Lin Fan watched Zhang Liang leisurely.
He wished Zhang Liang would lose his temper and leave, saving him the trouble.
Was Zhou Yi's favor so easy to incur?
Tian Mengyao was still thinking of borrowing business attire from him!
Tang Yu dragged her chair forward.
After she sat down, her knees were almost touching Lin Fan.
"Brother Xiao Fan, just help me out, please~"
Tang Yu was both charming and sweet, her alluring eyes darting about.
Zhang Liang, sitting behind, was fuming with rage!
He glared fiercely at Lin Fan, as if he would pounce on him any second.
"I really can't help. How about I contact General Manager Su again and see what she says."
Lin Fan remained unyielding.
Zhang Liang shot up and shouted, "Xiao Yu, let's go!"
"There's no need to beg this bastard. I don't believe we have no other options without him!"
Tang Yu was both angry and anxious, but looking at Lin Fan's expressionless face, a sense of helplessness welled up within her.
She slowly stood up and looked at Lin Fan with a charming gaze.
Alas...
Lin Fan remained as still as an old monk in meditation, showing no reaction.
Zhang Liang was furious, kicked over the chair in front of him, and cursed, "Son of a bitch!"
After cursing, he kicked again, knocking over a bottle of white wine on the floor.
Tang Yu rushed forward to pull him, "What are you doing?"
He roughly shook off Tang Yu's hand, "You don't need to worry about it!"
Lin Fan took a deep breath and said coldly, "Zhang Liang, I made the boss of Jin Jing kneel and beg for mercy. How do you think you compare to him?"
"You..."
Zhang Liang turned pale with shock.
In his anger, he had forgotten this detail.
Now that he remembered, he immediately became flustered.
"We were classmates, and you treat me like this?"
Zhang Liang questioned loudly, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"I didn't do anything to you. I even treated you and your girlfriend to a meal, which cost over five thousand yuan."
Lin Fan glanced at the messy floor and added, "Let's part on good terms. Clean this up for me, and neither of us owes the other anything."
"You!"
Zhang Liang gritted his teeth, wanting to retort but not knowing how to begin.
Tang Yu kept persuading him from the side, "Don't cause trouble..."
"Hmph!"
Zhang Liang snorted coldly, kicked a box of white wine far away, and then turned and left in a huff.
"Hey~ you..."
Tang Yu stomped her foot and was about to chase after him.
However, at this moment, a casual remark from Lin Fan froze her in her tracks.
"If you don't have the ability, don't take on the task. That small matter would be resolved with just a word from me."
Hearing this, Tang Yu felt as if she had been immobilized, unable to take a single step.
"Xiao Yu, let's go."
Zhang Liang called back, "Don't listen to him trying to scare you. Even if he has a relationship with the boss of Xinghe Group, it won't affect the authorities."
Tang Yu took a deep breath and called out to Zhang Liang, "Wait for me outside. It's not good for us to leave like this."
As she spoke, Tang Yu walked back and began cleaning up the floor.
Zhang Liang watched from outside, unsure whether to leave or stay.
After a moment's thought, he got out of the medical clinic and sat in the car to wait.
Lin Fan sat with his legs crossed, motionlessly watching Tang Yu clean.
He would occasionally offer a suggestion on where the trash should be thrown.
It wasn't that he was heartless or malicious.
It was because when his elder brother never returned and he was young, and his sister-in-law was the only one supporting the family, who had ever offered a helping hand?
No one!
Now that he had money and was capable, they all came flocking.
It was truly infuriating!
Five minutes later, Tang Yu finished cleaning the floor and crouched in front of Lin Fan, saying sweetly, "Brother Xiao Fan, won't you help me?"
"Not for Zhang Liang's sake, but just for me."
Tang Yu extended her fair hands and placed them on Lin Fan's leg, then smiled, "If you don't help me, my future career might be ruined."
She gently squeezed Lin Fan's leg, "As long as you help me, you can ask me to do anything!"
"Cough cough."
Lin Fan coughed lightly, thinking to himself, "This young girl..."
She has wicked intentions!
"Brother Xiao Fan, please help me!"
Tang Yu mustered her courage, pouted, and began to act spoiled.
As she acted cute, she wriggled her body, her intentions clearly evident.
Lin Fan extended a hand to her and said with a smile, "Money."
"You're willing to help me?"
Tang Yu jumped up excitedly, "How much do you want?"
"I don't have much cash with me today. Name your price, and I'll gather it for you no matter what when I get back!"
In her excitement, Tang Yu had already pulled out her wallet and was fumbling through it.
Lin Fan shrugged, "Ten yuan."
"Ten yuan?"
Tang Yu was stunned, thinking she misheard.
She thought for a moment and said to herself, "Ten yuan? That's practically asking for nothing!"
She crouched down again, gracefully placed a ten-yuan banknote into Lin Fan's hand, and asked, "Brother Xiao Fan, why do you only want ten yuan? Does it have a special meaning?"
As she spoke, she recalled Lin Fan alluding to a story from Journey to the West.
Patriarch Subodhi had tapped Sun Wukong's head three times, signaling him to come for apprenticeship at midnight!
Then, Lin Fan asking for ten yuan, wouldn't that mean... ten o'clock in the evening!
With this thought, her beautiful eyes sparkled with a seductive glint.
However, Lin Fan's next words almost made her faint with anger.
"You broke the chair, so ten yuan isn't too much to ask, is it?"
"You!"
Tang Yu's expression changed drastically, her eyes looking as if she wanted to devour him.
"Hmph!"
Tang Yu was completely disheartened. Without another word, she got up and left.
"Tsk."
Lin Fan glanced at her retreating back, "Why make things difficult for yourself when things could have been smooth?"
Just then, Song Yue walked down the stairs alone and asked, "Did they leave?"
She looked at the wet floor and asked, "What happened?"
"What were you arguing about just now?"
Lin Fan spread his hands, "Fortunately, Zhang Liang didn't recognize you, or he might have pestered you..."
He recounted the entire story of Zhang Liang and Tang Yu asking for his help to Song Yue.
After listening, Song Yue angrily cursed, "They are too much! Especially Zhang Liang, he was always such a creep in school!"
"Besides, helping him is a favor, and not helping is his due. And now they've turned against you."
"What kind of person is Zhang Liang?"
"What classmate this, classmate that. If you weren't successful now and knew rich and powerful people, it would be a miracle if he even came to your door."
Lin Fan chuckled, "You can't say that. Aren't we old classmates too?"
Song Yue frowned, "Is that the same?"
"It's different, isn't it!"
Lin Fan moved behind her, massaging her shoulders while saying, "Sister Yueyue, thank you for staying by my side."
"I remember back in school, it was just us who liked to hang out together, and now we're really together."
"It's fate!"
Song Yue chuckled, "Don't talk nonsense. We were just deskmates in school."
"Back then, even if you killed me, I wouldn't have fancied you!"
