Restaurant.

Before they could enter, they heard loud noises.

Looking inside, almost all the tables were filled with people. Business was booming.

When the waiter saw Lin Fan and the others, he quickly came over and asked, "How many of you are there?"

"Six!" Zhang Zhimin said.

The waiter brought them to a six-seater table in the middle.

After the few of them ordered, the tall and thin nurse said, "Xin Xin, you haven't even married him yet and you're already helping your handsome boyfriend save money? I thought we were going to eat abalone and lobster today."

"Lin Fan is my high school deskmate," Chen Xin said shyly. "I'm paying for this meal today."

"Yes, yes, he's your high school deskmate."

"Lin Fan, are you also in the medical field?" asked the round-faced doctor.

"No, I'm still studying at Jiangbei University," Lin Fan said.

"Not bad, not bad! A student from Jiangbei University!" the tall and thin nurse said.

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses looked at Lin Fan with even more disdain.

After all this time, he was still a student.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many ordinary people, being able to get into Jiangbei University was a very impressive thing.

However, in the eyes of the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses, it was nothing.

How many graduates from famous universities spent money to become interns under him?

Even if they worked themselves to death every day, these interns still did not manage to stay.

"Oh, right. I remember that Dr. Liu graduated from Jiangbei University as well, right?" asked the tall and thin nurse."

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses puffed out his chest and said, "Yes, I did!"

Then, he said in the tone of an elder, "Lin Fan, is there a teacher called Feng Weijian in your school?"

Lin Fan and Feng Weijian had seen each other several times. Most people would remember someone after seeing them so many times.

Furthermore, Lin Fan had a photographic memory.

"Yes, he's the vice-chancellor of our school."

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses sighed. "I didn't expect him to be the vice-chancellor already… I remember that he was just the director of the school at that time…"

At this point, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses had a look of reminiscence on his face.

"Dr. Liu, are you very familiar with Vice-Chancellor Feng?" the tall and thin nurse asked."

"That's right! At that time, I was the president of the student union. I had a very good relationship with him… Ever since I graduated, he often sent me messages to ask about my recent situation," the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said.

330 Singing; Young People Should Go on Stage More Often!

The tall and thin nurse, the round-faced doctor, and Zhang Zhimin all gave him a thumbs-up and exclaimed in admiration.

"Dr. Liu, you're amazing?!"

"I can't believe you're so close to the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University!"

"I've never seen the chancellor of my school."

"Dr. Liu, you have to ask the vice-chancellor to take care of Lin Fan."

… be𝚍𝚗ove𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

When the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses heard everyone's praise, he felt a little smug.

He clasped his hands behind his back and raised his head. "Since we know each other now… Lin Fan, I'll talk to Vice-Chancellor Feng about you later."

As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at Chen Xin.

It was as if he was saying, 'Chen Xin, I'm familiar with the vice-chancellor. That's how amazing I am!'

At this moment, a crisp sound came from the stage.

"Welcome to Rolling Restaurant. Today, we've prepared a singing performance for everyone! Anyone who can score above 90 points on stage will receive a 2,000 yuan voucher. Everyone is welcome to sing on stage!

"Here, I'll sing a song for everyone to get things started."

As soon as the person finished speaking, a burst of light music sounded from the restaurant.

The host slowly opened his mouth and sang a cheerful song.

After the song ended, two numbers appeared on the big screen behind him—85!

The venue immediately erupted into extremely enthusiastic applause.

The tall and thin nurse said, "If you sing, you'll have a chance to get a 2,000-yuan voucher. Dr. Liu, you're a talent in our hospital. Hurry up and sing a song!"

"Yes, yes!" the round-faced doctor said.

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses did not expect that there would be a singing event with a voucher as a prize today.

Just as the tall and thin nurse and the round-faced doctor said, he was indeed a person with talents and was often proud of it.

During this period of time, he had been looking forward to the hospital holding a cultural gala.

When the time came, he would definitely sign up to sing on stage.

Unfortunately… the hospital was too busy, and there were not many opportunities to hold cultural galas.

Unexpectedly, he could sing in front of Chen Xin today!

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses could already see Chen Xin's infatuated expression after hearing his singing.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

Hence, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said, "Since you've put it that way, I'll go up and sing. However, I hope you won't laugh at me if I don't sing well!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-rimmed glasses doctor strode up to the stage.

"God said that in my previous life, I had to look back 300 times in exchange for a chance encounter in this life. Today, we're able to meet each other, and I'm standing here singing for everyone. This shows that we had a great relationship in our previous life, and we have a great fate in this life…"

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses did not sing. Instead, he started to talk about what he thought was philosophical.

With this, he thought that he would be able to raise his status.

At the same time, he secretly expressed to Chen Xin the fate between them.

He believed that he had planted a seed in Chen Xin's heart.

As long as he finished singing later, he would definitely be able to let this seed gradually take root, germinate, and grow healthily.

After a while, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said, "Next up, I'll be singing a song called 'Fate'. I hope everyone will like it."

The music started…

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses closed his eyes and opened his mouth.

"Even if there was no agreement in our previous life, we've been waiting foolishly in this life.

"Is it fate to be together in the vast sea of people? Why not let bygones be bygones…"

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses deliberately dragged out his tone, and his voice sounded cadenced to emphasize his own voice.

He felt that this would make him look more affectionate and attract Chen Xin's attention.

"Only two people who love each other and know each other can help each other through this life."

After the last line of the lyrics was sung, the music stopped.

Then, the big screen behind him showed the score—78!

He was quite satisfied with this score.

However, when he returned to his seat, he sighed and said, "Look… You wanted me to go up and sing. Now I've made a fool of myself, haven't I?"

"You call this making a fool?" the tall and thin nurse asked. "Dr. Liu, you sang very well! All of our hands were swollen from clapping! In fact, I think you almost sounded the same as the original singer!"

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses waved his hand and said, "Don't flatter me. How can I compare to the original singer? My score is only 78 points."

He looked ashamed on the surface, but he was so happy that he could not control himself.

Everyone's hands were swollen?

Did this not mean that Chen Xin was also clapping hard for him?

As expected, his singing was very charming!

If he had done this a little earlier… Perhaps Chen Xin would…

However, someone else had taken the lead!

Even so…

He still had a chance!

Thinking of this, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses shifted his eyes and smiled. "If you ask me, students are the best at singing."

Then, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses looked refreshed and said, "Oh right, Lin Fan, aren't you a student? Why don't you go on stage and sing? Maybe you can get more than 90 points and win a 2,000-yuan voucher. In that case, we can have this meal for free!"

He thought he had just sung a beautiful song.

As long as Lin Fan went up to sing, both their performances would definitely be able to form a stark contrast in Chen Xin's heart.

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses thought that his words and performance on stage earlier had planted a seed in Chen Xin's heart.

If Lin Fan were to sing on stage, it would water and fertilize the seed, speeding up the seed's sprouting and growth!

The tall and thin nurse followed up, saying, "That's right, Lin Fan. Hurry up and go up on the stage to sing. It doesn't cost anything anyway."

"This is a good opportunity!" the round-faced doctor said.

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses saw that Lin Fan was sitting there without moving.

Thus, he used the tone of an elder again and said, "Lin Fan, young people should go on stage more often. Don't be afraid and don't be shy.

"When I was the president of the student council at Jiangbei University, I often spoke on stage and slowly trained myself."

When the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said this, a hint of reminiscence appeared on his face.

He looked as if he had returned to his university days.

At this moment, Lin Fan said, "Alright, I'll go up and sing."

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses acted like an elder. He placed his hands behind his back and nodded slightly. He sneered in his heart. A young man was indeed a young man. He was fooled by a few words.

In reality?

No matter how much he said, Lin Fan would not care.

Lin Fan only agreed because he saw… the look of anticipation on Chen Xin's pretty face.

331 Lifting a Stone and Smashing It at His Own Foot!

After hearing that Lin Fan had agreed to go on stage to sing, the tall and thin nurse, the round-faced doctor, and Zhang Zhimin were all very happy.

Chen Xin's beautiful eyes seemed to be flickering with light.

Under everyone's anticipation, Lin Fan slowly walked onto the stage.

Unlike the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses, he did not say a lot of nonsense after he went on stage.

Instead, he picked up the microphone and said, "The song I'm going to sing is called Galaxy."

"It's Galaxy! This is the most popular song recently!" the tall and thin nurse said.

"I really like this song!" Zhang Zhimin said.

Chen Xin's pretty face was filled with anticipation.

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses sneered in his heart.

He had to admit that Galaxy was really good and had been very popular recently.

However, this song had a fast tempo, and some parts of the song had a lot of ups and downs. That was what gave the song its unique charm. All in all, it was very difficult to sing.

Moreover, this song was only released less than a month ago.

This meant that Lin Fan did not have much time to learn this song.

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses could almost imagine how terrible Lin Fan's singing would be later and how disappointed Chen Xin would be…

As he thought of this, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses could not help but smile.

However, how would he know that this song was written by Lin Fan? Why would he need to learn how to sing it?

Of course, even if he really needed to learn how to sing it, Lin Fan could do it easily. He would have no problems learning a song that was released a day ago, let alone a song that was less than a month old.

One had to know… Lin Fan had Heavenly Voice and photographic memory.

At this moment, music started playing.

Lin Fan opened his mouth as well.

"It was a clear, cloudless night, and a full moon hung in the sky.

"Her long clothes are dancing in the wind. She's as soft as feathers, as light as a swan, and as fair as jade…"

The entire restaurant fell silent!

Originally, there were still many people eating, drinking, and chatting…

At this moment, everyone suddenly stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to the stage.

The tall and thin nurse, Zhang Zhimin, the round-faced doctor, and the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses were all completely stunned.

Chen Xin's beautiful eyes sparkled even brighter. She was completely immersed in Lin Fan's singing, unable to extricate herself.

At this moment, in Chen Xin's eyes, Lin Fan was riding on a golden longsword and carrying her up into the heavens where they roamed the universe… Everything was so fascinating.

"In the end, I split apart the chaos and the universe with a single sword strike!"

The song ended.

The music stopped.

The entire restaurant was still very quiet.

After a while, thunderous applause suddenly sounded.

"It sounded so good!"

"It was so good!"

"I used to be a fan of Ling Rou. Now, I'm a fan of this guy!"

"Look at the score… Heavens, 100 points!" 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

"This is too amazing!"

"Hey, sing another song!"

"Please, handsome! Sing another song!"

However, Lin Fan did not care and walked off the stage.

"Ah! I was so engrossed in listening that I forgot to take a video!" a short girl said regretfully.

"Hehe, I recorded it. I'll upload it to Weishi later. You can just watch it directly there," the tall boy beside her said.

"That's great!" the short girl said in surprise. "Quickly upload it!"

The tall boy turned on his Weishi app, but he was soon stunned.

"That's strange. Where's the video I took?"

In fact, it was not just the tall boy who was puzzled. Many people in Rolling Restaurant had the same doubts.

That was because all the videos they had taken had all disappeared.

This was normal…

One had to know that Lin Fan did not like to show his face. How could he let these videos leak out?

"Lil White, have you deleted all the videos?"

The watch on his wrist flashed slightly.

When Lin Fan returned to his seat, Zhang Zhimin was like a little fangirl, shouting excitedly, "Lin Fan, your singing is so good!"

"I've never heard anyone sing so well!" the tall and thin nurse called out.

"Lin Fan, I didn't know you could sing so well," Chen Xin also said.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Dr. Liu asked me to give it a try, so I went to sing a song. Who knew that I would get 100 points so easily?"

When the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses heard this, his face turned extremely ugly.

Yes, he was the one who asked the kid to give it a try.

However, he wanted to form a sharp contrast between Lin Fan and himself so that Chen Xin would be disappointed in Lin Fan!

What was the situation now?

It was the complete opposite!

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses felt like he had lifted a rock and smashed it in his own foot.

It hurt!

"Yeah!" the tall and thin nurse said. "100 points! Does that mean we can get a 2,000-yuan coupon?"

At this moment, the host walked over and said, "Hello, sir. Your performance just now was graded 100 points. This is your prize."

As he spoke, he handed over ten 200-yuan coupons.

Lin Fan waved the vouchers in his hand and said, "Looks like… I'll be treating you guys to this meal."

"Lin Fan, what a coincidence. I actually met you here and even heard you sing such a nice song!" A familiar voice sounded behind everyone.

When Lin Fan heard it, he turned around.

When he saw who it was, his face immediately revealed a touch of surprise.

The man was none other than Feng Weijian, the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University.

"I was just singing casually."

"Singing casually? Just like how you solve difficult problems?" Feng Weijian laughed.

He was joking.

However, he did not know that it was the truth.

Lin Fan glanced at the silver-rimmed glasses doctor who had been standing at the side and said, "Dr. Liu, didn't you just say that Vice-Chancellor Feng often checks in on you? Now that he's here in person, you can talk to him face-to-face."

"…Talk face-to-face?" The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses was stunned.

"Who is this?" Feng Weijian asked in confusion.

"Oh, he's Dr. Liu from Jiangbei Central Hospital. He said that he used to be the student union president at Jiangbei University. When you were the director, he was very close to you. You often sent messages to check in on him even after he graduated… He was just about to mention me to you," Lin Fan said.

Feng Weijian was a smart man.

He could easily tell that Lin Fan had a conflict with this Dr. Liu.

Who was Lin Fan?

He was a mathematician and a great scientist who solved several global mathematical problems, invented the earthquake prediction device, and invented the super battery!

Lin Fan was Jiangbei University's biggest treasure!

It could be said that Jiangbei University could lose Feng Weijian, but they could never lose Lin Fan.

If someone provoked Lin Fan, Feng Weijian naturally would not hold back.

He glanced coldly at the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses and said, "Oh? I have a good relationship with you? May I know your name?"

332 Who's Your Counselor? Return!

When the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses saw Feng Weijian for the first time, he felt a sense of familiarity.

However, he did not associate Feng Weijian with the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University.

He did not even know Feng Weijian…

Obviously, what the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses said about having a good relationship with the vice-chancellor was just a joke.

In fact…

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses had only met Feng Weijian twice before. Not long ago, he accidentally learned that Feng Weijian had become the vice-chancellor.

When he heard that Lin Fan was a student at Jiangbei University, the doctor with silver-rimmed glasses made up such a story in order to establish his superior status.

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses thought that the few people present could not verify his statement at all.

However, he did not expect Feng Weijian to be in Rolling Restaurant.

More importantly, Feng Weijian was actually very close to Lin Fan!

This…

Could it be such a coincidence?

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses opened his mouth but did not say anything.

"What?" Feng Weijian frowned.

"Do you think I'm not Feng Weijian, the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University and so you don't want to tell me your name?"

As he spoke, Feng Weijian began to rummage through the briefcase in his hand.

The doctor with silver-rimmed glasses quickly said, "No… No, my name is Liu Yonghao…"

Even though he said his name, Feng Weijian still took out his work pass and slammed it on the table.

There was a line of bold words that read—Feng Weijian, vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University.

"Oh?" Feng Weijian finally reacted. "Liu Yonghao? Which batch are you from? Who was your counselor?"

"I'm from the 11th batch, and my counselor was Zheng Xianghong," said Liu Yonghao honestly.

"A student of Xianghong's?" Feng Weijian nodded thoughtfully. He took out his phone and dialed a number, then pressed the speaker button.

"Hello, Vice-Chancellor Feng. Is there anything I can help you with?" A magnetic voice came from the phone.

"Xianghong, I want to ask you something…" Feng Weijian said. "Is there a student called Liu Yonghao from your 11th batch?"

"Liu Yonghao? Oh, there is such a student," Zheng Xianghong said after thinking for a moment.

"Was he the president of the student council before this?" Feng Weijian said.

"No!" Zheng Xianghong said straightforwardly.

"You remember it so clearly?" Feng Weijian said.

"When you said his name, I only had a slight impression of him…" Zheng Xianghong explained.

"But after thinking about it, I remember that he used to be a discipline committee member of the class. In the end, he got into a fight with someone and was punished for it.

"How can he be the president of the student council after being punished?"

"I see," Feng Weijian said." I understand, Xianghong. Thank you."

"It's just a small matter. Vice-Chancellor Feng, you're too polite," said Zheng Xianghong.

After hanging up the phone, Feng Weijian looked at Liu Yonghao indifferently.

How could he not know that Liu Yonghao had been bragging all along?

If it were under normal circumstances, he would not have bothered.

However, Liu Yonghao had offended Lin Fan.

In this case, he had to be more serious!

First, Liu Yonghao met Feng Weijian, which exposed the lie that he was familiar with the vice-chancellor of Jiangbei University.

Then, Feng Weijian called his counselor in public and exposed the truth that he was never the president of the student council.

The bullsh*t that he had just bragged about in front of everyone was directly exposed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Liu Yonghao's entire face was flushed red. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.

The tall and thin nurse, the round-faced doctor, and Zhang Zhimin wanted to laugh when they saw Feng Weijian's expression.

At this moment, colorful dishes were served one after another.

Although the ingredients were ordinary, the taste was not bad.

In addition, from time to time, someone would go on stage and sing a song, though they sounded like a ghost's howls. Lin Fan, Chen Xin, the lanky nurse, Zhang Zhimin, and the round-faced doctor were all eating happily.

Only Liu Yonghao felt as if he was chewing wax and sitting on pins and needles.

Every second felt like a year to him.

After two hours of eating and chatting, the meal finally came to an end.

Liu Yonghao quickly left Rolling Restaurant alone with the excuse that he had something to do at home.

Initially, Chen Xin wanted to send Zhang Zhimin and the tall and thin nurse home.

However, they said that they did not want to be the third wheel.

Hence, after leaving the restaurant, they called a taxi.

Soon, Chen Xin and Lin Fan were the only two people in the cute and cozy Mini Cooper.

Perhaps it was because of the confined space, both of them felt a little stuffy.

"You still haven't told me when you were able to sing so well." Chen Xin finally spoke after a while."

Speaking of singing, Chen Xin seemed to be unable to move on from his performance.

She closed her eyes slowly and seemed to hear Lin Fan's singing again.

Lin Fan said, "Probably last year…"

He was not spouting nonsense.

This was because he had obtained the system last year and obtained Heavenly Voice, which was why he could sing so well.

"Last year? Did you sign up for a training class?" Chen Xin asked.

"That's not the case. I probably just suddenly became enlightened…" Lin Fan said.

After all, no one would believe him even if he told them about the system.

Chen Xin and Lin Fan chatted while driving, occasionally laughing.

She did not know why, but today, she was interested in everything about Lin Fan.

Before long, the two of them arrived at a winding street.

This was the path they had walked together yesterday.

Yesterday, when the two of them walked together, it was more like a familiar feeling between friends who had not seen each other for many years. b𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎l.net

Today, they felt a different kind of closeness.

The two of them walked side by side, slowly moving forward.

At this moment, a dim yellow light lit up above Lin Fan's and Chen Xin's heads. Just like yesterday, their shadows continued to lengthen.

Today, the shadows seemed to be even closer to each other.

One step, two steps, three steps…

The two of them kept moving forward, and their shadows kept getting closer and closer…

They gradually intersected with each other.

The empty streets, the intersecting figures…

For some reason, Chen Xin suddenly recalled the scene when she sat at the same table as Lin Fan. The scene of them meeting yesterday, the scene of them eating hotpot, and the scene of Lin Fan singing today…

These scenes were like a movie, rippling in Chen Xin's mind.

The next moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! Charming Aura activated, triggered an unforgettable memory!]

Lin Fan was stunned.

What was going on?

Was he not just walking?

Could this also trigger an unforgettable memory?

Who was the target of this trigger?

Chen Xin?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan could not help but use his Eyes of True Sight to observe.

[Appearance: 96]

[Favorability: 95]

It was indeed her!

At this moment, Chen Xin suddenly stopped in her tracks. She stood on her tiptoes and walked toward Lin Fan.

Warm and moist!

333 Warrior, Fighter!

The next morning.

The man with messy hair carried his bag and walked on the straight sidewalk with his head lowered.

On the one-way road ahead, a young man was wearing headphones. He was listening to music while dancing in the middle of the road.

At this moment, a van came from behind. It seemed to be in a hurry and kept honking at the young man.

However…

It was unknown if it was because the young man's earphones were too good at noise cancellation or if he was used to walking in the middle of the road, but he did not have any intention of moving aside.

This action quickly angered the van driver. He stepped on the accelerator and knocked the young man to the ground.

Blood immediately gushed out of the young man's knee as he lay on the ground and wailed.

"How dare you hit me?! Don't even think about leaving today!"

At this moment, two men with buzz cuts walked out of the van.

"Don't even think about leaving?" One of the men said coldly. "That's not up to you!"

As they spoke, the two men with buzz cuts dragged the young man and threw him to the side like trash.

Then, they turned around to return to the van.

However, the young man was unwilling.

First, he was knocked down by them. Then, he was thrown aside like trash… How could he tolerate this?

After he got up from the ground, he stood in the middle of the road, raised his neck, and shouted, "Someone, help! They hit someone! They hit someone! Come and help me!"

The two men frowned slightly and were about to throw the young man aside again.

At this moment, a bearded man walked out of the van.

He stared at the young man with his extremely cold eyes.

Then, he strode toward the young man.

The next moment, the bearded man suddenly pulled out a fruit knife and stabbed the young man fiercely.

Fresh blood spurted out!

The young man's face was filled with disbelief.

After a while, he arrived in front of the man with messy hair.

These words did not scare the bearded man. On the contrary, they seemed to have aroused the bearded man's hostility.

He strode toward the young man again, picked up the fruit knife, and was about to continue stabbing the young man.

The man with messy hair looked at the young man and then at the bearded man. Recalling the fact that he had cancer…

He thought to himself, 'Before I die, I should do some good deeds. Perhaps I can be reincarnated into a good family in my next life!'

At the thought of this, the man with messy hair gritted his teeth and quickly took out his brick-like mobile phone, slamming it fiercely at the bearded man's head.

Bang!

It was accurate!

Ruthless!

The phone shattered.

The bearded man's head was also bleeding.

He felt his vision blur and fell to the ground.

"Boss! Boss!" The two men with buzz cuts shouted in shock.

At this moment, the sound of a police car came from behind.

Immediately after, the police car drove over. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑜𝘳𝘨

Seeing this…

The two men with buzz cuts did not care about the bearded man anymore. They fled in all directions.

However, the two officers blocked their way.

In the Coiling Dragon Villa, Lin Fan was lying on a large, soft bed.

When the birds outside let out a burst of happy cries, he slowly opened his eyes.

Then, he picked up his phone out of habit.

At this moment, as usual, a text message appeared on the screen.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,893,200 yuan was deposited into your account.]

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,000,000 yuan.]

Lin Fan pursed his lips and said, "Another ten million…"

This morning, all the students were very enthusiastic. There were still more than ten minutes before class started, but all the seats had been taken.

It was because this was Teacher Tiantian's class.

Luckily, Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao helped Lin Fan reserve a seat every day. That way, he could avoid the situation of coming all the way to school but not being able to find a seat.

Every time Teacher Tiantian held a class, all the students would sigh at how time passed too quickly.

However, time would never slow down or speed up because of personal wishes.

The morning class ended very quickly.

Lin Fan, Song Yi, and the others went to the cafeteria as usual.

They queued up to buy the food they wanted to eat. Just as they sat down… Lin Fan's phone vibrated.

12:00 PM!

The red packets were here!

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received five yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 111 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,000 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 9,999 yuan.]

Lin Fan clicked on the red packet a few times and received a total of 43,291 yuan.

He did not care about it at all and put his phone back into his pocket.

After lunch, Lin Fan went back to his dorm and lay down on his bed.

Although the bed in the dormitory was not as wide and soft as the one in the Coiling Dragon Villa, as he lay on it, he recalled the lessons, meals, and sleep he had with his classmates today… It made Lin Fan feel content from the bottom of his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, Song Yi, who was also lying on his bed, suddenly shouted, "Bro, you did a good job!"

Ma Zhong, who was reading quietly, popped his head out with a curious expression.

Zheng Jinbao turned his head and asked, "What happened?"

Song Yi waved his hand and said, "This happened just today. It's already on the news. I'll send it to the group for you to see."

Lin Fan's phone vibrated slightly. Soon, a news video played.

"This morning, a criminal committed a crime on the street. Fortunately, a warm-hearted citizen passed by and saved the victim… Let's see what happened."

Then, a man with messy hair appeared on the screen.

"When the criminal took out a fruit knife to commit murder, weren't you afraid?" asked the reporter.

"I was scared," the man with messy hair said.

"Then why did you bravely stand up and directly knock down the criminal? Could it be that you know the injured citizen?" the reporter said.

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know him."

"Is it because of your sense of justice, then?" the reporter said.

The man with messy hair pondered for a moment. After a while, he mustered up his courage and said, "Actually, I'm a cancer patient. I just want to do more good things before my life ends."

The reporter's expression changed drastically. He said in surprise, "Originally, I thought you were just a warrior with a strong sense of justice. I didn't expect you to be a fighter who's fighting against illness!

"Please allow me to pay my highest respect to you!"

After saying that, the reporter bowed deeply to the man.

After seeing the news, Lin Fan was slightly stunned.

He had a photographic memory, so he naturally remembered that the man with messy hair had fainted on the ground the day before yesterday, and he had treated him with Medical Water.

After drinking the Medical Water, his cancer should have been cured, right?

From the looks of it, he did not seem to know that.

334 Reward; Help!

For the next two days, Lin Fan went to and from school like any other student. He was relaxed.

Today, Lin Fan had just arrived at the classroom when Song Yi suddenly shouted excitedly, "F*ck, this is awesome!"

"What happened?" Ma Zhong asked curiously.

"Didn't I post a video in the group two days ago? It's that cancer fighter who saw injustice on the road! He received a prize of 500,000!" Song Yi shouted.

Ma Zhong's eyes widened as he shouted, "500,000!"

After saying that, he could not help but swallow his saliva.

He seemed to have seen stacks of red bills.

"In my opinion, such a warrior should be rewarded!" Song Yi said.

Lin Fan's phone vibrated slightly.

It turned out that Song Yi had posted another news video.

The host said, "After our city's Lintian Company learned of the deeds of the cancer fighter, they were extremely touched. Therefore, they have decided to take responsibility for all his subsequent treatment costs. At the same time, they'll reward him with 500,000 yuan!

"Now, let's invite the cancer fighter to come on stage and give a speech…"

Immediately after, the man with messy hair appeared on the screen.

"First of all, I'm very grateful to Lintian Company for their help. I see that many people on the internet are treating me as a hero, but I want to say that I only did what I should do…"

The man's words were very organized and touched many people.

When he finished speaking, the venue immediately erupted into warm applause.

Seeing this…

Lin Fan's face turned weird. Cancer fighter? Treatment fees? Reward?

Could it be that this man with messy hair wanted to become famous?

Initially, Lin Fan was wondering if he should let Xiao Bai tell the man that his cancer was cured.

Now, it seemed that there was no need for this.

The day's classes came to an end after the bell rang.

Lin Fan sat at the side and ate the delicacies. His face was filled with enjoyment.

Yesterday, when Lin Fan drove past, he was attracted by the aroma here. After tasting the food, he could not stop praising it.

Therefore, he rushed over after school today.

Just as Lin Fan was about to leave after eating his fill, a familiar figure entered his sight.

It was Wang Ru, the beauty Lin Fan met when he was robbed.

Wang Ru also saw Lin Fan.

At this time, the bald man sitting at the table next to Wang Ru finished eating and walked out.

Wang Ru's eyes moved slightly. She walked to Lin Fan and said, "Why are you here? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time!"

As she spoke, she pulled Lin Fan's arm and walked out.

Lin Fan thought for a moment and knew that Wang Ru was handling a case again.

Just as Lin Fan expected, when they arrived at the Mercedes-Benz, Wang Ru said, "Quickly follow the Volkswagen in front. If possible, try not to be discovered."

Originally, Wang Ru planned to follow the man.

However, Wang Ru had been following him for a long time.

If she continued to follow him, she would be easily discovered by the other party.

Secondly… Wang Ru knew that Lin Fan had excellent driving skills. She asked Lin Fan for help so that she would not lose him easily.

Lin Fan did not reject Wang Ru's request.

This world was safe and stable because of these serious and responsible investigations.

Moreover, Lin Fan had a good impression of Wang Ru.

Boom!

Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and sped forward, following behind the Volkswagen steadily.

When they drove past a fork in the road, Lin Fan suddenly turned the steering wheel.

"You seem to have gone the wrong way," said Wang Ru.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine after we pass the road in front." Lin Fan smiled.

Just as Lin Fan had said, after making out of that stretch of road, the Volkswagen appeared in front of them again.

Similar things happened several times in a row.

It was also because of these actions that the Volkswagen did not notice the Mercedes-Benz G-Class following behind it.

Seeing this…

Wang Ru could not help but look at Lin Fan in shock.

"You actually remember all the routes in this area?" Wang Ru could not help but ask.

Lin Fan said, "It's simple."

It was simple for Lin Fan.

When he was bored, he would casually look at the electronic map and remember all the routes clearly.

One had to know…

Even if it was a book with a few hundred pages, Lin Fan could easily recite it backward.

What more a map the size of a page?

After all, Lin Fan was someone with a photographic memory and scanning abilities.

However, Wang Ru did not feel good hearing this.

As an investigator, she knew very well that it was very important to be familiar with the streets of the city.

This was because it could be of great help in arresting criminals.

For this reason, Wang Ru spent a lot of time memorizing the streets.

However… However, the effect was not ideal.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Why do I feel like every time I see you, you're chasing after someone? Are you so busy investigating?"

"Ever since you were robbed with a knife that day, we've become busier," Wang Ru said.

Lin Fan was stunned.

Then, he suddenly remembered that Deng Jihu, the captain of the Jiangbei City Investigation Team, had said that he would crack down on crime.

Was it still going on?

"I'll go back and talk to Captain Deng Jihu."

Wang Ru waved her hand and said, "Don't! I think that this is quite good. I can continuously bring those hidden bad guys to justice.

"Just like today," she said after a pause. "If it weren't for the strict enforcement during this period of time, I'm afraid it would've been very difficult for us to know that there's actually a gang of organ smugglers in Jiangbei."

"Is it that Volkswagen car in front?" Lin Fan asked.

"Yes," said Wang Ru. "I don't know how many people they've harmed. I hope that I can find their nest today!"

As she said this, she could not help but clench her fists.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class followed behind, driving through a bumpy path and a rugged mountain road…

Finally, a dilapidated factory appeared in front of them.

The Volkswagen was parked there.

After the bald man got out of the car, he looked around before entering the factory.

Wang Ru pondered for a moment and said, "You wait here for a while. I want to go in and see if this is the base camp of those forces."

Lin Fan said, "I'll go with you."

"No! It's very dangerous inside!" Wang Ru directly denied it.

Lin Fan smiled. "Do you think I'll be in danger? Besides, do you know how many people are inside? I might be able to help if I go in."

"Help!"

At this moment, a shrill cry suddenly sounded from inside.

Wang Ru could not care less and quickly said, "You have to be careful later. If you encounter danger, don't hesitate and leave quickly!"

"Alright," said Lin Fan.

335 The Energy Shield is Activated!

Wang Ru took out her cell phone and quickly sent two messages to her colleagues. Then she walked toward the old factory.

The scream just now made her realize that someone inside was in danger.

However, Wang Ru did not rush inside. She had always been very careful and cautious.

It was because she understood one thing.

Saving people was important, but if she were to rush in without knowing the enemy…

Not only could she not save people, but she would also be bringing harm to the other party. At the same time, she would be harming herself.

After Wang Ru and Lin Fan walked into the dilapidated factory, they slowly walked forward with the help of the weak light.

At this moment, a stern shout sounded from afar.

"Stop screaming!

"Let me tell you, this is an abandoned factory, and the surroundings are all wasteland! Even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one can save you!

"Damn it! You want to run after taking my money? No one has ever dared to be so bold!

"You're the first! You sure have guts!"

Following that, there was a round of applause.

Then, there was pleading.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry… I beg you, don't hit me anymore…

"I beg you, please spare me…"

When Lin Fan heard this voice, he did not know why, but he felt that it was somewhat familiar.

The next moment, a group of fiendish figures and a person who was tied up appeared in Lin Fan's and Wang Ru's sight.

Looking at the person who had been tied up, Lin Fan's face revealed a strange expression.

This person was actually the cancer fighter whom he had met.

Did he not receive a 500,000-yuan prize?

How did he get caught by a force suspected of organ smuggling?

"Return it to me?" Brother Zhang raised his eyebrows and said.

"Yes, I don't want to give up my cornea anymore… I… I was misdiagnosed. I don't have cancer, so I don't want to give up my cornea anymore…" the man with messy hair said.

"You don't want to? You're not doing it anymore just because you don't want to? Do you think I'm a monkey? Do you think you can play with me so casually?" Brother Zhang shouted.

Then, he raised his hand again and slapped the man's face.

Another loud slap echoed in the dilapidated factory.

Hearing this, Lin Fan finally understood what had happened.

The man with messy hair found out that he had cancer, so he went to look for this organization to exchange his organs for some money.

In the end, he fainted because of his illness and drank the Medical Water Lin Fan gave him, which cured his cancer.

Hence, he did not want to give up his cornea anymore.

This… What a coincidence.

Was he lucky or unlucky?

Brother Zhang asked coldly, "You don't have cancer? That's great. I'll take all your organs out!"

Beside him, a group of fiendish men put on their gloves and picked up their cold scalpels. They slowly walked toward the man with messy hair.

The man with messy hair was so scared that his face turned pale. He shouted, "No, no, no. Don't… I'll give you money. I have 500,000 yuan. I'll give it all to you… I still have a house. I'll give it to you too. I'll give it all to you…"

"500,000?" Brother Zhang sneered. "A house? Who do you think I am? I'm here for organs, not robbery or extortion!"

He was quite professional.

The group of fiendish men continued to gather around the man with messy hair.

Seeing this…

Wang Ru was anxious.

She did not want an innocent person to die in front of her.

She was so anxious that she accidentally stepped on the can beside her.

Brother Zhang's expression turned cold. He suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who is it?"

The fierce men also looked in Wang Ru's direction.

Brother Zhang raised his hand and gestured for the round-faced man beside him to go over and take a look.

The round-faced man nodded and carefully walked forward with a scalpel in his hand.

Wang Ru knew that she could not hide anymore.

Hence, she whispered to Lin Fan, "You go out first!"

Then, Wang Ru took the opportunity to attack.

Bang! 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝙤𝒓𝙜

She kicked the knife in the round-faced man's hand away, then subdued him on the ground and handcuffed his hands.

Then, she shouted, "Police! Don't move!"

The expressions of Brother Zhang and the other fiendish men changed slightly.

However, they were not afraid, nor did they listen to orders.

Two men ran to the window and looked outside with binoculars.

"Big Brother Zhang, there's only one car outside."

Brother Zhang said coldly, "We can just catch her! That way, we'll have another complete set of organs!"

"Yes, Boss!"

The men rushed toward Wang Ru with knives in their hands.

Stab!

Stab!

Stab!

They all attacked Wang Ru.

While Wang Ru was dodging, she also punched and kicked from time to time, knocking down one man after another.

Wang Ru's personal combat strength was indeed good.

However, it was difficult for her to fight against two people.

Moreover, the two men were each holding a sharp knife.

Gradually, Wang Ru began to show signs of decline.

A man seized the opportunity and stabbed at Wang Ru.

At this moment, a black shadow jumped out and kicked the man away.

It was Lin Fan!

With Lin Fan joining in, the situation started to change.

Soon, one man after another fell to the ground.

In the distance, Brother Zhang narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that he could not delay any longer.

He had to finish them off quickly!

Brother Zhang quietly took out a black pistol from the drawer behind him and pulled the trigger at Wang Ru, who had no cover.

Bang!

A bullet shot out.

Lin Fan reacted quickly and pushed Wang Ru to the ground.

In TV shows, this kind of situation should mean that the protagonist had already dodged the bullet.

In reality?

How could a person's speed be faster than a bullet?

Even if Lin Fan had the ability to take on a hundred people at once, it would not do!

Just as Lin Fan arrived in front of Wang Ru, the bullet was already fired.

At this moment, an invisible shield appeared around Lin Fan, blocking the bullet.

It was the energy shield that Lin Fan had obtained before.

Seeing this…

Lin Fan could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Then, he stood up and attacked continuously. In the shortest time possible, he knocked all the men in front of him to the ground.

Then, like a cheetah, he rushed toward Brother Zhang.

Brother Zhang's expression changed drastically. He picked up his pistol again and kept pulling the trigger.

Lin Fan dodged left and right.

A portion of the bullets were successfully dodged.

A portion of the bullets were successfully blocked by the energy shield.

Soon, Lin Fan arrived in front of Brother Zhang and kicked him.

Bang!

He did not hold back at all. The kick directly sent Brother Zhang flying two meters away. His teeth were mixed with blood, and they kept pouring out of his mouth. He never got up again.

336 I Have A Boyfriend!

At this point, everyone in the organ organization had lost their ability to fight.

The entire abandoned factory became extremely quiet.

Lin Fan turned to Wang Ru and said, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine… What about you? Are you hurt?" Wang Ru was extremely worried.

She had seen it very clearly. Brother Zhang had fired several shots at Lin Fan.

Reality… was not like TV shows.

Bullets were definitely not that easy to dodge. If one was the slightest bit careless, it could be extremely dangerous.

Lin Fan said, "I'm not injured."

However, Wang Ru did not just listen to what Lin Fan said. She looked at Lin Fan from head to toe. When she saw that he really was not injured, she heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the sound of a police car came from outside.

"Your colleagues seem to be here," Lin Fan said.

Wang Ru nodded.

As they spoke, the two of them walked out.

The man with messy hair who had been beaten up like a pig could not help but say, "O-Officer, can you untie the ropes around me first?"

When Lin Fan heard this, he casually threw the scalpel that he had snatched from the fight earlier.

A cold light flashed past, and the ropes on the man's body snapped.

[Skill: 100% Hidden Weapon!]

"Hiss!"

Previously, when Brother Zhang kept beating up the man with messy hair, he did not pee his pants.

At this moment…

His legs went soft, and there was a warm patch on his pants.

He… He peed.

Lin Fan's move was just too sudden and terrifying.

As soon as Lin Fan and Wang Ru walked out of the dilapidated factory, a large group of police officers ran over.

One of them asked, "Wang Ru, what's the situation?"

"The people from the organ organization have all been subdued. In addition, there's also a victim," Wang Ru said.

All subdued?

The officers were stunned.

They thought to themselves, 'Perhaps there are very few of them?'

The officers nodded and ran inside quickly.

Not long after, the officers brought out a large group of injured men and slowly walked over.

How did they capture so many criminals?

The officers were filled with doubts.

However, they also understood that now was not the time to ask these questions, so they took all these men into the police car.

Wang Ru looked at the fully occupied police car and asked, "Lin Fan, can you send me to the station?"

"No problem," Lin Fan said.

Boom!

After returning to the Mercedes-Benz, Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator and continued to drive along the road they came from.

When they arrived, the atmosphere in the car was extremely tense.

At this moment, it was very relaxed.

Wang Ru looked at the dim lights on both sides of the road and the rustling green plants. It was quiet and peaceful.

Not long after, a stately building appeared in front of them.

It was the police station !

Lin Fan said, "I won't go in to make a statement. See you next time!"

If someone else had made such a request, Wang Ru would definitely refuse!

However, Lin Fan was different. He had the power to do so.

"Alright, see you next time!" Wang Ru said.

Then, Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator again and returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa.

He first sat on the soft sofa and drank a mouthful of fragrant Spirit Tea while playing with his phone. He was extremely relaxed and satisfied.

After washing up, he lay down on the spacious bed and enjoyed himself.

While Lin Fan was enjoying himself, Wang Ru finished giving her statement and returned home.

She stood on the balcony and looked at the night scene in the distance. She allowed the breeze to caress her face. She could not help but recall the serious expression on Lin Fan's face when he was driving, the brave figure of Lin Fan when he knocked down the criminals, and the scene of Lin Fan pushing her to the ground to protect her.

At this moment, Wang Ru thought of something, and her face suddenly turned red.

… 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

Today, Chen Xin welcomed a rare rest day.

When she came to the living room with sleepy eyes, her mother, Li Rong, happened to bring out noodles and steamed dumplings.

His father, Chen Dayong, was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine.

The family sat together, eating breakfast and chatting about their daily lives. It was very warm.

At this moment, her mother, Li Rong, suddenly sighed and said, "In the blink of an eye, our Xin Xin has already started working and become an adult. After a while, she might get married."

"Mom…" Chen Xin said in embarrassment.

Li Rong continued, "Don't be shy. You're also at the age of dating now."

Chen Dayong said, "When you're in a relationship, you have to open your eyes wide… By the way, the son of the chairman of Dadi Company, which has a good relationship with our company, is quite good. Do you want me to get his contact information?"

When Chen Xin heard this, she finally understood why her parents were suddenly talking about love and marriage.

Were they going to introduce her to a partner?

"Dad, Mom, actually, I already have a boyfriend."

As she said this, she could not help but recall eating hotpot with Lin Fan, listening to Lin Fan sing, shopping with him, hugging him, and…

Thinking of this scene, Chen Xin's pretty face could not help but reveal a sweet smile.

"What? You have a boyfriend?" Li Rong was stunned for a moment.

Chen Dayong was also stunned.

Obviously, he did not expect his daughter to have a boyfriend.

After a while, Li Rong asked, "Who is it? Is it a doctor from your hospital?"

"He…" Chen Xin said. "He's my high school classmate. You've met him before."

"Have we met before?" Li Rong and Chen Dayong looked at each other.

Li Rong said, "Could it be… Xiong Peng? He seems not bad…"

Chen Xin said, "No, he's a high school classmate from Jiang Province. His name is Lin Fan. He was my deskmate in Year One."

"Lin Fan?" Chen Dayong pondered for a while and said, "I seem to remember him a little. He's tall, and his grades seemed to be quite good."

When Chen Xin heard her father praise Lin Fan, she was even happier than when she heard him praise her.

"Yes, it's him," said Tiantian.

"When did you and Lin Fan get together?" Li Rong asked.

"Not long ago," Chen Xin said shyly.

Li Rong said, "Child, why didn't you tell me that you were in a relationship? Oh right, is Lin Fan working in Jiangbei now?"

"He's studying at Jiangbei University," Chen Xin said honestly.

"Not bad! Jiangbei University is a top university!" Chen Dayong nodded his head and said, "I'm meeting the president of the Jiangbei branch of Tiantian Bank for a meal today. Xin Xin, why don't you call Lin Fan out for a meal so that I can meet him?"

"Huh?" Chen Xin hesitated. "You want to eat together?"

"What, you don't want us to see him?" Chen Dayong laughed.

"I… I'll ask him if he has any classes first," Chen Xin said.

337 Invitation; Lottery Draw!

After Chen Xin finished speaking, she took her phone and went to her room.

After the door closed, Li Rong said softly, "Didn't you say that our Huanhai Company's funds are in trouble? If Dadi doesn't help… Will we be swallowed up by Swift Company?"

When this matter was brought up, Chen Dayong's indifferent expression from before disappeared without a trace.

What replaced it was a worried look.

"But no matter what difficulties the company is facing, we can't let Xin Xin suffer."

Then, Chen Dayong smiled and said, "Besides, aren't I meeting the president of the Jiangbei branch of Tiantian Bank today? As long as the negotiations are settled, the problem of our company's funds will be no more."

Li Rong said, "It's such an important banquet. Won't it be inappropriate to invite Lin Fan over?"

"I think it's quite good. I can discuss business and also inspect my future son-in-law. It's killing two birds with one stone!" Chen Dayong laughed.

Coiling Dragon Villa.

Lin Fan had just finished his breakfast when the phone in his pocket vibrated.

Chen Xin: [Lin Fan, are you free today? My parents want to invite you to dinner.]

When Lin Fan saw this message, he was stunned for a moment.

Was this another meeting with parents?

Another?

That was right!

That was because Lin Fan had already met Qiu Ziqian's parents, Huang Ling's parents, and Hu Tian's parents…

It could be said that Lin Fan was quite experienced when it came to meeting parents.

After a while, Lin Fan raised his fingers and started to type on the screen.

Lin Fan: [Of course, I have time! I'll be there in a bit.]

After chatting for a while…

At this moment, Lin Fan's phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was the president of Tiantian Bank, Huang Jiayi.

Lin Fan said, "Hello, what's up?"

"I'm having a meeting in Jiangbei," Huang Jiayi said. "Would you like to come over?"

"Meeting? I have no interest in such things…" Lin Fan said straightforwardly.

"Yes, yes…" Huang Jiayi was worried that he would make Lin Fan unhappy, so he did not dare to say anything more about the topic.

Then, the two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up.

In the president's office of the Jiangbei branch of Tiantian Bank.

"President Yuan, our Swift Company has spent a lot of effort to force Huanhai Company to where they are today," the bald man said.

"You can't let my efforts go to waste."

"Don't worry. With our relationship, how can we let this happen?" President Yuan said.

"I'll make sure Chen Dayong comes to the banquet today happy but leaves disappointed."

"Hahaha!" The bald man laughed heartily. "That's great. By the way, I brought a batch of good tea leaves a while ago. You have to taste them later!"

As he spoke, he took out a large metal box from his bag.

"Hahaha!" President Yuan laughed heartily. "Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

As a landmark building in Jiangbei, the Imperial Hotel was as usual. Men and women in gorgeous clothes and suits were coming in and out. Business was very good.

Chen Dayong came to the front desk and asked anxiously, "There are no more private rooms?"

"Yes," the attendant replied.

Chen Dayong's expression turned ugly when he heard that.

One had to know…

Today, he had invited the branch president of Tiantian Bank.

How could he entertain him in the main hall?

If the other party got angry because of this, what should he do about the problem of Huanhai Company's funds?

Should he tell President Yuan to change places?

The other party would probably not be happy to hear that!

Just as Chen Dayong was at his wit's end, Chen Xin said happily, "Lin Fan, you're here!"

Then, she held Lin Fan's arm and said, "Dad, Mom, this is Lin Fan."

Lin Fan said, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."

Li Rong secretly sized up Lin Fan.

She looked at Lin Fan's tall figure and well-defined facial features. She said in satisfaction, "Lin Fan, long time no see."

Chen Dayong was a little upset because there were no more private rooms.

Hence, he merely nodded his head at Lin Fan.

Then, he said to the attendant, "Are you sure there's not a single private room left?"

"Yes," the attendant replied.

"How long will it take if we wait?" Chen Dayong asked.

"We don't know the exact time because we have to let the guests leave first. Our hotel doesn't limit the time the guests can spend in the private rooms," the waiter replied.

In order to earn more money, some hotels might limit the dining time of their guests.

This way, they could get more new customers to come in and spend money.

However, as a landmark building in Jiangbei, the Imperial Hotel naturally did not impose such a rule.

That was because it would greatly reduce the customer's experience.

Lin Fan listened to their conversation and immediately understood that Uncle Chen wanted to book a private room.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded not far away.

The surrounding waiters greeted the man respectfully.

"Hello, General Manager."

The person who came was the general manager of the Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi.

Wang Fengyi was not someone who liked to put on airs.

In the past, he would return the greeting one by one.

However, at this moment, he did not stop and quickened his pace toward the front desk.

It was because Wang Fengyi had seen Lin Fan!

Lin Fan also noticed Wang Fengyi. He rolled shifted his eyes and said, "I heard that guests can win a chance to use the VIP room for free at the Imperial Hotel. Is that true?"

Wang Fengyi was about to greet Lin Fan, but after hearing his words, he glanced at Chen Xin and the others. After thinking about it, he had some guesses.

He cleared his throat and said, "Of course, our Imperial Hotel's lucky draw is real. May I ask if you want to participate?"

As Wang Fengyi spoke, he took out his phone and opened a QR code.

Lin Fan took out his phone and scanned the QR code.

Beep!

With a soft sound, the QR code was successfully scanned. 𝚋𝚎𝚍n𝚘v𝚎𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

"Go and get the lucky draw box from our hotel," Wang Fengyi said to the front desk staff.

"Huh?" The receptionist was a little confused.

She had no idea when the Imperial Hotel had a lucky draw to use the VIP room, let alone where the lucky draw box was.

"It's the lottery box that you used last night." Wang Fengyi frowned.

"Ah… Alright… Alright." The receptionist was completely dumbfounded.

She naturally knew about the lucky draw box that she had used yesterday.

However… was that not the employees' lucky draw?

Although the receptionist was full of doubts, she still walked toward the staff breakroom.

338 Winning the Prize; Unable to Get a Loan!

While chatting and waiting…

The receptionist carried a lucky draw box and walked over nervously.

She did not know if this was the lucky draw box that the general manager was referring to.

At this moment, Wang Fengyi waved his hand and said, "Finally!"

When the receptionist heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had not taken the wrong one.

Wang Fengyi first put his hand into the lottery box and stirred it.

Then, he said to Lin Fan, "Please draw."

Lin Fan nodded and took out a lottery ticket.

Wang Fengyi slowly opened the lottery ticket and looked at Lin Fan in disbelief. "Grand prize! Congratulations, you've received a 100,000 yuan voucher. You can also use our VIP room for free.

"Excuse me, do you wish to use it now?"

Lin Fan did not reply and turned to look at Chen Dayong.

Chen Dayong felt a little dizzy from suddenly winning the big prize. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝘯𝑒𝑡

After a while, he said, "Ah… We'll use it now."

Thus, under Wang Fengyi's personal lead, the group arrived at the VIP room on the 66th floor.

Soft wool carpet, diamond-shaped lights, mahogany furniture… Everything reflected the luxury of the private room.

Chen Xin smiled and said, "Last time, I had a free meal with Lin Fan at Rolling Restaurant. Today, I can have another free meal… I want to steal some of this good fortune too."

As Chen Xin spoke, she moved closer to Lin Fan and took a few deep breaths.

Lin Fan wanted to laugh.

Chen Dayong opened his mouth and was about to say something when the phone in his pocket rang.

He looked at the caller ID and said with a serious expression. "Hello, President Yuan.

"You're here?

"Okay, okay. I'll come and pick you up now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Dayong quickly walked out.

After President Yuan looked at the decoration in the private room, he could not help but raise his eyes and say, "The VIP room! Not bad!"

Obviously, he had seen a little of the world.

"Of course, I have to treat you to a meal at the best place…" Chen Dayong said.

President Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Then, the two of them began to chat.

However, from the beginning to the end, President Yuan maintained a high and mighty attitude.

At this moment, delicately designed and fragrant dishes were slowly served by the waiter.

Chen Dayong opened a bottle of Flying Maotai and poured the clear liquor into a glass.

Then, he stood up and raised his glass. "President Yuan, thank you very much for gracing me with your presence today. I'll toast you with this glass of liquor."

As soon as he finished speaking, he drank the liquor in his glass in one gulp.

President Yuan raised his hand and said, "Sit down, sit down. What's the point of standing and drinking?"

"Yes, yes… President Yuan is right," Chen Dayong said awkwardly and slowly sat down.

Then, the two of them started chatting again.

About 20 minutes later, Chen Dayong saw that it was about time and finally said, "President Yuan, regarding the loan of our Huanhai Company, I wonder what's the current status of our application? When will I be able to get the money?"

As soon as he said this, the originally lively atmosphere immediately became much colder.

President Yuan first put the top-grade Wagyu beef into his mouth and drank a mouthful of Flying Maotai. Then, he said with a stern expression, "Is this why you invited me to the VIP room of the Imperial Hotel? Hmph!

"It would've been fine if you hadn't mentioned it. But since you did mention it, then so be it! Let me tell you clearly. With the things you've provided, are you still thinking of borrowing 50 million? You shouldn't even think about borrowing 50 cents!"

After saying that, President Yuan slammed a stack of documents on the table.

When Chen Dayong saw this, his expression changed drastically.

No loan at all?

How was this possible?

Obviously, this was something he had not expected.

"President Yuan, didn't you say that the loan would be approved soon?" Chen Dayong asked anxiously. "Why can't I get a loan now?"

In fact, this was also one of the reasons why Chen Dayong had asked Lin Fan to come along today. It was so that he could broaden his horizons.

In Chen Dayong's opinion, today's banquet would only be about how big of a loan they could get. He did not expect that they would not be able to get a loan.

First, they did not have any problems with the procedure.

Secondly, President Yuan made many promises.

"That's because I was deceived by you!" President Yuan said coldly. "If you think you can get a loan, then take the documents and go to another bank!"

After saying that, he got up and prepared to walk out.

Find another bank to take out a loan?

Although there was indeed no problem with the documents, the loan this time was for 50 million yuan, not 50,000 yuan!

Capital verification, going through the process, getting the money… All of this would take a long time.

