"Is there something wrong?" Lu Fan smiled faintly, "You are my disciple, taking over my business is normal!"
Gu Wen was about to decline, but Han Yunhai smiled and said, "Since the master has said so, why do you still need to refuse!"
"Alright, I'll try!" Gu Wen nodded, feeling even more helpless.
He knew that his family was a family of medicine and martial arts, and he hadn't even taken over the Gu family's business, but now he was going to take over Qingyun Group.
When the time was almost right, Lu Fan left Qingyun Group and headed towards Tianxia Mingchu.
Today was Shen Xiaoxiao's birthday, and Lu Fan naturally wouldn't forget it.
It was just that Lu Fan was a little troubled, not knowing what to give.
In desperation, Lu Fan bought a pair of hairpins on the street and casually headed towards Tianxia Mingchu.
At the entrance of Tianxia Mingchu, Shen Guofeng waited in the cold wind, and Boss Qian stood by his side, his expression even more serious.
"Brother Shen, are you sure Master Lu will come today?" Boss Qian rubbed his hands, seemingly quite cold.
"Of course, I'm sure!" Shen Guofeng nodded, "Master Lu values Xiaoxiao quite a bit. Today is her birthday, how could Master Lu not come!"
Boss Qian looked envious, "Xiaoxiao is truly promising. If she can establish a connection with Master Lu, the Shen family will surely rise rapidly in Chuzhou in the future!"
"These are all things for the future!"
Shen Guofeng smiled slightly, with a hint of pride.
Being able to connect with Master Lu of Jiangnan, his future prospects would be limitless.
"Dad, why are you still outside?" Shen Xiaoxiao hurried, "It's so windy outside, and your health is not good. You should go in quickly!"
"This little wind is nothing!" Shen Guofeng waved his hand, "You hurry inside! We'll wait a bit longer!"
"Since Mr. Lu promised to come, he will never be absent!" Shen Xiaoxiao reminded, "Why do you have to wait outside!"
"You don't understand, child!" Boss Qian said directly, "You should go in quickly! Your dad and I will wait a bit longer!"
Shen Xiaoxiao was bewildered and even more helpless. Shen Guofeng and Boss Qian were not ordinary people and had status in Chuzhou, but she couldn't understand why they were waiting for Lu Fan at the door.
To entertain guests, Shen Xiaoxiao had to go to the banquet hall.
This banquet hall was quite luxurious, it was the best banquet hall in Tianxia Mingchu.
In previous birthdays, Shen Xiaoxiao had never held her birthday banquet in such a good banquet hall. She didn't know why Shen Guofeng had specifically chosen the most luxurious banquet hall this year.
"Xiaoxiao, long time no see!"
Just then, a voice sounded, and a man holding flowers said, "Happy birthday!"
"Li Qingwen?" Shen Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, "Why are you here?"
"I just got off the plane and knew it was your birthday, so I rushed over!"
Li Qingwen smiled, "Aren't you very touched?"
"Weren't you studying abroad?" Shen Xiaoxiao said with surprise, "This is really unexpected!"
"I returned a few months ago!"
Li Qingwen smiled, "You won't blame me for not coming to see you earlier, will you!"
"Look at what you're saying!" Shen Xiaoxiao patted Li Qingwen's shoulder, "We are best friends, how could I blame you!"
At the entrance of Tianxia Mingchu, Shen Guofeng and the other two were shivering from the cold.
The other subordinates also waited quietly, not daring to speak casually. They didn't know what important person was coming today that would cause two important figures to wait like this.
Soon, Lu Fan got out of the taxi, walked over, humming a tune.
Seeing Lu Fan's figure, Shen Guofeng ran out first, "Mr. Lu, your presence at Xiaoxiao's birthday banquet today truly brings glory to the Shen family!"
"Boss Shen is too kind!"
Lu Fan smiled faintly, "Since I promised, how could I not come!"
"Mr. Lu is right!" Boss Qian stepped forward to flatter him, "It's cold outside, we should go inside to chat. Tea has already been prepared at the main table!"
Lu Fan didn't say much and walked towards the banquet hall, his expression even more indifferent.
If it weren't for Shen Xiaoxiao's invitation, Lu Fan would naturally not have stepped in easily.
He knew clearly that Shen Guofeng and Boss Qian were acting like this only because they were wary of his identity.
Inside the banquet hall, Li Qingwen took out a gift, "This is my birthday gift for you!"
Shen Xiaoxiao opened it and was even more surprised, "Is this a globally limited edition handbag?"
"That's right, that one!" Li Qingwen smiled, "As long as you like it, my effort is not in vain!"
Many young girls in the banquet hall looked on with envy. That bag was a global limited edition, and even with money, it might not be available.
More importantly, this bag was very valuable. Giving such a precious item showed Li Qingwen's wealth.
Facing the envious gazes of everyone, Li Qingwen enjoyed it immensely.
He had a super memory since childhood, achieved academic success, and coupled with his considerable family background, he had always been full of confidence.
Shen Xiaoxiao was also quite excited, but she was not interested in such luxury goods. If it were other girls, they would probably go crazy for it.
Just then, Lu Fan arrived at the banquet hall, but he didn't attract anyone's attention. It was only when Shen Guofeng and others entered that everyone looked towards the entrance.
Boss Shen and Boss Qian were quite famous in Chuzhou, and everyone present knew them.
"Mr. Lu!"
Shen Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and hurried towards Lu Fan, "You're finally here! My dad has been waiting outside for a long time!"
"I was delayed by traffic on the way!"
Lu Fan smiled, "I've made you worry!"
"It's no trouble at all, Mr. Lu coming here is already giving me face!" Shen Xiaoxiao said enthusiastically.
Shen Guofeng had instructed not to offend Lu Fan, and Shen Xiaoxiao was observant. Someone that her dad cared about so much must have a significant status.
Li Qingwen frowned and looked at Lu Fan with a hint of hostility.
He was originally the focus of the entire venue, but due to Lu Fan's appearance and Shen Xiaoxiao leaving, he felt a bit awkward.
"Hello, my name is Li Qingwen." Li Qingwen stepped forward, "I'm Xiaoxiao's best friend!"
Lu Fan was stunned, then smiled, "Lu Fan!"
"Today is Xiaoxiao's birthday, I assume you are also Xiaoxiao's friend." Li Qingwen said kindly, "May I ask what rare treasures you have brought? It would be good to broaden everyone's horizons!"
Shen Guofeng frowned. Lu Fan was such a person that his presence at the banquet was enough to bring glory to the Shen family, so why would he talk about rare treasures.
"I really didn't bring anything!" Lu Fan shrugged and took out a gift box, "I came in a hurry and bought a hairpin on the street!"
"A hairpin?"
Many people were stunned and prepared to watch the show. Li Qingwen had just given a limited edition handbag. Compared to Lu Fan, it was like heaven and earth.
Li Qingwen chuckled, "Giving a hairpin at a birthday banquet, brother, you really have a unique style!"
"As long as the host likes it, what you give doesn't seem to matter!" Lu Fan shrugged.
