"Hehe..." Su Zhentian suddenly laughed, "This is the first ti in my life that I've been driven out, and in front of everyone at that. It won't be long before the whole of Bright Pearl City hears about how I was booted out of the club by the Fan Family father and son. By then, I'll be everyone's laughing stock!"
"Chairman..." Ding Xiang bit her lip, angrily saying, "We must not let the Fan Family father and son off the hook! We must make them pay a painful price!"
Su Zhentian pondered for a mont, then asked, "I want to ask you sothing, and you must tell the truth."
"You say, as long as I know, I will tell all, sparing no details."
"I'm asking you, who is more powerful, the Fan Family father and son or , Su Zhentian?"
"I think..."
"Think carefully before you answer ! Consider all aspects."
"Whether it's in terms of wealth, or in terms of connections and network, the Fan Family father and son cannot compare to you," Ding Xiang said earnestly.
"That's what I think, too," Su Zhentian nodded, "I've been operating in Bright Pearl City for decades, whether it's in business or in official circles, I've had a huge influence. The Fan Family father and son are at best nouveau riche with far less heritage."
"Mm," Ding Xiang nodded vigorously, "Chairman said it perfectly."
"If that's the case... why then would the Fan Family father and son dare to offend ?" Su Zhentian asked, "For a nobody like Gao Fei, they chose to burn bridges with . Have the Fan Family father and son gone mad?"
Ding Xiang fell silent; she also couldn't understand it. Both mbers of the Fan Family were shrewd individuals; it made no sense for them to commit such folly. What exactly was the problem?
"It seems we've overlooked sothing," Su Zhentian spoke slowly.
"What is it?" Ding Xiang asked eagerly.
Su Zhentian exhaled softly, his eyes gleaming sharply, "My rift with Gao Fei, the Fan Family father and son's choice to support Gao Fei, what does it signify? It shows that the Fan Family father and son value Gao Fei more..."
"How is that possible!" Ding Xiang's eyes widened in disbelief, "How can Gao Fei compare to you? You are the esteed Chairman, the acknowledged richest man in Bright Pearl City, and Gao Fei is nothing but a poor nobody..."
Su Zhentian raised his hand to stop Ding Xiang, "Don't forget, we haven't seen Gao Fei for over half a year."
"What could possibly change in over half a year?" Ding Xiang said.
"Go find out," Su Zhentian said thoughtfully, "I have a feeling that sothing's not right. Find out what Gao Fei has really been up to these past several months."
Ding Xiang nodded, "Alright, I will start the investigation imdiately."
Su Zhentian leaned back in his car seat, lit a cigar, and took a light puff. Then, he exhaled two streams of smoke from his nostrils, "A poor kid once at my rcy is now making a fool out of , it's quite laughable, ludicrously so."
No matter what, I must settle this score today!
Whoever dares to make lose face will receive it back a hundredfold, a thousandfold!
"Chairman... Gao Fei is back... as for the young miss..." Ding Xiang's expression hesitated, "If the young miss finds out that Gao Fei is back, I fear she might do sothing rash..."
"Don't tell her yet," said Su Zhentian.
"It's not sothing that can be kept secret forever, the young miss will find out sooner or later," Ding Xiang said with a wry smile.
"Let's hide it for one more day then," Su Zhentian sighed, "This Gao Fei is clearly my nesis. Without getting rid of him, I won't be able to live in peace." At that mont, Su Zhentian began to regret, regretting that he hadn't taken Gao Fei's life when he had the chance, letting Gao Fei have the opportunity to rise again.
Sotis, being kind is not a virtue.
...
Inside the spacious and bright hall.
Su Xiaorou sat on the couch, leisurely reading a magazine, her hair slightly wet, dressed in a pink nightgown, reclining on the couch, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, exuding a demure and delicate charm.
It had to be admitted, Su Xiaorou was indeed a beauty! A great beauty!
"Click..."
The tightly closed door was pushed open, and Su Zhentian entered with steady steps, a tired look on his face. He glanced at Su Xiaorou, "You're still up so late?"
"I can't sleep," Su Xiaorou replied indifferently.
"Xiaorou..." Su Zhentian stopped, seeming to want to say sothing, but then swallowed his words. He sighed faintly in the end, "It's late, you should go back to your room and sleep."
"Got it," Su Xiaorou nodded.
Su Zhentian made his way upstairs to rest.
"Snap!"
Su Xiaorou put down the magazine, her face showing a puzzled look, "What's with dad today? He seems off. And he seed to have sothing to say to just now... Never mind, I'll find out eventually." Seeing that it was getting late, Su Xiaorou stood up and made her way to her bedroom. Although her nightgown was loose, it could not hide Su Xiaorou's graceful figure.
If she were to enter a beauty pageant, she would surely take the crown.
...
Elsewhere.
