Chapter 34: It Turns Out to Be a Paper Tiger



"Mhm!" Chen Ling lowered her head, her earlobes turning red.

In the midst of talking, Ling Fan saw Vermilion Bird who had just entered on the first floor through the glass balustrade.

"Vermilion Bird, over here!" Ling Fan called out from the second floor to the one below.

Vermilion Bird came to the second floor and stood in front of Ling Fan, still in the lively casual outfit from last night.

"I got held up by something earlier, where are we headed?"

"Isn’t there an auction at the Feng Family today?" Ling Fan asked.

"Yes, the Feng Family is recently transitioning to light assets. A local century-old brand ’Huang Laoji’, due to mismanagement, is being put up for auction by the decedents today this afternoon!"

"Good, let’s head upstairs first!"

Third Floor, Xiao Chubing’s office.

"You haven’t torn down my company, have you!" Xiao Chubing didn’t even lift her head, focusing on organizing documents.

Ling Fan sighed. The real top tycoons of the world, who had people running their businesses well-organized beneath them, spent their days leisurely and never got so tired.

They needed only to give directions on the bigger picture.

"Keep Chen Ling employed, Qian Dayong as the Head of the Security Department..." Ling Fan relayed some company personnel changes.

Xiao Chubing stopped writing but didn’t ask further, "Xu Sicong has broken the contract and discontinued collaboration with the company. His lawyer called just now, willing to pay the penalty!"

"Is the loss big?"

"It has some impact on the company!"

"Vermilion Bird!" Ling Fan called out towards the door.

Xiao Chubing gave Vermilion Bird a startled look, always feeling a sense of threat from this woman.

Ling Fan scratched his head; he was not insensitive, "Let me formally introduce her, Vermilion Bird is my friend; don’t get any wrong ideas, I’ve known her even longer than you!"

"So sister-in-law is jealous of me? Then you’ve got to keep an eye on him, sister-in-law. There are enough women who admire Beiming to circle the equator!" Vermilion Bird winked playfully.

"Pff, if he could get a line to the company’s front door, that would be something." She couldn’t believe Vermilion Bird’s words and took it as a joke meant to lighten the mood.

Ling Fan felt a bit of a toothache. This was the real nature of Vermilion Bird, but teasing him like this wasn’t too kind; luckily, Xiao Chubing didn’t seem to believe it at all.

Xiao Chubing had her own plans. The closer she got to Ling Fan, the more of an enigma he seemed, harder and harder to see through, as if he was the starry sea.

Therefore, she planned to get on good terms with Vermilion Bird, using this as a breakthrough point.

"Making the Xu Family of Fengyang go bankrupt, would that be difficult?" Ling Fan’s abrupt comment made Xiao Chubing tense up.

"Are you serious, husband?" She looked towards Vermilion Bird.

Vermilion Bird hesitated for a moment, "No big problem, I’ll arrange it now!"

"Just what is Vermilion Bird’s background? Isn’t her power too terrifying?" No wonder she felt threatened.

In the past, she had thought herself quite outstanding, but after meeting Vermilion Bird, her advantages seemed to vanish.

"Uncle Jiang, make arrangements to bankrupt the Xu Family of Fengyang," Vermilion Bird instructed on the phone.

On the other end was a spirited elderly man, "Miss, are you talking about Xu Xiaotian?"

"Yes, any problems?"

"Xu Xiaotian’s father-in-law was once a general in the military. Although he’s retired now, he still has many former subordinates and acquaintances. But if the miss insists, our Li Family doesn’t really care!" Old Jiang explained.

Li Wei held a very high position within the family. Her opinions needed to be carefully considered by the Family Head.

"Alright, go ahead then!" Vermilion Bird hung up the phone.

Xiao Chubing was already stunned.

"I owe you a favor," Ling Fan said indifferently.

"Don’t mention it, just be nice to your sister-in-law," Vermilion Bird sighed in his heart.

He feared that this sister-in-law wouldn’t be the only one in the future, because Ling Beiming was too outstanding—he was a legend. And it seemed that this current sister-in-law didn’t know anything about her own husband!

