A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 74

Faced with her demand, Ye Fan did not try to negotiate. He decided to just do her the favor as thanks for the loan.

"Let me go buy something first. Once I am done with my shopping, I will return. Don't worry, I am not going to run away. I do have some integrity, you know?"

"But I don't need that much. Two hundred will be enough."

Ye Fan was afraid that the shops might be closed if he went too late. So he wanted to purchase the washboard first, before coming in to work.

At first, Chen Nan had not wanted to let Ye Fan go. But since he only took two hundred from the two thousand she had offered, she was a little surprised. In the past, her father's poor relatives had always asked for more money, not less. If she had given them two thousand, they would ask for ten times the amount.

This poor relative is different from the others.

Chen Nan's dislike for Ye Fan lessened a little. In the end, she agreed to let Ye Fan finish his shopping before returning to work.

Vroom~

Suddenly, a high-pitched roar drifted to them from somewhere far away.

Under the moonlight, a Maybach sped toward the restaurant like a bolt of black lightning.

Screech~

Just as it looked like it was about to crash into Ye Fan and Chen Nan, the vehicle swerved spectacularly.

Its movement was crisp, like that of a swordsman bisecting a stream of water. As the car executed a perfect drift, the orange beams from the tail lights drew a beautiful arc in the air. Finally, the Maybach came to a steady stop before Chen Nan and Ye Fan.

A door opened.

And a suited man wearing sunglasses stepped out of the vehicle.

The yellow lights of the street lamps gave his bronze colored skin a metallic sheen, and provided a powerful visual impact. Under the suit, his vigorous muscles bulged and looked ready to rip the restraining clothes to shreds.

It seemed Chen Nan was weak against muscle-bound hunks like him. She looked like she had gone into heat, the moment she saw him.

"Handsome!” she blurted out unconsciously.

When Ye Fan heard this, the corner of his eye started twitching.

Just as expected, women were a group who played double standards. Earlier, she had been acting like an aloof and beautiful CEO, and glaring her workers into obedience with her icy cold look.

And now, she had turned into a fan girl in front of the muscle-bound hunk.

But Chen Nan was just exhibiting the youthful exuberance that was normal for girls her age.

After all, she was just a young girl, not older than twenty.

The man pulled down his sunglasses, tilted his head to look and then directed a question to Chen Nan.

"Is this the Shengtian Restaurant?” he asked in a deep voice.

Chen Nan nodded her head hurriedly and asked, "You are?"

Instead of answering, the man sank his qi into his dantian, faced the direction of the restaurant and yelled, "The Boxing King Huo Dun is here! The person who has invited me here tonight, get out here and welcome me!"

"...get out here and welcome me-"

Boom-

Huo Dun truly lived up to his title. He had managed to demonstrate the power of the Boxing King with just a shout.

A strong wind started to blow and stir up the area.

"You... You are the Boxing King Huo Dun?"

Chen Nan was taken aback. The VIP she had been waiting for was finally here.

"Quick, the welcoming party-"

"Come out here and welcome Mr. Huo~"

Chen Nan's job tonight was to receive Huo Dun. Now that the VIP himself was here, it was time for her to get busy.

Meanwhile, inside the VIP room in Shengtian Restaurant, Chen Ao and his associates were still having their meeting. When they heard the shout, however, their expressions changed.

"Quick! The Boxing King is here!" "Let us go down to welcome him~"

A clamor broke out in the room.

All at once, the group inside the restaurant started moving. Chen Ao led the leaders of Jiangdong downstairs to welcome the VIP.

"Welcome, Mr. Huo!"

"Welcome, Mr. Huo~"

Just then, both sides of the path were filled with restaurant employees. The ladies were wearing cheongsams while the male employees were wearing the red uniforms provided by the restaurant.

All the greeters bowed at the waist to welcome Huo Dun and, under their gaze, the Boxing King stepped onto the red carpet. Accompanied by Chen Ao and his associates, Huo Dun walked proudly up to the restaurant.

"Boxing King, Huo Dun?"

Ye Fan, who was standing among the welcoming party, shook his head and smiled.

He thought that Huo Dun was putting on airs. They still didn't know if the Boxing King was worth his salt and, yet, he had insisted on receiving a personal welcome from the leaders of Jiangdong.

Even he had not received such a welcome.

"Miss Chen, since the welcoming ceremony is already over, can I go do my shopping now?" Ye Fan asked with an awkward smile.

Just now, Ye Fan had not wanted to participate in the welcoming ceremony. But unexpectedly, Chen Nan had shanghaied him into becoming one of the greeters.

"Okay okay okay. Just go and return as soon as possible." Chen Nan waved her hand dismissively and let Ye Fan go. It seemed she was going to give him a task upon his return.

It didn't take long for Ye Fan to complete his errand and, soon, he returned with his shopping in a large plastic bag.

When she spotted him, Chen Nan lashed out at Ye Fan again. "Stop dilly-dallying! Come on, hurry up!"

"Go to the VIP room and serve tea to the guests."

"Be careful and don't mess up. Everybody here is a VIP. Anyone in there can just squash you with a finger."

Since Chen Nan was making Ye Fan serve tea to the guests, it looked like she was really using him as a laborer.
