70: Chapter 70 You Made Me Confused About Numbers

"Call... call the police..."

"Yang Fan, you maliciously harmed others. Just wait to rot in a cell."

Yang Fan shrugged his shoulders.

He pointed at Tang Xue.

"My blind classmate, the one who hit people is this one. How can you blame me? You're making things difficult for me. I think you're looking a bit awkward yourself!"

Upon hearing Yang Fan's words, the other party covered their face and sprinted away at full speed. It seemed they were genuinely terrified by Tang Xue's strike.

At that moment, two girls walked over together, nearly colliding with them.

Both of them frowned when they saw the scene.

"Who did this? Is there no law anymore? Do you think this is school? Can you just hit people and get away with it?"

When the crowd saw Ding Ning arrive, they began complaining to her about Yang Fan's actions, as she was a senior executive at a company.

"Senior Ding, it was him."

They said, pointing at Yang Fan.

Ding Ning looked toward Yang Fan, and her mouth gradually dropped open. She never expected to see her in this place!

She walked quickly over to Jiang Lan.

"President Jiang, I didn't expect to see you here! Did you also graduate from the Finance Academy?"

Everyone was dumbfounded. Li Jiaqi's arm didn't even hurt anymore as he watched. He knew Ding Ning; she was a senior executive at a large company with an annual salary of several million.

But what was the situation now? She was being so polite to the female companion Yang Fan had supposedly 'rented'.

An absurd thought arose in his heart—that matter might actually be true.

Ling Wei glanced at Yang Fan; this guy had even learned how to deceive people.

"No, I'm just accompanying my boss for a meal."

Jiang Lan linked her arm with Yang Fan's.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched. Was this a 'proper' boss?

"Boss? Isn't the boss President Ye?"

Countless question marks floated over Ding Ning's head. Wasn't Ye Qingcheng the CEO? She heard she was from the Beijing social circles—could it be that even she wasn't the boss?

"Oh, President Ye also works for my boss."

"I don't want to talk about work here."

Ding Ning sucked in a cold breath and glanced at Yang Fan. Just what kind of background did this guy have?

"Alright, President Jiang. I won't disturb you further."

After saying that, she went directly to sit elsewhere.

As soon as she sat down, many people crowded around to ask her:

"Sister Ding, who is she? I saw you being so polite to her."

"The Vice President of Shikong Capital."

Many people had never heard of it, so they began searching online. When they saw that Shikong Capital had directly crushed Jiahe Auction House by dumping stock, they finally realized who they were.

Moreover, this was an investment company with an unimaginable volume of capital.

Although they usually paid attention to these events, they hadn't known it was this company. Now, not only did they know, but they also met the big boss—who was their classmate!

Ding Ning glanced at Yang Fan. According to what Jiang Lan said, then wasn't he the true owner?

"Who is that man President Jiang is holding onto?"

Ding Ning asked.

"Yang Fan, he's also from our school, a fresh graduate!"

"Holy crap!"

Ding Ning blurted out.

"Yang Fan, I didn't expect you to be so humble. Ding Ning's annual salary is millions, yet the way she looks at you is full of awe. And you still said you only opened a micro-company?"

Ling Wei looked at Yang Fan. She really couldn't get a read on this guy's temperament.

"It's the truth. People who pay a trillion in annual taxes are considered micro-companies, so why can't mine be one?"

Yang Fan spoke as if it were a matter of course.

Ling Wei was speechless. Look at the companies he was comparing himself to—those in the trillion-tax bracket!

"For a moment, I can't tell if you're being humble or just humblebragging."

Yang Fan looked at her and remembered something.

"I'm planning to acquire a few banks recently. Are you interested in quitting your school job to come work for me?"

Yang Fan definitely wasn't doing this because of her beauty and temperament!

After all, Ling Wei had been in the financial circle for a long time; her ability was certainly not an issue, and she had once been a senior financial consultant for many companies.

Ling Wei's mouth slowly widened, and her expression gradually lost its composure.

Acquiring banks? And several of them?

What kind of niche terminology was this?

In Shanghai, if a bank is valued at 6 billion, that would be at least tens of billions.

"The words coming out of your mouth make one feel confused about numbers."

Although Ling Wei was someone who had seen the world, she was still stunned by Yang Fan's tone.

"What is your company's name?"

"Shikong Capital."

Ling Wei now knew why he dared to speak like that. This company was currently a god-like existence in Shanghai.

Collapsing a hundred-billion-level auction house took only a few days. Moreover, since it was an investment company, it was a 'Sugar Daddy' entity that many people wanted investment from.

"Now I know you weren't lying. But how do you plan to handle the matter at hand?"

Ling Wei pointed at Li Jiaqi and the two whose teeth had been knocked out.

"It wasn't me who hit them, so what does it have to do with me?"

Yang Fan shrugged again. After all, bailing someone out was far too simple.

Ling Wei frowned. How could he be so irresponsible?

"With this attitude of yours, I can't work for you."

Yang Fan was speechless. He didn't say he wouldn't handle it; why was she acting like a child?

Yang Fan had no choice but to take out his phone and call Ye Qingcheng, asking her to help resolve it.

It was handled in a short while. It was determined to be a mutual brawl, and it ended with a verbal reconciliation.

The crowd's eyelids jumped as they watched, especially since the explanation given was so detailed and plausible!

Everyone finally understood the terror of having connections.

During the meal, Yang Fan, Jiang Lan, Tang Xue, and Ling Wei sat at one table. Bai Jingtian wanted to come over, but Yang Fan kicked him away.

"Is it okay now? Are you satisfied with the result?"

Yang Fan looked at Ling Wei across from him. He couldn't help but have stray thoughts; she was just too womanly.

Yang Fan thought to himself, 'How am I any different from that scoundrel Cao Cao?'

Tang Xue watched Yang Fan while she ate. She could tell at a glance that Yang Fan had taken a liking to her, which was why he was so eager to get her to come to work.

"You know my situation. I have a daughter, eighteen years old, starting university this year. she's quite a handful, so my time might..."

Ling Wei was a bit hesitant. she also really wanted to go to Yang Fan's place, as the salary would be very high.

"Let your husband take care of her. Speaking of which, I haven't met him yet. What does your husband do?"

Yang Fan had indeed seen Ling Wei's daughter before, but that was back when he was a sophomore. He didn't expect her to be in university already; she was just a little girl back then.

Based on her daughter's age, Ling Wei must have had a child at twenty-two!!!

Ling Wei stopped eating and remained silent for a while, as if lost in some memory.

She went back to her university days, back to that playground filled with daily laughter.

Back to when he got the slot to study abroad and left without looking back.

"Her father hasn't seen her since she was born. When I just graduated from university, her father went abroad and hasn't returned since."

Yang Fan swallowed hard. What kind of man could leave such a beauty behind to go study abroad by himself?

It was simply a waste of God's gifts.

"He didn't know you gave birth to his child?"

"He knew. He felt the air abroad was fresher than at home and told me to send the child to an orphanage."

Yang Fan, Jiang Lan, and Tang Xue looked at each other in shock. Was this really something a human could do?