Xiao Chubing pursed her lips, making up her mind that she must take Vermilion Bird out for a meal alone!

"Xiao Bing, are you free this afternoon?" Ling Fan inquired.

"Hmm, what’s up?"

"If you’re free, come with me in the afternoon to an auction," Ling Fan said.

Xiao Chubing quickly nodded, "I’m free!"

Right now, she couldn’t wait to stick to Ling Fan to see how many secrets he had; even if she wasn’t free, she would make time.

"Okay then, it’s settled. Let’s go after we finish eating," Ling Fan nodded.

...

In Binzhou, at a top-tier private club.

"Get lost, get lost! I’m in a bad mood," Xu Sicong shoved away the sexy woman clinging to him.

"Young Master Xu, what’s got you so fired up? Let Xiao Man ease your temper later!" A man across from him chuckled, glancing at the woman who was pushed away.

"Not in the mood!" Xu Sicong downed the red wine in his glass and sat there brooding.

"Look, brother, you rush me over here in such a hurry, you don’t say anything, and you do nothing. I can’t even help you de-stress," the man said.

There were three men in the room, aside from Xu Sicong. The one who just spoke was Feng Qiang, a scion of the Feng Family, while the other was Zhang Xu who was currently enjoying the company of a woman on each arm.

Xu Sicong took a deep breath, "Brother Feng, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you. Even if I did, you couldn’t help. It would just make things worse."

"Oh? Who did you piss off? In Binzhou, there’s someone even I, Feng Qiang, can’t handle?" Feng Qiang got interested.

Xu Sicong took a gulp of wine, "You should know, I’ve been pursuing Xiao Chubing recently."

"Haha, so you’ve been given the cold shoulder!" Feng Qiang chuckled knowingly as he was aware of the situation.

"Bullshit, that bitch has hooked up with some Young Master Ling, who seems to have quite the background. I nearly had an accident because of it. Even Zhou Zhenxiong is scared to death of him," Xu Sicong said frustratedly.

"Young Master Ling? Xiao Chubing’s loser husband?" Feng Qiang looked at Zhang Xu meaningfully.

"A loser? I think he’s far from being a loser. Why don’t you try it?" Xu Sicong, feeling belittled by Feng Qiang, was very displeased.

Feng Qiang quickly explained, "Heh, I thought it was someone else. Don’t rush, this guy probably knows more than you!"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Xu Sicong sat up straight, looking at Zhang Xu.

After leaving Ling Fan the night before, Zhang Xu had been seething with anger.

Knowing that Ling Fan was out of chances made him let go of his concerns, seeing the opportunity for revenge.

He had tossed and turned all night, and early this morning, he went to find Feng Qiang.

He knew that Ling Fan was currently at odds with the Li and Feng Families, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend. That’s what brought about the current gathering.

"Xiao Chubing is my wife’s cousin, and the Ling Fan that Young Master Xu mentioned is indeed Xiao Chubing’s loser husband, but..." Zhang Xu recounted the secret he heard last night before leaving, without leaving anything out.

"Fuck, so he’s just a paper tiger! I knew it, how could that famous loser suddenly become so tough?" Xu Sicong slapped his thigh forcefully.

"Not frustrated anymore, Young Master Xu? Let me tell you some news, that kid won’t live long. He offended my Feng Family and even declared he would wipe out my Feng Family!" Feng Qiang sneered.

"Haha, damn it, I must take back what I lost. Brother Feng, before you kill him, let me have my fun and see how I play with this idiot!" Xu Sicong suddenly saw the light.

Feng Qiang checked the time, "There’s an auction this afternoon that I need to attend. Young Master Xu, interested in joining for a look?"

"Haha, there’s plenty of time. I’ll have a chat with Xiao Man first..." Xu Sicong, in great spirits, pulled the woman he had pushed away earlier and headed to the room inside.

A cold light flickered in Zhang Xu’s eyes, and he sneered inwardly, "Ling Fan, oh Ling Fan, you just can’t keep playing it safe as a loser. You had to brag and make enemies everywhere. I want to see how you die this time!"Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