Huanhai Company did not have the time to wait.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

However, no one walked in immediately.

Wang Fengyi, who was holding a plate of delicious food, was stopped by the chairman of Tiantian Bank, Huang Jiayi, who was behind him.

He patted Wang Fengyi's shoulder and said, "Manager Wang, haha! You're here! How about we have a few drinks in my private room?"

The two of them were familiar with each other, so they talked very casually.

Wang Fengyi said, "I'm afraid I'm not free now. Next time, next time. I'll arrange it. Let's have a few drinks together!"

After all, Boss Lin Fan was here today.

Wine could be drunk at any time.

However, it was not every day that he had the chance to serve his boss.

Huang Jiayi was a very smart person. He immediately began to guess.

Who was in this room? Even Wang Fengyi had to personally entertain them.

Huang Jiayi was curious. He wanted to look inside through the gap in the door.

At this moment, the door of the private room opened.

President Yuan walked out with a face full of arrogance.

However, in the next moment, he was stunned.

It was because the chairman of Tiantian Bank, Huang Jiayi, had appeared at the door.

The arrogance on President Yuan's face instantly disappeared without a trace. It was replaced by a humble and fawning expression.

"Hello, Chairman Huang!"

Huang Jiayi still had some impression of President Yuan. He was just the president of a small branch in Jiangbei City. Why would he appear in the VIP room that Wang Fengyi had to personally entertain?

Huang Jiayi was slightly confused and was about to nod to greet him…

In the next moment, his pupils constricted.

Lin Fan!

He saw Lin Fan in the room!

In fact, Huang Jiayi had come to Jiangbei because of a meeting that Tiantian Bank was participating in.

The most important reason was that he wanted to meet Lin Fan and get closer to him.

However, when he was on the phone with Lin Fan this morning, Huang Jiayi seemed to hear that Lin Fan was a little impatient.

Therefore, he did not dare to say anything.

Unexpectedly… he bumped into Lin Fan in the hotel.

Therefore, Huang Jiayi ignored President Yuan. He bowed and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

339 A Mistake in Review; Begging For Mercy!

As Huang Jiayi's voice rang out, everyone present had different thoughts.

President Yuan was full of doubts, Mr. Lin? What Mr. Lin? Chairman Huang actually had to be so respectful? However, there did not seem to be anyone with the surname Lin here.

Wang Fengyi revealed a thoughtful look.

Chen Xin and Li Rong looked at Lin Fan in confusion. Someone surnamed Lin? Was Chairman Huang greeting Lin Fan?

Chen Dayong did not pay much attention to it. He quickly ran to President Yuan and said, "President Yuan, there's nothing wrong with our documents. Please take a closer look and approve the loan for us."

If it were in the past, Chen Dayong would definitely notice that President Yuan was treating Huang Jiayi respectfully, and Huang Jiayi was greeting Mr. Lin respectfully…

However, at this moment, he only wanted to get the loan and had no other concerns.

If he could not get the loan…

Then, the company that he had worked so hard for would completely disappear.

Lin Fan rubbed his nose and took a few steps forward, "Leave it to me, Mr. Chen."

As he spoke, he took the documents from Chen Dayong's hands.

Then, he said to Huang Jiayi, "Mr. Huang, these are the loan documents for my girlfriend's father. He wants to borrow 50 million yuan. See if there's any problem.

"Sit down and take your time."

Huang Jiayi did not dare to hesitate. He quickly took the materials and carefully flipped through them.

Lin Fan was a major shareholder of Tiantian Bank. Even if he wanted to borrow 500 million, 50 billion, 50 billion… There was absolutely no problem.

However, since Lin Fan had asked him to look, Huang Jiayi chose to go through the documents obediently.

He looked through them very carefully as he was worried that Lin Fan would raise some questions.

There was only the soft sound of pages flipping in the entire room.

The sound of the pages flipping seemed to bring a breeze, gradually bringing a cool breeze to the extremely anxious Chen Dayong.

The sound of the pages turning made President Yuan extremely hot and sweaty.

Half an hour later, Huang Jiayi finally stopped flipping through the documents.

Lin Fan asked, "How is it? Can the loan be approved?"

Huang Jiayi replied, "There's no problem at all! In fact, with these things as collateral, he should be able to borrow nearly 60 million yuan."

After dragging things out with Lin Fan's girlfriend's father for so long, he even said that he could not even borrow 50 cents?

This was simply… He was a bastard!

"Yuan Jian, explain this to me!" Huang Jiayi's face sank as he shouted.

A thin layer of sweat instantly appeared on Yuan Jian's forehead. He stuttered, "This… This… Maybe the examiner made a mistake."

"Oh? Then tell me, which examiner did it?!" Huang Jiayi said coldly.

"Yes… It was… Yu Zhenbo," Yuan Jian said.

"Alright!" Huang Jiayi took out his phone and made a call. "This is Huang Jiayi. Please transfer my call to Yu Zhenbo, the examiner of the Jiangbei Datong Street branch.

"Yu Zhenbo, let me ask you, did you review the loan documents for case AAL88? It's regarding Huanhai Company.

"You didn't? Okay, I understand."

"Yuan Jian, is this what you meant by saying that Yu Zhenbo was the examiner?" Huang Jiayi shouted!

The sweat on Yuan Jian's forehead became denser, and his entire body began to tremble.

In fact, ever since he received the loan documents from Huanhai Company, he had locked them in a drawer and only took them out today. The examiner did not even know that there was such a thing, so how could the documents have been reviewed?

How could Yuan Jian have thought that Huang Jiayi would personally ask about it one day?

"I… I…"

He thought for a long time, but he did not say anything.

"Say no more!" Huang Jiayi shouted. "Yuan Jian, from now on, you're no longer the branch manager of our Tiantian Bank! In addition, I'll get someone to thoroughly investigate all your accounts over the years. If there are any problems, I'll directly hand them over for investigation!"

Plop!

In an instant, Yuan Jian seemed to have been drained of all his strength. His entire body fell to the ground weakly, and he was unable to stand upright.

One had to know…

He had spent half his life working hard to become the president of the Jiangbei branch of Tiantian Bank.

In the end, it was gone now?

Moreover, they would thoroughly investigate all his accounts.

Over the years, he had taken many benefits from others in private… If all these were found out, the consequences…

Thinking of this, Yuan Jian's entire face turned pale.

He lay on the ground and begged, "M-Mr. Huang, don't. I beg you, don't remove my position as the president…"

However, Huang Jiayi was completely indifferent to this and did not pay any attention to it.

Then, Yuan Jian seemed to have thought of something. He turned around and said to Lin Fan, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I was blinded by greed… Please, let me go…Please…"

Would begging solve the issue?

How was this possible?

Lin Fan frowned and said, "Mr. Wang, it seems a little noisy here."

"Yes, yes…" Wang Fengyi hurriedly said. "I'll get rid of him now."

Soon, two security guards rushed over and carried Yuan Jian out without a word.

The entire private room returned to silence.

"Mr. Huang, when will Uncle Chen get the loan for Huanhai Company?" Lin Fan asked.

"It'll definitely be approved before I get off work today!" Huang Jiayi promised.

"If Mr. Chen is in a hurry, I'll go to the bank now. I'll definitely get the money in an hour."

Chen Dayong's heart skipped a beat. "There's no need to trouble yourself," he said. "It just needs to arrive before work ends today."

"Right, is 50 million yuan enough?" Huang Jiayi asked again. "If you need more, I can lend more to you."

The bank had always given less money to companies when they sought loans from the bank.

When had the bank ever asked if the loan amount was enough?

This man even wanted to lend some out privately?

"It's enough. 50 million is enough."

Then, Huang Jiayi chatted for a while more before saying respectfully, "Then I won't disturb you anymore…"

"Mr. Lin and distinguished guests, please enjoy your meal and drinks."

Then, Huang Jiayi walked out.

Instantly, Chen Dayong, Chen Xin, and Li Rong turned their gazes to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan could see a lot of questions on their faces, so he took the initiative to say, "Huang Jiayi is the chairman of Tiantian Bank."

"The chairman of Tiantian Bank!" Chen Dayong swallowed hard.

In fact, when he saw Yuan Jian bowing down to Huang Jiayi, he had some guesses.

However, after getting Lin Fan's confirmation, he still could not help but be shocked.

340 Constitution Enhancement; Biology Department Asks For Help!

The chairman of Tiantian Bank was so respectful to Lin Fan…

Who was Lin Fan?

"Then…" Chen Dayong could not help but say.

Obviously, Lin Fan had already seen through Chen Dayong's confusion. He said, "I'm the biggest shareholder of Tiantian Bank."

Silence!

The entire private room was silent!

Tiantian Bank was the largest private bank in Hua Nation with a market value of more than hundreds of billions.

Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder in the bank. How much was he worth?

Billions?

Tens of billions?

Hundreds of billions?

If Lin Fan had said from the start that he was the biggest shareholder of Tiantian Bank…

Then, not only would Chen Dayong and the others not believe him, but they would even think that he was a person who liked to brag.

However, everything that had just happened proved that this was the truth!

After a while, Chen Xin said, "No wonder. I always felt that the general manager of the Imperial Hotel seemed to take good care of us. He should know that you're the biggest shareholder of Tiantian Bank, right?"

Lin Fan coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I'm the owner of the Imperial Hotel."

Silence.

The entire private room fell silent again.

The weather today was a little gloomy.

After a long while, Lin Fan finally opened his eyes.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 76,870,920 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system.

"Let's see what I can get today.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received a Constitution Enhancement Potion.]

Lin Fan's expression changed slightly and he focused his attention on the potion.

[Constitution Enhancement Potion: A magical potion that can double the strength, speed, toughness, immunity, and other physical attributes of the human body after using it. Having a strong body could increase one's charm.]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan's eyes lit up immediately.

Many people exercised to increase their strength or to increase their immunity…

Now, as long as he drank a bottle of potion, he could easily do what others could only do after working hard for a few years or even decades!

This was definitely a very good thing!

When Lin Fan raised his head, there was a bottle of transparent liquid the size of a pinky on the bedside table.

This… It was the Constitution Enhancement Potion that he had just obtained.

Lin Fan quickly got out of bed and washed up. Then, he poured the potion into his mouth.

Gulp!

As the potion entered his stomach, it was like a warm current flowing through his heart.

Then, Lin Fan felt his entire body filled with energy.

He glanced at the mahogany table beside him and raised his hand.

Whoosh!

The mahogany table was picked up.

One had to know…

This mahogany table was made of solid wood. It would probably take two adults to lift it.

At this moment, it was like a piece of paper in Lin Fan's hands. It was extremely easy.

In fact, this was quite normal.

When Lin Fan obtained Violent Aesthetics, his body had already changed. His strength was far beyond what normal people could compare to.

Now that he had taken the Constitution Enhancement Potion, his strength had doubled. Naturally, it was extraordinary.

Jiangbei University, the teachers' office.

Hu Tian sat at her desk and carefully flipped through the academic materials.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.

"Please come in," Hu Tian said.

Then, a round-faced woman wearing black-rimmed glasses slowly walked in.

"Professor Zheng?" Hu Tian said in a slightly surprised voice.

No wonder she was like this.

Professor Zheng was a professor in the biology department.

In the past, the two of them had sat together during the staff training, so they were in contact for a period of time.

However, they rarely contacted each other after that.

After all, Hu Tian was a professor in the Mathematics Department, while Professor Zheng was a professor in the Biology Department. Their research areas and office locations were far apart.

Why did she rush over so early in the morning today?

"Professor Hu, the weather is pretty good today." Professor Zheng smiled.

As soon as she finished speaking, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.

The strong wind blew, causing the trees outside to sway.

Immediately after, heavy rain poured down.

Professor Zheng stood awkwardly on the spot.

To ease the awkwardness, Hu Tian said, "Professor Zheng, why don't you sit down and have some coffee? This coffee tastes pretty good. Lin Fan brought it from Li City…"

"No need, no need…" When Professor Zheng heard the first half, she waved her hands repeatedly. However, after hearing the second half of the sentence, she kept nodding and said, "Alright, I'll have to trouble you, Professor Hu."

Hu Tian could not help but look at Professor Zheng again. She did not say anything and stood up to help pour a cup of coffee.

Instantly, a rich fragrance filled the entire office.

Professor Zheng took a light sip, and a look of enjoyment appeared on her face. She praised, "It tastes really good!"

Although she rarely drank coffee, these words definitely came from her heart.

Then, she took a mouthful after another.

Soon, the entire cup of coffee was finished.

It was also at this moment that Professor Zheng seemed to have remembered something.

She cleared her throat and said, "Lin Fan is really a genius. Not only could he solve so many mathematical problems, but he also invented the earthquake prediction device in physics and the super battery in chemistry… He even brought such delicious coffee beans…"

At this point, Professor Zheng changed the topic and said, "Professor Hu, I heard that you have a good relationship with Lin Fan… Tell me, does he study biomedicine? Especially when it comes to biomedicine related to diabetes…"

When Hu Tian heard this, she finally understood why Professor Zheng came today.

She wanted her to ask Lin Fan had researched biomedicine.

Hu Tian thought of the recent changes in Jiangbei University and felt a little relieved.

In the past, Jiangbei University's ace departments were biology, mathematics, chemistry, and physics.

Since last year, Lin Fan had solved Zhou's Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail Conjecture, and Hodge Conjecture. This made the mathematics department of Jiangbei University the top in Hua Nation and even the entire world.

Later on, Lin Fan invented the earthquake prediction device, which made the Physics Department shine all over the world.

Not long ago, the super battery was developed, which also made the Chemistry Department quite famous.

What about the former ace Biology Department of Jiangbei University?

In the past two years, they had also made some achievements.

However, compared to what Lin Fan had done, it was nothing.

In addition, they had been spending a lot of effort researching biomedicine, but there was no progress at all.

This made the entire Biology Department feel awkward and helpless.

After figuring out these things, a strange expression appeared on Hu Tian's face again.

Lin Fan was a mathematics student!

Why would Professor Zheng think of asking Lin Fan for help in biomedicine?

341 Teacher and Student Exchange; Welcome!

After a while, Hu Tian said, "Lin Fan is my student. My relationship with him is indeed not bad…"

"How about this? I'll ask him if he can come to the office."

"Thank you, Professor Hu." Professor Zheng was overjoyed.

If it were an ordinary student, Professor Zheng could have just gone over.

However, Lin Fan was clearly not an ordinary student.

Hu Tian reminded her, "It's just that I don't know if Lin Fan has studied biomedicine."

"It's okay, it's okay… As long as I can ask him," Professor Zheng hurriedly said.

Lin Fan, Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao had just walked to the teaching building when a clap of thunder suddenly sounded outside.

Then, it began to rain heavily.

"It must be some scumbag swearing again. Hurry up and strike him to death," Song Yi shouted.

Boom!

Suddenly, another loud thunder resounded through the world. It even caused the window at the side to shake, scaring Song Yi into shrinking his neck.

"It seems like the heavens have found their target." Zheng Jinbao laughed.

"I've always been very loyal!" Song Yi said. However, when he said this, he could not help but raise his head as if he was guarding against lightning.

At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan's pocket vibrated.

Hu Tian: [Lin Fan, are you free now? Can you come to my office?]

Lin Fan said: [I happen to be downstairs. I'm coming over now.]

Then, Lin Fan said to Song Yi and the rest, "You guys go to the classroom first… Teacher Tiantian is looking for me."

After saying that, he walked toward the office.

Teacher Tiantian!

Song Yi said, "I finally know why the heavens are thundering."

After saying that, he raised his head and shouted, "God, remember to aim better next time."

Boom!

A thunderclap rang out, causing everyone's eardrums to buzz. Song Yi was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

After a while, Lin Fan arrived at his office.

When he saw that there was a strange woman inside, he was slightly stunned.

Hu Tian first handed him a cup of coffee and then introduced, "This is Professor Zheng Qian from the Biology Department."

Professor Zheng quickly bent over and said excitedly, "Lin Fan, hello, hello."

"Hello, Professor Zheng," said Lin Fan.

If there were any outsiders here, they would have thought that Lin Fan was the teacher and Zheng Qian was the student.

"Professor Zheng, don't you have something to ask Lin Fan?"

When Lin Fan heard this, his face turned weird. What could she possibly ask him?

Professor Zheng quickly took out a stack of documents from her bag and said, "Lin Fan, this's a project that Professor Wu Tian and I have been working on since the year before before… 'Research on Restoring the Balance of Insulins in Diabetes'…

"However, after two years of research, Professor Wu Tian and I have encountered many problems. Here, here, and here… How should we resolve this?"

Diabetes?

Insulins?

She was asking Lin Fan?

He… He did not understand at all.

Suddenly, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! You've triggered a mission. Watch a biology experiment and read 'Introduction to Insulins', 'Treatment of Diabetics', 'Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutics', 'Pharmaceutics Technology', and 'Microbiology and Immunity Technology'. You'll receive Professor-Level Biology Experience, human islet recovery medicine, its manufacturing principle, and a complete thesis.]

When Lin Fan heard this, a weird look appeared on his face.

He had just encountered a problem with biomedicine, and in the blink of an eye, he had triggered the corresponding mission?

Professor Zheng saw that Lin Fan did not say anything for a long time and was not looking at the information. She thought that Lin Fan had not studied biomedicine and glucose. She could not help but sigh.

Even though she was already mentally prepared for this, after getting this result, she still felt a little depressed.

Was the Biology Department really going to fall?

Professor Zheng opened her mouth and was about to say something…

At this moment, Lin Fan said, "Bring me to the laboratory to see your experiment."

"Huh?"

Professor Zheng was slightly stunned.

Lin Fan said, "What? Is it inconvenient to watch the experiment? Do you need to keep this experiment a secret?"

After hearing Lin Fan speak again, Professor Zheng was overjoyed. "No, definitely not. Lin Fan, our laboratory is in front. This way, please…"

Lin Fan wanted to see the experiment, which proved that he had studied biomedicine and glucose!

This was good news for the Biology Department, absolutely good news!

In fact… Biomedicine experiments needed to be kept confidential, and they were very strict.

However, they could make an exception for Lin Fan.

They even wanted to invite Lin Fan over to take a look. be𝚍nove𝚕.com

Lin Fan did not leave the office immediately. Instead, he said, "Teacher Tiantian, I'll go to the biology laboratory to take a look."

Hu Tian nodded and said, "Professor Zheng, remember to tell Professor Wu Tian that diabetes is a problem of the century. It's not something that can be solved in a short period of time. Tell him not to be too hasty."

Obviously, she was taking precautions.

This was to prevent everyone from being unhappy if Lin Fan was not able to give any suggestions after watching the experiment.

When Professor Zheng heard this, her smile disappeared.

She also understood this principle, so she promised, "I'll be sure to relay Professor Wu Tian your message."

The weather in Jiangbei was like a woman's temper. It was suddenly stormy and suddenly peaceful.

When Lin Fan and Professor Zheng walked out of the office, the wind and rain had stopped. The sun was bright in the sky.

The two of them crossed the wet field and went straight to Training Building No. 2.

Walking in the spacious corridor, the air was faintly filled with a pungent smell, and there were muffled sounds coming from time to time.

When the door of the laboratory was pushed open, they saw three graduate students wearing medical protective clothing. They were doing experiments with their heads lowered.

They were so careful and focused that they did not even notice Lin Fan and Professor Zheng when they walked in.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses who had been focused on his computer seemed to have heard the sound and looked toward the door.

When he saw Professor Zheng, his expression did not change.

When he caught sight of Lin Fan, his murky eyes lit up.

He put down what he was doing and ran toward Lin Fan. He stretched out his hands and bowed slightly. He said excitedly, "Hello, Lin Fan. Welcome to our biology laboratory!"

342 Watch the Experiment; Mission Completed!

The middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses was Professor Wu Tian.

Wu Tian had a deep impression of Lin Fan. It could even be said that he admired Lin Fan.

A professor worshiping a student?

That was right!

Lin Fan solved several difficult math problems, invented the earthquake prediction device, super batteries, and so on.

In Wu Tian's eyes, Lin Fan was almost omnipotent.

Therefore, when the biomedicine project encountered an unsolvable problem, he immediately thought of Lin Fan.

That was why Zheng Qian went to ask Hu Tian for help today.

Since others were friendly to him, Lin Fan naturally would not put on airs.

"You must be Professor Wu Tian, right?"

"There's no professor in front of you," Wu Tian hurriedly said. "You can just call me Old Wu."

The three graduate students who were focused on their experiments heard their conversation and stopped what they were doing. They looked at Lin Fan curiously.

Almost everyone at Jiangbei University knew the name Lin Fan.

However, Lin Fan did not accept interviews.

Hence, there were very few people who knew what he looked like.

Suddenly being stared at by so many people, Lin Fan felt a little uncomfortable.

He coughed lightly and said, "Old… Wu…Forget it, I'll just call you Professor Wu.

"Professor Wu, can I watch you complete an experiment?"

Wu Tian did not hesitate at all and said directly, "The three of you, complete the experiment once. Remember, you must do it well!"

The three graduate students nodded vigorously. Then, they took a deep breath and started the experiment from the beginning with a more careful and focused expression.

They looked like soldiers who were about to be inspected.

This kind of biological experiment was very difficult to see with the naked eye.

Wu Tian pointed at the computer screen and said, "Lin Fan, please look here…"

The cells that were usually invisible were densely packed on the three screens.

In the beginning, the cells in the three screens were slowly wriggling in the solution.

However, as time passed, the cells squirmed slower and slower.

In the end, some of the cells were completely silent.

At this moment, the three graduate students injected three different liquids.

The cells on the first screen resumed squirming but soon stopped moving.

The cells on the other screen seemed to have gone crazy. They squirmed rapidly, but they stopped at an even faster speed.

The cells on the last screen did not respond at all.

Immediately after, red, blue, and yellow curves appeared on the screen.

The one-hour-long experiment ended.

Professor Wu Tian asked in an expectant tone, "Student Lin Fan, what do you think? How should I improve it?"

In fact, not only was Wu Tian looking forward to it, but Professor Zheng and the three graduate students were also looking forward to it.

Lin Fan did not reply immediately.

Instead, he placed his attention on the system mission

[Mission: Watch a biological experiment (1/1), read 'Introduction to Insulins', 'Treatment of Diabetics', 'Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutics', 'Pharmaceutics Technology', and 'Microbiology and Immunity Technology' (0/5). You'll be rewarded with Professor-Level Biology Experience, human islet recovery medicine, its manufacturing principle, and a complete thesis.]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan let out a satisfied look and said, "I'll go to the library first."

After saying that, he turned around and left, ignoring Wu Tian, Zheng Qian, and the others who were still in a daze.

After the heavy rain, the air in the library was filled with a sweet smell, making the library even more crowded than usual.

If an ordinary person came to the library, they would be like a drop of water merging into the sea. They would not be discovered at all.

However, Lin Fan was like a dazzling sun. As soon as he walked into the library, someone immediately came over to greet him.

"You're here," a female student said with a smile.

She was Lu Ling, whom Lin Fan had met several times in the library.

Today, Lu Ling was wearing a long blue dress and a pair of white shoes. She was like the blue sky and white clouds, looking very fresh.

Lin Fan smiled and nodded. "Yes."

"What books are you looking for this time?" Lu Ling asked. "Let me help you."

Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony. He said directly, "Introduction to Insulins, Treatment of Diabetics, Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutics Technology, and Microbiology and Immunity Technology."

"Is that the field of biomedicine? Over there." Lu Ling nodded and walked toward the bookshelf on the left.

Soon, a large row of books on biomedicine appeared in front of them.

Obviously, she was very familiar with the entire library.

With Lu Ling's help, they found the five books in a short while.

Then, Lu Ling led Lin Fan to the place where they usually sat.

Lin Fan did not waste time chatting. He picked up a book and started flipping through it.

For two minutes, the sound of a book being flipped could be heard. A book that was a hundred pages thick had been read from the beginning to the end.

Then, the second book, the third book…

Ten minutes later, he finally closed the last book.

At this point, he had finished reading all five books.

At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! Mission completed. Watch a biological experiment (1/1), read Introduction to Insulins, Treatment of Diabetics, Pharmaceutics and Pharmaceutics, Pharmaceutics Technology, and Microbiology and Immunity Technology (5/5). You'll be rewarded with Professor-Level Biological Experience, human islet recovery medicine, its manufacturing principle, and a complete thesis.]

Instantly, Lin Fan's mind was filled with a lot of knowledge about living things, especially about islets.

Lin Fan was not too surprised by this result. He just quietly accepted this knowledge.

Lu Ling saw that Lin Fan had finished reading all the books and could not help but ask, "Are you planning to study biology?"

She had seen Lin Fan quickly flip through books on different subjects several times. Every time he finished flipping through, he would solve a problem not long after… Or he would invent something that shocked the world.

Therefore, Lu Ling no longer naively thought that Lin Fan was just flipping through books for fun.

Lin Fan said, "I've already finished researching."

"Huh?" Lu Ling blinked her big eyes, her pretty face full of confusion.

Lin Fan did not continue to explain. He looked down at the questions on the table and asked, "Are there any questions you don't know?"

However, Lin Fan seemed to have helped her solve some questions every time she saw him.

It seemed to be true.

Lu Ling's pretty face turned slightly red, and she said in a soft voice, "Yes."

Having just completed his mission, Lin Fan was in a pretty good mood.

He picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the answers to the questions in front of him in an ingenious and detailed way.

343 Send; Become a Mine Owner!

Lin Fan's mind was filled with the biology knowledge that he had just obtained.

Therefore, he did not stay in school for long. Instead, he drove the Mercedes-Benz G-Class alone and went straight back to Coiling Dragon Villa.

On the coffee table in the living room, there was a stack of documents… 'Human Islet Recovery Medicine Technique."

Next to it were bottles of transparent liquid.

Obviously, this was the reward for completing the mission.

These bottles of transparent liquid were precisely the human islet recovery medicine.

Lin Fan thought about it and called out, "Lil White."

"Master, please give your instructions." The super smartwatch on his wrist made a crisp sound and flashed a gentle light.

Lin Fan's lips twitched. Where did this guy learn his lines from?

"Can you help me register the patent of the human islet recovery medicine?" As Lin Fan spoke, he waved the bottles and documents in his hands.

Even though Lin Fan did not lack money, directly contributing his technology was… He was not able to do so.

He was not a good person.

The super smartwatch shot out a red beam of light and scanned the documents and the human inlet recovery medicine.

"Of course, no problem."

Then, countless codes appeared on the super smart watch.

About ten minutes later, Lil White spoke again, "Master, I've already registered a global patent."

At the same time, electronic patent documents appeared on the screen of the super smart watch.

Lin Fan said, "Not bad."

"Thank you for your compliment, Master," said Lil White happily.

A smiley emoji appeared on its screen.

Lin Fan looked at the computer not far away and muttered, "Let's just write the thesis."

As he spoke, he strode forward.

Five seconds later, the computer turned on.

A series of extremely complicated papers appeared on the screen.

About an hour later, a complete thesis appeared!

Lin Fan wrote his name in the first author position.

Wu Tian and Zheng Qian were written as the second authors.

When he was working on the super battery thesis, Zhao Xueqin and Li Rongfa were the ones who showed Lin Fan the experiment.

Hence, Lin Fan put down their names as the second authors.

This time, Wu Tian and Zheng Qian let him watch the biological experiment. Naturally, Lin Fan would not be biased.

"I sent it to Science last time, so I'll send it to Nature this time."

Lin Fan muttered to himself. He found Nature's email and sent it.

Then, Lin Fan said, "Lil White, do the same as last time. Get the thesis approved in the shortest time possible."

"Leave it to me, Master!" Lil White said.

At this time, it was early in the morning in America.

Barry Aiken, the editor of Nature, was lying on a soft bed, sleeping soundly.

The next moment, the sound system, television, washing machine, and refrigerator in his house… All the electrical appliances that could make a sound rang out at the loudest volume.

Barry Aiken was so frightened that he stood up. His eyes widened as he cried out in surprise, "The machines have turned into monsters!"

Plop!

Then, he fell straight to the ground and fainted.

It was also at this moment that the electrical appliances in the room returned to normal.

This happened to Esmond Bevans, who was also an editor of Nature, as well… All the electrical appliances are ringing.

That night, the appliances in the homes of many Nature editors turned on automatically and made sounds.

Some editors fainted from fright, while others fell ill from fright… As for the chief editor, he found an email in his computer mailbox—Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine.

The next day, in the Humph University's biomedicine laboratory, under the leadership of several world-famous biomedicine professors, an extremely urgent experiment was carried out. 𝚋𝚎d𝚗ov𝚎𝚕.co𝚖

Lin Fan was completely oblivious to all of this.

He had just woken up from his dream and looked at his phone screen.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,532,102 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Lin Fan put his phone aside and muttered, "Let's see what I can get by signing in today."

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained the mountains in the southern suburbs of Jiangbei City.]

"Mountains in the southern suburbs? What's the use of this? I can't be the king of the mountains…" Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Forget it. It's better than ten million."

At this moment, Lin Fan's phone rang.

He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Liu Yuhang.

Lin Fan had a good impression of Liu Yuhang.

Firstly, if Liu Yuhang had not provided him with the information about the 100-year-old ginseng, Lin Fan would have had to spend a lot more time to obtain the 100-year-old ginseng and obtain the right to purchase Medical Water.

Secondly, Liu Yuhang's personality and character were both very good.

Therefore, Lin Fan pressed the answer button.

"Good morning, Brother Lin Fan! Did I disturb your rest?" As soon as the call connected, Liu Yuhang's loud voice came through.

Lin Fan said, "No, I've been up for a while."

"That's good!" Liu Yuhang said. "Brother Lin Fan, I have good news for you!"

"Good news?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

Liu Yuhang did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked, "Brother Lin Fan, the mountains in the southern suburbs of Jiangbei are under your name, right?"

Liu Yuhang already knew about the mountains when he had just acquired them?

Was he that resourceful?

Even though he was thinking this way, Lin Fan still replied, "Yeah, why?"

"It really is you, Brother Lin Fan! Hahaha! Brother Lin Fan, congratulations, you've found a mine in that mountain, a gold mine!" Liu Yuhang shouted excitedly.

He seemed happier than if he were to discover his own mine.

Lin Fan was stunned.

He never expected to find a gold mine in the mountains!

In that case, would he not become a legendary mine owner?

"Brother Lin Fan, according to the expert's estimation, the gold ore in your mountains is worth more than tens of billions of yuan!"

Initially, Lin Fan was a little curious and happy that he had become a mine owner.

After hearing Liu Yuhang's words, he became much calmer.

Worth tens of billions of yuan?

He owned several companies and buildings of the same value.

His shares in Little Tanuki Group and Penguin Group had reached more than a trillion!

He really did not need to care too much about a mere tens of billions of yuan.

Hence, Lin Fan said, "Is that so? Then my luck isn't bad."

He had obtained a gold mine worth tens of billions of yuan.

However, he only said one sentence. His luck was not bad?

Was this just 'not bad'?

This was great, alright?!

If it were someone else, they would probably jump up in joy!

However, Liu Yuhang thought about how Lin Fan had increased his funds by 400% in three days. He felt a little enlightened.

After all, for a financial genius, tens of billions were nothing, right? Yes, that should be it.

344 A Beautiful Woman Should Wear Beautiful Clothes; Crying! (1)

Today, when geologists discovered that there was a gold mine in the southern suburbs, it caused quite a stir in Jiangbei City.

Many people, including the Jiangbei government, wanted to get involved.

However, they soon discovered that the mountains had an owner.

The master's name was Lin Fan.

That was why Liu Yuhang had called Lin Fan.

Liu Yuhang and Lin Fan chatted for a while more before hanging up.

Lin Fan rubbed his chin and said, "A gold mine?"

After thinking for a moment, he dialed the number of the general manager of the Flying Dragon Security Company, Wang Shengli.

Wang Shengli seemed to have been waiting for the call. It rang once before it was immediately picked up.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. What can I do for you?" Wang Shengli said in an extremely respectful tone.

Lin Fan was quite satisfied with Wang Shengli.

The preparation of buses every time he and his coursemates gathered as well as how he handled the situation at the Hyatt Hotel previously showed that he had good work ability and attitude.

Lin Fan said, "I found a gold mine in the mountains in the southern suburbs. Do you have a way to mine it?"

When Wang Shengli heard this, his breathing became hurried.

Was Mr. Lin going to put him in an important position?

"Mr. Lin, I promise that I can extract all the gold!" he said excitedly.

"Good!" Lin Fan said.

After Lin Fan finished his breakfast, he drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class and headed straight for the KM mall.

He had made an appointment with Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling to go shopping together yesterday.

During this period of time, he was either in school, accompanying Ling Rou, or going to Li City to fetch Su Ningjing.

As a result, it had been a while since he had accompanied Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling.

At this moment, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling had already arrived at the entrance of the KM Mall.

Qiu Ziqian was wearing a colorful dress today. It complemented her voluptuous figure and snow-white skin. She looked like a fairy standing in the rainbow.

Huang Ling was wearing a light yellow dress. Her beautiful face and perfect figure were filled with warmth. She could melt people's hearts.

The two of them stood at the entrance like beautiful scenery, attracting the gazes of all the handsome men and beautiful women who came in and out.

At the same time, they also attracted the attention of a man with long back hair who was dressed in a white shirt. His name was Guo Zixiang.

Guo Zixiang was an ordinary white-collar worker.

Usually, his hair would be styled in a bowl cut and he would wear gold-rimmed glasses every day. He was a yes-man in the company.

Today…

He changed his style and did a hairstyle that he thought was handsome. He changed into fashionable black-rimmed glasses, raised his head, puffed out his chest, and walked forward with arrogance. He was very smug.

Last night, his father called to say that there was a mine in the mountain in front of their house—a gold mine!

After Guo Zixiang received the news, he immediately jumped up for joy.

A gold mine!

This meant… he would soon become a super-rich tycoon!

In the past, he had been submissive because he always felt that he was poor and inferior.

Now that he knew he was going to be rich, he was completely free.

The sleeping beast in his heart had finally awakened.

In the past, Guo Zixiang would never dare to strike up a conversation with a beautiful woman.

Today, however, he dared to!

Qiu Ziqian said, "Lin Fan should be here in a while. Let's go to the entrance and take a walk."

"Yes, yes!" Huang Ling said.

Hence, the two of them walked into the Chanel shop at the entrance.

"Welcome to Chanel." The saleswoman smiled and said, "May I help you?"

"We'll just take a look first," Qiu Ziqian said.

"Alright," the female sales assistant said.

Hence, Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling looked at the clothes one by one and compared them to the other. They were like children who had seen their favorite toy and their faces were full of smiles.

However, they did not notice that a man had been following behind them. It was Guo Zixiang.

It was Guo Zixiang's first time entering a Chanel store.

He first stole a glance at Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling. Then, he could not help but pick up two pieces of clothing to secretly look at the price.

28,999 yuan!

45,888 yuan!

Guo Zixiang was shocked and could not help but take two steps back.

The price was simply too expensive.

At this moment, Huang Ling suddenly noticed the blue garment of clothing that Guo Zixiang had just seen. The price was 28,999 yuan. She said, "That one seems pretty good."

When Guo Zixiang heard this voice, his entire person went a little limp.

Then, he suddenly thought of something.

He was now a super-rich tycoon!

It was just a dress that cost tens of thousands of yuan!

Thus, he raised his head again like a gentleman and took two steps forward. He picked up the piece of clothing that cost 28,999 yuan and smiled at Huang Ling. "Beautiful women should wear more expensive clothes."

Then, he turned to the salesperson and said, "Hello, please wrap this dress up."

After saying that, he handed over a bank card.

"Alright," the salesperson said.

She picked up the bank card and swiped it gently on the POS machine.

Beep!

A crisp sound rang out from the machine.

Then, the receipt appeared.

Guo Zixiang picked up the dress and handed it to Huang Ling, saying, "For you, pretty lady."

He felt that he was so cool now.

The beauty would definitely be touched beyond words.

Guo Zixiang even began to imagine… he and Huang Ling eating together and holding hands.

345 A Beautiful Woman Should Wear Beautiful Clothes; Crying! (2)

However… Huang Ling's voice quickly interrupted his imagination. "No need."

Guo Zixiang was not angry and said, "You don't have to be polite with me, pretty lady."

At this moment, a crisp sound came from the entrance of the shop.

"She's not being polite. If she likes it, I'll buy it for her."

This voice belonged to Lin Fan.

Qiu Ziqian's and Huang Ling's eyes lit up when they heard that.

Then, they rushed forward and hugged Lin Fan's arm tightly. They said happily, "Lin Fan!"

If it were in the past, Huang Ling would have been more reserved.

She would not hug Lin Fan with Qiu Ziqian in a crowded place.

However, after not seeing him for a while, Qiu Ziqian's longing for Lin Fan reached an uncontrollable level.

Therefore, she could not care less.

Seeing this…

Guo Zixiang froze.

W-What was going on?

These two beauties actually had a boyfriend!

Moreover, it seemed to be the same person!

Why?

Why?

Lin Fan did not care about that. He turned to the salesperson and said, "Help me wrap up all the clothes that they took a fancy to just now."

When Huang Ling and Qiu Zi heard this, they immediately felt as if they had eaten candy.

The salesperson was a little stunned and said, "T-There are a total of eight pieces of clothing. Do you want all of them?"

Lin Fan nodded. "Yes." 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝑜𝑟𝘨

"Yes, Sir," the salesperson said excitedly.

Eight pieces of clothing for less than 200,000 yuan. What a bargain!

Lin Fan took out his bank card.

Beep!

After a soft sound, the receipt appeared.

At the same time, 19 red packets appeared in Lin Fan's phone.

Then, Lin Fan held Huang Ling's left hand and Qiu Ziqian's right hand as they walked out together.

Only Guo Zixiang was left, holding a piece of clothing that cost 28,999 yuan. He was stunned.

The salesperson beside him saw that he had been standing in the shop without moving. She could not help but ask, "Sir, do you need any more help?"

Guo Zixiang came back to his senses and waved his hand repeatedly. "No, no, no. No need."

Then, he walked out of Chanel.

At this moment, Guo Zixiang's stomach growled.

He glanced at the barbecue restaurant in front of him and walked in.

Perhaps it was because he had just spent tens of thousands of yuan and had not succeeded in hitting on a beautiful woman, he wanted to eat something to vent his anger.

Perhaps it was because he had become a super-rich tycoon, so he wanted to indulge in high-quality beef.

Therefore, Guo Zixiang ordered a lot of dishes for this meal.

He was very satisfied.

Guo Zixiang burped and wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth. "Waiter, the bill, please!"

"Hello, that's 799 yuan in total," the waiter said.

In the past, Guo Zixiang's heart would definitely hurt if he spent 799 yuan on a meal.

Today, he was very relaxed.

After all, he was now a super-rich tycoon.

Hence, he casually took out his bank card.

The waiter took the bank card and gently swiped it on the POS machine, but soon, there was an urgent series of beeps.

"I'm sorry, but your bank card has insufficient funds," the waiter said.

"Insufficient funds?" Guo Zixiang frowned. "How is that possible?"

However, he quickly remembered that he only had 46,000 yuan on his card.

He had just used 45,888 yuan to buy a Chanel dress. It seemed normal that his card had insufficient funds.

Then, Guo Zixiang took out his phone and looked at his WeChat balance—1.3 yuan.

He could not help but cough and say, "Uhh… Waiter, wait a moment. I'll make a call first."

"Alright," the waiter replied.

After saying that, he walked to the side.

However, the waiter's eyes were fixed on Guo Zixiang.

It was obvious that he was trying to prevent him from escaping.

Guo Zixiang did not notice this. He dialed his father's number directly.

After two rings, the call was connected.

"Zixiang, why are you calling?" His father's slightly hoarse voice came from the phone. At the same time, there was a dull rumble.

"Dad, what's that sound?" Guo Zixiang asked.

"Didn't I say yesterday that a gold mine was discovered in the mountains? So the machines are here to mine!" Guo An said. As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

Guo Zixiang had never liked his father spitting. He thought it was very disgusting.

However, at this moment, he thought he heard the sound of nature.

He… He was finally going to become a super-rich tycoon!

"Really?" Guo Zixiang said excitedly. "They're already here to mine? Dad, transfer me a few hundred thousand yuan first."

"What? What did you say, you son of a b*tch?!" Guo An shouted.

Guo Zixiang said, "Transfer me a few hundred thousand! Since we've found a gold mine, our family should get at least tens of millions, right?"

"Who told you that we're going to get tens of millions?!" Guo An shouted. "Bullsh*t! What does it have to do with us that someone else discovered a gold mine?"

Guo Zixiang was stunned for a moment and said, "D-Didn't Grandpa say that the mountains belong to our family?"

"Your grandfather also said that he was a commander in the past!" Guo An shouted. "He was just a soldier on the front lines!"

Guo Zixiang's heart turned slightly cold. Immediately after, he said, "But… But didn't our family use to farm in the mountains?"

Guo An sneered. "I've pooped in the park before. Does that mean the park is mine too? Is there anything else?" Guo An asked. "If there's nothing else, I'll go and look at the excavators!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Guo Zixiang held his phone and was in a daze.

No…

There was no gold mine in his family.

He was no longer a super-rich tycoon.

There was nothing else.

Everything was gone.

When he slowly lowered his head and saw the Chanel dress that he had spent 45,888 yuan on, his eyes turned slightly red as he started crying.

At this moment, the waiter walked over and said, "Excuse me, sir. Are you going to pay now?"

Lin Fan, Qiu Ziqian, and Huang Ling had no idea what Guo Zixiang had experienced.

The three of them chatted as they shopped. They were very relaxed and happy.

When they left the mall, they bought 20 pieces of clothing, six pairs of shoes, and three bags. It was a fruitful trip.

At night, Lin Fan brought Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling to Tribute Garden Restaurant.

Dozens of waiters had already lined up in two rows to welcome them.

The luxurious private room was filled with rose petals and swaying candlelight, forming a big heart. On the huge dining table, there were many tempting delicacies and wine.

When the three of them walked into the room, fireworks exploded outside the French windows, forming a dazzling heart shape.

Flowers, delicacies, wine, fireworks… It was like a dream.

Qiu Ziqian's and Huang Ling's beautiful eyes flickered along with the candlelight.

This meal was filled with happiness.

When Lin Fan brought Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling back to Yi Ke City…

Qiu Ziqian and Huang Ling could not hold themselves back anymore and pounced into Lin Fan's embrace.

This night was destined to be sleepless.

After that, Lin Fan stayed in Yi Ke City for two days.

It was not until the third day that he returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa.

He sat on the soft sofa and looked at the 302 red packets on the screen. He muttered, "302? Let's see what I can get.

"Open them all!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained two yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,999 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 888 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained a car—Cullinan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 334 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained a one yuan critical hit card.]

The 302 red packets were obtained by spending 3.02 million yuan.

After opening these red packets, Lin Fan received a total of 89,112 yuan, a Cullinan, and a one yuan critical hit card.

Cullinan's price was nine million.

As for the one yuan critical hit card, he could earn 100 million yuan if he spent one yuan!

Regarding this… Lin Fan's expression did not change at all.

He was still sitting on the sofa and playing with his phone.

After two days of hard work…

That night, Lin Fan slept very comfortably and soundly.

346 Published in Nature!

Lin Fan slept comfortably and soundly…

The medical and pharmaceutical industry, on the other hand, was in an uproar as if a level 12 storm had been set off.

This was because there was a new paper published in Nature—Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine.

Gray Rui Medical Group, America.

The president, Jonathan Darwin, stared at the screen with his sharp eyes.

The two technical directors were like puppets, holding their breaths and standing at the side.

After a long time, Jonathan Darwin slowly said, "What do you guys think?"

The technical director who wore gold-rimmed glasses said, "Last night, I conducted an experimental analysis based on the paper. The data is completely consistent."

The taller fair-skinned technical director said, "This paper was jointly tested by Professor Mantis, Professor Harvin, Professor Roslev, and other professors from the University of California. They did a total of ten sets of data, and each set of data matched the paper."

Jonathan Darwin said, "So you're saying that this human islet recovery medicine can really treat diabetes?"

The two technical directors looked at each other and nodded. "From the current data, that's indeed the case."

Jonathan Darwin got up and paced back and forth in his office.

After a while, he picked up the phone on the table and said, "Arnie, contact Lin Fan, the author of Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine, as soon as possible. I want to obtain the patent for the human islet recovery medicine at all costs. At the very least, I want to obtain the rights to develop and sell the patent!"

Jonathan Darwin was the CEO of Gray Rui Group, one of the world's top pharmaceutical companies. He knew very well what this medicine meant.

Some people said that AIDS was the most terrifying. There were tens of millions of people suffering from AIDS worldwide, and hundreds of thousands of people died from AIDS every year.

The number of people suffering from diabetes in the world had reached hundreds of millions. Almost every second, several people died of diabetes.

In the medical world, the danger and importance of diabetes could definitely be ranked in the top ten diseases!

Now, someone had actually developed a drug to treat diabetes. To pharmaceutical companies, this was like a nuclear weapon!

Therefore, not only Gray Rui Group but other powerful groups like Luo Shi Group were making similar moves.

Lin Fan did not care about any of this.

When the dazzling sunlight shone through the cracks of the trees and onto the ground like a dazzling star, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes.

Out of habit, he glanced at his phone. A text message had already appeared on the screen.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,000,000 yuan.]

Lin Fan ignored the message and yawned. He slowly got up, washed up, and ate breakfast.

When Lin Fan walked out and opened the door, a tall and sturdy car appeared at the door.

It was a Cullinan, which he had obtained yesterday.

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction. "This car looks good. I'll drive it today."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan opened the car door and sat inside.

The soft leather seats, the carbon fiber panels, and the steering wheel that was full of texture, coupled with the dazzling starry ceiling, gave people a luxurious and comfortable experience.

Boom!

He stepped on the accelerator, and the V12 with 571 horsepower made the entire car roar like a dragon.

About 20 minutes later, Lin Fan arrived at Jiangbei University.

Lin Fan had just parked his car when Song Yi, Ma Zhong, and Zheng Jinbao happened to pass by with their school bags.

"A Cullinan! Brother Lin Fan, you changed cars again?" Song Yi's eyes widened like light bulbs.

Zheng Jinbao said excitedly, "The appearance of it is too domineering!"

Ma Zhong did not say anything, but he stared at Cullinan without blinking.

Obviously, he was also very fascinated.

"Brother Lin Fan, can we go in and take a look?" Song Yi asked.

Lin Fan smiled. "Of course. Why are you being so polite with me?" 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝐧𝗲𝘁

"Alright!" Song Yi said happily.

Zheng Jinbao and Ma Zhong… could not wait to get into the Cullinan either.

"The seats are too comfortable!"

"A starry sky!"

"Is this an umbrella that costs 100,000 yuan?"

The three of them touched each corner of the car, occasionally letting out a sigh of praise.

After a long time, they reluctantly left the Cullinan.

"Brother Lin Fan, where have you been these past few days?" Song Yi asked. "Were you busy getting this Cullinan?"

"That's not true. Someone sent the Culinan directly to my house… In the past few days, I wrote a thesis and got a piece of land," Lin Fan said.

In Lin Fan's eyes, the mountains… also belonged to the earth.

Therefore, there was nothing wrong with saying that he got a piece of land.

However, when Song Yi and the others heard it, they were puzzled.

"Is it a very big piece of land?" Ma Zhong asked.

"It's quite big," Lin Fan said in a relaxed manner. "The mountains in the southern suburbs are mine now."

Silence.

The entire scene was suddenly silent.

Ma Zhong, Song Yishang, and Zheng Jinbao were stunned.

Lin Fan had taken ownership of a giant piece of land!

"Brother Lin Fan, I'll kneel before you," Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and Ma Zhong said in unison.

Just as Lin Fan and the others walked into the classroom, an excited voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

"Lin Fan!"

Lin Fan turned around slowly. It was Professor Zheng Qian and Professor Wu Tian from the Biology Department.

"Lin Fan, your Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine has been published in Nature!" Professor Zheng Qian said excitedly.

As soon as he said this…

The noisy classroom immediately quieted down because there was no class.

They did not know what the Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine represented or what kind of paper it was.

However, everyone had heard of Nature!

If an ordinary student published a thesis on Nature, they would definitely be able to get a postgraduate degree, a Ph.D. degree, or stay in school!

If an ordinary teacher published a thesis on Nature, they would be promoted to a full professor!

If they remembered correctly, Lin Fan had just published a paper in Science not long ago, right?

Now, he had published a paper on Nature?

They were all humans, so why was there such a huge difference between them?

Wu Tian said, "Lin Fan, we didn't do anything, but you wrote our names as the second authors. We… We don't deserve it."

At the mention of this matter, Wu Tian's face was filled with shame and admiration.

Back then, when he encountered many unsolvable problems in his experiment on the hormone, he thought of Lin Fan immediately.

Lin Fan did not say much after he arrived at the laboratory.

At that time, Wu Tian was still a little confused. Perhaps Lin Fan really did not have much knowledge about glucose.

However, in just a few days, Lin Fan published a complete research paper on islets in Nature.

Looking at it now, Lin Fan did not say anything after he finished watching the experiment because his experiment was full of mistakes. He did not know where to start!

347 I've Already Made It; Choose!

"Yeah, we don't deserve it."

Back then, when he encountered many unsolvable problems in the experiment, Professor Wu Tian kept asking Zheng Qian to ask Lin Fan for help.

At that time, Zheng Qian felt that Wu Tian was desperate.

Yes, Lin Fan was indeed an incredible genius.

He solved several math problems and invented the earthquake prediction device and the super battery.

However, nobody was perfect. Lin Fan could not possibly be perfect in every aspect, right?

After all, she had never heard of him doing any research or having any achievements in biomedicine.

However…

Due to Professor Wu Tian's repeated pleas, Zheng Qian had the mentality of fulfilling his wishes. That was why she found Hu Tian and met Lin Fan a few days ago.

Who would have thought that in just a few days, Lin Fan would write the Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine and successfully publish it on Nature?!

Lin Fan even wrote her and Professor Wu Tian's names as the second authors.

If the data from the Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine were used to develop the hormone recovery medicine, it would be possible for patients to be cured completely.

This was definitely a thesis worthy of winning the Nobel Prize!

Her name had appeared as the second author of the Nobel Prize-level thesis…

When Zheng Qian thought of this, she was so excited that her face turned red.

Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "If you hadn't let me watch that experiment, I wouldn't have been able to write this thesis. So, it's normal for me to write your names."

Lin Fan was definitely not spouting nonsense.

After all, watching the biology experiment was one of the conditions to complete the mission.

"You're too humble," Wu Tian said. "Even if you hadn't watched the experiment, you would've still gotten inspiration from somewhere."

Obviously, he thought that Lin Fan had been inspired by the experiment, which helped him write the thesis.

When solving some difficult problems, some people would suddenly have a flash of inspiration when they were eating, talking, or seeing something. Thus, they could easily solve difficult problems… Such examples were not rare.

It was counselor Sun Yaodong!

"Lin Fan, that's great. So you're in school!" Sun Yaodong said happily after seeing Lin Fan.

He walked in front of Lin Fan and patted his shoulder. "Not bad, not bad! You published a paper in Science a while ago, and now you've published a paper in Nature too…

"Back then, I graduated too early. Otherwise, I would have done the same."

When Sun Yaodong said this, his face faintly revealed a touch of aftertaste and regret.

It was as if he could publish a paper in Nature and Science if he hadn't graduated so soon.

Professor Wu Tian could not help but cough.

Only then did Sun Yaodong notice that Wu Tian and Zheng Qian were also in the classroom. He could not help but say awkwardly, "Uh… Lin Fan, Chancellor Shen Liang wants to invite you to his office."

Lin Fan said," Alright, I'll go over now."

As he spoke, he walked out.

After Lin Fan left, Wu Tian, Zheng Qian, and Sun Yaodong did not have any intention of staying in the classroom.

Instantly, the entire classroom was filled with heated discussions.

"F*ck! Brother Lin Fan is too awesome!"

"Brother Lin Fan!!!"

"Excuse me, where can I get a copy of Nature?"

Lin Fan was completely unaware of the reactions of the students in the classroom.

At this moment, he had already arrived outside the chancellor's office.

He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door a few times.

Soon, a deep voice sounded from inside. "Please come in!"

When Lin Fan heard that, he pushed open the door.

At this moment, there were two people sitting in the office. One of them was Chancellor Shen Liang.

The other person was someone whom Lin Fan had interacted with before, the director of the Academy of Sciences, Feng Yuxiang.

"Lin Fan, you're here. Sit down." Shen Liang said with a smile. As he spoke, he even personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Fan.

Shen Liang was the chancellor of Jiangbei University. In terms of rank, he was not inferior to the leaders of Jiangbei University.

Now, however, he was personally pouring tea for Lin Fan.

One could imagine how high Lin Fan's position was in Shen Liang's heart.

