Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Whose Face Do I Represent Eight o’clock, the County Government’s meeting room was spacious enough to accommodate dozens of people. All the business representatives attending this investment meeting had entered the venue one after another. Since there were nameplates marking everyone’s seats, the attendees quickly found their respective places and began to observe the other seating arrangements. Aside from the front row, which was reserved for government officials, the second row and beyond were designated for key enterprise representatives, who were most likely to be selected for projects. Therefore, everyone was watching to see who sat in the second row. Often, you couldn’t get projects directly from the government, but you could from these individuals. This was the origin of what’s known as the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary packages, and most seated here were from state-owned enterprises, whose power and connections were unmatched by private firms. Lin Fan, as a staff member, naturally arrived at the scene early, too. Dressed in a crisp suit, he wore a smile as he watched Ke Yunan approach. Today, she still wore a business suit, perfectly outlining her graceful figure. She emanated both the capability of a professional woman and a unique sexiness. Her long legs wrapped in black stockings shimmered slightly under the lights, radiating elegance and mystery. Even when her gaze met Lin Fan’s, she could quickly look away. The confident smile on her lips carried a cold aloofness that made others dare only to admire from a distance and not to violate. "Who the hell did this!" Just as most people had entered the venue, an angry roar sounded. Lucki was seen grabbing the nameplate on the table, furiously shouting. "I’m sorry, may I ask what’s wrong?" Lin Fan gestured to stop another staff member and quickly walked over to Lucki, still wearing a friendly smile. "It’s you, kid..." Lin Fan’s appearance momentarily stunned Lucki, but then he revealed a cold sneer and said, "Lin, are you fucking venting on me? You even got my name wrong. My name is Lucki, and you’ve printed it as ’Lucky?’ Are you trying to ridicule me on purpose?" "I apologize for this. It might be a small mistake by our staff. I’ll get it changed for you right away." Lin Fan still maintained a professional smile and humbly reached out to take the nameplate, only to have it snatched back by Lucki. "Lin, I think you fucking did this on purpose. What, just because I slept with your girlfriend, you need to be so secretly vicious? You petty official, now you’ve learned how to take revenge? Then show some guts and confront me in the open, what skill is there in skulking in the shadows? I think this is all your life will ever amount to." Lucki intentionally raised his voice, ensuring that everyone in the conference room could hear, including Ke Yunan in the third row, who frowned slightly. "It’s just a print error, there’s no need to escalate to personal attacks, right?" Lin Fan still stood respectfully, a smile at the corner of his mouth that others couldn’t quite understand. "What do you mean personal attacks? I’m just stating facts. You’re intentionally trying to make me sick. You think changing a nameplate can humiliate me? Let me tell you, this is your life, that’s all you’re good for, just a worthless existence from here on." The rage that had built up from being bullied by Lin Fan over the days finally found a vent, and Lucki, thoroughly enraged, poked Lin Fan with his finger. Lin Fan neither dodged nor lost his temper, but simply stood there honestly, listening to the other’s insults, which seemed almost like a personal attack, causing the surrounding people to frown at the scene. "Ahem..." Just then, a soft cough sounded, and Zhu Defu, flanked by County Magistrate Luan and others, entered the meeting room, just in time to see Lucki fiercely berating Lin Fan, which caused a noticeable change in his expression. Seeing Zhu Defu, Lucki immediately put on an ingratiating smile and then, as if shooing away an insect, waved his hand dismissively at Lin Fan, "All right, get lost, don’t disgust me here." "I’m sorry!" Lin Fan, showing no temper at all, bowed deeply to him, glanced at Zhu Defu, and then turned to sit down on the far right chair in the first row, drawing a sharp intake of breath from the crowd. He actually had his own place in the first row. Just who was this person? "Let’s start the meeting." Zhu Defu, now seated, gave Lin Fan a meaningful look from the corner of his eye. "Okay!" Lin Fan, holding the script, stepped up to the podium. This meeting, which was supposed to be chaired personally by County Magistrate Luan, was now being hosted by him. This honor, seen in everyone’s eyes, implied something, including to Ke Yunan. "You little bastard really played coy, and this time, that idiot Lucki is going to be played to death by you!" Watching Lin Fan’s composed opening remarks at the podium, she couldn’t help but reveal a mysterious smile. She finally understood the words Lin Fan said before he left that morning. "Today is the most unlucky day for your legal husband!"
