Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Su Tianlong's Humiliation

Su Tianhao could never have dreamed that Ye Fan had already settled things with Li Shihao's father, Li Changhong, one step ahead of him.

No sooner had he left Tianba Group than Yaozhen Pavilion's owner, Kong Xuan, called, "Mr. Ye, the medicinal materials you asked for are all ready. Would you like me to deliver them to you, or would you prefer to come and pick them up yourself?"

"So soon?" Ye Fan expressed in surprise.

Kong Xuan gave a charming smile, "Please, Mr. Ye, don't doubt our Yaozhen Pavilion's capabilities. Yaozhen Pavilion is backed by a domestic super family clan, with branches all over the country!"

"Hmm, I'll come and pick them up!" Ye Fan said with a slight smile.

It wasn't long before Ye Fan arrived at Yaozhen Pavilion and collected all the medicinal materials he needed.

After handing over the medicinal materials to Ye Fan, Kong Xuan, dressed in a cheongsam full of charm, said, "Mr. Ye, the Chen Family has already settled the bill!"

"Good!" Ye Fan nodded.

As Ye Fan prepared to leave, Kong Xuan handed him a black card, saying, "This is our Yaozhen Pavilion's most precious Supreme Black Card. If Mr. Ye doesn't mind, please accept it. If you have any needs for medicinal materials, just present this Supreme Black Card and branches of Yaozhen Pavilion across the country will prepare what you need in no time!"

"Thank you!" Upon hearing this, Ye Fan accepted the Yaozhen Pavilion Supreme Black Card.

Watching Ye Fan leave, Kong Xuan's beautiful eyes gleamed, "A martial arts grandmaster in his twenties, truly a rare sight worldwide! Xiao Hu, how's the investigation on Ye Fan's background coming along?"

"Reporting to Sister Kong, it's been checked. This individual's identity is highly confidential. We could only find out that he was saved by Su Ruoxue of the Su Family six years ago," the young man Xiao Hu replied respectfully.

"What? Highly confidential?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan was greatly startled, "No wonder he's a martial arts grandmaster at such a young age. He really has an impressive background!"

Watching Ye Fan's receding figure in the distance, Kong Xuan's peach-blossom eyes sent out ripples, her thoughts unknown.

...

"Ye Fan, parents and Zhan Yun just came by, and seeing that Ling'er is fine, they are all very happy. They also said they want to hold a banquet tonight to celebrate!" As soon as he returned to Warzone Hospital, Su Ruoxue walked up to Ye Fan and said.

Ye Fan was surprised, "The family came over? A banquet to celebrate tonight? That sounds good!"

Su Ruoxue's father, Su Jianguo, worked in the environmental protection department and was the head of a certain section, a bona fide senior official.

Su Ruoxue's mother, Gao Yaqin, was the head nurse of a top-tier hospital, and Su Ruoxue also had a younger brother, Su Zhanyun, who had just retired from the military after several years of service and was currently contracting projects on a construction site.

Apart from Su Ruoxue, none of them worked at the Su Family and had already become independent.

A few days ago, Ye Ling'er was targeted by the Jiang Family, causing her elderly grandparents great anxiety. They activated all their connections, but against the vast Jiang Family, none of these connections were useful.

In the past six years, the Su Family members had been good to Ye Fan, with only Su Jianguo having some prejudices against him, believing that Ye Fan was incompetent and had lost face for the Su Family.

"Ruoxue, I'm going to prepare the medicine."

Upon learning that Su Jianguo was planning a banquet for the evening, Ye Fan picked up some medicinal herbs and left the ward.

Zilanxuan Restaurant, located in the East Suburb, featured a beautiful environment with lush green grass, making it a distinctive themed restaurant.

The destruction of the Jiang Family and his granddaughter Ye Ling'er's narrow escape from danger brought joy to Su Jianguo, her grandfather. He specially reserved Zilanxuan's most luxurious private room.

"Hahaha, sit down, everyone, sit down quickly!"

Before he even entered the private room, Ye Fan could hear his father-in-law Su Jianguo's hearty laughter.

"Yo! Ye Fan and his family are here!"

As soon as he opened the door, all eyes in the private room locked on Ye Fan and his family of three.

Ye Fan glanced around and saw that the relatives who usually got along well with Su Ruoxue's family were mostly present.

Su Ruoxue smiled and said, "Everyone arrived so quickly, Ye Fan and I are actually late!"

"Ruoxue, we're all family here, it doesn't matter whether you're early or late, come, take your seats!"

"Yes, come sit down fast!"

A group of relatives all wore smiles, appearing friendly and kind.