"Hello, Lin Fan. Do you still remember me?" Feng Yuxiang said.

"Hello, Director Feng." Lin Fan nodded.

"It's great that you remember me. I don't like to beat about the bush, so I'll be straightforward."

"Actually, I came from Jingbei today to look for you," Feng Yuxiang said. "I heard that you published a paper in Nature called Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine."

Lin Fan looked at Feng Yuxiang in surprise. This news spread really fast.

Then, he nodded.

"Then are you confident in developing a drug to treat diabetes?" Feng Yuxiang asked directly.

After saying this, he held his breath and pricked up his ears. His eyes stared at Lin Fan without blinking.

It was because this matter… was too important!

"You want to develop a medicine to treat diabetes?" Lin Fan asked.

"Yes!" Feng Yuxiang said.

"I've already done it," Lin Fan said.

Whoosh!

Feng Yuxiang stood up abruptly and said in a trembling voice, "You… You mean… You've already invented it?"

"Yes," Lin Fan said.

Then, he took out the human islet recovery medicine from his pocket.

Feng Yuxiang said, "This… This is…"

"This is the human islet recovery medicine. It can be used to treat diabetic patients," Lin Fan said.

Although Feng Yuxiang had already guessed it, he was still extremely excited after getting Lin Fan's confirmation. He said excitedly, "Good, good, good! Haha!"

After a while, Feng Yuxiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "Can I take this with me?"

"No problem," Lin Fan said.

Feng Yuxiang held the medicine tightly in his arms as if he were holding a peerless treasure, afraid that it would fall to the ground and shatter.

"There's one more thing… Lin Fan, can I ask you for a favor? Can you try to let a Hua Nation company be the main sales channel for this human islet recovery medicine?" Feng Yuxiang said. "Of course, you can also register your own company for sales. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

"I also know that this may be a little difficult for you, but the country will give you some convenience and compensation."

The pharmaceutical companies in Hua Nation could only be considered above average internationally.

As a result, many drugs were often snatched by foreign countries.

If Lin Fan was able to let a Hua Nation company be in charge of the human islet recovery medicine, then it was definitely good news for the medical industry in Hua Nation!

However, Lin Fan might lose some benefits.

This was because once this drug appeared, countless foreign pharmaceutical giants would definitely pay a sky-high price to buy the agency rights.

Lin Fan naturally understood what Feng Yuxiang meant.

A sky-high price?

10 billion?

100 billion?

Sorry, he really did not lack it.

Hence, Lin Fan said, "Forget it. If I register my own company, that'll be too troublesome… As for letting a Hua Nation company take charge of the medicine…"

Suddenly, Lin Fan thought of Liu Yuhang, who had called him yesterday.

Did Liu Yuhang and Sun Luguo not own pharmaceutical companies?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan continued, "I've already thought of some Hua Nation companies that I can work with."

Feng Yuxiang stood up, bent over, and said in an extremely solemn tone, "Thank you, Lin Fan!"

348 Success; Cooperation Plan! (1)

This 'thank you' was for Lin Fan giving up his interests for the sake of the country.

At the same time, he was also thanking Lin Fan on behalf of the millions of people with diabetes in Hua Nation.

Feng Yuxiang did not stay at Jiangbei University for long. He took the human islet recovery medicine and took the fastest flight to Jingbei.

After arriving in Jingbei, he rushed to the Academy of Sciences.

Along the way, some experts and academicians greeted him.

In the past, Feng Yuxiang would return their greetings one by one.

However, today, it was as if he did not hear them. He simply walked over with large strides.

When he arrived at the Medical Research Institute, Feng Yuxiang called out, "Academician Wang, Academician Li, I just got this from Lin Fan. Quickly test it and see if it has any effect on diabetes."

Academician Wang's expression changed. He said in disbelief, "Director Feng, you mean Lin Fan… has already developed it?"

"Yes!" Feng Yuxiang nodded vigorously.

"Quick, let me see!" Academician Li said.

Then, Academician Wang and Academician Li held the bottle of transparent solution and carefully studied it.

Five hours passed.

"Rat A's blood sugar and hormone levels have stabilized!"

"Rat B's blood sugar and hormone levels have stabilized!"

"Rat C's blood sugar and plasma level are stable!"

"Rat D's blood sugar and plasma level have stabilized!"

12 hours passed.

"Rat A's blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!"

"Rat B's blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!"

"Rat D's blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!"

24 hours passed.

"Rat A's blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!"

"Rat B's blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!"

"Rat C's blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!"

"Rat D's blood sugar and hormone levels are stable!"

The white mice were all specially fed and thus suffered from severe diabetes.

Under normal circumstances, not to mention 24 hours, even after five hours, the body's hormones and blood sugar would definitely be abnormal.

Now, after 24 hours, everything was still normal!

This was enough to prove that… the human islet recovery medicine had a healing effect!

Academician Wang and Academician Li were stunned when they heard the results.

They had thought that… the human islet recovery medicine might have a certain effect.

However, they had never thought that the effect would be so obvious!

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Feng Yuxiang could not help but ask, "How is it?"

"It's a success!" Academician Li said.

"Hahaha! Great! That's great!" Feng Yuxiang said excitedly.

In Jiangbei City, there were green grass and trees by the lake. There was an open space of nearly 2,000 square meters.

The Liu family's villa was located here.

Liu Sifang, who had a head full of flowery hair, was reading the Nature journal in his hand seriously with his presbyopic glasses.

After a long while, he sighed. "In the past, I always thought that my medical skills were not bad. In the end, let alone curing diabetes, I can't understand even when I'm reading an article on the treatment of diabetes… I really have to admit that I'm old."

Liu Yi, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, said, "This article is written using Western medicine terms. It's not your fault."

Liu Sifang shook his head noncommittally.

Liu Chuang, who had a full beard, said, "Old Master, what you meant just now was… The medicine for diabetes has been successfully developed?"

Liu Sifang said, "I consulted some people today. It should be… The name seems to be human islet recovery medicine."

"I'm afraid that all the large pharmaceutical companies in the country and abroad will fight for this medicine," Liu Chuang said.

"Yes, according to the information I received, Gray Rui, Qiang Da, Yunbei Baiyao, Sheng Sheng Tang, and many other top pharmaceutical companies have already prepared a large number of funds to get the sales rights in one go," Liu Sifang said.

The entire hall fell into a short silence. All of them revealed a look of desire and helplessness.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside.

"Dad, Grandpa, Uncle," Liu Yuhang called out. "Do you know about the human islet recovery medicine?"

"Oh?" Liu Sifang could not help but laugh. "Since when did my Yuhang pay so much attention to medical news? Not bad, not bad!"

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup and prepared to take a few sips.

Liu Yuhang said, "This is the medicine that Brother Lin Fan invented. He said that he wants our family and the Sun family to sell it together."

Pfft!

Liu Si spat out the tea in his mouth.

Then, he, Liu Chuang, and Liu Yi stood up from their seats. Their eyes were wide open, and their faces were filled with disbelief.

The Imperial Hotel, VIP room.

Liu Sifang, Liu Yi, Liu Chuang, Liu Yuhang, and the other core members of the Liu family, as well as Sun An, Sun Qingquan, Sun Luguo, and the other core members of the Sun family, were all gathered together.

They chatted with each other from time to time, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

If there were other senior executives of pharmaceutical companies in Jiang Province present, they would definitely be so shocked that their jaws would drop to the ground after seeing this scene.

One had to know…

People of the same trade were enemies.

Liu Medical Company and Sun Medical Company were both first-class pharmaceutical companies in Jiang Province.

Due to this, the two families had always been like fire and water, constantly competing for the market. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦

It was already good enough that the Liu and Sun families did not fight. How could they ever have a meal together?

349 Success; Cooperation Plan! (2)

This was also the reason why Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang often quarreled.

However, what was the situation now?

Ordinary people naturally did not know that the reason why such a thing happened was because of a young man—Lin Fan!

At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded not far away.

As the door to the private room was pushed open, a tall and handsome young man appeared in everyone's field of vision.

It was Lin Fan!

"Brother Lin Fan!" Liu Yuhang and Sun Luguo shouted at the same time.

At the same time, Liu Sifang, Liu Yi, Sun An, Sun Qing Quan, and the others all stood up.

"Mr. Lin, welcome. Please take a seat."

As for where he sat, Lin Fan did not have many requirements.

After all, no matter where he sat, they were just eating normally.

Therefore, he did not decline too much and directly sat in the main seat.

Liu Sifang said, "Mr. Lin, Yuhang often mentions you in front of us. You have superb driving skills and excellent chess skills. In just three days, you achieved a staggering 400% profit in a god-level operation in the stock market!"

As Liu Sifang said this, his wrinkled old face was filled with admiration.

After a while, he praised, "You're indeed extraordinary after seeing you today!"

He was not exaggerating.

Ever since Lin Fan walked into the room, Liu Sifang had been observing him silently.

Ordinary young people would definitely feel uneasy in front of them.

However, Lin Fan remained calm and collected. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝒈

Just this temperament alone was not something ordinary people could compare to.

Sun An said, "I'm not very good at car racing or finance, but I like chess. Mr. Lin, how about we play a few rounds in the future?"

Lin Fan said, "Of course."

"Alright, haha!" Sun An said happily.

Exquisite dishes were served by the waiters.

The general manager of the Imperial Hotel, Wang Fengyi, was holding a bottle of 2003 Lafite. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Lin Fan, who was sitting in the main seat. He could not help but say in surprise, "Mr. Lin!"

Lin Fan smiled and nodded at him.

For Wang Fengyi to become the general manager of the Imperial Hotel in Jiangbei… In other words, all the big shots and powers in Jiang Province had a certain level of understanding of the situation.

Among them, Sun Medical Company and Liu Medical Company were very important in Jiangbei and even the entire Jiang Province. Wang Fengyi naturally knew about them.

When he found out that Sun Medical Company and Liu Medical Company, which had always been opposing each other, had gathered together to treat someone to a meal, it really surprised Wang Fengyi.

However, after seeing Lin Fan, Wang Fengyi had a look of realization.

To Wang Fengyi, no matter how unbelievable it was, as long as it Lin Fan was involved, it was nothing.

He suddenly understood, but Sun An, Liu Sifang, and the others were somewhat puzzled.

The general manager of the Imperial Hotel seemed to be very familiar with Lin Fan?

"Manager Wang, you also know Mr. Lin?" Liu Sifang could not help but ask.

Wang Fengyi was a little hesitant about whether he should tell the truth.

That was because he did not know if Lin Fan wanted the people in the room to know his identity.

Lin Fan naturally understood Wang Fengyi's concerns. He could not help but laugh. "I'm the owner of the Imperial Hotel."

Hiss!

Everyone in the room gasped.

One had to know…

The Imperial Hotel was a landmark building in Jiangbei, and its overall cost was more than ten billion yuan.

He owned a billion-dollar hotel!

Lin Fan was just a young man in his 20s.

This… How incredible was this?

However, how could they have known that the Imperial Hotel was merely one of Lin Fan's many businesses?

The Sun family and Liu family had only thought of Lin Fan as a genius researcher.

At this moment, they felt that Lin Fan was tall and mysterious.

As the dishes were placed on the table one after another, Liu Sifang raised his wine glass and said, "Today, I'm very happy to be able to invite Mr. Lin for a meal…

"I propose that we all raise our glasses to Mr. Lin."

"To Mr. Lin!"

Everyone present raised their glasses and drank the wine in their glasses.

As the wine went down their throats, the atmosphere became even more intense.

"During this period of time, Luguo has grown a lot under your influence. Mr. Lin, thank you," Sun An said.

After saying that, he raised his glass again.

Lin Fan smiled. "How did I affect anything? I'm friends with Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang. Old Master, you don't have to be so polite to me. You don't have to call me Mr. Lin either. Just call me Lin Fan."

"Alright, haha!" Sun An and Liu Sifang said happily.

In this banquet, Lin Fan was undoubtedly the main character. There were countless people toasting and chatting with him.

Finally, Liu Sifang felt that it was about time, so he told him the purpose of the banquet.

"Lin Fan, I heard from Yuhang and Luguo that you've developed a human islet recovery medicine and want to hand it over to Liu Medical Group and Sun Medical Group to sell?"

Everyone pricked up their ears when they heard this.

This matter… was of great importance to them.

If they could really become an agent, then Sun Medical Company and Liu Medical Company might become famous pharmaceutical companies in the country or even the world!

This was definitely an opportunity to reach the heavens in a single step!

Lin Fan said casually, "Yes."

Instantly, everyone in the private room began to breathe rapidly.

It was true!

It was true!

"Then…" Sun An asked. "I wonder if you have a plan to act as an agent?"

Lin Fan said, "No… It's too troublesome to prepare for that. Do you have a plan?"

This was the truth.

If he was not afraid of trouble, Lin Fan could have started his own pharmaceutical company to sell the medicine.

Sun An and Liu Sifang looked at each other.

After a while, Sun An said, "In fact, we have a preliminary plan. I'll tell you about it first. If you're not satisfied with anything, you can propose changes."

"Alright," said Lin Fan.

"Sun Medical Company and Liu Medical Company will provide the production plant for the human islet recovery medicine. We'll also be in charge of the advertising, sales, and so on. We'll take a total of 40% of the profits. Lin Fan, you don't have to do anything and you can directly have 60% of the profits of the human islet recovery medicine…

"We will send you all the sales data regularly. You can check it at any time," Sun An said.

There was no cost and no risk. 60% of the profits would be directly obtained from the technology. Overall, it was a very sincere plan.

Thus, Lin Fan said, "Sure."

Originally, Liu Sifang and Sun An thought that Lin Fan would think for a long time after hearing the proposal.

Perhaps… He would even ask for a few more percentage points.

However, they did not expect Lin Fan to say yes so easily.

He agreed?

This… Did he not even think about it?

Sun An and Liu Sifang had experienced many things.

At this moment, however, they could not help but be stunned.

Sun An swallowed his saliva and said, "Lin… Lin Fan, you mean…"

"What you said just now is fine," Lin Fan said.

In fact, Lin Fan knew that even if he asked for a few more points, it would not be a problem.

However, there was no need.

It was just a few points. Lin Fan did not take it to heart at all.

As long as he did not have to trouble himself, it was fine.

As for the finances, it did not matter even if the Sun and Liu families did not send the data and reports over.

Lin Fan had the super smart watch, Lil White. He could easily find out about the situation.

After getting Lin Fan's confirmation, Sun An and Liu Sifang still felt that it was not real.

The human islet recovery medicine that was enough to make Sun Medical Company and Liu Medical Company soar to the sky was in this man's hands.

Liu Yuhang said, "Brother Lin Fan, please don't give the Liu and Sun families any benefits just because of me and Sun Luguo."

"Yeah, Brother Lin Fan. There's no need," Sun Luguo followed.

Lin Fan smiled. "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Thank you, Brother Lin Fan!" Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang said sincerely.

They understood what kind of benefits Lin Fan had brought them.

Lin Fan smiled. "What are you thanking me for? It's just a small matter!"

Suddenly, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! You've completed the hidden mission—brotherhood. You've received two golden packets.]

Lin Fan was stunned.

Brotherhood?

This… It should be Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang.

In other words, not only could he obtain 60% of the profits of the human islet recovery medicine, but he even got two golden packets?

This banquet was not bad!

350 Constitution Enhancement; Let's Go Home!

Now, the cooperation was successful, and he had even received two golden packets.

Everyone from the Sun family and the Liu family, as well as Lin Fan, were in a good mood. The atmosphere of the banquet became even more lively.

When Lin Fan returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa, it was already two hours later.

He sat on the soft sofa and played with his phone for a while.

After a while, he turned his attention to the golden packets.

"Let's see what I can get," Lin Fan muttered.

"Open!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 800,000 yuan.]

[Ding! [Congratulations, you've received a Constitution Enhancement Potion.]

Seeing this, Lin Fan's eyes lit up.

Not long ago, he had obtained a bottle of Constitution Enhancement Potion. After drinking it, his strength, speed, and other aspects had obviously increased greatly.

This was definitely something good.

He did not expect to obtain another bottle so quickly.

When Lin Fan raised his head, he saw a bottle of transparent liquid on the coffee table.

This… It was the Constitution Enhancement Potion that he had just obtained.

Without any hesitation, Lin Fan downed it.

Similar to the last time, it was as if a warm current had flowed through his heart.

At the same time, his entire body was filled with endless power.

Lin Fan jumped up lightly. His entire body seemed to have lost all gravity as he flew toward the ceiling.

Luckily, Lin Fan reacted quickly and blocked it with his hand.

Otherwise, his head would have made contact with the ceiling.

One had to know…

The height of the Coiling Dragon Villa was more than five meters. In other words, Lin Fan easily jumped over five meters!

With the 100% Hidden Weapon Skill and his current strength, the dart instantly passed through the bullseye and completely sank into the wall.

Simply… terrifying!

Even Lin Fan was stunned.

'Am I that strong now?'

While Lin Fan was in a daze, in the female dormitory of Jiangbei University.

Zhao Ni took a bottle of iced Coke and strode in. She saw Xia Bing and Xia Xue reading on the table.

"Studying again?"

In fact, she was just asking casually.

However, in the next moment, Zhao Ni's tone changed slightly as she said in surprise, "Huh? This is bio… medicine? When did you start researching this?"

One had to know…

During this period of time, Xia Bing and Xia Xue, the two computer geniuses, had been studying chemistry hard every day.

This already made Zhao Ni very puzzled.

It took her a long time to slowly accept this.

Now, they had changed their focus to biomedicine?

Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded gently and said softly, "Yes… That's right."

Zhao Ni looked at it for a while before rubbing her head. "After learning computer science, you learned chemistry. Now, it's biology… Is this the world of top students?"

She shook her head and walked toward the bathroom.

Xia Bing and Xia Xue slowly turned their attention to the paper in Nature titled Principles of Human Islet Recovery Medicine.

After that, they focused even more on biomedicine.

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend.

Today, the sun was shining brightly, and there was a gentle breeze.

Lin Fan drove the Cullinan toward Qing City.

Back then, when Lin Fan was still at work, no matter how busy he was, he would take the time to visit his parents and sister.

Now that he was just at school, he had to go home more often.

About an hour later, he arrived at the front of Fourth Street.

Lin Fan had just parked his car when he heard Lin Xiaoyao's crisp voice not far away.

"Brother!"

Then, Lin Xiaoyao jogged and pounced on him.

Lin Fan said, "You've gotten lighter again. Your face has become smaller. It's full of bones when I pinch it. Hurry up and eat more!"

"Brother!" Lin Xiaoyao said angrily.

Lin Tao, who was beside them, smiled. "Alright, go in. Your mother should have prepared dinner."

Sure enough, just as he said, the meal was ready.

Shredded pork with green pepper, chicken soup, glutinous rice fish, hot and sour shredded potatoes, sweet and sour pork ribs, cucumber ham, tomato scrambled eggs… Six dishes and a soup filled the table. The appearance, fragrance, and taste were all perfect, making one's appetite rise.

The family sat around the table. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable.

Everyone was very satisfied.

After a full meal, the family sat in front of the television, eating melon seeds and chatting.

"When I went to pick Lil Yao up from school, I saw two kids from her school dating. I was sure to criticize them," Lin Tao said.

"Lil Yao, you can't date in school," Dai Weixue immediately said.

"I won't fall in love. Those little boys in school are too childish," Lin Xiaoyao said.

"Lil Yao can't date, but you can, Lil Fan." Lin Tao nodded.

"That's right! Lil Fan, you should get a girlfriend when you have time. Don't just focus on your studies. There are fewer and fewer women nowadays. If you don't find one now, you might not be able to find one in the future," Dai Weixue followed up with a look of anticipation.

Lin Xiaoyao said, "Dad, Mom, I think… There's no need to worry about Brother dating! He might even have a few girlfriends already."

She knew that Lin Fan owned a lot of villas and sports cars. He had a big house full of Gucci items and was a major shareholder of Cha Yue. In addition, Lin Fan was tall and handsome. How could he not get a girlfriend?

Not to mention other things, her two female classmates were in love with Lin Fan. b𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎l.net

"Cough, cough, cough!"

When Lin Fan heard Lin Xiaoyao's words, he almost choked.

Dai Weixue's eyes lit up as she asked, "Really? Lil Fan, when are you going to bring your girlfriend back for us to see?"

Lin Tao, who had been sipping his tea, put down his cup and looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was being stared at by his parents, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "This… I… I'll look for another chance."

What should he do?

Who should he bring back?

Qin Yuxuan?

Qiu Ziqian?

Hu Tian?

He could not bring them all back, right?

"Alright, haha!" Lin Tao said happily.

Dai Weixue asked, "Do you have a photo of your girlfriend?"

"I didn't take any photos with my phone," Lin Fan said.

Lin Fan was not lying. He really had not used his phone to take any photos.

Of course, even if he had, Lin Fan would not show them any photos for the time being.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyao seemed to have thought of something and said in a timid tone, "Brother, if your girlfriend finds out that you just drank the Coke I bought, she won't scold me, right?

"Your girlfriend won't hit me if she knows that I jumped into your arms, right?

"Brother, if your girlfriend is so scary… my heart will only ache for you."

After saying that, she even pretended to be trembling.

Dai Weixue said, "You have to be careful in case Lil Fan's girlfriend gets the wrong idea in the future."

"You do have to be careful," Lin Tao added.

Lin Fan smiled. "Dad, Mom, don't listen to Lil Yao's nonsense. She learned this joke from the internet."

351 Meeting an Acquaintance; Collecting Debts

Lin Xiaoyao was now in her third year of high school, and her schedule was very tight. She only had a short half-day off every week.

After dinner, Lin Fan drove Lin Xiaoyao to Jiangbei High School.

Lin Xiaoyao looked at the dazzling starry sky above and touched the comfortable and soft seat. Her pretty face was filled with enjoyment.

"Brother, your girlfriend won't be angry that I'm sitting in your passenger seat, will she?" she asked.

"Brother, I…"

Lin Fan smiled and interrupted, "She won't be angry. Otherwise, your heart will ache, right?"

"Of course!" Lin Xiaoyao hugged Lin Fan's strong arm.

After sending Lin Xiaoyao to the school gate, Lin Fan returned home.

The night gradually deepened.

Lin Fan lay on the big bed that was filled with the smell of sunlight. He slept very comfortably and soundly.

The next day, when Lin Fan opened his eyes, the sun was already hanging in the sky.

His parents left the house early as usual.

After Lin Fan washed up, he went to a stall not far away and ate a bowl of wontons.

Then, he strolled along the winding road.

Humans were such strange creatures.

If he always lived in the same place, perhaps he would not have any thoughts of wandering around at all.

Once he returned from other places, he would have an inexplicable urge to look around.

Lin Fan looked at the tall buildings, the roads that were being repaired, and the laughing students… He felt extremely relaxed.

When a slightly hunched figure appeared in front of him, Lin Fan could not help but shout, "Uncle Xue?"

The middle-aged man with slightly white sideburns said hesitantly, "Are you… Lil Fan?"

"It's me!" Lin Fan said happily.

Back then, when Lin Fan was in his first year of high school, there were limited dorms, and Lin Fan's house was quite far from the school.

Therefore, he chose to rent a room nearby, which was a room in Xue Baoguo's house.

Xue Baoguo's aged face was full of wrinkles. He said happily, "Lil Fan, it really is you!

"By the way, which university are you in?"

In the first year of high school, there were not enough dormitories, so the students could rent rooms outside.

However, in the second year of high school, the school built a new dormitory. Other than the students who lived within three kilometers of the school, the rest of the students were forced to live on campus.

Therefore, Lin Fan only stayed at Xue Baoguo's house for a year.

Therefore, he did not know that Lin Fan had dropped out of school in his third year of high school.

"I'm studying at Jiangbei University," Lin Fan said.

"Jiangbei University? Haha! As expected, I knew you would definitely get into a good university!" Xue Baoguo said happily, the wrinkles on his face deepening.

He looked even happier than when he heard that his son had been admitted to Jiangbei University.

Lin Fan did not explain in detail that he did not get in. He was about to say something.

At this moment…

Xue Baoguo seemed to be too happy that he could not breathe. His face was pale, and he lost the strength to stand upright. He fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Lin Fan reacted quickly and grabbed Xue Baoguo's arms. He asked, "Uncle Xue, are you alright?"

However, Xue Baoguo only panted heavily. His whole body was covered in a layer of cold sweat, and his pupils kept rolling. He could not answer at all.

Seeing this…

Lin Fan did not hesitate at all. He spent 10,000,000 yuan to buy Medical Water from the system and poured it into Xue Baoguo's mouth.

Gulp!

Xue Baoguo's condition quickly improved after drinking the medicine. His breathing gradually stabilized, and his complexion returned to normal.

After a while, he asked in disbelief, "I think I'm fine."

Over the past few years, Xue Baoguo had been worried and anxious because of his business. As a result, he suffered from heart pain, high blood pressure, and other diseases.

Therefore, he often looked tired and dispirited.

Just now… it was as if these illnesses had suddenly disappeared. He felt extremely relaxed right now.

"Lil Fan, what did you give me?" Xue Baoguo could not help but ask.

Lin Fan said, "A little medicine. Uncle Xue, it's good that you're fine."

At this moment, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded not far away.

A middle-aged man with a beer belly slowly walked over from afar.

Seeing this…

Xue Baoguo hurriedly went up to him and said, "President Liu, I've finally found you, President Liu…"

President Liu raised his head and pointed his nose at Xue Baoguo. "Oh, Old Xue, what's the matter?"

"President Liu, didn't I deliver three carts of pork and two carts of beef to you last year? The money… You haven't paid yet…" Xue Baoguo said carefully.

"It's just a few carts of meat, isn't it?" President Liu glanced at him and snorted. "You're even blocking me on the street? Are you worried that I won't give you the money?"

"No, no, I definitely didn't mean that…" Xue Baoguo hurriedly said. "It's just that I've been in urgent need of some cash recently, and I happened to meet you… So, I came to ask."

This was a strange era. Those who owed money were always more arrogant than those who borrowed money.

"I'm working on a big project now and don't have time to deal with this small amount of money. When my project is completed, I'll settle the bill with you."

Without waiting for Xue Baoguo's reply, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"President Liu, I really need this money right now. Can't you think of a way?" Xue Baoguo quickly shouted.

President Liu grunted and said impatiently, "Alright, alright, alright. You want money, right? I'll call you when I get back! I can't believe you're nagging so much over money."

Then, he prepared to walk forward again.

At this moment, a tall and handsome figure suddenly blocked in front of him… It was Lin Fan.

"You want to leave? Alright, you just have to pay Uncle Xue the money you owe him right now," Lin Fan said.

From President Liu's eyes, Lin Fan could easily tell that he was just being perfunctory. There was no way he would transfer the money to Uncle Xue right away.

A few carts of meat would only cost a few hundred thousand at most… It would not be a big deal even if Lin Fan gave that money to Uncle Xue.

However, it was only right and proper to repay debts.

President Liu raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What's wrong, Old Xue? Are you worried that I won't pay, so you found a young man to fight me?"

Xue Baoguo was about to explain when Lin Fan said, "Uncle Xue, leave it to me."

Xue Baoguo saw a calm and collected look on Lin Fan's face that was different from ordinary young people. He could not help but nod.

"Soft tactics didn't work, so you want to use force?" President Liu said. "Old Xue, you're really bold!"

Then, he said coldly to Lin Fan, "Brat, get out of my way! Otherwise, the consequences are definitely not something you can bear!"

Lin Fan's expression did not change. He said calmly, "Is that so? I want to see what the consequences are."

352 Apologize; Introduction!

When President Liu heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. Just as he was about to say something, his gaze was suddenly attracted by a young man in a checkered shirt.

President Liu changed his arrogant appearance from before. He lowered his head like a pug and respectfully called out, "Hello, Young Master Wu."

Originally, Young Master Wu did not pay attention to them.

However, when he heard someone calling him, he still turned around politely.

When he saw President Liu, Young Master Wu's expression did not change much.

However, in the next moment, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Then, he quickened his pace and walked forward.

It was because he saw Lin Fan!

Young Master Wu was the groom of the wedding held at Qing Kun Hotel on the eve of the spring festival, Wu Kai!

He would never forget how respectful and fawning all the big shots were toward Lin Fan.

At the same time, he could not forget that Lin Fan was a major shareholder of Qing Kun Group, a major shareholder of Xiao Wu Wholesale City, and the owner of the Imperial Hotel!

Ever since the wedding, Wu Kai had been fantasizing about when he would be able to chat with Lin Fan and build a relationship with him.

Unfortunately, he had never had such an opportunity.

Wu Kai did not expect that he would encounter it today!

President Liu, who had a beer belly, saw Young Master Wu walking toward him. His fat face revealed a hint of surprise.

One had to know…

Young Master Wu's father was a big shot in Qing City.

If he had a relationship with him, it would definitely be a great thing for him.

President Liu saw that Wu Kai was getting closer and closer, so he quickly flattered, "Young Master Wu, you…"

However, before he could finish, Wu Kai said in a very respectful tone, "Mr. Lin, long time no see."

Lin Fan had a photographic memory, so he naturally remembered the groom from the wedding banquet.

At this moment, Lin Fan was in a bad mood.

Wu Kai saw that Lin Fan did not reply. His eyes moved slightly, and his gaze landed on President Liu who was beside him.

He had a vague impression of President Liu. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to remember this man.

Wu Kai then remembered that the other party had toasted him when he went to a hotel for dinner once… His surname seemed to be Liu?

"Mr. Lin, do you know Mr. Liu?"

Lin Fan glanced at President Liu and said, "Yeah, I know him…He owes Uncle Xue money for a few carts of meat. He even threatened to teach me a lesson!"

Initially, Wu Kai thought that Lin Fan and President Liu were close.

He could use this to build a connection and get closer to Lin Fan.

However, what was the situation now?

This Liu guy actually dared to owe Lin Fan's uncle money and even threatened him?!

Threatening a major shareholder of Qing Kun Group?

Threatening the major shareholder of Xiao Wu Wholesale City?

Threatening the owner of the Imperial Hotel?

He… How dare he?!

More importantly, his words just now actually showed that he seemed to be somewhat familiar with this Liu fellow!

Thinking of this, Wu Kai's expression darkened as he shouted sternly, "Liu, you really have guts!"

President Liu stuttered, "Y-Young Master Wu…I…"

Wu Kai saw that he wanted to explain to him instead of apologizing to Lin Fan immediately. A wave of anger rose in his heart. At the same time, in order to cut ties with President Liu as soon as possible, he kicked him to the ground.

"F*ck!" he shouted.

Plop!

This kick finally woke President Liu up.

"M-Mr. Lin… I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you… I looked down on others… I'm sorry…"

However, no matter how much President Liu cried and apologized, Lin Fan's expression remained the same. There was no change at all.

Then, President Liu crawled a few steps forward and said, "Old… Old Xue, I'm sorry. I'm a bastard. I shouldn't have owed you money for the meat… I'll send the money to you right away. What's your account number? I'll transfer the money to you now."

President Liu kept kowtowing, then hugged Xue Baoguo's pants and wailed.

Xue Baoguo had no choice but to take out his bank card.

President Liu held the bank card as if he was holding a life buoy. He quickly took out his phone and entered a string of numbers.

Holding onto a life buoy.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with this!

That was because President Liu knew very well how terrifying Wu Kai's power was.

If Wu Kai wanted to push him into a dead end, it would not take much effort at all.

As for Mr. Lin, who even Wu Kai had to treat respectfully…

What kind of power did he have?

Yet he actually threatened him?

Just thinking about it made President Liu feel a wave of fear in his heart, and his face turned pale.

At this moment, he was filled with regret.

Why did he owe the money for the meat?

In less than a minute, Xue Baoguo's phone vibrated.

[Notice from Hua Nation Construction Bank: 1,000,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]

When Xue Baoguo saw the text message, he was slightly stunned and said, "One… A million? You only owe me 389,200 yuan, Mr. Liu. You gave me too much."

"It's not too much…" President Liu hurriedly said.

Seeing that Xue Baoguo still wanted to say something, Lin Fan said, "Uncle Xue, just take it. He has owed you money for the meat for so long. Take it as interest."

"Yes, it's interest…" President Liu added.

Xue Baoguo opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

In the end, he did not speak.

When President Liu saw this, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Then, he looked at Lin Fan carefully.

Lin Fan said calmly, "I don't want something like this to happen again. Do you understand?"

President Liu said excitedly, "I understand, I understand…"

"Get lost," Lin Fan said.

"Yes, yes… Thank you, Mr. Lin. Thank you, Old Xue. Thank you, Young Master Wu." After President Liu finished speaking, he quickly ran into the distance.

After he left, the scene became much quieter.

"Uncle Xue, how many carts of meat did you send to President Liu?" Lin Fan asked. "Are you in the meat business now?"

Xue Baoguo was still a little confused.

However, he still answered, "Yes."

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded not far away.

"Mr. Lin!" The chairman of Qing Kun, Li Wannian, who was dressed in a suit, called out respectfully.

Lin Fan said, "You came at the right time. My Uncle Xue is in the meat business. The hotel, supermarkets, and other businesses in Qing Kun should also need pork and beef, right? In the future, you can source them from my Uncle Xue."

Li Wannian did not understand what had just happened.

However, since Lin Fan had opened his mouth, there was no problem at all.

Li Wannian took the initiative to extend his hand to Xue Baoguo. "Mr. Xue, we'll have to rely on you in the future."

The pork and beef of Qing Kun Group would be provided by him?

Xue Baoguo's mind was in a daze again.

However, he still reached out and shook Li Wannian's hand out of reflex.

Lin Fan introduced, "Uncle Xue, this is the chairman of Qing Kun Group, Li Wannian. If you need anything in the future, just look for him."

"What?" Xue Baoguo widened his eyes in shock.

353 Accompany; Acquire a Hotel!

Earlier, Xue Baoguo saw that President Liu was trying his best to please Young Master Wu.

As for Young Master Wu… When he was treating Lin Fan with the utmost respect, Xue Baoguo was a little puzzled.

Now, even the chairman of Qing Kun Group was so polite to Lin Fan.

One had to know…

Qing Kun Group was the largest company in Qing City, and it had a wide range of businesses, including supermarkets, hotels, daily necessities, real estate, clothing, and so on.

In fact, because of Lin Fan's words, the chairman of Qing Kun Group even shook his hand and let him become the main vendor of the company's pork and beef?

This… This…

Was Lin Fan not from an ordinary family?

Lin Fan's learning ability was very strong, but he only graduated less than two years ago, right?

This… How could Young Master Wu and the chairman of Qing Kun Group treat him like this?

This…

What was going on?

Could it be that he had not woken up yet?

Naturally, Lin Fan did not know what Xue Baoguo was thinking. He was already attracted by a sentence that suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Ding! You've completed a hidden mission—a drop of water will be repaid with a spring. You have received one golden packet.]

'A drop of water will be repaid with a spring?' 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙.𝘯𝑒𝘵

Was this… Was it about helping Uncle Xue?

One golden packet?

This was a pleasant surprise.

In reality, Lin Fan was not wrong.

This was indeed the reward for helping Xue Baoguo.

Now, Lin Fan had first cured Xue Baoguo.

Then, he helped him get one million yuan.

Finally, he also got him to be Qing Kun Group's pork and beef supplier…

If this was not repaying a drop of water with a spring, then what was?

At this moment, Li Wannian said, "It's almost time for dinner. Qing Kun Hotel is just ahead. Mr. Lin, Mr. Xue… and Lil Wu, why don't we go for a meal together?"

Lin Fan nodded. "Sure."

Wu Kai had always wanted to interact more with Lin Fan. Naturally, he would not disagree.

Xue Baoguo, who was still in a daze, followed behind them.

When the waiters of Qing Kun Hotel saw Li Wannian, they greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Chairman Li."

After a wave of greetings, Lin Fan, Li Wannian, Wu Kai, and Xue Baoguo arrived at a luxurious private room.

Immediately after, dishes of delicious food, high-end white wine, and so on were served.

Li Wannian personally poured a glass of wine for everyone and then toasted with them.

After drinking this glass of wine, the rich spiciness stimulated Xue Baoguo's throat, making him realize… that all of this was not a dream.

It was all true!

After Lin Fan left Qing Kun Hotel, he went home and stayed with his parents for a while before driving toward Jiangbei.

Although he felt that it was fine to stay at home for a few more days, his parents didn't think so. They felt that school was the most important thing.

When the sky gradually darkened, Lin Fan had already returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa.

He sat on the soft sofa and played with his phone.

When he opened his WeChat Moments, he saw that Chu Yunyue had just forwarded a company article.

Instantly, Lin Fan could not help but recall Chu Yunyue's pretty and serious face.

Hence, he opened her chat box and sent her a message.

Lin Fan: [You haven't slept yet?]

Chu Yunyue seemed to be using her phone. She replied almost instantly.

Chu Yunyue: [Yeah, I've been working overtime to process the information for the International Perfume Exhibition in Eagle Country. I've only just returned home.]

Lin Fan could almost imagine Chu Yunyue's tired face.

Hence, he sent out a message.

Lin Fan: [You can hand it over to your subordinates. You don't have to tire yourself out.]

Chu Yunyue replied: [I've already passed on many things. But this exhibition is very important. I have to go and be there personally. So, I have to prepare some things myself.]

Lin Fan: [You're going to Eagle Country personally? When?]

Chu Yunyue replied: [The exhibition is on Thursday. I'm going there tomorrow.]

Lin Fan said: [Then I'll go with you.]

Chu Yunyue: [Really?]

Lin Fan replied: [Of course. Have a good rest tonight. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning.]

Chu Yunyue replied: [Okay!]

The reason why Lin Fan decided to go to Eagle Country with Chu Yunyue was that he was worried.

Firstly, it had been a long time since he last accompanied her.

Secondly, he had never left the country.

Taking this opportunity to go overseas to take a look seemed like a good idea.

After ending his conversation with Chu Yunyue, Lin Fan focused his attention on… the golden packet that he received today.

"One golden packet. Let's see what I can get," Lin Fan muttered to himself.

"Open!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received Sun Simiao's Medical Experience.]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan was stunned.

Sun Simiao?

Was he not the famous godly doctor and king pharmacist in history?

His experience?

Just as Lin Fan was in a daze, in his mind…Suddenly, countless complex and profound medical knowledge emerged.

After a while, Lin Fan opened his eyes and muttered, "I already have such superb medical skills?"

That night, Lin Fan was sleeping soundly.

When Lin Fan opened his eyes, the sky was already bright.

He looked at his phone and saw a message.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,589,020 yuan was deposited into your account.]

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained Royal Hotel in Eagle Country.]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan's face revealed a strange expression. He was just about to head to Eagle Country and he obtained a hotel in Eagle Country?

"Lil White, do you know about Royal Hotel in Eagle Country?" asked Lin Fan.

"The Royal Hotel in Eagle Country was built in 2002. It took eight years to build and cost three billion Eagle Dollars. Due to its tall and luxurious appearance, it became one of the iconic buildings of Eagle Country," Lil White said in a very clear voice.

When Lin Fan heard this, the weird expression on his face grew even more intense.

This hotel was actually in Eagle Country. Was this not too much of a coincidence?

At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang.

He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number from overseas.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been shocked to see an unfamiliar foreign phone call.

Their first reaction was to hang up.

However, Lin Fan had already received many foreign calls.

Therefore, he did not hang up. Instead, he pressed the answer button.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lin?" A very gentle and respectful voice came from the phone.

Lin Fan said, "It's me. You are?"

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm Jack Smith, the chairman of Eagle Country's Royal Hotel. I hope I didn't disturb your rest?" The voice on the phone became more respectful.

Lin Fan said, "No, I'm already up."

Jack Smith heaved a sigh of relief. "That's really great…"

354 Hello, Mr. Lin; Boarding!

Not long ago, Jack Smith suddenly learned that Eagle Country's Royal Hotel had changed owners.

Moreover, it was a new boss from Hua Nation.

This made Jack Smith unable to sleep.

Therefore, when it was 9:30 AM in Hua Nation and 3:00 AM in Eagle Country, Jack Smith could not help but make a call.

He wanted to talk to his new boss as soon as possible and build a relationship with him.

Otherwise…

He had worked hard for so many years to become the chairman of Eagle Country's Royal Hotel.

Perhaps it would not be long before everything was ruined.

"Mr. Lin, I'm going to report to you about the hotel's situation in the first half of the year, as well as the plans for the next year. Are you free?" Jack Smith asked.

Lin Fan said, "Forget it. I'll be flying to Eagle Country today."

When Jack Smith heard this, his figure turned solemn, and he hurriedly said, "Alright, I'll get ready to pick you up!"

"Okay." Lin Fan said, "Oh right, aren't you from Eagle Country? Why do you speak Hua Nation's language so fluently?"

Jack Smith said, "Because there are many tourists from all over the world who come to our hotel. I used to receive tourists from all over the world, so I learned the languages of many countries."

Lin Fan said, "Not bad."

Although it was just a simple word of praise, to Jack Smith, it sounded like a beautiful symphony. It was so pleasant that his entire face was filled with smiles.

After breakfast, Lin Fan took his ID card, passport, and other documents before driving the Cullinan.

Not long after, he pressed a doorbell.

The door slowly opened.

Chu Yunyue's beautiful face appeared in front of him.

The two of them had not seen each other for a while.

Now that they met, there was no need to say anything. They were like magnets that directly embracing embraced each other.

The sun continued to rise, and the trees swayed gently…

About three hours later, Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue both changed into a new set of clothes and walked out of the room.

"I'm on my way…"

Chu Yunyue said a few simple words and hung up.

Then, she looked at the Culinan's interior curiously and said, "As expected of a Culinan. Be it material, comfort, or power, they're all top-notch…

"The space in the back row is also very large. It won't be a problem to lie down and sleep."

Lin Fan said, "Really? Why don't you sleep here next time?"

Chu Yunyue seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned red.

They chatted while driving and soon arrived at the airport.

In the distance, an oval-faced woman in a dress kept waving and calling out, "Director Chu, Mr. Lin, we're here!"

Chu Yunyue and Lin Fan walked forward together.

"Hello, Chairwoman Chu, Mr. Lin."

Obviously, these people were all Flower Stem's employees.

When Chu Yunyue was alone with Lin Fan, she was like a little girl who did not know anything.

However, in front of the company's employees, she was like a cold CEO, extremely strict and imposing.

The oval-faced woman asked, "Chairwoman Chu, may I know which plane we're taking to Eagle Country?" 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Yesterday, she was about to book a plane ticket when she suddenly received a call from Chu Yunyue. She said that the plane tickets were ready and they could go straight to the airport tomorrow.

However, Chu Yunyue did not say which flight it was.

Chu Yunyue did not answer her. Instead, she looked at Lin Fan.

It was because she did not know which flight it was either.

Yesterday, Lin Fan only told her that he had arranged the plane.

Lin Fan said, "The plane should be in front. Let's go."

Everyone did not ask much and followed Lin Fan.

When they arrived in front of Xia Airlines' shuttle, three beautiful air stewardesses bowed in unison and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

The air stewardess standing at the front smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, do you want to board the plane now or rest in the VIP lounge first?"

"Yunyue, do you want to rest and eat something first?" Lin Fan asked.

Chu Yunyue shook her head. "Let's just go straight to the plane. There should be food on the plane."

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Alright, let's go to the plane."

Thus, three air stewardesses led Lin Fan and the others to check their passports and identity documents.

Then, they strolled through the passage and took a Mercedes-Benz bus straight to the airplane.

Seeing this…

A few people could not help but discuss in low voices.

"Did you notice? I don't think we collected or checked our flight tickets, right?"

"Huh, it seems so!"

"Then how did we get in?"

"The shuttle bus at the airport in the past was just an ordinary one, right? How did it switch to a Benz today?"

Amidst the crowd's discussion, the Mercedes-Benz bus stopped steadily in front of a luxury passenger plane.

Lin Fan and the others had just gotten off the Mercedes-Benz bus… A group of tall, beautiful air stewardesses with exquisite facial features who scored above 85 points in appearance stood in two rows. They bowed at the same time. "Hello, Mr. Lin."

This scene…

The staff of Flower Stem, as well as Chu Yunyue, were stunned.

Such a scene… Let alone in reality, they had never seen it before even in TV shows.

Following that, everyone could not help but look at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, "Let's go. Let's get on the plane."

As soon as he finished speaking, he held Chu Yunyue's slender hand and walked past the two rows of beautiful air stewardesses.

At this moment…

Chu Yunyue suddenly had a strange feeling. It was as if… she was wearing a snow-white wedding dress. Under the witness of her relatives and friends, she was holding hands with Lin Fan as they walked onto the stage.

Chu Yunyue, who had always been calm and collected, blushed when she thought of this.

Lin Fan asked, "You seem to be sweating. Are you feeling hot?"

Chu Yunyue stammered, "Yes… That's right.

Lin Fan said, "Then let's go quickly. It'll be fine once we get on the plane."

"Yes, yes!" Chu Yunyue nodded vigorously.

When everyone got on the plane, they saw that there was no one inside, and it seemed very spacious.

As soon as everyone sat down, the beautiful air stewardesses who were standing in two rows earlier walked over.

The air stewardess at the front smiled and asked, "Mr. Lin, are all the guests here?"

Lin Fan did not reply. Instead, he looked at Chu Yunyue.

Chu Yunyue looked at the people on the plane and said, "They're all here."

"Then I'll ask the captain to contact the control tower and prepare to head to Lun City, Eagle Country."

"Alright," Lin Fan said.

"Alright," the air stewardess said.

355 Surprised; Bragging!

Rumble!

As the luxury plane trembled, it suddenly shot up into the sky.

After a while, they passed through layers of clouds and arrived in the blue sky.

After the plane stabilized, a beautiful air stewardess pushed a small dining table and walked over with a smile on her face.

"What's there to eat?" the oval-faced woman asked.

"Australian lobster, bread crab, top-grade Wagyu beef, natural vegetables, top-grade abalone…" the beautiful air stewardess said.

The oval-faced woman was a little stunned when she heard the names of the dishes.

After a while, the oval-faced woman said, "Then… Then I'll have a serving of lobster and beef…" 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

She did not dare to say that it was Australian lobster or top-grade Wagyu beef.

It was because she felt that she might have been hearing things.

If she mentioned Australian lobster and top-grade Wagyu, she might end up making a joke of herself.

"Alright," the beautiful air stewardess said with a smile.

As she spoke, she placed the Australian lobster that reached the length of one's elbow and the top-grade Wagyu beef that was as white as snowflakes in front of the oval-faced woman.

Seeing this…

The oval-faced woman was completely stunned.

It was true!

This was really Australian lobster and top-grade Wagyu beef!

She did not hear wrongly just now!

However, what was going on?

At this moment, the beautiful air stewardess asked again, "Do you need anything to drink?

"We have 2003 Lafite, Flying Maotai, Louis 13, Hennessy, natural fruit juice, high-end coffee, high-protein milk, high-end yogurt, and so on."

The oval-faced woman said, "I… I want red wine."

"Alright," said the beautiful air stewardess.

Then, she handed it to the oval-faced woman.

Lafite!

It really was Lafite!

The oval-faced woman was stunned again.

In fact…

She was not the only one who was stunned. The other employees of Flower Stem who were also on the plane were stunned too.

They could be said to be the middle and upper management of the company. Perhaps some of them had never been abroad.

However, they had all taken a plane before!

Usually, there would be some food prepared on the plane.

However, most only served items like bread, beef brisket, shredded potatoes, and other very cheap food.

Now, the food in front of them… Not to mention the food, just this glass of 2003 Lafite would probably cost hundreds or thousands of yuan, right?

This meal would probably be more expensive than the plane ticket, right?

Was the airline company earning that much money?

At this moment, someone suddenly said, "It seems that there are only us on the plane. There are no other passengers."

When everyone heard this, they looked around and realized that there was really no one else. They could not help but look at each other.

Lin Fan turned around and asked, "What are you guys doing? Eat up."

The oval-faced woman opened her mouth. She could not help but voice the doubts in her heart.

"M-Mr. Lin, did you book this plane?"

"No, I didn't," Lin Fan replied.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Fan continued, "I'm a major shareholder of Xia Airlines. I don't need to book chartered flights."

Silence.

The entire plane was silent.

The oval-faced woman, the employees of Flower Stem, and even Chu Yunyue were stunned.

One had to know that Xia Airlines was the largest private airline company in Hua Nation!

Lin Fan… was actually a major shareholder?

No wonder those beautiful stewardesses were so respectful to Lin Fan and served him so well…

If that was the case, everything made sense.

"When did you invest in Xia Airlines?" asked Chu Yunyue."

Lin Fan said, "It's been a while."

He did not explain much about when and how much money he had spent.

This was because he had received everything from the system's red packets. It was not easy to explain.

Another plane was heading toward Eagle Country. It was not as luxurious as Lin Fan's plane.

The plane was full of people. The air was filled with the stench of body odor, foot odor, and other unpleasant smells.

For lunch, they had fries, burgers, tomato beef brisket rice, and other cheap food.

A round-faced Caucasian man named Jonah Roger swallowed the last bite of his burger and wiped the oil off his face. He praised, "We're finally reaching Eagle Country!"

Beside him, Li Li, who was wearing heavy makeup, had a look of excitement on her face.

Jonah Roger's eyes turned slightly, and he said, "Li Li, the streets of Hua Nation are filled with rubbish and all kinds of dirty things. When you get off the plane, you'll understand what it means to be an international metropolis. The streets are spotless, and the buildings are extremely beautiful…

"Didn't you want to stay in Eagle Country's Royal Hotel? It just so happens that my family used to do business with Royal Hotel. My father is also good friends with the owner of the Royal Hotel!

"I've already told my dad about our arrival. He'll arrange for people from Royal Hotel to come and pick us up."

When Jonah Roger said this, he could not help but raise his neck, looking like a high and mighty yet mysterious young master.

In reality?

He lied about his family having done business with Eagle Country's Royal Hotel.

He also lied about his father and the owner of the Royal Hotel being good friends.

He did not have a prominent family background, and his father was only familiar with an ordinary manager of the Royal Hotel.

Jonah Roger had indeed told his father about their arrival… He also said that they were going to stay at the Royal Hotel.

In this way, he could get a little discount from that supervisor.

As for picking them up… That was normal because the Royal Hotel had a pick-up service.

Jonah Roger secretly glanced at Li Li's exquisite figure.

He believed that after saying all this, Li Li would definitely worship him. When he brought her to the Royal Hotel, he would definitely be able to get her.

It had to be said that Jonah Roger had a good grasp of Li Li's psychology.

Li Li was very interested in foreigners.

At this moment, she heard from Jonah that his family was able to do business with the Royal Hotel.

Jonah Roger's father was a good friend of the owner of the Royal Hotel!

In Li Li's heart, she was already imagining Jonah Roger's huge family power…

Gradually, Jonah seemed to occupy more of her heart, causing her to be in a daze. Her face, which was covered in foundation, also began to reveal a hint of redness.

Perhaps she would have a chance to join a foreign wealthy family!

Rumble!

At this moment, the passenger plane shook violently.

At the same time, a brisk voice sounded from the plane's broadcast.

"Dear passengers, there's strong turbulence ahead. Please don't panic and fasten your seatbelts…"

The plane shook for about five minutes before it finally calmed down.

After the plane continued on for two hours, an announcement sounded again.

"Dear passengers, the plane is about to land in Lun City, Eagle Country. It's now 2:10 pm in Lun City, and the temperature is 23 degrees… Please remain seated and fasten your seatbelts. The plane is about to land."

356 The Son of the Boss' Good Friend; Liar!

Rumble!

After a series of decelerations and bumps, the plane finally stopped.

The moment Li Li got off the plane, she took a deep breath and praised, "As expected of Eagle Country. The air is so fresh and sweet!"

Then, she looked into the distance and took out her phone to post a message on social media.

[How big of an influence does the environment have on a person? I'm in Lun City, and I've just gotten off the plane.

[The buildings in Lun City have a strong European and American style and a sense of history. Even people from Hua Nation won't be able to help but set higher standards for themselves, improve their quality, and transform themselves into polite gentlemen and elegant ladies upon coming here…

[My foreign friend's father is friends with the owner of Eagle Country's Royal Hotel. He has already arranged for the people from the Royal Hotel to come and pick us up.]

Li Li's fingers were flying. In just a minute, she had written a post with more than a hundred words.

After putting down her phone, her eyes quickly noticed a prominent banner not far away—Welcome to Lun City, Eagle Country's Royal Hotel.

Around the banner stood many men in suits and women with graceful figures.

Several Rolls-Royce cars were parked behind, and there was even a helicopter!

Seeing this…

"Jonah, are these the people who came to pick us up?" Li Li said excitedly.

In fact, Jonah Roger had also noticed the banner and the group of people.

He was a little puzzled earlier, wondering if this was the group who came to pick him up.

