Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 839: Ruin Lin Fan’s Reputation
Lin Fan seemed like a shining superstar; the moment he appeared, he became the focus of the entire audience, all eyes on him. It wasn't just because he looked crazily handsome in that suit but also because of his status as the richest man in Yun City. People flocked to him, eager to flatter and cozy up.
This scene was something Wu Yihan could only dream of when he tried to pay for prestige; this was true face.
The prominent figures present all vied to praise him—who else could compare!
Unlike Wu Yihan, who had to spend money for face, Lin Fan was unaffected by the admiration from the crowd. This contradicted his low-key nature; had it not been for Song Rongmao's sake, he would have just worn something from a street stall tonight. No one would recognize him, and he wouldn't care to engage with people.
"Mr. Lin, hello, I'm the boss of Rongtong Company..."
"Mr. Lin, do you remember me? We met at the last business association meeting..."
"Mr. Lin is so handsome. I'm your fan girl; you're indeed a dragon among men..."
As everyone surrounded Lin Fan.
"Mr. Lin, you've finally arrived! Welcome, it's truly my humble abode that is glowing with splendor, hahaha..."
Song Rongmao laughed heartily, coming out to greet Lin Fan.
Lin Fan breathed a sigh of relief, taking the opportunity to escape, smiling: "Elder Song, sorry, something held me up on the road, so I arrived late. Happy birthday, may you celebrate this day every year!"
Song Rongmao laughed: "Thank you, Mr. Lin. With your blessings, it seems hard not to live to a hundred this time." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Upon hearing this, everyone laughed heartily.
Li Jian watched from afar, his face darkened, looking very displeased.
Without comparison, there is no harm. He came before Lin Fan, and although he also caught the attention of the crowd, it couldn't compare to Lin Fan, whose entrance was so stunning—just like a superstar's, turning everyone into instant fans!
This made Li Jian very disgruntled; why does this young Lin Fan deserve such respect!
In his view, Lin Fan was a nouveau riche without a family background.
Despite Mortal Group creating the fastest-rise legend in history, it was nothing but a giant bubble; once it bursts, Lin Fan's legend will end!
Locals in Yun City generally exclude outsiders, and Li Jian was no different.
To this glorious scene Lin Fan enjoyed, Li Jian seemed disdainful but was actually envious and jealous. Indeed, Li Jian envied Lin Fan; he, too, wanted to shine like Lin Fan.
Everyone jokingly calls Li Jian a landlord, a hidden tycoon among the rich, but Li Jian didn't enjoy being hidden; he had a flamboyant nature and preferred being the richest, like Lin Fan, receiving the worship of all.
In fact, Li Jian has been busy with something important related to becoming the richest. If it succeeds, the wealth of Yun City's Li Family will reach another level, possibly entering the ranks of billionaires and challenging Lin Fan for the title of Yun City's richest.
Li Jian's auctioning of the riverside land was related to this operation; he needed cash, and selling land was the simplest way for Li Family to get cash.
Initially, Li Jian and Lin Fan had no intersection, but unexpectedly, the land sale led him to Lin Fan—Lin Fan even hurt his son Li Haoming, causing the miscarriage of Li Family's third-generation firstborn. Li Jian was already displeased with Lin Fan; how could he not seek retribution!
"Yun City's richest Mr. Lin, I have long admired your name; today I finally meet you, and you indeed live up to your reputation, truly talented."
Li Jian laughed as he approached.
He instantly attracted the crowd's attention, with the backdrop of Li Jian withdrawing Mortal Group's bid, making his words sound rather sarcastic.
Lin Fan raised his eyes to Li Jian; today, he specifically learned about the Li Family, and in front of him was the Patriarch, Li Jian!
"Mr. Li, nice to meet you." Lin Fan smiled slightly; he guessed right, meeting Li Jian at Song Rongmao's birthday banquet.
He didn't expect Li Jian to be so high-profile, greeting him in front of everyone's eyes, drawing the whole crowd's attention. Originally, Lin Fan planned to have a private conversation if he met Li Jian himself.
Such high profile was not his intention, but now that it has come to this, he could only respond flexibly.
Li Jian said: "Earlier, I heard people discussing that my Li Family returned Mr. Lin's bid documents; I might as well explain so everyone stops speculating; indeed, this happened. Truly sorry, Mr. Lin, you wanted to buy my Li Family's land, but we cannot sell it to you."
With this declaration, everyone was stunned. Until now, it had merely been "rumored," but now Li Jian said it himself!
It was true!
Judging by Li Jian's tone, even a fool could hear the grudge between Li Family and Lin Fan; otherwise, why would Li Jian be so disrespectful, publicly saying it, intending to embarrass Lin Fan?
Song Rongmao was slightly embarrassed; Li Jian was his old friend, and Lin Fan was a junior he valued greatly; he didn't want to see them clash.
"Brother Li Jian, Mr. Lin, today is my birthday; you both gracing my humble abode for my celebration is my utmost honor. Please, everyone, let's not talk business today; how about joining Mr. Li at the table, letting loose with drinks!" Song Rongmao laughed heartily, trying to ease the awkwardness.
Implying that whatever conflict Lin Fan and Li Jian have, don't start trouble at his birthday party.
Li Jian said: "Forgive me, I don't intend to ruin Brother Song's birthday feast, but what Mr. Lin did is truly outrageous; if I hadn't seen Mr. Lin, I might have resisted, but seeing him in person, it's truly hard to endure."
Everyone looked at each other; what did Lin Fan do that was so outrageous?
"Mr. Lin, what's going on?"
Wang Hailin beside asked; Wang Hailin was the boss of Yida Group, a billion-dollar tycoon, Yun City's former richest until Lin Fan displaced him.
Having his richest man position displaced, it's impossible not to feel any ripple; hence, upon seeing Lin Fan seemingly in trouble, Wang Hailin naturally showed more concern than anyone.
Lin Fan chuckled: "Mr. Li's words are quite bewildering; I submitted a bid because I wanted to buy Li Family's land, but they returned the bid. I also want to know what happened; why doesn't Mr. Li explain directly?"
Li Jian showed anger: "Mr. Lin did something himself and is unaware of it? Forcing me to speak? Mr. Lin, how shameless, truly thick-skinned enough to become the richest man at such a young age, your shamelessness is indeed city's first."
Lin Fan said: "Could Mr. Li be referring to the incident with your son? If it's that case, I'm truly not at fault; quite the opposite, it's not entirely right, but it's justified in the name of justice. The land is Mr. Li's, and he has every right not to sell it to me, I accept, but being accused wrongly, I cannot accept."
Li Jian roared with rage: "Causing my daughter-in-law to miscarry is also not your fault?"
What?
The entire audience was shocked; Lin Fan caused Li Family's daughter-in-law to miscarry? What happened here sounds like an unknown wealthy family's scandalous news, and for a moment, everyone's minds were filling with a dramatic scene.
Lin Fan frowned; he understood, Li Jian aimed to leave him in disgrace today!
