Chapter 738: Chapter 738

Dancheng Huaxia Group!

Upon hearing this name, the crowd at the scene instantly boiled over.

The Dancheng Huaxia Group was an incredibly impressive entity. It was now among the most prestigious enterprises in Huaxia Country, having not only gone public domestically but also in The Stars and Stripes Country. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⁂𝘯𝘦𝘵

The Huaxia Group had started with the Pill, and now the ultimate version of the Pill had reached a status where it was priceless. The official price released was eight hundred thousand per piece, and that was in US dollars. On the black market, the ultimate version of the Pill had reached the value of one million five hundred thousand US dollars.

Despite the high price tag, the Pill truly worked, so many wealthy individuals and governmental dignitaries worked hard to maintain a good relationship with the Huaxia Group.

At this moment, everyone in the lobby turned their gazes towards Ding Fan, unable to imagine what they were seeing.

This ordinary-looking, young man was actually the president of Huaxia Group...

At this time, Zhang Liang and Du Lei standing beside him had their mouths agape in surprise, shocked that the "poor wretch" they spoke of had such a fierce background, the president of Huaxia Group!

In the international arena, the Huaxia Group was also surging in prominence, not an entity the small Zhang Family of Zhangzhou could compare with.

Meanwhile, Wen Si's eyebrows wrinkled slightly as she glanced at Zhang Wanyue beside her, genuinely puzzled about how this young girl knew such a dazzlingly brilliant deity.

"So it's the president of Huaxia Group who has graced us with his presence..." Zhang Guanglin said, both startled and overjoyed.

Now, the Huaxia Group was an extremely prestigious large enterprise. Having the company's president personally attending the birthday celebration meant today, they were flaunting significant face.

From some perspectives, Ding Fan's weight was even heavier than the Qin family.

"Wanyue, with such an important friend visiting, why didn't you notify us in advance? Look, we have neglected the distinguished guest!" Zhang Guanglin complained to Zhang Wanyue by his side.

At this moment, Zhang Wanyue had not even snapped back to reality; she was also bewildered.

With Huaxia Group's current fame, especially after recently defeating Korean Medicine from Korea... Zhang Wanyue truly hadn't anticipated that Ding Fan, who took a train ride to Zhangzhou with her, would turn out to be the president of such a major company.

By now, Zhang Wanyue didn't know what to say.

Ding Fan beside her smiled and said, "Wanyue and I are good friends. We are just here to offer blessings on the elder's birthday..."

As he spoke, Ding Fan pulled out a Pill from his chest. "Here is a modified ultimate version of the Pill. Please consider it a small token of respect. I hope Old Master Zhang won't find it too simple."

The ultimate version of the Pill!

All eyes at the scene shifted in this direction.

The ultimate version of the Pill was famously elusive, and very few had ever seen what it looked like. Its price had skyrocketed from tens of thousands to eight hundred thousand a piece.

Everyone indeed wanted to see what was so special about this Pill that made it so enchanting.

Zhang Guanglin immediately took the ultimate version of the Pill. "This... this gift is too precious, much too precious..."

Although in Zhang Guanglin's eyes, a million US dollars wasn't much, the Pill was genuinely priceless. Huaxia Group only sold it a few times a year, each time only around a hundred pieces or so.

During both sales of the Pill by the Huaxia Group, Zhang Guanglin had sent people to buy it, but regrettably, he wasn't able to secure even one both times.

So having the president of Huaxia Group personally deliver it today, and to hear that it was an improved ultimate version of the Pill...

The ultimate version of the Pill was undoubtedly an excessively generous gift, but just the fact that the president of Huaxia Group would condescend to present this variant of the Pill was an extraordinarily heavy tribute...

"No need for such formalities... As a friend of Zhang Wanyue, this is just a little filial respect to an elder," Ding Fan said from the side.

Zhang Guanglin nodded. "Then I must thank President Ding for his generosity!"

Qin Manshu watched Ding Fan, naturally understanding why he had orchestrated such a gesture; it was to give Zhang Wanyue face.

Since entering the lobby, the Zhang family had continuously belittled Zhang Wanyue. Ding Fan obviously couldn't stand it and wanted Old Master Zhang to know that all his actions were in consideration of Zhang Wanyue's face.

"Here, I also have a personal gift to offer," Qin Manshu stood up and said.

Ding Fan had mentioned before that 'they both had additional blessings.' Having taken his turn earlier, it was now Qin Manshu's turn.

As Qin Manshu spoke, the crowd turned their attention in her direction.

"As a friend of Zhang Wanyue, I, in my capacity as the general manager of Qin's Group, extend wishes for Old Master Zhang Guanglin to live as long as the South Mountain!" Qin Manshu bowed again in respect!

The people inside the lobby looked at each other.

Everyone secretly envied the tremendous face Zhang Guanglin was gaining today, with Huaxia Group having just made a splendid show, and now the general manager of Qin's Group was starting!

Zhang Liang's face turned somewhat unsightly at this point.

As Zhang Guanglin's grandson, Zhang Liang saw Zhang Wanyue as his primary rival for the family's inheritance. He could tell that Ding Fan and Qin Manshu were clearly helping Zhang Wanyue gain prestige.

Huaxia Group and Qin's Group, these two heavyweights. Just one was already an esteemed presence, let alone having both companies' heads show up to offer birthday wishes—both of whom were doing so for the sake of Zhang Wanyue...

