48: Great Dream

Wu Fan pulled out a cigarette, passed them around, and said, "Dai Mao, to be honest with you, you're no match for me on the guitar."

Fei Wei couldn't help but laugh, "Wu Fan, don't even go there. Everyone knows you only strum randomly on the guitar! We all agree that you sing well and can hit high notes."

Grass Chicken also laughed and said, "Wu Fan, there's a limit to bragging. You're getting a bit ahead of yourself."

Dai Mao, shaking his leg, said proudly, "Wu Fan, see? The brothers are already criticizing you. I don't need to say anything more."

Wu Fan took a puff of his cigarette, looked towards the stage, and said, "After Liu Tingting finishes singing, I'll go up and accompany her."

Dai Mao said, "If you dare go up and accompany her on the guitar, I'll call you Master Fan from now on. But if you can't play the guitar, what will you say?"

Wu Fan exhaled a puff of smoke: "I'll call you Grandpa Dai."

Fei Wei and Grass Chicken burst out laughing, slapping their thighs, "Grandpa Dai?"

Dai Mao said angrily, "Wu Fan, are you serious? Calling me Grandpa Dai? Do you dare to bet?"

Wu Fan raised his glass, clinked it with his, and then drank it all, "Deal."

Fei Wei and Grass Chicken looked at Wu Fan, their faces full of disbelief.

He must be crazy, right?

Is calling him Grandpa Dai going to be fun later?

At this moment, Liu Tingting had just finished her song.

Wu Fan stepped onto the stage and took the guitar from her arms.

Liu Tingting looked at Wu Fan with great confusion, "You can play?"

Wu Fan said, "I'm very good at playing the guitar; I just never show it. You're the first person I've ever collaborated with."

Liu Tingting smiled beautifully, "Then I must be very honored."

Wu Fan asked, "What song do you want to sing? I'll accompany you."

Liu Tingting thought for a moment and said, "How about I give you a very difficult song to play? Do you dare?"

"The harder, the better. It'll just highlight my skill."

Liu Tingting chuckled, "Then how about 'Exaggerated'?"

Wu Fan readily agreed.

Seeing Wu Fan just chatting on stage, Dai Mao shouted, "Wu Fan, stop dilly-dallying! If you can't play, hurry up and come down. Calling him Grandpa Dai is easy, don't delay us from watching Miss Liu sing!"

Wu Fan said, "Don't shout, it's about to begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, he strummed a few chords, and the sound was beautiful.

Fei Wei and Grass Chicken exchanged glances.

Dai Mao said with a look of disbelief, "He's even got the moves."

Wu Fan's subsequent performance completely shocked the audience.

He played the song with such ease and skill that it amazed everyone.

The Advanced guitar Skill Book was no joke.

Coupled with Liu Tingting's perfect transition between true and falsetto notes and her highly infectious performance, she received a round of applause.

Afterward, Liu Tingting looked at Wu Fan very affectionately and said, "You're amazing."

Wu Fan smiled faintly, handed the guitar back to her, and then left the stage.

Dai Mao stared at Wu Fan, dumbfounded, completely speechless.

Wu Fan raised his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "What do you call me?"

Dai Mao said with great embarrassment, "Master Fan."

Wu Fan laughed heartily, "Don't get it wrong next time we meet, or I'll whack your head."

Dai Mao rubbed his head and smiled awkwardly... After the bar closed, Liu Tingting very actively linked her arm with Wu Fan's, and they got into the car together, looking like a couple.

Dai Mao watched their retreating figures, gritting his teeth in frustration.

Fei Wei, however, shook his head with concern, "That kid Wu Fan, he'll die in a woman's hands sooner or later."

Dai Mao said resentfully, "To die in the hands of a beauty like Liu Tingting, I'd wish for it."

Grass Chicken patted his shoulder and said, "Your Master Fan is a master. How can you compare? Stop daydreaming and just focus on selling a few more instruments."

Dai Mao sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly.

After Wu Fan dropped Liu Tingting off at the hotel entrance, he didn't want to go up. He had just had a passionate night with Zhou Ruyan and wasn't really in the mood.

However, Liu Tingting became persistent: "Wu Fan, you have to come up and stay with me for a while, or I'll break up with you."

Wu Fan pinched her little face and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Liu Tingting said with a shy, flushed face, "I was thinking of reliving it, is that not allowed?"

After she finished speaking, she gave Wu Fan a seductive wink.

At this moment, she had become very dependent on Wu Fan's love.

She compared her former husband with Wu Fan and found they were completely on different levels.

No matter how you looked at it, being with Wu Fan was much more enjoyable.

Why couldn't she change herself? There was nothing wrong with the person she liked before, but it certainly wasn't entirely right either.

She was now profoundly experiencing the joy of being a woman.

She felt that women should be united with men; this was a matter of course and the foundation of human reproduction.

Wu Fan looked at her expectant face and could only get out of the car and go to her room... ~ ~ ... ~ ~ ... ~ ~ ... The next day ... ~ ~

"Where do you want to eat?"

Liu Tingting shook her head and said, "Nowhere..."

Wu Fan lightly tapped her head, "Do you want to eat grilled fish?"

Liu Tingting hesitated and said, "Okay."

Morning!

Wu Fan couldn't resist... Over an hour later, the two finally walked into the grilled fish restaurant.

Liu Tingting ordered a spicy one, which made Wu Fan quite breathless.

But the taste was indeed very good.

He originally wanted to take Liu Tingting out for a good spending spree, but then he checked the time; the Company's annual meeting was about to start, so he could only send her back to the hotel.

The wedding banquet hall of Haidao Grand Hotel was a place of sorrow for Wu Fan.

It was where he and Liu Yue got married back then.

How happy he was that day.

He even felt he was the happiest man in the world; this woman he deeply loved had finally become his wife, his lifelong partner.

But he never imagined that it was just the beginning of his pain.

Their marriage lasted just over a year before they went their separate ways.

There was no happiness to speak of in their married life.

In Liu Yue's eyes, Wu Fan was just a simp, a good-for-nothing who, no matter how hard he tried, could never impress her... But why did she agree to marry him then?

Why didn't she marry Han Li at that time?

Wu Fan was utterly perplexed.

As Wu Fan stepped into the hall, scenes from the past replayed, like sharp swords, piercing his heart.

He stopped, closed his eyes, and let out a heavy breath.

He secretly resolved that the balance in his China Construction Bank card must at least exceed one hundred million.

Although he had the consumption cashback system, Han Li's Zhengda Group reportedly had assets worth tens of billions.

To bring him down and take over his Company, it would be difficult without a principal of hundreds of millions.

He needed to constantly strive to acquire money, obtain skill books to strengthen himself, and improve himself.

He believed that in the near future, he would definitely bring down Zhengda Group and then establish a vast business empire.

This was a crazy and grand dream.

"Wu Fan, you're here."

A clear voice interrupted his thoughts...
