In Zhou Yuwen's view, although Ye Fan's dress is not shabby, it is still in the category of ordinary people, and he is probably Liu Yiyi's follower.
It is a great gift for such a servant to be able to eat at the same table as them, but who would have thought that he would dare to take Lu Xuan's seat.
The more Zhou Yuwen thought about it, the angrier he became. He glared at Ye Fan fiercely and gritted his teeth and said: "Boy, if you heard what I said, get out of here immediately, otherwise I will be rude to you!"
"Oh?" Ye Fan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, folded his hands in front of his chest, and said lightly: "I'm very curious, how can you be rude to me!"
"presumptuous!"
Zhou Yuwen shouted loudly, never expecting that Ye Fan would not take him seriously. If he hadn't been concerned about his identity, he would have fought.
When Liu Yiyi saw this, she frowned and said, "Young Master Zhou..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was immediately interrupted by Zhou Yuwen: "Miss Yiyi, a servant like this who doesn't distinguish between superior and inferior, doesn't know etiquette, and just needs to be dealt with. Today I will teach him a lesson for you!"
As he said that, a ferocious look flashed in Zhou Yuwen's eyes, and he actually grabbed a red wine glass on the table and tried to smash it at Ye Fan's head.
If an ordinary person were hit, they would probably suffer a bloody head injury instantly.
At this moment, Liu Yiyi suddenly burst out into a high-pitched scream:
"That's enough! Stop it!!!"
Between the lines, there is deep anger that cannot be resolved.
After hearing this, Zhou Yuwen subconsciously let go of the red wine glass, turned his head and looked around, and found that Liu Yiyi's eyebrows were standing straight up, her pretty face was full of anger.
"Miss Yiyi, you are just a servant, why are you so angry?" Zhou Yuwen asked in confusion, obviously not expecting that she would be angry because of a follower.
"Zhou Yuwen! Xiaofan is my friend - my best friend! Please apologize to him immediately for your rudeness just now!"
Although Liu Yiyi used the word "please", her tone was extremely firm.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yuwen and Lu Xuan next to them were both stunned.
best friend?!
A few numbers contain a huge amount of information.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and people flock together.
The kind of person you are will determine the kind of friends you make.
The friends of multimillionaires are multimillionaires, and the friends of billionaires are billionaires. There is a clear distinction between the various circles.
Liu Yiyi is the only daughter of Liu Buyi, the richest man in Huahai. Her friends are all the sons of wealthy people, and their family assets exceed at least tens of billions.
And the fact that Ye Fan can be called her "best" friend is enough to prove that his status is extraordinary, far beyond ordinary people's imagination.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
The eyes of several people in the venue were all focused on Ye Fan. Looking at his unattractive appearance, they thought to themselves:
Could it be that this guy...is some master who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger?!
…
For a moment, Ye Fan's body seemed to be covered with a deep layer of fog, so mysterious that Zhou Yuwen was not sure of his identity and background.
However, top young men like Zhou Yuwen have always been domineering and arrogant.
For him to abandon all his dignity and apologize humbly in front of a large audience is simply more uncomfortable than killing him.
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became a little awkward. It was so silent that you could hear a pin drop, and it was deathly quiet.
Zhou Yuwen was like a wooden man, stuck in place, silent.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yiyi went uncharacteristically and showed an unprecedented toughness, saying word by word: "Zhou Yuwen, since you look down on Xiaofan, you look down on me. There is no need for me to stay here shamelessly!"
"Xiaofan, let's go!"
Saying that, Liu Yiyi took the initiative to hold Ye Fan's arm and walked outside.
Liu Yiyi's attitude completely exceeded Zhou Yuwen's expectations, and his face looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit.
You must know that although the Zhou family is a wealthy person in Lucheng, compared with Liu Buyi, the richest man in Huahai, they are not on the same level at all.
Throughout the East China business community, Liu Buyi has extraordinary energy, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain.
