A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 414 Exactly Who Are You?
Ye Fan had finished cooking by the time Qiu Mu-Cheng came back from work. "Mu-Cheng, why so late today?" asked Ye Fan casually from the dining table.
In theory, Qiu Mu-Cheng probably had nothing else to deal with after seeing off the guests who came to the opening ceremony.
But Ye Fan didn't think that Qiu Mu-Cheng would only get home after 8:00 pm.
"A few clients came in the afternoon wanting to work with Mufan Real Estate, so I came back a little later," replied Qiu Mu-Cheng as she had dinner.
Han Li and Qiu Lei were so delighted to hear the news that before Ye Fan responded, they quickly laughed and interrupted him.
"Haha!"
"That's good news."
"It's just the first day of operation, and business is already knocking on your doors. From now on, there will probably be countless CEOS fighting to do business with us, right?
Han Li continued to say excitedly, "I just knew that we should have made Mufan Real Estate's opening a grand affair. Everyone will know about the company, and business will naturally come knocking on our doors now that the company has made a name for itself. Now we can just sit at home and wait to count money, right? But Mu-Cheng, how did you manage to invite all these huge big shots like Mayor Wu to the company? Why didn't you tell us that you knew Mayor Wu?"
Mufan Real Estate's opening ceremony really put their family in the limelight.
But Han Li and Qiu Lei couldn't help feeling curious about how their daughter managed to pull it off?
Lei Ao-Ting and Wang Yu-Chen might have come because her daughter was pretty, but what about Wu Wei-Tao and Wang Dong-Lai?
They couldn't possibly fancy her daughter, right?
Han Li and Qiu Lei spent a long time thinking about it after they went home but couldn't come up with a plausible reason. Now that Qiu Mu-Cheng was home, Han Li naturally asked her about it.
But Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head as she said, "I don't know either. It's my first time meeting Mayor Wu today."
What?
"Oh, so you don't know Mayor Wu at all?" asked Han Li instantly in astonishment. Han Li was hoping Qiu Mu-Cheng could ask Mayor Han to find them jobs as a director, bureau chief, or something along those lines.
But from the looks of it now, their hopes were dashed once more.
"That's strange. If Mayor Wu didn't come to support you or us, he surely couldn't have come for that good-for-nothing, right?" said Han Li. Everyone turned to look at Ye
Fan in unison.
Ye Fan acted as though he didn't hear their conversation. He continued looking down as he concentrated on eating dinner. Then he smacked his lips every now and then and sighed, "Dinner tastes great. Have more, Mu-Cheng."
Qiu Mu-Cheng rolled her eyes. She thought Ye Fan must be pretending that he didn't hearthem, so she instantly glared at him and said, "Don't change the subject. We're talking to you. Did those guests at the opening ceremony come because of you today?"
There were many times when Qiu Mu-Cheng felt that Ye Fan was keeping some secrets from them.
At the Han family's birthday banquet, many important men from Jiangdong came to visit him, just like what happened today.
Then Su Qian told her Ye Fan used to work for big shots and those people did Ye Fan a favor so that he would continue working forthem.
But what about now?
Would Wu Wei-Tao and Wang Dong-Lai congratulate Ye Fan and support the opening ceremony if he was really just a lackey who worked for them? Also, why was Ye Fan in Han Dong-Min's car at the Entrepreneurs' Dinner?
Was Han Dong-Min really just returning a favor to Ye Fan?
Too many doubts hovered over Qiu Mu-Cheng's heart.
So her shiny eyes remind were glued on the man before her.
Ye Fan, who are you?
Ye Fan merely shook his head and smiled when Qiu Mu-Cheng questioned him and acted like he knew nothing.
"How would I know if they came because of me? You should ask them instead." "You..." Ye Fan's disinterested attitude made Qiu Mu-Cheng somewhat angry.
Just as Qiu Mu-Cheng was about to continue interrogating Ye Fan, Han Li interrupted, "Hey, Mu-Cheng. What's the point of asking that useless man? Do you really think he's a big shot just because Mayor Wu called him Mr Ye and congratulated him? He only enjoyed that treatment because of you. If he wasn't legally your husband, do you think anyone would have cared about him today?"
Han Li glanced at Ye Fan before shaking her head and laughing in disdain.
There was no way on earth Han Li and Qiu Lei would believe that those important men came because of Ye Fan.
After all, that wouldn't make sense at all.
Ye Fan was a farmer and wasn't good at anything at all. The only thing he could be proud of was marrying a wife as beautiful as Qiu Mu-Cheng.
So Han Li felt that Lei Ao-Ting, Wang Dong-Lai and the others were only respectful to Ye Fan because of her daughter.
Moreover, weren't they equally respectful to herself and Qiu Lei? Even Lei Ao-Ting was especially warm and friendly when he kept calling her 'auntie'. Although Lei Ao-Ting slapped Han Li, she didn't put much thought into it. She only thought that Lei Ao-Ting only slapped her out of shock.
After all, so many policemen swarmed in, and even Han Li was so frightened that she wanted to crawl under the table.
So it was all very clear to her.
The only person who was capable enough was her daughter, Qiu Mu-Cheng.
As the saying went, the moment someone found success, even his chickens and dogs became important.
And Ye Fan was a close relative no less.
With that in mind, she found it completely reasonable that all the guests treated Ye Fan with deference.
"Other than his brute strength, this live-in husband is probably no better than me. How could Mayor Wu have come to support him? You might as well say that he was there because of me! Mu-Cheng, I think Mayor Wu came because he noticed how talented you were and thinks highly of Mufan Real Estate's future. That's why he lowered himself to visit you and congratulate Mufan Real Estate. Mayor Wu even wrote couplets for you, 'add color to the country with great ambition and achievement!' He clearly thinks highly of you and has high hopes for you and wants you to be ambitious and have outstanding achievements! So Mu-Cheng, you must work hard and not let Mayor Wu down."
Han Li kept talking about her daughter and sounded particularly smug and proud.
Any parent would be proud if her daughter were as capable as Qiu Mu-Cheng.
But Ye Fan's eyes twitched as he listened to her.
Han Li had such a powerful imagination.
If he wrote Han Li an opening paragraph, she could almost finish writing a long novel with all this content.
But thanks to Han Li's twisted explanation, Ye Fan didn't have to put in as much effort explaining himself.
