Just when Chen Fan and Wei Jingxiong thought they were in danger from an assassin, a funny scene unfolded.
"Idol, my idol, I finally see you…"
A dark figure rushed over and threw itself on the ground, hugging Chen Fan's thigh and speaking excitedly.
After recognizing who the chubby person was, Wei Jingxiong said, "Zhu Hongyi?"
"Hello, Mr. Wei."
Zhu Hongyi turned to greet Wei Jingxiong while still hugging Chen Fan's thigh.
"Zhu Hongyi, are you from the wealthy Zhu family?" Chen Fan asked, looking at Zhu Hongyi.
"Yes, idol," Zhu Hongyi replied, looking at Chen Fan with admiration and nodding repeatedly.
"What an idol! Please get up first," Chen Fan said, feeling particularly awkward being held by a man on his thigh.
"Good…"
As soon as the idol spoke, Zhu Hongyi immediately stood up and straightened his clothes.
"Hello, idol, I am Zhu Hongyi, a direct descendant of the Zhu family. I admire you very much and want to be your little brother. I hope you won't refuse," Zhu Hongyi stated seriously.
"Be my younger brother? If I remember correctly, you and Chen Yicui were together, right?" Chen Fan replied, recalling that he had seen Zhu Hongyi and Chen Yicui together.
"That… idol, I was deceived by Chen Yicui's green tea act before. That's why I was so blind that I bumped into you, idol. I'm really sorry," Zhu Hongyi said, bowing to Chen Fan to express his apology.
"Just accept me as your little brother," Zhu Hongyi said sincerely.
Seeing this scene, Wei Jingxiong had a higher opinion of Zhu Hongyi. This guy had good insight; now he knew how to get close to Mr. Chen.
"Be my little brother?" Chen Fan replied. "I don't plan to take on a younger brother for the time being."
Chen Fan refused. He didn't know this Zhu Hongyi. He had just seen him with Chen Yicui, and he was even a direct member of the wealthy Zhu family.
Such a person suddenly wanting to be his little brother raised suspicion about his purpose.
After being rejected by Chen Fan, Zhu Hongyi suddenly wilted and felt particularly lost.
Chen Fan and Wei Jingxiong said their goodbyes and left, leaving Zhu Hongyi and Wei Jingxiong behind.
Seeing Zhu Hongyi's expression, Wei Jingxiong couldn't help but say something.
"Boy, you have good insight to know Mr. Chen's worth, but wanting to be someone's little brother requires more than just words. When you visited me before, you always brought various expensive gifts. Now, you want to be Mr. Chen's little brother? You need to show something to earn that."
"Others might see you as a direct descendant of the Zhu family, but your status is worthless in front of Mr. Chen."
"Um?!"
Hearing what Wei Jingxiong said, Zhu Hongyi suddenly realized the truth.
Indeed, he wanted to be someone's younger brother, but he had only said that without any real actions or expressions. He needed to do something to earn the approval of his idol.
"Thank you, Mr. Wei, for the reminder. Thank you…" Zhu Hongyi said, bowing to Wei Jingxiong before leaving in a hurry.
Since there was a conflict between his idol and the Chen family, Zhu Hongyi knew what he needed to do.
"This kid has a future," Wei Jingxiong muttered softly.
Meanwhile, Chen Yicui returned to the Chen family, seeking help from other members.
But when Chen Yicui arrived, she still didn't see Mr. Chen.
"Fourth uncle, where is grandpa? I've been here several times, but why is grandpa not here?" Chen Yicui asked a fat middle-aged man in the Chen household.
Chen Jinping, a fat middle-aged man and Mr. Chen's fourth son, was one of the core figures of the Chen family. He was very popular with Mr. Chen.
"Oh, your grandfather and your uncle went out of town on business. They will probably be gone for a few days," Chen Jinping replied.
"Going to another place?"
Chen Yicui felt a bit disappointed.
"By the way, Yicui, it seems you have something wrong. What's the matter?" Chen Jinping asked.
"Oh, Fourth Uncle, I just met Chen Fan again. I wanted to punish him, but he slapped me in the face," Chen Yicui said sheepishly.
"It's Chen Fan, that little beast again!" Chen Jinping's face darkened.
"Let's do this: Yicui, go find Xingrong and ask him to help you vent your anger. At the same time, let Xingrong punish Chen Fan severely and force him to marry the young lady of the Xu family," Chen Jinping said.
Chen Xingrong, the eldest son of Chen Jinping, was the leader of the younger generation of the Chen family. Among the dozen or so younger members, he ranked among the top. Chen Xingrong was tall, nearly 1.9 meters, and had very good skills. Currently, he was already one of the leaders of an underground force in Jiangzhou, with nearly a hundred subordinates and considerable success.
"Let Brother Xingrong come forward?"
Hearing what her fourth uncle said, Chen Yicui suddenly became excited.
"You and Xingrong should try to resolve the problem with this little beast, Chen Fan, as soon as possible. Wait for your grandfather to return in a few days and give him a surprise," Chen Jinping said.
His main purpose was to let his son show off and win the old man's respect.
Chen Jinping was very confident in his son's methods.
With his son's ability, teaching Chen Fan a lesson would be a dimensionality reduction attack!!!
"Okay, Fourth Uncle, I'll remember that." Chen Yicui nodded.
If Brother Xingrong showed up, Chen Fan would probably be scared silly!!!
After that, Chen Yicui left excitedly to find her cousin, Chen Xingrong.
Twenty minutes later, Chen Fan arrived at Wangjiang Pavilion.
Today, Jiang Hao, the largest shareholder of Tengfei Group, invited Chen Fan to dinner in a private room of Wangjiang Pavilion.
When Chen Fan arrived, Jiang Hao and his confidant, Zheng Xingde, the current president of Tengfei Group, were already waiting.
After they got acquainted, Jiang Hao went straight to the point.
"Mr. Chen, do you know that you have offended Feng Yanli?"
"Offended Feng Yanli?" Chen Fan raised his eyebrows, genuinely unaware of this.
Jiang Hao asked Zheng Xingde to explain the cause and effect of the situation to Chen Fan.
"This morning, Feng Yanli came to see me and wanted me to cooperate with him to deal with you, Mr. Chen," Jiang Hao added.
"He wanted me to join hands with him to kick you out of the company."
"Really? What does Mr. Jiang plan to do?" Chen Fan asked back.
Jiang Hao had approached him, clearly with other intentions in mind!
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen is indeed a smart man," Jiang Hao laughed.
"I do have other ideas. Feng Yanli and I have always been at odds. Instead of working with him, I'd rather work with you. But…"
Halfway through, Jiang Hao suddenly stopped and looked at Chen Fan meaningfully.
