“Haven’t you heard, the freshman Fang Qiong from the business management faculty has a boyfriend now.”

“Yes, I had just heard the news. It’s really fast isn’t it?”

“What? I didn’t hear about it at all.”

Even as everyone discussed the news, follow-up news already started to spread across the campus. It turned out that Fang Qiong’s boyfriend was a no-account from the business school.

A highly sought after campus flower was taken so easily by a rich heir from the business school. It was a brazen insult to all the male students of the Jin City University. Overnight, Chen Fan had become the public enemy at the Jin City University.

Meanwhile, the two who were involved in the scandal were affected by stink eyes around them. They met up every morning for breakfast and at the school library. In the evening, they would hang out around Jin City.

Although Chen Fan and Fang Qiong hadn’t seen each other for six years, it didn’t take long for them to rekindle their old flame.

Along the Jinlin River, inside a mid-level dim-sum restaurant.

“Xiao Fan, do you still like chocolate as much as you used to?”

Fang Qiong asked coquettishly as she pushed a plateful of chocolate b.a.l.l.s toward Chen Fan.

“Well, you haven’t changed either and still liked cold drinks. Don’t you remember that when you were on your period, the cold drinks always gave you cramps?” Chen Fan flung back at her.

“Stop it, you! don’t make fun of me!” Fang Qiong replied hotly.

Whenever she talked to Chen Fan, She transformed from a cold and aloof G.o.ddess into a cute and down to earth girl-next-door. If Song Zhe, Zhong Yaoyao and their friends were here to see what she was like, they would be very surprised.

“Ah-ha! That’s the Xiao Qiong I remembered.” Chen Fan replied readily.

Fang Qiong paused a second as the smile on her face slowly disappeared. She said with a disheartened voice.

“We have all grown up, you know. After I moved to Jin City, I felt so lonely. I knew n.o.body at the school while everyone else around me is so… much better than me. But the helpless and loneliness finally drove me to work harder in order to blend in with new friends. Plus, Father’s health is deteriorating ever since we moved here, he was about as helpless as I was, so I was his only helper. ”

Chen Fan listened quietly as the girl started to fill him in on what she had gone through in the six years. He had heard of some of the events in his past life, but for some, it was the first time he ever heard of them. Slowly, Chen Fan felt a strong warm feeling rise inside of him,

“Xiao Qiong, don’t you worry. You have me now, and I will share carry the burden with you, and protect you. If it is the world you want, I will conquer it and hand it to you on a platter.”

Chen Fan reached out and hold on to the girl’s hand as he said solemnly.

Fang Qiong panicked slightly and then said softly: “Xiao Fan, if I don’t work hard, who will support my family? Who will run Ming De Group? I am an only child of my father and his only hope.”

Fang Qiong paused and then smiled broadly: “It’s true that I have my own dreams, but it is not to conquer the world. I want to study at the best university in the world to learn from the best and to see what the real elites of the world are like.”

Chen Fan pulled his hand back and smiled back at Xiao Qiong. He was very pleased with Xiao Qiong’s answer.

That was the Fang Qiong he had remembered. Wherever she was, let it be on the earth or in the Cangmin Immortal Realm, she was always more ambitious and strong-willed than him.

“Go ahead and fight then, Xiao Qiong. I will always be here for you and catch you if you fall. In the end, you will realize that the world is already wrapped up nicely in my pocket, waiting for you to ask for it.”

Chen Fan looked away from the girl and into the distance. He saw fireworks across the river.

Flashes of sparkling fireworks pierced the dark night and lit up the opposite bank of the river.

Jin City, Wan Rong Royal Wood Community, Mansion number one…

Wan Rong Royal Wood Community was a top real estate development by the Wan Rong Group. The cheapest house here was worth well over ten million yuan. Mansion number one was worth as much as twenty million. However, this house was never put up for sale since the developer, Sheng Ronghua had given this property to his son as a gift.

Shen Junwen was sitting in the office on the second floor. He studied a pile of papers before him attentively.

“Young Lord, that is all I can find about Chen Fan.” A middle-aged man encased in a brand name suit said respectfully.

As a high-level manager of a public company, he made millions a year and his decision would affect thousands of people. However, when he stood before Shen Junwen, who was younger than twenty, he scarcely dared to breathe.

The man knew the ruthless methods of the handsome young man. There were many veterans of the company who followed his father Sheng Ronghua since the inception of the company, and some of them had looked down on the young man. Those men were all kicked out of the company without any severance pay, worse, some were even sent to jail.

“Chen Fan, born in 1990, eighteen years old. He is from Chu Zhou City in Jiang Bei. He attended Si Shui Primary School and then Si Shui County high school. He was transferred to Ivy League High School at the Chu Zhou City at grade twelve. He didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the National University Entrance Exam, and as to how he was able to get into the Business School remains unknown.”

Shen Junwen read the profile quietly.

He had never taken Chen Fan too seriously, as he was convinced that this ordinary-looking young man posed no threat to him at all. However, the rumors that were spreading among the students about Chen Fan and Fang Qiong finally caught his attention. Fang Qiong was his ultimate prize, as well as his bottom line that he would fiercely uphold.

Shen Junwen was a cunning man, and he knew the importance of planning. Therefore, he didn’t act out immediately; instead, he did thorough research on Chen Fan’s background. After he had gathered all the info he needed, he would then decided on the method he would use to deal with Chen Fan. He could either outright murder Chen Fan or pressure the Fang family to separate the two.

He was very confident that Chen Fan would not pa.s.s Fang Qiong’s mother’s scrutiny. She was a materialistic woman and she would not allow her daughter to date a no-account.

“Family background: his father is Chen Gexin, an officer at the Si Shui County who is in charge of Agriculture Drainage. He was from the Chen family of Jin City, and was the third son of Chen Huaian.”
