Chapter 1: The Eye-Catching Wedding

  Song Wenbin was sitting at the table, but his tone and demeanor had a somewhat condescending air to them. At this moment, Song Wenbin was indeed very excited.

  A few days ago, Song Wenbin felt that he had hit the bottom of his life, but Zhao Qingxue's sudden reuse and the city government officials' flattery made Song Wenbin's mind begin to undergo a dramatic change. Just now in the office, his fierce attack on Jiang Yun's body brought his excitement to its peak.

  At this moment, Song Wenbin even had a feeling of being in control of everything, and in his eyes, Mayor Meng Xingguo was nothing to worry about, let alone Ning Fan.

  As soon as he said that, Meng Xingguo's face changed, which made Song Wenbin even more confident. He believed that under Meng Xingguo's pressure, Ning Fan would definitely surrender obediently, and he also believed that Su Yun would soon surrender to him too.

  "Director Song, this matter can be discussed again." Meng Xingguo was actually somewhat dissatisfied in his heart. Song Wenbin was too disrespectful to him. After all, he was also the head of a city, while Song Wenbin, although from the Qingxue Group, was not Zhao Qingxue after all.

  If it were Zhao Qingxue, Meng Xingguo wouldn't mind being humble and courteous at all. But when it came to Song Wenbin, he was actually reluctant to be humble and courteous, however, at this moment, he still tried his best to lower his posture.

  After all, Meng Xingguo is now just the acting mayor, and he doesn't have full confidence in removing the "acting" label, but if he can successfully negotiate this investment, then becoming the real mayor will be a done deal.

  "Mayor Meng, there's nothing to discuss, this is a prerequisite for cooperation." Song Wenbin said in one breath, "Our Qingxue Group is willing to cooperate with your government, but we will not discuss any conditions with individuals. We are a large group and do not have the energy to deal with trivial matters, nor do we have the energy to bother with such small characters!"

  Song Wenbin spoke while looking at Ning Fan with a disdainful gaze, Meng Xingguo looked at Song Wenbin with an odd gaze, and suddenly understood that it seemed this Mr. Song and Ning Fan didn't get along well, could it be because of Chen Zixuan?

  But it seems not quite right either, if it's really because of Chen Zixuan, then Song Wenbin has no reason to think that Ning Fan is just a small figure.

  "Think about it again, Xiao Ning?" Meng Xingguo looked at Ning Fan. In fact, he was not familiar with Ning Fan, although he had investigated Ning Fan, but Ning Fan's information was too ordinary. However, Meng Xingguo knew that he could become the acting mayor thanks to Ning Fan, and Meng Xingguo also knew that Secretary Zhang Zhengguo of the Municipal Party Committee had praised Ning Fan several times in front of him.

  Meng Xingguo now has a somewhat difficult feeling, he doesn't want to offend Ning Fan, but at the same time, he also doesn't want to offend Song Wenbin.

  "Mayor Meng, I'm sorry, I've said what I needed to say. Goodbye." Ning Fan naturally understood Song Wenbin's intentions, but he had only come here as a favor to Su Yu. Now, he felt no need to stay any longer.

  Ning Fan finished speaking and stood up, walking towards the conference room door without any hesitation.

  Song Wenbin was suddenly stunned, and it was clear that Ning Fan's action had completely exceeded his expectations.

  Just as Ning Fan was about to reach the door, Song Wenbin finally reacted and shouted loudly: "Ning Fan, stop right there!"

  Ning Fan didn't say a word, he just pulled open the conference room door and stepped out with one foot!

  Seeing himself being ignored, Song Wenbin suddenly remembered the scene where Ning Fan and Su Yun completely ignored him in front of him a few days ago. For a moment, he felt his blood boiling up again, and he shouted another sentence: "Ning Fan, you son of a bitch, stand still for me!"

  At this moment, Song Wenbin already had a feeling of being out of breath. He was originally spirited and confident, thinking that he could make Ning Fang obey him by just saying one sentence to Meng Xingguo. He even fantasized about Ning Fang being humble in front of him, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face - Ning Fang ignored him again!

  Song Wenbin, who was in a state of excitement, felt that this was an insult to him. In fact, he felt that Ning Fan and Su Yun had already humiliated him a few days ago, but at that time, he had no way out. However, now he could not tolerate such humiliation because he was no longer the Song Wenbin of a few days ago. Now, with tens of billions of funds in hand and great power in his grasp!

  Song Wenbin's furious roar finally had an effect, Ning Fan stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Song Wenbin coldly: "President Song, it's better if your mouth can be a bit cleaner!"

  "What's wrong with my mouth not being clean?" Song Wenbin suddenly slammed the table, "Ning Fan, what are you? Putting on airs in front of me? I'm telling you now, that Qingyun Pavilion, whether you want to sell it or not, you have to sell!"

  "What? I'm not selling, can you force me to sell?!" Ning Fang coldly sneered, "Song Wenbin, I warn you again, don't speak indecently in front of me!"

