Chapter 379: The Richest Man in Jiangnan? Didn't Expect to Encounter Him So Soon!
Lin Fan drove the Rolls-Royce away from Wenyue Company.
As he drove, he was also on a call with Du Tao.
"Mr. Lin, I have already warned those companies. I don't think they'll dare to cause trouble again. You can rest assured, Mr. Lin. If I can't handle these small fry after all these years in the entertainment industry, then I've been wasting my time," Du Tao chuckled.
Lin Fan laughed heartily, "Thanks for the trouble."
Du Tao said, "Mr. Lin, please don't say that. It's my honor to work for you."
Though Du Tao was a big shot in the entertainment circle, feared by no one, he held Lin Fan in high regard. The last time he saw Lin Fan, Lin was just a mysterious upstart in Yun City. Now, Lin Fan has become the new richest man in Yun City.
This rapid rise was nothing short of a miracle.
In Du Tao's eyes, Mr. Lin was a god-like figure now.
The big shot of the entertainment circle took pride in being a follower of Lin Fan...
"Mr. Lin, there's another matter I need to mention," Du Tao added.
Lin Fan said, "Go ahead."
Du Tao said, "From what I understand, the entertainment company Feng Tianming invested in has now been acquired by Cherry Entertainment. Cherry Entertainment is one of the top three companies in the entertainment industry and a competitor of our Tianxue. So this time, I didn't send a warning email to Feng Tianming."
Lin Fan furrowed his brows, "Cherry Entertainment?"
Du Tao said, "To deal with Cherry Entertainment, we'll need a different strategy. The boss of Cherry, Wei Jiansheng, is not simple. Have you heard of the Wangu Group, Mr. Lin?"
Wangu Group!
Lin Fan indeed had heard of it.
He had heard Anna mention it.
The head of Wangu Group, Wei Tiansheng, is the richest man in Jiangnan!
Currently, Lin Fan is merely the richest man in Yun City, whereas Wei Tiansheng is known as the richest man in Jiangnan. Wangu Group is a giant based in Hang City, Jiangnan, with a market value of 350 billion. It's a behemoth.
Du Tao said, "This Wei Jiansheng is the third son of Wei Tiansheng. He got involved in the entertainment industry early on, and his status now can rival mine. Mr. Lin, this person is not to be trifled with, mainly because he's Wei Tiansheng's son."
"Wei Tiansheng, huh..."
Lin Fan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
He had once told Anna that he wanted to become the king of Jiangnan, and Wei Tiansheng was the one he intended to defeat.
However, Lin Fan was in Yun City, while Wei Tiansheng's Wangu Group was far away in Hang City, so Lin Fan thought he wouldn't encounter Wei Tiansheng so soon.
Unexpectedly, due to Ning Xiaoyue, he would soon have to contend with the Wei Family.
Lin Fan said, "I understand. Let's just wait and see. If the other side makes another move, then it will mean war!"
Lin Fan's mindset was that he wouldn't provoke trouble, but he also wasn't afraid of it. If the other side dared to act foolishly, whether it was Wei Tiansheng's son or the emperor's son, Lin Fan would not be lenient.
Just as Du Tao mentioned, the entertainment company Feng Tianming invested in was indeed acquired by Cherry Entertainment shortly after Feng Tianming's investment.
With Cherry Entertainment as a powerful backing, Feng Tianming gained great confidence.
However, today he suffered embarrassment at Wenyue Company and left dejectedly, growing more furious the more he thought about it.
He was unwilling to let it go and couldn't swallow his anger. He wanted to continue to target Ning Xiaoyue.
Before long, Feng Tianming figured out that the reason Ning Xiaoyue could rank second was due to Ning Xiaoyue's massive fanbase.
Despite the online backlash against Ning Xiaoyue, these fans were fiercely voting for her. In fact, the harsher the online criticism, the more it fueled their rebellious spirit. They voted tirelessly, determined to get Ning Xiaoyue to debut.
Upon understanding this reason, Feng Tianming was nearly consumed with jealousy.
With such poor singing and dancing skills, how could Ning Xiaoyue attract so many fans? It was truly something to envy, loathe, and hate.
