A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 120 Mister... Mister Chu?

The fat manager had not imagined that Ye Fan was really an invited guest. And to think the person who

had invited him was the top tycoon of Yunzhou City, the president of Hongqi Group, Xu Lei!

When he saw Ye Fan chatting pleasantly with Xu Lei, the fat manager was instantly frightened out of

his wits.

He thought that this was the end for him.

Right now, he could only hope that Ye Fan would be magnanimous enough to forget about what had

just happened.

But barely enough time had passed for Ye Fan to forget the earlier unpleasantness.

After taking a sip of his coffee, Ye Fan smiled lightly and said, "Miss Xu, you are pleasant to look at

today. But it is a pity that you found us such an unpleasant shop."

Although Ye Fan was speaking softly, everyone else in the cafe could hear him. Of course, that

included the fat manager.

Almost immediately, the fat manager turned pale. He stepped forward in a panic and said in a pained

voice, "Sir, what happened just now was my fault."

"In my ignorance, I have offended Miss Xu's guest."

"Please forgive me, sir~"

As the fat manager kept apologizing, sweat poured profusely from his forehead.

But Ye Fan looked playfully at the manager and said, "You were saying something different earlier. You

said I was a country bumpkin and that I was unworthy to be in this place. And you were going to call for

your employees to throw me out?"

When Xu Lei heard this, a sombre expression came over her beautiful face.

"Mr. Hu, how dare you?"

"How dare you insult a guest of mine?" "I think perhaps you wish to shut down your cafe?"

"Miss Xu, no~" The fat manager was so frightened that he nearly burst into tears. Belle's Cafe was his

lifeblood. If it was shut down, then he would not be able to provide for his family.

"Miss Xu, I was wrong. I really did not mean to offend your guest."

"It's them."

"Yes, that's right. It's all their fault. That degenerate couple sitting over there. They kept saying that your

guest was a country bumpkin and a poor loser. They made me chase him away. I only did that because

they told me to."

As the fat manager kept talking, he abased himself so much that he seemed as insignificant as dirt. In

the end, he simply shifted all the blame to Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying.

"How dare you! You bastard! How dare you scold us?" When he heard the manager call him and his

wife a "degenerate couple," Chu Wen-Fei blew his top and lashed out right away.

"Well, screw you!”

"Why are you still trying to show off?"

"You two dumbasses nearly got me killed!"

The fat manager got so worked up that he kicked Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying from their chairs.

At this moment, he wished he could just kick the degenerate couple to death.

If it were not for them, he would never have offended Ye Fan and angered Xu Lei.

"Screw you! Get out of here now!"

"You dumbass couple! How dare you insult Miss Xu's guest?"

"Are you trying to get me killed?"

The fat manager's eyes were red with rage as he scolded and beat the couple. Naturally, in the face of

the ferocious attacks, both Chu Wen-Fei and Qiu Mu-Ying no longer dared to remain in the cafe. The

couple climbed to their feet and escaped in a crestfallen manner. Just then, they looked thoroughly

pathetic. There was no longer any trace left of the arrogance and authority they had shown Ye Fan

earlier.

However, till the end, Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei still could not understand why a VIP like Xu Lei

would personally entertain a live-in son-in-law like Ye Fan.

After the noisy couple had left the cafe, the place became a lot more peaceful.

Afterward, Ye Fan did not make things difficult for the manager. He merely reminded the latter to be a

friendly, peaceful and kind person in future; a person who would always have a smile on his face.

What else could the fat manager do but nod his head in agreement. And then he left in a panic.

Afterward, Xu Lei looked at Ye Fan and snorted in laughter.

In front of Ye Fan, the top tycoon of Yunzhou did not put on airs as she would normally do. Instead, she

had a friendly and intoxicating smile on her face.

"What are you smiling at?" Ye Fan asked.

"Nothing. I just thought the way you messed with the manager was kinda funny. Where did you learn Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

those lines?" Xu Lei asked with a smile.

"I summarized them from my valuable life experiences," Ye Fan replied.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. I want to know more about what is going on with Qiushui Logistics. Is

the partnership between your company and Qiushui Logistics going smoothly?”

Clearly, Ye Fan was more concerned about how Qiu Mu-Cheng was doing.

Several days had already passed since he left the Qius, and he did not know a thing about her current

situation.

Xu Lei nodded. "I asked the person-in-charge in my company before coming here. Things are still

going well. But Mr. Chu, according to what I know, your wife is not popular in her company. Although

she is the project manager in name, the Qius do not seem to respect her authority."

"Right now, the Qius need to rely on her for the partnership with my company. So, for a while, they will

show her some courtesy. But what about later on? Once the partnership matures and stabilizes, do you

think your wife will still be able to remain in her current position?"

"The Qius are running a family business. The criterion for advancement in such a company is not one's

capability. But rather it will depend on her skill at flattery. The person who succeeds in flattering Master

Qiu will be the one to hold the reins of control. Mr. Chu, what do you think of your wife's skill at

flattery?”

After listening to Xu Lei, Ye Fan's expression gradually turned sombre.

Qiu Mu-Cheng is a silly and proud woman. She wouldn't know anything about flattering people!

Xu Lei took a sip of coffee and said indifferently: "If she doesn't know how to flatter people, then I

advice you to make some preparations. Based on my judgement, I think Qiu Mu-Cheng will not remain

long in her current position."

Ye Fan nodded. "Yes, I should start making alternative plans.”

"And, considering how capable Mu-Cheng is, Qiushui Logistics is really too small for her."

Ye Fan spent a lot of time chatting with Xu Lei during the afternoon. They only ended their conversation

and left the cafe in the evening.

When he returned to the villa, Ye Fan looked at the calender. The date was the thirteeth of August.

There were only two days left till the duel at Mount Tai.

But still, there was no news from Han.

"It looks like it will be impossible to find that eyesore before the duel."

Ye Fan stood by the window with his hands clasped behind his back. As he looked at the sky outside,

his eyes were filled with gravitas and a cold light flashed within them. Nobody knew just what was

going through his head at this moment.

This night, he did not play the harmonica.

The next morning, Li Er called Ye Fan again. He informed the latter that he would be hosting a send-off

banquet at his residence tonight. Once again, he earnestly invited Ye Fan to attend.

“Mr. Chu, where would you like me to pick you up?" Li Er asked.

Ye Fan pondered for a moment before saying, "Come to the eastern suburb first. Give me a call when

you arrive."

After he finished speaking, Ye Fan ended the call.

The day went by quickly.

When evening came, Ye Fan took a shower. But he still felt hungry, so he looked around for a

restaurant in his vicinity. He wanted to have a light meal to assuage his hunger a little.

"There is also a Sheng Tian Restaurant in Yunzhou?”

"I wonder if it belongs to the same company as the Sheng Tian in Jianghai?"

Ye Fan laughed softly and then walked into the restaurant.

But, the moment he stepped through the entrance, a careless female server walked right into him. And

even spilled the beer she was holding all over Ye Fan.

"I am sorry-1 am sorry-" This female server was obviously a young girl. She looked like she had only

just started working right after college. As she apologized to Ye Fan in a panic, her face turned

considerably pale.

Ye Fan saw this and laughed. "Don't worry. You just go ahead and do your work. Just

be more careful next time."

"Thank you..."

"Mm? Mr... Mr. Chu?" The server was just about to thank Ye Fan but, when she lifted her head to look

at him, she became so surprised that her eyes widened noticeably.
