Chapter 775: Leader, We're Good Brothers
Chen Fan wasn't intentionally trying to make things difficult for them.
Rather, he was somewhat unhappy about these people coming to a memorial service to discuss investments with him.
The timing was wrong.
Today he came to bid farewell to his mentor, and here they were trying to discuss business with him. What was this about? What did they take Chen Fan for?
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Director Wang from the city government was losing face.
Director Huang quickly gave Huang Hu a look, hoping he would help say a few good words.
Huang Hu saw this and felt bitter inside.
He knew this was a rare opportunity, and if he could resolve this issue, he might be able to make a good impression in front of the leaders.
But the person involved happened to be Chen Fan.
However, this opportunity was too precious to pass up, so Huang Hu had to steel himself and try.
"Hehe, Chen Fan, I..."
Just as Huang Hu was about to speak, someone came out to announce that the final ceremony was about to begin.
So Chen Fan nodded to the leaders and went into the hall with his classmates.
Huang Hu stood there awkwardly, unsure whether to go in or leave.
Seeing the old leader's unhappy expression, Huang Hu quickly said,
"Director, that's just how Chen Fan is, he has a terrible temper. He was always causing trouble back in school!"
"Shut up!"
Director Wang suddenly scolded.
"Do you know who he is? He's now the richest man in Yunhai, a nationally renowned young entrepreneur."
"What? Chen Fan?"
Huang Hu thought he had misheard.
Chen Fan? The richest man in Yunhai?
Leader, are you sure it's him?
Director Wang and the others huddled together to discuss their strategy.
"The timing wasn't right today. We didn't expect his relationship with this teacher to be so close."
"Director Wang, if we had sent someone ahead first to invite him to visit the bureau, it would have been better," someone suggested.
Director Wang frowned.
"That wouldn't have been good either. Coming in person shows our sincerity."
"Everyone think about it, come up with a good idea."
Director Wang started giving orders directly.
"We can't lose this connection. We need to at least get a chance to meet and talk with him in detail."
"But he just said he's returning to Yunhai today."
At this point, Director Huang suddenly spoke up: "Director Wang, why don't we invite him to this year's entrepreneurs' symposium?"
Director Wang's eyes lit up.
"That's a good idea. Even if we don't meet this time, at least we can keep a bridge of communication open."
"He's originally from Luocheng, inviting him to attend his hometown's entrepreneur annual meeting, everyone sitting down to chat and communicate, it's a natural thing."
"Old Huang, you're both from Luocheng, this task is yours to handle."
Seeing his suggestion adopted, Director Huang was delighted and immediately responded.
"Yes."
"Xiao Huang, you're old classmates with Chen Fan, aren't you close? This task is assigned to you."
"You must get him to agree to attend this year's entrepreneurs' symposium."
"Ah?"
Huang Hu's eyes widened, immediately feeling nervous.
His relationship with Chen Fan wasn't that good at all.
But this was a task assigned by the leader, if he couldn't complete it, he would give the leader a bad impression of being "ineffective."
So Huang Hu could only reluctantly accept.
"Yes. Leaders, please rest assured. I'll definitely get Chen Fan to agree."
Director Wang cautioned anxiously: "Remember. You must explain it well to him. Also introduce the purpose of the entrepreneurs' symposium, and don't upset him at all costs."
Huang Hu nodded somewhat nervously.
"Yes. Director Wang, don't worry."
"Chen Fan and I have a great relationship. There shouldn't be any problem."
"That's good."
Director Wang patted Huang Hu's shoulder with satisfaction.
"Xiao Huang, right? Work hard. I'll wait for your good news."
Then he looked at the people beside him.
"Alright then. Let's not stay here, everyone head back first."
"Leaders, take care!"
Huang Hu followed them, bowing and nodding repeatedly. After finally seeing the leaders off, he immediately straightened up and pulled out his phone to make calls.
He needed to first figure out Chen Fan's current situation.
Not just Huang Hu, but all the classmates who attended today were secretly inquiring about Chen Fan's situation.
By lunchtime at the restaurant, the situation had changed dramatically.
At a table for 10, all the classmates, both male and female, were competing to sit with Chen Fan.
There was even a more exaggerated situation.
Several classmates who hadn't appeared at Teacher Wang's memorial service in the morning, upon receiving the news, rushed over immediately, telling Teacher Wang's wife that they couldn't get time off work in the morning, so they hurried over during their lunch break to pay their last respects to Teacher Wang.
Faced with this situation, everyone actually understood what was happening, but no one exposed it.
After all, everyone's thoughts were the same.
In just 5-6 years, an unremarkable boy from their class had suddenly become a big boss, and even a nationally famous group chairman.
As old classmates, who wouldn't want to seize this opportunity?
Unfortunately, after the classmates fought over seating for half the day, Chen Fan was pulled by Teacher Wang's wife to the main table next door, sitting with Teacher Wang's family.
Besides Chen Fan, Su Ruochu also went over.
This left Guo Shuai as the person who knew Chen Fan best among those remaining.
Faced with the old classmates' questions, Guo Shuai wasn't as low-key as Chen Fan.
He couldn't wait to broadcast all of Brother Fan's great achievements.
Let these classmates broaden their horizons properly.
Especially when they learned that by following Chen Fan, Guo Shuai had also become a company boss.
All the old classmates were extremely envious.
Many people started secretly calculating in their hearts, what kind of relationship did they have with Chen Fan back then? Were there any memorable incidents?
The table of girls regretted not making a move earlier when they were in school, now knowing how successful Chen Fan had become.
Seeming to watch the life of a wealthy lady slip away, several girls were sick with regret.
"Who would have thought Su Ruochu would be so lucky. She picked up a heaven-sent fortune for nothing."
"Well, they were desk mates back then."
"Why didn't Teacher Wang arrange for me to be Chen Fan's desk mate?"
"Stop dreaming, even if you were desk mates, Chen Fan would still have to like you."
"I don't think I'm much worse than Su Ruochu."
"I heard they've been dating for 5-6 years but aren't married yet."
"Hehe, why don't you try? Maybe you'll have a chance..."
While the girls were chattering, the men were more proactive, with many getting up to go toast Chen Fan at the main table.
Each one started by talking about how close they were with Chen Fan back in school.
Faced with this situation, Chen Fan wasn't angry, just smilingly dealing with it, accepting everyone who came to toast, taking a sip no matter who it was, giving enough face to his old classmates.
Huang Hu had been sitting at the table for a long time without eating a bite.
Seeing Chen Fan accepting everyone, Huang Hu suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
Gritting his teeth, he picked up his wine glass and walked towards Chen Fan.
