Top-tier Unruly Master

Jin Luoshan stood on the stage, his face all eagerness as he spoke. "... the establishment of Qin's Group Dancheng Branch Company marks a renewal here in Dancheng, a glory for our city. Today, I come here mainly to express the Jin Family's stance—that we will steadfastly follow the Qin family..."

The attendees could clearly see that Jin Luoshan was openly ingratiating himself to the Qin family. Even though the Qin family was a big tree, ripe for clinging to, and many were keen to do just that, there were very few who could shamelessly grovel like Jin Luoshan did before such a crowd.

For a moment, the audience indeed deeply admired Jin Luoshan's nerve.

"Finally, let us together wish that the Qin's Group Dancheng Branch Company may prosper and grow stronger!"

Using a slogan-like phrase to conclude, Jin Luoshan thought he would be rewarded with resounding applause from the audience below after his speech.

However, to Jin Luoshan's surprise, after his speech concluded, only sporadic applause followed, including from Jin Ranran herself.

At this awkward moment, Jin Luoshan managed a sheepish smile at the audience before descending the stage somewhat embarrassingly.

Jin Luoshan's comical performance was witnessed by Ruv Ling, who was among the crowd. At that moment, she watched him with disdain, grateful for their last trip together.

If it weren't for that trip, where Jin Luoshan had played the coward before the bandits, how could she have seen his true colors? Now, faced with Jin Luoshan's sycophantic demeanor, Ruv Ling found herself increasingly disgusted.

"Our friend here quite uninvited himself…" the beautiful Female Emcee started to say.

Her words cleverly showed her wit, indicating to everyone that this fool was not invited by the Qin family; he had intruded of his own volition.

"Next, we invite Secretary Ma from Qin's Group to announce the appointment for Qin's Group Dancheng Branch Company," continued the beautiful Female Emcee.

As she finished, a burst of rousing music filled the air.

At this point, everyone in the venue couldn't help but widen their eyes and perk up their ears.

Qin's Group was among the top fifty enterprises in Huaxia, and Dancheng, strictly speaking, would only be a third-tier city without the Qin family's presence.

The introduction of such a major enterprise to the city was a significant event for both the municipal government and the business community.

Starting with the government: attracting such substantial investment would speed up urban development, resulting in noteworthy achievements that could lead to promotions.

For the business community, having Qin's Group's presence meant opportunities. Even the slightest affiliation with Qin's Group could significantly elevate one's family and business.

Therefore, those attending today's reception were very keen to know who would be appointed the general manager of Qin's Group Dancheng Branch Company.

At that moment, Jin Luoshan's eyes were wider than anyone's; despite his inquiries, he had not found out who the manager was. With the announcement imminent, and the relevance to his family, he was naturally very attentive.

Under the watchful eyes of all, a woman in her thirties, dressed professionally, walked confidently to the microphone at the front of the stage.

Firstly, on behalf of Qin's Group, I'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone here... After serious deliberation by the senior management of Qin's Group, the leadership has decided… The general manager of Qin's Group will be… Ding Fan, Mr. Ding!"

Who?! What's going on?!

Jin Luoshan, who had been eagerly awaiting the news, nearly had his eyes pop out of their sockets.

Ding Fan? How could it be Ding Fan? Could it be a namesake?

As Jin Luoshan was wildly theorizing, Ding Fan had already begun walking slowly towards the stage.

Although Ding Fan disliked such attention, having to abide by worldly customs was inevitable.

Observing Ding Fan approaching the stage, Jin Luoshan realized that the appointed manager of Dancheng Branch, Manager Ding, was indeed the same Ding Fan who had previously slapped Jin Ranran.

"How could it be him?!" Even now, Jin Luoshan still spoke with disbelief.

At this moment, Jin Luoshan was astonished, and so was Ruv Ling standing beside him.

What kind of company was Qin's Group? Others might not know, but how could Ruv Ling not know? Being ranked among the top fifty enterprises in Huaxia, serving as the general manager in Dancheng was like being an emperor in his own right.

Although Ruv Ling knew Ding Fan was extraordinary, she had not expected that he would so easily become the general manager of a top fifty enterprise in Huaxia Country.

At that moment, Ruv Ling thought back to the time Jin Luoshan and Ding Fan had dramatically threatened to have security remove Ding Fan.

