Chapter 28: Sorry, Not Going to Suck Up to You Today
Under the flashing lights of the bar, some people were shouting while others were there just for company. Today, Zheng Qiang’s purpose for coming here was simple: to show respect and spend some money as a gesture of reconciliation.
Chen Fan’s medicinal formula had worked wonders. Many customers had become regulars because of it. While their bodies were being rejuvenated, they were also having fun, so naturally, they were willing to spend more.
Qincheng was not short of wealthy people, and this city was destined to grow and prosper.
Jin Lan crossed her legs, sipping on some imported wine and nibbling on some fruit, simply watching the commotion.
Meanwhile, Chen Fan was sandwiched between two women, holding a glass in each hand and drinking away.
In the novel The Return of the War God, Chen Fan’s character had always been present, with an underlying hidden plotline.
One part of it was the relationship between Lin Qingyue and Ye Aotian, but another was Chen Fan’s transformation.
Chen Fan was indeed a lapping dog, but even when Lin Qingyue ended up with Ye Aotian, Chen Fan remained the same, never changing his devotion. However, he would also interact with other women, though he usually just toyed with them.
Moreover, he treated them quite cruelly. In short, he didn’t see these women as people, but rather as tools to vent his frustration. Despite this, Chen Fan’s love for Lin Qingyue never wavered. But that love slowly became twisted, leading to his eventual outburst and his antagonistic story against the protagonist.
After the Qincheng arc, the plot would expand to larger cities, with an even grander scope. In the end, Chen Fan would essentially become a stepping stone for Ye Aotian’s rise.
Otherwise, how could the story progress?
Glancing at Jin Lan on one side and Li Long on the other, Chen Fan sighed helplessly. It seemed he needed to fully embrace his role as the rich, playboy villain. Otherwise, how could he live up to his role as the antagonist?
His hands didn’t stay idle. If you’re supposed to grope, then go for it. Don’t hesitate. And with that, it was done.
“Oh my, brother, you’re so naughty.”
“Hahaha, let’s drink! Tonight, we won’t leave until we’re drunk.”
Li Long watched with satisfaction. Chen Fan was indeed as rumored—a useless rich second generation who relied on his family for everything. But there wasn’t much to be jealous or resentful about. Some people were just born into privilege, and there was nothing to blame them for.
Moreover, Chen Fan’s personality suited him. The formula he brought was very useful.
Li Long didn’t believe for a second that Chen Fan had come up with the formula himself. If Chen Fan had really developed it, it would be earth-shattering.
Why would he still need to hang around in Qincheng? Just using that formula as a stepping stone, he could climb the ranks in no time.
Given his father’s influence, it wasn’t impossible for him to surpass his father’s status in the future.
In fact, Li Long was only worried that Chen Fan wouldn’t play along. As long as Chen Fan enjoyed himself, Li Long could relax. If Chen Fan turned out to be a fellow lover of pleasures, then they were on the same page.
As for Chen Fan being a lapping dog, so what? Every man had a woman he especially loved. But for someone with Chen Fan’s status, being single wasn’t really an option.
Jin Lan smiled and asked, “Are you having fun?”
“Of course, I am. Thanks, Sister Jin.”
Jin Lan continued, “Why do I feel like you’re holding back? What’s the matter? Are you still hung up on Lin Qingyue? Or is it something else?”
Damn it! I’ve already gone this far, what more do you want from me? Don’t tell me you think I’m interested in you. You’re one of the female leads—why would I be interested in you? Even if you are my type, I still have to complete my mission.
Jin Lan remained silent for a moment, then asked, “Among you girls, who still has their first time?”
One of the girls shyly raised her hand.
Jin Lan glanced over and waved her hand, gesturing for Li Long to bring some cash.
Li Long handed the money to Jin Lan, who said, “Here’s 50,000 yuan. Take him to the restroom in a bit.”
Chen Fan was utterly dumbfounded.
What the hell?!
This is normal, right? If Chen Fan were just a character in the novel and not a transmigrator, this scene would undoubtedly play out. Chen Fan would have gone without a second thought. But now, Chen Fan was in a dilemma. This part of the plot hadn’t appeared yet.
The novel clearly mentioned how many women Chen Fan had slept with.
Those women hadn’t even shown up yet.
“What’s the matter? Are you scared?”
Chen Fan replied, “How could I be? I just don’t like her. She’s not my type—I don’t like skinny girls.”
“Really?”
Chen Fan almost screamed inside. If it weren’t for the sake of completing the plot, I’d be out of here in seconds, believe me or not! Who’s afraid of who? It’s not like I’ve claimed to be some good guy.
Jin Lan seemed a little angry, crossing her legs and tapping the table. She said, “Li Long, it seems your place isn’t up to par.”
In an instant, Chen Fan sobered up.
Li Long jumped in fright.
Damn it, this woman was testing him. The offer for Chen Fan to sleep with a woman was just a ruse. She was actually trying to manipulate Li Long.
It wouldn’t matter if Chen Fan went through with it, because Jin Lan would just find another excuse to corner Li Long.
This was the way of a true leader. At any time, you have to present challenges for the people under you. Only then would they fear and respect you.
“Um … so, should I …?”
Jin Lan said, “You remember the rules I told you, right? You can run casinos, I won’t interfere, and I won’t meddle with debt collection. As long as no one dies, I’ll greenlight as much as I can.”
“But that stuff … don’t touch it. I wasn’t unclear, right?”
Li Long and Zheng Qiang both nodded solemnly. That was a hard and fast rule.
Three things: prostitution, gambling, and drugs.
You could engage in two, but the third was off-limits.
At least it didn’t completely cut off their livelihood.
“But you guys didn’t handle the women situation well. I’m curious, since Chen Fan said he doesn’t like skinny women, is there no one better looking?”
Better looking? Damn it, what’s your taste, Young Master Chen?
Li Long looked at Chen Fan, his eyes pleading for help.
Chen Fan sighed and said, “If you can find Lin Qingyue, that’ll work, but clearly, that’s impossible.”
Li Long sighed in relief, but his heart raced. Big brother, just tell me what you want. If you don’t speak soon, Jin Lan is going to scare me to death.
“Curvy, but not too fat. Height has to be at least 1.75 meters. Everything must be in the right place, and she has to be very attractive.”
This standard … there’s no way that exists, right?
“There is … Young Master Li, we actually do have someone like that.”
?????
Both Chen Fan and Jin Lan were stunned.
Someone like that exists?
