Guan Yuanzheng was truly on pins and needles.
The moment Chen Fan appeared, he became nervous.
When Fang Qiong re-entered, he realized the relationship between Chen Fan and Fang Qiong, and broke out in a cold sweat.
If he had known Chen Fan fancied Fang Qiong, a hundred more guts wouldn't have dared to lay a hand on her!
He had been present at the Nine-Five Club when Chen Fan made Zuo Tiance spit blood.
He was one of the onlookers.
At the time, there was much discussion about Chen Fan among the surrounding crowd, which is how he learned of Chen Fan's identity.
Mr. Long, the God of War of the army, the eldest young master of the Chen family… no matter which identity, he, a mere young master, could not afford to offend.
His backing, the Guan family, was considered a prominent family in the capital, but so what? In front of Chen Fan, they were not even worth a finger's worth.
Not to mention anything else, the power and influence of the Chen family alone could crush his Guan family effortlessly.
At that time, he hadn't noticed that Fang Qiong was with Chen Fan… After Chen Fan defeated Zuo Tiance, he walked directly out of the gym, and there was no way to discern any connection between them.
How could he have known that Fang Qiong had climbed up such a sky-high connection?
On this cold day, the heating in the office was not turned up particularly high, but Guan Yuanzheng’s forehead was still sweating profusely.
Seeing General Manager Xiong look at him, he had no time to pay attention.
Unexpectedly, as General Manager Xiong responded, Chen Fan's calm gaze also fell on him.
"Mr… Mr. Chen!"
Wiping his sweat, Guan Yuanzheng spoke hoarsely, forcing a smile and saying, "What a coincidence, I never expected to see Mr. Chen here again. My name is Guan Yuanzheng. It is my honor to meet you, Mr. Chen!"
He was extremely guilty, yet he looked on with anticipation, hoping for a response from Chen Fan.
He harbored a sliver of hope that Chen Fan would not hold it against him too much and would let him off lightly; that would be a blessing.
Looking at Guan Yuanzheng's cautious demeanor, General Manager Xiong was greatly shocked.
Young Master Guan was already a formidable figure in their eyes, yet he was so deferential in front of this Mr. Chen.
All doubts vanished, and while they were shocked, they were also suddenly delighted.
For their company's development, it was undoubtedly the best thing for one of their artists to have connections with such an influential figure.
Of course, at this moment, Sister Xu was extremely anxious, and her face had become panicked.
Just now, she had scolded Fang Qiong severely in front of Chen Fan and had been extremely impolite to Chen Fan.
Only now did she realize she had kicked an iron plate.
She also started to sweat.
Though she had yelled and pushed Fang Qiong around in front of her, she was merely a trivial agent in the industry. Besides Fang Qiong, she only managed one or two minor celebrities of the second or third tier.
In front of a young master like Young Master Guan, she tried her best to curry favor. In front of the even higher-ranking Chen Fan, she was nothing.
Fang Qiong's feelings became even more complicated.
This was the benefit of having a backer, a patron.
In the entertainment industry, having a backer not only meant no one dared to bully you, but you could also gain more resources, and becoming famous would not be difficult.
Chen Fan looked at Guan Yuanzheng indifferently, not responding.
"Mr… Mr. Chen!"
Guan Yuanzheng's forehead grew sweatier.
Chen Fan picked up the tea that Hua Xiao had finally brewed and took a sip, then suddenly slammed the cup down.
The crisp "snap" made Guan Yuanzheng's heart tremble, and he almost slid off his chair.
He had personally witnessed Chen Fan's power and knew how terrifying his strength was.
It could be said that for Chen Fan to take his life would only be a matter of moving his fingers.
And taking his life would not be too troublesome for someone of Chen Fan's status and position.
"Chen…" Guan Yuanzheng was covered in cold sweat.
Seeing this, General Manager Xiong was stunned and a little confused about the situation.
"Young Master Guan, were you trying to make a move on Fang Qiong?"
Chen Fan's voice became indifferent and cold.
