A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 366 Going for the Entrepreneurs' Dinner

"Manager Zhang, thanks a lot! You did Mufan Real Estate a huge favor! Thank you!" Qiu Mu-Cheng expressed her gratitude to Zhang Zheng-Fu as her heart was brimming with exhilaration. Qiu Mu-Cheng had already given up.

But she didn't think that a single call from Zhang Zheng-Fu could turn the tables in her favor. Now the annual meeting would proceed as planned, and Mayor Han even called personally to invite her over. Qiu Mu-Cheng recalled how Ye Fan played her out last night. Zhang Zheng-Fu was undoubtedly far more reliable in comparison to Ye Fan.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't blame Ye Fan since his family were farmers and destined never to enjoy as much respect or be as capable. Instead, she was annoyed that Ye Fan fooled her and kept her up for nothing last night.

Zhang Zheng-Fu was a little confused as he looked at how excited Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian became.

He was clearly lost. What just happened here?

Didn't his father refuse to help him? Why did he agree and even get Han Dong-Min to call personally?

"Was Dad just sounding harsh but helped me to settle the matter secretly even though he said he wouldn't? To think Mayor Han even called personally. He must hold Dad in high regard," thought Zhang Zheng- Fu as he became instantly delighted at how much his father doted on him.

After thinking things through, Zhang Zheng-Fu cleared his throat and said calmly in a pretentious tone, "Miss Qiu, it's nothing, don't mention it. I'm happy to help."

"Young Master Zhang, you're incredible. You settled it all with a single phone call. Now the dinner is proceeding as planned, and Mayor Han even notified us personally. You sure command a lot of respect," Su Qian applauded Zhang Zheng-Fu nonstop. The more Su Qian thought about it, the more amazed she was.

Zhang Zheng-Fu waved his hand and said composedly, "It's nothing. It's my Dad who commands respect since he's a little famous in the business circles, so such things are nothing to him. I can't do the same as I'm just an unimportant employee."

He was just being pretentious.

Although Zhang Zheng-Fu worded it modestly, he sounded inflated.

Su Qian was impressed and muttered to Qiu Mu-Cheng and told her to seize the opportunity.

"Young Master Zhang is talented and comes from an influential family. Guys like him are a million times better than the likes of Ye Fan. Aren't you tempted at all? Mu-Cheng, take it from me, I can tell Young Master Zhang likes you. You should hang out with him more and try to make things between the two of you happen," persuaded Su Qian softly to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Qiu Mu-Cheng glared at her instead and said, "Qianqian, what are you saying? Why are you just like my mum? I'll repeat myself - I have no intention of divorcing Ye Fan."

"You..." said Su Qian angrily.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Qian decided Qiu Mu-Cheng probably didn't know him well enough, and Qiu Mu-Cheng might change her mind in time.

Meanwhile.

Han Dong-Min had finally found Ye Fan. He kept apologizing bitterly nonstop to Ye Fan with a sorry look on his face.

After witnessing Ye Fan's ability, Han Dong-Min lost all the stern airs he had when he scolded Ye Fan previously. Instead, he lowered himself like a terrified servant who had gotten into huge trouble. Ye Fan coldly smiled when he saw how terrified Han Dong-Min was and sneered, "Mayor Han, what's gotten into you? Where did all your sense of authority go? Didn't you call me out for my audacity and threaten to throw me into jail for the rest of my life? Why the swift change in attitude?"

Although Ye Fan smiled calmly, the hint of coldness in his tone struck terror in Han Dong-Min.

There was a look of regret on Han Dong-Min's face. The moment he heard Ye Fan say this, he was so terrified that he almost cried as he said, "Master Ye, you're teasing me. I really know I was wrong. I spoke arrogantly to Master Ye because I was blinded by an evil man. Otherwise, I would never have the nerve to claim you were audacious. Master Ye saved me in my time of need with your keen eye and gave me a new lease of life. If I didn't get misled, I would never have become an ingrate and maliciously slander you."

Han Dong-Min sounded bitter and absolutely sincere as he was truly apologetic and regretful about what he did to Ye Fan.

Since Ye Fan could see how sincere Han Dong-Min's apology was, he stopped making things difficult for him.

"Alright, I won't pursue the matter anymore since you are sincerely sorry. But I hope there won't be a second time. Or else, you won't be able to withstand its consequences. Do you understand?" said Ye Fan calmly while a sense of authority emanated from his words.

Chilly winds gusted by Yunwu lake.

Han Dong-Min immediately nodded nonstop and agreed.

He genuinely respected Ye Fan wholly now. After all, the man had a shocking amount of influence!

"Have you notified Mu-Cheng about the dinner?" asked Ye Fan.

Han Dong-Min nodded and replied, "I have notified her just like Master Ye requested. It will start at 7PM at the Yunzhou Expo. Here are the tickets."

Han Dong-Min handed the tickets to Ye Fan before leaving.

Han Dong-Min only heaved a long sigh of relief on this way home.

He didn't know why, but he kept feeling an intense pressure hovering over him when he saw Ye Fan.

Han Dong-Min couldn't help but quake in fear at Ye Fan's authority and temperament. How could Ye Fan be only a 20 something year old youth?

"Looks like it's about time I meet up with Master Li Er and find out more about Master Ye's background," thought Han Dong-Min in his heart. The day passed quickly.

At 5PM, Qiu Mu-Cheng finished work early and headed downstairs with Su Qian.

Zhang Zheng-Fu said he had to go home for the tickets and would pick them up in a moment.

Meanwhile, Ye Fan had changed into the suit Qiu Mu-Cheng had bought him previously and prepared to pick her up for the Entrepreneurs' Dinner taking place later that night. He had the ticket that Han Dong- Min gave him in his hand.

Although there was only one ticket, a single ticket was enough for Qiu Mu-Cheng and him since such tickets allowed two other family members to attend the dinner as well.

But after waiting for a long time until it was almost 6PM, Qiu Mu-Cheng had yet to come home.

"What happened? Did the woman work until she forgot about it?"

Ye Fan was losing his patience. In his view, Qiu Mu-Cheng had to come home for the tickets even if she didn't want to bring him along.

It was almost 7PM and Qiu Mu-Cheng still wasn't home, so Ye Fan couldn't help worrying.

Ye Fan went straight to Qiu Mu-Cheng's office to pick her up out of concern.

Zhang Zheng-Fu had just driven back to the office after he went home for the tickets when Ye Fan arrived.

"Miss Qiu, mind your head," cautioned Zhang Zheng-Fu in a gentlemanly manner as he opened the car door for Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Thank you," replied Qiu Mu-Cheng politely before taking a seat.

Su Qian was about to get into the car too when she turned to see Ye Fan running over from a distance. "Darn, what is that country bumpkin doing here?" asked Su Qian contemptuously as her eyes twitched. "Su Qian, where's Mu-Cheng? Where has she gone?" asked Ye Fan anxiously.
