Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Picking Faults

Jian Yunzhou was full of skepticism, thinking to himself that with the Shen Family being such a large clan, with thousands upon thousands of people seeking their help, if making a phone call was all it took to get the Shen Family to lend a hand, then their phone line would have exploded long ago.

"They’re probably just trying to fob me off. After all, they’re so powerful that even if they don’t help me, I can’t really say anything," Jian Yunzhou murmured to himself.

Soon, Chen Fan finished the call and said to Jian Yunzhou, "The Shen Family has agreed to help your company through its difficulties. They will send someone to contact you."

Jian Yunzhou smiled, thinking to himself that he had heard such phrases often enough to know they were just polite nothings. Verbally agreed, but with no actual follow-up. Nevertheless, he replied with a face full of gratitude, "Then I must thank Master Chen a lot."

Just then, his phone rang, and when he looked at it, he saw an unfamiliar number.

"May I speak to Mr. Jian Yunzhou? I am the head of the Shen Family’s real estate sector. I’ve heard that Mr. Jian’s company has recently encountered some difficulties? I have been specifically arranged by the family head to help Mr. Jian’s company pull through this rough patch. When will Mr. Jian be available? Perhaps we can meet and discuss?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yunzhou’s face revealed intense shock, "It...it’s actually true. The Shen Family... they’re truly willing to help me."

His expression quickly changed to excitement, and he hurriedly replied, "I’m available right now. Where are you? I’ll come to you right away."

After making arrangements, Jian Yunzhou looked at Chen Fan with tears of gratitude, then bowed deeply and said, "Master Chen, the Shen Family really contacted me. You have literally saved my life!"

"I’ve arranged to meet with the head from the Shen Family right now, so I can’t entertain you today, Master Chen. Let’s find a time another day, and I will surely express my profound gratitude for the kindness you’ve shown Yunzhou Real Estate!"

Chen Fan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Jian Yunzhou nodded and then rushed out of the office.

Chen Fan did not plan to linger any longer either. He took the elevator to the first-floor lobby, intending to leave.

Meanwhile, Jian Wen, who had been waiting in the lobby, ran over and called out, "Brother Chen Fan!"

Chen Fan turned around and asked, "What’s up?"

Jian Wen appeared somewhat awkward, her face tinged with shyness, as she said, "Brother Chen Fan, if it hadn’t been for you yesterday, I might have been taken advantage of. You are my lifesaver, so I want to thank you."

"Can... can I treat you to a meal?"

Chen Fan looked at Jian Wen’s hopeful face, tinged with fear of rejection, and couldn’t help but smile. Thinking that he had nothing else on, he nodded, "Sure."

Jian Wen’s face lit up with joy, "Then wait for me, Brother Chen Fan. I’ll just change my clothes and come right down."

Before long, Jian Wen arrived in front of Chen Fan wearing a black pleated skirt paired with a white shirt with a flipped collar and little white shoes on her feet.

Even Chen Fan couldn’t help but take a second look at those fair and slender legs.

As he sensed the youthful vibe emanating from Jian Wen, he couldn’t help but sigh, "It’s good to be young."

Jian Wen spoke up, "Brother Chen Fan, what would you like to eat? Don’t be polite with me, just fleece me."

Chen Fan thought for a moment and said, "I haven’t tried the barbecue in Gang City yet. How about we go for barbecue?"

Jian Wen was slightly stunned; she had changed her clothes specifically because she was afraid Chen Fan would choose some upscale place and she didn’t want to embarrass him. But unexpectedly, he wanted to eat barbecue.

However, she quickly reconsidered and thought that perhaps Chen Fan was treating her as a friend by choosing a down-to-earth barbecue place instead of a high-end restaurant.

So she nodded happily, "I know a roadside barbecue place that’s really popular!"

As night fell.

The dazzling lights thoroughly showcased the prosperity of Gang City, initiating the city dwellers into a nightlife of glitz and glamour.

Chen Fan and Jian Wen were seated at a small table at a roadside barbecue stall, surrounded by crowds of people already filling up the area, enjoying skewers and drinks, fully immersed in the lively human scene.

Jian Wen’s beauty and fashionable dress drew the attention of many young men around them.

Their table was filled with various types of meat skewers and several bottles of chilled beer, as the two of them chatted while eating.

Out of curiosity, Jian Wen asked, "Big Brother Chen Fan, that Qin Lan... is she really your ex-wife?"

Chen Fan nodded, then recounted his past with Qin Lan to Jian Wen.

After listening, an indignant Jian Wen said, "That woman is despicable to treat Big Brother Chen Fan like that. I knew she was no good."

Then she added, "But it’s good that Big Brother Chen Fan divorced her. Someone as excellent as you, she’s not worthy of you at all."

Chen Fan just smiled, noncommittally.

Jian Wen, her cheeks flushed from the alcohol, looked at Chen Fan with shyness and excitement, asking, "Big Brother Chen Fan, do you have someone you like now?"

Chen Fan nodded, "I do."

Suddenly, Jian Wen’s face fell, and much of the anticipation faded from her expression.

Still, she forced a smile and said, "That person must be just as excellent as Big Brother Chen Fan. I’ll just wish you happiness in advance!"

After speaking, she chugged down a beer in one gulp.

At that moment, a shirtless man with tattoos on his arms, a gold chain around his neck, and reeking of alcohol approached Jian Wen. He leered at her legs and said with a smirk, "Little sister, dressed so provocatively, how about sleeping with brother tonight?"

Jian Wen’s expression turned cold in an instant. She turned her head to glance at the man and snapped, "Are you sick? Beat it, disgusting!"

The man scoffed and shouted, "Damn it, can’t you understand me? I’m going to sleep with you tonight! My buddies all fancy you too. How about giving us a good time, eh?"

With that, he reached out toward Jian Wen’s thigh.

Jian Wen frowned and pushed the man away, "Get the hell away from me! Or I’m calling the cops!"

The man stumbled, almost falling over, his face filled with rage, "Damn it, you dress like that to get people to mess with you, right? What’s with the act? And you dare push me? Seems like you’re tired of living!"

He grabbed an empty beer bottle and, without another word, smashed it toward Jian Wen’s head.

Jian Wen was terrified, completely unprepared for such senseless brutality.

But just as the bottle was about to hit Jian Wen’s head, a hand reached out and grabbed it.

The man was startled, turned his head, and saw that it was the man who had been sitting at the same table with the girl. He cursed, "What? Trying to be a hero? Let me tell you, I drive a Maybach, you can’t afford to mess with me. Scram if you don’t want to die!"

Chen Fan looked at him coldly and asked, "What did she do to provoke you that you must hit her with a bottle?"

The man sneered, "She won’t let me sleep with her, that’s provoking me!"

Angered, Chen Fan kicked the man in the stomach, sending him flying away.

Seeing this, seven or eight burly men nearby who were drinking immediately stood up, each wielding a beer bottle, and marched towards Chen Fan with a threatening air.
