Although the man spoke righteously, seeming to want to shield Chen Fan from implicating everyone, any discerning eye could see that he was deliberately trying to humiliate Chen Fan in front of this crowd.
However, the man was unaware that in Chen Fan's eyes, his actions were no different from those of a clown.
"Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?" Chen Fan glanced at the man and asked.
Seeing Chen Fan dare to act so brazenly, the man quickly turned to Yu Yong, "Brother Yu, look at how arrogant this kid is. He clearly doesn't respect you or any of these brothers. People like him need a good lesson! Otherwise, he'll never learn."
After speaking, he smugly glanced at Chen Fan, believing that offending these people meant Chen Fan was doomed.
"Kid, you're truly audacious. I wonder who gave you the courage to be so arrogant in front of us," Yu Yong sneered, looking at Chen Fan and questioning him.
"You're not qualified to know," Chen Fan replied indifferently.
Hearing Chen Fan's response, the employees who didn't know him were all surprised.
Even as ordinary office workers, they knew Liang Chao's name. Did that kid not know? To be so arrogant at a time like this was no different than seeking death.
"Hahahaha!" Yu Yong couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He then pointed at Chen Fan and said, "Kid, because you're so tough, I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and lick all our brothers' shoes, and I'll let you all leave. Otherwise, when our Brother Chao arrives later, it won't be as simple as licking shoes."
Towards the end, a cold glint flashed in Yu Yong's eyes, clearly intending to intimidate Chen Fan.
Upon hearing this, the man's face lit up with excitement. He pointed at Chen Fan and said, "Kid, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and lick Brother Yu's shoes! This is Brother Yu's magnanimous offer. Don't be ungrateful."
The man was eager to see Chen Fan humiliated and kept urging him on.
Ma Jun finally couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up and walked directly in front of the man.
"Slap!"
A resounding slap landed on the man's face.
"Ma Jun! You dare hit me?!" The man clutched his face in disbelief, staring at Ma Jun.
"Damn it, can't you hear what Brother Fan said? You have no right to speak! If you dare spout more nonsense, I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"
"You, you! Fine, you've got guts, Ma Jun, you just wait. When we get back to the company, you'll be the first one I fire!"
"Fire me? Heh, Vice President, you should worry more about your own fate," Ma Jun said dismissively.
Yu Yong, who had been watching the scene, chuckled mockingly and turned his gaze back to Chen Fan. "Kid, make your decision quickly. Don't keep my brothers waiting."
Saying this, Yu Yong was the first to extend his foot.
The other youths followed suit, looking at Chen Fan with disdain, awaiting his "friendly" service.
"Then let's wait for your Brother Chao to come. I'd like to ask him if he's been ignoring the instructions Big Xiong gave out," Chen Fan's cold voice rang out.
"Waiting for our Brother Chao? Kid, you? You think you're worthy of seeing our Brother Chao?" Yu Yong sneered.
Chen Fan ignored Yu Yong and took out his phone, dialing a number.
"Oh ho, this kid is going to call for backup too," Xiao He pointed at Chen Fan and said mockingly.
"Sometimes people just refuse to shed tears until they see the coffin. I'd like to see who he can call and how desperate he'll look later," Yu Yong said contemptuously.
"Five minutes, at the Shenghua Hotel banquet hall." With just a few brief words, Chen Fan hung up the phone.
This scene left Yu Yong and the others stunned.
"Kid, is that it? You didn't even tell us how many people we have here. Don't let the person you called get scared and wet their pants when they see us!"
"Hahahaha!"
A wave of laughter erupted from the youths at the scene.
"I say, this kid didn't even make a call. He's just trying to buy time," Xiao He guessed directly.
"That's got to be it. Kid, you want to show off, but you don't even look at the occasion or the people involved. Brother Yu is Brother Chao's subordinate. Who is Brother Chao? He's the overlord of Jiangcheng's underworld. No one in Jiangcheng dares to oppose Brother Chao. It doesn't matter who you call!" The vice president, who had heard Chen Fan on the phone, continued to mock him.
However, when he saw Ma Jun's gaze and his restless hands, he quickly shut his mouth.
"I'll give you five minutes. I want to see who you can call," Yu Yong said, crossing his arms and mockingly checking the time.
"Eat," Chen Fan said to Qin Shuran and the others, instructing them.
Most of the people at this table knew Chen Fan's true identity and that he was not ordinary, so they had nothing to fear.
Upon receiving Chen Fan's instruction, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat, completely ignoring Yu Yong and his group standing nearby.
Seeing their leader eating as if nothing were wrong, the other employees had nothing to fear and also picked up their chopsticks.
Smelling the fragrant food and watching the people in front of them enjoy the delicacies.
The stomachs of the youths, who had been busy all day, began to protest.
"Damn it, Brother Yu, these dogs are drooling over our food!" Xiao He rubbed his hungry stomach and said indignantly to Yu Yong beside him.
Yu Yong's expression had also turned extremely grim. He checked the time, "Two minutes left. I'd like to see if this kid still has an appetite later!"
The man standing nearby wanted to persuade Sun Xiao to leave with them, but Sun Xiao completely ignored him.
At this very moment, the banquet hall doors were pushed open once again.
Since many people at the scene wanted to know who Chen Fan had called earlier, when they saw the door open, all eyes turned towards the entrance.
"It's Brother Chao!" Xiao He couldn't help but shout excitedly upon seeing the newcomer.
The person who arrived was none other than Liang Chao, the current overlord of Jiangcheng's underworld.
Checking the time, exactly five minutes had passed. Yu Yong's face displayed a cold smile, and he looked at Chen Fan, asking, "Kid, it's been five minutes. Our Brother Chao is here. I'd like to ask, where is the person you called? Don't tell me they're afraid to come."
Everyone looked at Chen Fan with cold smiles.
The vice president, seeing Liang Chao arrive, no longer feared Ma Jun and smugly looked at Chen Fan, "Kid, Brother Yu is asking you a question. Where's the person you called? Or perhaps, the person you called just now was Brother Chao?"
Chen Fan, however, nodded slightly, "I didn't expect you to be so slow-witted. That's right, the person I called just now was him."
