A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 309 Blessing in Disguise

Before this, Wang Xing-Duo thought that Ye Fan was just a pauper from the countryside and a useless live-in son-in-law whose only achievement was probably in the world of brush paintings and calligraphy. So Wang Xing-Duo never had any regard for Ye Fan at all.

After all, how impressive could a live-in son-in-law from the countryside be?

Wasn't it easy to deal with him like a fish fillet on a chopping board?

So Wang Xing-Duo had come here to exact revenge on Ye Fan by sealing off Mufan Real Estate!

But Wang Xing-Duo would never have dreamt that this skinny man who was looked down by everybody was actually connected to Han Dong-Min.

And judging from how reverent Han Dong-Min was towards Ye Fan, it was clear that Ye Fan was a big shot!

Wang Xing-Duo immediately felt despair when he realized that he had offended a big shot like this.

He was filled with great misery and his heart was filled with nothing but regret.

If he had known that this was going to happen, he would never have picked on Mufan Real Estate and he would never have provoked Ye Fan. When he thought about it, he was suddenly filled with great hatred for Qiu Mu-Ying and her family.

If not for those idiots from the Qius, he wouldn't have offended Mufan Real Estate.

If not for that stupid Qiu Mu-Ying and Chu Wen-Fei, he wouldn't have offended Ye Fan either.

Wang Xing-Duo was angry enough to kill off everyone in that family now.

"The Qius have brought harm on me, the Qius have brought harm upon me..."

Wang Xing-Duo remained in the lobby with a heart full of despair. He looked up as his tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably.

But so what if he felt regret and hatred now?

There was medicine for everything in the world, but there was no cure for regret.

He had landed in his predicament today because he deserved it!

After Wang Xing-Duo was arrested, Han Dong-Min immediately got someone else to evaluate Mufan Real Estate and if there were no problems, they were to be approved without further delay. Sometimes bad things were blessings in disguise, and sometimes good things were a sign of bad things to come.

Everyone thought that Mufan Real Estate was in deep trouble today.

And just minutes ago, Qiu Mu-Cheng had already lost all hope.

She wasn't the only one. All the employees had thought that Mufan Real Estate was definitely going to fold and many of them already started thinking about what they were going to do next.

But nobody expected that things would suddenly turn around at the last minute. Mufan Real Estate had not only survived this crisis, they had also finally moved on with their application after Wang Xing-Duo had prevented their approval for months.

And because Han Dong-Min had said the word, the approval came through very quickly.

The very next day, a representative from the Industry and Commerce Bureau came to deliver the certificate to Mufan Real Estate and also formally apologized to Qiu Mu-Cheng for what Wang Xing-Duo had done in the past.

So just like that, Qiu Mu-Cheng finally resolved the problem that had troubled her for so long.

Qiu Mu-Cheng and her staff all knew that their company had been saved because of Ye Fan.

"Miss Qiu, you've married a great husband!"

"You've found such a wonderful life companion!"

"I'm so envious!"

"If my husband was as capable as yours, I would smile in my dreams every day."

"If we knew that your husband knew Mayor Han, we should have asked Mr Ye for help."

"Then we wouldn't have to wait nearly two months to get the approval."

"HAHA indeed!"

"But now that we've gotten all the necessary paperwork done, Mufan Real Estate can finally open for business officially!"

Miss Qiu, can we confirm the details of the opening ceremony now?"

"We'd better hurry and send the invitations out."

The entire company was now filled with a motivated and energetic atmosphere.

The dark clouds above everyone had now disappeared.

It was as if the clouds had parted to reveal sunny skies.

Even Qiu Mu-Cheng had a rare smile on her beautiful face.

The thing that she had been worried about for so long was finally resolved.

And now that all her colleagues were praising her for replaceing a good husband, nobody knew how sweet and blissful Qiu Mu-Cheng felt inside.

Any woman would feel the most blessed when she heard others praise her man.

But even though she felt really sweet inside, she also had a lot of unanswered questions.

How were Ye Fan and Han Dong-Min related?

Why did Han Dong-Min bring so many people to Mufan Real Estate to look for Ye Fan? And why were they so respectful towards him?

Could it be that her husband was really incredible but nobody knew about it?

Qiu Mu-Cheng immediately shook her head at this thought. She could only make guesses now, so it was better to question Ye Fan in person later at night.

As for Ye Fan, after what happened the day before, he could see that Han Dong-Min was sincere in his apology, so he didn't hold it against Han Dong-Min and forgave him for what happened at Han Dong- Min's residence.

Ye Fan also helped Han Dong-Min to purchase some jadeites and got him out of his crisis.

After shopping around for an entire day, Han Dong-Min still didn't manage to discover any Yang jade or imperial jade even though Ye Fan had a good eye.

After all, good jade didn't always just fall from the sky.

Even if Ye Fan had sharp eyes, there was nothing he could do to make a rare jade appear in front of Han Dong-Min if the jadeites available weren't of high quality to begin with.

But they still had a good day nonetheless.

They didn't get any Yang jade, but they did get some pretty high grade glass and ice jade.

In just one day, Han Dong-Min had not just recouped all his previous losses, but he had also reached the target for the city's jade purchases.

At night, Han Dong-Min threw a banquet for Ye Fan to express his gratitude.

Haha, I must really thank you this time, Master Ye. If you hadn't helped me, then it wouldn't just be my position that would be in danger. I'm afraid that my good reputation would be ruined overnight as well" "From now on, you are my benefactor, and you have given me a new lease of life. No matter where or where, as long as you visit me, I will definitely make time for you and treat you as my most distinguished guest!" Han Dong-Min thanked Ye Fan profusely at the dinner table.

He had been worried about this for so long, and his problems had been solved by Ye Fan today.

So Han Dong-Min was very excited and drank down three glasses of strong wine even though he normally didn't drink. His eyes were getting red from the alcohol.

Han Dong-Min was truly grateful to Ye Fan.

"Mayor Han, why thank me like this? You've helped my wife, so I should return the favor. I don't like owing others."

"Master Ye, you can't say such things. Your wife is doing business in accordance to the law and she meets all the requirements, so she should have gotten the approval in the first place. I didn't do anything and I was just making sure the office was running as it should. Your help to me today has been of real help. I will never forget this favor," Han Dong-Min continued to thank Ye Fan.

Ye Fan laughed faintly but didn't argue with Han Dong-Min. After eating some food, he got up to leave.

"Before leaving, I just want to remind Mayor Han of a few things. Next time, don't take a shortcut if you can. It's great if you succeed via a shortcut, but if you fail, then I'm afraid that you might not be able to bear the consequences."
