"Rest assured, kid. Since I can cure your internal injuries, I'll satisfy you in the future," the eccentric old man stated directly.
"Then it's a deal!"
Lu Fan nodded in satisfaction and left the room.
The old man had a peculiar temperament, but he wasn't a bad person. If he kept his promise, he might be of great use in the future. As for the Dragon Group members, Lu Fan didn't take them too seriously.
The next morning, Lin Ke went to Qingyun Group, while Lu Fan arrived at Wen Fan Company.
Wen Fan Company was just starting. Although the factory had been expanded, it needed to gain experience before it could truly shine.
Lu Fan technically had a stake in the company, but he didn't care much. He had created the company primarily to put Yang Shiwen's mind at ease.
The factory workers were operating normally. Upon seeing Lu Fan, Yang Shiwen smiled and said, "Xiao Fan, the company is on the right track. It won't be long before we have a presence in Chuzhou."
"This is all thanks to Uncle," Lu Fan replied with a smile. "Without Uncle's connections, the company wouldn't have developed so quickly."
"You're mistaken there. Even the best cook can't make a meal without ingredients. If you hadn't provided five million, how could the factory have expanded?" Yang Shiwen said gratefully. "This is all thanks to you."
"Uncle, please don't say that!" Lu Fan chuckled wryly. "I'm just doing my part. Whether the company succeeds in the future depends on its operations."
"Wen Fan Company is on the right track, so you don't need to worry, Xiao Fan," Yang Zixin said with a smile. "But speaking of which, a classmate of mine wants to invite you to dinner. Are you available?"
"A classmate?" Lu Fan asked, surprised. "Which classmate?"
"Naturally, Hu Yu," Yang Zixin smiled. "He's broken up with someone and seems quite interested in you!"
"Sister Zixin, don't joke with me," Lu Fan retorted, giving her a look. "I'm already married!"
"I'm not joking with you!" Yang Zixin said helplessly. "Believe it or not, I've delivered the message!"
"Ahem..." Lu Fan coughed awkwardly. He didn't think he had anything special about him that would attract someone's attention.
As they were talking, a group of uninvited guests arrived outside the factory. Several figures emerged from the cars, and Yang Shiwen frowned, clearly unsure of what was happening.
Boss Qian, accompanied by Brother Jin, approached the factory with a solemn expression.
"Aren't these the guys who tried to extort us yesterday?" Yang Zixin frowned. "He took a million dollars, and he's back today!"
Yang Shiwen remained silent, looking at Brother Jin. If they were here to cause trouble, Wen Fan Company couldn't afford it.
"May I ask who is the person in charge of Wen Fan Company?"
Boss Qian cupped his fists towards Lu Fan before addressing Yang Shiwen and the others.
"We are all in charge!" Yang Shiwen stated directly. "Who is this boss? Is he also here to cause trouble?"
"Mr. Yang, please don't misunderstand!"
Boss Qian quickly cupped his fists again and then glanced at Brother Jin.
Brother Jin stumbled and immediately knelt on the ground. "Mr. Yang, I was ignorant yesterday and offended you. I deserve to die!"
Brother Jin kept slapping himself, and his other hand was bandaged, making him look quite pathetic.
Yang Zixin was somewhat surprised. Brother Jin had been arrogant and overbearing yesterday, but today he had changed so much, which made her even more confused.
"Here are fifty million!"
Boss Qian produced a check. "My cousin was temporarily foolish and offended Wen Fan Company. We will never dare to do so again. I hope Mr. Yang will forgive us!"
"How can we dare?" Yang Shiwen quickly waved his hands. "Wen Fan Company only lost one million, not fifty million!"
"This is a small token of my sincerity," Boss Qian said with a smile. "Wen Fan Company must require significant funds for its establishment. Please accept this as compensation!"
"This..." Yang Shiwen was taken aback. To be able to produce fifty million so casually suggested a person of great importance. Under normal circumstances, why would they be so humble? He couldn't quite grasp the situation.
"Uncle, since they say it's compensation and an apology, why don't we just accept it?" Lu Fan said with a smile. "They took away a million yesterday, which was unreasonable in the first place!"
"This is not acceptable!"
Yang Shiwen quickly shook his head. "We absolutely cannot accept this money."
He was an honest man and naturally wouldn't accept money of unknown origin. If there were future troubles, Wen Fan Company wouldn't be able to bear them.
"Boss Yang, please spare me!" Brother Jin prostrated himself on the ground. "If you don't accept it, I'm afraid my life will be in danger!"
"Boss Yang, you must accept this money no matter what," Boss Qian bowed. "Consider it helping me out!"
Yang Shiwen was utterly confused, but Yang Zixin kept looking at Lu Fan. It was highly likely that this matter was related to Lu Fan. After all, Lu Fan's identity was still uncertain, which made her curious about how Lu Fan possessed such means to make such important figures so subservient.
"Uncle, let's accept this money!" Lu Fan stated directly. "Don't make things difficult for them!"
"But..." Yang Shiwen frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.
"Please, Boss Yang, accept the fifty million!"
Boss Qian pleaded again, his expression becoming even more earnest. If Yang Shiwen didn't accept the money, he wouldn't be able to report back to Lu Fan, and the situation would become serious. Su Dan Novel Network
"Alright, I'll accept the money!" Yang Shiwen nodded slightly. Although he didn't know the reason, since someone was being so polite, there was no need to dwell on it further.
"Thank you, Boss Yang, for your great kindness!" Brother Jin quickly expressed his gratitude.
Boss Qian then smiled and said, "Wen Fan Company has just been established. We will likely need many partners. I wonder if the Qian family is qualified to cooperate with your esteemed company?"
"The Qian family?" Yang Shiwen was stunned. "Are you referring to the Qian family of Chuzhou?"
"That's right," Boss Qian nodded solemnly. "My Qian family has abundant resources. If we cooperate with Wen Fan Company, Wen Fan Company will surely rise in the future, and both companies can achieve a win-win situation."
"Boss Qian, are you sure you're not joking with me?" Yang Shiwen said unconfidently. "Wen Fan Company is just starting; how can it be compared to the Qian family!"
"I believe that in the near future, Wen Fan Company's status in Chuzhou will soar," Boss Qian stated with conviction.
"Since Boss Qian has said so, Dad, you don't need to refuse," Yang Zixin interjected. "We happen to be in need of large orders. If we cooperate, the company will have a place in Chuzhou in the future."
Yang Shiwen nodded quickly, feeling incredibly excited, as if a pie had fallen from the sky.
He was well aware of the future profits that would come from cooperating with the Qian family.
"Boss Qian is very thoughtful," Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Lu!" Boss Qian smiled faintly. Being able to satisfy Lu Fan put his mind at ease.
After the contract was signed, Boss Qian left with Brother Jin. Throughout the entire process, they were exceptionally amicable, showing no trace of arrogance.