This formation seemed a little too big.

However, when he saw how excited Li Li was, Jonah Roger puffed out his chest and said, "Of course, they're here to pick us up! My dad is a good friend of the owner of the Royal Hotel!"

What he was thinking was that he had spent so much money to stay at Eagle Country's Royal Hotel. It was normal for them to welcome him with huge fanfare.

When Li Li heard this, her face was full of smiles. She followed Jonah Roger to where the banner was.

"Are you from the Royal Hotel?" Jonah asked.

Jack Smith, the chairman of Eagle Country's Royal Hotel, frowned slightly.

General Manager Edward Mullen said, "Yes, we're from the Royal Hotel. Sir, what can I do for you?"

Jonah looked up and said, "That's good. I've already booked a room. Oh right, my dad is also good friends with the owner of Eagle Country's Royal Hotel."

He said this without any pressure.

It was because Jonah Roger did not believe that such a small matter would be reported to the owner.

Originally, Chairman Jack Smith did not want to bother with Jonah Roger at all.

However, after hearing this, his heart skipped a beat. He said respectfully, "Hello, I'm Jack Smith. May I know your name?" 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝙤𝒓𝙜

Jonah Roger saw that as he had expected, the other party could not tell whether what he said was the truth or not.

Moreover, he was so respectful to him.

He secretly glanced at Li Li, who was admiring him more and more. He said proudly, "I'm Jonah Roger."

Just as Chairman Jack Smith was about to say something, his expression suddenly turned cold and he said seriously, "Everyone, line up and prepare for the welcoming ceremony!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly went forward.

It was because he had seen his boss… Lin Fan!

Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and the staff of Flower Stem slowly got off the luxury plane under the respectful escort of the beautiful air stewardesses.

"Welcome to Lun City, Eagle Country, Mr. Lin!" Chairman Jack Smith greeted respectfully.

Immediately after, a group of men in suits and women with graceful figures behind him shouted in unison, "Welcome to Lun City, Eagle Country, Mr. Lin!"

Chu Yunyue and the other employees of the Flower Stem were a little stunned.

All of them turned to look at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan did not feel too uncomfortable and said, "You must be Jack Smith?"

Chairman Jack Smith, who was standing at the front, said, "Yes, Mr. Lin. We have already prepared a means of transportation for you. Would you like to go to the Eagle Country's Royal Hotel to rest for a while?"

"Alright." Lin Fan nodded.

"Mr. Lin, this way please," Jack Smith said respectfully.

Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and the staff of Flower Stem, surrounded by a large group of foreigners, came to the helicopter.

At this moment, Jack Smith seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, Mr. Lin, your good friend's son seems to be here. Do you want to bring him along?"

Lin Fan was puzzled. "My good friend's son?"

He did not have many good friends.

Even if one of them had given birth to a son, he had probably just learned how to walk, right?

Yet he came to Eagle Country just like that?

Jack Smith pointed at the fair-skinned Jonah Roger and said, "Yes, he just arrived."

Lin Fan sized up Jonah Roger and said, "I don't know him."

With that, he turned around and walked into the helicopter.

Jack Smith was a smart man. At this moment, how could he not understand that this man was simply lying?!

After glaring at Jonah Roger, he also boarded the helicopter.

Rumble!

The helicopter let out a roar as its propellers spun rapidly, forming a small hurricane as it soared into the sky.

The Rolls-Royce motorcade parked next to the helicopter was speeding in the same direction.

The helicopter in the sky and the Rolls-Royce fleet on the ground were all there to welcome Lin Fan. It was a luxurious sight.

The luxury plane was too fast and was above the clouds. There was no way to enjoy the scenery of Lun City.

The speed of the helicopter was relatively slow and flew at a low altitude. It was just enough for Lin Fan and the others to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lun City.

They looked at the European-style buildings with curiosity on their faces.

"That seems to be the Shield Eye!"

"Is this it? It looks similar to the Ferris wheel in our country."

"That's the Tower Bridge of Lun City!"

"That… seems okay."

"Is that the security tower?"

"It seems rather ordinary."

Everyone commented from time to time.

Although the buildings were a little novel, they were not shocking.

As Lin Fan and the others boarded the helicopter and looked down at Lun City, Li Li and Jonah Roger, who were standing on the ground, were blown by the strong winds from the helicopter. Their clothes and hair rustled, and the dust made them cough.

The two of them only recovered after the helicopter took off.

"Jonah Roger, didn't you say that they were here to pick us up?" Li Li said.

"This…" Jonah Roger said awkwardly.

"Didn't you say that your father and the owner of the Royal Hotel were good friends?" Li Li shouted.

"This…" Jonah Roger did not know how to answer.

"You liar!" Li Li shouted.

After saying that, she turned around and left.

357 Listen to This; Sign In Overseas!

Naturally, Lin Fan and the others did not know about Li Li, Jonah, and Roger.

They looked down from the helicopter.

About ten minutes later, the helicopter slowly decelerated…

In the end, they landed on a tall helipad… This was the Eagle Country's Royal Hotel!

"Tsk!"

When Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and Flower Stem's employees got off the helicopter, two rows of beautiful Caucasian women with exquisite looks and graceful figures said in unison, "Welcome, Mr. Lin!"

This scene shocked Chu Yunyue and the staff of Flower Stem.

Then, everyone's luggage was sent to the luxury suites on the top floor by the Caucasian beauties.

Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and the others were led to the VIP room by Chairman Jack Smith.

At this moment, the table in the VIP room was already filled with top-grade foie gras, cheese snails, top-grade steak, white truffle bagels, gold foil sundaes, caviar chocolate pudding, and many other delicacies.

When Flower Stem's employees saw this, they could not take their eyes off.

In fact, they were not the only ones who were attracted. Even Chu Yunyue was attracted.

Lin Fan said, "Everyone has been on the plane for so long. You must be hungry and tired, right? Hurry up and eat."

Generally speaking, one would get hungry and tired when they took a plane.

However, this time, they had taken a luxurious private plane. The plane had the best food and the best service. How could they be hungry or tired?

However, at this moment, when they saw the exquisite food, they could not help but pick up their cutlery and eat slowly.

Very soon, their stomachs became a little round, and they could not eat any more of the delicious food.

Chu Yunyue wiped her mouth with a napkin and could not help but ask, "Lin Fan, don't tell me you're also a major shareholder of this hotel?"

Flower Stem's employees pricked up their ears.

Obviously, they had the same suspicion.

This was normal.

Lin Fan shook his head. "That's not it."

When everyone heard this, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

'It's alright, it's alright… He isn't a major shareholder of Eagle Country's Royal Hotel.'

They had just secretly searched the internet. The Royal Hotel was a landmark building in Lun City. It was one of the most luxurious hotels in Lun City, and it cost more than billions of dollars to build!

Their little hearts would not be able to withstand the torment.

At this moment, Lin Fan continued, "I'm the owner of this hotel."

Silence!

The entire room was silent!

The oval-faced woman, the other employees of Flower Stem, and Chu Yunyue were all stunned.

He was not the major shareholder, but the boss!

In the past, many of Flower Stem's employees felt that Lin Fan had just provided them with some perfume recipes and beauty essence technology yet he became the biggest shareholder of Flower Pedestal. He was simply too lucky.

They guessed that Lin Fan would probably be so happy that he would not be able to sleep every day.

Now it seemed like… Lin Fan probably did not care about the shares at all.

Lin Fan did not care about the stunned crowd and asked, "Yunyue, are you full? Do you want to rest in the room?"

"I'm not that tired yet," said Chu Yunyue. "I'll go to the booth first."

She was not a person who liked to relax and hated to work. In fact, she could be said to be a strong woman and a workaholic.

Otherwise, she would not have been able to establish the famous Flower Stem in Hua Nation by herself.

Lin Fan said, "Alright, I'll go with you."

Then, the two of them walked out side by side.

A Rolls-Royce was already waiting at the entrance. This was specially arranged by Chairman Jack Smith so that Lin Fan could travel around Eagle Country.

The driver was a Caucasian who was proficient in Hua Nation's language and English. It was effortless for him to communicate. At the same time, he also had good driving skills.

Lin Fan was very satisfied with this.

Soon, they arrived at the International Exhibition Center.

There was a huge LED display screen in front of the door, which was playing promotional videos of different brands of perfume.

Obviously, this was the venue for the upcoming International Perfume Exhibition.

As it was not the time for the official exhibition yet, there were still some things that were not ready.

Ordinary people were not allowed to enter and exit as they pleased.

However, as one of the participating companies, Chu Yunyue, the president of Flower Stem, was naturally not an ordinary person.

When Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue walked into the exhibition center, they were greeted by a strong fragrance.

Obviously, many companies had already brought their own perfumes in.

The two of them looked into the distance and saw various booths.

After a while, they finally saw Flower Stem's booth.

Different from the previous booth in Jiangbei City, Flower Stem's booth this time had a younger, more energetic, and modern feel.

Two men and women in Flower Stem uniforms were adjusting and modifying some small parts of the booth. They were very serious.

As a result, they did not even see Chu Yunyue and Lin Fan's arrival.

When a man turned around and was about to adjust the other positions of the booth, he shouted in surprise, "Chairwoman Chu, Mr. Lin!"

When the others heard this, they all stopped what they were doing. They turned around and greeted respectfully, "Chairwoman Chu, Mr. Lin."

Chu Yunyue nodded, "You've worked hard. The booth is very well done!"

When the four of them heard this, their faces revealed a hint of joy.

"Thank you for your compliment, Chairwoman Chu."

"This is what we should do."

Then, Chu Yunyue gave a detailed exchange and reminder about certain places and things to pay attention to during the exhibition.

When Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue left the exhibition center, it was already two hours later.

At this moment, the sky had already darkened.

After flying for a day, they went to the exhibition center to check on the booth. All of this made Chu Yunyue very tired.

However, Chu Yunyue knew she would not be able to fall asleep anyway. As long as she was on a business trip, no matter how tired she was, she could not fall asleep.

There were some people who were instinctively wary of unfamiliar environments and would struggle to fall asleep.

However, Chu Yunyue quickly fell asleep today.

It was because she had Lin Fan by her side.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Lin Fan opened his eyes slowly. There was no one around him.

He habitually picked up his phone.

A text message appeared on the screen as usual.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,891,030 yuan was deposited into your account.]

As he had walked more yesterday, his income was higher than usual.

Of course, Lin Fan did not care about this little bit of money.

Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system.

He muttered in his heart, 'This is my first time signing in abroad. Let's see what I can get.'

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained 10% of Eagle Country Oil Company's shares.]

358 An Encounter

Eagle Country Oil Company?

Lin Fan did not know much about Eagle Country's companies.

"Lil White, help me check the information on Eagle Country Oil Company."

The super smart watch on Lin Fan's wrist flashed slightly before emitting a crisp and pleasant sound.

"Eagle Country Oil Company is one of the top three companies in Eagle Country and one of the top 100 companies in the world. Its current market value is 1.05 trillion yuan. Chairman Jules Grant, the largest shareholder, holds 14.1% of the shares, and the owner holds 10% of the shares. You're the second biggest shareholder…"

When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but rub his nose.

The top three companies in Eagle Country?

Its current market value was 1.05 trillion.

He had 10% of the shares, which meant that he had earned 100 billion today?

Not bad!

Then, Lin Fan slowly climbed up from the bed.

When he came to the living room of the suite, he saw Chu Yunyue working hard in front of the computer.

At this moment, a crisp bell rang outside.

Chu Yunyue could not help but slowly raise her head. She was about to get up and open the door.

"Let me do it," said Lin Fan.

As he spoke, he directly opened the door.

Two attendants were pushing a cart in the corridor. They smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin. This is your breakfast."

Lin Fan nodded. "Alright, please bring it in."

Then, a very exquisite breakfast was placed on the dining table.

After the attendants left, Chu Yunyue asked, "When did you get up?"

"It's only been a while," Lin Fan said. "This breakfast looks pretty good. Come and try it."

Just as Lin Fan had said, the breakfast was indeed not bad.

White truffle meat slices, ham, beans, and high-end bread…

The high-end ingredients and superb cooking techniques made the taste of the food explode in their mouths.

Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue were very satisfied.

Lin Fan picked up the black tea and asked, "Yunyue, do you want to try some imported black tea?"

Chu Yunyue was a little confused.

Imported black tea?

However, she still replied, "Okay."

Lin Fan took a sip first and then leaned toward Chu Yunyue.

Gulp!

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.

Chu Yunyue changed her clothes and returned to the living room to continue working.

It could not be helped. The International Perfume Exhibition was going to be held tomorrow.

She had to prepare everything.

Lin Fan did not want to disturb Chu Yunyue's work. At the same time, this was his first time going abroad.

Therefore, he chose to go out for a walk.

He walked on the straight sidewalk that was surrounded by houses made of steel and cement.

If it was not for the people of different skin tones passing by, Lin Fan would have thought that he was in a particular city within the country.

Of course, there were still differences between Eagle Country and Hua Nation.

Most of the people in Hua Nation worked hard and were very diligent. Therefore, even if they were walking on the streets, they looked like they were in a hurry.

As for the people in Eagle Country, everyone seemed to be very free.

In a dark alley, someone was holding a bottle of wine and swaying, almost falling to the ground.

Another person was playing the violin and singing on the street.

He also saw someone who was lying down casually…

Lin Fan walked and looked around leisurely.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket vibrated slightly.

12:00 PM!

The red packets were here!

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received three yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,999 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 188 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received a Ferrari 812.]

Lin Fan kept clicking on the red packets and got a total of 45,211 yuan and a Ferrari 812.

Lin Fan was quite familiar with this car.

In order to complete a past mission, he had specially bought one.

Lin Fan's cars were endless.

Therefore, the Ferrari 812 was left in the Coiling Dragon Villa.

Now that he had come to Eagle Country, he did not have a single car. It was good that he had obtained one.

Lin Fan looked around, trying to find the Ferrari 812.

Not far away, a fair-skinned middle-aged woman whispered, "Our son has always said that he wants a sports car. What should we do? With our family's situation, we can't afford a sports car at all."

The fair-skinned middle-aged man said casually, "Don't worry, I'm already prepared. Isn't today our son's birthday? I bought him a fridge so that he can calm down!"

At this moment, a delivery car drove over from afar and stopped steadily in front of them.

"Are you Mr. Lauren?" the courier asked.

"It's me," the middle-aged man replied.

"Your express delivery has arrived," the courier said.

As he spoke, he slowly took out a box that was half the height of a person from the back.

"See that?" The middle-aged man laughed. "It's already here."

As soon as the delivery car left, a young man with golden hair walked over.

In the next moment, he could not take his eyes off something.

He had found a brand-new supercar parked by the roadside. It was his favorite open-top supercar, the Ferrari 812!

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Son, I've prepared a birthday present for you! Do you like it?"

Birthday present?

Was it this Ferrari 812?

That was right!

This must be the case!

The young man said excitedly, "I like it, I like it so much! Daddy, I knew you loved me!"

Then, without waiting for the middle-aged man's reply, he impatiently came to the front of the Ferrari 812 and gently stroked the body of the car. He touched the soft interior… His slightly freckled face was overcome with delight.

At this moment, a tall young woman walked over and asked in surprise, "Is this your car?"

"Yes, it is! My father prepared this as a birthday present for me!" the young man said.

"That's great! Didn't you want me to be your girlfriend? I agree!" the young woman said.

"Good! Hahaha!" The young man shouted happily and then hugged the young woman in his arms.

While they were hugging, they did not notice a Hua Nation man coming to the front of the Ferrari 812. He slowly opened the door and got in.

This person… was Lin Fan.

Lin Fan naturally did not care about the two people hugging each other. He stepped on the accelerator and sped away.

The young man seemed to have heard the sound as well. He hurriedly let go of the young woman and shouted with his eyes wide open, "Hey! My car! My car!"

He shouted as he chased.

However, how could his two legs catch up to the four wheels of a supercar?

The young man had no choice but to return and call out, "Dad, call the police! The Ferrari 812 you gave me was stolen!"

The middle-aged man opened his mouth and said, "That's not my birthday present to you. The real birthday present is actually this refrigerator."

"What?" The young man's eyes widened.

"So, you don't have a sports car. Then I'm not your girlfriend."

359 The Exhibition Begins; Method!

Lin Fan had no idea about the misunderstanding between the young man and his father.

He drove the Ferrari 812 through the streets of Lun City.

Some people said that only those in Hua Nation who had not seen the world would be attracted by sports cars.

If it was overseas, a sports car would just be an ordinary means of transportation. No one would even take a second look at it.

In reality?

Lin Fan was driving the Ferrari 812 on the streets of Lun City. Wherever he went, he would attract the attention of many people.

Just like that, Lin Fan went on a short one-day tour of the city.

In the blink of an eye, the next day arrived.

Today, Chu Yunyue was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a pair of black high heels. She looked very capable.

Under the escort of the Royal Hotel's private car, Chu Yunyue, Lin Fan, the oval-faced woman, and the staff of Flower Stem arrived at the exhibition center very quickly.

The exhibition center was very lively today.

Even at the door, one could easily smell the fragrance that assailed one's nostrils, mesmerizing one.

It seemed like it was also because of this that it attracted an endless stream of people that kept surging in.

Many people with different skin colors came to the booths. They either tried out the perfumes, asked about them, or bought them.

Except for Flower Stem.

The sky gradually darkened, but no one came to Flower Stem's booth.

Chu Yunyue and the employees could not help but feel anxious.

Flower Stem was very popular in Hua Nation.

However, it was not famous overseas.

Therefore, they knew that they would not receive much attention.

Chu Yunyue and the others were mentally prepared.

However, the current situation was far beyond what they had expected.

"My name is Chu Yunyue," replied Chu Yunyue politely.

Brewer's eyes lit up when he heard that. He praised, "Your voice is very pleasant. Also, based on your name, you should be from Hua Nation."

Although Brewer had a plan in his mind, his expression did not change. He continued, "I saw that no one has been visiting your booth. How about it? Do you want to have a drink or two tonight? I'll tell you some methods."

Brewer was a staff member of GR Perfume which had a booth diagonally opposite Flower Stem's booth.

Ever since Chu Yunyue arrived at the booth, Brewer was immediately attracted to her.

Chu Yunyue had the same voluptuous figure as the top beauties of Eagle Country. At the same time, she had exquisite facial features that far surpassed the top beauties of Eagle Country.

In addition, she had a unique exotic temperament.

In Brewer's eyes, Chu Yunyue was the most perfect woman in the world.

Therefore, whenever he had the time, he would sneak a peek at Chu Yunyue.

When today's exhibition was about to end, he could not wait to walk over.

Brewer knew that many people from Hua Nation liked foreigners very much.

Now, he had proposed a way to increase the number of customers at the booth.

He believed that Chu Yunyue would definitely agree to his request.

As long as they drank together, he would have a chance!

Brewer was already cheering in his heart.

However…

"That's alright," said Chu Yunyue.

Chu Yunyue was not a fool considering how she was able to establish such a huge company.

She could tell what Brewer was thinking at a glance.

Then, Chu Yunyue ignored Brewer and said, "Today's exhibition is about to end. Everyone, pack your things and get ready to go back and rest."

Then, she held onto Lin Fan's arm and walked out together.

Seeing this…

Brewer's body stiffened slightly, and his face turned ugly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the third day.

Although Flower Stem could be said to have suffered a huge setback, Chu Yunyue, the oval-faced woman, and the staff of Flower Stem were still in high spirits.

They were looking forward to the day being different.

However, sometimes things went against one's wishes.

The entire morning had passed, but no one was interested in Flower Stem.

Brewer took advantage of the lunch break to come to Chu Yunyue again. He said, "Beautiful Ms. Chu, do you really not want more customers at your booth?

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that my uncle is Alan Peter, the director of Eagle Country Oil Company. I think… you should understand that I have the ability to make your booth have more customers, right?

"Why don't we have lunch together and discuss it properly?"

Brewer noticed that Chu Yunyue already had a boyfriend yesterday.

However, this meant nothing to him.

Not to mention having a boyfriend, even if she was already married… there was no problem with that.

After Brewer finished speaking, he puffed out his chest and made a gesture that he thought was handsome.

He thought that Chu Yunyue would be immediately convinced by his charm after seeing his handsome appearance and hearing that he had an uncle who was the director of Eagle Country Oil Company.

However…

The result was different from what he had expected.

"My boyfriend and I are going out for dinner. Don't block the way!" Chu Yunyue said.

She was an entrepreneur, but at the same time, she could also be considered a businesswoman.

A businessperson would not easily make enemies with others.

Therefore, even if they hated someone, they had to be tactful and polite on the surface.

As for Chu Yunyue… She did not have any intention of being tactful to Brewer, who was suspected to have a powerful background.

After saying that, Chu Yunyue held Lin Fan's arm again and walked out.

Seeing this, Brewer's mouth twitched slightly, and his expression became a little ugly.

Lin Fan had a weird expression on his face as he looked at Brewer. His uncle was the director of Eagle Country Oil Company?

Interesting.

Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue had just finished their lunch. When they returned to the exhibition center, the phone in his pocket rang.

He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number.

Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call.

Very quickly, a somewhat dull and awkward-sounding sentence spoken in the Hua Nation language rang out from the other end.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

Lin Fan said, "Hello, may I know who you are?"

Then, the earlier voice was replaced by a very clear and pleasant voice.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I'm the interpreter for the chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company, Jules Grant. The person who just spoke to you is the chairman, Mr. Jules Grant. He asked me to convey his regards to you again."

360 The Queen's Decision; Arrival!

Lin Fan had received similar calls several times.

Thus…

This time, he was not too surprised. He said indifferently, "Please say my hello to Mr. Jules Grant."

Then, fluent English sounded on the phone.

Even though Lin Fan could clearly understand, he did not point it out.

"Mr. Jules Grant said that he would like to thank you for your trust in Eagle Country Oil Company and for becoming the second largest shareholder of the company…"

Generally speaking, the interpreter's tone should always be consistent.

However, when she said this, there was an obvious change.

One had to know…

Eagle Country Oil Company… was a super company with a market value of more than a trillion yuan.

The man she was speaking to on the other end of the line had actually become the second-largest shareholder!

He was definitely a big shot who could hold the heavens in his hands!

"Mr. Lin, may I know where you are now? Is it convenient for us to meet?" the interpreter continued after a pause.

Lin Fan said, "I'm in Eagle Country now. As for the meeting… I'm at the exhibition center in Lun City to participate in the International Perfume Exhibition. I'm afraid I don't have much time for the time being."

There was no sound from the other line.

Obviously, Lin Fan's answer surprised Jules Grant.

After a while, the interpreter said, "So, you're in Lun City. That's great! Mr. Jules Grant will definitely pay a visit personally later."

Lin Fan chatted for a while more before hanging up.

Just as the interpreter had said, Jules Grant was indeed going to pay a visit.

However, just as he got in the car, the phone in his pocket rang.

He looked at the caller ID, and his expression became slightly solemn. He quickly picked up the phone and said respectfully, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Your Majesty?

Jules Grant called out softly, but there was no response from the other side of the phone.

"Huh? Did I accidentally make a call? Lil Jules, hello!"

Lil Grant?

One had to know that Jules Grant was already 61 years old!

In addition… as the chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company, how many people in this world could call him Lil Jules?

Queen Ibai was obviously among them!

That was because she was the queen of Eagle Country, and she was 91 years old!

"Greetings, Queen Ibai," Jules Grant said hurriedly.

"Your oil company… How's the situation recently?" Queen Ibai asked.

"Recently, the development has been stable and the overall situation is good," Jules Grant said.

Queen Ibai nodded and said, "That's not bad… Today is a workday. Are you still busy at the company?"

"I'm on my way to the exhibition center," Jules Grant answered truthfully.

"Exhibition center?" Queen Ibai was puzzled.

"Yes, because there seems to be an International Perfume Exhibition there today. Our company's new second-largest shareholder is exhibiting there," Jules Grant said.

"Perfume!" Queen Ibai sighed.

Then, she seemed to have fallen asleep.

For a long time, there was no sound from the phone.

Jules Grant did not dare to disturb her and just held his phone silently.

At this moment, Queen Ibai spoke again, "What a nostalgic time. Lil Jules, let me go to the perfume exhibition with you."

"Huh?" Jules Grant was slightly stunned. He did not expect the queen to make such a request.

Queen Ibai did not give him much time to react. "That's all. Come to the palace first."

After hanging up, Queen Ibai made two more calls.

Immediately after, the luxurious motorcade, the guards, and so on all moved quickly.

The queen was a noble person, so she had to show royal dignity and ensure her safety!

The commotion in the palace was quickly noticed by a pale and thin little girl.

When the little girl arrived at the main hall, Queen Ibai asked, "My cute Lil Riley, why are you here? How are you feeling?"

This little girl was called Riley, and she was Queen Ibai's 15th great-granddaughter.

At the same time, she was also Queen Ibai's favorite great-granddaughter.

Unfortunately, shortly after she was born, she suddenly suffered from a very strange illness. She had a loss of appetite, and she often vomited and fainted…

The doctors did all kinds of tests, but they were still unable to determine the illness…

"Riley is feeling very well," Riley said.

"Alright, as long as Lil Riley is fine." Queen Ibai smiled kindly.

"You seem to be sleeping very late recently. You have to take care of your health," Riley said.

"Alright, alright!" Queen Ibai said happily. "My Lil Riley is so obedient. You're even showing concern for me!"

An old man and a young man chatted casually in the hall. The topic was very relaxed, and they would laugh from time to time.

At this moment, Riley finally said, "I heard that you're going to the exhibition center to attend a perfume exhibition. Can you bring me along?"

As she said this, her big eyes flashed.

Obviously, she was looking forward to this.

Queen Ibai opened her mouth but did not agree immediately.

That was because she knew that Riley's physical condition was very bad.

Some doctors even said that accidents could happen at any time.

To participate in a perfume exhibition in such a physical condition… After all, there were too many people there. What if…

Rationally, Queen Ibai did not want her great-granddaughter to go to the perfume exhibition.

However, when she looked at Riley's expectant eyes, her heart softened.

Ever since it was discovered that Riley was suffering from a strange illness, she had been staying in the palace almost every day. She was like a canary in a cage.

Perfume was like flowers, possessing a mesmerizing charm.

The perfume exhibition was like a blooming flower, attracting all the women.

It just so happened that there was a perfume exhibition today…

If Riley missed it, would there be a next time?

At the thought of this, Queen Ibai finally said, "Okay, then I'll bring you to the perfume exhibition."

"Really?" Riley shouted excitedly.

Queen Ibai smiled when she saw how happy she was. "Of course, it's true."

"That's great!" Riley could not help but hug Queen Ibai's arm.

At this moment, the sound of brisk footsteps could be heard from outside.

Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in European noble clothes slowly walked in.

He bowed slightly and said in a very respectful tone, "Respected Queen, Mr. Jules Grant requests an audience."

361 Wanting to Meet!

In the afternoon, Eagle Country Exhibition Center was as lively as in the morning.

The situation at Flower Stem's booth was still the same. No one was interested.

Even though Chu Yunyue had already rejected Brewer twice in a row, whenever he had some free time, he would come to look for Chu Yunyue.

"Beautiful Ms. Chu, it seems that no one is visiting your booth. How about we have a few drinks tonight and discuss it?

"I might not have made myself clear yesterday. In fact, before long, I'll also enter Eagle Country Oil Company and join the ranks of its management. Therefore, you can absolutely believe in my abilities."

As he said this, he puffed out his chest.

Eagle Country Oil Company was definitely one of the companies with the best benefits in Eagle Country.

Yesterday, he was showing off his background.

Today, he was showing off his future.

He believed that Chu Yunyue would definitely be attracted to him.

The continuous harassment made Chu Yunyue completely disgusted.

She frowned and was about to speak.

At this moment, the already lively exhibition center suddenly became extremely noisy, and there were occasional cries of surprise.

"Queen Ibai is here!"

"Queen Ibai has come to the exhibition center to participate in the International Perfume Exhibition!"

"Heavens!"

Just as everyone had said, Queen Ibai was indeed here!

At this moment, Queen Ibai, Jules Grant, Riley, and a group of nobles were slowly walking into the exhibition center.

Queen Ibai's expression did not change much, but her heart was filled with nostalgia.

Due to her health, she rarely left the palace and had never participated in any perfume exhibition.

At this moment, she looked at the various booths and smelled the rich fragrance in the air. Her entire thin face was filled with excitement.

"His name is Lin Fan, but I haven't seen him yet. If the Queen wishes to see him, I'll ask him to come over," Jules Grant said honestly.

"Alright," Queen Ibai nodded and said.

Even Queen Ibai could not ignore Eagle Country's Oil Company.

Jules Grant first dialed Lin Fan's number, but unfortunately, no one picked up.

He had just told the Queen that he would look for the second-largest shareholder.

How could he say now that he could not find him?

What would the queen think of him?

Jules Grant felt helpless as he quickly walked away.

In that case, he would go and find Lin Fan himself.

Jules Grant quickly walked forward and searched for Lin Fan in the crowd.

Luckily, Jules Grant knew that Lin Fan was of Hua Nation nationality. He would stand out among the fair-skinned and dark-skinned people of Eagle Country.

Even so, Jules Grant spent nearly half an hour looking around before he finally saw Flower Stem's booth. His gaze was locked on a tall, handsome man of Hua descent.

"Mr. Lin!" Jules Grant shouted excitedly.

He shouted and ran toward Flower Stem's booth.

When Lin Fan heard someone calling him, he turned around slowly.

Although this was a foreign man with a beard, Lin Fan relied on his superb memory to easily identify him from his voice.

Jules Grant had just run over, but before he could say anything, Brewer, who was standing at the side, took the lead and said in an extremely respectful and excited tone, "Hello, Mr. Grant."

Brewer's uncle was the director of Eagle Country Oil Company, and he had always wanted to enter Eagle Country Oil Company.

Therefore, he paid more attention to the news and higher-ups of Eagle Country Oil Company compared to the average person.

Brewer did not expect to meet the chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company at the perfume exhibition today.

In his opinion, this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If only he could leave a slight impression on the chairman.

In that case, after some time, when he successfully entered Eagle Country Oil Company, would he not be able to immediately be promoted and make a fortune?

Thinking of this, Brewer felt excited.

Every day, countless people would greet Jules Grant.

Usually, Jules Grant would just nod in response.

He could also just pretend that he did not hear them.

It would be too tiring to answer all of them one by one.

However, when Jules Grant saw that Brewer and Lin Fan were standing together, he thought that he was Lin Fan's friend.

Thus, he nodded and said, "Hello, hello."

The chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company had greeted him!

Although it was just a simple reply, it sounded like heavenly music to Brewer's ears. He was filled with endless joy.

However, Jules Grant did not pay attention to Brewer anymore.

Then, he said to Lin Fan in English in a respectful tone, "Mr. Lin, so you're here."

The interpreter beside him translated the words.

Lin Fan said, "I'm the major shareholder of Flower Stem. Of course, I'm here."

" I see," Jules Grant said. "Oh right, our Queen Ibai wants to see you."

"Why does Queen Ibai want to see me?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

In fact, Lin Fan was not the only one who was confused. Chu Yunyue and the others were also confused.

However, before Jules Grant could answer, there was another commotion not far away.

"Greetings, Queen Ibai!"

"Greetings, Queen Ibai!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

They saw a large group of luxuriously dressed men and women walking over.

The person walking at the front had a head full of hair and a peaceful expression. It was Queen Ibai, who often appeared on television and the news.

Queen Ibai waved her hand gently in response to the greetings from the people around her.

When she turned her head, she happened to see Jules Grant standing in front of Flower Stem's booth. She could not help but walk forward slowly.

"Lil Jules, you're here?" Queen Ibai said.

"Yes…" Jules Grant respectfully said. "This is Mr. Lin."

When Queen Ibai heard this, she could not help but size Lin Fan up. Her kind face revealed a look of surprise.

When she heard Jules Grant introduce Lin Fan's name, she had already guessed that he was a man from Hua Nation. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗o𝚟𝚎𝚕.org

However, she did not expect Lin Fan to be so young.

After a while, Queen Ibai said, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

Lin Fan replied, "Queen Ibai, nice to meet you."

When he said this, his eyes inadvertently fell on Riley, who was standing beside Queen Ibai, and he frowned slightly.

362 Attack; Heal!

Observation, smell, question, and pulse-taking were the methods of diagnosis in traditional medicine.

Some highly skilled doctors could judge a person's physical condition with just a glance.

Lin Fan had obtained Sun Simiao's Medical Experience. Sun Simiao was the king of medicine. Naturally, he was a brilliant traditional medicine practitioner.

Lin Fan could tell that there was something wrong with Riley's body.

Moreover, the problem was huge!

Queen Ibai noticed that Lin Fan was staring at Riley and asked, "Mr. Lin, this is my great-granddaughter, Riley. What's the matter?"

Even if he was staring at an ordinary girl, it was not a very polite thing to do.

Lin Fan said, "One minute. I estimate that she'll faint in about one minute. She'll be in critical condition!"

Chu Yunyue, the oval-faced woman, and the staff of Flower Stem…

Originally, they were extremely excited because of Queen Ibai's arrival.

However, after hearing Lin Fan's words, everyone froze.

What did Lin Fan mean?

One had to know that Queen Ibai had just said that Riley was her great-granddaughter, the princess of Eagle Country!

In the end, Lin Fan said that she was going to faint in one minute and would be in critical condition?!

What was this?

Was he cursing her?

He was cursing Eagle Country's princess?

If Queen Ibai blamed him…

Because of Lin Fan's words, the atmosphere turned heavy.

At this moment, Riley, who was looking around curiously, suddenly rolled her eyes and fell to the ground.

Queen Ibai's heart tightened, and she hurriedly called out, "Doctor!"

The nobles beside her also shouted.

"Doctor, come quickly!"

When the queen went out, the doctor would always follow her.

He quickly ran over.

The doctor lifted Riley's eyelids and listened to her heartbeat.

Then, he took out a syringe and injected it into Riley's snow-white arm.

Obviously, the doctor had a deep understanding of Riley's condition.

After doing this, the doctor heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Your Highness, she should wake up soon."

In the past, the doctor had always treated Riley like this.

The effect was also very good.

However…

This time, after he finished speaking, Riley suddenly began to foam at the corner of her mouth, and her eyeballs kept rolling.

Seeing this…

The doctor's heart tightened, and a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

He quickly bent down and began to perform emergency treatment on Riley, but it was useless.

"Doctor, how is it?" Queen Ibai asked anxiously.

The doctor quickly said, "Maybe it's because the dosage of the medicine isn't enough. I'll give the princess another injection."

After saying that, he took out another syringe and was about to inject it into Riley's arm.

t this moment, Lin Fan suddenly shouted, "Don't inject anymore! Do you want her to die?"

Lin Fan was not a saint.

However, when he saw Riley fall ill in front of him…

For some reason, Lin Fan suddenly recalled the scene of his sister falling sick.

As he spoke, he pushed the doctor to the ground.

The guards thought that Lin Fan was a dangerous person and wanted to stop him.

At this moment, Lin Fan said, "I can save her!"

Lin Fan's every sentence was translated by the interpreter.

When Queen Ibai heard this, she suddenly thought of what Lin Fan had said earlier.

'One minute. She'll faint in one minute and be in critical condition!"

"Everyone, stand down!" Queen Ibai hurriedly said."

No one dared to disobey the queen's orders!

The guards retreated.

Immediately, Queen Ibai, Jules Grant, Chu Yunyue, and everyone else focused their attention on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan opened a bottle of Flower Stem's perfume and placed it by Riley's nose.

About half a minute later, Riley stopped foaming.

Obviously, it had alleviated her symptoms.

Lin Fan thought for a moment and spent ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system. He poured it into Riley's mouth.

With Lin Fan's current medical skills, even without the use of any healing potions, he could still completely cure Riley.

However, if Lin Fan were to save her, he would need to prescribe a prescription, get the medicine, and so on. It would be too troublesome.

Lin Fan hated trouble.

After consuming Medical Water, Riley slowly opened her eyes.

Riley saw that she was lying on the ground while Queen Ibai and everyone around her were looking at her. She said timidly, "Did… Did I get sick again?"

Seeing this…

Jules Grant could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

When Lin Fan pushed the doctor away and said that he could save Riley, his heart was in his throat.

Lin Fan was the second-largest shareholder of Eagle Country Oil Company.

At the same time, he was the one who introduced him to Queen Ibai.

If anything happened, he would definitely be unable to escape the responsibility!

The consequences would definitely be terrifying!

"Good, good! It's good that you're awake!" Queen Ibai said happily.

After a pause, she said, "Quickly thank Mr. Lin. He saved you."

"Thank you…" Riley said timidly. "Mr. Lin."

"You're welcome," said Lin Fan.

"I wonder what you used to save my Lil Riley?" Queen Ibai asked.

As she spoke, her slightly cloudy eyes landed on the Flower Stem perfume in Lin Fan's hand.

Lin Fan did not hesitate and passed it over casually, "A bottle of perfume."

Queen Ibai was slightly stunned.

A bottle of perfume?

He used perfume to wake up her great-granddaughter?

Queen Ibai slowly took the perfume with doubts in her heart. She placed it by her nose and sniffed it gently before nodding slightly.

Although the distance was quite far, when Lin Fan opened the bottle, Queen Ibai could still smell the fragrance.

At this moment, when she smelled it again, she could not help but praise, "What a nice smell. It has distinct layers. I like it very much."

After a pause, she continued, "Mr. Lin… In the future, if Lil Riley falls ill again, will she only need to smell this perfume? Is there a way to cure her completely?"

As she said this, Queen Ibai's usually calm face revealed an obvious look of anticipation.

She loved Riley very much. Every time she saw her fall ill, she felt very uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, no doctor could cure her.

Today, Queen Ibai saw a glimmer of hope.

Lin Fan said calmly, "Don't worry, she won't fall ill again."

When Queen Ibai heard this, even she could not help but become excited.

"Really? Has she completely recovered?"

"Yes," Lin Fan replied.

"That's great!" Queen Ibai shouted excitedly.

363 Purchasing; Apologizing!

As Queen Ibai spoke, she could not help but look at Riley.

Her originally pale face was now flushed with a healthy red color.

Alright!

Riley had really recovered!

"Mr. Lin, may I purchase a batch of this perfume?" Queen Ibai asked after some thought.

Her thoughts were simple.

It did not matter if Riley was completely cured or not.

However, one thing was certain.

This perfume would definitely be helpful to Riley's condition.

Sniffing this perfume was obviously more suitable than getting an injection!

In addition, Queen Ibai really liked the smell of the perfume.

Chu Yunyue, the oval-faced woman, and the staff of Flower Stem all revealed unconcealable excitement when they heard this.

Finally, someone wanted to buy Flower Stem's perfume.

Moreover…

This person was the queen of Eagle Country!

This was good news!

This was definitely great news!

Compared to Chu Yunyue and the others, Lin Fan was much calmer.

"Of course!" he said casually. "This perfume is called Flower Stem. In fact, what you have is only part of the collection. There are many other different perfumes."

As he spoke, Lin Fan placed all the perfumes on the table.

Queen Ibai sniffed all the perfumes and nodded slowly. "They all smell very good. I'll buy 100 bottles of each perfume."

"Alright," said Lin Fan.

At this moment, a noblewoman whispered something into Queen Ibai's ear.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome," Lin Fan said.

The two of them exchanged a few more words before Queen Ibai turned around and left.

Even though Queen Ibai had left, the people who had been watching from the start were still focused on Flower Stem's booth.

The chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company, Jules Grant, looked at Lin Fan with admiration and envy.

"Mr. Lin, you're really amazing! You actually used perfume to wake up our Princess Riley! In the future, your perfume will definitely be world-famous!"

Lin Fan said, "World-famous? That would be very difficult!"

Then, he pointed at Brewer and said, "Mr. Brewer's uncle is Alan Peter, the director of Eagle Country Oil Company.

"And he himself is about to join the management of Eagle Country Oil Company… He used this identity to get my girlfriend to go on a date with him. He also used this to say that he could help our Flower Stem attract customers."

The interpreter at the side quickly translated Lin Fan's words.

Using his identity to invite Mr. Lin's girlfriend on a date?

He was a mere nephew of a director, yet he said he was about to become a manager?

How dare he?

How dare he?

Not to mention that Lin Fan was the second-largest shareholder of Eagle Country Oil Company, just the fact that Lin Fan had just saved Princess Riley meant he absolutely could not be offended!

Jules Grant finally shouted, "How dare you?! Let me tell you, if Alan Peter is really your uncle, he will receive the punishment he deserves. Also, don't even think about entering Eagle Country Oil Company in this lifetime!"

Brewer's face instantly turned pale.

Eagle Country Oil Company was one of the companies that gave out the best benefits in Eagle Country.

In order to join, he had spent a lot of effort.

Now… all his hopes were dashed?

In addition, would his uncle be punished because of him?

His uncle would kill him.

He definitely would!

Thinking of this, Brewer shouted in fear, "No, no, no. Don't… M-Mr. Chairman, please let me go…"

However, Jules Grant acted as if he did not hear him and did not care at all.

Then, Brewer begged Lin Fan, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry. I'm shameless. I'm despicable… I beg you, please forgive me. I beg you…"

"Get lost!" Lin Fan spat out coldly.

Although it was only two words, Brewer was frightened.

He gritted his teeth and was about to plead again when Jules Grant said, "Didn't you hear? Mr. Lin told him to get lost!"

The two muscular black men beside him were like ferocious beasts. They directly stepped forward and drove Brewer out. b𝚎dn𝚘v𝚎l.𝚌𝚘m

The entire venue fell silent.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry. I can't believe such an unpleasant thing happened…" Jules Grant apologized.

Lin Fan said calmly, "Every company will have some parasites, but the situation still needs to be managed."

"Yes, yes… Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I'll definitely be stricter with my employees," Jules Grant hurriedly said.

"Are you free now, Mr. Lin? I'll give you a simple report on the situation of Eagle Country Oil Company last year and the direction of development in the coming year… If you have any other suggestions, you can also raise them…"

Lin Fan waved his hand. "No need. I'm not interested in this. It's best to leave professional matters to the professionals. Everything will develop according to the direction you have set."

Jules Grant heaved a sigh of relief.

Lin Fan was too young, but he had too many shares in the company.

It would be very troublesome if he were to command the companies' strategies.

The method that Lin Fan mentioned was the best.

Jules Grant thought to himself, then said, "Really? Alright then… If you have any suggestions for the company in the future, you can tell me at any time."

While the two were chatting, Flower Stem's booth was already filled with people.

"Hello, I want to buy your perfumes."

"I want 100 bottles!"

"I want 200 bottles!"

The sky gradually darkened.

Chu Yunyue, Lin Fan, and the staff of Flower Stem finally returned to the Royal Hotel.

Everyone was very busy this afternoon.

However, their faces were all filled with smiles.

The oval-faced woman said excitedly, "We were almost as popular as we are back home today!"

"That's right! If it wasn't for the fact that the exhibition was about to end, those people wouldn't have been willing to leave at all," another person said.

"In the past, people always said that foreigners had good qualities and never cut lines. In the afternoon, I saw a few foreigners cut the queue to buy our perfumes," the man in the white shirt said.

"Did you stop them?" the oval-faced woman asked.

"Of course!" the man in the shirt said. "I told them to queue up again. Otherwise, I wouldn't sell them anything!"

"Beautifully done!" the oval-faced woman exclaimed.

364 Dream; Not the Largest Shareholder!

The employees of Flower Stem chatted and laughed, the atmosphere extremely heated.

Even Chu Yunyue could not help but smile.

It had always been Chu Yunyue's dream to make Flower Stem the world's top perfume brand.

What happened this afternoon had taken her one big step closer to this dream!

"How many orders have we received in total?" Chu Yunyue asked.

"108,900 bottles!" the oval-faced woman said.

"Not bad!" Chu Yunyue nodded in satisfaction.

Then, she looked at Lin Fan curiously and asked, "Lin Fan, why can our Flower Stem's perfume heal Princess Riley?"

Everyone in Flower Stem pricked up their ears.

Obviously, they were also very curious about this matter.

They had seen it with their own eyes… At that time, Riley looked very pitiful. 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶

Her face was pale, she had fainted, and she was foaming at the mouth…

Even the doctor did not seem to know what to do.

In the end, Lin Fan took out the Flower Stem's perfume and placed it by Riley's nose for her to sniff for half a minute. Immediately, she stopped foaming at the mouth and her complexion turned for the better.

When he fed Riley some liquid, she immediately woke up.

In the eyes of everyone, this was simply too unbelievable.

Lin Fan said, "Riley's mother must've had a difficult birth. Riley's body is weak, and she catches a cold easily.

"So, Eagle Country's royal family placed her in a confined space for a long time and gave her a lot of supplements.

"However, a child's body can't absorb that many supplements. In addition, there was a long-term lack of air circulation… It caused problems in her respiratory system, digestive system, and so on.

"Riley had been sealed off from the world for a long time. Today, she walked for a long time in the exhibition center that was filled with different fragrances. This increased the burden on her respiratory system, which eventually caused her to fall ill."

"If that's the case, then why did she get better after smelling our perfume?" Chu Yunyue asked again.

"That's because I took the wind series," Lin Fan said.

"Mint was added to the wind series."

Lin Fan was a perfume expert and knew all kinds of perfumes like the back of his hand. In addition, he had Sun Simiao's Medical Experience, so he easily came up with a simple treatment plan.

After hearing Lin Fan's explanation, everyone's faces lit up.

At this moment, Chu Yunyue seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, why does the chairman of Eagle Country Oil Company know you and treat you so respectfully?"

"Don't tell me you're the boss of Eagle Country Oil Company or the largest shareholder?"

The oval-faced woman and the employees of Flower Stem perked up their ears again.

They were also very concerned about this.

"That's not it," Lin Fan said.

Chu Yunyue was slightly relieved after hearing what he had to say.

Lin Fan was already the owner of Eagle Country's Royal Hotel and the biggest shareholder of Xia Airlines.

What if he was also the boss or the largest shareholder of an oil company?

Their little hearts would be unable to accept it.

At this moment, Lin Fan continued, "I only have 10% of Eagle Country Oil Company's shares. I can be considered their second-largest shareholder."

Silence!

The entire scene was silent!

Chu Yunyue, the oval-faced woman, and the staff of Flower Stem were all stunned.

With 10% of Eagle Country Oil Company's shares, he was the second-largest shareholder?

One had to know…

Eagle Country Oil Company was a super company with a market value of more than a trillion!

10% of the shares would be worth more than 100 billion!

It was true that Lin Fan was indeed not the biggest shareholder nor the boss.

However, 10% of the shares was a lot, alright?!

Lin Fan saw that everyone was in a daze and could not help but say, "What's wrong with you guys? Let's go. The food should be ready."

"Ah… Alright, alright," Chu Yunyue replied.

Then, the group continued to walk forward.

Just as Lin Fan said, the food was ready.

When they pushed open the VIP room, they saw very exquisite and sumptuous dishes placed neatly on the table.

Everyone was very busy today, and they were indeed a little hungry.

When they saw the delicacies, they all ate heartily.

When Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue returned to the luxurious suite, it was already an hour later.

They sat in front of the tall floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the busy road outside and the pitch-black river in the distance. They felt extremely relaxed.

It felt like they were not in Eagle Country but back at home in Jiangbei.

Home?

Chu Yunyue's heart softened when she thought of this term.

She could not help but turn her head and look at Lin Fan. Her beautiful gem-like eyes flashed.

At this moment, Chu Yunyue could not help but think of Lin Fan's use of perfume knowledge that far exceeded ordinary people. It allowed him to create a fascinating perfume.

She thought of Lin Fan picking up the microphone and singing a heavenly song.

She thought about how Lin Fan had used the perfume to save someone and how it had caused Flower Stem, which no one cared about, to become extremely popular…

These things were like scenes from a movie, rippling in Chu Yunyue's mind.

Gradually, Chu Yunyue's beautiful eyes went from shining to becoming a little dazed.

Then, she could not help but get closer to Lin Fan.

o(ε*)

(*3)(ε*)

A strong wind blew outside the window, causing the river water to beat against the dam, making a crisp sound.

The next day, the sky was bright.

Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. The entire suite was empty. There was a note on the table.

[Today is the last day of the perfume exhibition. I'll go to the exhibition center first. Remember to have breakfast later! Mwacks! Chu Yunyue.]

When Lin Fan saw the note, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He could almost imagine Chu Yunyue's sweet smile when she wrote the note.

Then, he glanced at his phone out of habit.

A text message appeared on the screen.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,493,100 yuan was deposited into your account.]

"Let's see what we can from signing in today," Lin Fan muttered.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,000,000 yuan.]

Lin Fan pursed his lips and said, "What bad luck."

Then, he picked up the phone on the table and said, "Send some breakfast up."

The best service was offered to Lin Fan's luxurious suite.

Soon, truffle slices, toast, ham, M5 beef, black tea, and other exquisite breakfast dishes were served.

Lin Fan ate his breakfast while playing with his phone. He was very relaxed and satisfied.

365 Long Line; Welcome!

After a hearty meal, Lin Fan did not stay in the Royal Hotel for long.

He drove the Ferrari 812 alone toward the exhibition center.

He did not know where it was because today was the last day of the perfume exhibition or if there was another reason.

There seemed to be more people at the exhibition center today than two days ago. The number of people at the entrance was at least twice as many as two days ago.

However, when Lin Fan walked into the exhibition center, he realized that it was empty. Other than a few staff members, there were no customers at all.

What was going on?

Lin Fan was a little confused as he walked forward.

The next moment, he was stunned.

Not far away, there was a dense crowd of people who were all standing in a long line.

How many people were there?

500?

1,000?

Or tens of thousands?

Everyone in the exhibition center was probably queuing up here, right?

Lin Fan followed the mass of people and strode forward, looking into the distance.

Finally, his gaze landed at the end of the line… It was Flower Stem's booth.

These people were all queuing up for Flower Stem's booth. Were they all here to buy the perfume?

In reality, it was just as Lin Fan had expected.

They were indeed here to buy perfumes from Flower Stem!

"Give me 1,000 bottles of each perfume!" a Caucasian man said.

"I'm sorry, but we've limited it to five bottles per person," the oval-faced woman said.

"What? Five bottles? Are you trying to get rid of customers? Hurry up and get me 1,000 bottles!" The Caucasian man shouted and slammed the table.

The oval-faced woman frowned and said, "If you continue to cause trouble, we'll blacklist you and won't sell any products to you."

"Then… Then give me five bottles."

After paying, he did not leave immediately.

Instead, he turned around and went to the back of the line to queue again.

Seeing this…

Lin Fan's face revealed a strange look.

At this moment, the oval-faced woman happened to see Lin Fan and said excitedly, "Mr. Lin, you're here?"

Chu Yunyue and the others, who had been busy, stopped what they were doing and looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, "Yeah, I'll help too."

" No need," Chu Yunyue said. "They can line up and register slowly. You can just sit and rest."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "As a major shareholder, won't I be too useless if I do that? Let me do something. It's boring to just do nothing."

Chu Yunyue thought for a moment and said, "Then you can make an electronic version of these names and addresses, classify them, and summarize them."

"Alright," Lin Fan replied.

Lin Fan placed his hands on the keyboard. Like a phantom, he quickly entered the names, addresses, and numbers into the laptop. Then, he categorized and summarized the areas, numbers, types, and so on.

This scene made Chu Yunyue's eyes ripple.

Lin Fan first displayed his perfume knowledge that was far superior to ordinary people. Then, he displayed his singing voice which was like the sound of nature.

Then, with incredible medical skills, he used perfume to wake up Riley.

Today, he displayed his superb computer skill.

Lin Fan… What else could he not do?

In Chu Yunyue's eyes, Lin Fan was shining like the sun.

The setting sun dyed the clouds in the distance red, as if celebrating the successful conclusion of this perfume exhibition.

There was still a long line at Flower Stem's booth. After the exhibition center notified them that the event was over and security guards came to chase them away, everyone reluctantly left.

Today, all the employees of Flower Stem were extremely busy.

However, they did not show any signs of suffering.

On the contrary, their faces were full of happiness and fulfillment.

At this moment, Lin Fan said, "Everyone has worked hard these few days. Tonight, let's go to the palace to relax."

In the afternoon, Lin Fan received an invitation from the royal family. They wanted him to come to the palace to attend a banquet to thank him for saving Princess Riley.

At that time, Lin Fan asked if he could bring other people along.

Regarding this… the royal family directly gave an affirmative answer.

Flower Stem's employees immediately let out excited cries.

Under the escort of the Rolls-Royce fleet, a tall and ancient-looking palace gradually appeared in Lin Fan's and the others' sights.

After entering, they saw clear streams, green plants of various shapes, and jagged hills everywhere. It could be said that there was a perfect scene with every step, making people linger and praise what they were seeing.

