237: Chapter 233 Becoming True Friends with Hu Jing 237: Chapter 233 Becoming True Friends with Hu Jing They played until nearly midnight when Ye Fan, along with Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng, left the nightclub. Ye Fan intended for them to stay overnight at the Presidential Suite of Dingsheng International Hotel, but Lu Chengqiang, worried that Green Wolf might actually smash Heroic Bar in the middle of the night, decided to go to Heroic Bar to keep watch. Shi Sheng also said he would stay overnight there. Remembering Nie Yuling’s phone call warning, Ye Fan then drove them to Heroic Bar. As a large bar, the Heroic Bar had plenty of resting rooms, so it was completely fine for Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng to stay overnight there. The next day, Ye Fan continued to take a leave of absence from work and drove directly to Yiqing Bar. Upon arriving at Heroic Bar, Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng had already gotten up, eaten breakfast, and were standing in front of the bar chatting. Seeing Ye Fan’s car approaching, they immediately stopped their chat and went to greet him. Ye Fan didn’t get out of the car; he stuck his head out and asked, “Have you two had breakfast yet? Once you’ve ordered, get in the car immediately.” Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng laughed as they opened the door and got into the car. Once in the car, Lu Chengqiang asked Ye Fan, “Ye Bro, where are we headed?” “Today’s task is to first check out the martial arts gym, then take you two to buy a couple of cars. I can’t be your driver every day,” Ye Fan said while driving. Hearing they were going to see a martial arts gym, Shi Sheng couldn’t help but feel a bit excited and eager. Seeing Shi Sheng’s expression in the rearview mirror, Ye Fan felt a bit apologetic and said, “Stone, your martial arts gym is still in the renovation stage, so the upcoming work might be troublesome for you.” “Hehe, alright,” Shi Sheng laughed, thinking that the martial arts gym was only planned to invest around one million, not a very large one, and he could manage it somehow. Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Xianxing East Road Qiyang Commercial Building. Ye Fan led Shi Sheng and Lu Chengqiang in the elevator to the third floor. Coming out of the elevator, they saw a bustling renovation scene with probably over a hundred people working. “This is our gym,” Ye Fan pointed to the entire third floor that spanned over a thousand square meters and said. Shi Sheng’s mouth dropped open. Lu Chengqiang, however, laughed out loud, “Wow, once this gym is built, it will certainly be spectacular!” Regaining his senses, Shi Sheng looked at Ye Fan, his eyes filled with gratitude, and said, “Ye Bro, this gym is too big, I am truly unworthy.” “Haha, I think this gym is still too small,” Ye Fan laughed, “I actually wanted to rent the fourth floor too, but they wouldn’t lease it to us, so we had to settle for a smaller size. From now on, this gym is yours to manage. You have to take good care of it.” After being excited for a while, Shi Sheng looked at the vast gym and earnestly said to Ye Fan, “Ye Bro, I’m afraid I might let you down. I probably don’t have the management skills to handle such a big gym.” “This…” Ye Fan pondered, knowing that Shi Sheng wanted a gym because of his passion for martial arts. Being a martial arts fanatic, if he had to spend a lot of time and effort managing the daily sundries of the gym, he might not find it enjoyable. Although Lu Chengqiang hadn’t known Shi Sheng for long, they were almost inseparable. Knowing Shi Sheng’s passion, he also chimed in, “Yes, Ye Bro, we’re rough folks, managing these detailed tasks probably isn’t for us. Ye Bro, can we find someone else reliable to manage the gym, and let Stone focus on being a martial arts coach and practicing martial arts?” “Yes, Chengqiang Bro is right,” Shi Sheng nodded repeatedly. Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, “You have to be the head of the gym. We can find someone else to help you manage it. Look through your friends and see if there’s someone suitable.” Shi Sheng immediately shook his head and said, “I also don’t know which of my friends are suitable for management. Brother Ye, could you please find another manager for me?” “Alright,” Ye Fan nodded. Shi Sheng immediately smiled happily, “Thank you, Brother Ye.” As Ye Fan and the others were chatting, the project manager supervising the site spotted Ye Fan and came over to greet him. Ye Fan introduced Shi Sheng to the project manager, telling him that Shi Sheng was the owner of the martial arts gym and that he would be supervising the quality of the renovation from now on. The project manager immediately shook hands with Shi Sheng warmly, asking him to take good care of everything. After walking around the martial arts gym renovation site, Ye Fan left with Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng and then drove to buy cars. He bought two cars worth more than two hundred thousand for Lu Chengqiang and Shi Sheng, and after having lunch, Ye Fan parted ways with them. In the afternoon, Ye Fan went to work at Emali Group. Hu Jing saw Ye Fan come in and couldn’t take her eyes off him. Feeling the pressure from Hu Jing’s stare, Ye Fan asked, “Manager Hu, why are you looking at me like that? Have you taken a fancy to me?” “Really, you?” Hu Jing tossed a seductive glance at Ye Fan habitually, then arrogantly lifted her foxy face, “I suggest you reshape yourself before we talk.” Ye Fan put on a mock bitter smile and said, “Isn’t that a bit too harsh?” “Being polite here,” Hu Jing said with a smile. Pretending to sigh, Ye Fan said, “Sigh, I didn’t plan on trying to please you, but now it seems like there’s no chance at all. Oh well, I might as well give those two front row tickets to Ma Zhengyou and Fang Yueyun.” Upon hearing the word “tickets,” Hu Jing immediately perked up, exclaiming excitedly, “You got the tickets! Give them to me quickly.” “Why should I?” Ye Fan asked deliberately, “Pleasing you is useless.” “Giggle, it’s useful, it’s useful,” Hu Jing flirtatiously cooed, not only continually batting her eyelashes at Ye Fan but also leaving her desk to stand in front of him, purposely looking him up and down, “Now that I see, you actually have a lot of manly charm. Being your girlfriend must feel very secure.” Of course, Ye Fan knew these words were just to cheer him up, but it was enough. Since Lu Xiaoman was no longer going to Shen Yan’s concert, he had already decided to give the two tickets to Hu Jing. Ye Fan walked back to his desk, took the two tickets out of the drawer, and handed them to Hu Jing. Hu Jing quickly snatched them, then giggled like a scheming fox. She carefully inspected the two tickets and realized they were adjacent to the one Ye Fan had previously given her, suddenly understanding that Ye Fan had had these two tickets all along. “Nice one, Ye Fan, you’ve been playing with me all along!” she said slightly annoyed, “You had the tickets from the start!” Ye Fan laughed, “Oh, don’t be ungrateful now. I’m giving you three front row tickets for free, and if you’re still mad at me, that would be too much.” Hu Jing instantly cooled down, threw Ye Fan a flirtatious glance, and giggled, “Giggle, okay, I won’t be mad. Speaking of generosity, those three front-row tickets to Shen Yan’s concert are worth more than twenty thousand. Let me pay you back some money; I can’t just take advantage like this.” Ye Fan shook his head and said, “If you give me money, then I’ll have to take the tickets back. These three tickets are not for sale; they’re only for friends.” Seeing the sincerity in Ye Fan’s tone, Hu Jing was touched and said, “Alright. I’ll accept them then. From now on, you’re my friend, not just a simple colleague.”
