A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1843

Once the auction was over, Junie whispered to Ye Fan, "You knew that the auction house would give the Black Jade Disc to you for free, right?"

Nobody would have expected the magical artifact of the great master to fall into Ye Fan's possession in such a dramatic manner.

Although Junie did not show it, she had total respect for Ye Fan.

That was why Ye Fan went all out to bid for the item. He had already known that the auction house would give it to him for free in order to salvage their reputation. Sometimes, when she thought about it, she found this man extremely frightening.

More than a decade ago, when he was still a young man, he had already started to plot his revenge against the Chu family.

In the end, he was defeated by the Chu Sect.

However, over the thousands of years, Ye Fan was, without doubt, the first person who drove the Chu Sect to a corner.

If Chu Yuan had not appeared at the final moment to disrupt Ye Fan's formation, Dragon God Hall would have been the world's most powerful clan.

As for Chu Sect, they would have been annihilated by this man!

His battle strategies and craftiness were enough to make one shudder.

At that moment, Junie was glad that she was not Ye Fan's enemy.

With such a terrifying enemy around, one would never be able to sleep in peace.

It was only then Junie understood why the god realm fighter, Chu Yuan, did everything he could to kill Ye Fan.

If it was her, she would have done the same thing too.

The consequences would be dire if someone like Ye Fan was around!

Junie wondered how Ye Fan would react if he knew how she thought about him.

However, he answered her query with a smile, "I also didn't expect the auction house to give it to me for free. I said what I said so that Mr. Meng wouldn't fight with me over it. Who would have thought that the auction house would give me the item?"

When Junie heard his answer, she was shocked. "So, you are telling me that you had really intended to buy that defective item for two hundred million?"

Ye Fan nodded and joked, "That's right. Whatever Junie wants, Junie gets. No amount of money is too much and certainly not two hundred million." Junie blushed immediately upon hearing that.

Although she knew that Ye Fan was only teasing her as a friend, a strange sensation would arise every time he did that, and she had no idea why. "Shut up! You only know how to flatter me! Is this how you won over your wife back then?"

Outwardly, Junie rolled her eyes and stared at Ye Fan.

Deep in her heart, she was elated, but no one could know about it.

Honestly, Junie envied Mucheng very much.

There were so many outstanding women around Ye Fan.

In terms of looks, talents, capabilities, and figures, Mucheng was not the best when compared to Tang Yun, Xu Lei, and Chen Nan.

In fact, it would not be wrong to say that Mucheng was just an average woman.

Then again, the more outstanding women had all lost to that "average" woman.

The mere fact that she was the wife of Ye Fan and had his undying devotion and love was enough to make her an object of envy.

While chatting, both Ye Fan and Junie had already gone quite a distance.

However, they did not realize that they had been followed the moment they left the auction house.

Meng Chuan was already seated in his sports car. An elderly man next to the car asked him, "Mr. Meng, they're the ones who defied you publicly at the auction. Do you want your subordinates to teach them a lesson?"

Meng Chuan glanced at them from afar and waved his hand instead. "Wait for the auction to be over. Just send someone to keep an eye on them. Oh, is there any news about Mucheng?"

The old man answered respectfully, "Today, several people have called and offered to help you to win her over. In fact, one of them is Ms. Qiu's superior. He said he will send Ms. Qiu to your mansion later tonight."

When Meng Chuan heard that, a smug smile appeared on his face.

The outcome was something he had expected.

As the prince of Jiangbei, he always had people fawning over him.

He never needed to do anything for whatever he wanted. In this world, people would bestow him with whatever he desired.

"Tell him that as long as the task is accomplished to my satisfaction, the Meng family will definitely reward him. I heard from Feng that Mucheng has a son? You should know what to do," said Meng Chuan coldly.

That old man understood immediately and indicated that someone was already seeing to it.

Meanwhile, at the HR department of Ivy Logistics, Mucheng had just received a dismissal notice from her superior at the end of the workday.

She stormed into the office of the HR department director and questioned him, "Mr. Li, why? Why am I being dismissed? I need one good reason!"

"Relax, Mucheng. Take a seat first and have some tea," said the middle-aged, slightly bald man who was seated at his desk and smiling at Mucheng. "Hmm... You're indeed very beautiful. No wonder Mr. Meng takes a liking to you." Li He studied Mucheng carefully before sighing to himself.

"I don't want to drink it! I only want to know why?" questioned Mucheng again as she pushed the tea away.

Li He seemed impervious to her fury and said calmly, "Mucheng, Mr. Meng is interested in you. Are you aware of that? Your posters are all over the streets of Livingsfill."

Mucheng had no wish to talk about Meng Chuan. All she wanted to know was why she had been terminated. "That's my personal life. I just want to discuss work-related matters."

Mucheng had been working in that company for quite a while now, and she had always been hardworking. Her efforts had finally paid off, and she was promoted to the management level a few days ago. She was also happy with the salary increment.

Little did she realize that she would be asked to leave after a few days.

There was no way Mucheng could accept it.

She felt that her prior hard work had all gone down the drain.

"You're right. Your love life is indeed your private matter. But, the moment your private matter has something to do with the Meng family, then it's no longer private anymore. It concerns the survival of the company! Mucheng, do you know who Mr. Meng is? His dad is Meng Wanjun, the richest man in Jiangbei. The Meng family is also a prominent family in Jiangbei. It will be appropriate to say that he's the king of this city. His son, who is interested in you, is naturally the prince of Jiangbei! You are from Jiangdong. Even though Jiangdong is different now, you should be aware of how powerful Mr. Chu is in Jiangdong. He's a man of his words and well respected by all. As for the Meng family in Jiangbei, they are the equivalent of Mr. Chu in Jiangdong! You will certainly rise to glory if you are with Mr. Meng, and Ivy Logistics will benefit from our association with you. But now, I heard that you are planning to reject Mr. Meng. You don't have to care about your own future, but I can't allow the company to get dragged down because of you. As such, we are very sorry, Mucheng. There are hundreds of employees in our company. We can't very well offend Mr. Meng because of you, can we?" stated Li He.

When Mucheng heard that, she kept quiet.

All of a sudden, an immense feeling of helplessness came over her.

Perhaps, that was the presence of the rich and powerful.

In the past, when they were in Jiangdong, Mucheng was in the same position as Meng Chuan.

However, back then, Mucheng did not think too much about her high status.

Now that she was of lower status, Mucheng realized that the commoners were nothing when they were faced with the rich and powerful.

Meng Chuan had not done anything yet, but the pressure coming from him was apparent in all aspects of her life.

She felt she could barely breathe.