In the distance, a man in a black suit said in fluent Hua Nation language, "Mr. Lin, nice to meet you."

Yesterday, this man had gone to the exhibition center with Queen Ibai and the others. He had been to Flower Stem's booth as well.

Even though Lin Fan did not communicate with him at all, he had a photographic memory and easily remembered him.

When Lin Fan and the others approached, the man in the black suit continued, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Maron Melvin."

It was also when they got closer that everyone smelled a familiar perfume on him. It was the scent of Flower Stem's perfume.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Melvin," Lin Fan said.

"Mr. Lin, your perfume is amazing!" Maron Melvin exclaimed. "It has a wonderful smell. In addition, it makes me feel energetic. This should be considered holy water in Hua Nation, right?"

Holy water?

This was the psychological effect that Maron Melvin had after seeing Lin Fan use Flower Stem's perfume to save Princess Riley.

Even the princess, who was suffering from a chronic illness, could be treated. Of course, it would be of great benefit to his body.

In fact, this was also one of the reasons why many people fought to buy the perfume today.

Due to the media, many people in Hua Nation felt that the locals were stupid while foreigners were smart.

In reality?

The vast majority of foreigners could not compare to the people of Hua Nation.

Lin Fan did not expose Maron Melvin's words and said casually, "As long as you like it."

"Of course, I like it. I won't use any perfume that isn't from Flower Stem in the future!" Maron Melvin immediately exclaimed.

The two of them chatted as they walked.

Not long after, they arrived at the magnificent palace.

At this moment, men and women who looked very luxurious in formal attire were standing in the palace. Some were in groups of three or two, whispering to each other, while others were chuckling with their lips pursed… The atmosphere was extremely relaxed.

Someone seemed to have noticed Lin Fan who had just walked in and could not help but say, "Welcome, Mr. Lin."

Immediately, the people who were conversing with each other turned around in unison, and their gazes landed on today's main character… Lin Fan.

366 Praise; Courtesy!

"Mr. Lin, welcome!"

"So, this is Mr. Lin. He's younger than I thought."

"How young!"

A wave of welcoming and discussion rang out in the palace.

All the topics were about Lin Fan.

Lin Fan did not care too much about this.

He looked at the food and wine neatly placed on the table and turned to the staff of Flower Stem. "Everyone should be hungry."

As he spoke, he took a drumstick first.

In fact…

Everyone from Flower Stem was indeed a little hungry.

With Lin Fan taking the initiative, they did not hesitate anymore. They picked up the steak, chicken, and other delicacies and started eating in big mouthfuls.

At this moment, a crisp sound rang out not far away.

Then, a beautiful figure slowly walked over.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

Behind Lin Fan, a magnetic voice sounded, and there came the refreshing fragrance of Flower Stem's perfume.

When Lin Fan heard that, he turned around slowly.

He saw a lady with fair skin, a voluptuous figure, exquisite facial features, and a head of silver hair that was tied up high. She wore a small silver crown… She gave off the feeling of a fairy walking out of a fairy tale. She was filled with a noble and sacred aura.

Although it was his first time seeing her, Lin Fan felt a sense of familiarity from the other party.

"Hello," he said after a while.

"I'm Riley's sister, Talia. Thank you for saving poor little Riley," Talia said sincerely.

Lin Fan thought to himself, 'So, she's Riley's older sister. No wonder she's so familiar. However, it's rare that she's so fluent in the language of Hua Nation!'

"Mr. Lin, may I ask if you used Hua Nation's magic—no, I should say a legendary technique—to save Lil Riley?"

Obviously, she was extremely curious about this.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "It's not a legendary technique but traditional Hua Nation medicine."

"Hua Nation medicine? It's really amazing!" Talia said.

Then, she asked some questions about traditional medicine.

Lin Fan, who had Sun Simiao's Medical Experience, could answer all of them easily.

As Talia listened to Lin Fan's narration, it was as if she was listening to a fairy tale. She was extremely fascinated.

At this moment, soft music sounded in the spacious hall.

At the same time, all the bright lights disappeared.

In its place were swaying stage lights.

"Mr. Lin, may I have a dance with you?" Talia asked.

Then, she seemed to have thought of something and turned to Chu Yunyue. "This should be Ms. Chu, right? May I borrow Mr. Lin for a few minutes?"

"Of course, no problem." Chu Yunyue smiled.

From the looks of it, Talia seemed to be obsessed with Lin Fan.

However… Chu Yunyue was not jealous. On the contrary, she was very happy.

It was because Lin Fan was the person she liked.

At the same time, she had never thought of possessing Lin Fan alone.

The fact that Lin Fan was able to attract more people, including the princess of Eagle Country… Chu Yunyue was naturally very happy.

This further proved that the person she liked was very outstanding.

"Mr. Lin, shall we dance together?" Talia asked again.

Lin Fan said, "But… I've never danced."

"It's okay. I'll teach you." Talia did not wait for Lin Fan to speak again. She held his hand and walked toward the center of the dance floor.

She swayed her body to the music. At the same time, she did not forget to guide Lin Fan along with her.

Soon, Talia realized that she did not even need to guide Lin Fan.

On the contrary, she was the one receiving a lot of help from Lin Fan. He helped her make her movements smoother and smoother. She performed a perfect dance that she had never done before.

This kind of situation had never happened before despite dancing with the best dancers for many years.

Chu Yunyue was watching Lin Fan and Talia from afar.

Looking at their agile figures and elegant movements…

It was as if they were a pair of elves dancing in a dense forest. It was mesmerizing.

Chu Yunyue was still not jealous. Her beautiful eyes shone even brighter.

Lin Fan's knowledge of perfumes far exceeded that of ordinary people. His singing voice was like the sound of nature, and his medical skills were amazing.

She also realized that Lin Fan had superb dancing skills.

It was impressive enough for anyone to possess one of these abilities.

However, Lin Fan alone possessed all of them.

Chu Yunyue even had a feeling that this was not all of Lin Fan's abilities!

With this thought in mind, Chu Yunyue's heart began to beat wildly.

He… was the person she liked!

The music gradually stopped, and all the stage lights gathered on Lin Fan and Talia.

Immediately, the resplendent palace was filled with warm applause.

In the past, they applauded mostly out of courtesy.

This time… everyone was sincere.

That was because Lin Fan and Talia's dance was simply too good.

Talia smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, you just said that you haven't danced before… Lying will make one grow a big nose."

Lin Fan wanted to check if his nose had grown. He rubbed his nose and smiled helplessly.

In fact, he was not lying. He really had not danced.

However, Lin Fan had obtained Expert-Level Dance Techniques before.

He did not even need to have danced before. His body could instinctively perform an excellent dance.

He could not explain it at all.

At this moment, a series of dull footsteps sounded in the distance.

Following that, Queen Ibai, who had a benevolent expression without losing the dignity of the royal family, and a group of nobles slowly walked over.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," everyone in the hall said in unison.

"Welcome, everyone." Queen Ibai nodded.

Then, she used her slightly turbid eyes to scan the hall.

Finally, her gaze landed on Lin Fan.

"Mr. Lin, welcome to Eagle Country's palace."

"Thank you, Queen," Lin Fan said.

"I should be the one thanking you," Queen Ibai said. "Thank you for saving my Lil Riley."

Her words were extremely sincere.

Today, the doctor did a comprehensive check-up on Riley and found that she had completely recovered. 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝐨𝗺

Riley was Queen Ibai's favorite.

Now, she was finally safe and sound.

This was all thanks to Lin Fan.

Then, Queen Ibai picked up a wine glass and said, "Mr. Lin, let me toast you!"

At the same time, everyone in the palace raised their glasses and said in unison, "To Mr. Lin!"

The queen and all the nobles toasted together in the palace!

This courtesy was unparalleled!

367 Return; Something's Wrong with Ma Zhong!

At this banquet, everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content. They had a great time.

Time flew by like water.

Queen Ibai raised her glass again and said, "Finally, let us toast Mr. Lin once again and welcome him to the palace!"

All the nobles raised their glasses again and said in unison, "Welcome, Mr. Lin!"

The banquet ended here.

At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! You've completed the hidden mission—Royal Feast. You've received one golden packet.]

He ate and drank for free and even received a golden packet?

Not bad!

Lin Fan's lips curled up.

After Lin Fan and Chu Yunyue got into a Rolls-Royce that was part of the motorcade and returned to the Royal Hotel, it was already 10 PM.

As soon as she closed the door of the luxurious suite, Chu Yunyue threw herself into Lin Fan's arms.

If it was not for the fact that there were too many people at the banquet, Chu Yunyue would have thrown herself into Lin Fan's arms when he was dancing.

At this moment, she could no longer endure it.

o(ε*)

(*3)(ε*)

? (ˉ﹃ˉ?)

The next day.

After Lin Fan, Chu Yunyue, and the staff of Flower Stem had breakfast together, they were sent to the international airport by the chairman of the Royal Hotel, Jack Smith. They boarded the luxurious private plane prepared by Xia Airlines.

The employees of Flower Stem experienced the passionate service of the beautiful air stewardesses once again. With a bumpy flight, they finally arrived in Jiangbei, Hua Nation.

The perfume exhibition had just been held in Eagle Country. Chu Yunyue and the employees of Flower Stem needed to get over the jet lag and deal with related matters.

Therefore, they either returned to the company or went home to rest.

He sat on the soft sofa and brewed a cup of fragrant Spirit Tea. As he drank the tea, he played with his phone. He was extremely relaxed.

After a while, he turned his attention to the golden packet.

He muttered, "One golden packet. Let's see what I can get."

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received five million yuan.]

Lin Fan could not help but pout. "Why is there something useless in the golden packet?"

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.

After Lin Fan finished his breakfast, he drove the Culinan straight to Jiangbei University.

It had been a while since he went to school, and he missed it a little.

After spending a few days in the European-styled international metropolis, Lin Fan felt a different kind of relaxation when he returned to the youthful and energetic campus.

Not long after, he arrived at the classroom.

"Brother Lin Fan, which beauty have you been hanging out with recently?" Song Yi asked.

His eyes were filled with anticipation, as if he wanted to hear some explosive topics.

Lin Fan thought to himself, 'This guy's thinking is really unhealthy.'

However, on second thought, it seemed like he really did go out with a beauty.

Lin Fan rubbed his nose and said, "I went to Eagle Country…"

After a pause, he said, "It was a business trip."

"I understand, I understand!" Song Yi chuckled.

"You bastard." Lin Fan pursed his lips.

At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly noticed that Ma Zhong, who was always very active in class, did not seem to be in class.

"Where's Ma Zhong?" he asked.

At the mention of Ma Zhong, Song Yi immediately put away his smile and said, "I don't know either…Ma Zhong seems to have been late for a lot of classes these past few days.

"Also, he returns to the dormitory very late every day. Every time he comes back, he'll be sweating profusely. He'll be tired too."

When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but frown.

At this moment, the bell rang.

The old professor with white hair slowly walked in.

In the past, Lin Fan felt that his lectures were like a lullaby and would fall asleep very quickly.

Today, however, he lay on the table, tossing and turning. He was unable to fall asleep.

When the bell rang and the old professor left the classroom, a figure covered in sweat slowly appeared at the door.

It was Ma Zhong.

Lin Fan could not help but ask, "Ma Zhong, where did you go?"

"I've been feeling that my foundation isn't too solid recently." Ma Zhong forced a smile. "So, I took on a job as a tutor. While reviewing basic knowledge, I can also earn money."

Zheng Jinbao and Song Yi looked enlightened.

Lin Fan nodded his head noncommittally.

In the blink of an eye, the day's classes were over.

After Ma Zhong put away the book, he seemed to have something urgent to attend to and was eager to run out.

However, before he could walk far, Lin Fan stopped him and smiled. "Ma Zhong, are you going to tutor again?"

"Yes," Ma Zhong said.

"Where?" Lin Fan asked.

"Washington Palace… Brother Lin Fan, you should know that it's the best school district in Jiangbei. The parents there care about their children's studies a lot," Ma Zhong stammered.

Lin Fan said, "Really? That's great! I have a house there, and I need to go over to settle some matters. I'll drive you there."

Lin Fan's words were half true and half false.

He did have a house in Washington Palace.

Moreover, it was an entire building!

However, he did not have anything to settle.

That was because he had already entrusted all the properties to Lianjia Real Estate.

Why would he need to deal with anything?

Ma Zhong was a little hesitant. "Thank you, Brother Lin Fan."

Lin Fan said, "We're brothers. What's there to thank for such a small matter?"

As he spoke, he put his hand on Ma Zhong's shoulder and walked toward the parking lot.

The Cullinan had an air purification system that kept the interior of the car fresh and fragrant.

In addition to the top-notch sound insulation and the top-notch air suspension, sitting in it was like sitting on a soft grass patch. One would be extremely relaxed and comfortable.

At the same time, Ma Zhong, whose forehead was still dripping with sweat, gradually calmed down.

At this moment, Lin Fan said, "Ma Zhong, we're roommates and brothers… If you encounter any trouble, you must say it. Only then can we find out a way to deal with it.

"Unless you don't treat me as your brother."

"No, I've always treated you as my brother!" Ma Zhong hurriedly said.

He knew that Lin Fan had discovered something.

Ma Zhong gritted his teeth and finally said, "I'm not tutoring. I'm helping people wash dishes."

Regarding this…

Lin Fan's face did not reveal any hint of surprise.

One had to know…

He had the ability of a Perfume Expert, and he could tell a hundred things with one sniff.

Today, when Ma Zhong came to the classroom, he could easily smell the stench of sweat on his body and the smell of cooking oil.

Ma Zhong continued, "My father… is sick. He has terminal lung cancer."

After saying this, Ma Zhong seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his entire face was filled with pain.

368 Paying Back a Debt; It's Only Right!

Ma Zhong took another deep breath to calm his mind.

Then, he continued, "My dad has medical insurance, and I'll wash dishes to earn some money. It'll be enough to cover the medical expenses for the time being… Also, I'm looking for a job as a tutor. I'll get it soon.

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that my family can still hold on for now."

This was indeed Ma Zhong's plan.

He had never liked to trouble others.

As long as he could hold on, he would definitely do his best to hold on.

However, if he really could not hold on, he would ask Lin Fan for help.

Lin Fan stepped on the brakes and shouted, "Ma Zhong, you bastard!

"Do you think you're so noble? Do you think I'll care about this little trouble?

"If something like this had happened to my family, tell me, would you sit idly by?

"Do you know how much pain your father has endured because of your stubbornness and fear of troubling others?

"If his cancer suddenly becomes serious, you'll regret it then!"

When Ma Zhong heard Lin Fan's words, his entire face turned pale. A layer of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

That was right.

He was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but what about his father?

He could not help but think of his father coughing in pain and sleeping in the hospital corridor…

Ma Zhong slowly lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry…"

"Don't apologize to me! Show me the way!" Lin Fan said.

Lin Fan stepped on the accelerator, causing the car to shoot forward like a beast.

In an old village in the suburbs of Jiangbei City.

Ma Dajiang, who had sparse hair, was lying on the bed, coughing violently. There was blood in his cough, and he looked extremely miserable.

Liu Juan, who was busy in the kitchen, ran over quickly when she heard the sound and asked with concern, "Dajiang, are you alright?"

At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝘵

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, are you there?"

Then, there were shouts.

"Yes, we're at home!" Liu Juan replied.

She then saw a round-faced couple… Although she was sad because of Ma Dajiang's illness, she was still extremely enthusiastic.

"Dahe, Xiu Xiu, you're here. Sit down and have some tea."

Ma Dajiang, who was lying on the bed, opened his mouth when he saw the two of them. He was about to say something.

However, he could not help but cough violently again.

Wang Xiu seemed to be afraid of being infected and could not help but take a few steps back.

Then, she said, "I… Let's go outside."

"Alright," Liu Juan said without thinking too much."

When they arrived at the living room, Liu Juan used a disposable cup to pour them a cup of tea.

However, Wang Xiu pushed the cup away and said, "Our car broke down. It's too inconvenient. We want to change cars…

"Sister-in-law, can you return the 100,000 yuan I lent you two years ago?"

Ma Dajiang was a construction worker. A few years ago, his body suddenly became very unwell.

He had no choice but to stop work and rest for a while.

As a result, his income was naturally not steady.

In order to let his son go to school normally, he had no choice but to borrow 100,000 yuan from his brother, Ma Dahe's, family.

Liu Juan knew about this. It was only right to repay a debt.

However, the current situation…

Liu Juan lowered her head, her wrinkled face filled with pain.

Ma Dahe, who was sitting beside his wife, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

However, Wang Xiu, who was beside him, glared at him, scaring him so much that he chose to shut up.

"Sister-in-law, don't tell me you don't want to return it?" Wang Xiu said again.

Liu Juan said, "It's not that. However, you should know about Dajiang's current condition…"

Wang Xiu glanced at the room inside and said, "I know! However, doesn't he have terminal lung cancer?

"Sister-in-law, don't you know what late-stage lung cancer means? He only has a few months. Big Brother can only hold on for a few more months.

"Is there a need to waste money on chemotherapy? Moreover, chemotherapy is so painful. In my opinion, it's time for Big Brother to eat and drink whatever he wants."

In fact…

This was also the reason why Wang Xiu came to ask for money today.

However, she was not thinking about Ma Dajiang at all.

She was worried that Ma Dajiang would spend too much money on his treatment, so much so that he would not be able to pay her back in the future.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from afar.

Two figures, one tall and one short, quickly appeared in the hall.

It was Lin Fan and Ma Zhong.

"Shut up!" Ma Zhong shouted angrily.

This voice scared Wang Xiu so much that her heart throbbed.

However, the words were already spoken.

She calmed herself down very quickly and said, "What? A junior can now casually contradict an elder?

"I've always heard that those who owe money are more arrogant than those who borrow money. Today, I've finally seen it for myself!"

At this point, Wang Xiu could not help but look at Liu Juan from the corner of her eye.

The pain on Liu Juan's wrinkled face intensified.

If it were in the past, even if she had to sell everything, she would definitely return the money immediately.

Now, however?

Her husband was still lying on the hospital bed.

Could she really bear to wait for her husband's death…

Lin Fan, who had not said anything, said coldly, "Isn't it just 100,000 yuan? I'll give it to you now!"

Wang Xiu first sized Lin Fan up before saying, "Is that so? Then hurry up."

Now, the words had already been spoken.

She did not care so much.

As for who Lin Fan was?

She was not in the mood to ask. As long as she got her money, it was fine.

Lin Fan did not hesitate. He took out his phone and transferred 100,000 yuan.

"Now that you've been given the money, get lost!" Ma Zhong shouted.

Wang Xiu carefully counted the amount several times before revealing a satisfied expression.

She did not care about Ma Zhong's words and curled her lips. "I'm leaving!"

As she spoke, she strode out.

Ma Dahe lowered his head and followed closely behind.

After Wang Xiu and Ma Dahe left, the air in the room seemed to have become much fresher.

"Brother Lin Fan, thank you," Ma Zhong said sincerely.

"Mom, this is my roommate, Lin Fan."

"Lin Fan, don't worry," Liu Juan said hoarsely. "We'll definitely return the 100,000 yuan to you as soon as possible."

"Aunt, you don't have to be so polite," Lin Fan said casually. "Ma Zhong and I are not only roommates but also brothers."

At this moment, loud coughs came from the room.

Lin Fan quickly said, "Let's go see Uncle first."

369 Better; Missing!

Lin Fan looked at Ma Dajiang, who was lying on the old bed. His face was pale, his hair was sparse, and there was a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. He could not help but think of his father, Lin Tao, when he had to lie on the hospital bed. His heart ached slightly.

Then, he glared fiercely at Ma Zhong.

Obviously, he was blaming him for not telling him earlier.

Ma Zhong lowered his head in shame.

"Dajiang, this is Lil Zhong's classmate, Lin Fan."

"So, it's Lil Zhong's classmate. Quick… Hurry up and sit… Cough, cough, cough." Ma Dajiang was halfway through his sentence when he started coughing violently again. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Lin Fan said, "Uncle, rest well."

Then, he carefully observed Ma Dajiang.

Very quickly, Lin Fan came to the conclusion that it was indeed late-stage lung cancer.

Even though Lin Fan had Sun Simiao's Medical Experience, he could only nurse Ma Dajiang's body for a while at most. He could not completely cure him.

Hence, Lin Fan spent ten million yuan to buy a bottle of Medical Water from the system.

"Ma Zhong, go and let Uncle drink this," Lin Fan said.

"Alright." Ma Zhong did not even ask Lin Fan what it was and just replied.

He believed that Lin Fan would never harm his father.

Ma Dajiang would cough violently every now and then.

However, after drinking the Medical Water, he no longer coughed.

Gradually, his pale face became rosy.

Ma Dajiang, who had been unable to fall asleep due to lung cancer and the unbearable pain, fell into a deep sleep.

Not long after, he even snored loudly.

Seeing this…

Ma Zhong and Liu Juan were pleasantly surprised.

Lin Fan said softly, "Let's not disturb Uncle here. Let's go out first."

"Ah… Alright, alright," Ma Zhong said.

Lin Fan said, "What are you thanking me for? You're treating me like an outsider! In the future, if you need anything, just speak directly."

"Alright." Ma Zhong nodded vigorously.

Lin Fan did not stay in the living room for long. After chatting with Ma Zhong for a while, he drove the Cullinan toward the Coiling Dragon Villa.

That was because Lin Fan knew that Ma Dajiang had drunk Medical Water, so he no longer had to worry about his physical condition.

The next day.

After Lin Fan woke up, he looked at his phone. A message had appeared on the screen.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,434,900 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Then, he focused his attention on the sign-in system.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,000,000 yuan.]

Lin Fan shook his head slowly.

Obviously, he was not satisfied with the result of this sign-in.

After breakfast, Lin Fan went straight to Jiangbei University.

When he arrived at the classroom, it was already full.

Ma Zhong, Song Yi, and Zheng Jinbao were all seated within.

Ma Zhong was not as sweaty as yesterday, and he seemed much more relaxed.

When he saw Lin Fan, he could not hide the joy on his face. He shouted excitedly, "Brother Lin Fan!"

It was no wonder that Ma Zhong would be like this.

His father had been in poor health for the past few years.

A few days ago, he coughed up blood non-stop. After falling ill, he could not stand up again.

Later, he went to the hospital for a check-up and found out that he had late-stage lung cancer.

Yesterday, after Lin Fan went to Ma Zhong's house, he helped Ma Zhong's family return 100,000 yuan and gave Ma Dajiang some medicine.

That night, Ma Dajiang's condition was much better.

This morning, he miraculously woke up and could walk freely.

Lin Fan smiled and patted Ma Zhong's shoulder.

At this moment, the bell rang.

Teacher Tiantian walked in slowly.

Instantly, the entire classroom was enveloped in a sweet fragrance.

The chattering classroom immediately quieted down.

Teacher Tiantian was already used to similar situations happening every time she came to class.

She only glanced around the classroom. When she saw Lin Fan, her beautiful eyes immediately lit up.

After a while, she began her lesson.

Teacher Tiantian's lesson was like a symphony to the students. In the blink of an eye, it had already ended.

To Lin Fan, the entire day of lessons was like this.

Unknowingly, the setting sun slowly appeared.

Lin Fan went to the car park and sat down in the Cullinan.

He stepped on the accelerator and sped in the direction of Teacher Tiantian's house.

That was because he had received a WeChat message from Teacher Tiantian at noon today, asking Lin Fan to go to her house for dinner.

Lin Fan pressed the doorbell.

After a while, Teacher Tiantian opened the door.

Teacher Tiantian seemed to be still cooking. She was wearing a flowery apron.

She was gentle and quiet, with a voluptuous figure. Coupled with her apron, she looked like a wife waiting for her husband to return home, which made one feel extremely affectionate.

Lin Fan could not help but feel intoxicated.

"Why are you standing at the door?" Teacher Tiantian asked. "Come in quickly."

Only then did Lin Fan react and say, "Ah… Alright."

At this moment, the table was already filled with green pepper and shredded pork, spicy crab, stir-fried cabbage, boiled prawns, beef, steamed fish… The fragrance was rich, and the color was gorgeous. The food all looked very appetizing.

"I'll get the soup out of the pot and we can start eating!" Teacher Tiantian said.

Then, she walked toward the kitchen and brought out the chicken mushroom soup.

Lin Fan smiled. "The soup is here. We can start eating!"

As he spoke, he impatiently picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat, and put it into his mouth. He gave a thumbs up and praised, "It smells good, but it tastes even better!"

"You, your mouth is really too sweet…" Teacher Tiantian was happy.

When Lin Fan heard that, he leaned his head over.

o(ε*)

(*3)(ε*)

After a while, Lin Fan said, "Is it sweet? I think that your mouth is even sweeter."

Teacher Tiantian's pretty face blushed.

"Do you want some wine?"

"Alright!" Lin Fan said.

Hence, Teacher Tiantian poured two glasses of red wine.

Lin Fan raised his wine glass and sniffed it before gently swirling it.

Finally, he slowly poured it into his mouth.

"Romanée-Conti is indeed worthy of being called the King of Burgundy. It tastes mellow and soft. It's not inferior to Lafite at all."

[Skill: Drinking Gentleman!]

Teacher Tiantian looked at Lin Fan's actions as he drank and listened to his comments. She was a little dazed.

After a while, she said, "Lin Fan, let me help you peel the prawns."

One, two, three… Teacher Tiantian quickly peeled a large plate of prawns for Lin Fan.

During this time, she kept feeding Lin Fan beef, chicken mushroom stew, as well as green pepper and shredded meat.

Finally, Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "I'm full. Teacher Tiantian, you don't have to give me any more food."

When Teacher Tiantian heard this, she put down her chopsticks and whispered, "Alright."

Then, she threw herself into Lin Fan's embrace. She tried her best to merge into Lin Fan's body.

Absence made the heart grow fonder.

Teacher Tiantian had not seen Lin Fan for a few days, and her thoughts about him had reached the extreme.

370 Treat to Dinner; Hello, Mr. Lin!

Three days passed in a flash.

Coiling Dragon Villa.

Lin Fan leisurely poured some water for the Spirit Tea and came back. The phone in his pocket rang.

Lin Fan looked at the caller ID. Seeing that it was Ma Zhong calling, he immediately pressed the answer button.

"It's gone, Brother Lin Fan. My dad's lung cancer has completely disappeared!

"Brother Lin Fan, thank you!"

Lin Fan had just placed the phone by his ear when Ma Zhong's excited voice rang out.

Ever since Lin Fan came to his house that day, Ma Dajiang could sleep easily.

The next day, he could walk on his own.

On the third day, his complexion got better and better. He could even eat a big bowl of rice.

Hence, Liu Juan brought Ma Dajiang to the hospital for a check-up, and they suddenly realized that the lung cancer had disappeared!

The hospital was also very surprised by such news.

They gave Ma Dajiang a few more detailed examinations for free.

However, the results of each examination were the same.

Ma Dajiang was a very healthy person.

Helpless, the hospital could only make a solemn apology to Ma Dajiang, saying that there was a problem with the equipment.

Therefore, it resulted in a misdiagnosis. b𝚎dn𝚘v𝚎𝚕.𝚘𝚛𝚐

However, Ma Zhong knew that it was not a misdiagnosis.

If it was a misdiagnosis… why did his father cough up blood every day and fall ill?

If it was a misdiagnosis… why did his father keep losing his hair?

The real reason was that Lin Fan had used that bottle of medicine to cure his father.

However, he knew that it must be very precious.

Even so, Lin Fan did not hesitate at all and took it out to save his father.

He would forever remember this kindness in his heart!

Compared to Ma Zhong's excitement, Lin Fan was extremely calm.

It was because this was something he had expected.

"I told you, there's no need to be so polite between us," Lin Fan said.

"Alright, alright…" Ma Zhong said. "I'm just too happy."

"Brother Lin Fan, my parents would like to invite you to have a meal at Fenglai Hotel. Are you free?"

Lin Fan understood that they wanted to thank him for saving his life.

If he did not go, they would probably mind it for the rest of their lives.

"Alright! I'll go over now."

Coiling Dragon Villa was not too far from Fenglai Hotel.

In just 20 minutes, Lin Fan arrived at his destination.

Just as he arrived at the lobby, Ma Zhong, who was far away, kept waving his hands and said, "Brother Lin Fan, over here!"

Lin Fan replied, "Alright!"

After getting closer, Lin Fan's gaze landed on Ma Dajiang.

The current Ma Dajiang was like a completely different person compared to a few days ago.

Even though his face was full of traces of time, he seemed to be full of energy.

"Lin Fan, thank you," Ma Dajiang said.

Lin Fan said, "Uncle, Ma Zhong and I are brothers. You don't have to be so polite with such a small favor."

"Brother Lin Fan, we were too late. The private rooms have all been booked," Ma Zhong said apologetically.

Lin Fan waved his hand and said, "It's just a meal. It doesn't matter where we eat. It's more lively outside anyway."

While Lin Fan and the rest were chatting, a brand new BMW 320 arrived at the parking lot of Fenglai Hotel.

Wang Xiu and Ma Dahe walked down slowly.

Wang Xiu took out a piece of paper and wiped the dust off the BMW. She could not help but praise, "A BMW sure is a BMW. It's so comfortable to sit in!"

Ma Dahe looked at the BMW, and his eyes seemed to flicker.

Obviously, he liked this car very much.

Wang Xiu puffed out her chest and said, "I told you to buy a BMW, didn't I? In the past, we couldn't even get an appointment with Manager Zhang of Xiao Wu Wholesale City. Yesterday, we drove our BMW over and today, we got an appointment!"

"You have good taste, my wife."

"Of course!" Wang Xiu raised her head and said. "Having a nice car is important when doing business. Without a nice front, how will others be willing to talk to us?

"A few days ago, you were a little unwilling to let me ask your brother for money. Without money, how could we buy a BMW? Without a BMW, how could we have gotten to meet Manager Zhang? If we didn't get to invite Manager Zhang, how could we get a good contract from Xiao Wu Wholesale City?"

The more Wang Xiu spoke, the more arrogant he became.

Ma Dahe kept nodding his head, praising his wife's good taste and wisdom.

The two of them chatted as they walked.

When they arrived at the hotel lobby, they saw the dazzling lights, the thick solid wood decorations, and the faint fragrance in the air…They seemed to have become a member of the upper class.

In the next moment…

Ma Dahe's body froze slightly.

He was shocked to find his eldest brother, sister-in-law, and nephew in the hotel lobby.

"What's going on?" he asked in surprise.

Did Ma Dajiang not have late-stage lung cancer?

Should he not be lying on the hospital bed and waiting for treatment?

Why did he come to the hotel?

"What do you mean?" Wang Xiu asked.

As she spoke, she followed Ma Dahe's gaze.

Immediately after, Wang Xiu was stunned.

However, she quickly reacted and said, "It seems that your eldest brother and sister-in-law have taken my words to heart."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiu strode forward.

Then, she said at the top of her voice, "I told you. Anyway, Big Brother has late-stage lung cancer. He can't be cured!

"It's better to eat and drink well than to throw money into the hospital for nothing!"

"We've already returned the money to you. My family has nothing to do with you anymore!" Ma Zhong shouted. "If you say such things again, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Ha! You said it yourself! In the future, don't even think about borrowing a single cent from our family!" Wang Xiu shouted.

In fact…

This was the reason why she came over and reminded Ma Dajiang not to throw money at the hospital for nothing.

Wang Xiu was going to have an appointment with Manager Zhang of Xiao Wu Wholesale City.

She would be able to get a good contract very soon.

It would not be long before she could earn a lot of money and become a rich woman.

At that time, some poor relatives would probably be thick-skinned enough to borrow money from her.

In Wang Xiu's view, Ma Zhong's family was clearly among them.

She wanted to nip the problem in the bud.

At this moment, the sound of heavy footsteps could be heard from behind.

Wang Xiu heard the sound and casually looked behind her.

In the next moment…

Her entire face was immediately filled with smiles. She bent down and said, "Manager Zhang, you're here!

"We were going to welcome you at the door, but we were stopped by a few acquaintances."

Manager Zhang nodded and glanced at the people Wang Xiu was pointing at.

It was not a big deal.

However, with this glance…

He froze.

His heart was beating wildly.

That was because he saw Lin Fan!

Hence, Manager Zhang hurriedly ran forward and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

371 Receiving the Award! (1)

Manager Zhang's name was Zhang Wenbo.

A few months ago, he was just an ordinary salesman in Xiao Wu Wholesale City. He was constantly hesitating whether to leave or not.

One day, a business manager named Xiong Jianping accidentally saw a client contract.

Hence, Xiong Jianping took the initiative to ask for the contract.

After that… Zhang Wenbo got to know that the client and Xiong Jianping had a grudge against each other.

Therefore, when the customer arrived at Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Xiong Jianping deliberately made things difficult for the other party.

It was because of this that Xiong Jianping and the leaders who supported him were severely punished.

The reason why such a thing happened was because there was a young man standing beside the customer… It was Lin Fan!

Zhang Wenbo clearly remembered how respectful the chairman, director, general manager, and other company executives were to Lin Fan.

The company dealt with the relevant personnel in a thunderous manner after the incident.

It was also because of this that there were many vacancies in Xiao Wu Wholesale City, which gave Zhang Wenbo the opportunity to become a business manager.

If Xiao Wu Wholesale City were just an ordinary wholesale company like before, it would not be anything to shout about. A business manager was nothing.

However, Xiao Wu Wholesale City later established a deep partnership with Flower Stem.

The income and power of all the employees had also increased substantially.

One had to know…

Nowadays, the perfume and beauty essence of Flower Stem were the hottest in Hua Nation, especially in Jiang Province.

By chance, Zhang Wenbo learned that the reason why Xiao Wu Wholesale City was able to establish a close connection with Flower Stem was all because of Lin Fan.

Because of this, Lin Fan became even more majestic in Zhang Wenbo's heart.

That was why he was so respectful when he saw Lin Fan.

All the previous times Lin Fan went to Xiao Wu Wholesale Market, Zhang Wenbo had only looked at him from afar.

Lin Fan did not even see Zhang Wenbo.

Therefore, even though Lin Fan had a photographic memory, he did not know Zhang Wenbo at all.

"And you are?" he asked.

"I'm Zhang Wenbo, the business manager of Xiao Wu Wholesale Market," Zhang Wenbo quickly introduced himself.

When Lin Fan heard this, he had a look of realization.

Wang Xiu, who was standing at the side, could not help but ask, "M-Manager Zhang, do you know each other?"

When he said this, Wang Xiu had a bad premonition.

The business manager of Xiao Wu Wholesale City did have some power in the past.

However, Zhang Wenbo was on another level now.

The reason for this was that Xiao Wu Wholesale City had established a close partnership with Flower Stem and had a large number of Flower Stem's perfumes and essence.

There was no need to worry about sales.

It could be said that as long as one could get their hands on Flower Stem's perfumes and essence, it would mean a huge profit.

In such a situation, how could the business manager not be fought over?

It was also for this reason that when Wang Xiu asked Zhang Wenbo out for dinner, she was so sure that she would earn money.

In the past, when Zhang Wenbo faced Wang Xiu, he always put on airs.

After all, that was because she wanted to get a good contract from him.

At this moment, Zhang Wenbo bowed slightly and said, "Madam Wang, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you knew Mr. Lin. I've offended you…"

Lin Fan said, "No need to apologize. I don't know this Madam Wang. I'm good friends with her nephew, Ma Zhong.

"A few days ago, Ma Zhong's father was misdiagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. Mrs. Wang was afraid that Ma Zhong's family would find it difficult to repay her the 100,000 yuan they owed.

"So, she went straight to Ma Zhong's father's house and asked him not to waste money on treatment and to repay her 100,000 yuan.

"I helped them repay the money.

"At the same time, my good friend, Ma Zhong, has also completely severed all ties with her."

Lin Fan's tone was very calm.

However, Zhang Wenbo could easily tell how much Lin Fan hated Wang Xiu.

Zhang Wenbo glanced at Wang Xiu coldly and said with a muffled snort, "I've never seen such a cold-blooded woman! These days, she's been showing off her strength in hopes of establishing a cooperative relationship with our Xiao Wu Wholesale City.

"I didn't expect that her strength actually came from this!

"I was almost fooled by her.

"Our Xiao Wu Wholesale City will never establish a cooperative relationship with such a person!"

Wang Xiuyan's face paled.

In order to cooperate with Xiao Wu Wholesale City, she rented a shop and prepared a lot of things.

If they could not cooperate, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

"Manager Zhang, didn't we already come to an agreement? You can't break your promise!" Wang Xiu shouted.

If Lin Fan mistakenly thought that he had a good relationship with Wang Xiu, then…

"An agreement?" Zhang Wenbo shouted sternly. "That was because you were too good at lying!"

After saying that, he could not help but glance at Lin Fan.

At this moment, Wang Xiu also reacted. Everything was because of Mr. Lin.

Hence, she quickly bent down and begged, "Lil Zhong, can you help me beg Mr. Lin? I'm your aunt."

Ma Zhong, who had always looked like a good person, said coldly, "Aunt? What aunt? Our family has nothing to do with you anymore!"

Wang Xiu looked at Ma Zhong's cold expression. She understood that it was useless for her to beg him again.

372 Receiving the Award (2)

Wang Xiu and Ma Dajiang lowered their heads and did not respond.

Wang Xiu could not help but feel a little anxious and said, "In order to get the contract with Xiao Wu Wholesale City, Dahe and I not only invested all our money into it, but we also borrowed a sum of money from the bank.

"We're betting everything on it!

"If we can't get the contract with Xiao Wu Wholesale City, we might have to beg on the streets.

"Even if you won't pity me, won't you pity Dahe?"

Then, Wang Xiu pointed at Ma Dahe, turned around, and shouted at Ma Dajiang, "Big Brother, Dahe is your younger brother!"

It had to be said that Wang Xiu was very eloquent.

These words caused Ma Dajiang's wrinkled face to be filled with pity.

He raised his head and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

However, Ma Zhong beat him to it and shouted, "Dad! If the person who fell sick this time wasn't you but Mom or I and I didn't know Brother Lin Fan, do you know what the outcome would be?"

Ma Dajiang's heart trembled slightly.

If he was not the one who fell ill…

He would have had to sell everything and return the money to Wang Xiu.

In that case, what was waiting for Ma Zhong and Liu Juan… was death!

The thought of them dying…

Ma Dajiang immediately became determined and said in a muffled voice, "Wang Xiu, our family has nothing to do with you anymore! You don't have to beg me anymore!"

Wang Xiu's eyes widened. She could not believe her ears.

He rejected her.

The good old man Ma Dajiang actually rejected her?

How was this possible?

Wang Xiu opened her mouth and was about to say something.

At this moment, Ma Dahe, who had been silent all this while, shouted, "There's no need to say anymore!"

Wang Xiu was stunned again.

How was this possible?

"Ma Dahe, you…" Wang Xiu said.

"Stop!" Ma Dahe roared again. "I said, stop talking!"

His gaze was twisted, and Wang Xiu was so scared that she did not dare to speak anymore.

Ma Dahe turned to Ma Dajiang, Liu Juan, and Ma Zhong. He said, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, Lil Zhong, I'm sorry."

After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to them.

Then, he turned around and left.

Wang Xiu was stunned again.

Ma Dahe left!

He actually left without saying anything to her!

Wang Xiu looked at Ma Dahe with a complicated expression and slowly followed him.

After Ma Dahe and Wang Xiu left, the originally noisy lobby of Fenglai Hotel became much quieter.

Zhang Wenbo did not dare to eat with Lin Fan. He found an excuse and left early.

Not long after, the dishes that Ma Zhong had ordered were served.

Lin Fan and Ma Zhong's family had a great meal.

Time flowed like water.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed.

Today, Lin Fan strolled into the classroom as usual.

He listened to his classmates talking about games, beautiful women, sports, and other topics. He laughed from time to time. He was extremely relaxed and satisfied.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside.

Counselor Sun Yaodong walked in quickly.

He first scanned the classroom. When he saw Lin Fan, his face was immediately filled with smiles.

"Lin Fan, it's great that you're in the classroom!"

Then, he cleared his throat and said, "Lin Fan, I have good news for you! You've been nominated for the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize!"

When Chen Yaodong said this, his voice could not help but become high-pitched.

It was as if he was the one who was nominated.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the students in the classroom revealed unconcealable envy on their faces.

Even though they knew that Lin Fan had solved Zhou's Conjecture, Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail Conjecture, Hodge Conjecture, and other difficult problems and had already guessed that Lin Fan would win this award, there was still a difference between guessing and being sure.

"The Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize will be held at Huaqing University the day after tomorrow. Our school has booked a flight for you to Jingbei tomorrow morning."

"Lin Fan, remember to pack your luggage when you get home later."

For most people, winning a prize was a matter of honor, money, fame, and status…

However, none of these were attractive to Lin Fan.

Honor?

He did not need it.

Reward?

The Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize was only worth 500,000 USD.

Lin Fan did not care about this bit of money at all.

Famous?

If Lin Fan wanted to be famous, he could have been famous all over the world by now.

As for status?

He did not need it at all.

Hence, Lin Fan started to think about whether he should go to Jingbei to participate in the selection and receive the medal.

At this moment, a clear notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Mission: Win five international awards.] Reward: Five golden packets.]

When Lin Fan heard this, his eyes twitched.

After a while, he replied, "Alright."

Chen Yaodong raised his voice again and said, "Let us give a warm round of applause to Lin Fan for winning the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award!"

Immediately, the entire classroom was filled with enthusiastic applause.

Song Jiaxin, who was sitting at the front, clapped her hands. At the same time, her gaze toward Lin Fan lit up.

The next day.

After Lin Fan finished his breakfast, he drove the Culinan straight to the airport.

As the major shareholder of Xia Airlines, Lin Fan could transfer a private jet over at any time.

However, the school had already bought Lin Fan a plane ticket.

In addition, Dean Hu Chuan and Professor Song Guotao were also flying to Jingbei.

In order to avoid trouble, Lin Fan did not make any further arrangements.

Obviously, Jiangbei University attached great importance to this Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize. The ticket was first class, and the hotel was the five-star Boya International Hotel near Huaqing University.

On the plane, Hu Chuan and Song Guotao wanted to kill time and get closer to Lin Fan.

From time to time, they would find a topic to chat about.

However, the age difference between them was too big, so the topics were all very boring.

After arriving at the hotel, Lin Fan saw that Hu Chuan and Song Guotao seemed to want to chat with him again.

Therefore, he found an excuse and said that he had never been to Jingbei before. He wanted to walk around and take a look before leaving the hotel.

Lin Fan was not making this up.

He had only been to the capital once.

That time, it was to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng.

After buying a hundred-year-old ginseng and saving the life of the old man of the Zhou family, he left the capital.

Indeed, he had never visited the capital properly.

Walking on the wide street, he could see layers of tall buildings, narrow alleys, and low courtyards in the distance.

All of this made the capital have a fashionable and modern atmosphere, and it was also filled with a sense of history…

When Lin Fan turned a corner, a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure in a business suit appeared in front of him.

When Lin Fan saw the beauty, the beauty also saw him.

The two of them looked at each other.

At this moment, it was as if the air had completely solidified.

This was because this beauty was the one Lin Fan had met at the event at Tingfeng Villa when he came to Jingbei to buy a hundred-year-old ginseng.

Lin Fan still remembered that this beauty was wearing a white skirt that day. Her looks and temperament were all excellent.

However, when he woke up the next day, the beautiful woman and the bedsheet were all gone. Instead, there was a stack of red banknotes on the table.

It was because of that incident that Lin Fan was helpless for a while.

He did not expect to meet the other party today.

Lin Fan was shocked, and the beauty was even more shocked.

At that time, she was under a lot of pressure from work and happened to hear from her friend that there was a very relaxing cocktail party.

The beauty walked in with the thought of relieving her stress.

That day, she only had the thought of relaxing. As for anything else, she had never thought about it at all.

However, when Lin Fan walked to the piano and started to play the piano, she was completely infatuated and could not help but throw herself into Lin Fan's arms. She even wanted to merge into his body.

373 Attending a Dinner Party; Meeting an Acquaintance! (1)

The beauty's name was Xu Jingrou.

Even though she had lost her most precious possession that night, she did not regret it.

After that, she quietly took away the bedsheet that had been stained red.

Before leaving, Xu Jingrou looked at Lin Fan's young appearance and placed a stack of cash on the table.

Xu Jingrou had thought that this was the end of the matter.

She thought that she would never see him again in this lifetime.

Unexpectedly… they actually met again today.

Xu Jingrou looked at Lin Fan, the image of him playing the piano and some sports appearing in her mind.

Her entire face was flushed red.

Lin Fan said, "Beauty, we meet again. I was too anxious last time and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Lin Fan.

"What's your name, pretty lady?"

Too anxious?

Xu Jingrou could not help but think about the time she went to the room with Lin Fan.

Her entire pretty face turned even redder.

"My name is Xu Jingrou."

"Quiet and gentle. This name suits you very well," Lin Fan said.

Xu Jingrou was about to say something when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.

"Jingrou, why did you walk so fast? CEO Wang asked me to tell you that he has arranged a dinner party at the Qingting Hotel. He has invited CEO Liu from Shengjia and CEO Zhao from Huankun… There's also CEO Feng from Hengxin Company!"

"We must greet them well later. This is a rare opportunity!"

A middle-aged woman in her 30s said with a smile.

Xu Jingrou did not smile at all.

When he heard about CEO Feng from Hengxin Company, she looked even more disgusted.

At this point, her turbid eyes flickered with a faint light.

The middle-aged woman seemed to notice a young man standing in front of Xu Jingrou. She could not help but ask, "And this is?"

Lin Fan's observation and analysis skills were superb.

He could easily tell that Xu Jingrou disliked CEO Feng.

At the same time, he could tell that the middle-aged woman was deliberately playing the role of matchmaker, wanting to matchmake Xu Jingrou and CEo Feng.

Even though Lin Fan and Xu Jingrou had only met once, the two of them had slept together, after all.

Since that was the case, Xu Jingrou was his woman.

Lin Fan grabbed Xu Jingrou's slender waist and said, "I'm Jingrou's boyfriend, Lin Fan."

Xu Jingrou instinctively wanted to break free from the embrace.

However, it was as if her entire body had been immobilized and she could not move at all.

Feeling the warmth from Lin Fan's body, her face turned red once again.

When the middle-aged woman heard Lin Fan's reply and saw his actions, she was stunned.

After a while, she said, "Ah… Is that so? But I don't think I've heard Jingrou mention you before."

On the surface, this was a question.

In fact, she was trying to sow discord.

It had to be said that this middle-aged woman was really vicious.

Lin Fan was not too bothered and said calmly, "It's all my fault. I haven't come to the capital to see Jingrou and made her angry."

Lin Fan's reply made the middle-aged woman feel like her attack was useless.

She sized Lin Fan up and asked, "Aren't you working in Jingbei?"

"I'm studying at Jiangbei University." Lin Fan shook his head.

"Are you still a student?" The middle-aged woman was surprised.

In contrast to the middle-aged woman's shock, Xu Jingrou looked as if she had expected it.

That was because after she had sex with Lin Fan, she felt that he was a student.

That was why she chose to leave some money behind.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "Yes, what's the problem?"

"No… No, it's nothing," the middle-aged woman said.

Lin Fan said, "Oh right, you said that you wanted Jingrou to attend the dinner. Her boyfriend should be able to go with her, right?"

The middle-aged woman hesitated, "This… This is our company's dinner party. I'm afraid it won't be good for you to follow…"

Lin Fan said, "Really? If I'm not mistaken, it should be time to get off work, right? I don't think the company can force employees to accompany customers for dinner. Besides, I've already made an appointment with Jingrou."

Xu Jingrou understood that Lin Fan was helping her.

She followed the lead and said, "It's been a long time since I had dinner with Lin Fan.

"Since he can't go to the Qingting Hotel with me, then I can't attend this dinner party. Sister Qin, please relay the message to CEO Wang and the others."

As Xu Jingrou spoke, she was about to leave with Lin Fan.

"Why are you leaving?" Sister Qin hurriedly asked. "I… I didn't say he couldn't go! It's just that it's a little inappropriate.

"Since Lin Fan wants to go, then there's no problem."

One had to know…

She had promised CEO Wang and CEO Feng that she would definitely get Xu Jingrou to come over.

If Xu Jingrou left with Lin Fan, would that not mean that she was not capable?

As for Lin Fan, he could follow them.

Anyway, as long as Xu Jingrou was there, it was fine.

Xu Jingrou raised her head and looked at Lin Fan as if she was asking for his opinion.

374 Attending a Dinner Party; Meeting an Acquaintance! (2)

The Qingting Hotel was a rather famous hotel in the capital.

The decorations here were high-end, and the dishes were delicious. They were popular among many people.

At this moment, men with big beer bellies walked into Room 6 one after another.

"CEO Liu, CEO Zhao, welcome, welcome!" The bald Wang Zhi laughed heartily.

Then, he shouted excitedly, "Oh! CEO Feng, welcome, a warm welcome!"

"CEO Wang, you're too polite." Feng Jiaqi waved his hand.

"How is that polite?" Wang Zhi said. "I'm happy and excited!"

"CEO Feng, please take a seat!"

"Since CEO Wang is inviting me, I won't stand on ceremony."

Then, Wang Zhi arranged for CEO Liu and CEO Zhao to sit down.

The few of them sat and talked, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

At this moment, Feng Jiaqi looked at the door and asked, "Is everyone here?"

How could Wang Zhi not understand what CEO Feng meant?

Was he asking if Xu Jingrou was arriving soon?

He smiled. "Soon. They're already on the way. Let's get the waiter to serve the dishes first."

Feng Jiaqi nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Wang Zhi pressed the service button on the table.

After a while, a tall and thin male waiter walked in and asked respectfully, "What can I do for you?"

"The dishes can be served now," said Wang Zhi.

"Alright, please wait a moment," the waiter said.

As soon as the waiter left, footsteps sounded in the corridor again.

Then, Sister Qin, Xu Jingrou, and Lin Fan walked into the private room.

Wang Zhi saw his reaction and said, "You're finally here! We've been waiting for a while!"

"Li Qin, sit next to CEO Zhao. Your task today is to serve CEO Zhao well!"

"Xu Jingrou, sit next to CEO Feng. Your task today is to take good care of CEO Feng!"

At this point, Wang Zhi turned to the bald man beside him and said, "My mission is to take good care of you, CEO Liu!"

"Haha!" CEO Liu laughed. "Then you have to drink a few more glasses with me later!"

The atmosphere in the private room was quite lively.

However…

Lin Fan looked at Wang Zhi and said, "I'm afraid that Jingrou can't take care of CEO Feng. She has to accompany me for dinner."

Wang Zhi frowned slightly.

It was only then that he seemed to notice that there was an unfamiliar young man in the private room.

"And you are?" he asked.

"I'm Lin Fan, Jingrou's boyfriend," Lin Fan said casually.

As soon as he said this…

The originally lively private room immediately fell silent.

Feng Jiaqi looked down and saw Xu Jingrou holding Lin Fan's hand.

His expression immediately turned ugly.

Wang Zhi did not expect such a thing to happen. When he saw the change in Feng Jiaqi's expression, his heart tightened.

"Xu Jingrou, when did you get a boyfriend? Didn't you say you were single a while ago?"

It had to be said that Wang Zhi was indeed capable to become the CEO of a company.

He had told Feng Jiaqi that Xu Jingrou was single.

This sentence…

Firstly, it was to point out the authenticity of his information.

Secondly, he could help Feng Jiaqi investigate the authenticity of this so-called boyfriend.

Thirdly, it was to create a barrier between Lin Fan and Xu Jingrou.

Xu Jingrou stuttered, "M-Maybe you remembered wrongly, CEO Wang."

She was also a veteran in the workplace.

If it were a normal question, Xu Jingrou would not have stuttered like this.

However, now that the word 'boyfriend' was brought up, the situation felt completely different.

Xu Jingrou felt the warmth from Lin Fan's fingers and the masculine aura from him. She could not control herself anymore.

Everyone looked at Xu Jingrou's nervous expression.

They all had guesses in their hearts.

Feng Jiaqi's expression changed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

At this moment, the waiters brought in exquisite and gorgeous delicacies one after another.

As the delicacies were brought in, an alluring fragrance filled the room, stimulating one's appetite.

CEO Wang personally poured a glass of wine for everyone and said cheerfully, "Today, I'm very happy to be able to invite so many CEOs to have a meal together."

"Thank you, CEO Feng, CEO Liu, and CEO Zhao for coming. I'll give a toast!"

After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the private room improved a little.

The people in the private room were either chatting or toasting each other…

Sister Qin was chatting and laughing, and she would give a toast from time to time.

Xu Jingrou sat quietly at the side and ate her food.

Lin Fan felt that she was being ignored. He picked up his wine glass and said, "Jingrou, shall we have a drink?"