And everyone knows that Liu Buyi regards his only daughter as the apple of his eye and wishes he could pluck all the moons in the world to give it to her.
If Liu Yiyi is offended, it will definitely be bad news for the Zhou family.
After Zhou Yuwen returns, he will never be able to explain to his father, and he might even be forced to go to the gate of the Liu family and plead guilty.
Thinking of this and looking at the two people leaving, Zhou Yuwen quickly said: "Miss Yiyi, wait! I am wrong about this matter!"
Liu Yiyi stopped, turned to look at him, and said coldly: "I shouldn't be the one you're apologizing to!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen could only hold back the grievance in his heart, walked to Mark, squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said: "Brother, I offended you just now, please forgive me, I will respect you later."
Why don’t you drink a few glasses of wine to make amends!”
Seeing this, Ye Fan pondered for a moment and said calmly: "For Yiyi's sake, I will reluctantly forgive you! I won't do it again!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yuwen's face became even more ugly, and a look of violence flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Lu Xuan hurriedly came over to smooth things over and said with a smile: "Haha... We all don't know each other without fighting. Let's serve it quickly. The food will be cold later!"
…
Next, everyone sat down one after another.
Ye Fan still sat on the right side of Liu Yiyi, but Zhou Yuwen gave up his seat to Lu Xuan, making Lu Xuan sit on the left side of Liu Yiyi.
After three rounds of drinking, we drank and drank.
Lu Xuan was the initiator of this dinner. As a son of an official, his speech and behavior were impeccable. He told a few jokes from time to time, which quickly heated up the atmosphere in the room and resolved the previous embarrassment.
But beneath his seemingly warm smile, Ye Fan could faintly detect a hint of hostility.
Although Lu Xuan hid very well, he still couldn't escape from Ye Fan's keen consciousness.
This guy is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp!
The gentle appearance on the outside is probably an act.
Ye Fan has always been disdainful of such hypocrites, and he also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Lu Xuan's gourd, so he remained silent.
At this moment, Lu Xuan looked at Liu Yiyi, showed an impeccable smile, and said:
"Miss Yiyi, I heard from Yuwen that you are here to participate in the auction of magical artifacts! My dad is the parent official of Lucheng, and our Lu family also has some connections with those ancient martial arts families. Why not let me be the guide for tomorrow's auction?
!”
Liu Yiyi hesitated for a moment and declined politely: "Mr. Lu, this... is too much trouble for you. We can just go shopping by ourselves!"
"No trouble, no trouble! It's an honor for me to be able to accompany Miss Yiyi!" Lu Xuan showed extra enthusiasm.
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. He said so. Liu Yiyi was too embarrassed to refuse and could only nod in agreement.
Suddenly, Liu Yiyi seemed to have thought of something and asked: "By the way, Mr. Lu, I haven't asked you where you are employed?"
"Since graduating with a master's degree from Yanjing University, I have been working at Lucheng Development and Reform Commission!" Lu Xuan replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yuwen next to him said quickly: "Master Lu is so humble. He was promoted to a full-time major two years ago. The next time he is elected, he will most likely make further progress! By then, Master Lu will be the best in our Lucheng.
A young junior cadre!"
"What the hell, I haven't even written my horoscope yet!" Lu Xuan said modestly, but there was a hint of pride and pride in his brows.
His unit is a key department with great power. If he can be promoted before the age of 30 and become the second-in-command of the department, let alone Lucheng, he will be rare in the entire Jiangnan Province. His future achievements will be limitless.
There is even hope of becoming a feudal official.
Since ancient times, China has valued officials over business.
Even if wealthy businessmen like the Zhou family have tens of billions of assets, a single document from "above" may bring their business to a halt or even cause them to go bankrupt.
Because of this, Zhou Yuwen wanted to curry favor with Lu Xuan in every possible way, which can be regarded as a long-term investment.
