Chapter 30: Kick Him Out!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Seeing that Chu Minhui and Chen Fan’s conversation was going nowhere, Jiang Churan furrowed her brows and said, “Chu Minhui, we are at an auction reception, if you want to blow off some steam, I suggest you do it somewhere else, and Fei-Fei is not going with you.”
“Hehe” Chu Minhui didn’t even spare Jiang Churan a glance. He closed in and gave Chen Fan a hot glare.
“Kiddo, you are the first person who dares to challenge me, and you will be the last as well.”
Chen Fan smiled. Even as he was going to utter a reply, an imposing middle-aged man walked over to them and asked hotly, “What’s the meaning of this? Who are you, and how dare you stir trouble at our event?”
“s.h.i.+t, Manager Zhu is here; someone is going to get hurt.” An older teenager who recognized the middle-aged man murmured.
Zhang Yumeng sneered and said, “I hope he kicks both Chu Minhui and Chen Fan out of here; I don’t like either of them.”
“Manager Zhu, My name is Chu Minhui.”
Chu Minhui took a step back and look to Chen Fan. “I suspect that this man has sneaked into the reception without an invitation. I want you to kick him out right now.”
Manager Zhu paused for a second and realized that it was Chu Minhui who he was talking to. He changed his harsh tone into that of a placating one, “Yes, Young Master Chu.”
He then turned around to Chen Fan and then said, “Sir, please show me your invitation.”
Xu Rongfei piped up indignantly, “Why does he have to show his invitation? Why don’t you check Chu Minhui’s invitation?”
Manager Zhu was unfazed by the question. He said calmly, “Because I know Young Master Chu is a good friend of my boss.”
But I can’t remember who this young gentleman over here is even though I have written all the invitations by myself. May I ask who you are? ”
“His name is Chen Fan, a no account from Si Shui County.” Chu Minhui snorted. “I really don’t think that he is on your invitation list.”
As soon as Chu Minhui fished his words, Xu Rongfei’s mind raced.
She had been wondering the same question. How did Chen Fan get into the auction even if he didn’t have any connections in the city? Even she almost didn’t make it if not for Zhang Yumeng. Only those who owned tens of millions of a.s.sets would have received an invitation.
“I don’t think he has one. He must have snuck in.” An onlooker jeered at Chen Fan.
“I bet you are right! Look at all the garbage that he is wearing. I can’t believe that they let him in.” Another one took a jab at Chen Fan.
“He is in knee deep trouble! The owner of the Fang Sheng International Group was not someone he could mess with. Plus he is on Chu Minhui’s bad terms too. He is as dead as a doornail.” Someone heaved a sigh.
“Sir, please show me your invitation, or else I will have to call the security.” Manager Zhu’s bleak face was as hard as a rock, and his voice was final.
“I don’t have an invitation.” Chen Fan paused a second and then confessed.
A swell of surprise rose in the hall.
“I told you so!” An arrogant smile appeared on Chu Minhui’s face. He looked down on Chen Fan like he would towards a defenseless insect under the tip of his toe.
“How did you get in without an invitation?”
Manager Zhu’s was shocked by the answer. He knotted his brows and looked at Chen Fan suspiciously as if he was a thief. If his supervisor knew that someone had snuck into such a high profile venue, he would be blamed for not doing his job right.
Already, he felt cold sweat slide down in between his shoulder blades. Fortunately, he had intervened before the big wigs in the room caught wind of it.
“Awesome! Now Chen Fan is dead!” The development sent Chang Wen reveling in her mind. Revenge could not have been any sweeter.
Ji Xingyu shook his head and said, “Man, why do you get yourself into s.h.i.+t like this. They are out of your league man; you should have stayed out of it. Otherwise, you will make yourself a laughingstock.”
Even Si Yinxia was disappointed to find out that the rival he had cared so much about couldn’t even make it past the entrance of the event without cheating. He lamented the fact that he had cared so much about someone who was so worthless.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Jiang Churan’s face.
Shocked by the turn of the event, Xu Rongfei stomped the floor anxiously as she pointed a finger at Chen Fan. “Brother Chen Fan, how could you— ”
“I am not done yet.” Chen Fan cut her short.
“I don’t have an invitation, but the person who invited me does. Just check your guest book, and we can clear this out.”
“You are invited to come here?” General Zhu murmured doubtfully. “Only the biggest bosses had the privilege to invite others, such as our boss and his son.”
“My boss has only one son, are you sure he invited you?”
Chen Fan was at a loss for a second. He didn’t recall Wei Ziqin mention that she was the owner of the Fang Sheng International Group. Plus, Manger Zhu had said clearly that his boss had a son, not a daughter.
Seeing Chen Fan had kept his silence, Manager Zhu became hesitant to take any action.
Finally, he decided to ask someone to check the guest book like the boy had suggested, thinking it was better to be safe than sorry.
