Chapter 132: Chapter 132
He Dahong was extremely shocked when Lin Fan mentioned the "diamond necklace worth a million."
He was planning to use tonight’s charity funds to buy a diamond necklace for his lover!
Is this a coincidence, or does Lin Fan know something?
Lin Fan spoke at this time, "Mr. He, what do you think of me rewarding her with a million-dollar diamond necklace? Is this a good idea?"
He Dahong laughed awkwardly, "Well... haha, I think it’s great. Mr. Lin really cares for his subordinates. Having a good boss like Mr. Lin is truly enviable."
Lin Fan must know something!
He’s deliberately saying this to warn me!
He Dahong was bewildered. How did Lin Fan know about him wanting to buy a diamond necklace for his lover?
Lin Fan said, "By the way, Mr. He, you were saying something earlier, thinking that I criticized your charity event and wanted to kick me out, right?"
He Dahong quickly replied, "No! It’s just a misunderstanding. Mr. Lin was just borrowing my venue to promote his own foundation. I think doing charity is a good thing, and I have no objections! I was presumptuous earlier, and I apologize to Mr. Lin!"
As he spoke, He Dahong respectfully bowed to Lin Fan.
This scene left everyone exchanging glances.
Feng Wanshan was puzzled. He wanted to provoke a conflict between He Dahong and Lin Fan, but it was resolved so quickly?
Lin Fan said, "If that’s the case, then someone must have instigated trouble. This person is really acting like a petty villain. Boss Feng, wouldn’t you agree?"
Lin Fan smiled at Feng Wanshan.
Feng Wanshan looked embarrassed, unable to refute for a moment.
He Dahong hurriedly said to smooth things over, "Mr. Lin, Boss Feng, it’s all a misunderstanding. Why don’t we leave it at that?"
He Dahong inwardly smiled wryly. He couldn’t afford to offend either Lin Fan or Feng Wanshan.
Feng Wanshan snorted coldly, not saying anything.
Lin Fan smiled but didn’t say anything further. He didn’t plan on exposing He Dahong right now, as it wouldn’t benefit him. This world is full of darkness, and he wasn’t some beacon of justice unless He Dahong overstepped his bounds.
Following this, the charity fundraising continued, but it had nothing to do with Lin Fan anymore.
However, Lin Fan couldn’t leave easily because many people voluntarily came over to toast him and express goodwill.
Lin Fan’s extravagant donation of 1 billion for a charity fund was truly shocking, stunning these upper-class figures present.
This young man, around 20 years old, had such a vast perspective, it was unimaginable.
Who knew when Yun City had produced such a character!
Moreover, Lin Fan was the Big Boss of Tianxue Entertainment and a major shareholder in several groups, so befriending Lin Fan naturally held no downside.
Regarding everyone’s toasts, Lin Fan accepted them all. He just wanted to establish connections with Yun City’s high society.
But he had to drive later, so he couldn’t drink alcohol, leaving Anna to handle it for him.
After all, Anna was Feng Wanshan’s person, so Lin Fan didn’t mind at all.
"Sorry, I need to drive later. Can my housekeeper drink on my behalf—is that okay?"
The people toasting had no objections. In fact, they were already satisfied that Lin Fan accepted their toast.
Anna was a bit puzzled. Lin Fan asked her to drink, she couldn’t refuse, so she had no choice but to drink cup after cup.
Anna had served in the military, aside from being skilled, her tolerance for alcohol wasn’t bad.
But there were simply too many people toasting, and eventually, even with her tolerance, it was hard for her to keep up.
Feng Wanshan noticed this and felt annoyed, thinking Lin Fan was too heartless for making Anna drink so much. If Anna got drunk and said something she shouldn’t, that would be bad!
But he couldn’t interfere. He couldn’t let Lin Fan become suspicious, so he had to pretend not to see anything.
His hatred for Lin Fan grew stronger.
"You rascal, several times you’ve crossed me. Do you really think I, Feng Wanshan, can’t deal with you? Just wait and see!"
Feng Wanshan thought bitterly, wanting to teach Lin Fan a lesson.
Lin Fan intentionally wanted Feng Wanshan to see Anna drinking, hoping Anna would get drunk.
To win over Anna, the first thing he needed to do was create a rift between Anna and Feng Wanshan. He wanted Feng Wanshan to be suspicious of Anna.
Of course, everything Lin Fan did was without leaving a trace. On the surface, he chatted and laughed with the wealthy and glamorous, and before long, he had made quite a few acquaintances.
Anna was already overwhelmed, her face flushed, and she was in a drunken state.
Seeing this, Lin Fan said, "It’s getting late, let’s go."
Anna, as if granted amnesty, nodded quickly.
Lin Fan smiled, "You seem a bit drunk, don’t you?"
Anna shook her head and said, "I’m fine."
But before she could finish speaking, she stumbled, struggling even to walk steadily.
Lin Fan said, "Still saying you’re fine? Hold onto my arm, and I’ll take you out."
"Mm." Anna didn’t insist since she was really exhausted, so she went forward and held onto Lin Fan’s arm.
Lin Fan, however, withdrew his hand and, in a natural motion, held her waist, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.
The two looked less like master and servant and more like a couple.
Feng Wanshan, seeing this scene, frowned, feeling somewhat annoyed and increasingly worried. Damn it, this guy Lin Fan, he wouldn’t take advantage of Anna being drunk, would he?
Just as Lin Fan and Anna reached the door, they suddenly saw a young woman approach.
"Mr. Lin," the young woman called out.
Lin Fan’s eyes brightened, this woman was so beautiful, a score of over 9!
A simple and elegant long dress accentuated her exquisite figure, almond-shaped face, white skin—obviously a rich and beautiful woman. Lin Fan never had the chance to see such a high-score rich and beautiful woman before, let alone have her proactively greet him.
"Hello," Lin Fan responded politely.
The young woman smiled, "Hello, Mr. Lin. I am Chu Yufei from the Chu Family in Yun City. I just heard about Mr. Lin planning to invest 1 billion to establish a foundation, and I am very interested. I wonder if Mr. Lin is available to chat?"
Lin Fan felt an ’oh’ in his heart. She indeed turned out to be the offspring of a prominent family, definitely a rich and beautiful woman! The Chu Family in Yun City is a top-tier prominent family. Earlier, the sailboat he and Feng Wanshan were bidding on was d by Chu Lin, the young master of the Chu Family in Yun City.
"What do you mean by interested?" Lin Fan asked.
Chu Yufei said, "I want to collaborate with Mr. Lin and join Mr. Lin’s foundation!"
Lin Fan was a bit surprised. He knew nothing about Chu Yufei and naturally couldn’t give her an answer. Besides, his foundation didn’t need collaboration with others, so he said, "I’m not really convenient right now. You see, she’s drunk, and I need to take her away."
Yet Chu Yufei didn’t give up, "Then is Mr. Lin willing to leave some contact information so we can find a time to talk tomorrow?"
Lin Fan thought for a moment before giving Chu Yufei his phone number, "Add me on WeChat later."
Chu Yufei was delighted and smiled, "Alright, I’m looking forward to meeting with Mr. Lin."
As she spoke, Chu Yufei held out her hand to shake Lin Fan’s.
Lin Fan then politely shook her hand, amazed in his heart, thinking: Wow, what soft and smooth little hands. Holding them for a while wouldn’t be tiring.
