A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)

Chapter 291 The 'Respectable' Ye Fan

The next day.

After Qiu Mu-Cheng went to work, Ye Fan went to Shen Group to look for Shen Fei. He wanted to ask

whether Shen Fei was done with working on the jadeite yet.

Lu Wen-Jing was bored if she stayed home by herself, so she insisted on going with Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had no choice but to bring her along.

But just as he reached the entrance of the Shens', Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie came scurrying out.

They were both shocked when they spotted Ye Fan, but their shock soon turned into pleasant surprise.

"Mr Ye! What great timing! Shao-Jie was about to look for you!" NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Ye Fan frowned and knew something was up. "Why are you two looking for me?"

But just after he asked this question, the two of them bundled Ye Fan into the car.

"Mr Ye, there's no time. Get into the car first, we'll talk along the way.”

And just like that, Ye Fan had gotten into the same boat as these two young men for no reason.

Shen Fei looked Lu Wen-Jing up and down and whispered to Ye Fan with a cheeky smile on his face,

"Mr Ye, you're not bad."

"I haven't seen you in a while and you've already changed partners, and you've even changed your

taste? So you're not going for a mature lady like Miss Qiu anymore and now you like lolitas? So you're

going to keep the one at home and have fun outside too? Mr Ye, I really admire you!

Now I know why you bid for so many herbs at the auction the last time. I guess that sounds about right,

you have to accompany this Lolita in the day and then work hard at home at night too. Since you're

going to tire your kidneys out so much, you really should make sure they're well nourished."

Shen Fei had a lecherous smile on his face while Han Shao-Jie's expression wasn't so obvious. But

Han Shao-Jie was still looking admiringly at Ye Fan as well, and was clearly admiring Ye Fan for his

skills in picking women up.

"Good heavens, move aside! What nonsense are you talking about? Jingjing is Mu-Cheng's cousin,"

replied Ye Fan in annoyance. He really didn't know what rubbish these two rich young men stored in

their brains.

But it would have been better if Ye Fan didn't try to explain things. This explanation made Shen Fei and

Han Shao-Jie even more shocked than before.

"What?!"

"Miss Qiu's cousin?!"

"Mr Ye, you're seriously amazing!"

"Shut up! It's not what you guys are thinking. Jingjing isn't even 14 yet, how could I..." Ye Fan continued

to try explaining himself.

"What the hell?!"

"Not even 14?!"

"Mr Ye, you're really going for it!"

Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie's mouths were even wider now.

Even the driver in front gave Ye Fan a thumbs up with great admiration.

Ye Fan was really speechless. These two idiotic fellows also looked at others as idiotically.

Since explaining himself only made things worse, Ye Fan couldn't be bothered to explain things to

these two dirty minded fellows. He just kicked Shen Fei and forced him to sit further away.

Shen Fei and Han Shao-Jie also obediently shut up after getting kicked, but started grinning again just

a few minutes later. "Mr Ye, don't worry, we're such good friends, so Shao-Jie and I won't tell Miss Qiu

about this!"

"You're still talking about this? Do you want me to kick you out of the car?" Ye Fan glared at them and

the two rich boys immediately behaved themselves.

"So, what's going on?” Ye Fan finally asked them why they were looking for him now that they were

behaving themselves.

“Shao-Jie, it's about your dad, so you tell him," Shen Fei looked at Han Shao-Jie.

Han Shao-Jie nodded and started explaining to Ye Fan.

It turned out that Han Shao-Jie's father was the deputy mayor of the city, and the city needed some

rare jade for some reason, but they didn't have the budget to buy some directly.

So Han Shao-Jie's father, Han Dong-Min, decided to buy rough jade from some jadeite merchants in

hope of finding jade in them. After all, rough jade was much cheaper than buying actual jade, so they

would have more than enough funds to do this.

But even after spending quite a bit on buying two batches of rough jade, none of them produced

sufficiently high grade jade.

So now Han Dong-Min was in a panic.

If the higher-ups found out about this, the consequences were very severe.

But there was no turning back now. Since he had already spent a good half of the budget, Han Dong-

Min couldn't stop now. So he decided to take a last gamble and was going to purchase another batch

of rough jade.

Han Dong-Min had suffered a great loss because of his inexperience, so this time round, he went

looking for experts in this area to help him take a look.

After Han Shao-Jie heard about what his father was doing, he immediately thought of Ye Fan.

Of course Han Shao-Jie wouldn't forget how incredible Ye Fan was at the jade auction. He had helped

Shen Fei to recoup his losses and even discovered a piece that helped Shen Fei to earn more than

$10 million! And after that, Ye Fan even managed to discover the best jade among all jade - an imperial

jade jadeite - and floored the entire crowd!

"Mr Ye, my father has been having trouble sleeping and eating because of this matter and even his hair

has grown whiter. I'm feeling so bad for him as his son, but I'm too incapable and I can't help my dad at

all, so I have no choice but to come and beg you for help. Mr Ye, won't you help my dad?" Han Shao-

Jie was practically pleading with Ye Fan.

He even said that as long as Ye Fan was willing to help his dad to get through this crisis, he was willing

to do anything for Ye Fan.

After Ye Fan listened to his account, he immediately shook his head and laughed. "You make it sound

nice, but I think you're envious that Shen Fei has suddenly become important to his father and become

a director of the company, aren't you?"

"And so you're trying to accomplish something great so that your father would also look at your

differently."

Han Shao-Jie's silly story was enough to trick Shen Fei, but Ye Fan saw through it immediately.

Han Shao-Jie saw that his lies had been seen through, so he scratched his head and laughed in

embarrassment.

"Heh, Mr Ye, your eyes are really sharp. You aren't just good at looking at rocks, you're also good at

looking at people's hearts. If someone at Shen Fei's level could become a director because of what

you've done, then surely I could too, right? Mr Ye, you have to help me out here. My dad keeps saying

that I'm useless and that I keep hanging out with bad company and I keep embarrassing him. So this

time I'm going to let my father look at me differently and make sure he knows that I've got amazing

friends too!" said Han Shao-Jie in a determined and firm voice.

But before Ye Fan could reply, Shen Fei glared at him first.

"Han Shao-Jie, you heartless idiot! Are you mocking me? What do you mean by someone at my level?

What level am I at? You'd better make yourself clear now!"

"Heh heh, Fei, I'd better not say so much. Wen-Jing is still around, so if I say it out, you'd be

embarrassed."

"Get lost!”

Han Shao-Jie and Shen Fei started quarrelling inside the car.

But these two were old friends and they were used to poking at each other's faults.

Otherwise Han Shao-Jie's father wouldn't have considered them bad company.

"Since we're already here, then I'll just go over and take a look," Ye Fan eventually agreed to Han

Shao-Jie's request.

Han Shao-Jie was born in a rich family, but Ye Fan liked his personality. Since they were acquainted,

he decided to just help Han Shao-Jie out.

"Thank you, Mr Ye!” Han Shao-Jie was instantly excited and quickly thanked Ye Fan.

But Ye Fan waved a hand. "Don't thank me so soon. I'm just going to have a look, but I don't know if I'd

be helpful."