…
At this moment, Zhou Yuwen suddenly turned his head, looked at Ye Fan, and asked: "I wonder what Mr. Ye's family does. Is your father also a financial tycoon like Mr. Liu?"
"No!" Ye Fan shook his head.
"Oh?" Zhou Yuwen raised his eyebrows and cautiously asked: "Could it be that... your father is a man in the ring?"
Next to him, although Lu Xuan remained calm on the surface, his ears pricked up and he became a little more nervous for no reason.
In Lu Xuan's opinion, being able to become Liu Yiyi's best friend means you must be rich or noble.
Since Ye Fan's family does not do business, he must be "expensive", and maybe he is the son of a big boss in Huahai City.
However, at this time, Ye Fan shook his head again and said calmly: "I am just an ordinary citizen with no family background. My father raised me by running a street vendor!"
"boom!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a huge stone smashing into the calm water, causing thousands of waves and causing an uproar in the venue.
Zhou Yuwen and Lu Xuan's expressions changed drastically, with incredible expressions on their faces. They couldn't believe their ears.
A street vendor? What a joke!
How could such a poor person have anything to do with the eldest lady of the Liu family?!
"Hahaha……"
Suddenly, Lu Xuan burst out laughing, resolving the awkward atmosphere, and said, "Ye Shaozhen knows how to joke! Since you don't want to reveal your identity, we won't force you!"
With that said, Lu Xuan picked up the Maotai wine next to him, filled up the wine glasses in front of himself and Ye Fan, took the initiative to hold the glasses and said:
"Come, Mr. Ye, we are destined to meet each other. I'll toast you! This is my father's 20-year-old Feitian Moutai. I'll do it first as a token of respect!"
As he spoke, Lu Xuan drank the wine in one gulp, showing full sincerity and not showing any airs of Mr. Lucheng.
Seeing this, Ye Fan also picked up the wine glass, but did not drink it all. He touched the glass with his lips, tasted briefly, and then put the glass down again.
Seeing this move, Lu Xuan's smile froze, his face suddenly darkened, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched, obviously suppressing the anger in his heart.
China's wine culture is the most extensive and profound, and there are many unwritten rules on the wine table.
When people of the same generation toast to each other, drinking to the full is regarded as respect, and only a small taste is enough. This is a privilege only enjoyed by elders or leaders.
Now, as the number one son of the municipal party committee, Lu Xuan took the initiative to toast and gave Ye Fan enough face, but Ye Fan didn't take him seriously at all.
What a big spectrum!
Seeing Lu Xuan being slighted, Zhou Yuwen next to him couldn't help it. But thinking of Liu Yiyi's attitude, he didn't dare to confront Ye Fan head-on, so he could only say angrily:
"Hmph! Mr. Ye, if you only take a sip of Mr. Lu's wine, it's too disrespectful! No matter what your family's background is, this is Lucheng's territory after all! In Lucheng, Mr. Lu is this -"
After saying that, Zhou Yuwen gave a thumbs up, showing Lu Xuan's extraordinary status.
"I don't need to give anyone face!" Ye Fan said.
…
Although his voice was quiet, it was decisive and sonorous, as if he was explaining something that was perfectly justified.
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's expression changed drastically, and an unknown fire burst into his heart.
Clay Bodhisattva also has three points of fire energy!
With his status, this is the first time he has been treated with such contempt.
The next moment, Lu Xuan could no longer maintain the appearance of a handsome gentleman. A dark look flashed in his eyes, staring straight at Ye Fan, and said aggressively:
"Young Master Ye, it doesn't matter if you look down on me, but today, I represent my father! Don't you give me my father's face?"
"a ha ha ha……"
Ye Fan heard the words and let out a burst of heroic laughter. His spine was as straight as a sword, and he burst out with the aura of looking down on the world and arrogantly saying:
"What about your dad? Even if the top leader in Jiangnan Province is here, he can't force me to do anything!"
