A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 404 How...How Could This Be?

Every guest in Yulong Hotel rushed out to greet Wu Wei-Tao after hearing that he had come too.

All of them humbled themselves and were so reverent and polite when faced with people like Wu Wei-Tao and Wang Dong-Lai.

These entrepreneurs were usually high and mighty bosses who threw their weight around the company, but they behaved as lowly as possible in front of Wu Wei-Tao.

All the onlookers were filled with envy and amazement.

What did it mean to have power and status?

This was what it meant!

They didn't need to say or do anything, and just their name alone would make everyone trip over themselves to come and greet them. The entire group of rich men and women ran over to greet them. Without any complaints, everyone was filled with sincere respect and reverence for Wu Wei-Tao!

After all, besides Li Er from the Li family, nobody else in the whole city of Yunzhou could command such respect and authority!

"This is how a man shout be like!" A young man in the crowd felt his eyes burning with motivation as he encouraged himself to become like that one day.

While the guests of the Qiu family was busy greeting Wu Wei-Tao, Old Master Qiu had emerged from the hotel with a bright smile on his face and enjoying the moment.

"Move aside, move aside! Old Master Qiu is here, so all of you, move aside! You can't afford to bear the consequences if Old Master Qiu doesn't get to see Mayor Wu!"

Qiu Guang's wife was helping to support Old Master Qiu as she started yelling at all the guests blocking their way and pushed them aside.

Soon enough, Old Master Qiu and his little entourage reached Wu Wei-Tao.

"Ohoho, I never thought that Mayor Wu would come personally to congratulate the Qius on our ribbon cutting ceremony. It is really my honor to welcome you. Come, Mayor Wu, don't just stand about here. Follow me back to the hotel. My family definitely has to give you a toast. I'm so grateful for your presence, Mayor Wu. Why don't we take a photo to remember this moment?"

Qiu Zheng-Lun had already gone up to pull at Wu Wei-Tao's arm as he hurried Qiu Guang to quickly take a photo for them. It would look so good on him once that photo was developed and hung up in the old Qiu family house.

Old Master Qiu had also noticed that Wu Wei-Tao was carrying a present, and he became even more excited.

"Oho! Mayor Wu, you're too kind. I'm already grateful enough for your presence, but you even brought a gift? But since it's a kind thought from you, then I will accept

it."

Old Master Qiu laughed gleefully as he tried to take the present from Wu Wei-Tao even though Wu Wei-Tao didn't say anything about giving it to him.

"How rude! What are you trying to do? Where did this old man come from? How dare you try to snatch something away from Mayor Wu?" Before Wu Wei-Tao could speak, his assistant noticed what was happening and started shouting as he pushed Old Master Qiu aside.

If the other Qiu family members weren't around to catch him, the old man would probably have been shoved to the ground.

Old Master Qiu was confused now.

This push from Wu Wei-Tao's assistant felt like a slap on the old man's face.

The old man's face became as red as a pork knuckle and he looked questioningly at Wu Wei-Tao. "Mayor Wu, what do you mean by this?"

But nobody cared about what the old man was saying.

After the assistant pushed Old Master Qiu aside, Wu Wei-Tao turned to head for Mufan Real Estate with a stern expression on his face.

"Dad, I was in the wrong, don't..."

When Wu Yong saw his father approaching, he thought that his father was here to punish him for what he did. So his heart was filled with fear as he bowed and apologized profusely.

But a completely unexpected thing happened after that.

Wu Wei-Tao seemed to have not seen his own son and pushed Wu Yong aside as well.

Wu Yong was really confused. What was his dad doing? Why did his dad push him?

But later, Wu Yong would realize that it would only be the start of his confusion.

Wu Wei-Tao walked over to the tables after pushing his son aside.

Everyone watched with their eyes bulging as the mayor of the city, a man who had control over a million citizens, actually bowed at the waist and used the most respectful and reverent voice to greet a slim young man in front of him, "I, Wu Wei-Tao, would like to greet you on behalf of the city of Yunzhou!"

"I hereby present a pair of congratulatory couplets. I would like to congratulate Mufan Real Estate on its opening and I hope that business will continue to grow and prosper!"

The autumn wind blew and leaves fell from the trees.

Wu Wei-Tao's voice was low as he gave offered his congratulations, but it resounded loudly.

After Wu Wei-Tao finished his speech, the rest of the men who came with him also went up to greet that handsome slim young man equally respectfully.

"We congratulate Mufan Real Estate on its official opening..."

"I, Han Dong-Min..."

"I, Wang Dong-Lai..."

"I, Dong Pei-Ming..."

"We hope that Mufan Real Estate will prosper for many years to come!"

"We hope that this company will continue to grow!"

"May Mufan Real Estate's name spread through the nation!"

The rising voices sounded like huge waves echoing in the hall.

Those reverent voices and polite words had become like a river rushing through the entire place.

"This..." "This..."

Everyone witnessing this scene were stunned.

The whole hall was silent.

You could even hear a pin drop.

On the wind blowing, the fallen leaves rustling, and Wu Wei-Tao and the others' voices continued to echo.

In an instant, Qiu Mu-Ying, Wang Qiao-Yu and her family were stunned.

Old Master Qiu's eyes and mouth were open wide and his body shook violently. His eyes were nearly falling out of his head,

"How...how could this be? Why...why is it him?!" Old Master Qiu's face paled and his mind went blank.

Before this, Old Master Qiu thought that Wu Wei-Tao was here to congratulate the Qius, just like his son did.

But he never thought that the person all these big shots were greeting would turn out to be Ye Fan! That useless bum!

And they were congratulating Mufan Real Estate!

The company opened by Qiu Mu-Cheng, the daughter he threw out!

But how could any of this be possible?

Nobody could understand the shock that Old Master Qiu was feeling.

The rest of the Qiu family was watching on with bulging red eyes as they stared at this scene unfold before them.

Even the people in Mufan Real Estate were shocked by what they just saw.

Han Li and Qiu Lei's mouths were open and they almost forgot to breathe.

Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes were filled with horror and disbelief.

The other staff of Mufan Real Estate looked like they had seen a ghost. Their bodies trembled and they couldn't stop gasping.

The only one who remained calm in this entire place was probably the one right in the center of attention, Ye Fan.

He looked at the men who greeted him with no expression on his face and didn't say anything for a long time.

Instead, he calmly picked up a teapot and filled a cup for himself.

He quietly took a sip before replying...
