Chapter 189: A Life of Luxury and Decadence

After learning from Ma Teng about Hu Yingluo, Xiao Yufan finally felt his heart settle. For some unknown reason, thinking of that girl brought a dull ache to his heart…

“If we are destined to meet again, I hope we won’t miss each other next time…”

Xiao Yufan’s gaze appeared somewhat vacant, his smile carrying a touch more anticipation. Although he didn’t know when they might meet again, Xiao Yufan firmly believed that certain connections couldn’t simply be severed.

As Huihuang gradually moved toward stability, fresh blood continuously flowed into the company, and the entire enterprise displayed a thriving, upward trend.

Lin Pingle’s promotion to public relations manager drew no complaints, as her demonstrated capabilities were more than sufficient for the position. At Huihuang, competence determined rank, showcased vividly.

With the assistance of Ma Teng and the former general manager of Huihuang, Xiao Yufan appeared quite at ease. Huihuang functioned like an endless money-making machine, slowly revealing its terrifying potential.

Nonetheless, Xiao Yufan understood that this tranquility was merely superficial. The reason nothing significant had happened yet was that the other branches of the Situ family didn’t consider Huihuang capable of creating much of a stir. However, when Huihuang truly threatened their interests, there was no guarantee they wouldn’t make a move…

Beijing’s largest bar, Yin Haixuan, located in the heart of the city, was a place where countless stories unfolded daily, making it the most bustling spot in the city center.

Sitting in a secluded corner, Xiao Yufan had once again arrived at this luxurious and indulgent place, though his mindset was now different from before. As he watched the crowd swaying around him, he couldn’t help but sigh at the changes in the world…

“What’s wrong? Has it really been so long that you don’t recognize me anymore?”

Seeing the figure approaching him, Xiao Yufan’s lips curled into a gentle smile. He didn’t need to guess to know who it was…

“Brother Fan? Is it really you…”

Approaching was none other than Fan Le, who now appeared extremely excited. For someone usually so calm and composed to display such emotion was quite unusual, drawing curious glances from many bar patrons.

“Could there really be anyone else? Even if someone looked like me, they couldn’t possibly match my level of handsomeness. After all, being this good-looking isn’t something easily imitated…”

Looking up, Xiao Yufan gazed at Fan Le, his eyes carrying an added touch of amusement. This fellow now seemed to be enjoying himself quite well, having even become the owner of Yin Haixuan. It seemed the Fan family’s operations in Beijing were by no means weak. No wonder his grandfather had shown slight surprise when discovering Fan Le’s family background…

“Am I dreaming? So the Huihuang director everyone’s been talking about in Beijing is actually you, Brother Fan!”

Fan Le immediately went to give Xiao Yufan a big hug, but was dodged by the latter, who had no intention of letting others assume he had such inclinations…

“Do I look like the kind of person who would allow such familiarity? Don’t just come hugging me like that. What would your many ‘big sisters’ think if they saw this?”

Feeling Fan Le’s emotions, Xiao Yufan could only shake his head with a smile. No matter what status Fan Le now held, it seemed those few friends had never truly left his side…

“I understand, I understand! I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t dreaming!”

Dodging Xiao Yufan’s stealthy kick, Fan Le finally confirmed that the person before him was indeed Xiao Yufan, who had been missing for a whole year…

Passersby watching Fan Le’s behavior were all speculating about Xiao Yufan’s identity. Whoever could earn such treatment from the young master of the Fan family couldn’t possibly be an ordinary person.

Xiao Yufan, however, paid no attention to their gazes, merely swirling the wine glass in his hand while wearing a calm smile on his lips. After all this time, this fellow hadn’t changed a bit…