Ding Fan had truly been playing possum. This reception marked the establishment of Dancheng Branch, and Ding Fan was its general manager. Ruv Ling now felt some regret; had she not intervened initially, Ding Fan would have been unharmed while Jin Luoshan would have likely met an ugly fate.

"Next, please welcome the general manager of Dancheng Branch, Mr. Ding Fan, to say a few words," announced the Female Emcee.

Following her introduction, a round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd.

According to Ding Fan's nature, he really didn't want to prepare any speech, but Zhou Ruoran had prepared a speech for him.

Ding Fan immediately memorized the speech Zhou Ruoran had prepared for him.

Ding Fan's memory was exceptionally phenomenal; for him, photographic memory was really nothing special.

The speech prepared by Zhou Ruoran was also very detailed, covering all bases, allowing Ding Fan to speak eloquently and, for a moment, he actually won a round of applause.

After the speech, Ding Fan directly walked off the stage. The female emcee continued to host.

"Now, I announce that today's reception officially begins, and I hope everyone enjoys their drinks and has a good time!"

As the female emcee finished speaking, melodious music began to play, and as the crowd slowly dispersed, people quickly started dancing in the dance floor.

Zhou Ruoran greeted Ding Fan like she was welcoming her own hero upon his return from the speech.

Admired by the masses, a genius above all, with a husband like this, what more could one desire...

"Manager Ding... I am the factory director of the Dancheng Machinery Factory, here is my business card."

"Manager Ding, I am from Dancheng Shunfeng Trading Company..."

Ding Fan had barely stepped off the stage and hadn't even had a chance to speak with Zhou Ruoran yet, when people started crowding around him.

Looking at the people surrounding him, Ding Fan felt a headache coming on, understanding he would have to deal with so many people since he took over the company. It seemed the future days would definitely not be easy.

If only he had someone to help him handle these matters.

At this time, Ding Fan hadn't started working at the Dancheng Branch Company yet, but he was already thinking about how to manage it hands-off...

"Manager Ding." Just then, a familiar voice came from the side.

Ding Fan definitely recognized the voice; he could tell whose it was even with his eyes closed.

At that moment, Jin Luoshan squeezed through the crowd and came directly in front of Ding Fan. The words spoken earlier were naturally his.

"Manager Ding, I just said you are a talented young man, the general manager position at the Dongcheng branch should be yours. If not you, then who else could command such respect?"

Ding Fan was indeed rather speechless about Jin Luoshan.

From the moment he entered the reception, Jin Luoshan had been targeting him continuously, even resorting to using security guards, and if Xu Rui and Ruv Ling hadn't helped smooth things over, he was afraid he'd have to personally escort those security guards out.

And now, the very Jin Luoshan who had been targeting Ding Fan, switched to smiling like a tiger, praising him as a young and talented man, which was completely contrary to his previous behavior.

Ding Fan felt that it would be a shame if Jin Luoshan didn't pursue a career in acting. This man could change his face in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph, weren't you just about to kick Brother Fan out? How come your attitude changed so suddenly?"

Before Ding Fan could speak, Ruv Ling walked over.

Ruv Ling truly felt disgusted every time he saw Jin Luoshan. That toadyish manner, clinging to power and riches, was simply nauseating to watch.

A man should stand tall and upright, not demean himself for wealth; such people have truly lost all shame and dignity.

Jin Luoshan glanced at Ruv Ling, and even with his thick skin, being called out so bluntly by Ruv Ling made it difficult for him to save face.

"Brother Fan is magnanimous, I was just making a little joke with Brother Fan earlier," Jin Luoshan said, showing an awkward smile on his face.

"Scram!" Ding Fan really didn't want to listen to any more of Jin Luoshan's nonsense, and he coldly spoke up.

As the saying goes, one should not strike a smiling face.

As Jin Luoshan made such an overture, even if Ding Fan was displeased with him, the most he would do was ignore him. But now, Ding Fan had publicly told Jin Luoshan to scram in front of everyone.

Jin Luoshan's smile turned awkward. He wanted to stay since he still needed to liaise with the Qin family for cooperation.

But having been embarrassed by Ding Fan's rebuke, and continuing to stay there, even if he had thick skin, he couldn't bear to remain any longer.

Unable to stay or go, Jin Luoshan truly didn't know what to do at this moment.

At this point, Jin Luoshan was secretly cursing himself for being foolish; of all the people he could have provoked, why did he have to mess with Ding Fan...