Guan Yuanzheng's body trembled, and he said with a dry throat, "No… I wouldn't dare."
"You wouldn't dare?"
Chen Fan sneered, "If you didn't dare, why would you chase her to her company?"
"If I hadn't come, would you have used this General Manager Xiong to make her go with you, spend the night with you, and play with her as you pleased?"
"If she refused, would you have blacklisted her, shelved her, or simply forced yourself upon her?"
Chen Fan's questioning tone was not particularly cold, just very indifferent.
But such ordinary questioning made Guan Yuanzheng's legs go weak. He knocked over his chair and collapsed onto the floor with a thud.
His companions, who were also wealthy second-generation heirs with considerable status, could no longer sit still and scattered from their seats.
However, they did not help Guan Yuanzheng up. Instead, they moved away, wanting to be as far away from Guan Yuanzheng as possible, lest Chen Fan misunderstand that they were in league with him.
"No…"
Guan Yuanzheng was almost scared to urinate. He quickly said, "No, I… I didn't know. Miss Fang is yours, you… you're her person…"
His plea for help shifted towards Hua Xiao, and he shouted, "It's all her! It's this slut who bewitched me and made me target Miss Fang…"
He shamelessly and without hesitation dragged Hua Xiao down with him, selling her out directly.
"This slut said that Miss Fang pretends to be aloof. She… she couldn't stand it long ago…"
"She also said that Miss Fang has a gentle personality, and even if forced, she wouldn't dare to resist, and she could completely control her…"
"I actually didn't have this intention. It was this woman who incited and bewitched me, which is why I was blinded by lust. Mr. Chen, I, I… it's all Hua Xiao, this slut, who harmed me…"
Amidst Guan Yuanzheng's pleas, with a clatter, Hua Xiao's face turned pale. She overturned her chair and stood up in a panic.
Her face was filled with terror, and she was both enraged and shocked by Guan Yuanzheng's shamelessness and cowardice.
However, what Guan Yuanzheng said was indeed true.
She quickly explained, "Mr… Mr. Chen, no, it's not like that. Guan Yuanzheng is slandering me; it was he who lusted after her…"
She was extremely flustered and quickly explained.
General Manager Xiong stood dumbfounded, shocked by the scene unfolding before him.
This Young Master Guan was from a prominent family and was quite famous in the industry. He had toyed with no small number of female celebrities.
And he was so scared by this mysterious Mr. Chen?
Then, what was Mr. Chen's identity and background?
Fang Qiong watched this scene in a daze, her heart becoming increasingly shocked.
Chen Fan smiled and ignored Hua Xiao. He suddenly raised his hand.
*Slap!*
A crisp slapping sound echoed.
Guan Yuanzheng flew out, his bloody teeth flying out.
Accompanied by a scream, Guan Yuanzheng fell to the ground, unable to get up, and moaned in pain.
The entire office fell silent.
Chen Fan clapped his hands and said, "If you are driven by lust, then you are driven by lust. Pushing it all onto one woman, do you even qualify as a man?"
Hua Xiao was petrified.
Everyone else was shocked beyond comprehension.
Only Guan Yuanzheng's groans remained in the room, and no one dared to help him.
Chen Fan had indeed held back; otherwise, with a little more force, he could have slapped Guan Yuanzheng to death.
Guan Yuanzheng, in unbearable pain, rolled over and struggled to get up. He looked at Chen Fan, not daring to resent him, and pleaded, "Mr… Mr. Chen, spare my life…"
Chen Fan sneered and said, "No need to be nervous. It's just being driven by lust. I'm not an unreasonable person, I won't kill you."
Guan Yuanzheng, clutching his face, flinched and felt a wave of relief.
Having witnessed Chen Fan's might in his fight with Zuo Tiance, he truly feared that Chen Fan would kill him with a raised hand.
Now that Chen Fan said this, his ultimate fear finally dissipated, and a sense of relief welled up from within him.
Of course, the intense pain also made him feel like he was enduring hell.
