Lin Fan was driving his Rolls-Royce on a highway when he suddenly looked up and saw a huge banner ahead, which read: Hang City Welcos You.
Lin Fan chuckled. He finally arrived in Hang City. This was his first ti coming here.
It's said that fierce dragons never cross the river, but this ti he's here to take Ning Xiaoyue away. If anyone tries to stop him, he won't mind turning Hang City upside down. Hang City, prepare to tremble.
Lin Fan was bound to co to Hang City sooner or later because the new chip factory would be built there. As the capital of Jiangnan, Hang City was uniquely blessed, housing the best tech university in Jiangnan, brimming with talent—a perfect choice.
Lin Fan just didn't expect to co so soon, for which he had Liu Jinwei to thank. Since he was already here, Lin Fan wouldn't miss out on this trip. After all, driving from Yun City to Hang City takes a good half a day.
Just now, Lin Fan had a call with Du Tao. Du Tao had personally visited Liu Jinwei, but Liu Jinwei showed no respect to him.
From the information Du Tao gathered, Liu Jinwei's kidnapping of Ning Xiaoyue was greatly related to the Wei Family. Liu Jinwei was likely the reinforcents hired by the Wei Family, with their target being Lin Fan.
"Do you know where Xiaoyue is now?" Lin Fan asked.
Du Tao replied, "Liu Jinwei didn't reveal that, but Liu Jinwei's birthday banquet will be held at the Haojiang Grand Hotel."
Haojiang Grand Hotel, Lin Fan muttered to himself. That's the place he needed to go next.
Ring ring ring…
Lin Fan's phone suddenly rang. It was Wei Yue'er calling.
"Yue'er, what's up?" Lin Fan asked with a smile.
Wei Yue'er said, "Where are you? You disappeared after work last night. Are you okay? There's a board eting at the company this afternoon. Are you coming back for it?"
Last night… Last night was quite eventful, including a pleasant ti with Loli at a small hotel. Naturally, Lin Fan wouldn't ntion these to Wei Yue'er.
"I'm not attending the eting. I have so things to do here in Hang City. You go on my behalf," Lin Fan said.
Wei Yue'er was surprised: "You're in Hang City?"
She was a bit shocked at how Lin Fan had gone to Hang City without a word. Hang City is her hotown. Her family is there, and they are the richest in Jiangnan, the Wei Family.
She was also worried. If Lin Fan is in Hang City, would he find out she's Wei Tiansheng's sister? If so, could she still stay by Lin Fan's side?
"Is it because of the new chip factory?" Wei Yue'er asked.
Lin Fan said, "You could say that, but also not entirely."
This ti Ning Xiaoyue was kidnapped by Liu Jinwei. If the Wei Family was truly behind it, what would be their purpose?
Lin Fan was planning to build a factory in Hang City, and the least happy party about this would be the Wei Family. They would certainly try to stop Lin Fan by any ans.
Thus, Lin Fan judged that this incident was ultimately related to the building of the chip factory.
Wei Yue'er asked curiously, "What do you an by that?"
Lin Fan said, "I don't know how to explain it now; I'll tell you in detail later."
Wei Yue'er had no choice but to say, "Alright, have you had lunch? No matter how busy you are, make sure to eat."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Is this advice from my assistant or a friend's reminder?"
Although Wei Yue'er's official role was his assistant, she was also his friend.
Wei Yue'er also laughed, "Do all your assistants remind you to eat?"
Lin Fan said, "Only you do."
Wei Yue'er's face blushed. This way, she felt that as an assistant, she was a bit special. After all, other assistants rely worked for Lin Fan, but her main goal was to pursue Lin Fan.
After hanging up the call, Lin Fan's stomach suddenly growled. Perhaps because of Wei Yue'er's reminder, he felt a surge of hunger.
Feeling hungry was only natural for him. Actually, he'd been hungry since morning. After all he'd been through last night, even soone made of iron would be hungry. However, he was in such a hurry to get to Hang City that he couldn't even bother with eating.
Now that he was in Hang City and knew that Ning Xiaoyue was likely at the Haojiang Grand Hotel, Lin Fan wasn't in such a hurry anymore.
He decided to eat sothing first. There was still a lot to be done after eating.
Lin Fan glanced out of the car window and saw a restaurant not far away. He drove over, parked the car, and walked into the restaurant, sitting down at an empty table.
"Sir, what would you like to eat?" A young waitress ca over enthusiastically to greet him.
At this ti, the restaurant wasn't very crowded, and the waitstaff were quite idle. Lin Fan's arrival caught their attention.
This guy is so handso! And his outfit is so tasteful; he must have exceptional taste. His clothes are from so German nswear brand, not too expensive, perfectly fitting the identity of a middle-class person.
The main clientele for this restaurant is the city's elite, commonly known as the bourgeoisie.
Clearly, Lin Fan must be one of those elite professionals working in the nearby high-end office buildings. So young, maybe he's a key asset in the business or a newly-minted lawyer, definitely middle-class.
Such a young man, rich and promising, and so handso, he's practically the dream man for won.
Lin Fan hadn't expected that coming in for a al would trigger so many thoughts in these people's minds. To be honest, their assumptions were entirely wrong.
All in all, they judged him based on appearance, and such judgnts were rather far-fetched.
This outfit didn't an Lin Fan was part of the middle class. He had only bought new clothes because his old ones were damaged and he found these nearby. If there was a street vendor at the ti, Lin Fan would've bought clothes from there. If there were a global luxury brand, he would have bought from there too. He wasn't picky about clothes.
If Lin Fan had co in wearing yesterday's street vendor clothes, these people would've ford an entirely different opinion about him. They might have assud he worked as a laborer nearby and looked down on him.
They might have secretly sneered at Lin Fan, questioning what right a laborer had to eat in their restaurant, where only respectable individuals dined.
If Lin Fan wore clothes from a global luxury brand, how would these people react? They might have taken Lin Fan for an executive or even a new board-level entrepreneur.
Despite Lin Fan himself being indifferent about his attire, it's very common for society to judge individuals based on what they wear. Lin Fan's nurous encounters with misunderstandings due to his outfit are clear evidence of this.
Of course, even knowing this, Lin Fan wouldn't adjust to societal biases. If they wanted to misunderstand, let them. It wasn't his embarrassnt to bear.
Lin Fan looked at the nu and casually ordered a set al, saying, "Please add more rice to my order today. I'm quite hungry."
The waitress blinked, then giggled, "Alright."
"Hey, Lin Fan, aren't you Lin Fan?"
Suddenly, a voice ca from the side. Lin Fan turned to look and saw a man he didn't recognize right away.
"And you are?" Lin Fan asked.
The man smiled, "It's , Yang Hao. We used to work at the sa delivery station, rember? So, are you still delivering packages?"
