Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 677: President Chen Wants to Send Away Lin Fan
In President Chen’s original plan, discussing investment with Liu Mengjie tonight was secondary. Compared to investment, he was obviously more interested in Liu Mengjie herself. He would keep persuading Liu Mengjie to drink until she collapsed, then he could have his way with her.
Who knew that Lin Fan would appear unexpectedly. President Chen cursed inwardly, wishing he could immediately chase Lin Fan away. But since Lin Fan was Liu Mengjie’s assistant, he couldn’t directly ask him to leave, as that would mean turning against Liu Mengjie. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
He still wanted to win over Liu Mengjie, so of course, he couldn’t sour the relationship.
For now, he could only find a way to get rid of the annoying assistant.
President Chen sneered inwardly. He couldn’t believe that he, the mighty President Chen, the Big Boss, couldn’t handle a little assistant.
Lin Fan enthusiastically refilled the glasses, saying he wanted to toast to President Chen.
For the sake of Liu Mengjie, President Chen naturally couldn’t refuse Lin Fan. He picked up his glass and downed a drink with Lin Fan.
After a glass of wine, President Chen’s face turned a bit red.
This wine was not low in alcohol as President Chen claimed. In fact, it had a strong after-effect, making it easy to get drunk. President Chen specifically chose it to quickly intoxicate Liu Mengjie. Even President Chen himself didn’t dare to drink too much; how could he conduct serious business if he got drunk?
"President Chen, would you like more? This wine is really good, hard to resist having a few more glasses. How about I toast you again?" Lin Fan said enthusiastically.
President Chen quickly replied, "That’s enough. Young man, you should take it slow when drinking, don’t rush."
Only then did Lin Fan stop, laughing, "President Chen is right. Sister Mengjie, President Chen said he won’t drink anymore, so it looks like you can start talking about the investment. You two continue."
Lin Fan sneered internally. Damn this drinking culture. President Chen was trying to use this trick on Liu Mengjie, so Lin Fan responded in kind. It’s just drinking; make him drink until he doesn’t want to anymore.
Lin Fan had come from humble beginnings and had worked for a company before; he’s very familiar with this drinking culture. Moreover, Lin Fan could hold his liquor well. With the Strengthening Blood Serum Capsules, he could drink endlessly without getting drunk. He was not afraid of drinking with President Chen, just worried President Chen wouldn’t dare to drink!
Liu Mengjie gratefully glanced at Lin Fan. If it weren’t for him, she would have been forced to drink, and it would have been troublesome if she got drunk. As a woman without support, who would take care of her if she got drunk?
Liu Mengjie then turned to President Chen, smiling, "Well, President Chen, why don’t we discuss the investment? I came with great sincerity this time, hoping to get your investment. Here’s my project proposal, please take a look."
Liu Mengjie took a folder out of her briefcase and handed it to President Chen.
President Chen accepted the folder but didn’t open it. He tossed it casually onto the table, saying, "No need to look at it. Let me put it this way: I have a lot of money. I can throw it at any project. Whether it loses money or makes money, I’m not too concerned. What I really care about is people."
Those words were quite pretentious.
Liu Mengjie didn’t know what to say for a moment, so she smiled, "President Chen, I know you’re wealthy and don’t care about money, but I want to say that investing in our school would certainly not be a mistake. In terms of returns, it won’t let you suffer losses..."
President Chen interrupted Liu Mengjie, "Oh, let’s not get into that. As I said, I don’t care about the project; I care more about people."
Liu Mengjie could only ask, "President Chen, what do you mean?"
President Chen said, "I hope that after I invest this money in your school, you can give me the respect I deserve. I like people with high cooperation levels. Otherwise, if they are uncooperative and keep opposing me after I invest, I wouldn’t invest in such people. Miss Liu, do you see any problem with this?"
Liu Mengjie said somewhat confusedly, "I don’t know what you mean by cooperation levels, President Chen. If it’s about the school’s management, I definitely respect the board’s opinions. Based on past experiences, I’ve usually followed the board members’ wishes. However, past boards have given me considerable freedom and didn’t meddle too much in the school’s specific operations. This is negotiable."
President Chen said, "All right, let me conduct a test. This Little Lin is Miss Liu’s assistant, right? Can I ask him to do something?"
Liu Mengjie said, "Well, is there anything he can help you with, President Chen?"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "President Chen, I am Sister Mengjie’s assistant, and I listen to her. If you’re going to be Sister Mengjie’s boss, then of course I’ll listen to my boss’s boss."
President Chen said, "All right, I’ll give you a task now. Go get us some snacks. I want roast duck from De Xinglong, specifically from the Nanshan District branch. I like their sauce. Take a taxi and buy it now. Miss Liu, this roast duck is very delicious, and I’m treating you to some. Like I said, doing business is secondary; making friends is the priority. Once the friendship is there, business naturally follows, wouldn’t you say?"
Liu Mengjie couldn’t say no, so she just nodded, "Mm-hmm."
President Chen turned to Lin Fan, smiling, "Young man, you can start now. De Xinglong closes at nine. You have ten minutes to get there, and it’s better to take a taxi for speed. You should be back in about an hour."
An hour should be enough.
In one hour, with Lin Fan gone, it would be enough for him to handle Liu Mengjie. By the time Lin Fan was back, he and Liu Mengjie would already be at the hotel.
Getting rid of a little assistant shouldn’t be a problem. President Chen thought smugly.
Lin Fan dragged out an "oh" sound. How could he not understand? This pretentious President Chen talked so much, just to get him out of the way. He found Lin Fan’s presence obstructive.
It seems this President Chen indeed has no good intentions.
"Okay, no problem, President Chen. I’m heading out now." Lin Fan stood up.
President Chen chuckled to himself, "Go on, when you return, I’ll reimburse your taxi fare."
With that, Lin Fan walked out.
The room was left with only Liu Mengjie and President Chen.
Finally, they got Lin Fan out of the way, President Chen thought proudly. Now with only Liu Mengjie, she’s easier to deal with.
"Miss Liu, let’s continue. Here, let’s have a drink first." President Chen said, filling the wine again with a smile.
Liu Mengjie smiled bitterly inside. Lin Fan had just left, and now President Chen was already coaxing her to drink again. She had no choice but to drink if she wanted to continue discussing business.
"President Chen, I’ll toast to you." Liu Mengjie had no choice but to take the glass, forcing a smile.
President Chen watched Liu Mengjie, sneering inwardly, "Drink up, drink up. Soon you’ll be down. By the time your assistant is back, you’ll already be mine."
Seeing Liu Mengjie about to drink up.
"Sister Mengjie, why are you drinking?"
Suddenly, Lin Fan walked back in, grabbing Liu Mengjie’s drink and downing it in one go.
What?
How did Lin Fan come back so quickly?
President Chen was dumbfounded.