Drink?

Xu Jingrou could not help but think of the night when she drank a little too.

Thus, the scene from that night flooded her mind again.

Even though she had not drunk yet, her pretty face was already flushed red.

After a while, Xu Jingrou noticed that Lin Fan was still holding his wine glass.

"My alcohol tolerance isn't good, so I'll just take a small sip."

"Alright," said Lin Fan.

The two of them clinked their wine glasses lightly, making a crisp sound. Lin Fan drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Jingrou did as she said and only took a small sip.

Feng Jiaqi, who was sitting in the main seat, narrowed his eyes when he saw this.

However, before he could say anything, CEO Zhao raised his glass at him and said, "CEO Feng, let me propose a toast to you. I wish Hengxin company a better future!"

"Alright, cheers!" Feng Jiaqi said.

After a while, CEO Liu also raised his glass and said, "CEO Feng, let me toast to you too. I wish Hengxin Company a smooth journey on the road to an IPO!"

"Thank you for your kind words, CEO Liu." Feng Jiaqi smiled.

Then, he said, "However, don't keep drinking with me. You can't neglect the two beauties!"

As he spoke, Feng Jiaqi picked up his wine glass and said to Xu Jingrou, "Ms. Xu, let's have a drink. How about it?"

Xu Jingrou hesitated.

Just as she had said earlier, her alcohol tolerance was indeed not good.

Lin Fan said, "I'm sorry. Jingrou's alcohol tolerance isn't good. If you want to drink, I can drink with you on her behalf."

Feng Jiaqi's face darkened slightly, but he smiled and said, "Is that so? Your boyfriend knows how to protect you. Not bad!"

In the private room, they started chatting, drinking, and eating again.

Earlier, Lin Fan had been strolling around the capital but he had not gone to the bathroom.

Now, after drinking some wine and some soup, he finally felt the urge.

Even though Lin Fan's physique was not something ordinary people could compare to, he could not avoid the three emergencies of ordinary people.

Lin Fan informed Xu Jingrou and walked toward the bathroom.

When he walked out of the bathroom, he met a young man of medium build who looked somewhat imposing.

Originally, the young man had been walking with his head raised, looking high and mighty.

However, when he saw Lin Fan, his body froze and he lowered his head.

Then, in an extremely respectful tone, he said, "M-Mr. Lin."

Lin Fan sized up the man and asked, "Are you from the Zhou family?"

The young man did not expect Lin Fan to remember him. He nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, yes. My name is Qiu Kai, the son of the brother-in-law of Zhou Shihong, the second master of the Zhou family."

Back then, when Old Master Zhou was critically ill, Qiu Kai was not qualified to visit him immediately.

However, after Old Master Zhou passed the critical period, Qiu Kai and his father went to the Zhou family.

It was also during that visit to the Zhou family that Qiu Kai saw the young man who cured the old man of the Zhou family from afar… Lin Fan.

During the family meeting, Old Master Zhou publicly stated that no matter who it was, when they saw Lin Fan, they had to treat him with the same respect!

Later on, when Lin Fan's grandfather celebrated his birthday, Old Master Zhou even went to Jiang Province's Qing City!

All of this showed how important Lin Fan was to Old Master Zhou and how high his position in the Zhou family was.

375 Slap Yourself; This Isn't Over! (1)

Qiu Kai also heard that Lin Fan had saved the life of Qin Weiming's grandson.

When Lin Fan's grandfather celebrated his birthday, Qin Weiming brought a bunch of leaders to celebrate. be𝚍𝚗ove𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

One of them was on good terms with the Zhou family and the Qin family!

Therefore, even though Qiu Kai had only seen Lin Fan once from afar a few months ago, he had engraved Lin Fan's appearance in his heart.

That was because he had always fantasized about meeting Lin Fan one day and chatting with him or building a relationship with him… It would definitely be a great event.

Unexpectedly, it had turned into reality.

Lin Fan's state of mind was still extremely calm.

"How is Old Master Zhou?" he asked with a nod.

Lin Fan had a good impression of Zhou Guotao.

He treated others with courtesy.

He even helped him a little.

In the end, he even traveled thousands of miles to attend his grandfather's birthday banquet.

"Thanks to you, the old man's health has been very good ever since you saved him," Qiu Kai hurriedly said.

"In fact, he even eats more than before… He also often told us that you're the Zhou family's great benefactor. When we see you, we have to respect you as if we're looking at him…"

Lin Fan could tell that Qiu Kai was not joking. He nodded his head in approval.

Old Master Zhou was really not bad.

"Old Master Zhou is too polite. I'll go to the Zhou family to see him in two days."

"If the old master knows, he'll definitely be very happy," Qiu Kai said excitedly.

Lin Fan asked again, "Are you eating here today?"

"It's a gathering with friends today," Qiu Kai said.

"Okay, then you go ahead. I'm going back to continue eating," Lin Fan said.

Lin Fan nodded his head and walked straight to Room 6.

Qiu Kai did not bring up the matter of toasting.

In his opinion, he did not have such qualifications at all.

However, Qiu Kai continued to watch Lin Fan leave. He only looked away when Lin Fan pushed open the door of Room 6.

At this moment, in Room 6.

"Ms. Xu, let me propose a toast to you." Feng Jiaqi raised his glass.

"Sorry, I don't know how to drink."

He rejected her again!

Feng Jiaqi frowned.

Could not drink?

Lin Fan drank with her and she drank.

This matter seemed to have aroused Feng Jiaqi's competitive spirit.

He walked down from the table and placed one hand on the chair. He said to Xu Jingrou, "Ms. Xu, don't be so rude. It's just a drink."

Xu Jingrou could feel Feng Jiaqi approaching her and the pungent smell of alcohol. She pushed him aside and said, "CEO Feng, what are you doing?"

Feng Jiaqi had already drunk a little too much, and his body was a little unsteady. Xu Jingrou pushed him lightly and he accidentally spilled the wine on his body. He almost fell to the ground.

"CEO Feng, are you alright?"

"CEO Feng!"

Everyone in the private room shouted in concern.

"Damn it!"

Feng Jiaqi was completely enraged. After shouting, he raised his hand and wanted to slap Xu Jingrou's face.

At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open.

When Lin Fan saw this…

His eyes narrowed!

Now, his reaction and speed could be said to be at the superhuman level.

In an instant, he appeared beside Xu Jingrou and blocked Feng Jiaqi's palm.

Feng Jiaqi's wrist was grabbed by Lin Fan. It was as if he was being held by a steel clamp. He could not move at all.

Lin Fan said coldly, "What are you doing?"

Feng Jiaqi was not scared seeing as his company was about to go public. He shouted, "What am I doing? Why should I tell you? Hurry up and let go!"

Lin Fan said, "Let go? Apologize to Jingrou immediately and slap yourself ten times!"

Tyrannical!

Even if Feng Jiaqi did not manage to hit Xu Jingrou, Lin Fan still wanted him to slap himself ten times!

This was Lin Fan!

As long as the other party wanted to harm his woman, he must be punished!

Feng Jiaqi laughed and said, "Slap myself ten times? Who do you think you are? If you have the ability, come and fight yourself! Hurry up and let go of me!"

After saying that, he struggled with his wrist, but it still did not move.

"Oh? Do you want me to hit you? Then I'll fulfill your wish!" Lin Fan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan raised his hand and slapped Feng Jiaqi.

F*ck!

It was accurate!

Ruthless!

The sound of a slap reverberated in the private room.

At the same time, a bright palm print appeared on the left side of Feng Jiaqi's face.

Moreover, the palm print was still deepening and swelling!

The people in the room did not expect Lin Fan to really know how to fight. They were all dumbfounded.

Feng Jiaqi was completely stunned by the beating, and his head was buzzing.

However, Lin Fan did not care about it at all. He raised his hand and slapped again.

Another whip-like sound echoed throughout the private room.

Then, a palm print appeared on the other half of Feng Jiaqi's face.

Then, there was a series of whipping sounds.

Soon, the ten slaps ended.

Feng Jiaqi's already fat face was swollen like a pig's head.

Wang Zhi and the others in the private room were completely stunned by this scene.

However, Xu Jingrou did not show any fear because of Lin Fan.

On the contrary, her beautiful eyes sparkled.

376 Slap Yourself; This Isn't Over! (2)

At this moment, Xu Jingrou could not help but think back to the scene of Lin Fan playing the piano and the scene of him beating people up.

Quiet as a scholar, moving like a demon god!

No matter which it was, it was fascinating all the same!

Now, both sides had appeared on the same person!

At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

[You've triggered Charming Aura, an unforgettable memory!]

Lin Fan couldn't help but look at Xu Jingrou.

[Appearance: 95]

[Favorability: 95]

"Ouch!"

At this moment, Feng Jiaqi, who had been slapped ten times by Lin Fan, started to scream.

His voice was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Everyone in the room finally reacted.

"CEO Feng, are you alright?" Wang Zhi asked.

"Alright?" Feng Jiaqi shouted. "Can't you see that I've been beaten up like this? Hurry up and call security!"

"Alright, alright…" Wang Zhi hurriedly said.

Then, he quickly pressed the service button under the table and said, "There's a fight here. Get the security guards here!"

Feng Jiaqi shouted at the top of his voice, "I'm Feng Jiaqi, the CEO of Hengxin Company. I know your manager, Zhao Feng. Tell him that I was beaten up!"

Soon, a respectful voice came from the speaker under the table. "Mr. Feng, please wait a moment. We'll be right there."

After saying that, the call ended.

After Feng Jiaqi received the waiter's affirmation, he became extremely arrogant and said fiercely, "I've never been beaten like this before. You have guts! I hope you'll have the same guts later!"

Lin Fan glanced at Feng Jiaqi and said, "Looks like you haven't been beaten up enough!"

He turned around and slapped Feng Jiaqi again.

Everyone did not expect that Lin Fan would dare to hit someone. They were all shocked.

Feng Jiaqi did not dare to say anything else.

Xu Jingrou, who had been in a state of infatuation, finally reacted.

"What should we do now?" she asked in a panic. "Lin Fan, why don't you leave?"

Xu Jingrou knew that Lin Fan was a student.

Feng Jiaqi's Hengxin Company was going to be listed soon. He was definitely a rich and powerful big shot.

Now that Lin Fan had beaten Feng Jiaqi, he would definitely suffer.

"Now you know how to be afraid?" Feng Jiaqi endured the pain and said. "Well, it's too late!"

Lin Fan's cold gaze made Feng Jiaqi shiver and shut his mouth immediately.

Then, Lin Fan stroked Xu Jingrou and said, "Don't worry."

At this moment, the door to Room 6 was suddenly pushed open.

Then, a large group of security guards and a middle-aged man in a white shirt strode in.

When Feng Jiaqi saw who it was, he shouted excitedly, "Manager Zhao, you're finally here!"

Zhao Feng sized up Feng Jiaqi and could not help but ask in puzzlement, "And you are?"

Earlier, Feng Jiaqi did not lie. He did know Zhao Feng.

However, at this moment, Feng Jiaqi's entire face had been beaten into a pig's head.

How could Zhao Feng recognize him?

"Manager Zhao, I'm Feng Jiaqi from Hengxin!"

"CEO Feng? Why are you like this?" Zhao Feng said in surprise.

Feng Jiaqi pointed at Lin Fan and said, "It's him. He hit me! Manager Zhao, you must help me!"

"Don't worry, CEO Feng!" Zhao Feng immediately said.

When he turned around and looked at Lin Fan, he was about to say something.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside the corridor.

Qiu Kai quickly walked in and said anxiously, "Mr. Lin, are you alright?"

Even though Qiu Kai felt that he did not have the right to toast Lin Fan, he remained standing far away where he kept an eye on the door of Room 6.

Qiu Kai's thoughts were simple.

In a while, when Lin Fan was done eating, he would walk over and create a scene where he happened to meet him.

He wanted to show his face in front of Lin Fan and leave a good impression.

It would definitely be of great benefit to his future.

However…

Qiu Kai had only been thinking about it for a while when a large group of security guards rushed into the private room.

He understood that something had happened in the room.

Therefore, Qiu Kai did not hesitate at all and ran over quickly.

Lin Fan looked at Qiu Kai's anxious expression and nodded in his heart. 'Qiu Kai is not bad!' 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗻𝐞𝘁

"I'm fine. It's just that this person called Feng Jiaqi wanted to force my girlfriend to drink and even wanted to hit her, so I taught him a lesson."

Forcing Lin Fan's girlfriend to drink?

He even wanted to hit Lin Fan's girlfriend?

How dare he?

"Motherf*cker!"

Qiu Kai was furious and kicked Feng Jiaqi.

Feng Jiaqi took a few steps back and fell to the ground, curled up into a shrimp ball.

Attacking someone in front of so many security guards?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

The security guards could not help but pull out the rubber batons at their waists.

When Zhao Feng saw this, a drop of cold sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. He shouted at the security guards, "Put them down, all of you!"

When the security guards heard this, their faces revealed a hint of confusion.

However, they still put down the rubber batons as they were told.

Then, Zhao Feng bowed and said in an extremely respectful tone, "Hello, Young Master Qiu."

Although the Qiu family could not compare to the Zhou family, a woman from the Qiu family had married into the Zhou family.

This was enough to prove that the Qiu family was extraordinary.

Qiu Kai was a direct descendant of the Qiu family!

Of course, more importantly, Qiu Kai was the nephew of the Zhou family!

Qiu Kai did not pay any attention to Zhao Feng and continued to punch and kick Feng Jiaqi.

In the blink of an eye…

Feng Jiaqi was about to faint from the beating. Lin Fan said, "Alright."

When Qiu Kai heard this, he stopped and bowed again. "Yes, Mr. Lin."

Lin Fan gently stroked Xu Jingrou who was in a daze.

Then, he said, "I'll leave this to you. Is there a problem?"

"No problem! Mr. Lin, don't worry. Leave it to me. I'll definitely give him a severe punishment!" Qiu Kai said.

The meaning of his words was very clear. The beating just now could not be considered a severe punishment.

Lin Fan said casually, "Do as you see fit."

"Jingrou, let's go."

"Ah… Ah… Alright." Xu Jingrou said.

Qiu Kai quickly went to the door of the private room to send Lin Fan off.

After Lin Fan and Xu Jingrou left, Qiu Kai turned around and returned to the private room. He looked at Feng Jiaqi, who was lying on the floor like a dead man.

Then, his gaze landed on Zhao Feng, and he said in a deep voice, "Zhao Feng, you weren't rude to Mr. Lin just now, right?"

At this moment, how could Zhao Feng not understand that Lin Fan's identity was extremely terrifying? He hurriedly said, "No, no, no, no."

When Qiu Kai heard this, his expression softened.

Zhao Feng reminded Qiu Kai, "This person is the CEO of Hengxin Company, Feng Jiaqi. He's from the Feng family."

The Feng family was considered a small family in the capital.

Of course, the Feng family could not be compared to the Qiu family.

However, if the Qiu family wanted to completely ignore the Feng family, it was impossible.

"The Feng family?" Qiu Kai snorted. "Old Master Zhou will personally investigate this matter!"

Hiss!

When Zhao Fengyan heard this, he sucked in a breath of cold air, and his eyes widened.

Perhaps there were many old people with the surname Zhou in the capital.

However, the old master of the Zhou family that Qiu Kai mentioned could obviously only be one person—the old master of the Zhou family, Zhou Guotao!

That was Old Master Zhou, who had single-handedly founded a top-notch family in Hua Nation!

He… would personally investigate this matter?

Who was that young man called Lin Fan?

hen, Zhao Feng suddenly remembered what he was going to say to Lin Fan and could not help but shiver.

It was alright…

It was alright… His mouth was slow, and Qiu Kai came before he could say anything.

Otherwise, it would definitely be an extremely terrifying matter.

Then, Zhao Feng's gaze fell on Feng Jiaqi, who was lying on the ground. He was furious.

This fellow… He had almost offended Lin Fan because of him!

How despicable!

377 Receiving Da Mi Group; Welcome! (1)

The Qiu family could not ignore the Feng family.

However, in the eyes of the old master of the Zhou family, a mere Feng family… was probably just bigger ants.

CEO Wang, CEO Zhao, CEO Liu, and Sister Qin were trembling in fear when they saw Feng Jiaqi's miserable appearance.

At this moment, when they heard that Old Master Zhou would personally investigate this, they were even more scared out of their wits.

That was the pillar of the top-notch Zhou family!

At this moment, Qiu Kai seemed to have thought of something. He glanced at CEO Wang, CEO Zhao, CEO Liu, and Sister Qin with his sharp eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Did you offend Mr. Lin?"

When the four of them heard this, they broke out in a cold sweat, and their hair shook like rattle drums.

What a joke. Even the old man of the Zhou family was going to personally investigate this.

If they had provoked Lin Fan, the consequences would be… They were definitely not something they could bear.

"Then why did Mr. Lin come here for dinner today?" Qiu Kai asked.

Wang Zhi stammered, "M-Mr. Lin's woman is an employee of my company."

How smart was Qiu Kai?

With just a little thought, he knew the general process.

He swept a cold glance over and let out a muffled grunt.

Wang Zhi and Sister Qin were so frightened that they almost fell to the ground.

Lin Fan naturally did not know what happened in the private room and what happened afterward.

At this moment, Lin Fan and Xu Jingrou had already walked out of the Qingting Hotel.

There were wide asphalt roads and winding brick sidewalks in Jingbei…

Due to the narrow path, the two of them were very close to each other. Their shadows were almost fused together, and their fingers touched each other from time to time…

At this moment, Xu Jingrou stepped on a loose brick and fell to the side.

Lin Fan's reaction was extremely fast. He grabbed Xu Jingrou's slender waist.

Their eyes met.

In the next moment, the two of them seemed to be attracted to each other and kept approaching…

o(ε*)

(*3)(ε*)

In the eastern district of Jing City, in a sub-new residential area called Jingeyuan.

Xu Jingrou was staying in Room 2104 of Block C.

Today, the entire Block C seemed to be shaking as if there was an earthquake.

The next morning.

Lin Fan could vaguely hear a series of low footsteps.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw that Xu Jingrou had already changed into her business attire and was ready to leave.

"Are you awake?" Xu Jingrou said.

Lin Fan nodded. "Are you going to work?"

"Yes," Xu Jingrou replied. She looked at her watch and said, "I have something important to do today. There's breakfast and a spare key on the table…

"I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, she hurriedly walked out.

After the door was closed, the entire house fell silent.

Even though Xu Jingrou had witnessed Lin Fan's extraordinary abilities yesterday, she still chose to go to work on time today and did not stay to accompany Lin Fan.

Regarding this…

Not only was Lin Fan not angry, but he even smiled.

If his woman wanted to be a canary…

For example, Huang Ling and Qiu Ziqian, Lin Fan would be happy to give them the best food and the most luxurious clothes.

There were also strong women like Qin Yuxuan, Han Tian, Chu Yunyue, and so on.

Lin Fan had never thought of keeping them by his side.

There was also Hu Tian, who liked math.

Lin Fan was happy to call her 'Teacher'.

Everyone had their own personality and hobbies, and Lin Fan would not interfere.

Lin Fan picked up his phone out of habit.

At this moment, a text message appeared on the screen.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,489,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Lin Fan was already used to this, and his expression did not change at all.

Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained 51% of Da Mi Group's shares.]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan's expression changed slightly.

Da Mi Group was involved in many industries such as cell phones, television, air conditioning, and so on. Moreover, they were doing well in each industry.

Lin Fan remembered that he had used Da Mi's phone before.

At that time, Lin Fan had to spend a long time in front of the computer before he succeeded.

The functions and price of the Da Mi phone did not disappoint Lin Fan.

Today, Da Mi Corporation's market value had exceeded 500 billion yuan.

51% of the shares, which meant… His assets had increased by another 50 billion yuan?

Thinking of this, Lin Fan rubbed his nose. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝑜𝑚

At this moment, a gust of wind blew over from afar.

The curtains rustled in the wind, and the cabinet door that was not closed slowly opened.

In the next moment, Lin Fan was attracted by the neatly folded white bedsheets with a touch of red.

He looked at the bedsheet and thought of the first time he met Xu Jingrou. He could not help but smile.

After a while, Lin Fan slowly got up from the bed.

After he came to the living room, he picked up his chopsticks and ate the lean meat noodles on the table. He nodded and said, "It tastes good!"

After finishing the noodles, Lin Fan did not stay in the house for long. He leisurely walked downstairs.

He walked along the winding sidewalk and watched the old men in the park playing chess while quarreling. He observed the cars speeding along the road and passersby walking in a hurry.

Not long after, many tall buildings appeared in Lin Fan's vision.

Lin Fan swept his gaze over, and it landed on the Da Mi Building.

He rubbed his nose and muttered, "I didn't expect to accidentally walk here."

378 Receiving Da Mi Group; Welcome! (2)

At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan's pocket rang.

He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number from Jingbei.

Lin Fan did not hesitate and answered the call. be𝚍𝚗ove𝚕.𝚗𝚎𝚝

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lin Fan?" The voice on the other end of the phone was clearly not fluent in the language of Hua Nation.

When Lin Fan heard this voice, he immediately knew who it was.

It was the CEO of Da Mi Group, Leibs!

That was because Lin Fan used to watch Leibs' live broadcast speech often.

"You're CEO Leibs, right? I'm Lin Fan," Lin Fan said.

"Mr. Lin, you're really amazing. You guessed me right away," said Leibs excitedly.

Lin Fan thought to himself, 'With your half-baked language, it's hard not to guess!'

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, for your trust in our Da Mi Group. You've directly purchased 51% of the shares, allowing us to have more funds and thus obtain better development opportunities."

Even though that was what Leibs said, in reality?

His heart was bleeding and filled with regret.

Back then, in order to develop the company, he had no choice but to dilute and sell a large number of shares.

It was not easy for him to develop Da Mi Group into a company that was influential in Hua Nation today.

In the end, Leibs suddenly realized that 51% of the company's shares had been collected by someone else.

More than half of the shares!

This was equivalent to the company that he had founded completely becoming someone else's.

As long as the other party wanted to, he could easily replace him as the CEO.

Lin Fan randomly came up with a reason and said, "I only made a small investment. It's because you're capable that Da Mi Group is doing well."

He could only say this.

Even if he said it out loud, Leibs would not believe it.

"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Lin.

"Our Da Mi Group has just moved into a new building. I wonder when you'll be free? Can you come and give us some guidance?

"In addition, we still need your approval for our future plans."

"Review the plans and guide the company?" Lin Fan asked. "There's no need for that. The reason why I invested in Da Mi Group is because I believe in your abilities.

"Therefore, everything should still develop slowly according to the direction you set."

When Leibs heard this, his face revealed a look of unconcealable joy.

Da Mi Group was his blood and sweat.

In his eyes, it was like his own child.

Leibs had already laid out a very complete route for the development of Da Mi Group.

He believed that as long as he followed this path, Da Mi Group would eventually become a first-class enterprise that stood at the top of the world!

However, if this major shareholder, Lin Fan, suddenly intervened and made changes…

If it was just a small change, it would be nothing.

However, if the core was changed, what would happen to Da Mi Group?

This was something that Leibs had always been worried about.

Now, he could finally relax.

However, Leibs still had a regretful tone as he said, "Then I can only follow your instructions and slowly develop."

Even though Leibs did not sound happy, how could Lin Fan not tell what was the true situation?

However, he did not care too much about it.

Every time Leibs did a live broadcast, Lin Fan could easily feel his love for Da Mi Group.

Lin Fan continued, "I'm not far from Da Mi Group's building. I'll go and take a look inside."

"That's great!" Leibs said excitedly. "I'll go downstairs to welcome you!"

As for welcoming him…

Lin Fan was not really interested.

However, he remembered that the security guards did not know him at all.

What if he was not allowed to go upstairs later?

In addition, he was not familiar with Da Mi Group's office building at all, so he did need a guide.

"Alright." He nodded.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan walked slowly toward Da Mi Group's office building.

As for Leibs, he was busy.

He hurriedly walked out of the office and said to the very capable male secretary outside the door, "Quick, inform all the management level above P7 to line up and gather on the first floor of the building as soon as possible!"

In the eyes of outsiders, Leibs was an entrepreneur who would joke around.

In the eyes of the male secretary, Leibs was a steady, calm, and capable man.

The male secretary had never seen Leibs so anxious before.

What exactly happened?

The male secretary did not dare to hesitate at all and hurriedly said, "Yes, Sir!"

Then, he quickly dialed a number.

The next moment, a large group of men and women in suits and leather shoes stopped what they were doing and rushed downstairs.

Moreover, under Leibs' arrangements, they all stood neatly.

This scene caught the attention of all the employees.

Qiao Shiya was one of them.

A few months ago, due to Qiao Shiya's poor performance at the Internet Conference, she was forced to leave.

She was fired from the company.

After that, she had no choice but to look for a new job in Jiangbei.

However, all the major internet companies in Jiangbei attended the conference.

After seeing Qiao Shiya's performance, they naturally would not choose to accept her.

As for some small companies, the pay was low and the workload was high. Qiao Shiya tried to work for a period of time, but she could not persist at all.

Qiao Shiya hesitated for a long time. In the end, she still chose to come to the capital.

In Jingbei… she was a completely new face.

At the same time, the overall salary and benefits far surpassed the jobs in Jiangbei.

After spending a long time preparing, Qiao Shiya successfully entered Da Mi Group.

At this moment, Qiao Shiya also noticed the movement in the hall on the first floor. She could not help but ask in puzzlement, "Why do I feel like a lot of leaders have gone downstairs?"

Beside her, a man wearing black glasses said, "I just received news that all the management levels above P7 in the company were dispatched."

Qiao Shiya was quite good-looking, and the black-rimmed glasses man had always had feelings for her.

Therefore, he directly told her what he knew.

"All of them?" Qiao Shiya was even more confused.

The black-rimmed glasses man said, "Yes, look… Director Huang, Director Liu, and Director Lei all went down."

Then, they watched as Leibs personally instructed the leaders above level P7 to line up.

Seeing this scene, the black-rimmed glasses man said, "They seem to be welcoming someone. So many leaders are welcoming that person together… Even the last time when the big leader of Jingbei came, we didn't make such a big scene out of it.

"This time… I'm afraid it's a higher-up!"

As the black-rimmed glasses man said this, his eyes flashed faintly.

As a man, he could not help but feel a sense of yearning when facing a big leader.

Qiao Shiya, who was beside him, could not help but look over even more attentively.

At this moment, a tall and handsome figure appeared in the hall.

At the same time, Leibs hurriedly went forward and said excitedly, "Hello, Mr. Lin!"

Then, the leaders above level P7 who were standing neatly shouted in unison, "Welcome, Mr. Lin!"

This scene…

The black-rimmed glasses man was surprised. "Mr. Lin? CEO Lei and the others are actually welcoming such a young man?"

Compared to the black-rimmed glasses man's surprise, Qiao Shiya was completely stunned.

Lin Fan!

It was Lin Fan!

The CEO of Da Mi Group and the employees above management level P7 were all downstairs to welcome him!

What was his identity?

The black-rimmed glasses man saw that Qiao Shiya had been paying attention to the lobby and thought that she was very curious about the young man who Leibs and the others were welcoming.

Hence, he quickly did a search online on his phone.

"No wonder CEO Lei and the others want to welcome Mr. Lin. Shiya, don't look at how young Mr. Lin is. He's actually the largest shareholder of our Da Mi Group!"

When Qiao Shiya heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly.

Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Da Mi Group!

How much money would that be?

If…

If… she had agreed to go out with him during the blind date.

Then she would have been the wife of the major shareholder of Da Mi Group.

Now, Leibs and the other leaders were all waiting to welcome Lin Fan!

Thinking of this…

Qiao Shiya was filled with endless regret.

She even shed a tear of regret.

379 Regret; Apologize! (1)

Under the company of Leibs and many other leaders, Lin Fan strolled around Da Mi Group's office building.

"This is the editorial department. They're mainly in charge of Da Mi Group's live broadcast, news, product promotion, planning, and so on.

"The product development department is in front. They're mainly responsible for the development of new cell phones and smart home appliances."

Every time they went to a place, Leibs would enthusiastically introduce it in detail.

After a while, Leibs arrived at the IT department.

At this moment, Qiao Shiya and the black-rimmed glasses man were sitting near the corner.

Like before, Lebs introduced, "Mr. Lin, this is the IT department. They're mainly responsible for the network architecture, software development, and so on."

The employees who were originally working stood up one after another and said respectfully, "Hello, CEO Lei!"

Leibs pointed at Lin Fan and introduced, "This is Mr. Lin, the largest shareholder of our Da Mi Group!"

Many of the employees were shocked.

Lin Fan was simply too young.

However, the employees reacted quickly and immediately said, "Hello, Mr. Lin!"

Compared to the ordinary employees' surprise, Qiao Shiya's entire heart felt as if it had been hit by a hammer.

It was true!

It really was Lin Fan!

Furthermore, Lin Fan was the biggest shareholder of Da Mi Group!

Qiao Shiya recalled the scene of the blind date back then, and tears of regret flowed out of the corners of her eyes again.

Lin Fan just glanced at Qiao Shiya casually and did not care.

Following that, under the lead of Leibs and the rest, Lin Fan continued walking forward.

The man with the black-rimmed glasses looked at the retreating figures of Lin Fan and the others and exclaimed, "So young! I never thought that the major shareholder of our Da Mi Group would be so young.

"In fact, it feels like he's about our age, right?"

Qiao Shiya shook her head and said, "I'm fine…"

At this moment, the phone in her pocket rang.

Qiao Shiya looked at the caller ID. It was her mother.

Hence, Qiao Shiya picked up her phone and walked out before picking up the call.

"Shiya, when will you get your salary this month? Your brother's rent is due." As soon as she picked up the phone, her mother, Chen Minfen's, loud voice sounded from the other end of the phone.

Qiao Shiya said, "It should be in these two days."

"That's good!" Chen Minfen said with satisfaction. "By the way, there are many rich people in Jingbei. Hurry up and find a rich boyfriend. That way, your brother will have money to study and buy a house in the future!"

After saying that, Qiao Shiya immediately thought of Lin Fan.

Two streams of hot tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes again.

She sobbed, "There's no more, no more…"

"What are you talking about?" Chen Minfen was puzzled.

Lin Fan did not care about Qiao Shiya's reaction at all.

He spent the entire morning strolling around Da Mi Group's office building.

It was time for lunch.

Leibs had wanted to invite Lin Fan to a high-class hotel for a meal.

However, Lin Fan suggested that they eat at the company cafeteria.

Thus, everyone went to the third floor together.

After they arrived, the employees in the queue shouted, "Hello, Mr. Lin and CEO Lei!"

Lin Fan had to admit that the food in the canteen of Da Mi Group's office building was pretty good.

There was beef, chicken, duck, vegetables, meat soup, and so on. The dishes were all exquisite and delicious.

Lin Fan was very satisfied.

After eating his fill, Lin Fan did not stay in Da Mi Group for long. Instead, he continued to stroll around Jingbei.

He passed through wide streets, narrow alleys, overlapping high-rise buildings, and ancient courtyards…

Gradually, Lin Fan started to feel tired.

When Lin Fan raised his head and saw a small restaurant called Zhou Ji Zhajiang Noodles, he muttered, "Anyway, I don't have anything much to do. I'll go to the Zhou family to take a look."

After all, he had met Qiu Kai yesterday and said that he wanted to visit Old Master Zhou.

Lin Fan waved for a taxi and said, "Soaring Road No. 1."

"Alright!" the driver replied.

He stepped on the accelerator and sped forward.

Lin Fan sat in the car and looked at the scenery of Jingbei. He had a different feeling.

Perhaps it was because he had been driving for too long and was bored, the driver said, "You should be a foreigner, right?"

Lin Fan said, "You can tell?"

"The locals usually don't go to Soaring Road because the people who live there are all very important people," explained the driver.

"Although the buildings on Soaring Road are very beautiful, if we go over there and accidentally bump into a big shot, it'll be too late for regrets.

"Later… Just look from afar. Don't offend anyone."

Lin Fan knew that the other party had good intentions. He nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder. I'm just going to Special Road No. 1 as a guest."

The driver looked at Lin Fan with a strange expression and smiled. "Bro, your serious look is really scary!"

Obviously, the driver thought that Lin Fan was bragging.

Was that not so?

Soaring Road No. 1, what kind of place was that? 𝓫ℯ𝓭𝓃𝓸𝓋ℯ𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂

It was the residence of the Zhou family, one of the top families in Hua Nation!

Was this a place that ordinary people could enter as guests?

As for those who could enter as guests, which one of them was not picked up by a luxury car?

380 Regret; Apologize! (2)

How could someone take a taxi?

Perhaps the driver felt that Lin Fan was not sincere enough.

Therefore, he could not be bothered to chat with him anymore.

A moment later, the driver stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of a gorgeous manor.

This… It was the Zhou family's residence at Soaring Road No. 1.

After Lin Fan paid the money, he strode forward.

The driver looked at the red light in the distance and could not be bothered to drive forward immediately. He looked at Lin Fan's figure from afar and sneered, "He's really going to Soaring Road No. 1. This guy is too good at pretending. If he really has the ability, let me see if he can just walk in."

As Lin Fan got closer and closer to the entrance of Soaring Road No. 1, the smile on the driver's face grew wider.

In the next moment…

The driver froze.

That was because the two security guards standing at the door quickly went up to Lin Fan when they saw him.

One of them even led him in very respectfully.

This young man… He was really a guest of the Zhou family!

Heavens!

What kind of big shot was he?

Just as the driver was in a daze, a honk sounded from behind.

It turned out that the taxi had stopped for too long and the red light had turned green.

Only then did the driver put away his thoughts and forcefully suppress the shock in his heart. He suddenly stepped on the accelerator and sped into the distance.

Even though Lin Fan had come to the Zhou family a few months ago and had seen the tall rockery, the clear stream, and the colorful flowers…

When he saw them again, he could not help but sigh in admiration.

It was extremely beautiful.

A moment later, he arrived at the main hall of the Zhou family. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗻𝐞𝘁

"Long time no see, Little Brother Lin!" Zhou Guotao laughed heartily.

Obviously, the Zhou family… was all waiting for Lin Fan… This young man was only in his 20s!

If there were outsiders here, their jaws would definitely drop to the ground in shock.

This was the Zhou family, one of the top families in Hua Nation!

Even if Lin Fan had saved Old Master Zhou's life, he did not need to be so polite, right?

However, ordinary people did not know that Lin Fan was a member of the Dragon Division.

At the same time, he also saved the lives of Old Master Zhang Jian's grandson and Old Master Qin Weiming's grandson.

In addition, Lin Fan invented the earthquake prediction device, super battery, and medicine to treat diabetes. He also solved many math problems.

These… It made Lin Fan befriend the Zhou family, the Zhang family, and the Qin family. Furthermore, he became the pillar of the country!

Zhou Guotao understood that as long as Lin Fan wanted to… In the future, he would definitely not be weaker than the Zhou family. In fact, he would far surpass the Zhou family!

Lin Fan said, "Old Master Zhou, long time no see."

The two of them talked as they walked inside, laughing from time to time.

Zhou Guotao had already treated Lin Fan as someone of the same generation.

At this moment, a man in a suit walked over and said respectfully, "Old Master, Feng Baohua, the head of the Feng family, brought a few people from the Feng family and said that he's here to apologize."

Zhou Guotao did not reply immediately. He looked at Lin Fan and said, "Little Brother Lin, do you want to meet them?"

"Let's see what they have to say first," Lin Fan said.

Zhou Guotao nodded at the man in a suit.

After a while, Feng Baohua, who had white hair on his temples, and Feng Jiaqi, who had been beaten up till his face looked like a pig's head yesterday, walked over.

The Feng family was based in Jingbei… It could even be said that they had a certain reputation in the entire Hua Nation.

In the past, no matter where the Feng family went, they could be arrogant.

However, at this moment, they were all hunched over, extremely nervous.

Feng Baohua said, "Greetings, Old Master Zhou."

Zhou Guotao only replied with a soft hum, his attitude extremely cold.

Feng Baohua became even more flustered and hurriedly said, "Yesterday's matter was due to our Feng family's lack of discipline. Today, we specially came over to apologize…"

"You didn't offend me; you offended Little Brother Lin!" Zhou Guotao said indifferently.

Feng Baohua followed Zhou Guotao's finger. Yesterday, he had already found out about Lin Fan from Feng Jiaqi.

He also knew that Lin Fan was very young.

However, after seeing him, he could not help but be shocked.

Such a young man had actually made the old master of the Zhou family personally question him. Moreover, he had even let out a thunderous rage.

From last night to this morning, all of the Feng family's businesses had suffered a terrible blow.

Many of his business partners had severed all ties with the Feng family.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry. Our Feng family isn't strict with our discipline. This has caused a junior to bully others…" Feng Baohua hurriedly said.

At this point, Feng Baohua turned to Feng Jiaqi and shouted, "Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Lin!"

Feng Jiaqi was so frightened that he trembled and knelt on the ground. He said in a trembling voice, "M-Mr. Lin, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I was blinded by greed. I beg you… I beg you, please forgive me…"

As he spoke, snot and tears flowed down his face.

Yesterday, after Feng Jiaqi returned to the Feng family, he was scolded badly.

Some said that they were going to kidnap him and send him to the Zhou family.

Some said that they should break his four limbs to show the Feng family's sincerity.

Some said that he had to kneel in front of the Zhou family's door for three days and three nights.

Lin Fan looked at Feng Jiaqi's pitiful face and said, "Feng Jiaqi has learned his lesson. Let's forget about this matter."

Feng Jiaqi was so excited that he could not stop kowtowing. "Thank you, Mr. Lin, thank you."

"Thank you, Mr. Lin…" Feng Guohua also said.

Then, his gaze fell on Zhou Guotao.

"Little Brother Lin is kind-hearted, so he easily forgave you…" Zhou Guotao said. "However, I don't want something like this to happen again."

"Yes, yes, yes… I promise that this will never happen again," Feng Guo Hua replied repeatedly.

"Alright, you can go now," Zhou Guotao said.

Then, Zhou Guotao, Lin Fan, and the core members of the Zhou family sat in the living room and chatted.

At night, they had a sumptuous dinner together.

Lin Fan was undoubtedly the main character of the banquet.

Originally, the Zhou family wanted Lin Fan to stay.

However, Lin Fan realized that Xu Jingrou might still be waiting for him at home.

Hence, he tactfully declined.

When Lin Fan arrived at Unit 2104, Xu Jingrou had just taken a shower. There were still a few drops of water on her snow-white skin.

Under the illumination of the light, her skin was as translucent as jade, and the water droplets were as translucent as gems embedded on the surface.

Coupled with Xu Jingrou's voluptuous figure and exquisite facial features…

Her entire person was like a perfect piece of art. Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.

Xu Jingrou saw that Lin Fan was staring at her with his naked eyes. She blushed and said, "Why are you standing at the door? Why aren't you coming in?"

"Ah… Ah… Alright…" Lin Fan replied.

The moonlight was like a blanket, and the ground was like a bed.

….

It was a sleepless night.

….

The next day, the sky was bright.

When Lin Fan opened his eyes, Xu Jingrou had already changed and was about to leave.

When she saw that Lin Fan had woken up, she said, "Breakfast is on the table. I'm leaving."

After saying that, she hurriedly walked out.

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. He looked at his phone.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,598,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained ten units of Ocean Villa Lavie.]

Ocean Villa Lavie. Lin Fan was rather familiar with this name.

This was because he had seen this villa often when he was watching reels a while ago.

According to the reels, this was the most luxurious villa in the capital, and each one cost more than one billion yuan.

In addition, even if one had money, one might not be able to buy it. One had to have an extremely high status.

It was even rumored that when President Ma wanted to buy a villa, he did not succeed.

Now, he had directly obtained ten villas?

They were worth tens of billions?

It seemed… not bad.

Then, Lin Fan slowly got out of bed and leisurely ate the noodles on the table.

381 Receiving the Award; A Wonderful Speech!

Lin Fan had just finished the noodles on the table when the phone in his pocket rang.

He looked at the caller ID. It was the dean of the Mathematics Department, Hu Chuan.

"Lin Fan, where are you now? Why aren't you at Huaqing University yet? The Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize Ceremony is about to begin!" As soon as the call connected, Hu Chuan's anxious voice sounded.

Lin Fan finally remembered that today was the day of the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize Ceremony. He said, "I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Fan hailed a taxi and sped toward Huaqing University.

After all, this award was related to the mission.

Soon, he arrived at Huaqing University.

At this moment, Hu Chuan was waiting anxiously at the school gate.

When he saw Lin Fan getting out of the taxi, he quickly went up to him and said, "Lin Fan, you're finally here. Let's go in quickly."

"Alright," Lin Fan replied.

Under Hu Chuan's urging, the two of them arrived at the auditorium in no time.

At this moment, a bright banner hung in front of the auditorium—Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award Ceremony!

Below them were men and women who wore glasses and looked very refined and knowledgeable.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in formal attire standing on the podium said in an extremely excited voice, "Thank you very much for attending this year's Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Award Ceremony. I am the host of this year's award ceremony, Yu Lehua."

The entire venue immediately erupted into extremely enthusiastic applause.

Then, Yu Lehua spoke on stage about the development of mathematics, its impact on society, and the great mathematicians.

About ten minutes later, Yu Lehua said, "Today, I'm honored to hold this event at Huaqing University. I'm here to announce the winners of this year's Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize!

"He's young, but he solved Zhou's Conjecture which hasn't been solved for nearly 20 years, and the Twin Prime Number Conjecture which hasn't been solved for more than 100 years. Some people say that he's the world's number one in prime number research. He's the closest man to solving Riemann's Hypothesis!

"Just when everyone thought that he was going to try his best to solve Riemann's Hypothesis, he solved an abstract algebra problem that was unsolvable for nearly 40 years, the Hail Conjecture!

"However, his mathematics journey didn't end there. Soon, he challenged the Hodge Conjecture and succeeded!

"It's Lin Fan from Jiangbei University!"

As one achievement after another was announced, the atmosphere at the scene had already reached its climax.

When Lin Fan's name was called out, the crowd immediately erupted into thunderous applause.

Yu Lehua handed over the medal and microphone and said, "Mr. Lin, do you have anything to say to everyone?"

The entire auditorium fell silent.

Everyone turned their attention to Lin Fan, anticipating what he would say next.

At this moment, many people picked up their phones and were ready to record.

Lin Fan slowly opened his mouth and said, "Thank you, everyone."

Everyone was still staring at his mouth.

They were looking forward to it.

However, there was nothing more?

Lin Fan did not open his mouth again!

When Lin Fan saw Yu Lehua standing at the side in a daze, he could not help but cast a glance at him.

Only then did Yu Lehua react. He stuttered, "Ah… Ah… Thank you, Lin Fan, for your wonderful speech."

Wonderful speech?

A 'thank you' was also considered a wonderful speech?

The crowd below the stage froze. The corners of their mouths twitched slightly, but they still applauded.

Yu Lehua seemed to have realized that he had said something wrong, and a rare look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

After Lin Fan left the stage, Yu Lehua continued, "This figure made a major discovery in abstract geometry and successfully published a thesis in Mathematics Chronicle…

"It's Liu Peng from Huaqing University!"

Then, a man in his 40s in a white shirt stepped forward.

This time, the applause was much less than Lin Fan's.

It was no wonder.

Major discovery in abstract geometry?

Mathematics Chronicle?

These… Compared to Lin Fan's achievements, it was like comparing the sun to a firefly. There was no comparison at all.

In reality, a large part of the reason why many people were here today was because of Lin Fan.

Then, Liu Peng gave a long speech that he had already prepared.

Lin Fan did not care about that at all.

After he returned to his seat, he immediately turned his attention to the mission system.

[Mission: Win five international awards (1/5). Reward: Five golden packets.]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan's lips curled up.

Sure enough, the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize was an international award.

Hu Chuan looked at Liu Peng, who was talking about a series of great principles, and sighed. "Lin Fan, why didn't you say much earlier? You didn't prepare a speech?" 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦

Lin Fan said, "Didn't I say thank you?"

Hu Chuan's lips twitched, but he did not know what to say.

At this moment, the super smart watch on Lin Fan's wrist flashed slightly.

Then, all the electronic devices that had taken photos of Lin Fan flashed.

After Liu Peng's passionate speech, a few other seniors from the mathematics world went up to speak.

At this point, the award ceremony for the Shiing-Chern Mathematics Prize had officially ended.

Many scholars and experts left in an orderly manner.

Some people discussed it as they walked.

"I heard that Lin Fan was very young. I didn't expect him to be so young."

"That's right! He's so mysterious. There are no photos of him on the internet."

"It's just that what he said was a little… too simple."

"That's not important. What's important is that I've already filmed him."

As he spoke, he took out his phone.

However, at the next moment, he was a little puzzled.

"What happened? I remember recording him."

In reality, it was not just him. All the images of Lin Fan had disappeared into thin air.

Clearly, it was Lil White's doing.

After walking out of the auditorium, Lin Fan walked slowly along the winding path.

He looked at the clear lake, the verdant trees, the ancient buildings, and the walking students…

He could not help but compare Huaqing University with Jiangbei University.

In comparison, Huaqing University was richer in history and had a stronger learning atmosphere.

Jiangbei University, on the other hand, seemed more relaxed and relaxed.

Each had their own characteristics.

However, Lin Fan did not wander around Huaqing University for too long.

This was because the two old men who were over 50 years old and would occasionally let out a laugh were following him. He really could not raise his interest.

No wonder Hu Chuan and Song Guotao were so happy.

One had to know… this was the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize!

In the past, they could only look up with their mouths open.

Now, someone from their school had actually won a medal!

Lin Fan said, "It's about time, right? Let's go back to the hotel to pack up and return to Jiangbei."

"Alright." Hu Chuan chuckled again.

382 Returning to School; Trouble with the Song Family!

At this moment, Lin Fan's phone vibrated.

12:00 PM!

The red packets were here!

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received three yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 999 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,888 yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained a herbal tea recipe.]

This time, Lin Fan received a total of 32,189 yuan and a herbal tea recipe.

Regarding the 32,189 yuan, Lin Fan naturally did not mind at all.

He immediately turned his attention to the herbal tea recipe.

[Herbal Tea Recipe: A drink that refreshes the heart and mind, reduces internal heat, nourishes the stomach, and maintains beauty.]

Then, a complete recipe for making herbal tea appeared in Lin Fan's mind.

Seeing this…

Lin Fan touched his nose and thought, "Herbal tea? It doesn't seem to be of much use."

If he wanted to drink tea, he could just brew some Spirit Tea.

Why go through so much trouble?

Lin Fan, Hu Chuan, and Song Guotao had lunch and packed their things at the hotel before they sat in the first-class cabin.

Jiangbei City, Song family.

Song Wenming slowly hung up the call.

"Old Master, what did King Herbal Tea say?" Song Yichen asked hurriedly.

Instantly, the entire hall fell silent.

Everyone's faces were filled with worry.

Back then, the old man of the Song family, Song Wenming, had accidentally come across a delicious herbal tea. He thought that there was a big market for it, so he opened a herbal tea shop.

The facts proved that Song Wenming had a very unique vision!

The business of the herbal tea shop was very good. Gradually, he began to open branches.

After that, he made a gamble, built a factory, and expanded the business to Jiangbei City, Jiang Province… and even the entire country!

Song Herbal Tea's development momentum was just right.

However, they found out that the recipe that Song Herbal Tea used belonged to an ancestral recipe, and the man, Wang Hu, had already registered a patent for it.

Therefore, Song Wenming wanted to buy the patent.

However, Wang Hu proposed a condition of only renting and not selling.

After some consideration, Song Wenming still chose to accept it.

This lease lasted for more than ten years.

It was Song Herbal Tea that made the Song family one of the top families in Jiangbei and even Jiang Province!

Seeing that Song Herbal Tea's sales were so high, Wang Hu founded a company called King Herbal Tea a few years ago.

The taste and effects were all exactly the same.

However, the sales of King Herbal Tea were always very poor. In fact, they were less than one-tenth of Song Herbal Tea.

A few days ago, when the Song family was preparing to pay the patent fees for the next year, Wang Hu suddenly suggested not to rent the formula to the Song family.

The entire Song family instantly became gloomy.

The Song family might be wealthy and powerful now, but the sales of Song Herbal Tea were huge. Correspondingly, the factories, workers, machinery, and raw materials… There were also many of them.

If they could continue to produce and sell herbal tea, the Song family's power would also increase.

If the market gradually shrank, the Song family needed to slowly reduce production and safely withdraw.

It was very fatal to suddenly stop production like this.

Song Yichen said, "If it really doesn't work, let's use No. 5 Herbal Tea to replace the herbal tea we have now?"

No. 5 Herbal Tea?

In fact, Song Wenming had great foresight.

He understood that renting the herbal tea recipe was like having someone choking him.

There would be a problem one day.

Therefore, he set up a research and development department a long time ago and created several herbal tea formulas that belonged to him. He then quietly introduced them to the market as new products.

However, even though these new products were heavily promoted, there were not many sales.

This made the Song family very helpless.

The No. 5 Herbal Tea that Song Yichen was talking about was a type of herbal tea that had been recently developed. Its taste and effects were very similar to those of the old-fashioned herbal tea.

Of course, it was only similar.

"That's the only way," Song Wenming thought for a moment and said.

Song Jiaxin, who had always been carefree, sighed slightly when she heard the conversation between the elders.

Future Group.

Sun Luguo: [Sister Jiaxin, how is Song Herbal Tea doing now? Our Sun family can take out some funds to help with the turnover.]

Liu Zhenyu: [Our Liu family can do it too!]

Duan Qian: [And our Duan family!]

Zhang Bin: [Our Zhang family has no problem with helping out either!]

Tan Shengyu: [And the Tan family!]

Song Jiaxin: [Thank you for your kind intentions. When I need it, I'll definitely ask for it.]

Song Jiaxin: [Let's not talk for now. I still have some things to deal with here.]

Tan Shengyu: [Do you guys think Brother Lin Fan knows about this?]

Duan Qian: [I think so. Isn't Brother Lin Fan in the same class as Sister Jiaxin?]

Tan Shengyu: [That's true. However, this herbal tea problem… is indeed not easy to resolve.]

The few of them chatted in the Future Group for a while before falling silent.

Lin Fan returned to the Coiling Dragon Villa and played with his phone for a while. Then, he lay down on the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep.

In the blink of an eye, it was the second day.

He glanced at his phone out of habit.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,532,900 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,000,000 yuan.]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan could not help but mumble, "Did my luck run out again?"

After breakfast, he drove the Cullinan straight to Jiangbei University.

At that moment, a bright banner hung in front of the gate of Jiangbei University.

'We warmly congratulate our school's Lin Fan on winning the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize!'

Lin Fan was already used to seeing such banners, so he did not pay much attention to it.

After arriving at the classroom…

"Brother Lin Fan, how was the capital?" Song Yi asked excitedly. "Was it fun?"

Lin Fan nodded. "Not bad!"

"Did you meet any pretty girls?" Zheng Jinbao asked.

Beside them, Song Yi and Ma Zhong could not help but perk up their ears.

Obviously, they were very concerned about this matter.

When he heard the words 'pretty girls', Lin Fan could not help but think of Xu Jingrou, and his lips curled up.

Zheng Jinbao seemed to have understood something. He gave a thumbs up and praised, "As expected of Brother Lin Fan!"

"Brother Lin Fan, awesome!" Song Yi said.

"Awesome!" Ma Zhong said.

At this moment, a crisp bell rang throughout the entire campus.

The old professor walked in slowly with a book in his arms.

He first scanned the classroom with his turbid eyes.

When he saw Lin Fan, his eyes lit up.

The old professor 'loved' Lin Fan to the bone.

First, he won the Higher Education Cup, then he solved several math problems…

Now, he even won the Shiing-Shen Chern Mathematics Prize!

Most importantly, Lin Fan had been studying very hard. It could be seen from how he slept in class every day.

After a while, the old professor picked up the name list and said, "Today, I'll do the roll call first."

The management of the university was very loose, and most of them relied on self-study.

The professors rarely called attendance.

However, that did not mean that they never called out names.

Otherwise, how would the credits be distributed?

"Ma Zhong!"

"Here!"

"Lin Fan!"

"Here!"

"Wang Xinhui!"

"Here!"

383 We Don't Understand; I Do!

The professor's lecture was like a lullaby that made Lin Fan drowsy.

However, Lin Fan did not feel sleepy at all.

"Song Jiaxin!" the old professor said.

The classroom was silent.

"Song Jiaxin!" The old professor called out again and glanced around the classroom.

After a while, there was still no response.

Therefore, the old professor picked up a pen and drew a line behind the name.

Seeing this…

Lin Fan could not help but glance at Song Xin's seat.

As expected, there was no one at the spot.

The time in school was like flowing water, passing in the blink of an eye.

