Chapter 060 The Time Is Not Yet Ripe
"Mr. Song, was that person your cousin just now?"
Lin Fan's question once again made Song Xu break out in a cold sweat.
Bao San was Song Xu's aunt's son. Spoiled from a young age, he developed a host of bad habits. He was idle and good-for-nothing, spending his days loafing around the Shancheng Golden Street area. After Song Xu became a junior manager at the Shancheng Group, Bao San took advantage of his cousin Song Xu's name and started to act arrogantly.
Over time, Bao San accumulated some 'reputation' in Jin Street of the mountain city, and had more than a dozen brothers under his command. However, these people were all local hooligans and were not respectable.
Whenever Bao San encounters a problem he can't handle, he always calls Song Xu to clean up his mess, and Song Xu always helps out because Bao San is his cousin.
In the past, any problems Bao San encountered could be resolved immediately upon Song Xu's arrival, as everyone was wary of the Shancheng Group behind Song Xu. But things are different now. This time, Bao San has directly offended the boss of the Shancheng Group. Although Song Xu doesn't know Lin Fan's identity, he understands that Lin Fan is someone he can't afford to offend.
"He's not my cousin, he has nothing to do with me." Song Xu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, fearing that Bao San's actions would affect his career.
"Isn't he your cousin? He calls you cousin-brother?" Lin Fan asked coldly.
Song Xu frowned deeply and quickly waved his hand, saying, "He was picked up, he has nothing to do with me!"
"Ha, I picked him up." Lin Fan was amused. When Song Xu got angry, he would say anything. However, he couldn't make things difficult for him anymore. After all, it was in front of Su Ruowei. Su Ruowei would still need to discuss projects with Song Xu in the future. Making Song Xu lose face would not only tarnish the reputation of Shancheng Group, but would also make Su Ruowei doubt his identity.
"Alright, since Mr. Song isn't going to eat with us, then drive carefully!"
Lin Fan got up to see the guest out, which was also a way to give Song Xu a way out.
Song Xu understood, exchanged a few polite words, and then left the Golden Street Restaurant. After Song Xu left, only Lin Fan and his wife and the two chefs remained in the private room.
Looking at the sumptuous meal on the table, and thinking about the exorbitant price of nearly 17 yuan for this lunch, as well as Song Xu's attitude towards Lin Fan, Su Ruowei couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Lin Fan had mentioned having 200 million yuan in savings, but there are plenty of wealthy people in the world, and the project manager of Shancheng Group wouldn't be swayed by how much money Lin Fan had. Could it be because of Gao Xuan, the uncle Lin Fan mentioned?
Moreover, Lin Fan's skills are completely different from before. Could it be that he deliberately concealed his abilities before?
Su Ruowei became more and more curious as she thought about it, and she wanted to ask him the reason herself. Thinking of this, Su Ruowei glanced at Lin Fan who was eating, and was about to speak but then stopped herself.
My attitude towards Lin Fan has been lukewarm over the years of our marriage. If I were to find out the reason, regardless of the truth, would Lin Fan think that my change in attitude was because of his money?
Thinking of this, Su Ruowei shook her head, keeping the question she wanted to ask to herself. No matter what the reason was, Lin Fan was her husband, and she wasn't doing this because of Lin Fan's money.
"Phew." Su Ruowei sighed, her cheeks already flushed with embarrassment.
Lin Fan noticed the change in Su Ruowei, and it wasn't hard to predict that Su Ruowei had begun to suspect his identity.
"Ruowei, is something on your mind?" Lin Fan asked as he placed a piece of food on Su Ruowei's plate.
"No, nothing's on my mind." Su Ruowei kept the questions she wanted to ask to herself, trying her best to appear calm and composed.
Lin Fan scrutinized Su Ruowei with gentle eyes. Since Su Ruowei didn't ask, Lin Fan pretended not to know.
Lin Fan didn't want to tell Su Ruowei his identity right now because he knew Su Ruowei's strong personality. If he told Su Ruowei that he was the president of Shancheng Group, Su Ruowei would think that everything she had received was just Lin Fan's charity and had nothing to do with her own efforts.
The most opportune time is when Su Ruowei is capable of standing on her own, and at the right moment, she will receive warmth. Lin Fan is unsure whether Su Ruowei can accept this now.
After lunch, Lin Fan and Su Ruowei left the Jinjie Restaurant, preparing to go to the shopping mall to officially take over Su Zhengshuang's company.
They had only gone halfway when several masked men jumped out of a flower bed and blocked their path.
"Lin Fan, you have to give me an explanation today!" the masked leader shouted.
Lin Fan glanced at him and realized that the belly and hairstyle were exactly like Bao San's. This guy was truly unrepentant; his cousin Song Xu had really slapped him twice for nothing.
"Bao San, are you cosplaying as a robber in broad daylight with your face covered?" Lin Fan said.
Bao San's heart skipped a beat when he heard Lin Fan's words. He was by nature meticulous and had been pampered since childhood, never experiencing hardship or the harsh realities of life. Feeling humiliated, Bao San was extremely resentful and wanted nothing more than to beat Lin Fan up. That's why he resorted to this desperate measure.
Bao San suddenly removed his mask and said, "Since you've seen through me, I'm not going to go through the motions. Brothers, let's go!"
At his command, seven or eight men rushed forward, but within seconds they were all knocked to the ground by Lin Fan.
Upon seeing this, Bao San's face turned ashen, his cheeks sunken, and his eyes darted around. "We'll meet again someday, farewell!" With that, he swung his short legs at the fastest pace he'd ever had, completely disregarding the life or death of his underling, and ran away.
Watching Bao San stagger away, Lin Fan shrugged and laughed, "This kind of person doesn't deserve to be in Jin Street."
Su Ruowei chuckled, and the two continued walking towards the shopping mall, chatting and laughing.
Song Xu watched everything from the shadows. He was amazed by Lin Fan's skill and his phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Song Xu answered it without thinking.
"Hello, this is Song Xu from Shancheng Group. Who is this?"
"I'm Lin Fan."
Upon hearing that it was Lin Fan, Song Xu jumped in fright, nearly dropping his phone. He stammered, "Mr. Lin, is there something you need?"
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Your cousin isn't quite right in the head. Take him to the hospital to get him checked out. Also, be honest and upright in your actions; don't hide in the shadows!"
Upon hearing that Lin Fan had noticed him, Song Xu quickly explained, "Bao, Bao San's behavior has nothing to do with me. I, I was just passing by and watching."
"hope so!"
Song Xu wanted to explain, but Lin Fan had already hung up the phone.
Who exactly is this Lin Fan? And what is his relationship with President Gao? Song Xu was filled with doubts, but he dared not ask, because he knew the importance of being cautious in his words and actions.
In any case, Lin Fan is someone you shouldn't mess with!
As soon as Lin Fan hung up the phone, Su Ruowei couldn't help but ask, "Who were you talking to on the phone? Why were you being so fierce?"
"It's nothing, just a friend!"
