Boss Jin's experience was naturally far richer than his son Jin Cheng's, but when he saw Xu Youran, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
Despite having seen his fair share of women, Xu Youran's youthful and vibrant aura still stirred some thoughts within him.
His gaze swept over the table and Boss Jin then realized that the girls sitting with that young man were all rare beauties. Especially the girl sitting next to him. Not only was she extremely beautiful, but her demeanor was also ethereal and refined, her transcendent aura undimmed even in this noisy bar.
Indeed, the four girls at Zhang Fan's table—Xu Youran, Lin Ruyue, and Qin Luoshui—were all campus beauties. Even Su Xuan, Qi Wenxuan's girlfriend, was only slightly inferior to the three and could be considered a departmental beauty at YanJing University.
With the four of them sitting together, even Boss Jin, who was experienced and worldly, couldn't help but feel a moment of daze. At this moment, he seemed to understand why his foolish son had done such a foolish thing.
His gaze swept over them and finally landed on Zhang Fan. A smile involuntarily appeared on Boss Jin's usually stern face, "A bet is a bet. I can give you the million, but on one condition."
"Oh? What condition, let's hear it?" Zhang Fan sneered inwardly. He was curious to know what condition Jin Cheng's father would dare to propose.
"Just let these beautiful ladies at the table have a couple of drinks with me. After that, the million will be transferred immediately," Boss Jin said with a smile, staring at Zhang Fan. "Otherwise, you won't get a single cent of this million."
This statement surprised the onlookers in the bar. They hadn't expected Jin Cheng's father to be as vulgar as his son. The only difference was that Jin Cheng's father was even more brazen.
Upon hearing that Boss Jin wanted his girlfriend to accompany him for drinks, Geng Lesheng and Qi Wenxuan, instead of getting angry, merely shook their heads and smiled with a hint of pity towards Boss Jin, finding him regrettable.
They had witnessed Zhang Fan's strength and influence before. Even the highly regarded young master of the Qi family had his cultivation crippled by Zhang Fan for offending him...
And Jin Cheng's father, a mere small-time boss worth a few hundred million, dared to utter such suicidal words, naturally earning their sympathy.
As the saying goes, disaster comes from the mouth...
"Oh, can I interpret that as you planning to renege on the bet?" Zhang Fan asked calmly, his expression unchanged.
"I don't care how you interpret it. If you do as I say, everyone will be happy. If not, you can just drink for free..." Boss Jin sneered, not taking Zhang Fan and his group seriously at all.
Although he, Jin Guomin, wasn't a paramount figure in YanJing, he was still a person of some standing. He had met most of the top young masters from YanJing with significant backgrounds.
And this group of people, with their foreign accents, clearly weren't locals. Even if they had some background, this was YanJing, so what should he fear?
While the two million plus was not an astronomical sum for him, he felt as though his foolish son had been swindled. Therefore, he naturally intended to collect some interest.
"What was originally a million to resolve this matter has now become ten million. You still won't get away with it," Zhang Fan said with a cold smile after receiving Jin Guomin's affirmative reply.
"Oh? I'd like to see what abilities you have to make me unable to get away with it?" As Jin Guomin spoke, he subtly stepped back, revealing the very muscular man standing beside him.
...
"Are they going to fight?"
"That kid is too clueless about the situation. He could have gotten a million for two drinks but insisted on refusing. Now, not only will he not get the money, but he might have trouble walking out of this bar intact."
"You're right. That burly man is full of killing intent, and his arms are thicker than my thighs. If a fight breaks out, he could probably send that kid flying with one punch..." Some people, intimidated by the burly man's aura, thought Zhang Fan was likely to suffer.
"Heh heh, I don't think so. Look at the people at that kid's table; their expressions haven't changed one bit from start to finish. That means they're not afraid at all."
"Not afraid? I think they're just too scared to move." Someone sneered.
The onlookers around the bar were all speculating, but most of them felt that Zhang Fan's group was going to have a bad night.
"If you don't come out soon, you'll be responsible for all the losses this bar incurs today!" Zhang Fan said casually, leaning back on the bar sofa.
"Who is he talking to?"
Hearing this, everyone was a bit bewildered. Jin Guomin also let out a dismissive smile and said, "Kid, don't you know the owner of this bar is my friend? You think he'll back you up?"
Jin Cheng, hearing this, also sneered at Zhang Fan. He knew that this bar had powerful backing, even considered one of the top establishments in YanJing. How could they possibly back up these outsiders like Zhang Fan?
This was also why he dared not cause trouble and renege on his bet in this bar.
And just as Jin Guomin arrived at the bar, Manager Wang delivered the information he had just collected about Zhang Fan to his boss.
"This kid is the boyfriend of Miss Qin Luoshui of the Qin family?"
"And tonight, he also severely beat up Young Master Qi Jun of the Qi family at Jiulong Shifu?"
...
Looking at the pieces of information related to Zhang Fan, Li Yuan's hands couldn't help but tremble. Both Qin Luoshui and Zhang Fan were not people he could afford to offend. Even his backer would be unwilling to provoke such a formidable individual.
He pondered, thinking he should report this information, but his thoughts were interrupted by Manager Wang.
"Boss, it seems Jin Guomin is about to make a move!" Manager Wang reminded him.
He had seen Zhang Fan's information, and even if he were ignorant, he knew that the group of young men downstairs was absolutely not to be trifled with.
After all, who in YanJing would he, who dared to beat up the young master of the Qi family, not dare to provoke?
Except for a very few special individuals, the direct heirs of the four major families in YanJing represented the highest echelon of the younger generation.
"What?"
Upon hearing Manager Wang's words, Li Yuan quickly looked down. Seeing that Jin Guomin was indeed about to have his bodyguard make a move, he was so terrified that his face turned pale.
"Hurry up and stop that idiot! If he dares to make a move in my bar, I'll make sure he never walks out of it!" Li Yuan hastily ordered.
If Zhang Fan and Qin Luoshui were to have an accident in his bar, even his backer probably wouldn't be able to protect him.
Hearing this, Manager Wang didn't hesitate. Dragging his flesh-laden body, he quickly ran downstairs.
