Xiao Yufan walked in, and upon seeing Zhang Yi and the other three, he felt somewhat surprised. Yet his intuition told him that these four individuals must hold significant positions within the Financial Club…
“Let me introduce him. This is Zhang Yi, who can fully represent the Financial Club. I think if you have any issues, you can discuss them with him. I’m sure our esteemed President Zhang will grant me this favor!”
Dongfang Yanran tilted her beautiful eyes slightly, her bewitching face carrying an alluring charm. With just a glance, she left the group spellbound. Such a seductress was not someone just anyone could control.
“Huihuang Enterprises, Xiao Yufan…”
He extended his hand in a very friendly manner. Xiao Yufan remained unassuming, though he was somewhat surprised. For someone to control the Financial Club at his age, he must possess formidable strength.
“I’ve heard a lot about Xiao Yufan’s remarkable achievements. Seeing you in person, I can confirm your extraordinary bearing. Dongfang Haoran losing to you was not undeserved!”
Zhang Yi shifted his gaze from Dongfang Yanran to Xiao Yufan, their eyes meeting. Almost simultaneously, both broke into smiles. Two men who were legends in Beijing’s business circles were meeting for the first time in such a setting…
“As for remarkable achievements, I wouldn’t go that far. It’s just a superficial pursuit of fame and fortune. At the end of the day, I’m still just an ordinary man!”
Xiao Yufan shook his head and smiled. He felt no reaction to the compliment from this young man. Yet the fact that he dared to mention Dongfang Haoran in front of Dongfang Yanran already indicated that their relationship must be quite close.
“So, Xiao Yufan coming to the Financial Club must mean you have something on your mind?”
Zhang Yi asked knowingly. He couldn’t directly reveal everything Chen Fan had done, so this question served as a way to save face for both parties and avoid embarrassment.
“If I’m not mistaken, the Cheng family from the south must have some connection with the Financial Club. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have dared to target my woman. If that’s the case, I wonder if the Financial Club could, for my sake, refrain from doing anything for the Cheng family!”
Actually, Xiao Yufan wasn’t entirely certain about the exact relationship between the Financial Club and the Cheng family. If there was indeed a close connection, his few words might not have any effect…
“Working for the Cheng family? Xiao Yufan must have misunderstood. Even if the Cheng family has influence, they have no control over our Financial Club matters, so naturally, there’s no need for us to act on their behalf…”
“Are you saying there’s no such connection?”
Frowning, Xiao Yufan felt puzzled. Could it be that Ma Teng’s information was incorrect? That shouldn’t be possible. This guy wouldn’t have falsified intelligence. Since he had uncovered the Financial Club, there must be a connection between the two…
“I’m not foolish enough to confront Huihuang Enterprises yet, so naturally, the Financial Club won’t target your woman. Even if there were some misunderstandings before, they won’t happen again. I can guarantee that!”
Zhang Yi replied with a smile, effectively covering for Chen Fan. If he revealed the truth, there was no telling whether Xiao Yufan would resort to violence, making the situation even worse. Of course, this wasn’t exactly protection…
“Since you’ve put it that way, I naturally believe you. I hope things won’t go that way again, and that the Cheng family’s fellow won’t leave the capital peacefully either!”
Xiao Yufan could tell that the middle-aged man was hiding something, but being a smart man himself, he didn’t press further. With this assurance, he felt somewhat reassured, at least avoiding a direct confrontation with the Financial Club.
“Alright then, since I’ve received the answer I wanted, I won’t overstay my welcome. I hope that Huihuang and the Financial Club can coexist peacefully in the future…”
After a brief hesitation, Xiao Yufan continued, then nodded at Dongfang Yanran and turned to walk outside.
“Brother, take care on your way out, and remember, you owe big sister a favor this time…”
A seductive voice came from behind. Xiao Yufan almost stumbled, nearly losing his balance. This enchantress didn’t care about appearances, did she? Calling him “brother” in front of so many people! If they were alone, he would have pinned her to the ground and ravaged her mercilessly.
After Xiao Yufan’s figure disappeared from their sight, Dongfang Yanran’s smile gradually faded, replaced by an icy coldness. Her gaze swept across Zhang Yi and the others, her lips curling into a faint smile…
“I’d like to speak with Zhang Yi alone…”
With a slight pout, Dongfang Yanran spoke. Chen Fan, Xu Yifei, and the other two wisely stepped out. Having learned about this woman’s identity, they naturally dared not object.
“I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation for this matter. Otherwise, I won’t mind seeing the Financial Club led by someone else!”
Under Dongfang Yanran’s captivating gaze, Zhang Yi appeared somewhat uneasy. Those eyes, brimming with infinite enchantment, gave off an eerie sensation, as if they could see right through a person…
“It was indeed the Cheng family’s people who did it, but Chen Fan acted on his own initiative, thus provoking Xiao Yufan’s woman!”
“Him? He’s getting more restless lately. Don’t you think he’s no longer content with the status quo? If he aligns with the Cheng family, a powerful tree to lean on, he might climb even higher. That’s what he desires!”
Dongfang Yanran gazed into the distance, her expression devoid of any emotion. She was not indecisive. Even though her relationship with Chen Fan was quite good, it didn’t mean he could act recklessly. Most importantly, this fool had dared to provoke the man she cared about…
“So what should we do now…”
Zhang Yi furrowed his brows. From Dongfang Yanran’s words, he sensed a hint of dissatisfaction. When this woman got angry, someone was bound to suffer. Clearly, this time, Chen Fan had walked straight into the line of fire!
“If he showed no mercy, then don’t blame me for being ruthless. I think you know how to make him disappear, right? The man I’ve set my eyes on is not someone he can touch!”
Dongfang Yanran smiled faintly, yet her words dripped with chilling menace. Although Zhang Yi knew she was furious, he hadn’t expected that this usually gentle and refined woman would harbor such deadly intentions!
“I’ll handle it properly. However, I have one question: are you really fond of that man? You must know that he’s…”
“Some things are better left unknown. It’s true that I like him, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten my vendettas!”
Interrupting Zhang Yi’s next words, Dongfang Yanran’s face was now covered in frost. She didn’t want anyone meddling in her affairs, not even this man…
