A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 365 Young Master Zhang Is Incredible!

This extraordinarily dashing man with an elegant demeanor was none other than Zhang Xiao-Song's youngest son, Zhang Zheng-Fu.

Zhang Zheng-Fu had always admired Qiu Mu-Cheng. But ever since Ye Fan displayed his prowess by getting Han Dong-Min to personally come over and bow to him when Wang Xing-Duo attempted to close down the office, Zhang Zheng-Fu stopped having any wishful thinking about her.

After all, this husband of Qiu Mu-Cheng's must be an influential man if the mayor of Yunzhou treated him so deferentially. Wouldn't it be suicidal to harbor designs on his wife?

After finding out more, Zhang Zheng-Fu realized he was overthinking it. Ye Fan wasn't an important man at all and this all happened because Han Dong-Min owed Ye Fan a favor.

Now that Han Dong-Min had returned the favor, there was nothing to tie them together, and they were back to being strangers. Han Dong-Min was still the deputy mayor, while Ye Fan was the same old live-in husband.

So when Zhang Zheng-Fu discovered the truth, he lost all apprehension and started courting Qiu Mu-Cheng again.

Since Qiu Mu-Cheng looked so dejected, Zhang Zheng-Fu naturally tried to worm his way in.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng always treated Zhang Zheng-Fu coldly as though she was deliberately keeping a distance like she was now. She kept telling him she was fine and that he should focus on work. The moment Su Qian caught sight of this, she seemed to understand what was going on. Then she smiled and asked Zhang Zheng-Fu, "Manager Zhang, you have an outstanding demeanor. Are you from an elite family?"

Zhang Zheng-Fu shook his head modestly as he said, "My father is Zhang Xiao-Song. Although my family is barely influential, we are doing well."

"Zhang Xiao-Song? Why does this name sound so familiar?" asked Su Qian as she frowned perplexedly. Then she furtively searched on the internet with her phone.

After Su Qian saw Zhang Xiao-Song's biography online, her beautiful eyes instantly looked startled. She said, "Is...is your father the Zhang Xiao-Song who was ordered to save a billion dollar government enterprise that was facing a crisis and revitalized it with only $100,000? Heavens, not bad, Chengcheng! Why didn't you tell me sooner about this Young Master hiding in your company? Young Master Zhang's background can rival your brother-in-law, Chu Wen-Fei."

Su Qian's impression of Zhang Zheng-Fu immediately changed after she learned of his background.

"That's enough, Qianqian. Watch your image. If that's all, you can go. I won't be sending you off. I have to get back to work," said Qiu Mu-Cheng in disinterest. No matter how powerful Zhang Zheng-Fu's background was, it had nothing to do with her.

Qiu Mu-Cheng disliked his father, Zhang Xiao-Song, even more.

The old geezer conned her into joining Mufan Real Estate and left her in the lurch. To put it nicely, all he did was send his son to represent him wholly.

Zhang Xiao-Song continued being the CEO of the government enterprise and he was usually so busy that Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't get in touch with him at all. Zhang Xiao-Song didn't even plan to attend Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony as he was going overseas for an inspection and couldn't get back in time.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng thought it would be for the best if Zhang Xiao-Song remained hands-off about managing the company as it gave her more opportunities to develop the business. Otherwise she might be curtailed in various aspects and end up being just a pretty vase in the company.

"That's all? What do you mean, that's all? Don't you want the tickets for the Entrepreneurs' Dinner? Manager Zhang's father is the CEO of a government enterprise and works in the government sector too. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to get us a few tickets from the provincial office using his connections?" said Su Qian to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head instead and said, "I won't be going. Since it has met with a seven day delay, there's no point for me to go."

Zhang Zheng-Fu overheard their conversation and instantly realized what they were fretting over. Then he said, "Does Miss Qiu want to attend the Yunzhou Entrepreneurs' Dinner this year?" "Don't worry, I'll settle it for you," said Zhang Zheng-Fu as he patted his chest confidently.

