“Just who on earth is this Chen Han?”
“Yeah, I heard Chen Han went to see him at school during the day and called him ‘Young Master’. What’s his background?”
“Is it another story of a rich guy’s son pretending to be poor to catch others off guard? Is he about to show his true colors now?”
Seeing Chen Han donate 30 million under Zhao Yan's name, everyone started whispering.
“This is the highest single donation we’ve received tonight. On behalf of the children in the mountainous areas, I'd like to thank Mr. Zhao,” said Chen Hailong, the host of the charity banquet, sincerely.
Chen Hailong was the founder of the Hailong Group. In his fifties, he was a prominent figure in the Binhai business community.
He had set up a Binhai Charity Foundation and often held charity dinners to appeal for donations.
Upon hearing this, everyone else secretly scolded the old fox. What did he mean by wanting to treat Zhao Yan to a meal to thank him in person? Wasn’t it just an excuse to get connected with the other party?
After all, now everyone realized that Zhao Yan’s identity was definitely not simple. The more ordinary he looked on the surface, the deeper he had hidden his true identity.
To the point that none of them could even find out anything about his background.
In just a few short years, Chen Han had gone from an unknown nobody to the Chairman of the Hanjiang Group.
He must have had Zhao Yan's backing behind the scenes.
Otherwise, there was no way Chen Han could have developed so quickly and smoothly, as if he was cheating.
So now everyone wanted to get to know Zhao Yan.
And the only way was naturally through Chen Han.
After all, they didn't dare rashly disturb Zhao Yan, in case they annoyed him inadvertently.
Seeing Chen Hailong's smile, Zhao Yan chuckled: “No need for a meal. For Young Master Zhao, this is just some pocket money he donated on a whim to help as much as he could. Besides, he doesn't like to be disturbed.”
He just wanted to show off, without taking on any responsibilities.
That’s right, he was a scumbag. Not only did he deceive women emotionally, now he deceived men too.
But that’s what’s called gender equality!
Everyone secretly scolded Chen Han for being shameless. In their eyes, he was obviously deliberately preventing them from contacting Zhao Yan because he was afraid of them competing for Zhao Yan’s favor.
They were departing further and further from enlightenment.
“Alright then, we’ll talk another time if there’s a chance.” Chen Hailong smiled slightly and raised his glass towards Chen Han.
Liu Hai sidled up with a bright, friendly smile on his face: “Chairman Chen, I think we can discuss that project again.”
“What’s there to discuss? Didn’t you already give it to Changhong Trading?” Zhao Yan spoke plainly, deliberately revealing a hint of disdain.
He didn't expect that just showing off a bit would give rise to a turning point with Binhai International.
It could be considered as repaying Chen Han.
After all, he had spent so much money on Chen Han.
Liu Hai laughed loudly: “Chairman Chen misunderstood. We haven’t signed a contract with Changhong yet. I thought about it and still feel that your Hanjiang is more trustworthy.”
“Heh, I won’t raise the price.” Zhao Yan knew he had to put on an act at this time.
Liu Hai pretended to be unhappy: “Chairman Chen, what you said shows that you look down on me, Old Liu! My Binhai International isn't lacking that 30 million either. 6 billion, you can have this project for your Hanjiang. Let’s sign the contract tomorrow!”
Saving 30 million was equivalent to earning 30 million. Zhao Yan felt that he should post on Douyin: Three sentences made a man spend 30 million on me❛‿˂̵✧
"Chairman Liu has reached an agreement with Changhong and they’re about to hold a contract signing ceremony. It wouldn’t be right for you to suddenly change your mind now, making Changhong prepare the ceremony for nothing, would it?" Zhao Yan frowned, pretending to care about Changhong Trading’s feelings.
Liu Hai was stunned: “What does Chairman Chen mean...”
Damn, why was he showing consideration for his opponent now? Chen Han shouldn’t be so soft-hearted in business!
Wasn’t the priority given to profits?
"What I mean is, we can’t let Changhong Trading prepare the signing ceremony for nothing. So let’s not reveal this news for now. We’ll just sign the contract at Binhai International’s original signing ceremony with Changhong Trading.” Zhao Yan smiled slightly.
