Supreme Hidden Dragon in the City
Chapter 272 Press Conference

Chapter 272: Chapter 272 Press Conference

In front of the only four-star hotel in Pingyun County.

A stage for the press conference had already been set up here.

Quite a few journalists had arrived early, with their equipment ready, preparing to cover the upcoming press conference.

Many people had already gathered at the site. After all, for many, the chance of a large company like Qingfan Pharmaceuticals opening a branch office was a rare opportunity for development. Therefore, regardless of success, they would still come to join in the excitement.

Jiang Ning was busy at that moment, arranging the venue for the event.

After the incident with the villa key last time, Sir Feng’s attitude had become much colder towards her. Many tasks had been assigned to others, and she hadn’t even seen Sir Feng’s face, let alone inquire about his relationship with Chen Fan.

Jiang Ning had been gloomy for several days, blaming Chen Fan for her being neglected by Sir Feng. If it hadn’t been for him, she wouldn’t have been given the cold shoulder.

And in her heart, she firmly believed that Chen Fan was just lucky to have caught Sir Feng’s eye. As for the important figure Sir Feng mentioned that day, she was certain it wasn’t Chen Fan.

It wasn’t until yesterday that Sir Feng informed her he needed people for the press conference of the Qingfan Pharmaceuticals branch, and he wanted her help. She dared not neglect this task and came early, hoping to make a good impression and regain Sir Feng’s favor.

These past few days, the news about the Qingfan Pharmaceuticals branch had spread all over Pingyun County, creating quite a stir. She also took the initiative to learn more about Qingfan Pharmaceuticals and found out it was a giant company from the provincial city, with substantial influence. Moreover, rumors had it that the company’s behind-the-scenes boss was very young, only around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old.

"If only I could catch the eye of this boss of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals, then I wouldn’t have to cater to Sir Feng’s moods in the future." Jiang Ning talked to herself.

At that moment, Chen Fan and Sun Yuze arrived at the venue.

Sun Yuze asked Chen Fan, "Chen Fan, why did you bring me to this press conference? I know that the Qingfan Pharmaceuticals branch is a huge opportunity, and I’d like a piece of the pie, but I’m well aware of my own limitations. We’re not in line for such good fortune here. And you mentioned a surprise for me today, what’s that surprise?"

Chen Fan said with a smile, "A surprise wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you about it in advance."

Jiang Ning saw the two of them, paused for a moment, then walked over with her head held high and asked, "What are you two doing here?"

Chen Fan looked at her with a smile and replied, "Why? Can’t we be here?"

Seeing Chen Fan smile made Jiang Ning so annoyed she couldn’t help but say, "Chen Fan, it seems you still haven’t come to a clear understanding of your own status. You just got lucky and won Sir Feng’s favor. Do you really think you can get a share of the Qingfan Pharmaceuticals branch office?"

Chen Fan sighed and said, "Could you not talk to me with the tone of a leader lecturing their subordinate every time you see me?"

Jiang Ning snorted, "I’m doing this as a friend, helping you see the reality. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t even bother."

Sun Yuze interjected, "Jiang Ning, I think you’re really underestimating Chen Fan. Do you know that day we went to Antique Street, Chen Fan didn’t even blink an eye before buying a painting worth three million. Don’t always look down on him; he’s pretty impressive now."

Jiang Ning was completely unconvinced, "Please, don’t bother defending him here. I’ve made my stance very clear. I’ve long since lost any interest in him, and your attempts at matchmaking are pointless!"

Sun Yuze was somewhat anxious, "You... "

Chen Fan gestured with his hand, "Alright, don’t argue with her. Some people will never believe, no matter what you say."

Jiang Ning rolled her eyes and said, "Fine, I’ve got work to do. The big boss of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals will give a speech on stage later. There are going to be important people here today; you two be careful not to offend anyone."

After saying that, she turned and walked away.

Sun Yuze looked on helplessly and said, "Jiang Ning has become quite obstinate now. Often because she is Sir Feng’s assistant, she doesn’t listen to anyone else."

Chen Fan smiled, "It’s normal for people’s understanding to have limitations."

Sun Yuze looked at Chen Fan and suddenly asked, "Chen Fan, now that you’re so impressive, can you still fancy Jiang Ning? Not to mention anything else, Jiang Ning’s face and figure are both top-notch."

Chen Fan waved his hand, "What are you thinking, I’ve already got someone in my heart."

Sun Yuze, with a gossipy look, asked, "Really? What does she look like? Show me."

Unable to resist his childhood friend’s curiosity, Chen Fan reluctantly took out his phone, found Su Qingyan’s photo, and showed it to Sun Yuze.

When Sun Yuze saw the photo, he was stunned and said, "My goodness, Chen Fan, you’re not pulling my leg, are you? She’s simply a goddess; you sure this isn’t a photo you found on the internet?"

Chen Fan punched Sun Yuze and said with a laugh, "Why would I fool you? We’re already in a relationship, and moreover..."

"Moreover what?" Sun Yuze hurriedly asked.

Chen Fan smirked and said, "I’ve already successfully achieved a ’first blood’."

Sun Yuze’s eyes widened, then he gave Chen Fan a thumbs-up and said, "You’re really something, you’re going to make me die of envy."

Chen Fan laughed heartily and said, "Alright, let’s not talk about this, the press conference should be starting soon."

At that time, Chen Deshou had arrived at the hotel entrance for the event, accompanied by Chen Junhao and other members of the Chen Family.

When Chen Fan saw them, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked over to them.

"Grandfather, did you ever get someone to authenticate that painting I gave you? Do you now know whether my gift was genuine or fake?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.

Chen Deshou, seeing Chen Fan and hearing his words, immediately looked displeased.

Seeing him like this, Chen Fan knew they had figured out his painting was real.

"Regardless of whether your painting is real or fake, it can’t change the fact that I’ve expelled you from the Chen family. Chen Fan, no matter how capable you are, I don’t acknowledge you as my grandson, and you’ll never be a part of the Chen family!" Chen Deshou said coldly.

Chen Fan sneered and said, "Sorry, but I’m not seeking your approval either."

Chen Junhao scoffed and said, "You being able to attend today’s press conference must mean you know what Qingfan Pharmaceuticals is all about. Let me tell you, my Chen family is determined to win the construction project for the Qingfan Pharmaceuticals subsidiary. As long as we secure this project, the Chen family will soar to new heights, and by then, we will be out of your reach!"

Many from the Chen family agreed with him.

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Is that so? I think you’re being too naive, but I wish you good luck anyway."

Chen Junhao looked down on him, "I think you’re just jealous of my Chen family; that’s all the ability you have."

Chen Fan smiled and said nothing, then turned and walked over to Sun Yuze.

Before long, it was time for the press conference to begin.

Lu Jinyuan walked up to the stage, accompanied by Sir Feng.

Immediately, everyone quieted down.

Lu Jinyuan scanned the crowd, nodded slightly after he saw Chen Fan had arrived, and then introduced Qingfan Pharmaceuticals through the microphone, giving a fairly official speech in the process.

After finishing his speech, he said with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, what I just said was merely to break the ice. In fact, the owner of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals is also here at the event today. Let’s welcome him to the stage to say a few words!"