Song Jiaxin did not come to the classroom even after school.

However, Lin Fan did not take it to heart.

After all, skipping class… To university students, it was nothing.

Moreover, it was Song Jiaxin.

Lin Fan drove the Cullinan forward.

Looking at the traffic jam in front of him, he could not help but turn the steering wheel and take another path.

At this moment, a restaurant called Gu He appeared in front of him.

Gu He's decorations were very unique. In addition, there were many luxury cars parked at the entrance.

The dining environment was good, and it made people have an appetite.

There were luxury cars at the door, which proved that the taste of the food was definitely not bad.

As he walked through the door, he was greeted by a fragrance that whetted his appetite.

The waiter standing at the side said respectfully, "Welcome to Gu He Restaurant."

Lin Fan nodded and was about to continue walking forward when…

Not far away, he unexpectedly saw an acquaintance… Tan Shengyu!

The first time he met Tan Shengyu was when he was racing on the mountain road. Then, it was Song Jiaxin's birthday party, and then the car show…

After that, Tan Shengyu organized a dinner party and invited Lin Fan, Song Jiaxin, Sun Luguo, Liu Yuhang, and the others.

It was also because of that dinner that Lin Fan and these rich young masters had a deeper connection.

That was how Lin Fan had helped them buy stocks to earn money.

As for Tan Shengyu and the rest, they truly treated Lin Fan as a good brother.

When the young master of Aiya Corporation offended Lin Fan, Tan Shengyu and the others worked together to destroy Aiya Corporation.

When Lin Fan saw Tan Shengyu, he turned around and saw Lin Fan. He said excitedly, "Brother Lin Fan!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly went up to her.

"Haha! Brother Lin Fan, are you here to eat too?"

"Yeah," Lin Fan said.

"That's good. How about we go together?" Tan Shengyu said.

"Alright!" Lin Fan said.

"I'll get the waiter to arrange a private room for us!" Tan Shengyu said happily.

Lin Fan waved his hand. "No need. It's more lively to eat outside."

"Alright!" Tan Shengyu said. "Then we'll sit outside."

Earlier, Tan Shengyu was with a pure-looking woman in Chanel and a man in Armani…

They looked at Lin Fan in confusion.

After all, it was rare for Tan Shengyu to be so passionate toward someone of the same generation. It could even be said that he was trying to curry favor with him.

Especially since it was someone from the same generation as them but they did not know Lin Fan at all.

After taking their seats, Tan Shengyu pointed at the pure-looking woman and the man and introduced them, "Brother Lin Fan, this is Gao Lan and Zhu Weifeng.

"Young Master Sun, Young Master Liu, and I all call him Brother Lin Fan. You guys can call him Brother Lin Fan too."

When Gao Lan and Zhu Weifeng heard this, their hearts could not help but tremble slightly.

They naturally knew who Tan Shengyu was referring to when he mentioned Young Master Sun and Young Master Liu.

It was definitely Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang!

They were top young masters in Jiang Province.

Especially after Sun Pharmaceuticals and Liu Pharmaceuticals obtained the human islet recovery medicine.

Even Sun Luguo and Liu Yuhang had to address the person in front of them as Brother Lin Fan?

The identity of this person is It was a little scary.

Gao Lan and Zhu Weifeng looked at Lin Fan with respect.

Lin Fan smiled. "We're all friends. Let's just be casual."

While the few of them were chatting, exquisite dishes were slowly served.

"Brother Lin Fan, this is Gu He's specialty, the golden pufferfish!" Tan Shengyu introduced. "The taste is very good!"

After a pause, he explained, "The pufferfish here are all artificially bred. The chefs who have ten years of experience in cooking pufferfish have perfectly removed all the toxins in the pufferfish. At the same time, they retain the fish's freshness, fragrance, and tenderness to the greatest extent. It's very delicious!"

Lin Fan was already a little hungry. With such an introduction, he could not hold back anymore.

He picked up the spoon in front of him, scooped a spoonful of white pufferfish meat, and put it into his mouth.

"Gulp!"

Fresh, fragrant, tender!

Indeed, it was exactly as Tan Shengyu had said!

"Brother Lin Fan, how does it taste?" Tan Shengyu asked."

"Not bad!" Lin Fan said.

When Tan Shengyu heard this, he was as happy as a child hearing a teacher's praise.

Gao Lan and Zhu Weifeng saw everything and were even more shocked by Lin Fan's identity.

They knew that Lin Fan definitely had an extraordinary status. They had to find a topic to talk about and try to build a relationship with him.

However, they did not know what to say.

"I'll invite everyone over after I'm done with Sister Jiaxin's family matters," Tan Shengyu continued. "We can have a gathering here."

When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but remember that Song Jiaxin had not come to school the entire day. He could not help but ask, "What's the matter with Jiaxin's family?"

Jiaxin was naturally Song Jiaxin.

Lin Fan had always had a good impression of her.

Tan Shengyu said in a surprised tone, "Brother Lin Fan, you don't know about it?"

"Know what?" Lin Fan asked. "I was in Jingbei these few days and only came back yesterday afternoon."

Tan Shengyu said in realization, "I see… Brother Lin Fan, you should know that Song Herbal Tea belongs to Sister Jiaxin, right?"

Song Herbal Tea belonged to Song Jiaxin?

Lin Fan really did not know about this.

However, he still nodded.

Then, Tan Shengyu briefly explained Song Liangcha's situation.

When Lin Fan heard that, a strange expression appeared on his face, "So, Jiaxin's family is lacking a good herbal tea recipe?"

It was no wonder that he was acting like this.

Herbal tea recipe?

He had just gotten one yesterday.

As for whether it was good or not?

How could something obtained from the system be bad?

"Yeah." Tan Shengyu nodded. "If it's a financial problem, we can help solve it. However, we don't know anything about herbal teas."

Lin Fan said, "It's okay. I do."

"Huh?" Tan Shengyu was stunned.

Lin Fan did not care about that much. He took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Song Jiaxin.

Lin Fan: [Where are you?]

After a while, his phone vibrated slightly.

Song Jiaxin: [You're back in Jiangbei? I'm at Song Herbal Tea's factory.]

Lin Fan said: [Okay, I'll be right there.]

384 New Item; Delicious!

Song Herbal Tea was one of the most popular drinks in Hua Nation, and its sales even surpassed Coke!

In order to cope with the huge sales, Song Herbal Tea established factories in many parts of the country.

Jiangbei was the base camp and had the most factories.

The Song Family Road Factory was Song Herbal Tea's largest factory in Jiangbei.

At this moment…

Song Wenming, Song Jiaxin, Song Yichen, and the others were all staring at the R department in the distance.

A moment later, several cups of dark brown herbal tea appeared in front of them.

Song Wenming, Song Yichen, Song Jiaxin, and the others all picked up the herbal tea and took a sip.

"Yichen, what do you think of the improved No. 5?" Song Wenming asked after a while.

Song Yichen thought about it for a moment before saying, "The taste is slightly different, but it's already very close."

Song Wenming nodded in agreement.

However, there was no joy on his face.

The difference was very small, but there was still a difference.

They had launched similar new products before, but all of them ended in failure without exception.

Would the improved version No. 5 be different?

Song Wenming did not know.

At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside.

A staff member brought Lin Fan over.

"Grandpa Song, Uncle Song, Jiaxin, hello," Lin Fan took the initiative to greet everyone.

Lin Fan was naturally familiar with Song Jiaxin. 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶

As for Song Wenming and Song Yichen, they had met once on Song Jiaxin's birthday.

Lin Fan and Song Yichen had only met briefly. He had even played chess with Song Wenming before.

"Lin Fan, why are you here?" Song Jiaxin asked.

"Of course, you can," Song Jiaxin said.

Lin Fan did not stand on ceremony as he placed the herbal tea by his nose and sniffed. Then, he slowly poured it into his mouth. "The taste is not sweet enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up at the various materials in the research and development room in front of him. He said, "I also know a recipe for herbal tea. How about I make some for you to try?"

Song Wenming understood that Lin Fan was trying to help him.

He did not think that Lin Fan would have any good formulas.

After all, the Song family was definitely at the forefront of the research on herbal tea.

"Thank you, Brother Lin," Song Wenming said. "Do you need me to ask my master to help you make it?"

Lin Fan said, "I'll do it myself."

Song Wenming was slightly surprised.

Him?

He also knew how to make herbal tea?

Song Wenming nodded after a while.

Lin Fan walked into the R department under everyone's gaze.

He glanced at the materials and equipment at the scene.

In an instant, the effects of these materials and the usage of the equipment were like scenes from a movie, rippling in Lin Fan's mind.

[Skill: Eyes of True Sight!]

Then, Lin Fan's hands flew like the wind as he boiled tea, mixed tea, and dried tea…

His movements did not stop at all, as if this was the kitchen he cooked in every day and not the factory he came to for the first time.

This scene stunned Song Wenming and Song Yichen.

Song Jiaxin's beautiful eyes lit up.

After a while, a strong fragrance of tea wafted over.

A moment later, several cups of herbal tea appeared in front of Song Wenming, Song Yichen, and Song Jiaxin.

Lin Fan said, "Try it."

Only then did Song Wenming and Song Yichen react.

They looked at each other and picked up the teacup with Song Jiaxin.

Gulp!

The herbal tea entered their mouths.

It was clear-tasting!

Awesome!

At this moment, it was as if they had suddenly arrived in a green forest from a desert. A gentle breeze was blowing in their ears, and a stream was flowing in front of them…

It was extremely relaxed and enjoyable!

"Delicious!"

Unknowingly, the three of them had finished their herbal tea.

When they opened their eyes, their gazes landed on Lin Fan.

Surprising!

Unbelievable!

This was top-grade herbal tea!

This was definitely… a top-grade herbal tea that was a hundred times better than Wang Hu's patent!

Song Wenming and Song Yichen knew that Lin Fan was a math genius who had solved many math problems. At the same time, he was also an outstanding financial genius who had earned 400% of the profits in just three days!

However, they had never thought that Lin Fan would actually have the recipe for a top-grade herbal tea!

"How does it taste?" asked Lin Fan.

Song Wenming blurted out, "Very good!"

Lin Fan had expected this outcome.

After all, how could the system produce an inferior product?

Lin Fan nodded. "That's good… This is the specific recipe and steps of the herbal tea."

As he spoke, he took out a folded piece of paper.

Such a precious herbal tea recipe was directly taken out?

It was not an exaggeration to say that this was a priceless formula!

As long as this formula was used to produce herbal tea, there would be no other herbal tea in the world that could compare to it.

Song Wenming and Song Yichen firmly believed in this!

"This… Little Brother Lin, this is too precious," Song Wenming said with a trembling voice.

Lin Fan said casually, "Take it. If you leave it with me, it's just a waste. Besides… You're Jiaxin's family."

Song Wenming looked at Lin Fan and then at Song Jiaxin. He nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll take it. However, this formula is too important. I definitely can't take it for free! After all, even blood brothers have to settle scores!

"All these years, in order to expand Song Herbal Tea, we raised funds and diluted 20% of our shares. Now, we still have 80% of our shares!

"I'll get someone to transfer 40% of the shares to you now."

Lin Fan did not really care about the shares. He said calmly, "As you wish."

Then, Song Wenming personally made a herbal tea according to the recipe. After tasting it, his turbid eyes flickered with a faint light.

He knew that Song Herbal Tea could be saved!

Not only could it be saved, it could even far surpass the past.

Lin Fan did not stay in the factory for long. After chatting for a while, he said goodbye.

Song Jiaxin said that she wanted to send Lin Fan off.

The two of them walked around the vast factory area of Song Herbal Tea. Their slender shadows swayed under the light and touched each other.

For some reason, Song Jiaxin suddenly recalled the scene of Lin Fan solving math problems, racing, singing, and making herbal tea.

These scenes seemed to be like their shadows, constantly shaking.

Gradually, Song Jiaxin's heart began to beat faster, and her fair face revealed a blush under the moonlight.

[Ding! Charming Aura triggered, unforgettable memory!]

Suddenly, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

Lin Fan was stunned.

While she was in a daze, Song Jiaxin suddenly stood on her tiptoes and came over.

o(ε*)

(*3)(ε*)

They were warm and moist.

385 Hot Rush; Free Money!

The next day, the sky was bright.

Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. He looked at Song Jiaxin, who was lying beside him like a cat. There was a bright red spot on the white bed. He could not help but smile.

Song Jiaxin seemed to have felt his gaze and let out a nasal sound before slowly opening her eyes.

Their eyes met.

Song Jiaxin, who was cold in front of her classmates and domineering in front of her friends…

At this moment, she was like a tender young lady. Her entire pretty face was blushing, and she could not help but burrow under the blanket.

Lin Fan smiled. "You must be tired from last night. I'll order some food to replenish your strength."

When Song Jiaxin heard this, her pretty face turned even redder.

However, she was indeed a little hungry. She let out a soft hum.

Lin Fan got up from his bed and picked up his phone.

A text message appeared on the screen.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,598,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Lin Fan immediately marked it as read. Then, he called the Michelin two-star restaurant and asked them to send two sets of breakfast over.

After washing up, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,000,000 yuan.]

Lin Fan chose to ignore this.

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

Two beautiful bamboo baskets were sent in.

It was the breakfast that Lin Fan had just ordered.

At this moment, Song Jiaxin slowly walked out after washing up.

"Are you alright?" Lin Fan asked.

Song Jiaxin naturally understood what Lin Fan was referring to. She blushed and nodded her head.

"Alright." Song Jiaxin replied.

It had to be said that the taste of the food from a two-star Michelin restaurant was really good.

Stewed sea coconut with coconut gum, black golden orchid abalone, Alaskan crab meat…

The ingredients of each dish were very fresh, tender, and delicious.

Even though the two sets of breakfasts only cost a total of 32,900 yuan, Lin Fan and Song Jiaxin were very satisfied.

"I'm full. Do you want to rest for a while?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.

After Song Jiaxin heard this, her pretty face blushed again.

That was because Lin Fan had said something similar last night.

Song Jiaxin nodded gently, letting out a soft hum.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

It had to be said that the Song family's ability was truly astonishing.

In just two days, the new batch of Song Herbal Tea was produced.

As soon as the herbal tea appeared, it immediately triggered a hot rush to buy it.

There were even cases of people drinking so much herbal tea that the supply of herbal tea was insufficient.

Coke? Pepsi? They were all forgotten!

Orders that far exceeded numbers of the past kept flying to Song Herbal Tea's headquarters.

The number of goods shipped in a day was even more than the previous month!

It was simply terrifying!

As for King Herbal Tea, which sales had only reached one-tenth of Song Herbal Tea's… No one was interested in it anymore.

For this reason, Wang Hu, the owner of King Herbal Tea, even called Song Wenming to ask if he wanted to buy out the herbal tea formula patent.

However, Song Wenming already had the recipe for Lin Fan's herbal tea. How could he want Wang Hu's recipe?

Future Groupchat.

Sun Luguo: [As expected of Sister Jiaxin's family. In such a short period of time, they solved the crisis!]

Duan Qian: [Yes! It's too amazing! I specially bought a bottle of it today. It tastes so good!]

Tan Shengyu: [It's not just great. I'll feel uncomfortable if I don't drink Song Herbal Tea!]

Liu Yuhang: [Shengyu's words are exactly what I want to say.]

Song Jiaxin: [Actually, this is all thanks to Lin Fan. If it wasn't for Lin Fan, our Song family would have been in danger.]

Sun Luguo: [Sister Jiaxin, you mean…]

Song Jiaxin: [Yes, Lin Fan gave me the herbal tea recipe.]

Zhang Bin: [Brother Lin Fan is awesome!]

Tan Shengyu: [No wonder when I mentioned Song Herbal Tea's plight that day, Brother Lin Fan left immediately. It turns out he was preparing the herbal tea recipe for Sister Jiaxin.]

Liu Yuhang: [Brother Lin Fan knows finance, he can sing, and he can make medicine… Now, he can even make herbal tea. Brother Lin Fan is too awesome!]

Lin Fan did not care about the changes in the herbal tea market or the Future Groupchat.

At this moment, he was walking slowly in Jiangbei University, looking extremely relaxed.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang.

Lin Fan looked at the caller ID. It was a call from President Ma.

Without any hesitation, he pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Lin, how have you been?" President Ma laughed heartily.

In the beginning, Lin Fan only owned 5% of Little Tanuki Group's shares.

At that time, President Ma still treated Lin Fan as an equal.

Gradually, Lin Fan's shares increased.

Now, it had reached a terrifying 20%.

Hence, President Ma inadvertently tried to curry favor with Lin Fan.

Lin Fan said, "Not bad! Why did you call?"

"I haven't contacted you in a long time. I miss you very much!" President Ma laughed.

"Is that so?" Lin Fan said calmly.

President Ma seemed to have heard the impatience in Lin Fan's tone.

"Of course, there are some serious matters. Our Little Tanuki Group has tabulated last year's revenue, profits, and dividends.

"The total income is 200 billion, and the profit is 60 billion. Last year, you owned 5% of the shares. After deducting taxes, you can get 2.4 billion yuan.

"I've already sent the financial statement to your email. You can check it. If there's no problem, should I ask the finance department to transfer the money to your account directly?"

2.4 billion yuan in dividends?

Not bad!

When Lin Fan was on the phone, his phone vibrated slightly.

An email popped up.

Without waiting for Lin Fan to check, a message popped up on his super smart watch. The report was correct.

Seeing this…

Lin Fan said, "Alright, just get the finance department to transfer the money over."

President Ma was slightly stunned.

Directly transfer over?

This involved 2.4 billion yuan!

Was he not going to check?

However, President Ma thought about it and realized that Lin Fan now owned 20% of the shares of Little Tanuki Group.

In addition, he also owned 20% of Penguin Group's shares, as well as the shares of many other companies.

2.4 billion was definitely a huge sum of money in the eyes of others.

However, in Lin Fan's eyes, it was nothing.

In addition, in the eyes of ordinary people, Little Tanuki's financial report was a very confidential matter.

To Lin Fan who had such wealth, perhaps it was not a secret at all?

After a while, President Ma said, "Okay, I'll get the finance department to send it over later."

Lin Fan did not like to talk to middle-aged people like President Ma.

However, President Ma was here to give him money this time.

Lin Fan was patient and chatted for a while before hanging up.

386 Full Harvest; Mission!

Many people thought that the company's dividends were distributed at the end of the year.

They just needed to distribute the sales and profits according to the ratio. It was very simple.

However, in reality, that was not the case.

This was a very complicated and tedious process.

This was especially true for large companies like Little Tanuki Group.

Generally speaking, the settlement could only be completed in the first quarter of the following year.

Not long after Lin Fan hung up, his phone rang again.

This time, it was the other President Ma.

"Hello, Mr. Lin," President Ma said in a gentle voice.

"President Ma, what's up?" Lin Fan said.

"Our finance department has already calculated the revenue, profits, and dividends of the previous year. The total revenue is 450 billion, and the profit is 150 billion… Mr. Lin, you owned 5% of the company's shares last year. After tax, you can get six billion.

"I've sent the detailed financial statements to your email. You can take a look."

President Da Ma always liked to beat about the bush, but President Xiao Ma was more direct.

As soon as President Ma finished speaking, an email popped up on Lin Fan's phone.

Then, a message popped up on Lin Fan's super smart watch. The report was correct.

Lin Fan said, "Okay, just get the finance department to transfer the money to my account."

President Ma was slightly stunned.

He quickly thought of something and replied, "Alright."

Not long after, Lin Fan's handphone vibrated.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 2,400,000,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 6,000,000,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Even Lin Fan could not help but smile when he saw these two numbers.

At this moment, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

Seeing this…

The smile on Lin Fan's face grew wider.

He had just received a few billion yuan, and now he had received five golden packets.

This was simply a joyous occasion.

He found a place with no one around and muttered, "Five golden packets. Let's see what I can get.

"Open them!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received five million yuan.

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received a Constitution Enhancement Potion.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received three million yuan.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained 20% of Du Niang's shares.]

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received four million yuan.]

Lin Fan had already used Constitution Enhancement Potions twice, and the effects were pretty good.

Last time, he just jumped lightly and almost hit the roof.

In the past, Du Niang, Penguin, and Little Tanuki were known as the three giants of Hua Nation's internet industry.

Later on, Alphabet rose up and replaced Du Niang's position.

However, Du Niang's strength could not be underestimated.

20% of Du Niang's shares was not bad!

As for the three million, four million, and five million, Lin Fan chose to ignore them all.

When Lin Fan raised his head, a bottle of transparent liquid appeared in front of him.

This… It was the Constitution Enhancement Potion.

Lin Fan did not hesitate and poured the potion into his mouth.

Gulp!

Lin Fan felt his body warm up, and he was filled with energy. He had the urge to jump on the spot.

However, Lin Fan endured it.

That was because the last time he jumped lightly at the Coiling Dragon Villa, he already went up five meters.

Now that he had drunk another bottle of Constitution Enhancement Potion, if he were to jump here in school and be seen by others…

Something big would definitely happen.

Lin Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart and strolled into the classroom.

Time always flew by in class.

With just two crisp ringing sounds, the morning class ended.

The long line in the cafeteria was extremely lively.

After a hearty meal, Lin Fan's phone rang again.

This time, it was a call from Ran Fei, the president of Dahua Group.

"Hello, Mr. Lin." Ran Fei's slightly dull voice came from the phone.

Lin Fan obtained a few billion yuan today and five golden packets. He was in a good mood and replied, "Hello, President Ran."

"Mr. Lin, it sounds like you're in a good mood," Ran Fei said.

Lin Fan said, "Yeah, I gained something today."

"Congratulations, Mr. Lin," Ran Fei said.

After chatting for a while, Lin Fan asked, "By the way, what's the matter?"

"The companies that signed the super battery contract with Dahua Group have already transferred the money," Ran Fei said. "It's a total of 120 million yuan.

"According to the original 50-50 split, I can now get the finance department to transfer 60 million yuan to you."

When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but rub his nose.

His luck today seemed to be pretty good.

First, it was Little Tanuki Group, then it was Penguin Group…

Now, Da Hua Group was also giving him money.

Ran Fei saw that there was no sound on the phone and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Originally, I expected you to earn at least 300 million in the first quarter.

"60 million yuan… is too little.

"However, there's nothing we can do about it. The Foreign Chip Alliance has issued a ban on our Dahua cell phones and even all cell phones that use super batteries.

"They said that our super battery is a safety hazard, so we must report all the data to the Foreign Chip Alliance. Otherwise, it will be banned from being sold in all the Foreign Chip Alliance locations.

"Even if our super battery doesn't do business with the Foreign Chip Alliance, we won't have such a small amount of money in a quarter. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟el.c𝚘𝚖

"However, not long ago, the Foreign Chip Alliance issued a statement. In order to reduce the risk, before we submit the specific data of the super battery, the Foreign Chip Alliance will no longer provide chips to mobile phone companies that use the super battery."

When Ran Fei said this, his tone clearly became depressed and tired.

During this period of time, he had been busy with this matter.

He thought of many ways to solve it, such as producing experiments, proof, and other methods.

However, the Foreign Chip Alliance did not seem to care at all. They just kept emphasizing safety matters.

Could the detailed data be handed over to the Foreign Chip Alliance?

Would that not be handing over the technology they had mastered?

This was absolutely not allowed!

However, facing the Foreign Chip Alliance's blockade, Ran Fei felt helpless.

It could be said that all the chips in the world were in the hands of the Foreign Chip Alliance.

If the super battery was rice, then the Foreign Chip Alliance was the heart!

If one did not eat rice, one could have steamed buns and noodles, and one could still live.

Without a heart, one would be completely dead!

When Lin Fan heard this, his good mood vanished instantly.

He did not care about the 300 million share at all.

One had to know…

Lin Fan had just received a total of over eight billion in dividends!

However, Lin Fan was extremely displeased with the Foreign Chip Alliance's actions.

Just as he was about to speak, a clear notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Mission: Watch a computer experiment. Read through Physics of Semi-Conductor, Microelectronic Devices, Computer Principles, Basics of Simulation Technology, and Chip Manufacturing. Reward: One carbon-based photolithographic machine, as well as the manufacturing principle of the carbon-based photolithographic machine and Computer Teaching Experience.]

387 As expected of Brother Lin Fan; Quantum Reading?

When Lin Fan heard this, his expression changed slightly.

Even though he did not know much about the Foreign Chip Alliance, he knew that the photolithographic machine was the key to making chips.

It was the silicon-based chip that was used in the world today.

However, carbon-based chips were still in a concept state.

Dahua Group was under the sanction of the Foreign Chip Alliance… This mission came at the right time!

Thus, Lin Fan said, "Just transfer 60 million to my account. As for the chip, I'll think of a way."

After that, Lin Fan hung up the phone.

Dahua's chairman, Ran Fei, held his phone and was at a loss.

He would think of a way?

Think of what?

Lin Fan naturally did not know about Ran Fei's doubts. He said to Song Yi and the others, "I'm going to the library. You guys go back to the dormitory first."

"I'll go with you," Ma Zhong said.

Ma Zhong had always been a person who loved to learn. Ever since Lin Fan cured his father's illness, Ma Zhong seemed to have been injected with some sort of potion.

He listened attentively in class, and whenever he was free, he would study or run to the library.

Lin Fan nodded. "Alright."

As it turned out…

There was not only Song Yi and Zheng Jinbao, who liked wasting their time in university.

There were also many hardworking students.

Even though it was the afternoon break, the library was still packed with people.

Just as Ma Zhong was about to speak, a quiet and voluptuous woman wearing black-rimmed glasses slowly walked over.

"You're here?" The woman smiled.

This smile was like a cool breeze that blew across his face. Ma Zhong was completely stunned.

It was Lu Ling, whom Lin Fan had met several times in the library.

Lin Fan nodded. "Yeah."

"What books are you looking for this time?" Lu Ling asked.

"Physics of Semi-Conductor, Microelectronic Devices, Computer Principles, Basics of Simulation Technology, and Chip Manufacturing," Lin Fan said.

"They're in front. I'll go over and help you find them."

"Alright," said Lin Fan.

Then, the two of them walked forward quickly.

Only Ma Zhong was left standing there in a daze.

After a while, he gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely, "As expected of Brother Lin Fan!"

Lu Ling was very familiar with the entire library. She walked past the math bookshelf and the physics bookshelf…

Soon, she arrived at the computer bookshelf and quickly found all five books, including Computer Principles and Microelectronic Devices.

Lu Ling smiled and said, "I still have a seat over there. Do you want to go over and sit?"

"Sure," Lin Fan said.

Thus, the two of them went to their usual seats and sat down.

Ma Zhong, who was standing not far away, looked at the two of them sitting together. They looked extremely intimate. He gave them a thumbs up and praised, "As expected of Brother Lin Fan!"

Lin Fan did not care about Ma Zhong's praise.

He opened Physics of Semi-Conductors and flipped through it.

The crisp sound of pages being flipped echoed in the room.

He finished reading the hundreds of pages in just three minutes.

Then, it was Microelectronic Devices and Computer Principles…

Lu Ling had seen this kind of situation many times, so she was used to it.

Therefore, there was not much reaction.

In Ma Zhong's eyes, Lin Fan was flipping through the books randomly while Lu Ling was staring at him like a fangirl.

Ma Zhong could not help but give him a thumbs up and praise, "As expected of Brother Fan!"

In just ten minutes, he had finished reading all five books.

Lin Fan turned his attention to the system mission.

[Mission: Watch a computer experiment (0/1); Read through Physics of Semi-Conductor, Microelectronic Devices, Computer Principles, Basics of Simulation Technology, and Chip Manufacturing (5/5). Reward: Obtain one carbon-based photolithographic machine, as well as the manufacturing principle of the carbon-based photolithographic machine and Computer Teaching Experience.]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan's lips curled up. He was halfway through the mission and was about to complete it completely.

Lu Ling saw that Lin Fan had stopped reading and could not help but ask, "Are you done?"

Lin Fan nodded.

Lu Ling looked at her watch and said, "5 books in 13 minutes. Could this be what the news said…That quantum reading thing?"

Lin Fan had seen this news before.

It was said that someone had mastered a special reading method called quantum reading.

It was said that one could read 100,000 words in a minute.

For this reason, that person even opened a training class to teach quantum reading.

However, Lin Fan knew that this was a new type of scam.

This was because there was no way in this world to obtain such an ability through training.

Of course, even if there was, that so-called quantum reading could not compare to Lin Fan's scanning ability.

Quantum reading could only read the content, but scanning could help one memorize the content.

Lin Fan smiled and shook his head. "That's a lie."

"Alright then," Lu Ling said helplessly.

She seemed to be interested in this reading method.

It was no wonder.

A certain someone often flipped through books in front of her.

If it was just for fun, then so be it.

However, every time he flipped through the books, he would complete something that would shock the world.

This made people suspicious.

Something that shocked the world?

Lu Ling seemed to have thought of something and asked, "The books you're reading this time are all related to the chip. Are you trying to invent a chip?"

Lin Fan nodded. "Yeah."

There was no need to hide this matter.

Very soon, he would complete the mission.

He would obtain the photolithographic machine and proceed to produce chips.

"Huh?"

Lu Ling did not expect Lin Fan to really nod.

For a moment, she did not know how to answer.

As everyone knew, the chip was the core and also the most complex electronic component.

All the chips were firmly controlled by the Foreign Chip Alliance.

Many countries, including Hua Nation, had been working hard for decades, but they still had not made much progress.

One could imagine how difficult it was.

Now, Lin Fan said that he wanted to invent a chip?

Lin Fan did not pay attention to the dazed Lu Lin.

He looked at the questions on the table and asked, "You're having problems again?"

Again?

Why again?

Alright then.

Every time Lin Fan came to read, he would help her answer the questions.

"Yes." Lu Ling blushed.

Lin Fan did not even think about it and started writing.

Soon, lines of extremely detailed calculations appeared in the notebook.

After a while, Lin Fan said, "Yes, that's it. You should be able to understand, right?"

388 Welcome; I'll Be Leaving First!

Lu Ling looked down for a while and said, "I understand."

Lin Fan nodded. "Alright, I'll be leaving first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he strode out.

This scene…

Ma Zhong saw everything.

In his opinion, Lin Fan and Lu Ling were almost stuck together to discuss the problem.

It turned out that having good grades and good looks really allowed one to do whatever one wanted!

Ma Zhong gave him a thumbs up again and said, "As expected of Brother Lin Fan!"

Lin Fan did not care about Ma Zhong's reaction.

After he walked out of the library, he walked straight to the No. 1 Training Building.

Back then, when he participated in the Mathematical Modeling Competition, Lin Fan often went to the No. 1 Training Building.

He knew that most of the computer-related experiments were conducted here.

"Huh? Lin Fan!" A middle-aged man wearing silver-rimmed glasses said in surprise.

"And you are?" Lin Fan asked.

"Oh, I'm Professor Wang Jun from the School of Computer Science," the middle-aged man said.

Now, all the teachers and professors at Jiangbei University who had a bit of status remembered Lin Fan.

After all, he had brought too much honor to Jiangbei University.

In other words, Jiangbei University was proud of him!

Lin Fan's name had been around for the longest time in the mathematics and computer science departments.

This was because the first honor Lin Fan received was the Higher Education Cup from the mathematical modeling competition.

The award was from the collaboration between mathematics and computer science.

Lin Fan's expression changed. "So, it's Professor Wang. Hello, Professor Wang."

Then, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "Professor Chen Haiyang and I applied for a chip research project last year. It's rare for you to come to the No. 1 Training Building. Do you want to go to the laboratory to take a look? It's just ahead."

What did it mean by someone giving one a pillow when one was sleepy?

This was it!

Lin Fan nodded. "Alright."

When Wang Jun heard this, his entire face immediately turned into a ball of laughter.

One had to know…

There had always been a rumor at Jiangbei University.

If one wanted to solve a problem, then one had to make Lin Fan interested.

If Lin Fan saw his experiment and was interested in the chip…

When Wang Jun thought of this, the smile on his face widened.

He directly pushed open the laboratory in the middle.

Chen Haiyang and the two graduate students were facing the computer and typing quickly on the keyboard.

The other three Ph.D. students were carefully assembling the components on a large machine.

They were so focused that when Wang Jun and Lin Fan walked in, no one bothered with them.

Wang Jun could not help but clear his throat and say, "Professor Chen Haiyang, everyone, please stop what you're doing."

As Wang Jun's voice was too loud, it suddenly disturbed the three Ph.D. students who were doing fine work. Cracks appeared on the small parts that had just been completed.

Chen Haiyang frowned and said, "Professor Wang, what's the matter?"

Wang Jun also noticed that he had disturbed the experiment and cast an apologetic gaze at the few of them.

Then, he said, "Lin Fan has come to visit our laboratory. Please welcome him!"

Lin Fan!

After this name was uttered in the laboratory, Chen Haiyang, the Ph.D. students, and graduate students… All their expressions turned solemn.

At this moment, they forgot that their experiment had been interrupted.

All of their gazes were focused on Lin Fan.

Clearly, they all knew Lin Fan and had heard some rumors about him.

Now, Lin Fan had come to their laboratory.

Did it mean… He had started researching the chip?

Everyone's hearts were burning.

Chen Haiyang came up to him personally and extended his hand. "Hello, Lin Fan."

"You must be Professor Chen, right? Hello," Lin Fan said.

"How could I dare to call myself a professor in front of you?" Chen Haiyang laughed. "Just call me Old Chen."

Lin Fan coughed lightly and said, "I'll just call you Professor Chen."

Chen Haiyang did not mind. "Lin Fan, are you interested in the chip?"

When he said this, his eyes were filled with anticipation.

Wang Jun, as well as the graduate students and Ph.D. students nearby, pricked up their ears.

Lin Fan said, "I'm a little interested. If it's convenient for you and Professor Wang, can you do an experiment for me to see?"

Chen Haiyang and Wang Jun said in unison, "Of course!"

Lin Fan was really interested!

Did this mean that the experiment was going to make great progress?

"Chen Haiyang said excitedly, "Everyone, cheer up and do our experiment from the beginning to the end!"

"Yes, Sir!" The graduate students and Ph.D. students said in unison.

Immediately, Chen Haiyang, Wang Jun, the graduate students, and the Ph.D. students carefully assembled the components and quickly moved their hands on the keyboard.

Very soon, a very complicated composition of the components appeared on the computer screen.

About an hour later, everyone stopped what they were doing.

The experiment was over!

Wang Jun said in an extremely expectant tone, "Lin Fan, what do you think? What areas needed to be changed?"

Lin Fan did not reply immediately.

This was because his thoughts were occupied by the notification in his mind.

[Ding! Mission completed—Watch a computer experiment (1/1). Read Physics of Semi-Conductor, Microelectronic Devices, Computer Principles, Basics of Simulation Technology, and Chip Manufacturing (5/5). Reward: Obtain one carbon-based photolithographic machine, as well as the manufacturing principle of the carbon-based photolithographic machine and Computer Teaching Experience.]

Instantly, Lin Fan's mind was filled with a lot of computer-related knowledge, as well as the complex manufacturing principles for a carbon-based photolithographic machine.]

[Carbon-based photolithographic machine: Do you wish to extract it?]

After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "I have something to do now, so I'll leave first…"

After he finished speaking, he did not stop at all and turned to walk out.

If he had not obtained the manufacturing principles of the carbon-based photolithographic machine, it would have been fine.

After obtaining them, Lin Fan's interest in the carbon-based photolithographic machine grew.

He wanted to create a carbon-based chip as soon as possible and test its effects.

It was like a child suddenly getting a new toy.

Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang looked at Lin Fan's back and opened their mouths.

In the end, they could only sigh helplessly.

They understood that there was no hope of relying on Lin Fan to make progress.

Of course, they were already mentally prepared for such a situation.

After all, no one was perfect. 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐨𝗿𝗴

Lin Fan had already done deep research in mathematics, physics, and biology. Furthermore, he had obtained great achievements.

If he also did deep research in the field of computers and achieved great achievements…

It would be unrealistic.

389 Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machine; Thesis!

Lin Fan did not care about what Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang were thinking.

He left the training building and went straight to the parking lot. He got into the Cullinan, stepped on the accelerator, and sped off into the distance.

About 20 minutes later, he arrived at Coiling Dragon Villa.

[Carbon-based photolithographic machine: Do you wish to extract it?]

"Yes!"

In the next moment, a tall and complicated machine appeared out of thin air in the spacious living room.

This… was the carbon-based photolithographic machine.

Even though this was the first time Lin Fan had seen this machine with his own eyes, he knew the structure, principle, and operation of the machine very well.

Lin Fan connected the power source and fiddled with a few switches and buttons.

Suddenly, the carbon-based photolithographic machine, which was originally motionless, let out a low roar.

A moment later, a carbon-based chip that was smaller than a thumb appeared in front of him.

Lin Fan sized it up curiously and put it in his spare phone.

All the programs were opened in an instant, and the entire process was smooth as silk.

"Lil White, help me apply for a patent for this carbon-based photolithographic machine and carbon-based chip," Lin Fan said.

Even though Lin Fan had an endless amount of wealth now, he was also very clear that carbon-based photolithographic machines and carbon-based chips were very precious and important.

He had to apply for a patent as soon as possible.

"Alright, Master," Lil White said.

At the same time, it emitted an infrared ray and scanned the carbon-based photolithographic machine.

"Master, the global patent has been successfully registered."

Then, electronic patent documents appeared on the screen of the super smart watch.

Seeing this…

Lin Fan's face revealed a relaxed smile. 𝓫𝓮𝒹𝓷ℴ𝓿ℯ𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶

He muttered, "I read five books and watched an experiment to get these… Not bad!"

Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang helped him this time. Should he write a thesis?

However, it seemed very troublesome.

Lin Fan frowned.

Even though he had Computer Teaching Experience and mastered the manufacturing principles of the carbon-based photolithographic machine, it was also very troublesome for him to write a thesis.

Then, Lin Fan's attention fell on the super smart watch. His expression changed slightly as he called out, "Lil White."

"I'm here, Master!" Lil White said.

"Can you write an original thesis on this carbon-based photolithographic machine?" Lin Fan asked.

"Sure," replied Lil White.

Two minutes later, Lin Fan's phone vibrated.

A complicated and well-organized thesis popped out of Lin Fan's mailbox.

It really could!

At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly thought of the thesis he had written in the past.

If he had asked Lil White earlier, he would not have been so tired in the past!

Lin Fan sighed and said, "Lil White, write my name and Jiangbei University on the position of the first author. Write Chen Haiyang and Wang Jun as the second author. Then, send this paper to… Science's editorial department."

After all, the carbon-based photolithographic was a technological product, and there was nothing wrong with sending it to Science.

After a pause, Lin Fan continued, "Then, just like before, try your best to conduct the review in the shortest amount of time."

"Alright, Master," said Lil White.

It was midnight in America.

Science's editor, Howard Theus, was lying comfortably in bed, sleeping.

During this period of time, his life was very good.

Not long ago, Howard Theus reviewed the paper on super battery, which further improved the authoritative rating of Science in the journal category.

Howard was praised by the managing editor and received a handsome bonus.

In addition, the managing editor also vaguely expressed his intention to give him a promotion.

This made his colleagues envious.

At this moment, the phone on Howard's bedside suddenly rang.

Immediately after, the television turned on automatically and a loud sound came from the sound system.

Howard woke up from his sleep.

If an ordinary person saw this scene, their hearts would definitely palpitate endlessly.

However, Howard seemed to have thought of something, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

He first turned off the television and then rushed to the laptop.

Sure enough, an email popped up in his mailbox—Principle and Usage of a Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machine!

Howard was stunned for a moment before he muttered, "The principle and usage of a carbon-based photolithographic machine? Could this be a spam email from someone?"

It was no wonder that he would be like this.

This was because there were still too many unanswered questions about carbon-based photolithographic machines.

Principle and usage?

Was this a joke?

Despite saying that, Howard still opened the email.

He skimmed through ten lines, and finally, his eyes fell on the first author—Lin Fan from Jiangbei University.

"It's him!"

Howard's pupils constricted.

If it were someone else, it might really be just a piece of junk mail.

However, this was Lin Fan!

He was the genius who invented the super battery, developed the human islet recovery medicine, and solved several math problems!

In that case, it was definitely not a spam email.

Perhaps, he had really made a major breakthrough in carbon-based photolithographic machines.

He might have even invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine!

Thinking of this, Howard's heart began to beat wildly.

He could not wait to read the thesis from beginning to end.

After reading it, he became even more excited.

Howard ignored the fact that it was still early in the morning and quickly picked up his phone to call the managing editor.

At this moment, the editor-in-chief of Science was in a state of sweet dreams when the piercing sound of a phone ringing woke him up.

He could not help but get angry. When he saw that the caller ID was Howard Theus, he said angrily, "Howard Theus, you're getting more and more outrageous! You're even calling me in the middle of the night! Do you still want a promotion? F*ck!"

The managing editor slowly pressed the answer button with anger.

"Chief Editor, Lin Fan from Jiangbei University has sent over a new thesis. It's a carbon-based photolithographic machine. It's called 'The Principle and Usage of a Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machine'!" As soon as the call connected, Howard's excited voice came from the other end.

"What?"

Initially, the managing editor was still a little sleepy, but when he heard this voice, he immediately perked up.

He said excitedly, "Good, good! Howard Theus, you did well! I'll promote you tomorrow!

"Now, hurry up and send the thesis to my email."

Hearing this, Howard Theus was so happy that he cried out excitedly, "Alright, Chief Editor!"

390 Invent?

That night, many experts and professors in the fields of computers, chips, and photolithographic machines arrived at Stan University.

They gathered together, their fingers jumping rapidly on the keyboard as they occasionally let out a sigh of admiration.

"Heavens!"

"This data is too amazing!"

"A carbon-based photolithographic machine!"

"Unbelievable!"

Lin Fan did not care about any of this at all.

He sat on the soft sofa and played with his phone leisurely. The sky was completely dark.

Lin Fan dialed the number of Ran Fei, the chairman of Dahua Group.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. What's the matter?"

Ran Fei's tired voice came from the other end of the line.

Today, he had been busy the whole day because of the chip.

However, there was still no progress.

He felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Lin Fan seemed to have heard Ran Fei's exhaustion and said, "Are you still worried about the chip?"

"Yes." Ran Fei sighed.

"Come to Jiangbei tomorrow," Lin Fan said. "I want to discuss the chip with you."

"Huh?" Ran Fei was stunned.

Discuss the chip?

What chip?

Did Lin Fan not study mathematics and batteries?

Lin Fan continued, "Then it's settled. It's getting late. Rest early."

Ran Fei was the only one left holding his phone with a blank look on his face.

Lin Fan played with his phone for a while more, then turned it to silent mode and fell into a deep sleep.

Jingbei.

The director of the Institute of Science, Feng Zhixiang, was almost 50 years old.

However, he continued to study every day.

At this moment, he was seriously flipping through the latest scientific research journals.

At this moment, the phone in Feng Zhixiang's pocket rang.

Feng Zhixiang looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Academician Yang Lichen.

He could not help but wonder, 'Didn't Academician Yang go to the US to attend a computer science report? Why is he calling me so late?'

Feng Zhixiang slowly pressed the answer button.

"Director Feng, there's been progress in carbon-based photolithographic machines! They might even have been invented!" As soon as he picked up the phone, Yang Lichen's loud voice rang out.

Feng Zhixiang suddenly stood up and knocked the tea on the table onto the floor.

However, he did not care at all and hurriedly asked, "What? Have carbon-based photolithographic machines made great progress? They might've been invented? Is the news reliable? Who is it? Which country?"

It was no wonder that Feng Zhixiang was so anxious.

One had to know…

The chip had always been the biggest obstacle to Hua Nation's development.

For this, who knew how much manpower and material resources had been invested, but it was not of much use.

This was because silicon-based chips were mainstream in the world today.

Silicon-based chip technology was firmly in the hands of the Foreign Chip Alliance.

It was impossible for Hua Nation to break through.

Therefore, Hua Nation had no choice but to find another way out. After years of research, they found another way—carbon-based chips.

According to the calculations and speculations of many scientists, carbon-based chips were smaller and more powerful than silicon-based chips.

Obviously, carbon-based chips were very high-quality products.

However, the scientists were completely at a loss on how to design and develop it.

Even so, Hua Nation did not give up. They still invested a large amount of resources into the research of carbon-based chips.

Over the years, Hua Nation's research on carbon-based chips had also achieved some results.

However, Yang Lichen had now called to say that great progress had been made in carbon-based photolithographic machines. The machines might have even been invented.

How could Feng Zhixiang not be anxious?

If that was the case, all the investments that Hua Nation had made over the years might have gone down the drain.

"Academician Yang, say something!" Feng Zhixiang said again.

"Director Feng, don't worry." Yang Lichen said. "You should know this person. He's Lin Fan, our Hua Nation's Lin Fan!"

"Lin Fan?"

Feng Zhixiang was slightly stunned. His anxious expression seemed to have been frozen on his face.

After a while, he said excitedly, "Are you sure it's Lin Fan from Hua Nation? Lin Fan from Jiangbei University?"

"Yes!" Yang Lichen said. "I'm sure! He published a thesis titled The Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines on Science.

"Although I haven't seen the specific content yet, all the computer and chip experts have gathered at Stan University to help review and research this thesis.

"From the conversations of those experts, it's not hard to tell that they all agree with the content of The Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines."

He directly told him everything he had seen and heard without any concealment or exaggeration.

It was because Yang Lichen knew very well how important this matter was.

"Good, good, good!" Feng Zhixiang said happily. "This is great! Hahaha!"

Then, Feng Zhixiang seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, "I won't chat with you for now. I have to contact Lin Fan."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Yang Lichen to reply.

Then, Feng Zhixiang quickly dialed Lin Fan's number.

However, the phone rang for dozens of seconds, but no one answered.

Therefore, Feng Zhixiang dialed a few more times.

The result was still the same.

Feng Zhixiang was so anxious that he paced around the room.

"No, I can't stay here like this. I have to go to Jiangbei!"

After saying that, Feng Zhixiang picked up his phone and booked the latest flight to Jiangbei.

Then, he quickly ran outside. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑛𝘦𝘵

On the other hand, the Foreign Chip Alliance.

The president, the vice president of the eastern region, the vice president of the western region, the vice president of the southern region, and the vice president of the northern region were all gathered together. They drank red wine and ate steak with relaxed expressions.

At this moment, the president seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Has Dahua Group decided to provide the specific data of the super battery?"

"Not yet," said the vice president of the eastern region.

The president frowned and asked, "How are Dahua's phones now?"

"This month's shipment volume has dropped by 200% year-on-year. Next month's shipment volume will be even lower," said the vice president of the eastern region.

"Last month, it dropped by 200%. Next month, it'll drop by 400%. And the month after that… Tsk tsk, I don't know just how long can Dahua last."

"No matter how good a cell phone is, it's just a brick without a chip," said the vice president of the southern region. "I think Dahua can only last for half a year at most. It's time to admit defeat…"

After pausing for a moment, the vice president continued, "If they give up on using super batteries, what should we do?"

"What should we do?" The president grinned. "Our Foreign Chip Alliance has always respected human rights and loved peace. How can we sell chips to a company that doesn't even want to provide dangerous battery data?"

Everyone smiled.

At this moment, the president's phone rang urgently.

Chapter 391 Arriving at the Villa; The Performance Is Not Bad!

The president looked at the caller ID and casually picked up the call.

"Hello, Professor Jerry."

In the next moment…

The president suddenly stood up and shouted, "What did you say?"

"The carbon-based photolithographic machine has been invented?

"And it was invented by Lin Fan, who invented the super battery?!"

The president's phone fell to the ground.

Silence!

The entire scene was silent!

Everyone present knew what the invention of the carbon-based photolithographic machine and the fact that the inventor was Lin Fan meant.

Once the carbon-based photolithographic machine appeared, the silicon-based chips that they had mastered would soon be completely eliminated.

The silicon-based chip was their lifeblood, and now it was going to be completely abandoned by the world?

In addition, they had been constantly making things hard for Dahua Group during this period of time.

Lin Fan had given the super battery to Dahua Group. Clearly, they had a deep relationship.

If that were the case, even if they wanted to work with Lin Fan, it would probably be an extravagant hope.

The Foreign Chip Alliance was done for!

The next day, the sky was clear.

Ran Fei did not know what Lin Fan wanted to discuss with him about the chip.

However, he still took a plane to Jiangbei. 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

After all, this was the first time Lin Fan had asked him to go over.

Besides, he could also deal with other matters in Jiangbei, have a change of environment, and change his mood… It was not bad!

After Ran Fei got off the plane, he took out his phone and dialed Lin Fan's number.

At this moment, the sky was bright.

Lin Fan opened his eyes and picked up his phone out of habit. Coincidentally, he received a call.

He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Ran Fei. He immediately pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Lin, I'm already in Jiangbei. Should I go straight to Jiangbei University to look for you?" Ran Fei asked.

Lin Fan thought about it and said, "Come to Coiling Dragon Villa directly."

"Alright," Ran Fei said.

After hanging up, Lin Fan got up from his bed.

After all, Ran Fei would be coming over later, and he could be considered a guest.

He could not possibly continue lying in bed, right?

When Lin Fan woke up and washed up, the director of the Institute of Science, Feng Zhixiang, was standing at the school gate. He was pacing around and looking at his watch. His face was filled with anxiety.

"Director Feng, why don't we wait in the office?" Vice-Chancellor Feng Weijian asked. When Lin Fan comes to school, I'll get him to look for you."

At five or six o'clock today, he suddenly received a call from the security captain.

He said that someone was standing at the school gate early in the morning, saying that he was waiting for someone. Moreover, he said that he knew him.

When Feng Weijian arrived at the school gate, he realized that it was Feng Zhixiang, the director of the Institute of Science.

Feng Zhixiang waved his hand.

Then, he took out his phone and dialed Lin Fan's number.

This time, it was not like before, where it kept ringing but no one picked up.

This time, it only rang twice. Then, Lin Fan's voice sounded.

"Hello?"

The call was connected!

Lin Fan had picked up the call!

Feng Zhixiang said excitedly, "Lin Fan, you finally picked up the phone. Where are you? Is it convenient for me to look for you now?"

"Sure, I'm at the Coiling Dragon Villa," Lin Fan said.

"Alright, I'll be right there!" Feng Zhixiang said excitedly.

After hanging up the phone, Feng Zhixiang quickly ran outside and hailed a taxi. He said, "Coiling Dragon Villa."

The taxi driver stepped on the accelerator, leaving Feng Weijian at the school gate in a daze.

Huh… He left?

Coiling Dragon Villa.

Although Ran Fei had seen a lot of the world,when he walked into the courtyard of the Coiling Dragon Villa, he could not help but be surprised.

There were park-like greenery, castle-like villas, supercars, luxury cars, and even private jets everywhere!

The people who lived here were definitely extraordinary!

Under the guidance of the security guard, Ran Fei pressed the doorbell.

After a while, Lin Fan opened the door.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see." Ran Fei suppressed the surprise in his heart and took the initiative to step forward and extend his hand.

"Yeah, long time no see." Lin Fan stretched out his hand, and the two of them shook hands.

Then, the two of them walked inside together.

Soon, Ran Fei was attracted by the huge carbon-based photolithographic machine in the living room.

"Mr. Lin, what is this?" he asked.

"A carbon-based photolithographic machine," Lin Fan replied casually.

"Oh, a carbon-based…" Ran Fei said.

Before he could finish speaking, his entire body seemed to be stuck. His eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with disbelief.

He turned to ask, "M-Mr. Lin, you just said…What is this?"

Just as Lin Fan was about to reply, the doorbell rang.

Thus, he had no choice but to open the door.

"Lin Fan, I've finally found you. Did you really make a major discovery in carbon-based photolithographic machines?" Feng Zhixiang asked hurriedly.

Lin Fan pointed at the carbon-based photolithographic machine and said, "Over there."

Feng Zhixiang looked in the direction Lin Fan was pointing at and could not help but ask curiously, "What's this?"

"A carbon-based photolithographic machine," Lin Fan said.

When Ran Fei heard Lin Fan's affirmation, his body shook.

Feng Zhixiang could not wait to come to the carbon-based photolithographic machine. He said excitedly, "This… This is a carbon-based photolithographic machine? You invented it?"

Lin Fan nodded. "Yeah."

His tone was so relaxed and indifferent as if he was talking about the weather today.

"How do we do this?" Feng Zhixiang asked hurriedly. "Can we make chips now?"

Lin Fan walked forward and pressed a few buttons.

Soon, a chip the size of a pinky appeared in front of him.

Feng Zhixiang said with a dry throat, "This… This is…"

Ran Fei did not speak.

However, his eyes were fixed on the chip.

"A carbon-based chip," Lin Fan said.

Although Feng Zhixiang and Ran Fei had already realized this answer,when they heard it, their faces were still filled with surprise.

