Chapter 7: The Fool Actually Knows a Big Shot?
As Ye Fan furrowed his brows, Wang Fugui seemed to sense something and suddenly turned to look sharply at Ye Fan!
That resolute gaze seemed to say:
*Yes! Big Brother, that’s exactly who you are!*
"Big Brother, I suddenly feel like you’re different today. Do you think you’ve really woken up?" Wang Fugui excitedly grabbed Ye Fan’s arm and shook it.
Ye Fan was a bit surprised—was this kid’s perception so sharp?
“Old Wang, I want to drink some soda!” Although Ye Fan was moved that Wang Fugui was still by his side despite such hardships, now wasn’t the time to reveal everything.
Until he thoroughly investigates the enemies targeting the Ye family, Ye Fan would keep pretending to be a fool.
Wang Fugui’s expression darkened. “Got it! Big Brother, I’ll go pour it for you!”
“Xiao Fan, how did you get in? Are you okay?”
Just as Wang Fugui was about to get up, Su Yixue hurried over from another side of the hall.
She had just finished handling the Su family’s affairs. When she heard Zhao Tianlong was bullying Ye Fan, she rushed over. Seeing Ye Fan and Wang Fugui together, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Little Sister-in-law, hello!” Wang Fugui quickly straightened up and respectfully greeted her. However, he changed his usual way of calling her “Sister-in-law” to “Little Sister-in-law.”
Yixue naturally understood what he meant.
“Lazy mouth!” Su Yixue rolled her eyes at Wang Fugui.
“Did Xiao Fan get into any trouble just now?”
“Is my big brother someone who gets bullied?”
Wang Fugui quickly told Su Yixue everything that had just happened. When he heard that Ye Fan had actually made Zhao Tianlong look bad and made him drink the water from the mop, a look of suspicion appeared in his eyes.
Ye Fan had been a fool for five years—how could he suddenly become so agile?
Or was it just an accident?
“Little Sister-in-law, I feel like my big brother’s aura is different from before! I faintly sense that my big brother are awakening, but the way he’s acting now… ugh!” Wang Fugui expressed his inner confusion.
Su Yixue also nodded. “Don’t worry! Sister Linglong arranged for Master Lei, the Great Xia Medical Saint, to come to Yun City soon to diagnose Xiao Fan. We’ll know the exact situation then!”
Because of what just happened, Su Yixue didn’t dare let Ye Fan be alone. She kept him close, constantly greeting business people from all walks of life in Yun City and introducing Ye Fan’s identity.
Her purpose was very clear!
It was to declare to everyone: Although the Ye family had fallen on hard times and was now in decline, the Su family still stood with the Ye family and would continue to protect them. Even if Ye Fan was a fool, the Su family would do everything they could to support him.
When the business banquet officially started, Zhao Tianlong was helped out of the bathroom, pale-faced, onto the stage.
“Everyone! Today’s business banquet is meant to create a platform for business networking and exchange...” Zhao Tianlong couldn’t help but vomit again as he saw the trash can beside him.
“Today, besides the elites present from Yun City, we are also honored to have Mr. Xia Hao, the CEO of Xia Group from the provincial capital! Our Zhao family is very eager to cooperate with Mr. Xia. The Xia family’s channels extend throughout the Southwest. If we get the support of the Xia family, we will soar rapidly! Now, please welcome Mr. Xia!”
Zhao Tianlong looked proud. As a noble family from the provincial capital, the Xia family’s influence spreads across the Southwest. Many families hoped to cooperate with the Xia family and leverage their channels to soar.
And Zhao Tianlong had obviously already taken the lead—he invited Mr. Xia himself and organized this banquet.
If Mr. Xia agreed to cooperate, the first choice would be the Zhao family.
“Although this Zhao family’s young master isn’t very virtuous, his methods and ability are truly not to be underestimated!”
“Yeah! If Zhao’s family has the support of the Xia family, they’re definitely going to become the top noble family in Yun City!”
“Ugh, so boring—this is just Zhao Tianlong showing off.”
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Amid the applause, a sharp-looking man in his fifties stepped onto the stage, took the microphone, and said, “Dear friends, it’s a great honor to come to Yun City! Xia Group plans to expand into the Southwest market, and we need everyone’s support… Today, I am here to discuss cooperation with you. Of course, the Zhao family is a good choice, but that doesn’t mean other companies have no chance...”
His words immediately made Zhao Tianlong sit uncomfortably.
What does he mean? All the effort he put into organizing this banquet now seemed to be for someone else?
But Xia’s scale and status were clearly far superior to Zhao’s. Even though Zhao Tianlong was unhappy, he didn’t dare to show it.
Su Yixue, Su Honghai, Su Minghao, and others stood together, hearing Zhao Tianlong and Xia Hao’s conversation, and they looked disappointed.
“Ugh! The Su family has no chance this time. This banquet was organized by Zhao’s family—how could it possibly be our turn?”
“Yixue, are you really sure you want to marry that fool?”
While everyone was talking, they couldn’t help but glance again at Ye Fan beside Su Yixue.
Ye Fan stood beside Su Yixue, expressionless, but no matter how you looked at him, he didn’t seem to have normal intelligence.
Poor Ye Family!
Meanwhile, Xia Hao, speaking on stage, casually swept his eyes over the crowd below. When he saw Ye Fan beside Su Yixue, his eyes suddenly lit up.
“Divine doctor?”
Xia Hao, holding the microphone, blurted out loud, causing everyone present to be stunned.
He quickly explained, “Sorry, everyone. I have something important to deal with right now. I’ll talk to you all later.”
He handed the microphone to Zhao Tianlong and, with his assistant, hurried straight toward Su Yixue’s direction.
Many company bosses and representatives from various circles looked at Xia Hao expectantly, hoping he’d come to find their own.
They were even ready to shake hands, but Xia Hao didn’t look at them at all—his eyes were fixed intently on Ye Fan, and he moved quickly.
The people of the Su family also sensed something was off.
“Could it be… Mr. Xia is here to find us? Does anyone here know Mr. Xia?” Su Minghao asked, confused, turning to look at everyone.
Everyone shook their heads, except the third brother, who hesitated. “I attended a business forum in the provincial capital before, and I shook hands with Mr. Xia once. Maybe he remembers me?”
Everyone rolled their eyes. How could he remember a single handshake among so many people at a forum?
“Divine doctor, I finally found you! I’ve never had the chance to thank you for saving my life back then!”
In everyone’s puzzled gazes, Xia Hao hurriedly ran to Ye Fan, respectfully bowed, and reached out both hands to him.
He’s come to find Ye Fan?
The Su family members froze, and everyone else was stunned too!
A fool, and he actually knows a big shot from the provincial Xia family, Xia Hao?
Su Yixue just announced she’d marry Ye Fan this morning, and now she received such good news in the afternoon?
If Ye Fan really had an extraordinary relationship with Xia Hao, then the Xia family’s partner in Yun City would definitely choose the Su Group!
