After wailing for a long time, Su Qian's emotions finally settled down.
She used her sleeve to wipe her tears away, then stubbornly said to Qiu Mu-Cheng, "Humph, that's no big deal. He just knows how to play the harmonica, right? I was just blinded back then and I don't like him anymore. My idol is Mr Chu, not him! I only like Mr Chu now."
Su Qian's cheeks were still tearstained as she continued yelling away like a stubborn little girl.
Qiu Mu-Cheng didn't know how to counsel her either, so she just agreed with her, "Yes, yes, the one you like is Mr Chu. Your idol is still Mr Chu and not Ye Fan..."
In reality, Qiu Mu-Cheng wasn't sure how to describe her own feelings either.
She just felt that life was really a drama.
Su Qian used to look down on Ye Fan only to eventually discover that the 'Harmonica Prince' she fell head over heels in love with and practically sold her soul to turned out to be Ye Fan in the end.
If Su Qian weren't her own bestie, Qiu Mu-Cheng might feel proud and glad to be Ye Fan's wife and would want to boast about it.
While Qiu Mu-Cheng was busy trying to comfort Su Qian, Ye Fan was on the phone with Li Er.
"Li Er, you're still not back yet?" asked Ye Fan with a frown.
Li Er replied respectfully, "Mr Chu, I'm in New York now. I've found the bastard who betrayed me and ganged up with my secretary to run away with funds embezzled from the company! If I don't get back at this fellow, I really won't be able to eat or sleep properly. Once I'm done with settling this matter, I will return to Jiangdong."
After hearing this, Ye Fan nodded, "Sure, tell me about it when you're back. The Feast of the Sea and Sky must happen by next week! If you still can't get back by then, I will have no choice but to move the venue to Jianghai instead."
The Feast of the Sea and Sky was basically a gathering of all the big shots in Jiangdong.
In the past, the king of Jiangdong, Chen Ao, would organize this every year and gather everyone.
The big bosses of all the major corporations in every city would come for the banquet, and it was like a big celebration of the people.
Besides talking business, most of it was eating and drinking as well as networking.
But in the past, Jiangdong was split into the east and the west. Chen Ao was in charge of the east while Zhao Wu-Ji was in the west, so the Feast of the Sea and Sky used to be able to only gather half of the important people in Jiangdong.
But now, Jiangdong had been consolidated and Ye Fan was their leader.
This year's Feast of the Sea and Sky was definitely going to be on a much grander scale than before!
Logically speaking, such a huge event should have been hosted by Chen Ao, one of the major business leaders.
But Chen Ao's influence in Jiangdong was too great and it was dangerous to let him have all the power.
Part of a king's role was to maintain order and balance.
Ye Fan was now supporting Li Er because he wanted Li Er to be able to be on par with Chen Ao when he wasn't around to watch over Jiangdong.
He didn't want one family to rule over everything.
That was also why Ye Fan would rather wait to hold this year's Feast of the Sea and Sky in Yunzhou and get Li Er to host it.
"Oh no no, Mr Chu, don't worry, I just need seven days. No matter what happens here, I'll definitely rush back to Jiangdong within the next seven days. I will definitely host the Feast of the Sea and Sky for you!"
Li Er wasn't stupid. Of course he knew that Ye Fan was giving him a fantastic opportunity.
All this while, Chen Ao, Lei San and the rest of the big shots in Jiangdong were always above him.
