Looking at his own ugly photos, President Chenâs face turned white. This was practically a major social suicide scene. From now on, President Chen would become a laughing stock.
"That assistant, it must be him!" President Chen gritted his teeth in hatred. All of this had to be Liu Mengjieâs assistant, Lin Fanâs doing!
"What assistant?" Wei Tiansheng asked.
President Chen said angrily, "Last night at the KTV, Liu Mengjie brought a male assistant. That guy... that guy is a pauper but very cunning, ruining... ruining my good thing."
Wei Tiansheng snorted coldly and said, "A pauper? Youâre saying the richest man in Yun City is a pauper?"
President Chen was stunned: "The richest man in Yun City?"
Wei Tiansheng said, "The assistant you mentioned is Lin Fan, now the richest man in Yun City!"
"What?" President Chen was shocked and didnât react for a long time. "So it was the richest man in Yun City, no wonder, no wonder the boss of De Xinglong would personally deliver takeout, no wonder everyone at the KTV was helping him. Itâs not unjust that I fell at the hands of Yun Cityâs richest man this time!"
Wei Tiansheng said, "You still have the face to talk! I told you to settle things with Liu Mengjie, to take control of the Yun City Music Academy, not to use such despicable means!"
President Chen broke out in a cold sweat: "I thought Liu Mengjie was just a principal, who knew she had Lin Fan backing her..."
Wei Tiansheng snorted, "This is also the first Iâve heard of Liu Mengjie and Lin Fan having a relationship. Taking control of the Yun City Music Academy probably wonât be that easy."
President Chen said, "Iâm sorry, Mr. Wei, this is all my fault. I donât know what I can do to make amends, please give me an order."
Wei Tiansheng said, "Do you think Liu Mengjie is still willing to discuss investments with you? Youâre already out of the game. The urgent task is to seize control of the Yun City Music Academy first. Iâll personally take over this matter, get lost, you useless piece of trash!"
President Chen was sweating coldly. He dared not say anything and could only nod and retreat, knowing that he would lose Wei Tianshengâs trust from now on. He had become a discarded pawn!
President Chen was full of hate, all of this was Lin Fanâs doing!
He hated Lin Fan, but when he thought of Lin Fan being the richest man in Yun City, he felt deflated. What would he use to fight against the richest man in Yun City? Moreover, the other party was the legendary mysterious wealthy Mr. Lin, who made him suffer so much last night!
Yun City Music Academy.
Board of Directors meeting.
A few board members, at Liu Mengjieâs invitation, all attended.
They werenât giving face to Liu Mengjie as principal, but because when inviting them, Liu Mengjie mentioned someone, Yun Cityâs richest man, Lin Fan!
Obviously, Liu Mengjie and Lin Fan were friends. This time, Lin Fan intended to help Liu Mengjie and wanted to discuss the affairs of Yun City Music Academy with these board members.
Lin Fan hadnât arrived yet, and the board members were buzzing with discussion.
"What does Mr. Lin want to discuss with us? Could it be heâs thinking of taking over the school?"
"Do you think Mr. Lin is a fool? Do you think he isnât clear about the schoolâs poor management? Who would want to take over this mess?"
"And isnât the schoolâs current state due to everyone present here?"
"What do you mean? Havenât you contributed with your bad ideas these past years?"
"I say, even if an âImmortalâ came, it wouldnât help. This school might as well just close down!"
The board members hadnât spoken a few words before they started arguing and accusing each other.
Indeed, the Yun City Music Academy had been losing money for the past two years, especially the revenue last year, which reduced significantly. This was the direct reason for their conflict.
To them, this mess seemed unresolvable.
Being wealthy individuals with investment experience, theyâd made this judgment after deep consideration, deciding it as a failed project to be cut off, a typical instance of âcutting off oneâs limb to surviveâ.
"Have you truly decided to quit?"
A voice asked, and they saw Lin Fan, accompanied by Liu Mengjie, walking in.
Young and handsome!
This was the legendary mysterious wealthy Mr. Lin!
"Let me introduce myself. I am Lin Fan." Lin Fan smiled.
The board members were stunned. They had heard Mr. Lin was a young man, but Mr. Lin was younger and more handsome than they had imagined. Although all of them were older than him, they couldnât help feeling somewhat inferior in front of Mr. Lin.
This was the aura!
Clearly, Mr. Linâs attire was simple, even basic, yet his aura made one want to kneel and bow unconsciously.
Of course, itâs not that Lin Fan had an exceptionally strong aura, but rather the board membersâ preconceived notions. Knowing Mr. Linâs identity naturally made them see him in a larger-than-life way.
"Mr. Lin."
"Mr. Lin."
"Mr. Lin."
The board members all addressed him respectfully, ceasing their previous quarrel.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "No need to be polite. Today, Iâm mainly here to talk about the business of Yun City Music Academy. Sister Mengjie is my friend, and she loves this school very much and hopes it can continue because it is her passion and her career. As her friend, I naturally support that. But this conflicts with you board membersâ intentions. I know none of you want to continue. So, today I am here to resolve this conflict."
The board members looked at each other.
"I wonder what insights Mr. Lin might have?"
"Mr. Lin, you are the richest man in Yun City, wealthier than all of us combined. If you wish to help Mengjie, perhaps you could take over this business."
"Correct, Mr. Lin, are you interested?"
The board members all chimed in.
Liu Mengjie said, "Lin Fan will not invest in the school. This is an agreement we have reached."
Liu Mengjie hoped that her relationship with Lin Fan was pure, without being mixed with financial interests, because once money was involved, conflicts easily arose. Just like these board members who were once good friends sharing drinks, but after the schoolâs management worsened, turned against each other, wanting to split up, arguing fiercely.
This was something Liu Mengjie didnât want to see.
Upon hearing that Lin Fan wouldnât invest in the school, the board members fell silent.
Indeed, Mr. Lin was Mr. Lin, not a fool. He surely realized the school was a mess, so he wasnât taking over. If even Mr. Lin wouldnât take over, they were even more convinced of their decision; this school seemed hopeless.
"Since Mr. Lin doesnât want to take over, thereâs nothing more to say."
"Indeed, I donât think thereâs any need to discuss other matters. We should just talk about splitting up!"
"Itâs time to clear up the schoolâs assets and distribute them fairly."
The board members spoke one after another, feeling somewhat disinterested. Although they were clamoring to withdraw their investments, once it came to actually splitting up, they were somewhat reluctant, as this school had been their passion too.
Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "I wonât invest, but the school must continue to operate. Iâm here today to offer you some advice."