Qiu Mu-Cheng wanted to stop him and turn down his offer as she didn't want to go for the dinner anymore.

But Zhang Zheng-Fu would hear nothing of it. Instead, he thought Qiu Mu-Cheng was just being polite. Zhang Zheng-Fu certainly wasn't going to pass up on the opportunity to gain Qiu Mu-Cheng's favor.

So Zhang Zheng-Fu called his father right away.

But Zhang Xiao-Song hung up because he was in the middle of a meeting.

"What's going on?" said Zhang Zheng-Fu as he instantly frowned.

"Manager Zhang, how did it go? Did you get the tickets?" asked Su Qian quizzically.

"Oh no, there's nothing to worry about. Since I promised Miss Qiu to get the tickets, I will definitely get them. There's nothing to fear."

Since the woman he fancied was right here looking at him, he had to get the tickets. He already acted as though it was a piece of cake, so it would be a disgrace if he failed.

So Zhang Zheng-Fu called once more, but Zhang Xiao-Song hung up on him again.

"That's odd. Why does Dad keep hanging up on me?"

Zhang Zheng-Fu became so anxious that he called seven or eight times in a row before his father finally picked up.

"Dad, you've finally picked up my call. Hurry up and get me a few tickets for the Entrepreneurs' Dinner. Miss Qiu and I..."

But before Zhang Zheng-Fu could finish his sentence, Zhang Xiao-Song became so furious that he scolded his son lividly over the phone without restraint and shouted, "You brat! Why keep calling me while I'm having a meeting? How dare you call asking for tickets? Go mind your own business. Do you have any place at the Entrepreneurs' Dinner? What else can you do there other than embarrass me? I'm going to get you when I come back!"

Zhang Xiao-Song was furious. He was in the middle of his meeting when this unfilial son of his kept calling. Was his son trying to call back the spirit of the dead?

Zhang Xiao-Song was so angry with Zhang

Zheng-Fu that he hung up immediately after reprimanding him.

"How did it go, Manager Zhang? Did it work out?" asked Su Qian eagerly as she blinked her beautiful eyes after Zhang Zheng-Fu hung up the phone.

Qiu Mu-Cheng looked over too.

"Erm," said Zhang Zheng-Fu awkwardly. He didn't know how to explain himself.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's phone suddenly rang.

"What? An unknown number?"

"Who is this?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng quizzically after she answered it right away.

"Hi, is this Miss Qiu Mu-Cheng?" asked the man with his voice trembling while he panicked a little.

"You are...?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng even more perplexedly.

"This is Han Dong-Min. Erm, Miss Qiu, my apologies for getting in touch with you so late. Tonight at 7PM, I hope you can attend the Entrepreneurs' Dinner at Yunzhou Expo," said Han Dong-Min ingratiatingly. "What? Tonight? Didn't the dinner get delayed?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng in surprise.

"There were some changes, so the annual meeting will be held according to the plan.

I hope you can join us."

"Really? That's great! Thank you, Mayor Han!" said Qiu Mu-Cheng. She was instantly delighted.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't expect all the twists and turns it would take before she could attend the annual meeting.

Fortunately, it all turned out well.

"Also, may I ask if Master Ye is with you now?"

"No, he isn't. He's probably at home."

Although Qiu Mu-Cheng was unaware of why Han Dong-Min asked where Ye Fan was, she didn't ask further as she was completely immersed in the joy that she could go for the Entrepreneurs' Dinner. Qiu Mu-Cheng hung up the phone very quickly.

"Chengcheng, who was it? Why are you so happy?" asked Su Qian curiously.

Qiu Mu-Cheng told Su Qian what Han Dong-Min said.

Su Qian was surprised too. "Good god, did Mayor Han inform you personally? Young Master Zhang is incredible! I begged my Dad all day, and it didn't work. I didn't think Young Master Zhang could set it all up with a single call and even change the date. Young Master Zhang must be highly respected! Mu-Cheng, hurry up and thank Young Master Zhang. How could you attend it if not for him?"
