A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 364 A Huge Misunderstanding

"Mayor Han? What is it? Did the provincial office call to rush you to prepare for the meeting? I just knew that country bumpkin was trying to pull a fast one. How could an unknown live-in husband convince the officials of Jianghai to change their minds? Did he plan on doing it with just his mouth? Mayor Han, you're too kind and trusting, but don't worry, I have your back! You can tell me anything. Since I'm your assistant, it's my job to counsel you and steer clear of unbecoming characters."

Meng Guang had just come out from the room with some documents, so he missed Han Dong-Min's phone call completely.

But it didn't matter as Meng Guang had a rough idea what the call was about. Their colleagues from the provincial office probably called to hasten Mayor Han about the preparation of the meeting. Meng Guang smiled ingratiatingly as he waited for Han Dong-Min to praise him.

But Han Dong-Min was too stunned, and his mind went blank after hanging up.

The moment he heard the way Meng Guang was waiting for his approval, Han Dong-Min kicked him furiously.

"Steer clear of unbecoming people? Unbecoming my ass! You fool! You got me into trouble! I was blind to believe a dumbass like you!"

Han Dong-Min was on the verge of crying, and his chest felt like exploding from anger!

He even wanted to slaughter Meng Guang now.

Han Dong-Min had just cleared the air with Ye Fan for their previous misunderstanding. All he had to do was quietly wait for the phone call and prepare for the Entrepreneurs' Dinner like Ye Fan said. But Han Dong-Min believed Meng Guang's nonsense when he sowed discord and misled him, so he ended up reprimanding Ye Fan over the phone.

Now he had really offended Ye Fan.

Han Dong-Min was so furious that he wanted to kick Meng Guang to death!

"Mayor Han, why are you hitting me? I...I don't get it," said Meng Guang quizzically after Han Dong-Min kicked him onto the ground again.

"What the hell! How can you bloody have the cheek to ask? What's with that indignant expression?" scolded Han Dong-Min as he gave Meng Guang a tight slap again. Han Dong-Min slapped him so hard that Meng Guang's face swelled straight away.

"Do you know that the Jiangdong provincial office gave us a direct order to delay the meeting just so that the Entrepreneurs' Dinner can proceed? They want us to hold the Entrepreneurs' Dinner first!"

BOOOM!

The news hit Meng Guang like a bolt of lightning and left him in a daze instantly.

His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief as he said, "Did...did...did he...he make this happen? But how...how can that be? This is impossible. How can a man with a lowly family background have the power to do this? How could he sway the Jiangdong provincial office?"

Meng Guang wasn't stupid. The moment he heard Han Dong-Min's words, Meng Guang recalled what Ye Fan said previously.

But it was inconceivable that Ye Fan could pull this off!

Meng Guang was still in shock while Han Dong-Min scolded him, "Does he sound like a country bumpkin or live-in husband to you? Even our superiors in Jianghai gave in to his request. Do you still think he's just pretending to be powerfully connected now? Do you still think he was simply lying earlier and just talking big? I must have been blind to believe an idiot like you!"

Han Dong-Min was so furious that he kicked Meng Guang again and sent him falling onto the ground.

But Han Dong-Min didn't have time to keep throwing his temper. Instead, he hastily told the driver to take him over to see Ye Fan.

There was a huge misunderstanding between them now as Han Dong-Min had just scolded Ye Fan over the phone. Han Dong-Min hoped that Ye Fan could be magnanimous and forgive him this once. Before Han Dong-Min left, he told Meng Guang to pack his things and get lost immediately.

"There's no place for you at the mayor's office! Don't ever let me see you again!"

VROOM!

After the car arrived, Han Dong-Min got in and left.

All that remained was Han Dong-Min's furious echoes.

Meng Guang slumped onto the ground like a paralyzed dog and was overwhelmed with sadness. Panic was written all over

his face.

Violent waves continued crashing in Meng Guang's heart.

It never dawned on him that the man with a lowly background whom he treated with contempt would be his grave digger.

Meng Guang spent his entire life rising to his current position.

But thanks to his ignorance and prejudice towards Ye Fan, his life's work was all wasted.

At Mufan Real Estate.

Qiu Mu-Cheng sat in the office and her heart was overwhelmed with anticipation as she waited for a call.

After arriving at the office this morning, Qiu Mu-Cheng contemplated for a long time. She felt that in order for the opening ceremony to be a success, she had to find a way to attend Yunzhou's Entrepreneurs'

Dinner.

She could only invite bigshots from Yunzhou's business circles if she managed to be a part of them.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng obviously couldn't count on Ye Fan anymore, and she was still annoyed that he played her out the night before.

So after pondering a long time, Qiu Mu-Cheng could only give her BFF a call. She hoped that Su Qian could help her get tickets for the Entrepreneurs' Dinner through her father's connections. The call finally came.

Qiu Mu-Cheng answered her phone immediately and quickly asked, "Qianqian, how did it go? Did you get hold of the tickets?"

Su Qian didn't answer right away. Instead, she told Qiu Mu-Cheng to come downstairs as she said, "I'm at your office." "Okay!" agreed Qiu Mu-Cheng immediately before racing downstairs. She asked Su Qian impatiently about the tickets the moment she saw Su Qian.

But Su Qian shook her head and said, "Mu-Cheng, sorry, but I couldn't get any tickets for the Entrepreneurs' Dinner. Also, it would be useless even if I did. Dad said the dinner has been postponed to seven days later. By then, your opening ceremony would be over."

What?

"Seven days later? Isn't it happening tonight?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng quizzically.

"I heard that the provincial leaders are using the site, so the Entrepreneurs' Dinner has to be delayed," explained Su Qian.

Qiu Mu-Cheng sighed disappointedly immediately as her hopes were undoubtedly dashed.

She wanted to attend the dinner to help Mufan Real Estate gain momentum and prepare for its opening ceremony.

But from the looks of it now, it was meaningless even if she went for the Entrepreneurs' Dinner.

"Miss Qiu, what's wrong? You look listless. What happened?" asked a dashing man dressed smartly in a suit, who had just come out of the office. The moment he saw how disappointed Qiu Mu-Cheng was, he walked over and asked with concern.

"It's nothing, Manager Zhang. There's nothing to trouble yourself over," replied Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Miss Qiu is such a rare beauty that it would be my honor to help. It won't be any trouble at all," said the handsome man calmly as he smiled warmly in a refined manner.
