A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 379 Li Er in a Panic

The Qiu family eagerly prepared for the ribbon-cutting ceremony that was happening the next day.

In the Han residence, Han Dong-Min threw a fit when he saw the news all over the screen.

"Damn! What on earth have you done? Didn't I tell you to contain what happened at the dinner last night? How did the news end up spreading? You can't even get this one tiny thing right. What use are you to me?" said Han Dong-Min with his face livid. He was furious as he reprimanded both his men.

He had personally instructed them last night to get it done properly.

After all, Qiu Mu-Cheng was Ye Fan's wife, and Ye Fan was very insanely protective of her.

If Qiu Mu-Cheng's reputation were destroyed, Ye Fan would probably take it out on Han Dong-Min.

Han Dong-Min was the organizer of the

Entrepreneurs' Dinner after all.

After what happened at the dinner, Han Dong-Min naturally wanted to keep the impact on Mufan Real Estate to a minimum.

But Han Dong-Min didn't expect that his greatest fear would come true.

The moment the incident last night became exposed, Qiu Mu-Cheng and Mufan Real Estate would lose all standing in Yunzhou. How could Han Dong-Min answer to Ye Fan?

"Mayor Han, we notified all the people who attended the dinner as you asked, and they promised not to divulge the incident." "We didn't expect someone would still leak this to a reporter."

Han Dong-Min's subordinates panicked as they hung their heads and explained in a bitter voice.

"Fine. Since it has already happened, it's no use scolding you now. Find out who had the balls to oppose my orders."

After Han Dong-Min dismissed them both, he paced around the room alone while he considered how best to explain things to Ye Fan.

Although Qiu Mu-Cheng's scandal had little to do with him, he was in charge of the event after all. Now that the media had reported the news, Han Dong-Min reckoned that Ye Fan probably had a poorer impression of him.

Han Shao-Jie came by looking for Han Dong-Min just as he was feeling depressed.

Han Dong-Min was having trouble relieving his depression, so he told Han Shao-Jie about the incident when he saw his son.

"Shao-Jie, you have known Master Ye for longer than I have. What do you think I can do now to give him a more favorable impression? I can't possibly visit him personally and apologize again, right?" Han Dong-Min had offended Ye Fan several times now, and now Ye Fan's wife had been disgraced on Han Dong-Min's territory, so of course Han Dong-Min was anxious.

Ye Fan was an important man, so it was best to forge a good relationship with him.

Han Shao-Jie gave it some thought before saying, "Dad, with every crisis comes opportunity. Although it is an awkward situation for you, it is a golden opportunity as well." "What do you mean?" asked Han Dong-Min perplexedly.

"After that incident last night, it is likely that no one will attend Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony tomorrow. What would Master Ye think if we supported his event and turned up with a big gift? We would be helping him in his hour of need! Then Master Ye would like the Han family more even if he isn't grateful for our gesture," said Han Shao-Jie slowly.

Han Dong-Min slapped his thigh once he heard his son say this, but Han Shao-Jie was the one who yelped in pain.

Han Dong-Min clearly slapped Han Shao-Jie's thigh instead.

"Son, that's an excellent idea! You have a better grasp of the situation. Why didn't I think of that? There's only half a day left before tomorrow comes, so we have to be quick. We have to prepare Master Ye's gif even if it takes all night."

Han Shao-Jie's words enlightened Han Dong-Min.

Then Han Dong-Min left with his son to prepare a gift without any delay.

Meanwhile.

At the Li residence in Yunzhou.

Li Er had finished lunch and was slowly pacing around in the courtyard. Jin Bao and Yin Bao stood side by side behind him as they read him that day's news.

It was Li Er's long time habit.

Every day after lunch, someone would read him the news while he went on walks.

Every man was responsible for the success and decline of their countries.

The higher one's position was, the more one understood how important current affairs were for his own personal development.

An insignificant piece of news might sometimes contain a billion dollar business opportunity.

"Has the price of pork gotten so high?

Sigh, this inflation makes life tough for the average citizens. Jin Bao, buy lots of pork, send it to my hometown in Xikou later and sell it at half price, okay?"

A rich man shouldn't forget his poor friends or divorce his wife after he became wealthy. Although Li Er rose meteorically, he didn't forget about the old friends in his hometown. He visited his relatives and old friends in Xikou every year whenever he had the time.

"Yes, Master Er," acknowledged Jin Bao respectfully.

After reading the national headlines, Yin Bao started reading the Yunzhou news aloud to Li Er.

Li Er immediately frowned when he heard the name Mufan Real Estate.

"What? Isn't that the company that Xu Lei helped Mr Chu set up?"

Li Er was aware of Mufan Real Estate since Ye Fan didn't attempt to keep it a secret.

Yin Bao continued reading.

"Mufan Real Estate is holding its opening ceremony on 11 th November. In order to satisfy her vanity, its CEO..." "Hold on. What did you just say? Is Mufan Real Estate holding an opening ceremony?" interrupted Li Er before Jin Bao finished reading it. Li Er was unable to stay calm as he hastily turned to ask Yin Bao.

"Yes, Master Er. The news says it's taking place on the 11th this month," replied Yin Bao truthfully.

Then Li Er nodded and said, "11th? Then it's still early."

"Master Er, it's happening real soon. It takes place tomorrow since today is the 10th," reminded Yin Bao.

"What? Tomorrow? Isn't today the 1 st?" asked Li Er as he almost leaped in shock instantly.

Then he realized that he had mixed up the dates and today was Monday and not the first of the month.

Li Er lost all composure.

"Quickly now. Get Xue-Qi, Xiaowu, and the others to come over for a family meeting," ordered Li Er immediately. He couldn't be

bothered to continue his stroll in the courtyard anymore.

"But Master Er, you have to attend a meeting with the board of directors in a moment. You'll be late..."

"Screw the directors! Cancel it! Cancel everything! You have to cancel all my meetings for tomorrow as well. No matter what happens, it can wait. Also, tell Xiaowu and the others, if they don't come down to the family conference room in 30 minutes, I will kick them out," shouted Li Er. Then he anxiously rushed over to the meeting room.

Li Er couldn't be blamed for his anxiety. Mufan Real Estate was Mr Chu's company after all.

The opening ceremony was such an important matter. So how could Li Er neglect it?
