Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 679: I Owe President Jiang a Favor
The owner of De Xinglong, known as the King of Roast Duck, President Jiang, happened to be in the store just as Lin Fan placed a takeaway order. He happened to be free, happened to feel an itch to cook, and happened to want to stretch his muscles, so he personally cooked and delivered the meal. What a coincidence!
Regardless, the appearance of President Jiang foiled President Chen’s plan to find faults.
President Chen was frustrated. It was unclear whether Liu Mengjie, this assistant, did it on purpose or inadvertently, but she had ruined his plan. He originally intended to get Liu Mengjie drunk, but because of Lin Fan, he couldn’t use alcohol.
With this kid staying here, his chances of having a shot with Liu Mengjie tonight were essentially zero. President Chen was unwilling to give up, damn it, he had to think of a way to get rid of this kid!
"Sister Mengjie, I just remembered my car has some issues and needs a repair. How about this? You and President Chen discuss work here, and I’ll go get the car fixed first," Lin Fan suddenly said.
Liu Mengjie responded with an "Oh," and said, "How long will you be gone?"
Lin Fan replied, "Not long, about an hour or so. When Sister Mengjie wants to leave, just call me, and I’ll come to pick you up."
Liu Mengjie said, "Okay, you go ahead."
Lin Fan came tonight to accompany her, keeping the drinks at bay, which satisfied her a lot. Now that they agreed not to drink, she wasn’t worried.
"President Chen, I’m off," Lin Fan said with a smile.
"Alright, go on," President Chen replied, already overjoyed. He was worried about not having an excuse to send this annoying young man off, and here Lin Fan was, leaving on his own, which truly felt like a divine intervention and a blessed surprise!
And so, Lin Fan walked outside.
Outside the KTV, a Bentley was parked nearby, with a middle-aged man standing quietly beside it, seemingly waiting for something. It was none other than Jiang, the owner of De Xinglong.
"President Jiang."
Suddenly, Lin Fan appeared, coming in front of President Jiang.
President Jiang immediately moved closer, respectfully saying, "Mr. Lin, I didn’t expect to see you tonight, what an honor!"
Lin Fan smiled and said, "I should thank you, President Jiang, for personally delivering the roast duck. It couldn’t be helped, I had to stay and watch over my friend, I couldn’t leave."
That President Chen wanted to send him away to order roast duck from De Xinglong, clearly intending to get rid of him, but of course, Lin Fan couldn’t let President Chen succeed, so he called President Jiang instead.
Lin Fan had met many of Yun City’s bigwigs at a previous business association, including the famous roast duck king, President Jiang. Lin Fan, the richest man in Yun City, and the mysterious wealthy Mr. Lin, who wouldn’t want to make his acquaintance? President Jiang personally came to talk with Lin Fan back then. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
President Jiang sincerely admired Lin Fan from the bottom of his heart.
Tonight he received an unexpected call from Lin Fan, and immediately came to deliver the roast duck himself. How else would he express respect to Lin Fan if he didn’t deliver it personally?
However, it was strange that Mr. Lin instructed him not to reveal Lin’s identity, just to pretend not to know Mr. Lin.
Even though Jiang didn’t quite understand, since Mr. Lin wanted to do it this way, there must be a reason, so earlier inside, he pretended not to know Lin Fan, but out of heartfelt respect, he was still a bit anxious and didn’t dare to look directly at Mr. Lin.
"No problem, no problem, being able to assist Mr. Lin is my honor," Jiang quickly said.
Lin Fan smiled, "President Jiang, you delivered the roast duck so quickly, it wasn’t personally made by you, was it?"
President Jiang’s old face flushed, and he said, "Well... it really wasn’t, the process of making roast duck is quite complicated, it can’t be done so fast, I delivered a ready-made one."
Lin Fan found it amusing, since the roast duck wasn’t personally made by President Jiang, faults could definitely be found, but with President Jiang present, even if President Chen did find any faults, it would still seem flawless.
