"Boss!" several people respectfully called out to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan waved his hand, "Sit down, everyone. I'm just here to freeload today."
However, Chen Fan soon noticed that Sun Xiao was not present, and there were still two empty seats at their table.
"Where is President Sun?" Chen Fan asked.
"President Sun is rushing over from the company and will be at the hotel shortly," Shi Li replied to Chen Fan.
Just then, the door of the hotel banquet hall opened again, and a handsome man, flanked by a beautiful woman, entered the hall.
"President Sun, please slow down, our seats are in the front." The man's solicitous demeanor immediately drew the attention of many.
These two were Sun Xiao and the newly hired vice president of the company.
Sun Xiao's expression was clearly displeased, as if she found the vice president beside her quite annoying. She quickly walked towards Shi Li's direction.
The man's persistent following behavior caused many present to sneer, and privately, they were calling this vice president a sycophant.
Sun Xiao arrived at the innermost dining table and saw Chen Fan sitting at the head of the table. Her face instantly turned cold, and she said with dissatisfaction, "Who is this? Why is he attending our company dinner?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shuran chuckled behind her hand. She naturally knew who Sun Xiao was referring to.
However, Qin Shuran and Sun Xiao had become close friends by now, so she wouldn't speak up for Chen Fan.
Sun Xiao was so angry for two reasons: first, Chen Fan always neglected the company's affairs, and second, it was because of this vice president who was bothering her. If she hadn't been afraid of causing losses to Chen Fan's company, she would have fired this vice president long ago.
Chen Fan looked helpless, gave a wry smile, and was about to apologize to Sun Xiao.
But before Chen Fan could speak, the handsome man standing beside Sun Xiao spoke first, pointing at Chen Fan and questioning, "Who are you? Who let you in? And you're sitting in President Sun's seat, get up quickly!"
Chen Fan was stunned and glanced at the vice president standing beside Sun Xiao.
"Are you that new vice president?" Chen Fan asked.
"Why should I answer your question? Do you know where you are? Get out now, or I'll call security!" the man shouted at Chen Fan arrogantly.
The man's sudden outburst silenced the entire hall, and many eyes turned towards them.
Chen Fan glanced at Qin Shuran beside him, "This kid is really arrogant."
Qin Shuran smiled without a word.
At this moment, the man noticed Qin Shuran beside Chen Fan. He certainly remembered her; it was Qin Shuran last time who had disrupted his forceful plan.
The man's face darkened, "Ms. Qin, this gathering is an internal company event. I don't think you should be here, should you?"
He mistook Qin Shuran for someone who had come to freeload.
However, the man didn't know that as he was scolding Chen Fan and Qin Shuran, many people were showing expressions of schadenfreude.
Sun Xiao frowned slightly, "She's my best friend, here to eat. Do you have a problem with that?"
Hearing this, the man immediately put on a fawning expression, "No, no, of course I don't have a problem. But they are sitting in your seat, which clearly shows they don't respect you!"
The man still wanted to sow discord.
But his petty scheme made the surrounding people think he was an idiot.
Ma Jun, sitting not far from Chen Fan, wanted to stand up and yell at the man, but Chen Fan directly stopped him and asked the man with a playful tone, "What if I don't leave?"
"Not leave? If you don't leave, I'll call security! Let me tell you, I'm paying for all the employees' meals today. Who are you? Do you have the right to sit here?" The man said dismissively, not taking Chen Fan seriously at all.
Chen Fan, however, smiled calmly and asked, "Then do you believe that not only will I not leave today, but you will be the one leaving."
"Hahaha!" The man burst into laughter.
"What did you just say? You said I'll be the one leaving today?!"
"Kid, if I leave, are you going to pay for today's meal? Do you know how much this meal costs? One hundred thousand yuan! It's probably more than your annual salary."
Ma Jun, seeing the man's expression, couldn't help but laugh. He immediately sat back in his chair.
Because he knew that if Chen Fan said this, he must have already prepared to fire the other party.
"Kid, I'll give you two choices. First, pay for today's meal, and I'll let you stay and eat. Second, get out." The man pointed at Chen Fan and said mockingly.
After saying this domineeringly, the man looked at Sun Xiao.
Seeing Sun Xiao's smug expression, the man's arrogance grew even more, thinking his actions had won Sun Xiao's admiration.
Little did he know, Sun Xiao was just amused by Chen Fan being put on the spot, and he was about to pay the price for his foolish actions.
Chen Fan remained seated calmly, looking up at the man in front of him, "I'll give you two choices. First, resign and leave the company now. Second, get beaten up by me and leave crawling after being fired."
"Pfft!" The man couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
Pointing at Chen Fan, he roared with laughter, "Kid, who the hell do you think you are? Do you think you're the boss of Changsheng? And you want to fire me? Why don't you fly to the sky!"
Ma Jun, sitting beside him, couldn't help but rub his forehead and sigh helplessly. It was the first time he had seen someone so intent on courting death.
Chen Fan sat in the main seat, and no one pointed at Chen Fan. Wasn't that clear enough?
However, Ma Jun wouldn't say anything more. He sat there waiting for the show.
"Bang!"
Just then, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open.
Several young men with dyed hair walked in, making a lot of noise and immediately attracting everyone's attention.
However, seeing the tattoos on these young men's arms and their fierce eyes, no one dared to speak.
"Who's in charge here?" the leading youth asked.
The man standing at the main table saw another group disturbing their company dinner. His face gradually darkened. Especially beside Sun Xiao, to show his manliness, he stepped forward, "I am the vice president of this company. What are you doing here? Don't you see we're having a dinner party? What are the hotel managers doing!"
The young men saw the man and walked towards him.
When the man saw how fierce these people looked, his expression changed slightly, but he still forced himself to ask, "You, what do you want?"
The leading youth pointed around, "We're having a celebration banquet here today. We've booked this banquet hall. We'll pay for your meal, so leave quickly."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
They wondered what kind of celebration banquet these tattooed youths were having, and that they could casually pay for a hundred-thousand-yuan meal. They were truly generous!
