Just after coming down the mountain, the beautiful CEO took me to register

Chapter 561: Really Not Suitable to Be the Patriarch

"Yes, hehe."

Seeing this, Lu Tianlong smiled broadly: "Xingmin, Mr. Lin, come on, let's start eating."

"Yeah, eat."

Zhao Xingmin then pulled a hand out of his pocket and began to eat heartily. Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but bury his head in his food.

The two men's appetites left the Lu family father and son stunned, as if they had really been hungry all day.

Lu Tianlong winked at his son, and Lu Zhen understood and raised his glass again: "Uncle Zhao, I'll toast you too."

"Okay, okay, Xiaozhen, you are so polite. You and Ziqing grew up together, so you are all familiar with each other, right?" Zhao Xingmin said while eating.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Fan, who was concentrating on eating, suddenly looked up. Lu Tianlong thought to himself, "Oh no! The term 'childhood sweetheart' shouldn't be used lightly."

"Haha, that's true, Uncle Zhao." Lu Zhen didn't realize the problem and agreed with a smile.

"Ziqing and I have always had a good relationship," Lu Zhen added.

"How good is it?" Lin Fan asked calmly.

"Uh, Lin Fan, that's all in the past."

Lu Zhen's smile froze: "I have always treated Ziqing as my own sister, please don't misunderstand."

"Oh, dear sister? So, do you want to say something special?" Lin Fan raised his eyebrows.

"Hahaha, Mr. Lin was just joking. I just wanted to say that he and Ziqing have a good relationship. There's nothing else to it. I hope there's no misunderstanding."

Lu Tianlong hurriedly tried to smooth things over, but he was thinking in his heart, how come this guy changes his expression faster than turning the pages of a book?

"I see. Let's continue eating."

Lin Fan smiled slightly: "Please remember, inappropriate words can easily lead to misunderstandings, and the meal will be unpalatable."

"Okay." Lu Zhen gritted his teeth and agreed, feeling aggrieved.

Throughout the meal, the Lu family father and son walked on thin ice, carefully avoiding any words that might anger Lin Fan. Meanwhile, Lin Fan and Zhao Xingmin thoroughly enjoyed the food, as if that was their true purpose.

Lu Zhen looked at his father and got a slight shake of his head - if he turned against him now, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Things are almost over, so it doesn't matter if we take a little longer.

"Where did Mr. Lin work before he came to Ancheng?"

Lu Tianlong asked, thinking about finding out Lin Fan's background.

Even though he used all his available connections, he could only find out about Lin Fan's activities in Ancheng. As for his earlier experiences, they were like a stone sinking into the sea, with no trace left.

“I spent most of my time wandering abroad.”

Lin Fan chuckled and replied, "Since I haven't made a name for myself, I just want to go back home, find a wife, and live a stable life."

"Mr. Lin, you're joking. With your ability, you'd be a top figure anywhere." Lu Tianlong said respectfully.

"Patriarch Lu is indeed not a simple person. He speaks more tactfully than his son."

Lin Fan said with a hint of amusement, "So, you really should continue to serve as the head of the family. Your son still needs more experience."

Lu Tianlong's expression changed slightly. Why did the topic turn to this again? Was he trying to sow discord between father and son?

"By the way, Mr. Lu, I heard that you have also worked abroad. I wonder where?" Lin Fan turned to Lu Zhen and asked.

"I worked on Wall Street for a while, and then I started some business on my own." Lu Zhen was vague.

"Oh, I have some friends on Wall Street, like Osner and Blanket."

When Lin Fan mentioned these two names, Lu Zhen's eyes suddenly widened.

These two are both influential figures on Wall Street, and their every move can affect the changes in the global financial market.

"Really?" Although Lu Zhen didn't believe it in his heart, he still maintained a polite smile on the surface.

"When I was abroad, I often had dinner with them," Lin Fan added.

This sentence made Lu Zhen almost laugh out loud - eating together often?

How close a friend must one be to receive such treatment! You know, for someone like Osner, even if someone is willing to pay a huge amount of money just to have dinner with him, they will be declined.

"That's amazing! I thought only the President of the United States could have such an honor." Lu Zhen appeared convinced, but he disagreed in his heart.

Lin Fan just smiled and didn't explain further.

In fact, he had many more shocking experiences that he hadn't told about - those bigwigs often invited him to dinner, and he usually only agreed when he was in a good mood.

However, he was not in a hurry to reveal this fact.

Lu Zhen said anxiously, "Lin Fan, when I first met you, I felt that you were extraordinary."

"Father-in-law, is Young Master Lu mocking me?" Lin Fan turned and asked Zhao Xingmin.

"Don't think too much, he is just expressing his trust in you." Zhao Xingmin shook his head and said.

"Oh, you're not full yet?" Lin Fan asked again.

"Well, just a little bit more." Zhao Xingmin nodded.

"Okay." Lin Fan smiled and took a sip of wine.

The Lu family father and son looked confused, not understanding what the two were talking about in riddles.

At this time, Lu Tianlong smiled and interrupted: "Mr. Lin can make friends with world-renowned financial giants, which shows that you are also very remarkable."

"I heard that Mr. Lin also worked in the military?" Lu Tianlong continued to ask.

"I did stay there for a while, but I was helping with cooking in the kitchen. To be honest, many of our country's heroes and military elites have tasted my cooking." Lin Fan answered easily.

"Those who carry the star of generals on their shoulders have to curry favor with me. Do you know why?" Lin Fan deliberately kept people in suspense.

"Why?" Lu's father and son and Zhao Xingmin asked curiously.

"Because I not only cook, but also distribute the food. If they curry favor with me, I will give them more meat." Lin Fan grinned.

"Actually, whether I can eat more meat depends entirely on whether my hands shake or not." Lin Fan joked.

"Oh!" Not only the Lu father and son, but even Zhao Xingmin couldn't help but sigh, thinking that these words were too outrageous.

"Have you ever thought about how much they will owe me in the long run?

Take Nie Lin, the man who slapped you last time, for example. With just one word from me, a general-level figure would tell him to go home and farm. Tell me, if I told him to slap you, would he refuse?

Not to mention beating you, he would even do something more extreme." Lin Fan looked at Lu Zhen and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lu Zhen finally couldn't help but slam the table and stood up: "Lin Fan, don't go too far!"

"Master Lu, your son's scheming is not deep enough, and he is indeed not suitable to be the head of the family." Lin Fan ignored Lu Zhen and turned to Lu Tianlong.

"A qualified family head will treat you with a smile even if he wants to get rid of you."

"Mr. Lin, I sincerely invited you here today, but it seems that you don't give me face." Lu Tianlong no longer concealed his dissatisfaction.

"Sincerity? Can sincerity be demonstrated through a meal? Is this the only thing that matters between us, father-in-law and son-in-law?"

Lin Fan sneered and placed his right hand lightly on the edge of the table.

Seeing this situation, Zhao Xingmin leaned back slightly, ready to leave at any time.
