A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 654 Do You Believe Now?

"Oh my god!"

"Even the committee secretary has come bearing a gift?"

"My goodness."

"Mr Chu is really going places!"

Everyone went into a frenzy when this man arrived.

Before this, no matter how amazing Mr Chu was, he was only reputable in the corporate world.

But now someone from the government was here. What did that mean?

It meant that the government acknowledged that Ye Fan was truly the king of Jiangdong.

But while everyone else was in shock, Fan Zhong-Xian didn't agree with them.

"Tsk, what's he so gleeful about? Maybe he's sent a nice white cloth here so that you can hang yourself with it! As the saying goes, it's impossible for the same mountain to have two tigers. I wouldn't think the Provincial Committee Secretary of Jiangdong would allow you to become powerful as the leader of Jiangdong," scoffed Fan Zhong-Xian.

He wasn't the only one who thought that way.

Many others were also doubting He Lan-Shan's sincerity.

After all, since he had come uninvited, was he really here to wish Mr Chu well?

But the present would prove whether he was for Mr Chu or not.

Everyone was still undecided when one of the waitresses from outside came in with a bottle of hard liquor.

"Mr Chu, the Provincial Committee Secretary of Jiangdong, He Lan-Shan would like to specially present this bottle of Jiangdong Supreme to you! He wishes Mr Chu a happy new year and hopes that the Feast of the Sea and Sky will go

smoothly!"

This waitress' message from the secretary was like a huge rock falling into the ocean, causing another uproar among the guests.

"Jiangdong...Jiangdong Supreme? So the secretary is recognizing him as the leader?" Fan Zhong-Xian was stunned.

Everyone else was equally shaken.

All the suspicions they had earlier disappeared.

He Lan-Shan had sent a bottle of Jiangdong Supreme. What did that mean?

It meant that he was officially recognizing Ye Fan as the king of Jiangdong's corporate world, the supreme one!

"Sure, I'll accept this bottle of wine. Please help me to thank Secretary He," replied Ye Fan calmly as he stood on the high stage proudly.

He waved his hand and some staff quickly brought the wine over.

"Nannan, come over and pour a glass for me," said Ye Fan as he turned to look at Chen Nan who was standing away from the crowd. Since she was specifically called out by Mr Chu, Chen Nan instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"Sure, I'll do that, Fan."

Chen Nan was full of smiles and looked absolutely surprised by this display of affection.

She hopped over like a little sparrow as she elegantly made her way up the stage, smiled as she took the bottle of wine and filled a glass for Ye Fan.

Li Er, Lei San and the rest were green-eyed when they saw this.

They started cursing at how cunning Chen Ao was. Now they knew why he wasn't bothered about sending his daughter to give Mr Chu a toast. So he had already sent his daughter over to him earlier. When he saw how close Chen Nan was to Ye Fan and then back at his stupid son, Li Er was so angry he nearly puked blood.

If he had known this would happen, he should have had a daughter back then.

"Alright now, everyone, I will not say anymore. Everything I want to express will be represented by this glass of wine. I would like to thank everyone for coming all the way here to show your support. This glass is a toast to everyone!" his low voice resonated through the entire hall.

Ye Fan took the glass of wine with Chen Nan holding the bottle and accompanied him to give a toast to every table.

All the rich and powerful were filled with great terror as Ye Fan approached their tables.

They all trembled in awe as they quickly got up to return the toast.

Even though they were normally powerful and unafraid, none of them dared to throw their weight about in front of Ye Fan.

All of them humbled themselves and bowed low like they were lowly followers.

"Mr Chu, here's a toast to you!"

"The Liu family of Yunzhou is willing to follow Mr Chu's lead!"

All the rich and powerful heads of various families stood up to return the toast to Ye Fan.

There was only one older lady who looked down and tried to hide herself in a corner as if she was afraid that Ye Fan would discover her.

"Old Mrs Su, don't just sit there. Mr Chu has arrived at our table, so aren't you giving him a toast?" someone at the same table smiled and informed her.

Gosh!

This was as good as killing her.

Old Mrs Su turned livid on the spot.

She nearly strangled this big-mouthed

person.

The person she was most embarrassed to see now was Ye Fan.

She was hoping to just keep her head down and pretend that she didn't see her, but now someone had actually asked her specifically to give a toast. That was like putting her on a rotisserie rack for roasting.

Would she dare to refuse?

She had already offended Ye Fan once, so if she didn't toast him now, that would be a sign of disrespect to Mr Chu.

She had no choice but to pull herself along as she held up her wine glass and gave a toast to Ye Fan.

"Mr...Mr Chu, th-this glass of wine...I would like to give you a toast," said Old Mrs Su with a forced smile as her voice trembled along with her hands.

"No need. The Su family is a very high and mighty family, so I really couldn't possibly be worthy of your toast. Jiangdong isn't worthy either," said Ye Fan coldly. His words clanged loudly like gold and rocks falling to the floor.

Old Mrs Su was instantly in shock as she froze on the spot and felt terror overwhelm her heart.

She wasn't stupid. She could tell the anger in Ye Fan's words.

Especially that last sentence.

The Su family was too high and mighty for Jiangdong to be worthy of their existence?

That was telling her that the Su family couldn't stay in Jiangdong anymore.

That was essentially sentencing the Su family to death.

"Mr...Mr Chu..." Old Mrs Su tried to speak but Ye Fan had already moved on.

All she saw was his cold and resolute back view.

In despair, Old Mrs Su collapsed onto her chair and then fell with a loud thud onto the floor along with the chair.

"Old Mrs Su, Old Mrs Sul!"

It was a mess behind him.

But Ye Fan kept walking on as if he hadn't heard any of the commotion.

He walked on expressionlessly with the glass of wine in his hand as he finally came to Qiu Mu-Cheng and Su Qian's table.

Su Qian's face was pale, Qiu Mu-Cheng's eyes were red and Fan Zhong-Xian was terrified.

After replaceing out who Ye Fan really was, Su Qian and Qiu Mu-Cheng hadn't said a single word.

They didn't know what to say.

They remained where they were as they just watched that skinny figure slowly walk towards them.

Chen Nan refilled Ye Fan's glass.

Ye Fan held the glass in his hand and stood proudly.

His clean and cold face looked down at Su Qian, Qiu Mu-Cheng, Fan Zhong-Xian and everyone else at the table.

"Mu-Cheng, I told you before that I am Mr Chu but you didn't believe me. Do you believe me now?"

Ye Fan stood proudly before her with a cold smile in his eyes.