Gao Fei stood in front of the window, holding a glass of red wine, admiring the nightscape outside while slowly savoring his wine, looking very content.
Having humiliated Su Zhentian tonight brought Gao Fei great satisfaction, especially upon seeing Su Zhentian's angry expression, Gao Fei felt even more delighted.
"Su Zhentian, oh Su Zhentian, you never imagined that you would have such a day, did you?" Gao Fei's mouth slowly curled into a smile, "Today is truly a good day! If only every day could be this joyful."
"Creak!"
The door suddenly opened, and Lu Hao peeked in with a sly look, "Brother Fei, are you lonely? Bored? Do you want to keep you company and chat?"
"No need," Gao Fei shook his head, "I'm not lonely, not bored at all."
"But I'm lonely, I'm bored."
"You've got the wrong person, you should go find Feng Yan, she'll relieve your boredom."
"Brother Fei, stop teasing ... I'll tell you the truth, I ca here to avoid Feng Yan," Lu Hao said with a woeful face, "Feng Yan, for so reason, insisted on sleeping with tonight, and I couldn't stand it anymore, so I ca to find you..."
"Lu Hao." Gao Fei turned around, speaking seriously, "Feng Yan is a nice girl."
"I know." Lu Hao nodded, "Feng Yan is indeed nice, frank and straightforward, which I like. But... she's just too ugly... Every ti I see her, I feel a bit... you know..."
"I'm going to ask you a question, and you must answer truthfully."
"Go ahead, ask."
"What did you feel the first ti you saw Feng Yan?"
"I was young then, didn't understand much, didn't feel much."
"And after you grew up? After you knew better? What did you feel?"
"...I felt disgust, I was horrified, I even thought, how could there be such an ugly woman in the world?" said Lu Hao.
"And now? Do you still feel the sa disgust and horror when you see Feng Yan?" Gao Fei continued to ask.
"This... It's better than before, not so disgusting now," admitted Lu Hao honestly, "mostly because I've gotten used to it..."
"Right." Gao Fei smiled, "You get used to it, and it's fine! Everything has a period of adaptation, once you're past that, it's fine. Actually, it's not bad for a woman to be a bit ugly; at least you don't have to worry about her cheating."
"Fine then, I'll let you have Feng Yan," said Lu Hao.
"If Feng Yan liked , I would definitely accept her, but right now she likes you. As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't seize the love of others, I absolutely cannot do such a thing," Gao Fei said earnestly.
"Brother Fei, can we not talk about Feng Yan? Can't we talk about sothing else?"
"You should leave, I'm going to sleep."
"No way, Feng Yan is still in my room... Hey, hey, hey... Brother Fei, what are you doing? Let go, let go..."
Gao Fei forcefully pushed Lu Hao out, "Don't bother again, or you'll be sorry." After saying that, Gao Fei closed the door and locked it.
"You're so heartless!" Lu Hao cursed bitterly.
"Lu Hao, what are you doing standing in front of Brother Fei's door? Hurry back to your room, it's ti for bed," Feng Yan walked out from the next room.
"Don't co over!" Lu Hao's face changed and he turned to run.
"Hey, what are you running for?" Feng Yan picked up her pace to chase after him, "I was the long-distance running champion at school, you can't outrun ." A few minutes later, Feng Yan caught Lu Hao and dragged him back to the room. Monts later, a wail of extre misery emanated from the room.
That night, Lu Hao really suffered.
...
That night, Su Zhentian couldn't sleep.
The next morning, Su Zhentian went to the company with dark circles under his eyes. To prevent his subordinates from seeing his haggard appearance, he purposefully put on a pair of sunglasses, which made him look quite cool.
In the afternoon, Ding Xiang walked into the Director's office with several papers in hand, "Director, I've investigated... this Gao Fei... is really... really... astonishing," Ding Xiang thought for a long ti and finally used the term "astonishing" to describe Gao Fei.
"Oh? Astonishing?" Su Zhentian raised his eyebrows, "Tell , how is he astonishing?"
"He... Director, you should see for yourself..." Ding Xiang placed the papers on the desk, "This is Gao Fei's information..." After a mont of thought, she decided to prepare Su Zhentian for what was coming, to prevent any adverse reaction, "Before you look, you'd better be ntally prepared..."
Seeing how seriously Ding Xiang spoke, Su Zhentian's curiosity grew even more. He lowered his head, glanced at the papers, and then froze. His face changed imdiately, "What kind of joke is this! How could this be!!!"
As Ding Xiang had anticipated, Su Zhentian was stunned upon seeing Gao Fei's information, not just Su Zhentian, but Ding Xiang herself had been shocked upon first seeing these docunts, nearly fainting from the surprise.
The changes in Gao Fei were truly too astonishing! Too incredible! Too unbelievable! It was utterly inconceivable!
It was simply a miracle!