Lin Fan laughed and said, "Thanks to President Jiang this time, I owe you a favor."
President Jiang was overjoyed; with Lin Fan’s words, his trip wasn’t in vain tonight!
In Yun City, very few could make President Jiang personally deliver roast duck, and Lin Fan was definitely one, because of his status as the richest, masterful and mysterious wealthy Mr. Lin, which makes this favor particularly significant!
Lin Fan’s promise to owe him a favor could potentially be of great assistance one day!
Indeed, later on, President Jiang encountered a difficulty where he almost lost his life, and it was Lin Fan who helped save him, returning the favor. But that was a story for another time.
Subsequently, President Jiang bid farewell and left, this time for real. His earlier farewell inside the private room was just a guise to come outside and wait for Mr. Lin since he had agreed to chat a bit with Lin Fan.
After President Jiang left, Lin Fan sat on the steps nearby to rest a bit.
Of course, he wasn’t really going to repair a car; it was just an excuse to deceive President Chen. Lin Fan could now be certain that this President Chen had malicious intentions, and he wanted to see what this guy was capable of doing.
Inside the private room.
After Lin Fan left, President Chen was extremely happy; this annoying assistant was finally gone. Saying he had to fix a car that would take over an hour, wasn’t this a golden opportunity!
An hour was more than enough time for him to do whatever he wanted.
"President Chen, why don’t we talk about the school investment issue?" Liu Mengjie suggested. Her purpose for staying here or coming tonight was to discuss investment with President Chen, and besides that, she had nothing else to discuss nor was she interested.
But President Chen laughed and said, "Investment is just like that; I’ve said I have plenty of money. Tonight we’re primarily here to make friends and have fun. Business is just a small part."
Liu Mengjie was momentarily at a loss for words. As the principal, she never had to worry about money before, just focusing on the educational work. Therefore, she wasn’t familiar with these dining and drinking gatherings. Is this how business is discussed?
Everyone gets together, not to discuss serious business but to eat, drink, and have fun!
She wasn’t entirely wrong, as generally, drinking and dining events are all about eating, drinking, and having fun. Serious business discussions happen in the office. President Chen invited her here, which, in his view, already implied a tacit mutual understanding.
Thankfully, although Liu Mengjie didn’t understand, Lin Fan did. President Chen invited Liu Mengjie to the KTV, ostensibly to discuss business, but in reality, what good could come of it? If Liu Mengjie got drunk, anything could happen, and Liu Mengjie would undoubtedly come out on the losing end.
"Miss Liu, how about having a couple of drinks with me?" President Chen said with a sly smile.
Liu Mengjie was startled and quickly said, "Wasn’t it agreed that no one would be drinking tonight?"
President Chen laughed, "Right, your assistant was serious about it; whoever drinks tonight is a cowardly fool. I wouldn’t want to be a cowardly fool. How about we drink water instead of alcohol, would that be acceptable?"
Saying this, President Chen poured a glass of water for himself and Liu Mengjie.
Liu Mengjie breathed a sigh of relief, as drinking water was not an issue.
"Come on, aren’t you a teacher at a music academy? Pick a song, and we’ll duet on one," President Chen said with a mischievous expression, ready to take his time with Liu Mengjie with Lin Fan gone, having plenty of time.
Liu Mengjie didn’t really want to duet with President Chen, but thinking about the investment, she had to bear it. Moreover, in a KTV, singing a song together wasn’t that bad of a request.
"I’ll have a look then," Liu Mengjie said, standing up and walking to the song selection station, starting to browse.
At this moment, Liu Mengjie was facing away from President Chen.
President Chen glanced at Liu Mengjie, and while she wasn’t looking, suddenly, his hand quickly pulled out a small bottle from his pocket, shaking some white powder into Liu Mengjie’s glass of water.
The powder dissolved instantly in the water, leaving no trace.
President Chen’s lips curled into a sinister smile, no alcohol then a little trick to make you obediently collapse!
