The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 26 Rules? (Please continue reading)
As Xia Zhenzhong's secretary, Li Wen had been by his side for over a decade and knew him extremely well.

At this moment, when Li Wen saw Xia Zhenzhong's tightly furrowed brows and cold expression, she knew that Xia Zhenzhong was in a state of extreme displeasure.

There were some things that Xia Zhenzhong couldn't say in his capacity, so Li Wen had to do it for him.

Li Wen, who had been bowing and smiling obsequiously beside Gu Heng, now straightened up, her expression turning serious, and lightly rebuked Fan Hong and the others.

"Who let you in?"

Do you even know the rules?

"Get out now!"

Fan Hong, who was already feeling uneasy, gradually froze on his face when faced with Li Wen's reprimand and the indifferent gazes of the crowd.

"Sorry……"

Although Fan Hong used to be a big boss with tens of millions in assets, now he is just an ordinary worker. After hearing Li Wen's reprimand, he subconsciously apologized.

Throughout the entire process, he did not deliberately glance at Gu Heng.

I can suffer injustice myself, but I can't let my little brother be in a difficult position.

Even though his act of giving away the food today was to fulfill his promise to Gu Heng.

"pat..."

Just as the atmosphere became slightly awkward, Gu Heng, who was holding a contract in his left hand and a pen in his right, suddenly tucked the pen into the contract and threw it onto the round table in front of him.

Gu Heng's single action immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

"Uncle Fan."

"It was agreed that two dishes would be given as a gift."

"Aren't these five dishes excessive?"

Gu Heng slowly stood up from the chair, smiled and looked at Fan Hong as he spoke.

Uncle Fan?

Upon hearing Gu Heng's address and his familiar tone, the way everyone at the round table looked at Fan Hong immediately changed.

Li Wen, who had just reprimanded Fan Hong, turned deathly pale and became flustered.

"Li Wen, aren't you the one who doesn't understand the rules?"

"General Manager Fan kindly came over to give us some vegetables, what kind of attitude is this?"

Xia Zhenzhong stood up from his chair right after Gu Heng. He glanced at Li Wen and said sternly, "Aren't you going to apologize to General Manager Fan?"

"sorry!"

"My bad, my bad!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Wen immediately bowed repeatedly to Fan Hong and apologized.

At the same time, he quickly ran to his seat, picked up her wine glass, and then picked up the wine vessel to pour wine into the glass.

"Manager Fan, please don't take offense at the fact that the staff below are not very knowledgeable."

With a hint of apology on his face, Xia Zhenzhong apologized to Fan Hong, then turned to Gu Heng and said, "Mr. Gu, I'll punish myself with a drink by Manager Fan. Please forgive me."

"Director Xia, you flatter me."

"No need for self-punishment, let's do it together."

Gu Heng smiled at Xia Zhenzhong, then picked up his wine glass and walked straight towards Fan Hong.

"Xiao Heng, no need, no need."

"You two continue your discussion, I'll be leaving now."

When Fan Hong saw Gu Heng carrying wine over, and then saw Xia Zhenzhong and Yang Wenjie, who were both very famous in the Northern legal circles, also carrying wine glasses, he felt a little flustered.

"Uncle Fan, I wouldn't be where I am today without you."

Gu Heng looked at Fan Hong with utmost sincerity: "I've been waiting for this drink for years. We must have one today."

Not far away, Li Wen, who had poured herself half a glass of wine, silently raised her wine glass again after hearing Gu Heng's words and filled it to the brim.

At the same time, Li Wen couldn't help but recall the classic scene from "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" by the time management master, and the lines echoed repeatedly in her mind.

"You should have said so earlier!"

'Why didn't you say so sooner!' 'You should have said so sooner!'

Those who were nearby immediately poured Fan Hong a glass of wine and then politely handed it to him.

"it is good!"

"Then I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Xiao Heng and Director Xia a pleasant collaboration in advance!"

Since Gu Heng had already made his point, Fan Hong didn't hesitate any longer. He took the wine glass and generously toasted Gu Heng and Xia Zhenzhong.

"Thank you for your kind words, Manager Fan!"

Seeing that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, Xia Zhenzhong's smile grew even wider.

"Manager Fan, I'm very sorry."

"I apologize for offending you just now."

Li Wen brought a full glass of red wine to Fan Hong, sincerely apologized, and then slowly tilted her head back and drank the entire glass of red wine in one gulp.

"Hey..."

"no, I'm fine……"

Upon seeing this, Fan Hong instinctively wanted to reach out and stop him.
"Manager Fan, it's my pleasure."

Xia Zhenzhong blocked Fan Hong, raised his hand to clink glasses with Fan Hong, and then lowered his glass slightly to clink glasses with Gu Heng.

Then, everyone raised their glasses at the same time.

This time, Gu Heng didn't touch his lips to the wine, but instead tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

"Xiao Heng, Director Xia, please continue. I won't disturb you any longer."

Fan Hong gestured to the two men, then left the private room with five service staff.

"boom……"

As the door to the private room slowly closed, Fan Hong let out a long sigh of relief.

"Manager Fan, you're really getting a lot of attention!"

"Those are all senior lawyers from Juncheng Law Firm, and they all took the initiative to toast you!"

As soon as they left the private room, the little girls who had followed Fan Hong inside immediately started chattering excitedly.

"Is that a toast to me?"

"Isn't that all because of my younger brother?"

Fan Hong shook his head: "If it weren't for my brother speaking up, your manager would have been kicked out long ago."

"Manager Fan, what's your brother's background?"

One girl's eyes sparkled with admiration: "He can actually get so many top lawyers to fawn over him, and they all treat him with the utmost respect!"

"To be honest, I don't know."

Fan Hong shook his head with a wry smile.

After all, before today, who could have imagined that the big boy who couldn't even afford to eat three years ago would suddenly transform into such a respected figure?

"Manager Fan, does your younger brother have a girlfriend?"

Another girl asked expectantly, "If he has a girlfriend, would he mind having another one?"

"Manager Fan, I have a single, soft, loli-like voice!"

"Could you please give me your contact information? Could you give me a chance?"

Once this topic was brought up, these originally "reserved" girls suddenly became "brave".

"Go! Go! Go!"

"Get back to work and stop daydreaming!"

Fan Hong was both amused and exasperated, and sent all the girls away.

Then, he turned back to look at the tightly closed door, quietly wiped his slightly moist eyes with his finger, and finally turned back to his work in silence...

P.S.: New week, goal is to be in the top ten of the urban fantasy new book charts, let's go!
