After Lin Fan responded live, public opinion had already shifted, with people on one hand worshipping Mr. Lin, and on the other hand, mercilessly mocking the Wangu Group.

Some business insiders commented that in the past there might have been secret skirmishes between Mortal Group and Wangu Group, but this time, Lin Fan brought everything to light. It's clear these two richest men in Jiangnan are openly at odds, and there likely won't be a shortage of open and secret battles in the future.

We'll just have to see who can have the last laugh.

In the business world, people generally believe in harmony leading to wealth, and even when competition exists, it's rare to display it openly, unless absolutely necessary and needs to be resolved in court.

It's indeed rare to see such a big scandal.

It seems there will be lively events to watch in Jiangnan.

Other business insiders believe that Lin Fan's public retaliation against Wei Tiansheng this time signifies that Mortal Group now has the strength to surpass Wangu Group. Soon, Wangu Group will have to give up its position as the richest in Jiangnan.

For the moment, everyone in business is eagerly awaiting this grand show.

Mortal Group Headquarters, Chairman's office.

At this moment, Lin Fan was discussing design with Wu Yili: "Miss Wu, starting tomorrow, I'll be counting on you. Feel free to create, I won't interfere with your work, unless there's a need to give feedback."

Wu Yili couldn't hide her inner excitement: "Yes, Mr. Lin, I will give it my all."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Do you remember that future world in Huaxia I told you about? Let's accomplish it together."

Together!

These four words stirred Wu Yili's heart beneath her calm appearance, together, together, together... She blushed.

"I remember." Wu Yili said.

Lin Fan had no idea how much Wu Yili was thinking; he was just offering some encouraging words. After all, Wu Yili was his ideal choice, nothing more.

He really underestimated his own charm.

Afterward, Wu Yili stood up to say goodbye and left.

After Wu Yili left, someone knocked on Lin Fan's door, it was Wei Yue'er.

Wei Yue'er's expression was indescribably complex.

"You asked me to look into Wu Corporation's situation, I've found out. In recent years, due to poor management, Wu Corporation has fallen into financial troubles and couldn't secure funding anywhere. Wangu Group probably took advantage of this, and Patriarch Wu, who is also Miss Wu's father, thus forced Miss Wu to agree to Wangu Group's demands." Wei Yue'er said.

Lin Fan nodded: "This issue must be resolved, I'll leave it to you to help Wu Corporation out of its predicament. Do you have confidence?"

"This..." Wei Yue'er hesitated for a moment, but eventually nodded, "Yes, no problem."

For the small Wu Corporation, financial issues were not a big problem with Lin Fan's top-notch investment skills, so he was too lazy to intervene and it just gave Wei Yue'er a chance to practice.

It seemed Lin Fan really had the intention of grooming Wei Yue'er.

"I'll handle this matter, but I want to take a day off tomorrow, there's something I need to deal with at home..." Wei Yue'er said hesitantly.

Lin Fan was straightforward and didn't ask much: "No problem, just hand over your work to Jiayi."

"Okay." Wei Yue'er felt touched, Lin Fan was really so nice, really too nice.

Lin Fan's kindness heightened her feelings of guilt.

Today, she finally witnessed the scene she least wanted to see, a direct confrontation between Wangu Group and Mortal Group.

One was her family, and the other was the man she secretly loved. Being caught in between made her feel indescribably uncomfortable.

On one side, she felt guilty for hiding her identity and staying by Lin Fan's side, and on the other, she belonged to the Wei Family yet was helping Lin Fan, making her feel she was betraying her family.

She had to return home and try to persuade her brother not to oppose Lin Fan.

After leaving Lin Fan's office, she handed over some daily tasks to Zhao Jiayi and then left the company, driving back to Hang City overnight.

On the way, she made a call to Wei Tiansheng: "Brother, I'm rushing back to Hang City, I have something to talk to you about."

Wei Tiansheng's tone didn't sound good: "Alright, come back, I have something to say to you too!"

After Wei Yue'er left, Lin Fan checked the time; it was almost time to get off work, and outside, it was already dark.

Ring ring ring...

The phone rang.

Lin Fan picked up the phone and saw it was Loli calling; she had told him that if he was free tonight after pursuing Zhong Huofang, they could have dinner together.

Lin Fan answered the call.

"Bad guy, are you off work yet? Do you have time to have dinner with me?" Loli asked, her tone full of anticipation.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Yes, I'm just about to leave. Where are you, I'll come to pick you up."

Loli said, "Then come pick me up at the police station."

"As you wish, Officer," Lin Fan smiled, then hung up the phone and left the office.

On Loli's end, she stomped her feet in happiness, oh, so wonderful, a date with her beloved man tonight. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

As Lin Fan walked out of the office, he saw that the company's executives and employees were outside waiting for him. When they saw him, they applauded in unison.

Lin Fan couldn't help but laugh: "What's this about?"

A company executive laughed and said, "Chairman, your counterattack today was brilliant, we all felt proud and elated!"

"Yes, the chairman is so handsome!"

"Chairman forever young and awesome!"

Everyone chimed in, feeling proud as a part of Mortal Group.

Lin Fan said, "Calm down, don't get happy too early."

Everyone was puzzled, what did he mean, could there be any unforeseen changes?

Lin Fan smiled slightly and continued, "There are more good things to come, if you're happy too soon, I'm afraid you'll laugh until your mouths are crooked."

Hahaha...

Everyone couldn't help but burst out in laughter!

After speaking, Lin Fan suavely walked through the office and left, leaving behind an incredibly handsome silhouette for everyone to admire.

The chairman is truly amazingly handsome!

Yun City Police Station.

A group of female officers walked out the police station gate, chatting and laughing, with Loli among them.

"Since we're off early today, why don't we have a get-together?" a female officer suggested.

"Great idea!"

"Good idea!"

"Where should we go?"

The female officers all agreed; it was rare to get off work early today, the usual workload at the station was exhausting, so it was a good opportunity to relax.

Loli blushed and said, "You guys go ahead; I won't be joining."

These words immediately caught the attention of all the ladies.

"Sister Lily, do you have a date? I heard you're dating someone recently, is it true?"

"What, Sister Lily has a boyfriend and didn't tell us?"

"Loli, what does your boyfriend do, is he from our department too?"

The ladies immediately turned gossipy, eagerly inquiring.

Loli blushed even more, thinking of Lin Fan, the usually decisive police beauty finally showed a bit of a shy side.

"He's over there, you can see for yourselves." Loli glanced at the opposite road of the gate, she'd already spotted Lin Fan's Rolls-Royce.

But her colleagues' eyes fell on the electric scooter next to the Rolls-Royce, where a young man seemed to be waiting for someone.

Hmm, did Sister Lily's boyfriend come to pick her up on an electric scooter?
