My Perfect Female CEO-Chapter 844: Who Do You Think You Are?

Guo Xiong started with a polite tone, effortlessly showering President Chu with words of praise.

However, the faint hostility in Guo Xiong’s eyes was glaringly obvious. Mengyao could see it, and Guo Xiong knew that President Chu could see it too. Both were perceptive individuals; beneath Guo Xiong’s seemingly gentle conversation lay malicious intent.

After the pleasantries, Guo Xiong said with a smile, "President Chu, you live a secluded life, indifferent to the affairs outside. Isn’t that a bit unbecoming? No matter how you look at it, President Chu is part of the new power and hasn’t been on the billionaire list for long. Considering the major players across the business world, which one of them isn’t a senior figure? In front of President Chu, we don’t consider ourselves presumptuous at all to call ourselves your elder."

Guo Xiong spoke jovially, his face showing no hostility, yet his tone was thick with self-importance.

When it comes to age, he indeed is an elder, but what good does being an elder do? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"The elders in my family are the true elders. If we talk about age, I have more elders than I can count, but who’s truly qualified and brave enough to call themselves my elder?" Mengyao spoke casually, her disdain clearly showing on her face. She then politely added, "Judging by the time spent in the business world, you’re indeed an elder. That point barely holds water."

Guo Xiong, the old fox, naturally saw President Chu’s disdain. While internally sneering at President Chu’s lack of decorum, he thickened his skin and claimed an elder’s status, saying, "Since we’re elders, let me have my say. You’ve been at this hotel for some time, President Chu. Why haven’t you visited us elders? Is it because you’re too arrogant? Personally speaking, your position on the billionaire list is higher than mine. However, when it comes to other major players, aren’t they genuinely ranked higher than you? You visit no one at all—what kind of junior are you being?"

Facing Guo Xiong’s questioning and posturing, Mengyao responded indifferently, "When I call you an elder, it’s just being polite. Are you really trying to act all superior because of your age? You might want to measure your capabilities a bit."Mengyao didn’t deliver a particularly sharp retort; instead, she gave Guo Xiong some face. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have seen such a good attitude.

Given the current dire situation of the Chu Group, Mengyao did not want to make enemies for no reason. However, Guo Xiong brought himself to them, acting far too presumptuous, leaving Mengyao with little concern and no desire for politeness.

Guo Xiong’s face showed waves of anger as he pressed forward step by step, "President Chu, aren’t you being too arrogant? Are you looking down on me, Guo Xiong?"

"Who do you think you are? Why should I give you any regard?" Mengyao said coldly, "If you acted like a decent person, we might treat you as a guest of honor and follow the proper etiquette. But with your sarcasm and malicious intent, do you think we have the patience to mess with you?"

"Well, you brat, I’ve been mingling in the business world before you even existed. You’re unbelievably ignorant." Guo Xiong was even angrier, seeing President Chu break ties so blatantly, disregarding any decorum, not following the usual rules. His sudden anger, no matter how displeased, had to be swallowed. Skipping all formalities was utterly infuriating.

Just as Mengyao was about to speak, Ye Fan stepped forward indifferently, saying, "As Mengyao just said, who do you think you are, daring to boast in front of us?"

"You..." Guo Xiong glared at Mengyao, then his anger faded as he looked at Ye Fan, like a furious beast suddenly turned into a meek lamb, and he bowed, saying, "Mr. Ye, the business world has its rules. With Mr. Ye’s reputation, you wouldn’t stir up trouble and wouldn’t bully others, right? Honestly, I have great respect for Mr. Ye. However, when it comes to business dealings with the Chu Group, it’s better if Mr. Ye doesn’t interfere. Business isn’t as straightforward as a fistfight, don’t you think?"

While Guo Xiong was at odds with Mengyao, he constantly watched Ye Fan’s reaction. Naturally, given his fear of Ye Fan, he acted according to Ye Fan’s demeanor. But Ye Fan’s lack of emotion left him feeling entirely inadequate, caught off guard, unable to vent his anger—to say nothing of his sense of frustration.

