A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 951 Are You Nuts?

But Chen Nan had no answer for Kong Hui's question.

Chen Nan wanted to say that her Fan was very formidable and was the king of Jiangdong. Many rich and powerful men bowed and listened to him.

But she didn't manage to say any of these words in the end.

Kong Hui was right. They were in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. It was one of the top ten cities of the world.

Even Kong Hui looked down on a place like Jiangdong, so it couldn't be compared to Tokyo at all.

In fact, the people of Tokyo had probably never even heard of Jiangdong.

There was always something better and someone more powerful out there after all.

The King of Jiangdong was king within Jiangdong, but once he was in a place with way more rich and powerful people like Tokyo, then he was nothing.

Chen Nan didn't say any more.

She looked at Ye Fan and whispered, "Fan, why don't we switch? I'll stay in the staff room."

Ye Fan just smiled quietly. "It's fine. It's just a place to sleep for the night, so it doesn't matter where I stay. Professor An is right. Hilton is a five star hotel, so even the staff rooms are better than the hotel rooms of some hotels out there, so I'm not really losing out or anything."

Ye Fan continued to smile faintly and nobody knew if Ye Fan was saying these words sincerely or sarcastically.

But besides Chen Nan, nobody else in this group cared about what Ye Fan thought.

They just treated him as an insignificant person. If not for Chen Nan, someone dressed like Ye Fan would probably be barred from even entering the hotel.

After getting the room keys, Ye Fan followed the rest of them to where the party was held.

The luxurious hall was opulently decorated.

The crystal chandelier was shining radiantly.

Melodious tunes were being played in the hall.

There was delicious food placed on the tables around the hall.

Many handsome men and pretty women were dancing in the dance floor in the middle.

The atmosphere in the hall was relaxed and pleasant.

It was clear that the organizer of the party hadn't arrived yet, so all the guests were just chatting among themselves.

Chen Nan and the rest quickly found a table and sat down.

"Wow...that old man with a moustache is the deputy chairman of Yasuda Group, right? The last time he came to China, Yanjing treated him like royalty."

"Oh my god! Isn't that our ambassador to Japan? He must be very high ranking in our government, right? I can't believe he's here too!"

"Professor An, it looks like this Abe family is really powerful in Japan!"

Ye Fan quietly drank his tea at the table.

He never drank alcohol because Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't like him to drink, so he would always order a pot of tea at such parties. Today was no exception.

The warm steam and the fragrance of the tea had a calming effect on him.

Kong Hui didn't just sit around and do nothing. After taking a seat, she started to observe the guests around them.

She intended to do her PhD in Japan, so she kept an eye on some of the happenings in Japan.

She could recognize all the people who were famous in the country at one glance.

Professor An nodded.

"Of course. The Abe family is one of the five conglomerates that control Japan, and they've had members in the government for many generations! The current leader of the country is also from this family. The number of resources and accumulated wealth that this century old aristocratic family has is more than you can even imagine. The head of the Abe family is the one who organized tonight's party, so it's only natural that the richest and most powerful people are in attendance," said Professor An in a deep voice.

Kong Hui was more and more astonished as she heard what her professor said. She didn't know that the Abe family they wanted to work with this time was actually so powerful.

The main sponsor of the research project that Professor An wanted to undertake was the Abe family's business.

"Well, all this is really thanks to Hao-Nan. If Hao-Nan had not helped me to make this connection, it would be impossible for the Abe family to invest in our project. Hao-Nan, I would like to make a toast to you," said Professor An as he raised a glass towards Liang Hao-Nan.

"Oh my, Professor An, you're being too polite. I'm only doing what a student ought to," said Liang Hao-Nan as he laughed merrily. But he was really feeling terribly smug that his supervisor was giving him a toast.

"Hui, you've found a really good husband. After marrying Hao-Nan, you can sit back and enjoy life. Hao-Nan's family is in Yanjing, so they're really powerful, right? When are the two of you getting married? Remember to invite me to your wedding banquet!" Professor An laughed brightly.

After that, Professor An turned to Chen Nan.

"Nannan, I'm most worried about you out of all my students. Kong Hui and the rest are from Yanjing, but you're the only one from a small city. You're very pretty, but you don't have good connections and you're very inexperienced, so you're easily fooled by others."

Tve always been worried that you might meet someone with ill intentions, and that's why I keep wanting to introduce my nephew to you. My nephew looks very energetic, is from a good family and owns severa houses in Yanjing, so I still think the two of you are very compatible."

"In the past, I thought that you rejected my nephew because you had very high standards. But it seems like I'm wrong after all. It's not that your standards are high, but you have unique standards." Professor An spoke jokingly, but it was obvious that he looked down on Ye Fan.

After all, he couldn't see how this young man here was anywhere as good as his own nephew.

His nephew was 1.85 meters tall and good looking. He majored in film studies, which was an industry that valued good looks, so she couldn't turn him down based on his looks.

His family background was even more impressive. Yanjing was a place where the houses cost nearly $10 million, but his nephew owned a few houses. He also drove a Mercedes-Benz that cost more than $500,000 when he went to university.

Professor An really liked Chen Nan very much.

If his son weren't already married, he would have insisted on making her his daughter-in-law.

Thankfully, he had a nephew around her age, so he kept hoping that Chen Nan could marry his nephew and become part of the An family.

But someone of this standard suddenly appeared out of nowhere, so Professor An was very displeased.

"Professor, we shouldn't judge a book by its cover. For all you know, Ye Fan might actually be someone really powerful, right? Ye Fan?" asked Liang Hao-Nan with a laugh.

Judging from Ye Fan's dressing, he looked nothing like a man from a rich and powerful family.

But since he could win Chen Nan's heart, they were sure that there must be something extraordinary about him.

So Liang Hao-Nan thought that Ye Fan's family background was probably amazing, but Ye Fan dressed casually because he wanted to remain low profile.

But to their surprise, Ye Fan shook his head and replied, 'Tm sorry to disappoint you, but I come from a very ordinary family. My ancestors were farmers in a village, so I'm not from a rich and powerful family." "Wait, what?! Farmers in a village? You're the son of a farmer? Are you serious? Nannan, are you nuts?" Kong Hui was so

shocked that she started exclaiming.
