Attendants of the c.o.c.ktail reception were divided into two groups. At the center of the hall were the real deals of the Chu Zhou City. They joined each other to discuss the coming government edicts and to make handshake deals that were in the millions.
Around the edge of this main group were small congregations of teenagers and children who had tagged along with their parents to come to see the auction.
Among all the young girls in the hall, Jiang Churan and Xu Rongfei were two of the most beautiful girls, and they had caught many people’s attention.
The moment that Xu Rongfei started to talk with Chen Fan, many curious eyes peered at the two.
“Who the h.e.l.l is that boy?”
“No clue, I don’t think he is a friend of anyone.”
“An outsider? Oh my! It looks like they are very close to each other. Could he be Xu Rongfei’s boyfriend?”
Everyone was perplexed by the strange development.
Finally, someone who had recognized Chen Fan chimed in.
“He is a student of the Ivy League High School, originally from the Si Shui County. He has a knack for fighting. Rumor had it that Xu Rongfei had given herself into his arms just a few days ago in public.”
“Really? How would Xu Rongfei be interested in someone of his kind?”
“No kidding! Look at that rag he is wearing; those are cheaper than what my servants wore.”
“G.o.d d.a.m.n it! How could we let an outsider come in and have his way with our best girl?”
Most people’s eyes turned green with envy as soon as they heard that he was Xu Rongfei’s boyfriend.
Xu Rongfei and Jiang Churan were two of the most popular girls among the rich kids. Many boys dreamed of becoming either one of the two’s boyfriend. Many older boys missed the two girls even after they had gone to university. They couldn’t stomach the insulting actions of the new-boy, making a move on one of the hotties and get away with it.
“If Chu Minhui was here, that kid would be dead.” Someone said bitterly.
It won’t be the first time that Chu Minhui had to do it. A couple of years ago, he had to chase after one daring compet.i.tor and beat him up so bad that his victim had to be bed bound for three months.
As the tanagers concerned themselves with the drama, their parents were having a great time networking with each other.
Li Yichen trailed behind a stately middle-aged man who had introduced one person after another to him. These guests might be insignificant outside of the city, but inside of the Chu Zhou City, they represented the leaders of their fields.
Suddenly, Li Yichen noticed that his sidekick, Mo Hill was winking at him.
Li Yichen excused himself and walked over to Mo Hill. He was not very happy for Mo Hill’s interruption.
“Haven’t you seen that my dad is introducing the minister to me?”
“I was at the food bar, and I saw that boy we met at the bar!” Mo Hill hurried a reply.
“Chen Fan?” Li Yichen’s eyes glinted and then said curiously, “How could he even be able to get in here? A reservation is required for this event calls for a few dozen million yuan.”
“That is why I suspected that he had sneaked in here.” Mo Hill agreed. “He is fast and strong, so I figure that it shouldn’t be too difficult for him to sneak in here. ”
“It’s not impossible.” Li Yichen nodded. “But what does that have anything to do with me?”
Although Li Yichen was wary of Chen Fan, he didn’t think that the new-boy would pose any real threat to him.
Lou Xiaoxiao had been standing next to the two, and she cracked a smile and then said proudly, “I have sent a text to Chu Minhui and told him that Xu Rongfei was here, but who would think that the trouble maker is here as well. If Chu Minhui ever saw him with Xu Rongfei…”
Li Yichen was taken aback by the news. He knew that Chu Minhui’s short temper would very likely prompt him to start a brawl with the new-boy on sight.
“Speaking of the devil! Look, isn’t that Chu Minhui?” Mo Hill gasped.
The other two looked over toward the entrance, and they saw a brawny young man in a gym suit storm into the event hall, pus.h.i.+ng people out of his way as he went.
“And so it begins… anyone want some popcorn?” The dramatic development amused li Yichen.
Even as Chen Fan and Xu Rongfei were gleefully sampling the ensemble of deserts on the table, a man came over to them with a few large strides.
“Fei-Fei, come here for a second, I need to talk to you.”
Chu Minhui didn’t even spare Chen Fan a glance as he fixed his eyes on Xu Rongfei.
“What’s up? Why can’t you just tell me here?” Xu Rongfei fumbled a reply.
“Here?” Chu Minhui scanned around him and then turned to Chen Fan and Jiang Churan and then said with a commanding voice, “Get out, I need to talk to her privately.”
Before Jiang Churan could protest, Chen Fan said with a frown, “Why would we leave?”