He understood deeply that Ye Fan is reckless. If a fist comes down, it comes down. Regardless of whether the Chu Group plans to be complete enemies with the Guo Family, he wouldn’t dare take the risk, nor want to end up like Guan Feitian.

If he held the belief that Ye Fan wouldn’t dare hit him, he’d be gravely mistaken.

"Who’s this person, daring to act so brazenly?"

"He’s the man who crippled Guan Feitian’s arm."

"He’s said to be President Chu’s fiancé from the rumors."

"Why is Elder Guo so fearful? No, using ’fearful’ doesn’t suffice to describe Elder Guo’s reaction. I’ve never seen Elder Guo act so weak in front of anyone, yet in front of this man, it’s like a mouse seeing a cat."

Guo Xiong’s associates pondered complicated thoughts in their hearts, their shocked gazes fixed on Ye Fan. Among them were those who knew Ye Fan and others who didn’t, but no matter the case, their inner shock remained unaffected. While Guo Xiong’s and President Chu’s verbal exchanges appeared standard, everyone understood, given the similar status of both parties. But Ye Fan’s sudden interjection was too astonishing.

However, they were all smart people, seeing Guo Xiong’s terror. They wouldn’t foolishly step forward and criticize Ye Fan to defend Guo Xiong’s dignity, knowing it would only harm Guo Xiong. This they understood better than anyone, thus collective silence prevailed, and they dared not utter a word.

"I only know that force is the most effective and straightforward way to resolve conflicts, and this holds true anywhere." Ye Fan spoke indifferently.

"Whatever Mr. Ye says, goes." Guo Xiong forced a smile, "However, the Chu Group, being new here, offended the apprentice of the Gambling God, disregarded the Guo Family’s dignity, and carelessly hit people. Isn’t that a bit excessive?"

"What’s excessive? Some people itch to get their muscles stretched; we’re quite happy to oblige, and this includes the Guo Family." Ye Fan replied calmly, but to Guo Xiong, it sounded thick with threat.

Guo Xiong suppressed his anger and dissatisfaction, speaking in a deep voice, "Mr. Ye, I show you respect, but it doesn’t mean you can freely insult me."

"Insult you? Haha, you’re flattering yourself. You sure know how to shower yourself with praises. If you weren’t looking for trouble, I wouldn’t even consider acknowledging you, let alone insulting you. You degrade yourself seeking punishment; I can certainly fulfill you." Ye Fan spoke nonchalantly.

"Mr. Ye, you’re unbelievable. You know all the major players have begun coordinating privately, planning to take advantage of your wager with the Little Gambling God. They’ve aimed to seize this opportunity to give you a hard time. You’re about to face a major crisis, yet you remain so unaware, do you even know what reckless means?" Guo Xiong’s body trembled with anger, a result of extreme endurance, as he dared not show too much anger in front of Ye Fan, grudgingly suppressing it.

"I think you’re the one who’s uninformed. If you don’t leave now, I might as well teach you what reckless truly means." Ye Fan’s gaze turned icy.

"Hmph, let’s see." Guo Xiong turned and left, hurriedly fleeing, fearing Ye Fan’s cruelty. But after turning away, his face turned extremely gloomy, almost emitting killing intent. Furious thoughts echoed in his mind, "Utter humiliation, utter humiliation, I’ve never been subjected to such humiliation in my life. If I don’t avenge this, I’m no man."

He left trembling, nearly angered to death.

The people around him remained silent, following Guo Xiong like lost dogs.

Guo Xiong volunteered this time because all the major players had already communicated, planning to collectively target the Chu Group. So he raced to the Chu Group, intending to show off and apply pressure.

However, his goal was unmet, and instead, he ended up angering himself to the brink of internal injury.