It seemed that to take Ning Xiaoyue down, he needed a targeted approach, namely, to strike at her fanbase!
If he could stop Ning Xiaoyue's fans from voting, her ranking would naturally drop.
How to dampen the enthusiasm of the fans' voting?
Feng Tianming thought of a malicious idea...
Lin Fan was unaware at this moment that Feng Tianming was already preparing his next move against Ning Xiaoyue.
He drove the Rolls-Royce back to the apartment in the urban village.
The night was already deep.
When Lin Fan entered, he found that Wei Qingxue had already fallen asleep on the bed, with the door open.
Clearly, Wei Qingxue didn't intend to go to sleep so early. She planned to wait for Lin Fan to return, but as she waited, she fell asleep on the bed, not even closing the door.
Fast asleep, Wei Qingxue's face was flushed, and her features were delicate and exquisite. Her figure under the pajamas was exquisite, truly a sleeping beauty. Lin Fan could hardly resist wanting to sneak a kiss.
This woman was now his legitimate wife.
But in the end, Lin Fan didn't do it. The first clause of the marriage agreement he signed with Wei Qingxue was not to touch her.
Lin Fan pulled the quilt over her and quietly left the room, closing the door softly as he did.
He couldn't help it; he feared that if he looked at her a bit longer, he wouldn't be able to resist. After all, he was a normal man, not Liu Xia Hui.
Lin Fan then went to take a shower and slept on the sofa in the living room.
Nothing happened during the night.
The next morning, Lin Fan was awakened by a scream and quickly stood up.
It turned out that Wei Qingxue had just woken up, realizing she had accidentally fallen asleep last night with a quilt over her. She instinctively screamed in surprise.
Wei Qingxue hastily checked herself and found no signs of being disturbed, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Then she heard a knock on the door. Lin Fan said, "Are you okay?"
Wei Qingxue saw that the door was closed, thinking for a moment, she replied, "I'm fine. You can come in."
Lin Fan then pushed the door open.
Wei Qingxue said, "Was it you who covered me with the quilt and closed the door last night?"
Lin Fan smiled, "Who else but me?"
Wei Qingxue said, "I had been planning to wait for you to come back last night, but as you took so long, I accidentally fell asleep."
Otherwise, she would have locked the door securely. How could she possibly give Lin Fan such an opportunity, despite their agreement of three conditions, she was a great beauty, after all, and it was hard to guarantee Lin Fan wouldn't be tempted.
Lin Fan chuckled, "You can rest assured now."
Wei Qingxue said, "Well, yesterday was just an unexpected test, and you passed. By the way, why did you deliver packages so late yesterday?"
Lin Fan casually replied, "Yeah, there were a lot of orders."
Wei Qingxue asked, "Are you going out to deliver packages again today?"
Lin Fan chuckled, "Do you have something in mind?"
He certainly didn't expect Wei Qingxue to care about his job. In her eyes, he was just a deliveryman. As a daughter of a wealthy family, how could she possibly care? She must have something to ask.
Sure enough, Wei Qingxue blushed, "I wanted you to accompany me somewhere."
Lin Fan asked, "Where to?"
Ning Xiaoyue said, "My home."
The Wei Family of three lived in a residential complex. After escaping the banquet yesterday, Wei Qingxue didn't dare return home, spending the night at Lin Fan's place instead.
She hadn't brought anything with her, so she needed to go back home. Also, she heard that her mother, Li Xueyan, was quite upset, and she wanted to check on her.
She didn't dare to go home alone, feeling more at ease if Lin Fan accompanied her. Last night, she wanted to talk to Lin Fan about this but accidentally fell asleep.
Lin Fan agreed with a simple "Oh".
Soon, Lin Fan was riding his beloved little electric scooter, taking Wei Qingxue home.
At the entrance of the complex, the two were stopped by the security guard.
Meanwhile, Li Xueyan was chatting with a neighbor at the doorway. Upon seeing Lin Fan riding a shabby electric scooter, her face immediately fell.
"Hey, isn't that Xiaoxue? Why is she coming back on an electric scooter?" the curious neighbor asked.
At these words, Li Xueyan felt utterly embarrassed, wishing to disappear.