"Brother-in-law, take a seat!"

Su Zhanyun, the younger brother-in-law, quickly got up to pull up a stool for Ye Fan.

"Okay!" Ye Fan said with a smile.

In their large family, harmony usually prevailed, especially with his brother-in-law, Su Zhanyun, who always treated him with great respect and politeness.

"My, my! You all arrived so early!"

Just as Ye Fan's family had settled down, the door to the private room was pushed open, and two figures walked in, one after the other.

The middle-aged man was Su Jianjun, the biological brother of Su Jianguo, and the youth was Su Tianlong, the son of Su Jianjun.

Seeing these two, Su Zhanyun lowered his voice and said to Ye Fan, "Today, I saw on Su Tianlong's social media that the guy got promoted to vice president. He's going to show off later for sure!"

Ye Fan nodded, aware that Su Jianjun and his son Su Tianlong were famously competitive, and if the promotion were true, the two would undoubtedly be flaunting it today.

"Just arrived, we all just got here. Jianjun, Tianlong, come sit down!" Su Ruoxue's mother, Gao Yaqin, called out.

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Su Jianguo said to the waiter, "Serve the dishes!"

"Yes, sir!" the waiter replied politely.

Su Jianjun sat down without any formality, an air of self-satisfaction about him. "You don't know, today Tianlong was promoted to vice president. A bunch of people at the company want to celebrate for Tianlong. He had to turn them down for quite a while, or else we wouldn't have made it here!"

"Can't help it, the people at the company are just too enthusiastic!" Su Tianlong said with an air of arrogance.

The relatives listened and cast envious glances his way.

"Congratulations! Among the younger generation of our old Su family, Tianlong is the most successful by far!"

"Yes, yes! Tianlong, with your promotion, your annual salary must be at least a million, right?"

Under the gazes full of envy, Su Tianlong feigned modesty. "It's so-so, just five or six million maybe. With the year-end bonus, perhaps even ten million is possible!"

"Hiss! Ten million?"

Upon hearing this, all the relatives were shocked.

Most among them were ordinary wage-earners, barely making a few tens of thousands per year. A salary of ten million was beyond their wildest dreams.

Playing to the crowd, Su Jianjun reached into his pocket, pulled out Bentley car keys, and bragged, "Look, the Chen Group even got Tianlong a new car. Honestly, the previous Mercedes S wasn't bad, but when compared to the Bentley, the quality just doesn't hold up!"

"Jianjun, you've really raised a good son!"

Seeing Su Jianjun pull out the Bentley keys, the relatives were even more full of envy.

"By the way, Ye Fan, are you still working at the barbecue stall?" Su Jianjun asked.

Ye Fan was taken aback, then replied, "I'm planning to quit and looking for a new job."

Indeed, for the past six years, Ye Fan had been working at a barbecue stall, earning a monthly salary of three thousand, barely maintaining his family's day-to-day expenses.

Su Jianjun, proud of his son Su Tianlong's career success, often made fun of him, and Ye Fan was well aware of it.

Seeing Su Jianjun's mocking expression, Su Jianguo, Gao Yaqin, and Su Zhanyun all looked displeased. They knew Su Jianjun was gearing up to belittle their family using Ye Fan as a target.

Their family had been doing much better than Su Jianjun's until Su Tianlong became successful and started ridiculing them. Searᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Most importantly, since Su Ruoxue had married Ye Fan, who hadn't accomplished much in these six years, they had become the frequent subjects of mockery from Su Jianjun and his son.

"Planning to switch jobs, huh? Tianlong, you've just been promoted, why not help Ye Fan out? Are there still any security positions left at the Chen Group? If not, even cleaning toilets would do!" Su Jianjun shouted.

The next moment, Su Jianjun looked at Ye Fan and said, "Don't mind me, Ye Fan. Even cleaning toilets at the Chen Group could get you four or five thousand a month, which is far better than part-timing at a barbecue shop!"

Although Su Jianjun seemed to be explaining, the sarcasm on his face was utterly unmasked.

"Cleaning toilets, huh? Let me think about it!"

Su Tianlong put on a thoughtful expression, then shook his head. "That won't work. The janitorial staff is already sufficient, and besides, Ye Fan is young and able-bodied. It's not right for him to compete with the elderly for a job, is it?"

"How about this, Ye Fan? I know a big pig farm owner. You're young and strong, why don't I give this owner a call, and you can go feed pigs?"

"Let Ye Fan feed pigs? Pfft! Hahahaha..."

Upon hearing Su Tianlong's words, the relatives could not help but burst into laughter.
