Chapter 230: Chapter 230

On the dining table, a few homemade dishes were placed, both meat and vegetables, all made exquisitely with full color, aroma, and taste.

Lin Fan sat by the dining table but didn’t move his chopsticks, waiting for Feng Ruolan, reminiscing about the wonderful scene by the pool, almost savoring it.

The so-called feast for the eyes was even more tempting than the delicious dishes before him.

"Little Fan, why aren’t you eating?"

Feng Ruolan walked over, having changed into casual clothes, filled with a charming femininity that was hard to look away from.

As a financial powerhouse, Feng Ruolan usually appeared in front of people dressed in professional attire, a definite strong woman.

This little feminine side of hers wasn’t really something everyone had the chance to see, but she didn’t mind at all letting Lin Fan see this side.

Lin Fan admitted he was a bit enchanted by this charming woman, but unfortunately, her identity was his sister, and she likely only saw him as a little brother.

"I’m waiting to eat with you, sister." Lin Fan said with a smile, standing up to pull a chair for Feng Ruolan.

"Thank you." Feng Ruolan sat down and smiled, "It’s been a long time since you tasted Aunt Cui’s cooking; try your favorite Mapo Tofu while it’s hot."

Feng Ruolan picked up her chopsticks, about to serve Lin Fan some food.

Suddenly, her phone rang, it was a call from her company’s assistant.

"Sorry, let me take this call." Feng Ruolan put down her chopsticks and answered the phone.

On the other side was her assistant’s somewhat anxious voice: "President Feng, at three in the afternoon, you have a meeting with Sile International Company, the guests have already arrived, when will you return?"

Feng Ruolan checked the time, it was already two-thirty. If she rushed back now, she could barely make it to the company at the appointed time, but if she ate with Lin Fan, she would definitely be late.

Feng Ruolan sighed in her heart, time flies when you’re having fun with Little Fan.

However, it was rare to have a meal with Lin Fan, and she really didn’t want to leave him to go back to the office.

"Inform the guests that I have something to attend to and will be delayed. Ask them to wait for me at the company and convey my apologies." Feng Ruolan instructed, ultimately choosing to stay and have lunch with Lin Fan.

Seeing Feng Ruolan hang up the phone, Lin Fan said, "Sister, if you’re busy, you should go. Don’t mind me."

Feng Ruolan casually said, "It’s fine, it’s rare for me to have a meal with you, no one should interrupt us. Come, try this Mapo Tofu."

Feng Ruolan picked up a piece of tofu for Lin Fan.

The richest woman in Yun City was just that willful!

Lin Fan was a bit moved, his sister was really spoiling him.

Lin Fan picked up the tofu to eat, it was indeed delicious, especially tasty because his sister had served it to him.

The two began to eat, chatting and laughing, the atmosphere very pleasant.

But just as they were eating, Feng Ruolan’s assistant called again.

More anxious than last time: "President Feng, I told the guests, but they are very angry, saying that being late is disrespectful and demanding you return immediately, or they will cancel the cooperation."

Feng Ruolan frowned: "Tell him if he’s unwilling to wait, he can leave. Either wait, or get lost, convey those exact words."

In Feng Ruolan’s eyes, nothing was more important than eating with Lin Fan, even if the sky were falling, she had to finish this meal with Lin Fan, let alone a cooperation she didn’t care much about.

Indeed, the financial industry’s heroine, with two words: domineering.

Of course, Feng Ruolan was not unreasonable; she was very polite at first, helpless when the other party contradicted her, she was just unkind.

Feng Ruolan continued to eat with Lin Fan.

Finally, the assistant sent a message, Sile International’s representative considered and decided to wait for Feng Ruolan to return, obviously, Sile International wanted the cooperation more than Longheng, so they chose to compromise with Feng Ruolan.

When they finally finished eating, it was already past 3 PM.

Feng Ruolan said, "Little Fan, you can give me a ride to the company later."

Today, Lin Fan came to the company to pick her up, her car was still at the company.

Lin Fan readily agreed.

After the meal, Lin Fan drove the Rolls-Royce to take Feng Ruolan back to Longheng Mansion.

On the way, Feng Ruolan called her assistant, saying she was on her way back.

They arrived in front of Longheng Mansion, where a beautiful assistant in business attire and a man in a suit were waiting.

This man, probably in his thirties, dressed in a brand-name suit, appeared somewhat arrogant.

Seeing Feng Ruolan get out of the car, the beautiful assistant quickly approached: "President Feng, you’re back. The guest insisted on welcoming you personally. Let me introduce, this is Sile International’s representative, Mr. Xue Henry, Mr. Xue, this is our president, President Feng."

Feng Ruolan glanced at the other party, nodded in greeting.

Xue Henry chuckled, "Miss Feng, excuse my directness, you are half an hour late, such a sense of time is truly unbelievable!"

Feng Ruolan said, "Didn’t my assistant tell Mr. Xue that I had something and thus delayed? If I were late without any notice, it would be my fault, but I have my reasons, is there a problem?"

Xue Henry asked, "May I ask what could be more important than discussing a cooperation?"

Feng Ruolan replied, "It’s none of your business."

Xue Henry angrily said, "How could it not be? I wasted half an hour waiting for you!"

Feng Ruolan sighed, "I already said, if you weren’t willing to wait, you could leave, wasn’t it your choice to stay?"

Feng Ruolan truly had no problem; she valued eating with Lin Fan more, willing to give up this cooperation, so she gave Xue Henry a choice.

It was Xue Henry who chose to stay, which meant accepting Feng Ruolan’s terms, now criticizing here, it was Xue Henry’s problem.

Xue Henry shook his head, lamenting, "Huaxia people truly have no sense of time, after studying and working in the United States for many years, I have never encountered such a thing, the high quality of Americans is indeed good!"

Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but say, "Buddy, may I ask if you are a Huaxia person?"

Xue Henry glanced at Lin Fan, seeing him in cheap clothes, was a bit disdainful, but still pretended to have grace, "Yes."

Lin Fan chuckled, "You say Huaxia people have no sense of time, you are a Huaxia person, so you also have no sense of time?"

Feng Ruolan chuckled, Xue Henry had dug a hole for himself to jump into.

Xue Henry retorted, "I’m an exception, I’ve received western higher education, naturally different from you all!"

Lin Fan nodded, "I also think you are different from us, we are all genuine Huaxia people, while you claim to have received western education, clearly brainwashed, even changed your name to something neither Huaxia nor American, you’re what used to be called a Fake Foreign Devil, now a Banana Man, yellow on the outside, white on the inside."

"You!" Xue Henry was furious, face turning red, pointing at Lin Fan.

Feng Ruolan and the beautiful assistant couldn’t help but laugh at Lin Fan’s words.

A Chinese is a Chinese, why conform to the western standards? Xue Henry was just pandering to foreigners.

Xue Henry, embarrassed and angry, pointed at Lin Fan, "Miss Feng, how can your driver be so rude, we are all people of status, does he, a lowly person, deserve to speak?"

Originally amused by Lin Fan, Feng Ruolan’s expression turned cold at his words: "What did you say?"
