A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 586 Dad...Dad?

Lei San nodded. "That's right, cancel everything for me. Also, prepare three cars and send them for servicing. Make sure that nothing goes wrong with them on 1 st January!" "This..." The secretary's face paled before she trembled and asked Lei San, "Mr Lei... are you...are you going to gather all your belongings and make a run for it?"

"Mr Lei, you must reconsider. Mr Chu is now king over all of Jiangdong, so I don't think you'd get away," his secretary advised him in fear.

The secretary knew all about how Lei San's son had offended Mr Chu several times.

Now that Lei San was suddenly cancelling all his plans and sending several cars for servicing, she couldn't help but suspect that Lei San was afraid that Mr Chu would punish him, so he was going to make a run for it.

"Make a run for it? What nonsense are you talking about?!" Lei San was so shocked by these words that he burst out laughing.

He didn't expect his secretary to think this way.

"Mr Chu is the one who wants to gather all the rich and powerful of Jiangdong at Haiyuan Restaurant for the Feast of the Sea and Sky on 1 st January. Which is more important? Those random other meetings or turning up at the dinner organized by Mr Chu?"

The secretary suddenly understood what was going on.

After apologizing profusely, she quickly went to get everything prepared.

Not only was Jianghai and Jingzhou getting ready for this, Wang Jie-Xi in Haozhou and all the other big shots in Nanquan, Fenghai and other cities were getting prepared.

This invitation card from Ye Fan had really stirred up the previously calm Jiangdong.

Mu-Cheng, have you heard about it? Mr

Chu has invited all the rich and powerful of Jiangdong to Haiyuan Restaurant on 1 st January! All the big shots will be here! Yunzhou's own Li Er, Lei San from Jingzhou, Wang Jie-Xi from Haozhou, Chen Ao from Jianghai and other bigwigs will all be here. That's the power of my idol, Mr Chu! One invitation card is all it takes to gather all these people in Yunzhou!"

"I didn't get to see Mr Chu at the Midautumn Festival Night Auction the last time, so this time, I'm going to replace a way to get in no matter what it takes. Mu-Cheng, just you wait. Once I get to see Mr Chu, I'm going to use my beauty and charm to make sure Mr Chu falls head over heels with me!"

Information about the Feast of the Sea and Sky had already spread through the high society circles of Jiangdong.

Su Qian's father was considered an important person in the corporate circles of Yunzhou, so Su Qian found out all about this from her father.

And so first thing in the morning, she came to tell Qiu Mu-Cheng all about it with great excitement.

Qiu Mu-Cheng just smiled helplessly. "Qianqian, good luck, go for it."

"Oh my god, Mu-Cheng, what attitude is this?! I'm not the only who needs to go for it! You have to go for it too! We'll go together to see Mr Chu! What if Mr Chu falls for you?" Su Qian started trying to goad Qiu Mu-Cheng into going along with her.

Qiu Mu-Cheng laughed quietly. "Mr Chu is such a dignified and respected man who is way up there, while I'm just an ordinary citizen of a small city. Why would he fall for me? Besides, I already have Ye Fan, so I'm not interested in such things anymore."

Qiu Mu-Cheng was clearly not interested.

She knew herself well.

She and Mr Chu were as far apart as the sky from the ground, so Qiu Mu-Cheng never held onto such unrealistic hopes.

Besides, it was good enough to have Ye Fan with her.

He hadn't accomplished much, but his devotion to her was real.

Qiu Mu-Cheng was very content with that.

"Mu-Cheng, why are you like this? I admit, Ye Fan is not bad, but I still don't think he's worthy of you. Or at least he still has quite a large gap to make up for now. A man should rely on his own capabilities to protect his wife. That's what I call a capable man. Someone who relies on his connections, favors from others and luck might have a few moments of glory, but it won't last long."

"Don't worry, I'm not going to try persuading you to divorce Ye Fan anymore. But I'd advise you to talk to Ye Fan into getting a proper job. It's better to be more practical about life after all," said Su Qian to Qiu Mu-Cheng.

Clearly, Su Qian felt that Ye Fan had achieved all these things either by sheer luck, or the connections he had.

She didn't think Ye Fan himself was capable at all.

Qiu Mu-Cheng nodded. "Thanks, Qianqian, I will consider your suggestion."

"Don't consider anymore, just tell him to work here. Then he won't end up just doing nothing around the house and become a bum." Su Qian was the type who acted quickly.

After she finished saying these things to Qiu Mu-Cheng, she called Ye Fan over to the office.

Su Qian was now the director of HR in Mufan Real Estate and was in charge of hiring.

Ye Fan soon arrived at Qiu Mu-Cheng's office.

"Wifey, were you looking for me?" Ye Fan was panting and sounded clearly anxious.

"Shush! You are not to call her 'wifey' in the office and you must call her Miss Qiu, do you understand? That's company policy!" said Su Qian loudly to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan rolled his eyes at her. "Su Qian, this is outside of your scope, isn't it? Mu-Cheng and I are lawfully wedded and there's nothing wrong with me calling her 'wifey'. Besides, I'm not a company employee, so why should I call her Miss Qiu?"

"Well, now you are," replied Su Qian calmly.

She flicked her wrist and flung Ye Fan's work pass onto the table with flourish.

"Listen up. From today onwards, you will be Mu-Cheng and my personal bodyguard. Besides ensuring our safety, you will also be in charge of company security."

"Probation will last three months and you will get $5,000 during this time. Your salary will double after you're confirmed." Su Qian spoke as if this was cast in stone and there was no room for negotiation. Ye Fan's face immediately fell and turned Su Qian down on the spot.

The Feast of the Sea and Sky was happening in seven days, and he would be leaving the city after that. There was no way he could be their personal bodyguard or anything like that. "You...! You're biting the hand that feeds you!" Su Qian was furious.

She had been kind enough to arrange for a job for Ye Fan and was prepared to even double his salary after he was confirmed. That kind of treatment was only reserved for elites, so very few people in Yunzhou would enjoy this sort of privilege.

But instead of being grateful, Ye Fan actually turned her down?

"Ye Fan, Qianqian is doing this with good intentions. She's not pulling a fast one on you. You don't have anything to do at home anyway, so why don't you take the job? Besides, you're being a bodyguard for your wife, so I won't treat you badly," chimed in Qiu Mu-Cheng.

But Ye Fan still refused the offer.

"Mu-Cheng, it's not that I'm being ungrateful or anything, but..."

"But what? I think you're just used to lazing around and you don't want to work," spat Su Qian angrily.

"But...the salary is a little low. That's right, this salary is too low. $10,000 a month isn't even enough to maintain the car." Ye Fan simply found some excuse to get them off his back.

He didn't want Qiu Mu-Cheng to know about his feud with the Chu family.

Talking about it didn't help matters anyway. It would only make one more person worry.

"Good god, you replace $10,000 a month too little?" Su Qian's eyes were going to pop out from her head.

"You're just a country bumpkin! Only Mu-Cheng and I would offer you a salary like that. You can enquire at other companies and check. Unless you run into an idiot, I guarantee you, nobody will offer you anything more than $3,000."

"Does Mr Ye Fan work here?" Just when Su Qian was angrily yelling away at Ye Fan, the door of the office was pushed open and a middle aged man walked in.

"Dad?" Su Qian was shocked and exclaimed immediately.
