Chapter 275: Chapter 275: From now on, you’ll be my driver

Chen Junhao’s expression froze on his face.

Chen Fan, who was beside him, laughed and said, "County Chief Zhang, you’re mistaken. He’s not my cousin, I have no relation to him whatsoever."

Zhang Chenghe furrowed his brows and questioned, "Mr. Chen, aren’t you a member of the Chen family? I heard that you are the grandson of the Chen family’s elder, which would make Junhao your cousin."

Chen Fan replied, "It used to be the case, but I have been expelled from the Chen family, so now I have nothing to do with the Chen family."

Zhang Chenghe exclaimed, "What! Expelled from the Chen family? Have the members of the Chen family lost their minds?"

Chen Junhao’s face turned an ashen color, and bracing himself, he said, "County Chief Zhang, Chen Fan was expelled from the Chen family because he brought it upon himself. As you mentioned earlier, my competence is exceptional, so promoting me has little to do with having to consider Chen Fan’s face. I will definitely prove my capabilities to you in the future."

Zhang Chenghe appeared contemplative and then spoke, "Junhao, after careful consideration, I’ve decided to assign you a new job."

Chen Junhao brightened up at the prospect of promotion and quickly said, "County Chief, no matter what position you assign me, I will put my heart and soul into it and perform my duties well."

Zhang Chenghe nodded and said, "I’m relieved to hear that. My driver, Wang, will be returning to his hometown soon, and I happen to be in need of a new driver. From now on, you’ll be driving for me."

Chen Junhao was stunned and quickly asked after regaining his composure, "County Chief, didn’t you say you wanted to..."

Zhang Chenghe cut him off, "What? Are you unwilling? Frankly speaking, Junhao, your abilities are quite ordinary, you struggle with handling even trivial matters. I was considering firing you, but I thought about the several years you’ve been working for me and decided to offer you the driver’s job. If you don’t want it, then never mind; you can simply write a resignation letter for me later."

Chen Junhao panicked instantly, quickly saying, "I’m willing, I’m willing. It would be my honor to serve as the county chief’s driver."

Zhang Chenghe nodded, "Alright, then it’s settled. Now, you should leave; a driver doesn’t fit in at these kinds of occasions. I have matters to discuss with Mr. Chen."

Chen Junhao turned to look at Chen Fan, his eyes filled with resentment, and roared inwardly, "Chen Fan, you bastard, ruining my future, you will not die a good death!"

Chen Fan smiled as he glanced at Chen Junhao, then paid him no more attention, going inside with Zhang Chenghe, Sir Feng, Lu Jinyuan, and Sun Yuze to discuss the matter of the branch company.

Zhao Chunlan ran up to Chen Junhao, anxiously asking, "Junhao, did the county chief just say he wants you to be a driver?"

Chen Junhao clenched his teeth and lowered his head, grunting an affirmation.

"You were an assistant before; now you’ve become a driver. How much is the salary for a driver a month?" Zhao Chunlan asked.

Chen Junhao replied grimly, "Three thousand."

Zhao Chunlan immediately wailed, "Oh my dear mother! Three thousand a month can’t even cover the mortgage. How are we supposed to live!?"

Chen Junhao said, "It’s all because of that damned Chen Fan. If it weren’t for him, the county chief wouldn’t have treated me this way. We should have nailed him to the family’s column of shame!"

At this moment, a member of the Chen family spoke up, "Stop making a scene here. The reason you’ve fallen to this state, even the state that the Chen family is in, is all because of the stupid decisions you made against Chen Fan. If you hadn’t messed with Chen Fan, the Chen family would be the ones collaborating with Qingfan Pharmaceuticals now!"

Many members of the Chen family chimed in agreement.

Chen Junhao’s eyes widened in disbelief, "You... how dare you talk to me that way!"

The person retorted coldly, "What’s wrong with speaking to you like this? You were the county chief’s assistant, and we gave you some respect, but now you are just a driver, we are already giving you face by addressing you at all!"

Chen Junhao was filled with frustration, his fists trembling from the grip, but in the end, he could only let out a powerless hum and turned to leave.

After a long time had passed, Chen Fan finished discussing the matters with Zhang Chenghe and the others and reentered the hotel lobby.

Jiang Ning was standing at their exit, looking at Chen Fan with a complex gaze.

Sun Yuze was beaming with joy and said to Jiang Ning with a laugh, "Jiang Ning, I told you Chen Fan was impressive. Now you believe me, don’t you?"

Jiang Ning, her face flushing with shame, then spoke up, "Chen Fan, I’m sorry, I was presumptuous and misunderstood you."

Chen Fan smiled, "It’s alright, we’re all old classmates, if I were to fuss over this, I’d come off as petty."

He then turned his head towards Sir Feng and said, "Sir Feng, Jiang Ning is an old classmate of mine, please take good care of her in the future."

Sir Feng said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, what are you saying? I’ve always treated Jiang Ning like my own little sister. Rest assured, she won’t be at a disadvantage with me."

Jiang Ning wanted to say something more, "Chen Fan, I..."

Chen Fan waved his hand, "Alright, I have things to do, we’ll get in touch when there’s time."

Having said that, he headed towards the hotel.

Jiang Ning watched Chen Fan’s retreating figure, biting her lip tightly. At that moment, she had even fantasized about reigniting an old romance with Chen Fan and speculated whether his opening of a branch in Pingyun County was for her sake.

However, she now understood that in Chen Fan’s heart, all that remained of her was the label "old classmate."

The Chen Fan of today was someone beyond her reach.

For a long while, she could only sigh wistfully and slowly lower her head.

Chen Fan returned to Mingyue Villa, where Wang Suyun greeted him excitedly, "Fan, the news just said you’re the owner of Qingfan Pharmaceuticals, is that true?"

Chen Fan nodded with a smile, "It’s true, Mom."

Wang Suyun touched Chen Fan’s cheek, tears brimming in her eyes, "Our little Fan has truly made something of himself. If your father knew of your achievements today, he would be very happy."

Chen Fan smiled, thinking to himself that his father would probably not think much of his accomplishments, "Mom, our family’s days will get better and better. I will find a way to bring Dad back and then our family can be reunited."

Wang Suyun nodded tenderly, looking at her son with overwhelming joy and murmuring to herself, "Little Fan is so outstanding now, he can’t stay single forever. It’s time to find a good wife for him."

One day later.

Chen Fan appeared in the mountains surrounding Pingyun County.

He followed a narrow path up towards the peak where Di Sha Sect was located.

Not long after, a group of people appeared ahead, with over a dozen bodyguards in suits protecting a young couple as they walked into the mountains.

The young couple was dressed extravagantly, looking like they were the son and daughter of a wealthy family.

Chen Fan was slightly puzzled, "What are these people doing?"

The people turned their attention to Chen Fan as well, showing a wary gaze.

Not wanting to cause any complications, Chen Fan turned and took another path.

About half an hour later, Chen Fan arrived at the foothills of the mountain where Di Sha Sect was located.

There he saw the same group of people he had encountered before.

"Could it be they are also heading to Di Sha Sect?" Chen Fan mused.

The group was also surprised to see Chen Fan.

One girl in particular, who was quite beautiful and obviously a pampered young lady, looked Chen Fan over a few times, then marched over with a confrontational air and demanded, "Hey, what are you doing? Why are you following us?"