Ran Fei's Dahua Group had been researching carbon-based chips.

Feng Zhixiang represented the Hua Nation government, so there was no need to mention it!

The carbon-based chip that they had been researching for many years had appeared in front of their eyes just like that?

This gave them a feeling that it was not real.

"How's the performance of this carbon-based chip?" Feng Zhixiang hurriedly asked.

Ran Fei also cast a curious look.

That was right.

The carbon-based chip was out, but what was its performance?

After all, a chip was not made for show.

It needed to be powerful enough.

If the performance was very poor, it might not be comparable to silicon-based chips at all.

In that case, it did not mean much.

As for the carbon-based chip data that they knew, it was completely useless.

After all, they had not succeeded in developing it.

Lin Fan said, "The performance is alright. You can try using it in your own phone."

As he spoke, he handed over the carbon-based chip.

Chapter 392 Shocked; Cooperation Completed!

"I'll put it in the chip," Ran Fei quickly said.

Many directors knew how to manage and operate a company.

However, they did not understand the company's technology at all.

Ran Fei was different.

He was originally from a technical background.

After starting the company, he spent a lot of time every day learning the latest technology.

It was because he felt that only by understanding the development of the industry could the company move in the right direction.

Otherwise, it would be easy to make the wrong decision when there was a disagreement within the company.

After a while, Ran Fei connected the chip to his phone.

Feng Zhixiang, who was beside him, had already leaned his head over.

Ran Fei turned on music, videos, and 3A games in a row… Without any hesitation, they all opened in an instant.

Then, he opened the evaluation software, and the points on it kept rising.

100,000!

One million!

Five million!

10 million!

20 million!

30 million!

50 million!

100 million!

At this point, the points slowly stopped.

Ran Fei's eyes widened, and he was completely stunned.

Feng Zhixiang, who was beside him, saw that Ran Fei had not spoken and could not help but ask, "How is it? What's the performance of this chip? Chairman Ran, say something."

Feng Zhixiang also knew Ran Fei.

However, it was obvious that he did not know much about chips.

Ran Fei said, "It's very… very powerful! The latest generation of silicon-based chips used in mobile phones can run about one million.

"And this carbon-based chip has reached 100 million points!"

When he said this, Ran Fei's tone was filled with shock.

"One million, 100 million…" Feng Zhixiang said. "A difference of 100 times!

"Good, good, good! Hahaha! That's great!" Feng Zhixiang shouted excitedly.

In fact, he was so excited that his entire body started to tremble, and tears could be seen at the corners of his eyes.

He was loyal to Hua Nation and knew very well what kind of predicament Hua Nation's chips were facing.

Now, this predicament had been solved!

Then, Feng Zhixiang said, "Lin Fan, can I bring this chip and this photolithographic machine to Jingbei to study?"

"Sure," Lin Fan said. "However, I originally planned to work with Dahua Group on this."

After all, he was working with Dahua Group on super batteries.

After getting along with Ran Fei, he felt that he was a good person.

In addition, Ran Fei contributed to Lin Fan obtaining the carbon-based photolithographic machine and its technology to a certain extent.

Hence, Lin Fan decided to work with him again.

"Dahua Group is a very good technology company. It's a very good choice for you to work with them," said Feng Zhixiang.

"In addition, I'll apply to the higher-ups for all the preferential conditions, including land, taxes, and so on!"

When Ran Fei heard this, he was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Then, Feng Zhixiang took out his phone and made a call.

Not long after…

A large military green plane appeared in the sky and slowly landed in the courtyard of the Coiling Dragon Villa. A huge gust of wind stirred up a cloud of dust.

A few soldiers walked over quickly and stood on both sides of the plane like poles.

"Director Feng, what do you need to transport?" one of the soldiers asked.

"That! Try not to damage it." Feng Zhixiang pointed at the carbon-based photolithographic machine and reminded him.

"Yes, sir!" the soldier replied.

Then, a few soldiers used a jack, a large manual forklift, ropes, and other tools to transport the carbon-based photolithographic machine to the plane.

"Lin Fan…" Feng Zhixiang said.

Lin Fan did not wait for him to finish. He handed over the instruction manual and schematics that he had asked Lil White to prepare. "I won't go over. You can just take this with you."

After all, Lin Fan had just returned from Jingbei.

He did not want to go over again.

That would be too troublesome.

Lin Fan hated trouble.

Feng Zhixiang flipped through it slightly and said excitedly, "Thank you, Lin Fan!"

Lin Fan waved his hand. "It's just a small matter."

After the plane made a sound, the military green plane gradually disappeared into the distance. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Then, Lin Fan's gaze landed on Ran Fei.

"Chairman Ran, did you hear what I just said?"

Ran Fei naturally understood what Lin Fan meant and said, "Our Dahua Group can take out 20% of the shares and give you the sole agency rights for carbon-based chips. At the same time, 50% of the profits from all carbon-based chips will belong to you… What do you think?"

He directly took out 20% of the shares!

There was 50% of the profits from the carbon-based chips too!

It had to be said that Ran Fei was very decisive!

One had to know that Dahua Group was a technology giant with a market value of more than a trillion!

In addition, because Dahua Group was not listed, even if others had money, they would not be able to obtain a large number of shares.

Ran Fei himself only owned 20% of Dahua Group's shares.

This was equivalent to Ran Fei directly taking out half of the shares in exchange for the general distribution rights of the carbon-based chips.

"Sure," Lin Fan said indifferently.

His thoughts were very simple. He did not want to be bothered with anything.

That would be too troublesome.

Ran Fei's face lit up when he heard that.

He believed that the future of carbon-based chips was absolutely vast.

Correspondingly, the future of Dahua Group would also become more brilliant!

Then, Ran Fei made a phone call.

In the afternoon, two men in suits and leather shoes arrived at Coiling Dragon Villa with a thick document.

This… It was the contract that Ran Fei had asked someone to draft.

Ran Fei spent ten minutes reading the contract carefully from beginning to end. Then, he handed it to Lin Fan and said, "Mr. Lin, please take a look."

One page, two pages…

In just ten seconds, Lin Fan had finished flipping through all the contents of the contract. He said, "Alright, let's do it this way."

Ran Fei's lips twitched.

Even though the last time he signed the contract with Lin Fan, Lin Fan had only glanced at it casually…

At that time, it only involved 1.5 billion yuan and 50% of the super battery's profits.

This time, it involved 20% of Dahua Group's shares and 50% of the profits from the carbon-based chips!

Was he not afraid that there would be a problem with the contract if he only read through it casually?

Lin Fan did not care about Ran Fei's thoughts. After all, he had scanning abilities and Professional Law Experience.

With a single glance, he memorized the contents of the entire contract and could easily see if there were any traps in the terms.

Then, Lin Fan picked up the fountain pen and signed his name.

He pushed the contract to Ran Fei and said, "I've signed it."

Only then did Ran Fei react and say, "Ah…" Ah… Alright."

As he spoke, he also signed his name and stamped the official seal of Dahua Group.

At this point…

Dahua Group and Lin Fan had reached an official agreement on carbon-based chips!

393 Internet Discussion; Praise!

After Lin Fan and Ran Fei signed the contract, it was the weekend. Lin Fan lay at home for two days.

Monday morning.

As usual, Lin Fan looked at his phone out of habit.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,596,000 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Then, he turned his attention to the sign-in system.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've received 1,000,000 yuan.]

Lin Fan did not care about that at all. After breakfast, he drove the Cullinan to Jiangbei University.

After lying in bed for two days, he returned to the campus. He looked at the students walking and laughing, the students playing basketball on the field, and the students standing in the corner reading English aloud…

Lin Fan also became energetic.

At this moment, an extremely excited voice came from not far away.

"Lin Fan!"

Then, Professor Wang Jun and Professor Chen Haiyang from the Department of Computer Science walked over with the latest Science journal.

When they came in front of Lin Fan, they bowed and said respectfully, "Thank you, Lin Fan!"

This morning, when they saw the latest Science journal, they were so shocked that they could not control themselves.

This was because there was only one thesis title on the cover of this issue of Science!

Rather, there was only one thesis in the entire journal!

That was the Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines!

The first author of the thesis was Lin Fan.

Their names were on the second author!

This 'thank you' was not just because Lin Fan had placed their names as the second author.

The most important reason was that Lin Fan had invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine, allowing Hua Nation to finally take a solid step forward in the field of chips!

This step was their… or rather, it was the step that all Hua Nation computer scientists hoped to take.

Now, it had finally become reality!

Lin Fan waved his hand nonchalantly. "It's just a small matter."

Small matter?

That was right!

In Lin Fan's eyes, it was just a small matter.

After all, it only took him about an hour and a half to easily obtain the carbon-based photolithographic machine.

Lin Fan did not chat with them and continued walking forward.

Wang Jun and Chen Haiyang looked at Lin Fan's back as he walked away. While they praised him, their faces gradually revealed an unconcealable joy.

This was because their names were written on the paper The Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines!

Even if it was only as the second author, it was still a very impressive achievement!

If the history of the internet appeared in books in the future, their names might also appear!

When Lin Fan arrived at the classroom, the students were laughing and chatting as usual. They were extremely relaxed.

At this moment, a series of brisk footsteps sounded from outside the corridor.

Then, Counselor Sun Yaodong walked in with a smile.

He cleared his throat and said, "Everyone should know that chips have always been a headache for our country!

"Now, I want to tell you a piece of good news. This headache no longer exists!

"Because Lin Fan, from this class, has invented a carbon-based photolithographic machine. It can easily produce carbon-based chips that are 100 times more powerful than today's high-end silicon-based chips!

"Let us give a warm round of applause to Student Lin Fan!"

The entire classroom fell silent.

Everyone was stunned.

Even though they were not computer science majors, they also knew that the mainstream chips in the world today were all silicon-based chips.

However, Lin Fan invented… a carbon-based chip that was easily 100 times more powerful than silicon-based chips.

How incredible was this?

It was actually the work of their classmate?

They were both in compulsory education, so why was he so outstanding?

Sun Yaodong saw that none of the students had any reaction, so he called out again, "Everyone, please applaud and congratulate Lin Fan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and clapped.

Then, the entire classroom burst into thunderous applause.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Fan, their faces filled with admiration.

In fact, it was not just the students who looked at Lin Fan with admiration.

Counselor Sun Yaodong was the same.

His face even had a touch of redness.

After a long time, the applause slowly stopped.

"The facts have proven that my judgment is very good!" Sun Yaodong said again. "Lin Fan, well done. You've brought glory to our class!"

Lin Fan's lips twitched.

Was it not because he had solved Zhou's Conjecture that he was accepted to study at Jiangbei University?

'How is it related to your judgment?

'Also, Counselor Sun, do you really only know how to praise people by saying 'bringing glory'?'

After Sun Yaodong said a few words, he did not stay in the classroom for long.

After all, this was not his class.

After Sun Yaodong left, the classroom was filled with discussions.

"Brother Lin Fan, aren't you too awesome? You actually invented a carbon-based photolithographic machine!"

"Is that chip really so powerful?"

"When can it be listed?"

However, the students did not discuss it for long before the old professor slowly walked in.

The old professor first used a pair of murky eyes that emitted a faint light to stay on Lin Fan for a few seconds before starting today's lecture.

The old professor's course was not very attractive to many people.

Now, everyone was even less interested.

Their thoughts were all on Lin Fan's carbon-based photolithographic machine.

Some people quietly took out their phones and searched for relevant content on the internet.

At this moment, Song Yi, who was secretly looking at his phone, suddenly shouted, "F*ck!"

It was because he saw a piece of news—Dahua Group used 20% of the shares to obtain the general distribution rights of the carbon-based chip invented by Lin Fan. At the same time, Lin Fan also had 50% of the profits from the carbon-based chip.

Dahua Group was a giant company with a market value of more than a trillion yuan.

20% of the shares meant that Lin Fan had become a billionaire!

What a terrifying number!

How could Song Yi not scream?

However, how would he know that Lin Fan's net worth was a few hundred billion?

His voice was like a stone thrown into a lake, completely breaking the silence.

Everyone, including the old professor, focused their attention on Song Yi.

Song Yi also noticed this and felt so guilty that he wanted to bury his head under the table.

Fortunately, the old professor did not make a fuss. He only glanced at Song Yi twice before continuing his lecture.

… 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎l.𝚘rg

In fact, it was not just this piece of news.

The top search on Weibo was also about Lin Fan.

Daily: [Congratulations to Lin Fan of Jiangbei University for developing a carbon-based photolithographic machine!]

Almost the instant this post appeared, countless comments poured in like snowflakes.

Firmament: [The fewer words, the bigger the matter!]

Whirlpool: [God Lin Fan is awesome!]

Hehe, Did You Smile: [Lin Fan is awesome!]

Boom, Boom, Boom: [Can you explain what a carbon-based photolithographic machine is?]

Deep Sea: [Let me explain. Photolocation machines were used to produce chips. Before today, they were all silicon-based photolithographic machines used to produce silicon-based chips.

[As the name suggests, carbon-based photolithographic machines are used to produce carbon-based chips.

[And the carbon-based chip that God Lin Fan invented is a hundred times better than the highest-end silicon-based chip!]

As Long as You're Happy: [F*ck! A hundred times? This is too awesome!]

Mr. Huang: [Wait, why do I feel that the name Lin Fan is a little familiar?]

Disheartened: [Familiar? You're right! If you search for Lin Fan of Jiangbei University on the internet, you'll find that he not only solved Zhou's Conjecture, the Twin Prime Number Conjecture, Hail Conjecture, Hodge Conjecture, and other difficult mathematical problems.

[In addition, he invented the earthquake prediction device and the human islet recovery medicine.]

Yang Xiaozhong: [On the internet, I'm constantly reminded that I'm here to make up the numbers.]

Fate: [God Lin Fan, is f*cking awesome!]

Compared to the excitement in Hua Nation, the situation overseas was bleak.

Karen: [A carbon-based chip? Such a thing was actually invented!]

Jerry: [More importantly, the person who invented it is actually a young man from Hua Nation!]

Alexander: [A young man from Hua Nation? No! This must be fake news!]

JJ: [False news? Are you saying that Science published a fake paper for Hua Nation? Or could it be that Jon Durai, Molinston, Arnold, Abel, and the others, the top names in the field of computers and chips, are all faking it for Lin Fan? If this is the case, then it'll be even scarier than Hua Nation manufacturing carbon-based chips!]

A Erba: [Is it that difficult to admit that others are strong? Mr. Lin Fan has solved many math problems, invented the earthquake prediction device, and even the human islet recovery medicine… He's known as the existence with the strongest brain on Earth!]

Regarding these…

Lin Fan did not care at all.

Other than the students who gathered around to give him a thumbs up and praise him after class, he was still eating and sleeping as usual.

In the blink of an eye, the day's classes were over.

At the request of Song Yi, Zheng Jinbao, and the other students, Lin Fan brought them to AC Clubhouse.

They ate top-grade abalone and sea cucumbers…

They drank XO and Romanée-Conti…

They enjoyed god-like massages…

All the students felt extremely comfortable.

This time, perhaps due to the short period of time, he only spent a total of 680,000 yuan.

At the same time, 68 red packets appeared in Lin Fan's phone.

It was already 9:30 PM when they left AC Clubhouse.

Lin Fan drove the Cullinan and listened to the pleasant song from the Eton speaker as he sped toward the Coiling Dragon Villa.

Lin Fan had just arrived at the Coiling Dragon Villa when the phone in his pocket rang.

He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was his sister, Lin Xiaoyao.

Hence, he pressed the answer button.

"Brother, are you the one who invented the carbon-based photolithographic machine?" As soon as the call connected, Lin Xiaoyao's voice sounded.

Lin Fan rubbed his ears and said, "It's me."

"Then… Dahua Group used 20% of their shares to obtain the sole agency rights for your carbon-based chips? Oh right, there's also a 50% profit?" Lin Xiaoyao asked again.

"Yes," Lin Fan said casually.

"F*ck, awesome!" Lin Xiaoyao shouted. "Brother, I love you!"

Lin Fan almost choked on his own saliva. He reminded her, "Lil Yao, we're siblings!"

395 The Dog's Birthday; Decent Ability! (2)

Then, she waved her hand at Big Yellow and said, "Big Yellow, happy birthday!"

Lin Fan and Su Ningjing walked downstairs together.

When they passed by an alley, several dogs wagged their tails and rubbed against Su Ningjing's feet intimately.

Su Ningjing bent down and stroked the dogs' heads. "Everyone, be good. I'll come over later… Hurry up and go back."

Obviously, these were the stray dogs she fed.

Lin Fan looked at these dogs and thought of Big Yellow upstairs. His heart skipped a beat, and he took out his phone to send a message.

Lin Fan did not take Su Ningjing to the mall today.

Instead, they walked on a narrow sidewalk, visited a quiet park, and went to a clear lake…Holding hands, they strolled forward and spoke the words of love in their hearts.

Unknowingly…

The sun slowly set.

At this moment, it was as if a large patch of bright red flowers had bloomed in the distant sky. It was extremely gorgeous.

The two of them leaned against each other, and time seemed to have stopped.

At this moment, a breeze blew from afar.

"Ningjing, let's go. I'll bring you to a place."

In Su Ningjing's heart, as long as she was with Lin Fan, she was willing to go anywhere. She nodded gently and said, "Alright."

Imperial Hotel.

General Manager Wang Fengyi spent most of his time in the office dealing with matters.

Today, he had been standing in the hall for the entire afternoon.

As the sky gradually darkened, a series of crisp footsteps sounded outside.

Then…

A tall and handsome man, holding the arm of a graceful woman, slowly walked over.

It was Lin Fan and Su Ningjing.

When Wang Fengyi saw the two of them, he quickly came up and said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Lin and Ms. Su."

Lin Fan nodded. "Bring us there."

"Yes, this way please., Wang Fengyi said.

After a while, Lin Fan and Su Ningjing arrived at the luxurious banquet hall on the 78th floor.

As soon as the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, loud and noisy barks sounded from inside.

Su Ningjing took a closer look and found that Big Yellow and the stray dogs in the alley were all inside.

Not only that, but there were also many photos of dogs hanging on the walls of the banquet hall.

In the middle of the banquet hall, there was a huge photo of Big Yellow with a birthday cake.

When the large group of dogs saw that Su Ningjing was here, they all wagged their tails and ran over, constantly rubbing against Su Ningjing's feet.

At this moment, two rows of men in small suits slowly walked in with small bags.

As they walked, they played the birthday song.

At the same time, a waiter pushed a large cake made of M9 beef and followed behind them.

Lin Fan placed two golden candles on the M9 beef and lit them with a lighter.

This was all for Big Yellow's birthday.

If an outsider saw this, who knew what kind of expression they would have?

One had to know…

Such a large piece of M9 beef would cost tens of thousands of yuan, and a pure gold candle would cost thousands of yuan.

To book a luxurious banquet hall would require more than 50,000 yuan!

In other words, the total cost of celebrating this dog's birthday was close to 100,000 yuan!

Most people would not spend that much money on their birthdays!

Even people were inferior to dogs now!

"Big Yellow doesn't know how to blow out candles. Ningjing, you can help it," Lin Fan said.

Su Ningjing also understood that Lin Fan had specially made these arrangements for Big Yellow's birthday.

In Su Ningjing's heart, Big Yellow was her family.

Lin Fan did all this clearly because he also treated Big Yellow as a family member.

Su Ningjing could not help but feel touched. She nodded and said, "Alright!"

After blowing out the candles, Big Yellow and a large group of stray dogs divided the M9 beef cake into portions and ate it heartily. They were very satisfied.

Su Ningjing was very happy to see the dogs eating so happily.

She snuggled into Lin Fan's embrace, feeling extremely blissful.

The birthday party lasted until 9 PM before finally coming to an end.

Su Ningjing and Lin Fan looked at Big Yellow and the stray dogs. After they were picked up by professional breeders, they left the Imperial Hotel with Lin Fan.

The two of them arrived at a place not far from Washington Palace… They were in a courtyard of an old bungalow that occupied an area of nearly 2,000 square meters.

"Let's go inside and take a look."

As Lin Fan spoke, he pushed open the door of the courtyard.

A group of stray dogs ran over excitedly, wagging their tails and rubbing Su Ningjing's legs.

Su Ningjing could not help but be a little stunned. She asked, "You… Why are you guys here?"

Lin Fan said, "That alley is a little small. It can't house too many stray dogs. In the future, you can place the stray dogs you adopt here."

When Su Ningjing heard this, her heart trembled slightly.

She understood now. In order to allow her to raise more dogs, Lin Fan bought this mansion.

At this moment, Su Ningjing's entire heart seemed to have completely melted.

"Lin Fan."

She called out softly, ignoring the fact that the door to the courtyard was not closed yet. She also ignored the many dogs around her… She tiptoed lightly and moved closer to Lin Fan's face.

o(ε*)

(*3)(ε*)

They were warm and moist.

A few minutes later, Su Ningjing's heels slowly landed on the ground.

Suddenly, a crisp notification rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

[Ding! You've completed the hidden mission—Protect animals. You've acquired the skill, Animal Communication.]

What was this?

Lin Fan was a little confused and focused his attention on Animal Communication.

[Animal Communication: Able to understand the language of animals and have the ability to communicate with them.]

Seeing this…

Lin Fan's eyes twitched.

Communicating with animals seemed to be an interesting ability!

At this moment, a slightly dull voice sounded in his ear.

"The food today was really delicious."

Lin Fan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a dog that had some spots on his body groaning.

Obviously, it was the one speaking.

"Yeah, I've never eaten such delicious food before," a black dog said.

"In the past, I didn't have enough to eat every day, and I was often beaten up by others… Ever since I met the mistress, I've never been hungry again. Today, I even ate such delicious food… In the future, I must protect my mistress well," the white dog said.

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

"We have to protect the mistress well!"

The white dog's words received the unanimous approval of all the dogs.

"Do you think the man next to the mistress is our master?" the black dog asked. "The delicious food today seemed to have been prepared by him."

"He should be our master…"

"Since he's our master, we have to protect him in the future too."

"Yes, yes, yes!" the dogs said.

Hence, other than rubbing against Su Ningjing's feet, the dogs also rubbed against Lin Fan's feet.

When Lin Fan heard this, he could not help but smile.

These dogs knew how to repay kindness. Not bad!

The black dog rubbed against Lin Fan's feet and slowly raised its head.

Then, he said with a hesitant tone, "I don't know why, but it feels like… the master seems to understand me."

The spotted dog at the side could not help but ask, "Understand you?"

"That's impossible, right?" the white dog said.

Then, all the dogs raised their heads…

"I think… I also have the same feeling."

"Me too…"

At this moment, the black dog said, "Say… Is the master also a dog?"

The dogs fell into deep thought.

When Lin Fan heard this, his lips twitched.

These dogs were really too much!

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew in from outside the courtyard. The huge difference in temperature between day and night made Su Ningjing shiver.

Lin Fan noticed this as well. He pulled Su Ningjing into his embrace and said softly, "It's getting late. I'll send you back to rest first."

Su Ningjing nodded and replied softly.

Then, she waved at the stray dogs.

Only then did she walk out with Lin Fan.

396 Obtaining a School; Borrowing Money!

Jiangbei University, the female dormitory.

Zhao Ni and Liu Yunzhu walked in while chatting.

After dinner, Xia Bing and Xia Xue were reading.

At this moment, they were still reading.

Liu Yunzhu could not help but sigh.

When she noticed the contents of Xia Bing and Xia Xue's books, Zhao Ni said, "They're finally reading computer books again… I've always said that since you're computer geniuses, you should focus on computer science!"

Xia Bing and Xia Xue nodded noncommittally.

After Zhao Ni and Liu Yunzhu left, Xia Bing and Xia Xue slowly raised their heads and looked at the Science magazine next to them. The Principle and Usage of Carbon-Based Photolithographic Machines. Lin Fan was the first author!

Xia Bing and Xia Xue's beautiful eyes showed a little intoxication at first.

Then, they became more determined and started reading computer books more seriously.

In the next few days, Lin Fan maintained his lifestyle of eating, going to school, and sleeping. He was extremely relaxed and satisfied.

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend.

A ray of sunlight shone through the curtains and onto the balcony.

Lin Fan, who was still asleep, heard the sound of chattering.

"Fortunately, I woke up early and caught another worm today."

"I caught two."

"Are you that lucky today?"

"That's right! I even found a fruit!"

Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the curtains that were blown by the wind and the little sparrows on the treetops.

Only then did he understand that these voices belonged to the little sparrow. He could not help but reveal a different kind of smile on his face.

In the first few days, Lin Fan listened to the conversations of the animals and felt that it was very strange.

Now, he was gradually used to it.

Out of habit, he picked up his phone, and a text message appeared on the screen.

[Notice from Merchant Bank: 7,893,600 yuan was deposited into your account.]

Then, Lin Fan turned his attention to the sign-in system.

"Sign in!"

[Ding! Congratulations, you've obtained Edinburgh International School.]

If the school next to Washington Palace was the best public primary and secondary school in Jiangbei, then Edinburgh International School was the most luxurious private school in Jiangbei.

Located in the heart of Jiangbei City, Edinburgh International School covered an area of one million square meters. It was a towering castle-like school built by the famous designer Justin over five years and cost two billion yuan.

This place… Not only did they teach the students language, math, and other cultural knowledge, but they also taught them piano, violin, football, basketball, golf, horse riding, archery, etiquette, sociology, and foreign languages… This would allow the students to develop in an all-rounded way.

If the ordinary primary and secondary schools in Jiangbei could send the students to famous universities in the country, then Edinburgh International School would be able to send their students to famous international universities.

The tuition fee for Edinburgh International School was 500,000 yuan per year.

Even so, there were still many parents scrambling to enroll their children.

However, even if these parents were willing to pay, their children could not enter as they wished.

This was because both parents and children had to pass a strict written test and interview before they could obtain the qualifications to enter the school.

Lin Fan rubbed his chin and said, "Edinburgh International School? A school? What's the use of this?"

"Forget it, it's better than ten million yuan."

At this moment, his phone rang.

Lin Fan saw that it was an unfamiliar number and immediately pressed the answer button.

"This is the loan company. I'm Manager Han. Do you have any financial needs? The operation is very simple. You can get the money in three days…"

A dull voice came from the phone.

Initially, Lin Fan thought that it was a call from the headmaster or some manager of the school. He did not expect it to be a call to promote loans.

"Really?" he asked casually. "How much can I borrow?"

The voice on the other end of the phone was noticeably raised. "After you provide your ID card, you can borrow up to 500,000 yuan! Similarly, the loan can be released within three days."

Lin Fan pursed his lips and said, "500,000? That's too little."

Too little?

That was right!

One had to know…

Lin Fan's daily income from breathing, sleeping, and walking alone was more than seven million.

500,000? He could earn it by breathing for an hour or two, right?

Additionally, the loan company would only give out the money after three days.

The voice on the other end of the phone did not sound depressed.

On the contrary, the person became even more excited.

If the customer thought that the money was too little, it meant that the other party really lacked money!

"If you have a house and a car, you can provide us with the relevant documents and you can borrow up to five million yuan!"

Lin Fan said, "I have to provide so many things but can only borrow five million?"

Just the Coiling Dragon Villa that Lin Fan lived in was worth more than five million alone!

Manager Han hurriedly said, "Five million is just an estimate… We give out loans based on the actual price of the property and the vehicle. Don't worry, our loan amount will definitely be higher and faster than any bank! We're a professional loan company with great strength!"

Manager Han then asked after a pause, "Where's your house? How big is the area? I can give you a loan amount right now."

Lin Fan said, "Really? I have 132 houses in Washington Palace. I seem to have more than 1,000 houses in Zhenhu Yuting, and ten villas in the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex… By the way, are office buildings considered real estate? Qiankun Building, Baijia Building, Global Financial Building, Zhenghua Building, Jiaye Building… are all mine…Do the math first."

Beep, beep, beep! 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒏𝒆𝒕

However, Lin Fan only received a busy tone.

In a dark office building.

Manager Han spat softly. "Ten units in the Coiling Dragon Villa Complex? Why don't you just say that the entire Coiling Dragon Villa Complex is yours? 132 houses in Washington Palace, Qiankun Building, Global Financial Building… Pah! You don't even know your limits when bragging!"

It was no wonder that Han Biao would think so.

Each Coiling Dragon Villa was worth several hundred million yuan.

The price of each unit in Washington Palace was a few million yuan.

As for Qiankun Building and the Global Financial Building… Those were buildings worth tens of billions.

These… All of them belonged to the same person?

Was that not a big joke?

Lin Fan looked at his phone and muttered, "Am I being treated as a liar? In this day and age, why don't people believe you when you tell the truth?"

Lin Fan recalled the last name of the salesman. Manager Han… He could not help but think of Han Tian, who also had the surname of Han.

Lin Fan muttered to himself, "I haven't seen her for a while. I have nothing to do today. I should go look for her."

After saying that, Lin Fan quickly washed up and walked out.

He opened the door to the Cullinan, stepped on the accelerator, and sped into the distance.

397 Worry; I Will Solve It!

As it was the weekend, the road was very smooth.

Not long after, Lin Fan arrived at Lianjia Real Estate.

At this moment, Han Tian was looking at something on the computer, very focused.

Lin Fan did not bother her and just looked at her quietly.

As usual, Han Tian wore a black suit when she worked.

As her figure was too good, she could only barely button the third button of her shirt.

Even though she was sitting, there was no sign of fat on her abdomen. It was extremely smooth.

Her figure was vase-shaped.

At this moment, Han Tian slowly raised her head.

The next moment, her beautiful eyes lit up as she said excitedly, "Lin Fan! When did you arrive?"

Han Tian's voice was full of magnetism. It was very pleasant to hear.

Lin Fan said, "I've only just arrived."

Then, he slowly stepped forward and held Han Tian's slender waist. "What are you busy with?"

"I'm looking at the rental and sales situation of the houses in the area," Han Tian said.

"Am I disturbing you?" Lin Fan asked.

"How could that be? Actually, I've already memorized the data. It's just a habit of mine to check it every day to see if there are any changes," Han Tian said.

"Ta Ta Ta!"

At this moment, footsteps sounded from outside.

A man in a suit slowly walked in with a bunch of keys and a document.

When he saw Lin Fan hugging Han Tian, he was stunned.

However, he still said, "Hello, Manager Han, Mr. Lin."

His name was Wang Qi, and he was an ordinary employee of Lianjia.

Even though Lin Fan had only been to Lianjia twice, his appearance shocked everyone there both times.

The first time, Lin Fan brought the keys and the property ownership certificates to Washington Palace.

The second time, Lin Fan brought the property ownership certificates and keys to the entire Zhenhu Yuting estate.

Both times, Wang Qi was there and had a deep impression of Lin Fan.

Recently, some colleagues said that Han Tian and Lin Fan were together.

However, there were also many people who said that this was just a rumor.

Now, it was confirmed.

Hearing Wang Qi's greeting, Han Tian blushed and nodded.

After all, she had always acted like a strong woman in the office.

Now, she was snuggling in Lin Fan's arms like a little girl. She was really not used to it.

Lin Fan was very relaxed and said, "You're called Wang Qi, right?"

"Yes," Wang Qi hurriedly said.

"How's business recently?" Lin Fan asked.

"Thanks to you, business has been good recently." 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙.𝘰𝑟𝑔

Wang Qi was definitely not complimenting him.

Lin Fan had given them the entire Washington Palace and Zhenhu Yuting estate to rent.

One had to know…

Washington Palace was the best school district in Jiangbei, so they did not have to worry about renting the units out.

Zhenhu Yuting was a residential area in the city center. There were many high-end office buildings around, so the units there were easy to rent out too.

Every month, Wang Qi received a considerable amount of income.

Lin Fan chatted for a while more before heading out with Han Tian.

They walked on the quiet path and looked at the green grass, feeling very comfortable.

At this moment, Lin Fan asked, "You seem to be troubled? Did he run into some trouble at work?"

When Lin Fan walked into Lianjia, he could easily tell that Han Tian seemed a little unhappy.

It was only when she saw him that a smile appeared on her face.

Han Tian's heart warmed when she saw how concerned Lin Fan was about her.

However, she thought of something and sighed. "It's not about work…

"It's my dad…

"My dad is a teacher at a private primary school.

"A while ago, there was a boy who bullied a girl. My father went up to stop him and reprimanded the boy.

"Who knew that the boy's father is a member of the school board? Not long after, my father was fired by the school.

"My dad really likes being a teacher, but he's already 50 years old now. In addition, he offended the board of directors, so no school is willing to accept him…

"During this period of time, Dad has been going for interviews everywhere, but he's ruthlessly rejected each time… I feel a little uncomfortable about the situation.

"I told him to give up on being a teacher and retire early, but he's unwilling."

It was no wonder that Han Tian was upset.

If her father were just a young man, it would not be a big deal if he was rejected.

However, the problem was that he was already so old… If he continued to be rejected, his heart would definitely suffer incomparable pain.

Lin Fan patted Han Tian's shoulder lightly and said, "Don't worry. Leave this matter to me…"

Han Zhengzhong, who had slightly grayed sideburns, was wearing a white shirt and carrying a briefcase as he slowly walked out of a primary school.

The moment he stepped out of the school gate, his entire body trembled slightly.

He failed!

He failed yet another interview!

Just as Han Tian had said, Han Zhengzhong was suffering from repeated failures.

"Could it be that I really can't do it?"

Filled with self-denial, he walked slowly on the street like a walking corpse.

At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang.

After a while, Han Zhengzhong slowly picked up the call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Han Zhengzhong?"

A very respectful voice came from the phone.

"Yes, it's me. And you are?" Han Zhengzhong asked."

"Hello, Mr. Han! I'm Cai Xiaojun, the manager of the Human Resources Department at Edinburgh International School. We've received your resume. We sincerely invite you to come to Edinburgh International School for an interview. Do you have the time?"

Han Zhengzhong was stunned.

Edinburgh International School?

Was this not the most luxurious school in Jiangbei?

The tuition fee for each student was 500,000 yuan.

The treatment of teachers was several times better than outside!

An interview?

Did he submit his resume to this school?

Even so, Han Zhengzhong still said, "I have time! Can I go over now?"

As long as a school invited him for an interview, he would give it a try!

After all, there was no chance without an interview.

Even if it was not even a one-in-a-ten-thousand chance, he would still do it!

In addition, Han Zhengzhong had long wanted to visit the campus.

However, the school was always closed off, and ordinary people could not enter.

Now, there was a chance.

"Of course. May I ask where you are?" Cai Xiaojun said. "I'll get someone to drive over and pick you up now…"

"No need, no need," Han Zhengzhong hurriedly said. "I know the place. I can just take a taxi there."

Cai Xiaojun hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay, we're looking forward to your arrival."

398 Interviews; Successful!

Han Zhengzhong stood by the roadside and called a taxi.

Not long after, a tall and majestic building that looked like a huge castle appeared in front of him.

This… It was Edinburgh International School!

In the past, Han Zhengzhong had seen this school from afar.

However, he had mostly just taken glimpses.

Now, Han Zhengzhong could stop to take a closer look and was inexplicably shocked.

"As expected of the most luxurious school in Jiangbei!"

A tall security guard saw Han Zhengzhong standing at the door and could not help but walk over. "Hello, what's the matter?"

There was a hint of vigilance in his tone.

One had to know…

There were often perverts who wanted to take revenge on society.

The students at Edinburgh International School were all rich and powerful. The security guards would never allow such unfortunate cases to happen.

As for the possibility that Han Zhengzhong was picking up a child from school, the idea did not even cross the security guard's mind.

Even the nanny would drive a luxury car over to pick up the children.

Han Zhengzhong had just arrived in a taxi.

Han Zhengzhong only reacted after hearing the security guard's words. "Ah… I… I'm here for an interview."

"An interview?"

The security guard's expression became even more vigilant.

Han Zhengzhong was simply too old.

At this school, even the people who swept the trash were all young people in their 20s or 30s.

When questioned by the security guard, Han Zhengzhong had a guilty conscience.

What if the previous call was a scam?

However, he had already come here. He could not just leave without doing anything, right?

"It was the HR manager, Cai Xiaojun, who called me for an interview," Han Zhengzhong said. "By the way, my name is Han Zhengzhong."

At this moment, the head of security, who was not far away, walked over quickly.

"Hello, Mr. Han. Manager Cai is waiting for you in Conference Room 501 of Teaching Building 2."

Han Zhengzhong heaved a sigh of relief.

From the looks of it, the phone call just now was not a scam.

He… He had indeed received an interview invitation from Edinburgh International School.

"Alright," Han Zhengzhong said after a while.

Han Zhengzhong looked at the school from the outside and felt that it was very tall and magnificent.

Walking in, he saw the green grass, the brand new rubber track, and the exquisite statue… It gave him the illusion that he was in Century Park.

A moment later, Han Zhengzhong arrived at Teaching Building 2 and took the luxury elevator. He did not feel any sense of weightlessness, and with a ding, he arrived at the fifth floor.

Han Zhengzhong adjusted his clothes and knocked on the door of Conference Room 501.

"Please come in!"

At this moment, three people were sitting in the meeting room.

"Hello, I'm Han Zhengzhong."

When the three of them heard this, fawning expressions flashed across their faces.

"Hello, Mr. Han," a round-faced man said. "I'm Cai Xiaojun, who called you just now."

"Hello, Manager Cai," Han Zhengzhong said.

"Mr. Han, can you introduce yourself?" Cai Xiaojun nodded."

"Alright…"

Therefore, Han Zhengzhong briefly explained his work experience.

"Alright!" Cai Xiaojun said with a smile. "From your resume, you have more than 20 years of teaching experience!

"In addition, you've been a form teacher for several years. It can be said that you have a wealth of experience in teaching and management!

"We at Edinburgh International School lack teachers like you!

"On behalf of Edinburgh International School, I welcome you!"

"Huh?" Han Zhengzhong was stunned.

What did Cai Xiaojun mean?

He wanted to hire him?

However, he had only briefly introduced himself.

This… was very good?

Han Zhengzhong said after a while, "Actually, I lost my last job because I criticized a boy who bullied a girl. The boy's father happens to be a member of the school board. So, I was fired."

Cai Xiaojun smiled. "You're not afraid of power and treat everyone equally. This is a very outstanding quality."

"I might retire after a few years," Han Zhengzhong added.

"I just said that this means that you have rich teaching and management experience. Even if you retire after a few years, you're still a very rare talent!" Cai Xiaojun said.

Seeing that Han Zhengzhong was about to say something, Cai Xiaojun said, "Also, I noticed that when you walked into our conference room, you took the first step with your right leg.

"Your right leg is the leg of hope. This means that you will bring endless hope to our Edinburgh International School!"

Han Zhengzhong lowered his head.

Was it an advantage to step in using the right leg first?

Cai Xiaojun did not care much and continued, "I think you're very suitable for the position of the Dean of Education at our Edinburgh International School. Your monthly salary will be 100,000 yuan, and you'll get a high bonus at the end of the year. You'll also receive reimbursement for parking fees, gas fees, meals, and other benefits. What do you think?"

Han Zhengzhong was stunned.

A monthly salary of 100,000 yuan and a high year-end bonus. All expenses would also be covered?

It was said that the salary of a teacher at Edinburgh International School was several times that of a teacher at other schools.

How many times?

It was more than ten times!

Han Zhengzhong's previous salary was only 7,000 to 8,000, and he did not get any benefits.

Seeing that Han Zhengzhong did not respond, Cai Xiaojun could not help but say, "Of course, if you're not satisfied, we can continue to discuss…

"We, Edinburgh International School, are really looking forward to having you join us."

Han Zhengzhong finally reacted and said, "No, no, I'm very satisfied."

Cai Xiaojun heaved a sigh of relief. "That's great. Welcome to Edinburgh International School."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to extend his right hand.

Han Zhengzhong extended his trembling right hand and shook it gently.

Lin Fan and Han Tian were strolling in a quiet park.

At this moment, the phone in Lin Fan's pocket rang with a crisp notification.

Lin Fan waved his phone and said, "Your father's job has been confirmed. He has been interviewed and signed the contract. He was hired according to the procedures."

When Han Tian heard this, her beautiful eyes glistened with tears.

Lin Fan's actions gave her father a chance to work.

Secondly, he had also given face to her father.

This was simply too considerate of him.

"Lin Fan, you're so good to me," Han Tian said gently.

Then, she could not help but snuggle into Lin Fan's arms. Her entire body seemed to be turning into water, completely melting into Lin Fan's body.

Lin Fan smiled. "You're my girlfriend."

Han Tian felt as if she had eaten honey.

399 Award; Let's Go Together!

Time in school seemed to flow by like water every day.

In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed.

On this day, Lin Fan woke up. He had just eaten a crab burger, an M5 steak, and a glass of orange juice…

At this moment, the phone on the table rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Ling Rou.

Lin Fan did not hesitate at all and answered the call.

"Good morning."

As soon as the call connected, Ling Rou's pleasant voice came from the other end.

Hearing this voice, Lin Fan could not help but think of the scene of her standing on the stage and singing like a fairy.

At the thought of this, Lin Fan could not help but smile.

"Good morning!" Lin Fan smiled.

Then, the two of them chatted on the phone, and sometimes, they talked about love. They were very relaxed.

A moment later…

"Lin Fan, are you free these few days?" Ling Rou asked. "I've been nominated for the Hong Kong Golden Melody Award and the Best Newcomer Award. I might have to go to Hong Kong in the afternoon."

"I didn't expect you to win an award so soon. Even if I don't have time, I have to squeeze some time out to witness the moment you win an award," Lin Fan said.

When Ling Rou heard this, her pretty face was full of smiles.

However, she still said, "It's just a nomination. It doesn't mean I'll win."

"You sing so well that the judges will definitely give you the award," Lin Fan said.

At first, Ling Rou did not have much confidence.

However, when she heard Lin Fan's words, for some reason, she was filled with confidence. She nodded her head and said, "Alright!"

In the afternoon.

Lin Fan drove the Cullinan straight to the airport.

At this moment, a woman wearing a round mask and sunglasses was standing in the distance.

Even though she was wrapped up tightly, just from her snow-white skin and perfect figure, it was not difficult to see that she was definitely an extremely beautiful woman.

It was Ling Rou!

After all, Ling Rou was a popular singer.

If she was recognized, it would be very troublesome.

Especially in Jiangbei, the probability of being recognized was the highest.

It was because Ling Rou started to become famous in Jiangbei.

There were the most fans here.

However, Lin Fan still recognized her at a glance. He walked forward and gently hugged her slender waist.

Ling Rou hugged Lin Fan and said happily, "Lin Fan, you're here!"

Usually, managers did not want their female artistes to have too much intimate contact with men.

Especially in a public place.

If the scene was photographed by others, it would greatly affect her popularity.

Li Fei, who was standing at the side, did not seem to see the two of them hugging.

It was because the person who was hugging Ling Rou was Lin Fan!

He was the real boss of Xin Mei Entertainment!

Lin Fan's heart ached. "It's too uncomfortable for you to wear these. Let's get on the plane first."

She still had to dress like this in the plane, right?

After all, if too many people noticed her on the plane, it would easily cause some unnecessary trouble.

Although Ling Rou thought so, she still nodded vigorously and said, "Okay!"

Originally, Ling Rou and Li Fei had already booked the plane tickets.

However, Lin Fan had them refund the tickets.

He said that he would make the arrangements himself.

Ling Rou and Li Fei were somewhat puzzled.

One had to know…

They had booked first-class tickets.

Would Lin Fan not arrange first-class tickets as well?

However, they would follow Lin Fan's decision unconditionally, especially Ling Rou.

Therefore, they did as they were told. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Then, Lin Fan and Ling Rou held hands as they walked toward the counter for Xia Airlines.

Several beautiful and exquisite stewardesses came forward to welcome them when they saw them from afar.

Among them, the beautiful air stewardess who was walking at the front said in the sweetest tone, "Hello, Mr. Lin."

Seeing this…

Ling Rou did not have any reaction.

That was because all her attention was on Lin Fan.

On the other hand, Li Fei's face revealed a trace of surprise.

She had taken many flights before, but she had never had a group of air stewardesses waiting for her in advance.

Lin Fan did not care about Li Fei's thoughts. He nodded his head and said, "Take us to the plane."

"Okay, this way," the beautiful air stewardess said.

Not long after, Lin Fan, Ling Rou, and Li Fei arrived at the location. They got on the Mercedes-Benz minibus that had been waiting for them for a long time.

Then, two rows of beautiful air stewardesses and a luxurious passenger plane appeared in front of them.

When Lin Fan and the others got off the minibus, the two rows of beautiful air stewardesses bowed and said respectfully, "Welcome, Mr. Lin. We will serve you wholeheartedly."

Not long ago, when he went to Eagle Country, Lin Fan had already seen such a scene.

Therefore, he did not pay too much attention to it.

In Ling Rou's heart, as long as something happened to Lin Fan, no matter what it was, she did not need to be surprised.

Therefore, she did not have any reaction.

Li Fei, who was by the side, was slightly stunned.

Since when did the flight attendants provide such a welcoming ceremony?

Lin Fan held Ling Rou's hand and said, "Let's get on."

Ling Rou felt the warmth on her hand and felt even happier. She nodded and said, "Yes, yes!"

Li Fei followed closely behind.

When they sat down, they saw that the entire plane was empty. There was not a single passenger.

"Ling Rou, you can take off your hat, sunglasses, and mask."

Ling Rou did as she was told and took them all off.

At this moment, a stewardess walked over and asked softly, "Mr. Lin, can we take off now?"

"Sure," Lin Fan said.

"Alright," the air stewardess responded and slowly walked toward the cockpit.

Rumble!

Not long after, the entire plane made a loud noise and accelerated on the ground.

Finally, it charged into the air.

Soon, they reached the top of the dense clouds and sailed forward like a small boat in the sky.

Then, a group of air stewardesses pushed a cart with sea cucumbers, bird's nest, top-grade beef, Australian pork, caviar, Romanee-Conti, and other luxurious delicacies and drinks.

Lin Fan first tasted the sea urchin egg and nodded. "This is not bad. Ling Rou, try it."

Ling Rou took a bite, and the food melted in her mouth. It was indeed very delicious, and her beautiful face was filled with enjoyment.

Li Fei, who was at the side, looked at the luxurious delicacies, fine wine, and the empty plane in front of her.

She also looked at the air stewardesses who provided the best service to the three of them. She could not help but sigh. "So, this is what it's like to have a chartered flight."

Lin Fan smiled. "I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy these things on a chartered plane. This is a private plane because I'm the largest shareholder of Xia Airlines."

Li Fei was stunned on the spot.

400 Arrival; Find a Doctor!

One had to know…

Xia Airlines was the largest private airline company. It had nearly 1,000 planes, and its total market value was close to 100 billion!

The largest shareholder probably owned tens of billions, right?

In addition, Lin Fan was also the boss of Xin Mei Entertainment.

Xin Mei Entertainment's market value was 20 billion!

Lin Fan… How much money did he have?

How could Li Fei know that this was just a small amount of Lin Fan's assets?

Compared to Li Fei's shock and dumbfoundedness, Ling Rou was much calmer.

It was because she would never forget the time when Lin Fan had used Little Tanuki, Penguin, and Alphabet to advertise for her in order to hold a concert for her.

The stage also cost hundreds of millions of yuan to build.

Even if Lin Fan said that he was the richest man in the country, she would still accept it.

That was because in Ling Rou's heart, Lin Fan was already as bright as the sun. It was normal for him to have all these achievements.

Not long after, the private plane slowly landed.

Hong Kong was different from Jiangbei. The entertainment industry here was very developed. It could be said that one could meet celebrities everywhere.

As a result, when the people of Hong Kong saw celebrities, they would only be a little surprised and would not go fanatical.

After all, they had seen too many of them and had gotten used to them.

Plus, Ling Rou was not famous in Hong Kong.

Therefore, when she got off the plane, she did not wrap herself up as she did in Jiangbei.

Lin Fan, Ling Rou, and Li Fei walked out of the airport. A Rolls-Royce Phantom was already waiting in front of them.

As the Rolls-Royce Phantom moved forward steadily, about 20 minutes later, the tallest and most luxurious Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong appeared in front of them.

Under the service staff's guidance, Li Fei stayed in Presidential Suite No. 2.

She looked at the spacious and luxurious room and was at a loss.

She was already very happy to be able to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, but she never thought that she would be staying in the presidential suite.

One had to know that such a suite costs 100,000 yuan a day!

Lin Fan did not care about Li Fei's thoughts. He had already arrived at Presidential Suite No. 1 with Ling Rou.

He naturally wanted to stay in the best place with Ling Rou.

Li Fei was Ling Rou's manager, so the two of them might have some work to discuss and deal with in the next few days. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝗹.𝗻𝐞𝘁

Staying next door was obviously more convenient.

As for the price tag of 100,000 yuan per night? This was already very practical.

The Presidential Suite No. 1 of the Peninsula Hotel was the most luxurious suite in the entire hotel.

The sofa, table, and chairs were from a well-known Italian brand. The full-length glass allowed one to see the scenery of Hong Kong at a glance. It gave people a relaxed, warm, and home-like feeling.

Home?

When Ling Rou thought of this word, she could not help but slowly approach Lin Fan.

o(ε*)

(*3)(ε*)

Absence made the heart grow fonder, and the two of them became like magnets, tightly glued together.

In the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

At this moment, the sky had already darkened.

Lin Fan and Ling Rou showered, changed their clothes, and ate something at the Peninsula Hotel's restaurant.

After that, they started to stroll around Hong Kong.

Hong Kong was indeed a shopping paradise.

Jiangbei was the capital city of Jiang Province, and there were quite a few large shopping malls.

However, compared to Hong Kong, they were still nothing.

In Hong Kong, almost every street had a large shopping mall. One could see LV, Gucci, and other luxury goods everywhere.

Shopping seemed to be a woman's nature.

Even Ling Rou was no exception.

She walked into one shop after another, trying on clothes, matching them, and asking questions. Her entire pretty face was full of smiles.

As long as Ling Rou liked something, Lin Fan would buy it without hesitation!

Even so, after an hour of shopping, he only spent two million yuan.

Some people said that there were three major mansions in Hua Nation.

One was Ocean Villa in Jingbei, the second was Hilltop Villa in Hong Kong, and the third was the Sandalwood Palace in Modu.

At this moment, in a villa on the top of a mountain in Hong Kong.

Many people gathered together, their faces full of worry.

Most of them were from the Tang family.

Some people said that Li Chaoren was the richest man in Hong Kong.

In fact, this statement was not accurate. Li Chaoren could only be considered the richest person in Hong Kong.

There was another rich man in the dark, and that was Tang Mingyuan.

Tang Mingyuan was very low-key.

However, the power and funds he had were no less than Li Chaoren's.

Today, the old man who held endless wealth suddenly fell ill! The situation was extremely dangerous.

"I wonder how the situation is."

They hoped the old man was fine.

"Ah."

In the hall, discussions and sighs could be heard.

At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded from outside.

Two men strode in.

When everyone saw them, they all respectfully called out, "Hello, Old Master Zhou."

"Greetings, Old Master Zhou."

This old man was none other than Zhou Guotao, the old master of the Zhou family in Jingbei.

The middle-aged man beside him was the second son of the Zhou family, Zhou Shihong.

Old Master Zhou did not care about everyone's greetings and asked bluntly, "How is Old Tang?"

A man in a white shirt called Tang Hua sighed and said, "He fell seriously ill at 2 AM and hasn't woken up again. The doctor is still trying to save him."

Old Master Zhou just stared at the ward in front of him without saying anything.

However, he was very worried.

Otherwise, he would not have come all the way to Hong Kong.

About half an hour later, the doors to the ward slowly opened.

Three doctors walked out with exhausted faces.

The people waiting in the hall quickly surrounded him.

Tang Hua anxiously asked, "How is the old man?"

The three doctors looked at each other, but none of them dared to speak.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Tang Hua said again.

The doctor standing in the middle finally said, "Old Master's situation… is terrible. You have to be mentally prepared at all times."

As soon as he said this, a wave of wails immediately sounded at the scene.

"Old Master…"

"No!"

Zhou Guotao's old man's eyes were also slightly red.

Someone shouted, "There must be another way. There must be!"

"That's right!"

"I've already invited a famous doctor from America. When he comes to Hong Kong, he'll definitely be able to save the old man."

Firstly, Tang Mingyuan treated the Tang family very well, and the family members could not bear to part with him.

Secondly, Tang Mingyuan was a stabilizing force for the Tang family. If they lost him, the entire Tang family might face a terrifying crisis.

Zhou Guotao did not have that many thoughts.

He really could not bear to see his old friend leave.

Find a doctor?

Zhou Guotao's eyes moved slightly.

After a moment of hesitation…

Zhou Guotao finally took out his phone and found Lin Fan's name.

"Quiet down!" he shouted. "I'll contact the divine doctor and see if he has time to come over!"
