Chapter 138: So Many Luxury Cars!

Chen Zhenxin sat in the middle of the main hall; although the situation was on the brink of spiraling out of control more than a few times, he was able to hold back his urge to get involved each time that happened.
He simply didn’t want to acknowledge his nephew’s newly revealed power. He still remembered Chen Fan’s disdainful expression when he said that he denounced his request for an apology.
“I am an elder of the family, the backbone of the Chen Family of the Jin City. I will not be bested by a high school student.”
With that thought in mind, he refrained from standing up to receive any of the prestigious guests from Jiang Bei, instead, he simply nodded at them to acknowledge their attendance.
“Boss Lu from Wan Xiang Group. Boss Zhang from Jiu Din Group, Xu Ao from Dong Wan Group…”
These three were CEOs of public firms. There were only over a few dozen public firms in the entire Hu Dong Province.
Luckily for Chen Zhenxin, they were in the Jin City, the provincial capital where Chen Zhenxin’s influence ran deep and far. Therefore, his home advantage had lent him the courage to sit still in his chair and didn’t have to be alerted by the appearance of multiple tyc.o.o.ns.
“Ah! Boss Zhang, nice to see you here!”
“Nice to meet you Boss Xu!”
“Please, here, grab a seat Boss Lu.”
Chen Zhenxin was an influential figure in his home province and therefore he could afford to be aloof before Jiang Bei’s magnates, the same could not be said about his younger brother. Chen Zhenxin moved about from the courtyard to the main hall to receive the guests. Every guest managed a company that was no smaller than The Chens Group, if not bigger. A lot of them ranked much higher in the top manager list of the Hu Dong Province’s business guild.
If he left them with a bad impression, he would never be able to survive in the field of business.
That being said, he also had helpers. Fourth Uncle, Fourth Auntie, and the in-laws all plastered on welcoming smiles and greeted the guests with him.
However, these tyc.o.o.ns barely spared them a glance. Once they were through the entrance, their routine was the same: they would bow to Chen Fan, and then to Chen Gexin and w.a.n.g Xiaoyun to offer their gifts. These multi-billionaire’s gifts were also getting increasingly more expensive.
Vacheron Constantin’s watch; Bugatti Veyron; a mansion by the creek that ran through Jin City, an estate in a foreign country, they just kept pouring in.
By then, Chen Gexin was dumbfounded and so was w.a.n.g Xiaoyun. They simply stood there speechless and dared not to accept any of these outrageously expensive gifts.
Xu Rongfei stood beside w.a.n.g Xiuaoyun and helped the couple deal with the tyc.o.o.ns as a daughter-in-law would. She accepted each and every gift from the tyc.o.o.ns and gave them a sweet smile. Most people who came to pay tribute to Chen Fan knew that she was Xu Ao’s daughter, and some were even aware of the intimate relations.h.i.+p between her and Chen Fan.
“Xiao Fei, why do you accept these gifts? It’s too much. I will have to return them back anyways.”
Even though w.a.n.g Xiaoyun was from a prominent family and a self-made multi-millionaire, she was scared by the amount of wealth offered freely to her.
The combined worth of these gifts was in the hundreds of millions, enough to create another Jin Xiu Group.
“That’s alright, auntie. These gifts were their appreciation for Brother Chen Fan. Don’t worry, go ahead and take them.” Xu Rongfei said cheerfully.
“Xiao Fei, can you please tell me the truth? What happened to Chen Fan?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyun seized a break in the flow of guests and asked while holding Xu Rongfei’s arm.
She was concerned that if Chen Fan had misused her less-than-amicable relations.h.i.+p with the w.a.n.g Family.
The w.a.n.g family of Yan Jin was one of the top families in China. If Chen Fan so much as hinted his connection with the w.a.n.g family, all the rich men and women would flock to him to pay tribute. However, neither w.a.n.g Xiaoyun nor Chen Gexin wanted anything to do with the w.a.n.g family, otherwise, they would have stayed in Yan Jin and became an elite.
“Um.. My dad forbids me to say anything about it.” Xu Rongfei stuck the tip of her tongue out and said sheepishly.
“Auntie w.a.n.g, I can only tell you that Brother Chen Fan is super bad-a.s.s. He is the most powerful man in Jiang Bei, not even Sheng Ronghua, the richest man of Jiang Bei could rival his position.”
“Sheng Ronghua?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyun gasped.
Sheng Ronghua was a household name in the Hu Dong province. He used to be number thirty on the Hurun Wealth List. His real estate company, the Wan Rong Real estate even had a branch in Zhong Hai and was w.a.n.g Xiaoyun’s main compet.i.tor. Having dealt with Sheng Ronghua for many years, w.a.n.g Xiaoyun knew his methods and clout every well.
Her company was nothing but child’s play before the mighty Wan Rong Group.
However, never had she thought that her son would have already surpa.s.sed the main compet.i.tor that she had tried so hard to catch up with and failed.
“That’s impossible! Xiao Fan is not even eighteen, he is a high school student!”
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun could not wrap her mind around the situation.
However powerful Chen Fan was, even if he was a genius, a prodigy, he would not be able to make a few billion dollars in less than half a year. She had never heard of any unimaginable feat such as what her son had pulled off.
