A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1428 Shin Yu-Xiang's Current Plight

"Miss Lin, please accept my apologies for what happened today. It's Mufan Group's fault that you've suffered such unpleasantness. On behalf of Mufan Group, I would like to extend our deepest and sincerest apologies to you." Having reprimanded Ye Jian, Ye Fan turned towards Lin Yu-Han and formally extended his apologies to the young woman.

He had been unaware of what had gone on before this. Nevertheless, Ye Jian was an employee of Mufan Group and had done something horribly wrong. Ye Fan had to apologize to Lin Yu-Han.

The young woman had fallen into a stunned daze after hearing what Ye Fan had said.

Frozen to the spot, she stared at Ye Fan with eyes filled with incredulity and shock.

She had not expected the young man whom she had felt sympathy for to be the true master and owner of Mufan Group.

Everything had happened too quickly. It felt too surreal, as if she were in a dream.

Was this man the legendary Mr Chu? Was he really the man who commanded Mufan Group?

Lin Yu-Han's eyes were colored with disbelief. She couldn't stop heaving. It must have been the shock. It was going to take her a long time to calm down.

After a long moment, she finally said in a trembling voice. "It's. Jt's alright. It's not your fault."

Ye Fan smiled at her.

He turned away and stared at the interviewers. "Continue the interview. But remember, Mufan Group only has one set of requirements when it comes to hiring. We only hire workers who are talented and capable. No one is going to get into Mufan Group because they know someone in the company. Do you understand?"

Ye Fan's voice was filled with unyielding authority.

The interviewers nodded profusely. They dared not utter a single word at all.

Having said that, Ye Fan turned and looked at Ye Jian. "You, follow me. We're going to the chairman's office." Then, he turned and left.

Ye Jian kept his head down as he followed Ye Fan out of the room hurriedly.

Yang Xiao, who had been waiting outside, hurried up to Ye Jian when he saw the latter step out of the room.

"What's wrong with you, Jian? You look terrible? Did you lose a game because your teammates weren't good enough? Don't worry, your Brother Xiao will help you win the next round!" said Yang Xiao concernedly.

Yang Xiao and Ye Jian had known each other since they had been kids. But Yang Xiao were a few years older than Ye Jian. That was why Ye Jian addressed Yang Xiao as Brother Xiao.

"Oh, right. Jian, how did it go? Did Yu-Han agree to your offer?" asked Yang Xiao nervously.

Ye Jian didn't answer him and instead gave him a hard, desperate look that clearly meant that Yang Xiao should leave right now.

Yang Xiao didn't get the message.

"Jian, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you unwell?" asked Yang Xiao as he approached Ye Jian, ready to take a closer look at his eyes. That was when he noticed Ye Fan. A look of pure contempt appeared on his face. "Why is this punk still here? Jian, this guy out to cause trouble. Why didn't you get someone to throw him out?"

"Oh my god! Shut the hell up!" Ye Jian's face turned pale when he heard that. He was so angry he slapped Yang Xiao.

"Jian, what the hell are you doing?" Yang Xiao cupped his cheek with his palm and stared stupidly at his friend.

"What am I doing? I'm going to kill you, that's what! Before you get me killed!" yelled Ye Jian furiously before he gave Yang Xiao another slap across his other cheek. How he wished he could kill this man right now.

Yang Xiao was the one who had gotten him into this entire mess.

He wouldn't have been fired and blacklisted by Mufan Group otherwise.

Now, Ye Fan had caught them both red-handed.

He knew Ye Fan's character. His life in Mufan Group was going to be hell.

"Get out of my way. Don't get in the way of my cousin!" Ye Jian kicked Yang Xiao aside before returning to Ye Fan's side meekly and leading Ye Fan to the chairperson's office.

"Cousin? So, you're really..." Yang Xiao was utterly dumbstruck.

He whirled around and stared at the other young man. It was as if he had just seen a ghost. Horror and shock filled his eyes.

Ye Fan's eyes landed on him then.

He gave Yang Xiao a look and a playful smile. "Well, I did tell you I owned Mufan Group. You didn't believe me then. Do you believe me now?"

His laughter erupted like a deafening bomb in Yang Xiao's ears.

Yang Xiao trembled, then fell into a boneless, pale heap.

Ye Fan and Ye Jian were long gone by then.

When Ye Jian leading Ye Fan, they soon reached the chairperson's office, where Ye Fan's mother worked.

It was empty when they arrived.

"Dear cousin, please wait here while I look for my father and uncles and inform them that you're here," said Ye Jian with a wide smile after handing Ye Fan a cup of tea. "Sure." Ye Fan nodded. "Hurry up. Where's Shin Yu-Xiang? Get him here too."

When Ye Fan had left Fenghai, he had placed Mufan Group branch under his mother's care and promoted his friend, Shin Yu-Xiang to an important position.

Now that he was here, he would like to see his friend of many years as well.

"About that..." Ye Jian's face twitched nearly imperceptibly at the mention of Shin Yu-Xiang's name.

"Is he not around?" Ye Fan frowned.

"Well, what an unfortunate coincidence. Shin Yu-Xiang's taken some time off work. He seems to have fallen ill and has gone overseas to seek treatment. I have no idea when he'll be back," whispered Ye Jian. "Is that so?" Ye Fan said with some measure of worry.

"Well then, Brother Fan, please have a seat while I get my father and our uncle." Ye Jian scurried away swiftly.

Ye Fan waited patiently in the room.

Half an hour passed and Ye Fan did not see a single soul appear in his mother's office.

Bored, he left the room with the intention of taking a walk around the office. He wanted to find out the changes that the Fenghai branch office had undergone during the year that he had been absent.

As he walked down the corridor, he came across a janitor cleaning the toilet. The latter accidentally stepped on his foot.

"I'm terribly sorry! I didn't see you. Please, let me clean that for you..."

The man was wearing a shabby set of uniform and smelled of the stinging smell of cleaning solution. He was a little plump and was still clutching a mop as he apologized profusely and bent forward to wipe Ye Fan's shoe.

His voice had Ye Fan freezing momentarily.

"Yu-Xiang, is it you?" asked Ye Fan carefully and uncertainly.

When the janitor heard Ye Fan's question, he trembled and froze to the spot. It was as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning.

Then, he whipped his head up and finally saw Ye Fan's face, which looked familiar and foreign at the same time.
