Lin Fan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Was he really that intimidating? Song Rongmao was actually pleading on behalf of Li Jian. Actually, Lin Fan was a fair-minded person who disliked causing trouble. All he sought was a fair competition.
Li Family was going to sell land and had announced a public bidding. Lin Fan submitted his bid according to the rules, competing fairly with other bidders. If he lost, he would accept it wholeheartedly. But Li Family refused to give Lin Fan a fair chance to compete, first by returning his bidding docunts and directly stripping him of the competition qualification.
After tonight's events, although Li Jian accepted the bidding docunts, he very likely would still create trouble for Lin Fan. If Lin Fan lost in an unfair competition, he would obviously refuse to accept it.
If he doesn't accept, he'll fight.
Lin Fan would prepare accordingly. If Li Jian doesn't stir up trouble later, he wouldn't take any action. But if Li Jian does cause trouble, then Lin Fan won't hold back.
The night was deep, and Song Rongmao's birthday celebration ended in a festive atmosphere.
Lin Fan, with Wei Yue'er, bid farewell and left, with Song Rongmao personally escorting them to the door.
Outside the Song Family villa.
Lin Fan suddenly asked, "Yue'er, regarding the land purchase, what do you think we should do next?"
Wei Yue'er was sowhat flustered, "I'm just your assistant. This question is a bit beyond my scope!"
Lin Fan smiled, "It's not beyond your scope. I've seen your resu, and this question shouldn't stump you. Go on, tell ."
Wei Yue'er's face flushed red. She had gone quite overboard when applying to be Lin Fan's assistant; her resu was too impressive. If she had known earlier, she would have hidden so of her abilities.
Wei Yue'er reluctantly said, "Well, Xingjian Group is about to go public, perhaps we can focus on this aspect…"
Lin Fan nodded, "Great minds think alike."
Wei Yue'er's face turned even redder. She bit her lip, "You already had a plan and didn't really need my advice. Were you testing ? Do you think my resu was falsified?"
Lin Fan laughed, "Not at all. I've never doubted your resu because I believe you wouldn't deceive ."
Looking at Lin Fan's smile, Wei Yue'er felt a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe. She truly had deceived Lin Fan; despite his trust, she had been concealing her identity from him…
Suddenly, she had a surge of impulse—she wanted to confess to Lin Fan, to reveal her true identity.
But it was just then.
"Mr. Lin!" soone called out from behind Lin Fan.
The two turned back to see Wang Hailin approaching with an awkward smile, "Mr. Lin, it's great you haven't left yet."
Lin Fan knew what Wang wanted, but pretended not to, asking, "Oh, it's Old Wang. What's the matter?"
"Well…" Wang Hailin's face reddened, glancing at Wei Yue'er with so embarrassnt, "Mr. Lin, could we speak in private?"
Suppressing laughter internally, Lin Fan said to Wei Yue'er, "Yue'er, wait for in the car. I'll chat with Old Wang for a bit."
"Okay." Wei Yue'er agreed and went to the car.
With Wei Yue'er gone, Wang Hailin approached Lin Fan eagerly, "Mr. Lin, I truly didn't expect you'd have such impressive dical skills. I'm utterly amazed, my admiration for you is boundless like the endless river…"
Lin Fan interrupted him, "That's enough, don't say those cheesy words anymore. Just state your request directly."
Did Wang Hailin really think Lin Fan didn't understand his intentions? Earlier, when Li Jian wanted to cause trouble for Lin Fan, Old Wang's eagerness to assist was almost too obvious.
This guy used to be the richest man in Yun City, and Lin Fan had replaced him. He was certainly displeased, but he lacked the courage to confront directly, only daring to incite secretly.
The harm was minimal, but it was definitely annoying.
Lin Fan used his skills to publicly expose Wang's health issue, turning him into a laughingstock, effectively giving him a lesson.
Wang Hailin quickly gained a new nickna, "Kidney Weak Wang."
"His surna is Wang, let's call him Kidney Weak Wang from now on."
"Hilarious, this nickna is too fitting!"
"Isn't it though!"
A few youngsters whispered and giggled together.
So even "showed concern" for Wang Hailin, proactively offering him ho redies to treat his kidney issues.
Wang Hailin was so embarrassed he wanted to find a hole to crawl into; he didn't trust any redies now. He only trusted Lin Fan, who seed to know his condition as if hiding under his bed, confirming Lin Fan's dical expertise as unmatched.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, you ntioned earlier that I only need dication to recover. Could you perhaps provide a prescription?" Wang Hailin smiled awkwardly, finally expressing his purpose for seeking Lin Fan.
Lin Fan had already anticipated that Wang was coming for a prescription, smiling, he said, "This prescription isn't cheap, you know."
Wang Hailin hurriedly replied, "Money is not an issue. Mr. Lin, just write a prescription, I'll pay whatever it costs."
Lin Fan uttered, "You'll pay any amount?"
Wang Hailin imdiately regretted saying that—to him, a prescription, no matter how expensive, couldn't be that costly. After all, he used to be the richest man in Yun City, could he really be short of this money?
Now, hearing Lin Fan's tone, he sensed sothing unpleasant might happen—what if Lin Fan demanded a hundred million?
Lin Fan then laughed, "Forget about the money; I don't need it. But I do have a request. If Old Wang you agree, I'll give you the prescription for free, ensuring that after a while of dication, you'll be rejuvenated."
Hearing the word 'rejuvenated', Wang Hailin 's heart quickened—Lin Fan's prescription was that effective?
"Mr. Lin, just say it. As long as I can do it, I'll comply!" Wang Hailin assured, patting his chest.
Lin Fan said, "Li Family is selling that piece of pri land by the river, aren't they? Old Wang, you'll also submit a bid tomorrow and participate in the auction."
Wang Hailin was startled, "Mr. Lin, I don't need that land. What is your purpose? Why do you want involved?"
Lin Fan said, "I have my reasons. You just need to follow suit. You don't need to buy that land. Of course, if you do manage to buy it, that'd be great—just resell it to ."
Wang Hailin didn't want to buy that land at all. He wasn't interested in it, and Yida Group didn't need it either.
If he did buy it and resold it to Lin Fan, he'd be offending Li Jian!
He certainly didn't want to offend Landlord Li.
"If it's just about participating in bidding without actually buying the land, I can do that. Mr. Lin, do you have any specific requirents for the bidding docunt?" Wang Hailin asked.
Lin Fan nodded, "Yes."
He wanted Wang Hailin to also submit a bid, with a simple goal: Wang's bidding docunt would be crafted according to Lin Fan's instructions, and the conditions offered by Wang Hailin would be slightly lower than those offered by Mortal Group.
Shortly, the bidding docunt would go through the first round of elimination. If the Mortal Group's docunt gets eliminated while Wang Hailin's docunt remains, Lin Fan would know whether Li Jian ssed with him or not.
It's a simple and effective test.
Three days later, Mortal Group received a ssage from Xingjian Group that their bidding docunt was eliminated due to lack of competitiveness among nurous bids.
Lin Fan subsequently learned from Wang Hailin that Yida Group's bidding docunt had been retained, advancing to the second round.
Indeed, Li Jian had created trouble for Lin Fan!
Now Lin Fan wouldn't hold back.
