Li Xue-Qi's voice echoed in the shop.
Sun Hai-Zhou froze on the spot after hearing what she said. "Wh-what did you just say? He...he's really Mr Chu?”
His entire body was shaking as he stared in disbelief at Li Xue-Qi. His eyes were as huge as bells.
"That's...that's impossible! Mr Chu is the leader of Jiangdong and a powerful man. How could someone at his level be this young? Besides, Mr Chu is someone of such high standing. How could someone like that dress this shabbily? Impossible! It's impossible!” shouted Sun Hai-Zhou uncontrollably. He couldn't accept it at all. He couldn't believe that this ordinary and poorly dressed youngster in front of him was actually the almighty Mr Chu who was in charge of Jiangdong.
"Don't judge a book by its cover. The more powerful and capable one is, the plainer he looks on the outside. Sun Hai-Zhou, you've seen all sorts of people over the years but you still don't understand this principle?" said Li Xue-Qi as she shook her head and looked disappointedly at Sun Hai-Zhou.
Li Xue-Qi didn't bother explaining anymore. She walked up to Ye Fan and said respectfully, "Mr Chu, I'm sorry for coming late. Here's the $10 million in cash you asked for."
Li Xue-Qi waved her hands and the two bodyguards behind her opened the safe in their hands to reveal stacks and stacks of notes.
Everyone shook at the sight of this amount of cash.
Chen Wen-Wen was frozen to her spot.
Sun Hai-Zhou felt like he had just been struck by lightning.
Tan Xiao-Jing used a hand to cover her mouth in shock.
"He...he's really...Mr Chu?" Sun Hai-Zhou had no choice but to face up to reality now.
There was $10 million in cash right in front of him now, and even Li Xue-Qi had to behave so respectfully towards this man.
The only person who could make Li Xue-Qi come personally just to deliver cash and still behave so deferentially had to be someone at the pinnacle of power like Mr Chu.
"Manager Sun, what do you have to say now? You said I had no right to use Mufan Group's name to fire you. Do I have the right now?" Ye Fan smiled coldly as he stood with his hand behind his back.
He looked at Sun Hai-Zhou as if he was looking down at an ant.
Sun Hai-Zhou nearly lost all feeling in his legs and felt like his soul was about to leave his body from the way Ye Fan stared at him.
He immediately broke down and pleaded, "Mr...Mr Chu, I'm...I'm really sorry! I really didn't know it was you! If I had known, I would have just given this dress to you! I wouldn't have wanted a single cent from you! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!”
Sun Hai-Zhou was on the verge of crying.
Because of his relationship with the Li family, there were very few in Yunzhou he was really afraid of.
And even if he really offended some big shot, he could just call Li Xue-Qi and get her to help him out.
Since they were old neighbors and playmates when they were children, Sun Hai-Zhou didn't have to be afraid of offending anyone.
But all this confidence vanished in front of Mr Chu.
His heart was left with nothing but fear and terror.
After all, even the previous King of Jiangdong, Chen Ao, had been removed from his high post with one word from Mr Chu.
Even if such a legendary man squished him to death right now, nobody would dare to say anything.
But Ye Fan remained unmoved by Sun Hai-Zhou's pleading and just smiled coldly. "Don't you think it's a little too late to say all this now?"
He ignored Sun Hai-Zhou's pleas and marched off.
"Mr Chu, what about the money?" asked Li Xue-Qi as she caught up with him.
