Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Zhao Chong Arrives

In an instant, the entire Group Nine was jeering at Ye Fan.

Even though Ye Fan had indeed saved them during the last team building, the thought of him taking down Beichen Group within an hour and having Zhao Chong, the head of Beichen Group's Central Plains Branch, personally deliver the cooperation agreement seemed utterly unrealistic to them.

After all, Ye Fan was just a minor employee at Dihao Group—not the kind of person to attract the attention of a heavy-hitter like Zhao Chong.

If Ye Fan were to go out and brag to the boss of some small company, that boss might treat him with great respect because of Dihao Group's name. But Beichen Group was on par with Dihao Group in strength, and to them, Ye Fan was now just a bit player, with no chance to win Zhao Chong's favor.

What mattered most was that it was Manager Yan Shanshan who was targeting Ye Fan. Even if they had a decent impression of Ye Fan, they had to mock him in order to curry favor with Yan Shanshan.

"Ye Fan, will Director Zhao really come personally to deliver the agreement later?" Mu Yurou's pretty face, devoid of any makeup, was particularly pale.

Ye Fan smiled and said, "Of course! I reckon Zhao Chong is already on his way here with the signed cooperation agreement in hand!"

Pfft!

At these words, Yan Shanshan couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Ye Fan, oh Ye Fan, I hadn't realized before that you're quite the actor. It's a pity you're not up for an Academy Award!" Yan Shanshan taunted.

Ye Fan shrugged, "What? You don't believe it? There's still time within the hour, so let's just wait and see."

"Fine! I'll wait and see. If Zhao Chong doesn't come with the agreement personally, I'll have the security staff throw both of you out immediately!" Yan Shanshan sneered.

Ye Fan just smiled. He didn't say anything more because he knew that once Zhao Chong arrived, the arrogant Yan Shanshan wouldn't have the last laugh.

Ye Fan checked the time. It was already half past nine in the morning. As long as Zhao Chong arrived at Dihao Group before ten-thirty, it would be soon enough.

The faces of everyone in Group Nine were filled with amusement. They were all in the same mood as Yan Shanshan, waiting to see Ye Fan become the butt of the joke.

Time ticked away, and soon it was twenty past ten in the morning, leaving only ten minutes until half past ten.

Checking the time, Yan Shanshan said with a sneer, "Yo, Ye Fan, you're running out of time. Why hasn't Director Zhao from Beichen Group sent you the cooperation agreement yet?"

"What's the rush? The emperor is not in a hurry while the eunuch is," Ye Fan retorted straight back.

"You..."

Hearing Ye Fan compare himself to the emperor and regard her as a eunuch, Yan Shanshan's face turned frosty, and she said viciously, "Fine, the last ten minutes. Let's see if Director Zhao shows up or not!"

One minute! Five minutes!

Eight minutes!

In a flash, there were only two minutes left until the appointed time, and Mu Yurou's delicate features grew even more pale.

"It's over, it's all over. Ye Fan, Director Zhao hasn't arrived, he must have been held up. It's all my fault for dragging you down!" Mu Yurou said with a look of dejection.

Yan Shanshan sneered, "Why would Director Zhao even come? Ye Fan doesn't know him at all. He's been fooling you from the start. Can't you see that, you naive little thing?"

"I'm fooling Yu Rou?" Ye Fan scoffed.

Yan Shanshan looked at him as though she saw right through him, "Aren't you?"

Checking the time again, Yan Shanshan called out with a cold face, "Security, security!"

"Manager Yuan, what's the matter?" Several security staff quickly rushed over from outside the door.

Under everyone's gaze, Yan Shanshan pointed at Ye Fan and Mu Yurou, "Time is almost up. Director Zhao didn't show up, so according to our agreement, you two have to get out! Get these two out of here immediately!"

"Yes, Manager Yuan!" Several security personnel immediately started heading towards Ye Fan and Mu Yurou.

Mu Yurou's face turned pale, and she looked at Ye Fan, "What shall we do? Are they really going to throw us out?"

Whoosh—

Just as the security personnel were closing in on Ye Fan and Mu Yurou, a figure dressed in a suit dashed in from the entrance of Dihao Group with great urgency. Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Mr. Ye, I'm so sorry, today is Monday and it's extremely busy, I got stuck in traffic on the way. There were only two kilometers left but the traffic just wouldn't move, so I ran here from two kilometers away!" In the nick of time, Zhao Chong arrived at the scene, panting heavily.

Seeing Zhao Chong's arrival, Ye Fan smiled lightly, "Quite a trouble, indeed Monday traffic can get bad!"

"The main issue is that I made Mr. Ye wait. Mr. Ye, here is the partnership agreement I signed, please have a look!" Zhao Chong quickly presented the cooperation agreement.

Ye Fan took the agreement, and without even looking at it, he tossed it to Yan Shanshan, "Here, the cooperation agreement has arrived!"

"Is... is this really the cooperation agreement?" Yan Shanshan's face stiffened.

She had initially thought that Ye Fan was merely bluffing, but then, in the last second, Zhao Chong actually made it in time.

Yan Shanshan, disbelieving, opened the cooperation agreement, "Xiao Li, come and check if this is real."

Her words had just fallen when a young man immediately stood up; he was the contract specialist from the ninth team of the marketing department.

"Manager, this cooperation agreement should be real, it has the anti-forgery watermark of Beichen Group, nobody on the market would dare to forge a Beichen Group's cooperation agreement!" Xiao Li reported truthfully.

"What? This agreement is real? Doesn't that mean that this guy is Beichen Group's Director Zhao Chong?"

After Xiao Li spoke, the entire ninth team of the marketing department erupted into chaos, each one of them staring at Ye Fan with utterly astonished faces.

Yan Shanshan was taken aback and she turned to Xiao Li, "Are you sure this is a real agreement?"

"It should be real!" Xiao Li reaffirmed.

Yan Shanshan frowned, clearly, the situation had exceeded her expectations.

The next moment, with a bizarre look, Yan Shanshan studied Zhao Chong, "Are you Beichen Group's Director Zhao?"

"That's right, do you have a problem with that?" Zhao Chong nodded upon being questioned by Yan Shanshan.

Yan Shanshan, unconvinced, picked up the cooperation agreement, "Where did you get this agreement from?"

"What do you mean by that? I am the head of Beichen Group Central Plains Branch, of course, I personally signed this cooperation agreement!" Zhao Chong raised an eyebrow.

In full view of everyone, Yan Shanshan suddenly flung the cooperation agreement at Zhao Chong, her face full of contempt, "I never thought that you guys' fake agreement crafting skills were so sophisticated, you've even managed to fool my contract specialist!"

"Faking an agreement?" Zhao Chong was taken aback.

With an air of having seen through Zhao Chong's pretense, Yan Shanshan sneered, "Don't tell me this agreement isn't forged by you? Who Ye Fan is, I couldn't know any better. How could he possibly know Director Zhao from Beichen Group, and why would Director Zhao be so eager to come running to a nobody like him to personally deliver a cooperation agreement?"

"Enough, the both of you, stop putting on an act! You can't fool me."

"You're questioning his identity?" Seeing this, Ye Fan let out a derisive laugh.

Yan Shanshan, with a tone of certainty, scornfully said, "Ye Fan, if my guess is right, the reason you stepped out to make that call was because you were afraid of letting us hear some things, right?"

"I thought you, Ye Fan, were an upright gentleman, but to achieve your goal, you resort to having someone forge a cooperation agreement. It's utterly ridiculous!"

"If he's really Director Zhao from Beichen Group, may I be struck by a car the moment I step outside and sh*t myself!"