Zhang Liang looked at Zhang Wanyue beside him. After today, Zhang Wanyue's status in the Zhang Family was likely to skyrocket...

"I have a pair of gold balls to present to Old Zhang. Just a little token of appreciation," Qin Manshu said, and without further ado, she pulled out a pair of gold balls from her handbag.

These gold balls had been prepared by Qin Manshu prior to her arrival, specifically intended as a gift for Zhang Guanglin; now, she took the opportunity to give them to him.

"Thank you, thank you..." Zhang Guanglin gratefully accepted Qin Manshu's birthday gift, profusely expressing his thanks.

"Wanyue, won't you thank these two friends of yours?" Zhang Guanglin said on the side.

Zhang Wanyue was momentarily taken aback before she hurriedly thanked Ding Fan and Qin Manshu. "Brother Fan, Sister Manshu, thank you..."

"We're friends, and it's only right to bring a blessing to an elder; there's nothing to thank us for," Ding Fan said indifferently.

Zhang Wanyue nodded her head.

"Now that we have delivered our blessings, we shall not impose any further," Ding Fan told Zhang Guanglin, who was standing nearby.

Zhang Guanglin was not unaware of their standing and knew that people like Ding Fan and Qin Manshu were not the kind he could retain. He hastily said, "Wanyue, then later on, please keep our esteemed guests company..."

Before Zhang Guanglin could finish speaking, Ding Fan shook his head. "I doubt Wanyue will have time tonight. She's in charge of the wine service; if Wanyue leaves, who will manage the wine?"

The task of managing the wine should naturally be done by servants, yet Zhang Wanyue, a member of the Zhang Family, was doing such things herself. Ding Fan's mention of this was an attempt to seek justice for Zhang Wanyue...

As expected, after Ding Fan finished speaking, Zhang Liang and Wen Si's faces by his side grew visibly worse.

It was they who had put Zhang Wanyue in charge of the wine service, simply to deflate her pride and make her realize who truly ruled the house.

Zhang Guanglin was unaware of this situation. Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, Zhang Guanglin's face grew extremely dark.

"What? Has my Zhang family run out of people to have my granddaughter do such a thing? Who arranged this?" Zhang Guanglin's voice was deep and solemn.

"It was... it was me," Wen Si stepped forward and said, "But Zhang Liang had a hand in it too, it was all his idea."

Zhang Liang by her side glared fiercely at Wen Si. He hadn't expected Wen Si to push him to the forefront.

"Wen Si, you..." Zhang Liang was annoyed.

"What exactly is going on?!" Zhang Guanglin bellowed.

Zhang Liang stepped forward to explain. "Grandpa, it was , Aunt Wen said that this birthday banquet was quite large in scale and she was worried that Wanyue would not be able to help much, so I thought it would be good for Wanyue to take care of the wine..."

"You two idiots, don't think I don't know. You've been involved in dirty tricks all this time, and I've let it slide, but now you've gone too far involving my granddaughter. Wait till we get back home, and we'll sort this out properly!" Zhang Guanglin said sternly.

"Grandpa..." Zhang Liang suddenly felt a chill over his scalp; in this house, he was afraid of no one but Old Zhang.

"Dad, we know we were wrong!" Wen Si also hurriedly spoke up.

"Get out!" Zhang Guanglin said coldly.

Wen Si and Zhang Liang, who had attempted to say something, were momentarily lost for words.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" At this point, Zhang Guanglin picked up the microphone.

The crowd, seeing Zhang Guanglin about to speak, turned their attention to him.

"Wanyue is the daughter of my eldest son, Zhang Man. Zhang Man was carefree, honest and sincere. As a young man, he fancied Wanyue's mother, but I was foolish then and obstructed them. This led to my son and daughter-in-law eloping for love. Now, I realize I was wrong, but this realization has come too late... to the extent that I never got to see my son for one last time!"

Zhang Guanglin sighed deeply as he said this. "Today, my granddaughter is back, and I want to give her all the familial love I owed my son. I am here to tell everyone that from now on, anyone who dares to bully my granddaughter Wanyue, regardless of who they are, I will make sure they pay a steep price!"

Zhang Wanyue, who was standing to the side, was moved to tears.

What touched Zhang Wanyue wasn't so much Zhang Guanglin's promise to protect her or give her family love.

Zhang Wanyue was moved because her grandfather, Zhang Guanglin, had finally admitted his mistake regarding her parents.

Zhang Wanyue vividly remembered her father once expressing, many times over, his hope to one day be forgiven by Zhang Guanglin, so he could return to his father's side.

If her father knew from beyond the grave, he would surely be very happy. Grandpa had finally forgiven him...

The faces of Zhang Liang, Wen Si, and Du Lei nearby turned ashen pale.

Zhang Guanglin's speech was tantamount to setting the direction for the future. With the division of the inheritance that will follow Zhang Guanglin's passing, it would likely favor Wanyue the most.

The three had been looking for a chance to squeeze Wanyue out of the family!

But now, not only had they failed to push her away, on the contrary, her position in the Zhang family was becoming more and more stable!

At that moment, Du Lei directly fainted and fell to the ground.

People all around looked over as Du Lei was foaming at the mouth, kicking his legs back and forth in spasms.

Ding Fan could tell with just a look – it seemed the narcotics Du Lei had used were taking effect...
