287: Chapter 287: Representing the Mountain People, Thank You
Royal Hotel, gambling hall, Fang Wenxi’s face was so dark that it looked as if it could drip water.
With one sentence, it seed as if he had expended all of his strength.
Through Fang Wenxi’s eyes, laced with murderous intent, it was clear he wouldn’t mind ensuring Lin Fei disappeared forever, should the circumstances permit.
Had Fang Wenxi been defeated by Lin Fei in a business confrontation and lost a contract worth a billion, Fang Wenxi would not have been so infuriated.
In the business world, victory and defeat were commonplace.
No one would completely denounce Fang Wenxi as a person due to a single defeat.
However, Fang Wenxi had gambled away ishilin, worth about a billion, to Lin Fei at the gambling table.
Although this bet had been made under pressure and even felt orchestrated, the process hardly mattered.
People would inevitably focus only on the result.
And the result was that Fang Wenxi had lost ishilin, worth about a billion, because of a gambling ga.
After this incident, with a crowd of entrepreneurs invited to the charity banquet as witnesses, Fang Wenxi was destined to beco the laughingstock of the Zhonghai business world.
Even though the Fang Family was wealthy and powerful, losing a billion was still not enough to shake its foundation.
Nevertheless, losing a billion in a gambling ga was sure to tarnish the great young master of the Fang Family.
The Fang Family’s reputation, as well as Fang Wenxi’s personal capabilities, would inevitably suffer from external skepticism due to this incident.
It was easy to imagine that after tonight, the news of Fang Wenxi losing a billion-dollar family fortune in a gambling ga would provoke a public uproar in Zhonghai.
“Next Monday, you can send soone to take over ishilin.”
Having lost fair and square, in the presence of many entrepreneurs invited to the charity banquet, and with the de facto deputy leader Gu Lanzi vouching, Fang Wenxi, even with several more guts, would not dare to renege.
“In that case, thank you.” Having settled the score with Fang Wenxi and won back ishilin for his boss wife Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei, the senior official, would naturally not be stingy in thanking the “generous” great young master of the Fang Family.
“Vice Leader Gu, I’ve just rembered there are so matters I need to attend to.
Please excuse my early departure.” This thank you from Lin Fei, heard by Fang Wenxi, was undoubtedly another heavy blow to his already sinking heart.
Fang Wenxi, who was forcibly restraining his inner fury, was nearly driven to spit blood by his anger.
Fortunately, Fang Wenxi had experienced his share of troubles and forcibly suppressed the extre rage that was ready to burst forth, directly ignoring Lin Fei’s thank you.
“In that case, Mr.
Fang, please have a safe journey ho, I won’t see you out.”
Gu Lanzi, having witnessed the gambling ga between Fang Wenxi and Lin Fei herself, could easily guess what was on Fang Wenxi’s mind.
Under such circumstances, she naturally wouldn’t make any effort to persuade Fang Wenxi to stay.
As soon as Gu Lanzi finished speaking, Fang Wenxi cast a deep glance at Lin Fei and, with a discreet look at the de facto deputy leader Gu Lanzi, he turned and left without a second thought.
If, before the icy CEO Mu Shanshan had married Lin Fei, Fang Wenxi would naturally stay until the end of any banquet involving Mu Shanshan, hoping for more interaction with her.
Now, however, Fang Wenxi, who had lost a billion, obviously had no intention of staying and bringing more misery upon himself.
…
“Do you have nothing to say to ?!” In a corner of the Royal Hotel banquet hall, Mu Shanshan’s beautiful eyes looked intently at Lin Fei, filled with a hint of surprise.
Although Lin Fei, her bargain husband, had discussed the matter with her beforehand, considering Lin Fei’s shaless nature, Mu Shanshan hadn’t expected that her bargain husband could genuinely win back ishilin for her.
It wasn’t that CEO Mu held a lack of trust in her bargain husband Lin Fei; the gamble between Lin Fei and Fang Wenxi had simply been too astonishing.
Anyone, before the event happened, would not have expected that Fang Wenxi would indeed gamble with Lin Fei, let alone that Lin Fei could win the ga.
In fact, that she had managed to hold herself back until this mont to ask the question was already a good demonstration of the great self-control possessed by the esteed president of Mu Group.
“Indeed, there are so things I just can’t keep inside.”
“Speak!”
“Honey, I helped you win back ishilin, don’t you think you should show so gratitude?”
“You should know that’s not what I want to hear.”
Mu Shanshan’s petite eyes grew cold, and a chill began to spread across her stunning face.
Although Lin Fei, her nominal husband, helping her win back ishilin was certainly a happy occasion.
However, at this mont, Mu Shanshan evidently wanted to know more how Lin Fei had orchestrated the victory for her.
For example, she was curious about where the one billion that her nominal husband Lin Fei transferred to Gu Lanzi ca from!
“President Mu, I hope I’m not disturbing you?”
Just as Mu Shanshan was about to cast everything aside and interrogate Lin Fei, her nominal husband, Gu Lanzi, who had sent off most of the entrepreneurs invited to the charitable dinner, gracefully approached Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei.
“Leader Gu, thanks a lot for today, I’m planning to add another donation of ten million.” The arrival of Gu Lanzi diverted so of Mu Shanshan’s attention, though she was not clear on the past between Gu Lanzi and Lin Fei.
However, as perceptive as Mu Shanshan was, she could see that without Gu Lanzi, Lin Fei would not have won tonight’s gamble with Fang Wenxi so effortlessly.
The reason she didn’t thank Lin Fei, the primary hero, but instead expressed her appreciation to Gu Lanzi, the supporter, was because Lin Fei was her husband, the president of Mu Group, and there was no need for excessive formalities between husband and wife.
Gu Lanzi, on the other hand, was different; regardless of her past interactions and collaboration with Lin Fei, to her, President Mu, Gu Lanzi was still an outsider.
“In that case, on behalf of the people in mountainous areas, I thank President Mu.” What Mu Shanshan was thinking was not sothing Gu Lanzi knew or intended to know; her visit was clearly not to seek out Mu Shanshan.
“If President Mu doesn’t mind, I’d like to have a private word with Vice Minister Lin.”
“Of course.” Mu Shanshan’s eyes, reflective with thought, glanced over Lin Fei, and the woman gave a slight nod of her head to Gu Lanzi before deliberately stepping aside.
“What, you don’t have anything to say to ?” Unlike Mu Shanshan’s nearly identical inquiry, the only difference was that Gu Lanzi’s seductive phoenix eyes were fluttering at Lin Fei, flaunting an indescribable challenge.
“Thanks for today.”
“That’s it?!”
“What else?
My wife is watching over there.”
With that casually delivered response, Lin Fei had certainly managed to infuriate Gu Lanzi, the grand leader.
Angered, Gu Lanzi scoffed, “I thank you on behalf of the people in the mountainous areas.”
“What do you an?!”
“Your one billion, I will donate it in the na of Mu Group.”
With that, Gu Lanzi’s charming lips curved into an enticing arc, and she walked away in her high heels.
Leaving Lin Fei alone and in a state of disarray…
