A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 377 Everyone Comes From Near and Far to...

There was only one day left before the opening ceremony took place.

Although it was intended to be a happy occasion, none of Mufan Real Estate's employees were able to replace any joy.

The events that unfolded at the dinner last night had gone onto the news.

There were even related photos from the Entrepreneurs' Dinner floating around online.

Their heading read, "A disgrace to the industry! Mufan Real Estate's CEO impersonated a big shot and wormed her way into the Entrepreneurs' Dinner."

Very quickly, Mufan Real Estate became the center of attraction and suffered scorn and doubt from everyone in the business world.

Even the small businesses which had agreed to attend the opening ceremony backed out one after another.

In just a night, Mufan Real Estate became deserted and boycotted by everyone in the business world.

As Mufan Real Estate's CEO, Qiu Mu-Cheng undoubtedly became a disgrace to the Yunzhou entrepreneurs.

"They are just an unknown company. How dare they pretend that they were from a big group?"

"It was absolutely shameless of them."

"I heard that their CEO is a hypocrite too."

"And married to a useless man."

"How can someone as dishonest as her start a company?"

"Screw them!"

"None of us will go to their opening ceremony tomorrow." "Just let them suffer the embarrassment." In Yunzhou's business circles, many people were filled with disdain whenever Mufan Real Estate was brought up.

They now treated Mufan Real Estate as a disgrace among the Yunzhou entrepreneur circles. All the CEOS banded together to boycott Mufan Real Estate.

Everyone in Mufan Real Estate naturally panicked under the circumstances. A gloomy haze hovered over this new startup, which was barely a few months old.

The most important thing to a business was reputation.

Now that Mufan Real Estate had lost all reputation, many of the employees felt that Mufan Real Estate would close soon.

Many of them already started looking for a backup plan and secretly got in touch with other companies.

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't head to work today. She was suffering from a slight cold from being out in the rain last night. Ye Fan insisted that she rested at home for a day, so Qiu Mu-Cheng obliged. Although the opening ceremony was taking place the next day, Qiu Mu-Cheng had already finished all preparations by doing a lot of overtime previously. Even if she didn't turn up at the office today, it didn't have any negative impact.

Even if something happened, Qiu Mu-Cheng could work from home and get in touch via phone.

"Mu-Cheng, have some fruit. Stop tiring yourself and just treat it as a day off," said Ye Fan as he came into the room and placed a plate of fruit in front of Qiu Mu-Cheng.

But Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head. She was in low spirits.

Her assistant, Du Juan, called moments ago to tell her that seven employees have already sent their resignation letters to HR.

Was this what a startup company looked like?

They appeared as though they were on the brink of bankruptcy before they had even opened.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's determination undoubtedly faltered at the thought of this.

She raised her pretty face and looked at Ye Fan as she said, "Ye Fan, do you think I should persevere with Mufan Real Estate? The opening ceremony is tomorrow, but a quarter of my employees tendered their resignations today. Mufan Real Estate has probably become a complete joke to everyone in the Yunzhou business circles."

Qiu Mu-Cheng was completely disappointed.

In the beginning, she was high spirited about being the CEO and did her utmost to succeed.

But after experiencing so many things, Qiu Mu-Cheng finally realized how challenging it was to succeed and manage a business well.

'Also, Mufan Real Estate's reputation was utterly destroyed yesterday. Even if we proceed with the opening ceremony tomorrow, I don't think anyone wants to work with a company with no integrity."

Qiu Mu-Cheng shook her head and sighed. Su Qian took matters into her own hands last night, and it was never Qiu Mu-Cheng's intention to begin with.

But none of that mattered. The important thing was that she and Mufan Real Estate were already nailed on the pillar as an embarrassment to Yunzhou's business circles.

Qiu Mu-Cheng reckoned that not a single soul would turn up for their opening ceremony tomorrow.

"Ye Fan, do you still think it's necessary for Mufan Real Estate to go ahead with its opening ceremony?" asked Qiu Mu-Cheng

She had to accept the truth. Blind pursuit often led to serious self-injury.

"Of course, you have to go on! Why don't you want to have an opening ceremony?

Mu-Cheng, you worked so hard all this time. Can you take it lying down if you give up now?" said Ye Fan resolutely and decisively.

"But our company image is already..."

"Mu-Cheng, just ignore what other people think. Things will change in time. Then everyone will know that Mufan Real Estate is an honest company and that you, Qiu Mu-Cheng, is a trustworthy person. Mu- Cheng, if you trust me, just proceed with the opening ceremony tomorrow!" said Ye Fan deeply as his words fell to the ground resoundingly like gold bars.

Ye Fan's voice seemed bewitching. Although Qiu Mu-Cheng had swayed initially, she felt an inexplicable strength surging through her now.

She looked at Ye Fan and smiled as she replied, "Okay, Ye Fan, I trust you."

"Trust my foot!"

Then a furious voice came from behind the moment Qiu Mu-Cheng finished her words.

Han Li and Qiu Lei came in from outside with their faces livid.

They had clearly learned about what happened to Mufan Real Estate online.

"Mu-Cheng, you were so foolish! How could you do something as stupid as that last night? You are all over the news, and there are reports about your company splashed everywhere on the internet! Your company is as good as ruined! It's completely dead meat! It's a complete goner! Listen, you should quit right away. I will replace you a good marriage partner, so you can just live off your husband. Then we don't have to work so hard and suffer such humiliation," Han Li persuaded Qiu Mu-Cheng.

"Mum, don't get yourself involved. I will handle it."

"What? Are you going to buy that good-for-nothing's nonsense and still go ahead with the opening ceremony?" said Han Li anxiously as she glared the moment she caught the impatience in Qiu Mu-Cheng's tone.

"This good-for-nothing is a dumbass! Why are you taking his advice? Your company's reputation is destroyed. How can you proceed with the opening ceremony under such circumstances? Which idiot would still come? Those Qius are heartless and just waiting for us to make a joke of ourselves. If you go ahead with the opening ceremony, you're asking to be insulted! Are you offering your face to be slapped? We can't take this embarrassment!" cursed Han Li.

Qiu Mu-Cheng had really started to lose her patience, so she said, "Mum, I get it. Why don't you leave? I want to rest."

Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't want to listen to her parents' nagging, so she pushed them out of the room.

Ye Fan took the initiative to leave as he didn't want to disturb Qiu Mu-Cheng's rest either.

Ye Fan picked up a phone call when he got to the study.

"Young Master, do you want me to inform

them personally?" asked an old man in a deep voice through the phone.

Ye Fan shook his head and smiled. "It's fine, Han. Since someone helped to get us on the news, they have probably seen it too."

"That's true. In that case, allow me to wish both Young Master and Young Madam all the best for tomorrow. I hope everyone comes from near and far to congratulate you," said Han as his deferential laughter gradually came through the phone.

Ye Fan smiled in silence. Then he picked up the strong tea on the table and tilted his head back to finish it in one gulp.

There was a light breeze outside the window, and the weather was perfect.