  "Surnamed Ning, my old man is going to force a sale, what can you do about it?" Song Wenbin was now completely unscrupulous, or rather, he wasn't quite himself, that persistent excitement made him feel like he was on drugs. At this moment, Song Wenbin didn't look like a corporate executive, but more like a street thug.

  Song Wenbin said as he walked towards Ning Fan, "I'll tell you now, Qingyun Pavilion is yours, but if the government wants to take it away from you, it's just a matter of me saying one word. You're just a commoner, don't pretend to be some kind of big shot in front of me! Su Yun must have been blind to have taken a liking to you, I won't put you in my eyes..."

  Bang!

  A loud slap interrupted Song Wenbin's boastful words and suddenly quieted the conference room.

  "I told you to keep your mouth clean," Ning Fan said slowly and calmly.

  "You, you dare to hit me?" Song Wenbin touched his burning cheek and suddenly roared, "You dare to hit me? You actually dare to hit me? Ning, you're dead for sure, I'll definitely make you pay! I'll definitely make you pay!"

  Turning to Meng Xingguo, Song Wenbin shouted: "Mayor Meng, you saw it, I'm going to sue him, sue him for intentional injury. You immediately call the police over and have him arrested, now!"

  "Director Song, Ning Fan, let's all calm down and sit down first, okay?" Meng Xingguo smiled wryly to mediate, he also seemed to have figured out that the conflict between Ning Fan and Song Wenbin was because of a woman named Su Yun.

  "Director Song, don't get angry first, Mayor Meng will definitely handle it." Jiang Yun whispered in Song Wenbin's ear, "Now we have the upper hand, take this opportunity to take over Qingyun Temple!"

  Jiang Yun's words made Song Wenbin, who was in a rage, calm down slightly. He turned his head to look at Meng Xingguo, but his tone was still aggressive: "Mayor Meng, I am here representing the Qingxue Group to invest in your city of Qingyun. Now, you can't even guarantee my personal safety. Do you think I would dare to come and invest?"

  "Song, you're being too serious, Qingyun City's public security has always been good." Meng Xingguo forced a smile, he really didn't expect things to suddenly develop like this.

  "Mayor Meng, I was intentionally harmed in front of you, is this what you call good public order?" Song Wenbin sneered, "If your city government doesn't give me an explanation for this incident, not only will we withdraw our investment, but I'll also tell other investors that the investment environment here is extremely poor. If even the personal safety of us investors can't be guaranteed, what about ordinary tourists?"

  Meng Xingguo's face changed suddenly, although he had always hoped to reach an agreement with Qingxue Group on the investment, but in fact, if Qingxue Group was not willing to invest, the Qiongyun City Government might also be able to pull in other investors. However, if Song Wenbin really made a scene like this, given Qingxue Group's reputation, it's likely that other potential investors would be too afraid to come.

  Could it be that he really let the police come and take Ning Fang away?

  "Mayor Meng, I am willing to believe that such people are only a tiny minority in your city, but your municipal government should at least prove to me that you will severely punish this kind of behavior that attacks investors!" Song Wenbin said again, his meaning was very clear, and it wasn't really about giving up on the investment, but rather about dealing with Ning Fan.

  Meng Xingguo hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ning Fan with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Ning Fan, why don't you apologize to President Song?"

  "Apologize?" Song Wenbin was furious again, "Mayor Meng, is this the attitude of your city? If an apology is useful, what's the point of having police? I won't accept an apology!"

  "Song Wenbin, you're overthinking this, I didn't even think about apologizing to you." Ning Fan said coldly. To be honest, Ning Fan originally didn't have much of a bad feeling towards Song Wenbin, after all he wasn't Su Yun's real boyfriend, and between him and Song Wenbin it wasn't like they were true love rivals either. But Song Wenbin's current behavior was making him quite disgusted.

  Pausing for a moment, Ning Fan continued: "Song Wenbin, as far as I know, you're just an employee of the Qingxue Group. Even if you're the manager of a branch company, you're still just an employee. So, let me advise you, don't pretend to be an investor. You're not a real investor. Whether or not to invest in Qingyun Mountain is probably not up to you to decide!"

  Ning Fan's words were like a sharp needle, revealing the true facts, which made Song Wenbin even more furious. He let out a cold laugh, but ignored Ning Fan and continued to stare at Meng Xingguo: "Mayor Meng, this time's investment, I was personally authorized by President Zhao. If I say that Qingyun City is not suitable for investment, I believe President Zhao will support my view."

  "Really?" Ning Fan smiled faintly. He didn't believe that an investment of over 10 billion would allow Song Wenbin to make decisions on his own, and become the richest Chinese woman. Zhao Qingxue shouldn't be so blind.

  Of course, Ning Fan wouldn't pursue the matter further. He simply turned around again and walked out of the conference room, leaving behind a sentence: "Song Wenbin, you can continue to threaten Mayor Meng, I won't be polite anymore."

  "Ning Fan, stop right there!" Song Wenbin roared again.
