“Shanshan, you’re not going to confess to Xiao Fan, are you?”
Someone in the corner suddenly stood up and asked.
“No one thinks you’re mute if you don’t talk, shut up!”
Shi Tian said, pushing the person down.
All eyes turned to Gao Lu.
“I’m going to the restroom.”
Gao Lu stood up with a smile and walked out gracefully.
“Holy crap! What’s going on?”
The crowd whispered, completely bewildered.
Gao Lu was openly showing affection to Lin Fan, and Lin Shanshan suddenly appeared. Yet, Gao Lu didn’t seem angry at all. It was too strange.
“Xiao Fan.”
Lin Shanshan tugged at her clothes with both hands and asked shyly, “Do you still like me?”
Lin Fan sat in his chair, a smile on his face, but he didn’t look up.
“Shanshan.”
Chen Feng stood up with a grim expression.
Not only him, but several other of Lin Shanshan’s suitors also looked unhappy.
However, after seeing Lin Fan’s attitude, they all chose to remain silent.
Lin Fan was no longer the same as before; he was someone they couldn’t afford to offend.
There was no need to offend this god for a woman they couldn’t have.
“Chen Feng, I’m sorry, thank you for your kindness over the years, but we are really not suitable for each other.”
Lin Shanshan glanced at Chen Feng and rejected him again.
Chen Feng smiled awkwardly. “If Lin Fan were still farming in the village, if he didn’t have a Ferrari and so many rich connections, would you still ask him this question?”
This was also the question in everyone’s mind. Even though they knew the answer, they still wanted to hear Lin Shanshan say it herself.
“You can’t go in!”
Suddenly, a commotion erupted from outside.
The door of the private room was kicked open, and five or six burly men barged in.
Two security guards followed, unable to stop them.
“Mr. Chen, I’m sorry, they insisted on coming in…”
Chen Feng waved his hand, and his expression changed slightly upon seeing the burly men.
“Chen Feng, your family owes me money, and it’s time to pay it back, isn’t it?”
A fashionably dressed young master pushed through the crowd and stepped forward.
His eyes towards Chen Feng were filled with disdain and contempt.
“Qian Peng, give me a few more days. Several bosses are interested in acquiring the hotel now, and I’ll have money for you soon.”
Chen Feng clenched his fists, speaking in a low, submissive tone.
Qian Peng sneered. “Twenty million. You’ve owed us for three months and you still want time? I’m not kidding, with this dilapidated hotel of yours, there are hardly any customers. What kind of fool would buy it?”
The classmates looked at Chen Feng in shock, suddenly remembering what he had said earlier.
“Don’t be fooled by my outward appearance, I’m actually drowning in debt…”
Chen Feng said with difficulty, “I really don’t have money now. Give me some face, alright? Don’t do this in front of my classmates. Give me three more days, and I’ll definitely pay you back!”
“Get lost!”
Qian Peng kicked over a chair, startling many people.
Shi Tian immediately got angry, picked up the ashtray from the table, and hurled it. “Damn it! Who dares to cause trouble!”
The five bodyguards quickly surrounded Qian Peng to protect him.
One of them extended a hand, snatched Shi Tian’s ashtray, and kicked him hard.
They were all professional martial artists; Shi Tian, a brute, was no match for them.
Just as he was about to be kicked down.
Suddenly, everyone saw a blur. Lin Fan had appeared in front of Shi Tian at some point.
Bang bang bang!
After a dazzling display of skill, the five bodyguards were all lying on the ground.
“Stone, are you okay?”
Shi Tian shook his head. “I’m fine.”
“Who are you?”
Qian Peng frowned, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Lin Fan’s skills were extraordinary; how could he dare to be arrogant any longer?
“Today is our class reunion. If you want to collect debts, come back another day,” Lin Fan said coldly.
Qian Peng was somewhat unwilling. “Friend, I’m working for General Manager Zhang of Shoudou Company. Chen Feng’s hotel is poorly managed. Three months ago, he borrowed fifteen million from our platform. With interest compounding, it’s now twenty million.”
“It’s already ten days overdue. If I don’t get the money back, I can’t explain it to General Manager Zhang.”
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. “General Manager Zhang? Zhang Yunfei?”
“You know my boss?” Qian Peng was surprised.
Lin Fan was even more surprised. He had started his live stream selling watermelons on Shoudou.
He had always thought Zhang Yunfei only ran a live streaming platform and didn’t expect him to be involved in loan sharking.
In three months, five million in interest alone. It was simply robbery!
“Xiao Fan, this has nothing to do with you. I’m sorry for ruining everyone’s fun today.”
Chen Feng smiled bitterly and looked at Qian Peng. “I’ll go with you. Don’t trouble my classmates.”
Lin Fan smiled, surprised that Chen Feng had some backbone.
Knowing the consequences of going with these people, he still stepped forward.
“Wait.”
Lin Fan took out his phone and dialed Zhang Yunfei’s number.
“Divine Doctor Lin, what can I do for you? Do you have any new pills?”
“Chen Feng is my classmate. Can you give him some grace period for the money he owes you?”
Lin Fan got straight to the point.
Everyone watched him in shock, and even Qian Peng was stunned.
“No problem, no problem. Since he’s Divine Doctor Lin’s classmate, he can repay the money after he sells his hotel. As for the interest, Divine Doctor Lin, I need to make money too…”
“Of course, you can calculate it as you see fit.”
Lin Fan hung up.
Just as Qian Peng was about to speak, his phone rang.
“Don’t collect Chen Feng’s money for now. Starting today, the overdue interest is waived. The twenty million can wait until he sells his hotel.”
The call ended.
Qian Peng scratched his head and looked at Lin Fan, then bowed with cupped hands. “My apologies.”
He relayed Zhang Yunfei’s words to Chen Feng verbatim, then turned and left with his subordinates.
“Xiao Fan, thank you.”
Chen Feng finally realized how terrifying Lin Fan’s connections were.
The other classmates were also awestruck, as if Lin Fan had become someone they could no longer reach.
After such an incident, the class reunion couldn’t continue. Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries and dispersed.
Lin Fan patted Chen Feng on the shoulder, said nothing, and left.
“Xiao Fan!”
As soon as he stepped outside, Lin Shanshan caught up to him.
“Didn’t you just ask me if I would still like you if you had no money or power? The answer is, no!”
“So, what do you want to say?”
“I want to be a star, I want to make a name for myself, and I hope you can help me!”
Lin Shanshan’s tone was almost pleading.
“Then what benefits will I get?” Lin Fan asked.
“Me!”
Lin Shanshan answered without hesitation.
Lin Fan smiled slightly. “Book a theme room for me at the Haoting Grand Hotel tonight. Remember, a theme room.”
