Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 816

The rise to wealth of Wei Tiansheng, the richest man in Jiangnan, seems even more mysterious than Lin Fan's. There are many speculations about Lin Fan, this newly emerged billionaire magnate. Some speculate Lin Fan has a strong background, possibly belonging to the Kyoto Lin Family, while others guess there's a mysterious high-tech company behind him...

But even more guesses are made about Wei Tiansheng than about Lin Fan!

Almost no one knows the true origins of Wei Tiansheng. According to the official explanation from Wangu Group, Wei Tiansheng is the descendant of overseas Chinese who returned to start a business in middle age, founding Wangu Group. During the era of booming real estate, Wangu Group rapidly rose, leveraging the favorable climate, and after more than twenty years of development, ultimately became the richest man in Jiangnan.

A business magazine once interviewed Wei Tiansheng. In the interview, Wei Tiansheng claimed that his family wasn't wealthy, and he suffered many hardships when he was young. During his overseas studies, he often went hungry, and later he made his first bucket of gold by partnering with friends to sell soybeans.

This happened overseas and cannot be verified anymore.

Anyway, it's as if the period of Wei Tiansheng's life before founding Wangu Group was erased, left for him to paint as he wished.

There are many doubts about this from the outside world. For example, how could a poor overseas student from a Chinese family get rich from selling soybeans?

Some believe Wei Tiansheng must be hiding key information. Perhaps he encountered a benefactor, or some even speculate that he actually came from a super-wealthy family but simply couldn't reveal it publicly.

But regardless, no one knows Wei Tiansheng's true experiences. Moreover, ever since his rise, Wei Tiansheng has been operating by the book, and being enthusiastic about public welfare, he has maintained a good business image. He receives more praise than doubt, so nobody bothers to dig too deeply into his background.

"After I expelled Wei Tianhu from the Wei Family, it was like he vanished from the world. I didn't hear from him for a long time. In fact, I was so angry at the time that I drove him out, but later I regretted it. After all, he is my younger brother, and he never suffered any hardships growing up. I was worried that he might find it hard to survive after leaving home, so I tried to find him, but by then, he had disappeared without a trace. I even thought he might have died in some unknown place, and I was sad for a long time. When I saw him again, it was already ten years later, and he had become the owner of Wangu Group, having even changed his name to Wei Tiansheng."

Elder Wei said.

"As for his experiences over these years, I do not know. I am genuinely curious about how he made his fortune. He indeed left home penniless, yet later he could become the richest man in Jiangnan. Surely there must have been some unusual events worthy of exploration."

Lin Fan nodded, smiling, "Perhaps we can uncover something good…"

Elder Wei fell silent for a moment, a bitter smile on his face, "I never thought that things would have escalated to this point between us brothers. I know he wants to destroy the Wei Family, blaming me for driving him out back then. He wants revenge. Little Fan, do you think I was too harsh back then? Leading the Wei Family into today's crisis, is it all my fault?"

Lin Fan said earnestly, "No, I might have done the same if I were you."

His beloved woman, unrequited love, wed his brother, yet the brother didn't cherish her, indulging in affairs outside, causing the wife to die of depression…

Anyone would feel heartache and anger!

Elder Wei was indeed a man of emotions.

Lin Fan completely understood Elder Wei's actions at the time. He wished he would never face such a melodramatic situation. Although Lin Fan didn't have any biological brothers, he had friends. If he and a good friend fell in love with the same woman, how would he handle it?

Would he fall out with his friend and fight to the death, or would he take an active step back, letting his beloved woman go to his friend?

Either way, just thinking about it is suffocating.

Of course, such depressing drama is unlikely to happen to Lin Fan. The woman Lin Fan sets his eyes on can only be his. Whoever tries to compete with Lin Fan is destined to suffer a miserable fate.

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Elder Wei was somewhat comforted, gratefully saying, "Little Fan, thank you for your understanding. Thanks to your intervention today, the Wei Family was saved. You are a great benefactor to us, the Wei Family. I don't even know how to repay your kindness."

Lin Fan, being the richest man in Yun City with a mysterious background, must be from an illustrious family. Their small third-tier Wei Family probably doesn't even qualify to serve Lin Fan.

Lin Fan smiled, "No need for formalities, sir. You mentioned Wei Tiansheng to me just now, which is already a form of repayment. Besides, I helped because of Qingxue. Don't forget, I was once your family's son-in-law, and I don't want her to lose her job."

Elder Wei felt a bit embarrassed, saying, "Even so, this time you've made Wei Tiansheng an adversary. He likely won't let things slide. You've essentially gained a significant enemy."

Lin Fan laughed aloud, "No worries. Wei Tiansheng and I are already old rivals. Even without today's incident, he wouldn't have spared me."

Elder Wei was taken aback, "I've been largely reclusive, not keeping up with worldly affairs, but I've heard bits and pieces. Are you saying, did you really put a stop to Wei Tiansheng's community group buying project, Little Fan?"

Lin Fan nodded, "Yes."

Elder Wei was silently astonished. Lin Fan, this young man, truly is extraordinary. So young, yet able to repeatedly win against an old fox like Wei Tiansheng! Rumors have it that the means of the mysterious millionaire Mr. Lin are extraordinary; indeed, they are not unfounded!

Putting aside personal interests, with Lin Fan restraining Wei Tiansheng, the Wei Family could breathe a little easier. With Lin Fan around, Wei Tiansheng's attempt to swallow the Wei Family would no longer be an easy feat.

Lin Fan's Mortal Group currently had a market value nearing the 300 billion mark, approaching Wangu Group's 350 billion. With this supersonic growth pace, Mortal Group surpassing Wangu Group was only a matter of time.

Thus, from this perspective, it's understandable that Wei Tiansheng would view Lin Fan as an enemy and attempt to counter him. However, can Wei Tiansheng truly halt Lin Fan?

Elder Wei knew that Lin Fan, this young man, was also no easy character, certainly not one to sit passively. He hoped that what he talked about with Lin Fan today might be of some help, which would bring him much relief.

"Little Fan, one more thing, please don't blame me for being nosy. You and Qingxue have divorced. You're still willing to help her. Is there any possibility you two might reconcile?" Elder Wei asked with a smile.

This was what he cared about the most. If Lin Fan could remarry Wei Qingxue, it would mean they had a billionaire magnate as a son-in-law, undoubtedly an incredibly good thing for the Wei Family.

Lin Fan was somewhat embarrassed. Apparently, Wei Qingxue hadn't told Elder Wei the reason he became the Wei Family's son-in-law back then.

Now, it's nothing that can't be revealed anymore, so Lin Fan said, "Actually…"

Lin Fan briefly explained how he was asked by Wei Qingxue to enter a fake marriage to fend off pressures to marry.

After hearing this, Elder Wei nearly fainted.