Liu Hai gasped.
Damn, this was utterly heartless!
"What's wrong, Chairman Liu? Any difficulties?"
Seeing that he didn't respond, Zhao Yan asked with a smile.
Only then did Liu Hai react: “No, no problem. We’ll do as Chairman Chen suggested.”
As for Changhong Trading’s feelings...
Who the fuck cared!
"Happy cooperation!" Zhao Yan raised his glass.
Liu Hai said, "Happy cooperation!"
*Clink*
The crisp sound of the glasses clinking could be heard.
Xu Xue had been watching by the side the entire time, gazing at Zhao Yan with eyes full of worship and admiration. Chairman Chen was truly amazing.
Turning the situation around with just a few words...
If Chairman Chen was already so capable, then Zhao Yan who was backing him must be even more remarkable!
Xu Xue clenched her lips tightly, blushing as she softly said to Zhao Yan, "I'm going to the washroom for a bit.”
“Are you...having a fever?” Seeing Xu Xue’s bright red, burning hot little face, Zhao Yan was startled.
Xu Xue’s face turned an even deeper red as she replied in a delicate voice, “A little hot. I’m going to wipe off some sweat.”
“Alright, go on then.” Zhao Yan nodded.
It looked like she was sweating quite a lot.
“Chairman Chen, we haven’t seen each other for so long. We must chat properly tonight.”
“Chairman Chen, do you still remember me...”
"Uh, I don't even remember who your mom is."
Next, a steady stream of people came up to socialize with Zhao Yan, surrounding him like stars orbiting the moon.
In contrast to the high-spirited Zhao Yan, He Ming who had just been dealt with by him this morning was clearly not happy.
He was drowning his sorrows with his little brother-in-law Zhou Ping, the nominal major shareholder of Changhong Trading.
“Damn that bastard Chen Han! I’ll make him pay if he falls into my hands!” He Ming gnashed his teeth.
Zhou Ping persuaded: “Brother-in-law, I say, if you don’t want to be vice chairman, then don’t be. After all, you still get dividends every year from Hanjiang Group. Since you’ve been removed from your position, why don’t you just come be Chairman for Changhong instead?”
“I specifically invited Chen Han to attend the contract signing ceremony with Binhai International the day after tomorrow. Then you can go up on stage to represent Changhong Trading and sign with Binhai International. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Chen Han’s mind must be buzzing by then. Wouldn’t you have gotten back at him?”
He Ming's eyes gradually lit up as he imagined Chen Han's incredulous expression.
By that time, he could take the opportunity to humiliate Chen Han and restore his honor, feeling awesome!
“Good, let’s do that. Chen Han, just wait to embarrass yourself. Haha...”
...
With the morning came the rise of not just the sun, but Zhao Yan as well.
Xu Xue blearily opened her eyes.
“Wake up, time to get up for work.” Zhao Yan pinched Xu Xue’s cheeks.
Look, my proletarian brothers and sisters. This is the ugly face of the capitalist.
Making his secretary work overtime to handle private matters last night.
And now making his secretary work regular hours to handle business.
This is the exploitation typical of the evil capitalist!
“Mm.” Xu Xue mumbled hazily.
She had finally gotten what she wanted after pining for Chen Han for so long, even deliberately finding a man to get registered with, thinking he might swing that way like Emperor Wei.
Xu Xue admired the powerful. She fawned over the strong which was probably related to her having grown up on some island country.
It was ingrained in the islanders' nature to fawn over the powerful.
So in Zhao Yan’s eyes, Xu Xue was fine as an ordinary friend. He wouldn’t take her seriously.
Everyone gets what they need, win-win.
Besides, they were not that close emotionally.
Because this was Chen Han’s body after all.
Chen Han’s record was very mixed.
Fortunately, in the memories Zhao Yan had received, Chen Han seemed to have no wife or girlfriend. Otherwise, he would have really screwed things up for Chen Han this time.
After getting out of bed, the two went straight to the company.
“Help me make an appointment with Zhou Ping,” commanded Zhao Yan to Xu Xue while they were on their way to the company.
“Alright, Chairman Chen.”
