"Goodbye, Nannan. Be good and listen to your teacher at kindergarten. Uncle will pick you up after school!"
Inside the best private kindergarten in Hangjiang, Chen Fan crouched down and gently squeezed Nannan's little face, cautioning her.
"Goodbye, Uncle."
Nannan waved goodbye to Chen Fan with reluctance and worry, yet anticipation for the kindergarten. "Don't forget about me, Uncle. Nannan will be scared!"
"How could I?" Chen Fan chuckled. "Uncle will pick you up when school is out."
"Mhm!"
Nannan nodded seriously.
Chen Fan stood up and said to a young woman behind Nannan, "Teacher Yun, I'll be counting on you!"
"Mr. Chen, rest assured, we will contact you promptly if anything arises!" Teacher Yun replied, then took Nannan's hand and said gently, "Siyang, let's go in. Say goodbye to your uncle!"
"Goodbye, Uncle!"
Little Nannan waved goodbye obediently.
Then, led by the teacher, she walked into the kindergarten, looking back step by step.
Only after Nannan disappeared into the building did Chen Fan turn around, shaking his head and chuckling, "I actually feel a little bit of a sense of loss."
Jiang Tiansheng, an experienced man, sighed with emotion, "Yes, watching a child go to school, it feels like you're no longer as important."
"Alright, this matter is handled well. Let's go, I'll pick you up in the afternoon!"
The kindergarten was arranged by Jiang Tiansheng, and its conditions were excellent. Chen Fan was quite satisfied with it.
Nannan was already of school age, so she couldn't be kept at home forever.
"Mr. Chen, when you need to go, just notify me, and I'll come to pick her up," Jiang Tiansheng added.
Chen Fan nodded gently.
Although Jiang Tiansheng's actions were somewhat self-serving, he was genuinely good to little Nannan, and she was quite fond of this uncle.
Jiang Tiansheng had neglected his family in his youth for the sake of his career, and his children were not close to him. Nannan's appearance seemed to offer him a chance for redemption, and he was sincerely kind to her.
Seeing that Chen Fan did not refuse, Jiang Tiansheng couldn't help but feel surprised.
The more he did for Mr. Long, the closer his relationship with Mr. Long would become, and the more he would receive in the future.
Just as he had become the chairman of Shengshi overnight, perhaps when Mr. Long left Hangjiang, he would even allow him to join the Long Teng Group! Dafeng Novel Network
As they walked out of the gate, Jiang Tiansheng suddenly remembered something and said, "Many people have been asking me about Mr. Long these past two days."
"Mm."
Chen Fan nodded slightly, knowing that Jiang Tiansheng wouldn't reveal anything on such matters.
"The most notable among them are people from the Xu family in Xiling and the Zhong family in Jinling!" Jiang Tiansheng continued. "You should know about the Xu family in Xiling; they are the in-laws of the Shao family from last time."
Chen Fan got into the car and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I made some discreet inquiries, and it seems they have no intention of avenging the Shao family. Such ancient clans are strictly disciplined. I imagine they are aware of what happened at the auction, and they won't cause trouble."
"Good that they're sensible," Chen Fan remarked casually.
"As for the people from the Zhong family..." Jiang Tiansheng said with a smile, "They seem to want to visit you and use you to connect with Mr. Long."
Chen Fan, indifferent to such matters, changed the subject. "Are you planning to invest in Xiao Xuan's family tea factory?"
"The Xiao family's tea factory is simply poorly managed. Large tracts of tea mountains are valuable assets. Coupled with the surrounding tea mountains, if the factory hires more staff and expands its scale, it can be profitable," Jiang Tiansheng explained. "Also, I tasted the tea, and a batch of it has a very good flavor. It can be made into high-end tea. Would you like me to send some to Mr. Chen?"
Chen Fan shook his head. He was just asking.
After all, Xiao Xuan had acted as his companion at the banquet and helped him bid, so he had to inquire.
After a few more exchanges, Chen Fan drove back to Xiangshan Tanfu.
Halfway there, at a traffic light, a Lamborghini drove up from behind and stopped to the side.
The driver was a young woman wearing sunglasses. She turned her head and saw Chen Fan in the car, then suddenly honked her horn.
Chen Fan turned his head to look and was slightly startled.
The woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a familiar face. She gave Chen Fan the middle finger and grinned, "Yo, Chen Fan, you trash can actually drive a BMW? Did the sun rise in the west?"
This woman was none other than Su Yuxin.
Last time, she had impersonated Chen Fan with Wang Dongdong, playing tricks on the Su family and Young Master Jiang, even swindling Jiang Shaolong out of a million yuan. After a period of absence, she had reappeared.
In the passenger seat of her car sat another young woman, heavily made up and dressed boldly. She looked like a close friend of Su Yuxin.
Chen Fan was somewhat surprised that Su Yuxin could now drive such a luxury car. However, it was only a slight surprise. He looked away and ignored her.
Seeing that Chen Fan didn't respond, Su Yuxin honked again and shouted, "Chen Fan, is that car also owned by a villa resident? It seems the treatment for being someone's dog is quite good!"
Her friend giggled and also gave Chen Fan the middle finger.
Chen Fan simply rolled up his window.
Seeing that Chen Fan was completely ignoring her, Su Yuxin became even more enraged, honking her horn incessantly, drawing curses from other drivers waiting at the red light.
As the red light turned green, Chen Fan drove past.
Unexpectedly, about three hundred meters down the road, the yellow Lamborghini overtook his car and cut him off.
Chen Fan frowned, tapped his brake, and changed lanes.
"Chen Fan, dare to race me?" Su Yuxin shouted. "Loser is trash!"
Insane!
Only this woman would do something so brainless as street racing in the city.
He turned a deaf ear and simply drove around the Lamborghini, continuing on his way.
But Su Yuxin, still giggling, maneuvered her car closer and cut him off from the front.
After slowing down to let her pass again, a hint of impatience appeared on Chen Fan's face.
"Chen Fan, you really are a coward. You're being pushed around by me, and you still tolerate it. You've been a dog for too long, you can't even stand up straight anymore?" Su Yuxin shouted arrogantly. "Do you know how much this car cost?"
Chen Fan: "..."
Su Yuxin babbled on, "Eight million. You could be a dog your entire life and still not afford a car like this."
"Trash, you'll always be a pathetic loser. Don't talk about my sister, even that bitch Su Yingxue has to dump you!"
Chen Fan accelerated with a blank expression, overtook her, and then slowed down slightly.
A minute later, the roar of engines was heard as Su Yuxin caught up again. After pulling ahead by one lane, she abruptly turned left and cut him off.
Chen Fan sneered, stomped on the accelerator, and rammed directly into the Lamborghini.
