Chapter 404: I have a way to definitely make you stand up

The next day.

Wei Family.

A piece of news spread around, sparking discussions among the Wei Family members.

"Have you heard? Yesterday Elder Wei went to Wei Qingxue’s home. They say he went to beg her to return to the Wei Family!"

"Oh my God, Elder Wei personally went to beg her? Did I hear that right?"

"It can’t be! Elder Wei just kicked her out, and now he wants her back, and is personally inviting her. Wei Qingxue must have a lot of influence!"

"What else could he do? Wanjin only agreed to discuss cooperation with Wei Qingxue. Elder Wei had to swallow his pride."

"That means Wei Qingxue is coming back to be the company president again!"

"Indeed, I never expected this. I thought she was already down and out, but now she’s bouncing back with an even higher status in the Wei Family than before."

"Then the eldest son’s dream of becoming president is doomed to fall through again..."

The Wei Family members continued to argue among themselves.

Wei Tang, upon hearing the discussions, was furious.

"Wei Qingxue!" Wei Tang gritted his teeth, "How outrageous! The presidency is mine. I am the eldest son and rightful heir of the Wei Family. I am the company’s true successor!"

"What right do you have to compete with me, Wei Qingxue! No matter what, the presidency is mine this time. You won’t snatch it away again!"

Wei Tang’s expression gradually turned vicious.

Wanjin Company.

"Miss Wei, I hope we have a pleasant cooperation." Secretary Xu said with a smile, shaking hands with Wei Qingxue.

Secretary Xu was originally the chairman’s secretary. After Zhao Feng was fired, Lin Fan appointed her as the new head of the investment department, responsible for negotiating investment matters with the Wei Family.

Wei Qingxue shook hands with Secretary Xu and said, "By the way, can I see your chairman? I heard that it was the chairman who decided to restart investment in the Wei Family, and I’d like to thank him in person."

After Elder Wei personally came to apologize, Wei Qingxue eventually chose to forgive him. She was also reluctant to admit defeat so easily.

As agreed, she was here today to negotiate cooperation with Wanjin, and had brought Lin Fan with her.

Secretary Xu glanced at Lin Fan beside Wei Qingxue, looking a bit awkward but then quickly regaining composure.

"The chairman is on a business trip. There will be opportunities to meet him in the future." Secretary Xu said.

Secretary Xu couldn’t figure out why the chairman wanted to hide his identity and instructed everyone at the company to pretend not to know him today. How strange.

However, Secretary Xu dared not ask further questions regarding the chairman’s intentions; she simply obeyed.

Wei Qingxue felt disappointed for not meeting the chairman and said, "Alright, please be sure to convey my thanks to the chairman once he returns. I will personally visit to thank him then."

Secretary Xu replied, "Okay, I will inform the chairman."

Wei Qingxue asked, "By the way, I have always wanted to ask why you chose to negotiate with me?"

Secretary Xu smiled and said, "That’s the chairman’s decision. He believes you’re the only trustworthy person in the entire Wei Family. He doesn’t trust anyone else from the Wei Family."

Wei Qingxue was pleasantly surprised: "Truly, I thank him."

Lin Fan laughed and said, "Your chairman really has a good eye."

Secretary Xu stole a glance at Lin Fan, feeling amused, thinking about how the chairman insists on negotiating with Wei Qingxue because she’s actually his wife.

Afterward, Wei Qingxue bid farewell and left with Lin Fan.

Upon exiting Wanjin Company, Wei Qingxue’s face showed a smile, feeling unprecedentedly relieved.

"Finally secured the funds. Our project in Hang City is revived, and the Wei Family is saved. It’s really great!" Wei Qingxue exclaimed happily.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "You’ve made great contributions this time. It seems that Elder Wei shouldn’t force you to marry anymore; you can marry someone you actually want to."

Wei Qingxue said, "Yes, Lin Fan, thank you for everything during this period. Including today, for escorting me here. Once everything settles down, let’s find a time to finalize the divorce. I’ll pay you as agreed."

Lin Fan readily agreed, "Sure."

They got into Wei Qingxue’s Porsche and headed to the Wei Family Mansion to wrap everything up after signing the agreement with Wanjin; Wei Qingxue needed to report to Elder Wei.

The car reached a quiet spot.

Suddenly, a person darted out from the roadside ahead, crossing the street.

Wei Qingxue was startled and quickly slammed on the brakes.

The car barely stopped in front of the person, but they had already fallen to the ground, letting out a miserable howl.

Wei Qingxue’s face turned pale: "Oh no, did I just hit someone?"

She quickly unfastened her seatbelt, opened the car door, and got out to see the situation.

Lin Fan followed her out of the car.

"Ah, I’m in such pain. How do you drive!" The uncle on the ground held his knee with both hands, looking pained.

"I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to. You suddenly ran out; I braked immediately." Wei Qingxue said.

The uncle said, "I don’t care. My leg is broken! You have to pay for my medical expenses."

Wei Qingxue was a kind-hearted person. Regardless, she had indeed knocked the uncle over and could not leave him to suffer.

"How much do you want? How about I take you to the hospital, and I’ll cover your medical expenses?" Wei Qingxue offered.

The uncle said, "I don’t need you pretending to be kind. Just pay me the money. My leg is severely injured; medical expenses are at least a hundred thousand. Just give me a hundred thousand. This is a QR code; you can transfer the money to me."

The uncle pulled out a QR code from his pocket and tossed it in front of Wei Qingxue.

Wei Qingxue was stunned, feeling that something was amiss. The uncle seemed skillful, even carrying a QR code with him?

Lin Fan laughed at this moment and said, "Uncle, how’s your injury? Why don’t I take a look? I’m a doctor."

The uncle hurriedly said, "Don’t come closer. I don’t believe you’re a doctor. What if you cripple me? Just hurry up and pay; that’s enough!"

Lin Fan said, "Without confirming your injury, how can we pay? If your leg’s indeed crippled, paying too little would be unfair to you, right?"

The uncle said, "I know my own injury. You just have to pay the hundred thousand!"

Lin Fan shook his head, "No, that’s not right. We’re very fair people and don’t want you to suffer loss. Come on, let’s have a look at your injury."

Speaking, Lin Fan already walked over and, without explanation, patted the uncle on the shoulder, sending a surge of force.

The uncle shivered all over, and his hands limply released.

Lin Fan squatted down, looked at his leg, and said, "Your leg is perfectly fine—no contact with the car. How could you be injured?"

The uncle said, "I don’t care. Anyway, my leg hurts and I can’t walk. You definitely hit me, so pay up immediately. Stop dawdling!"

Lin Fan said, "Got it. Your leg hurts, right? I know a method that’ll surely let you stand up. Have you heard about fire therapy?"

Lin Fan took out a lighter, ignited it, and approached the uncle’s foot.

"Ah!"

The moment the flame touched the uncle’s skin, he screamed in pain, reflexively bouncing up.

"Are you crazy, burning me? Are you trying to kill me?" The uncle cursed angrily.

Lin Fan chuckled and said, "You see, I said fire therapy is effective."

The uncle suddenly realized he’d fallen victim to Lin Fan’s trick. Now standing up, it was clear his leg was fine!

Wei Qingxue now fully understood, and angrily said, "So you’re faking it? You are running a scam!"
