At the celebration banquet, everyone’s mood was extremely high. Being seated here had already proven their capabilities, and being able to occupy a place in Huishui Group was, in their eyes, absolutely an honor…
“Come on, everyone, let’s toast the big boss! Without his wise leadership, Huishui Group would never have come this far today!”
Getting caught up in the moment, Lin Ping stood up, his gaze shifting to Xiao Yufan’s seat, and addressed the crowd. As the saying goes, heroes are hard to find without soulmates; he not only regarded Xiao Yufan as his superior but more importantly, as a friend.
“Can’t you act normal for once? Everyone, please, just take it easy…”
Xiao Yufan smiled and shook his head, not refusing. Looking at the people who had stood up, he slightly raised his glass. He showed no arrogance, appearing very amiable.
The atmosphere grew increasingly enthusiastic as time passed, and Xiao Yufan accepted every toast offered by individuals without hesitation.
“Chairman, let me toast you a glass, to repay your recognition of me back then…”
Just as Xiao Yufan finally had a brief pause, a voice came from behind him—it was Chen Xiaohua, the one who had left a deep impression on Xiao Yufan.
“Your abilities are evident to all. As long as someone is talented, Huishui Group will never miss out. I still feel quite fortunate about that decision I made back then…”
Xiao Yufan’s eyes revealed indescribable appreciation. Someone who could turn ten million into thirty million within three months was definitely a genius in the financial world. Xiao Yufan’s casual action back then had indeed brought such a talent to Huishui Group.
“If it weren’t for such a kind mentor, even if I had the will, I probably wouldn’t have made it this far. Therefore, I must offer this toast…”
Chen Xiaohua remained humble; no matter how capable he was, he knew he entirely relied on Huishui Group. Without this platform, he wouldn’t have been able to showcase his abilities to the fullest.
“You proved yourself with your abilities…” Without saying more, Xiao Yufan downed the glass in one go, seemingly savoring the lingering taste.
Seeing Xiao Yufan’s expression, Chen Xiaohua secretly resolved to dedicate all his efforts to repay this kindness of being recognized. Perhaps even Xiao Yufan himself was unaware that his actions had completely won over this genius who would later become famous on Wall Street in a few years’ time…
Not knowing how much time had passed, everyone present was slightly tipsy, but Xiao Yufan showed no signs of intoxication. He could easily dissipate the effects of alcohol. Looking at the flushed faces of people like Yu Yihan, he began contemplating whether he should do something he had been putting off tonight.
“Master, there’s someone outside claiming to be Qing Yuanfeng asking for you…” As Xiao Yufan was deep in thought, a member of the Tian Team whispered in his ear.
“Him? Does he still have the nerve to show up?”
A cold smirk curled his lips. Xiao Yufan glanced at Qing Luan, his eyes carrying a playful chill. Although the Beijing Club had completely become history, his game with Fengyun Enterprise wasn’t over yet.
He stood up and walked outside. Tian Xuan furrowed her brows slightly, hesitating for a moment before deciding not to follow. Just a moment ago, she had suddenly sensed a fleeting murderous intent from Xiao Yufan…
Outside the private room, Qing Yuanfeng’s face shifted from pale to green, deep in thought. Thinking about the Beijing Club’s dreamlike collapse, he felt an unreal sensation. Was Xiao Yufan really that formidable?
However, this time he had not come for Fengyun Enterprise, but for Qing Luan. He knew the latter must hold some resentment toward him, but she was still his sister, and he couldn’t help but worry.
“The chairman of Fengyun Enterprise, when did you become so refined as to find time to visit me, a mere idle man!”
Xiao Yufan quickly appeared outside the private room, seeing Qing Yuanfeng’s figure. A trace of disdain curled his lips…
If a month ago Xiao Yufan still regarded Qing Yuanfeng as a rival, now in his eyes, the latter was nothing more than a pitiful worm. Without the Beijing Club, it would take Huishui Group minimal effort to crush Fengyun Enterprise.
“I didn’t come here to chat with you, and I know the Situ family isn’t just good at talking. I know Qing Luan is with you. Hand my sister over to me…”
Unmoved by Xiao Yufan’s sarcasm, Qing Yuanfeng remained expressionless, his face stiff and his eyes flashing with cold glints.
“Do you even deserve to be Qing Luan’s brother? Where were you when she needed you the most? Where were you when she was taken away by Qing Yuanfeng? Don’t think you’re someone important. Fortunately, nothing happened to Qing Luan, or else I’d ensure you’d never recover!”
Upon hearing Qing Yuanfeng mention Qing Luan, Xiao Yufan’s expression turned even colder. If it weren’t for this guy’s excessive hesitations, how could Qing Luan have suffered so much? Thinking about how frightened she had looked that day, his anger flared instantly…
Regardless of whether I deserve it or not, I am Qing Luan’s brother. What happened before was my mistake, and I will definitely make up for it by doing my best, ensuring she never gets hurt again!”
His smile bitter, Qing Yuanfeng felt deep guilt. Fortunately, Qing Luan had been rescued by Xiao Yufan; otherwise, he would never forgive himself. But now, he couldn’t even see Qing Luan’s face.
“Make up for it? Do you really think you still have the chance?”
Raising his eyebrows lightly, Xiao Yufan smiled. He knew Qing Luan’s personality all too well. The reason she had never mentioned the past was simply because she didn’t want to relive it. Some wounds only need to be inflicted once. In her eyes, her life was far less important than her brother’s Fengyun Enterprise.
“That’s none of your business. I just need to see Qing Luan once. This is between us siblings; it doesn’t concern outsiders…”
Qing Yuanfeng’s face turned very grim. Seeing that Xiao Yufan showed no intention of letting him meet Qing Luan, he couldn’t help but grow anxious. However, this was someone else’s territory, and he dared not act recklessly.
“Qing Luan is my woman. How could it not be my business? Since your Qing family lacks the ability to take care of my woman, I naturally have to step in myself. Want to see my wife? Let me give you two words—dream on…”
“Xiao Yufan, don’t get too arrogant. I know you’re strong, but what right do you have to stop me from seeing Qing Luan? Have you even obtained her consent!”
Qing Yuanfeng was thoroughly enraged. Xiao Yufan’s repeated obstruction had gradually worn down his patience, his voice growing louder with hysterical fury. If only he could defeat Xiao Yufan, he would charge forward without hesitation, though he could only dream about it…
