Chapter 816: Such Great Face
"What's going on?"
"Why are there so many cars?"
"They're all Mercedes-Benz."
The guests from both families were stunned. They even forgot about their arguments, all curiously looking towards the entrance of the funeral home.
At this moment, cars were still continuously driving in through the entrance.
It wasn't easy to gather so many Mercedes-Benz cars at once.
Who could have such influence?
All the cars that drove in went straight through the inner plaza, then directly headed towards where the Lin and Song families were standing.
Seeing this, everyone from the Lin family felt despair.
It's over. This must be the motorcade called by the Song family.
Being able to summon so many luxury cars at once showed the Song family's power.
On the Song family's side, Second Brother Song and Third Brother Song had the same thought, both turning their heads in surprise to look at their eldest brother standing at the entrance.
They wondered if these people were called by Big Brother.
However, looking at Elder Brother Song Weixiong standing on the steps, his expression was equally surprised, suggesting it wasn't him who called these people.
Third Brother Song was confused - if Big Brother didn't call them, then who did?
It couldn't be the Lin family next to them, right?
Don't joke around.
He had already thoroughly investigated the Lin family.
They were just an ordinary middle-class family in the area.
The only one with some capability was the Lin family's eldest son, who merely ran a small company, not even worth the three brothers' attention.
Moreover, if the Lin family had such power, they would have fought back when they were humiliated yesterday, why wait until now?
Thus, under the tense gaze of both families, the motorcade slowly crossed the front plaza and came directly to where the two families stood.
They parked in a line, and as the car doors opened, young men in black suits stepped out.
Bang, bang, bang.
A series of intermittent door-closing sounds echoed in everyone's ears, making them all nervous.
This scene was too grand.
By estimation, at least 30-plus Mercedes-Benz cars had arrived, and looking at these young men, each wearing black suits with small white flowers on their chests, they clearly came prepared.
At this time, a transport pickup truck also drove in, its back loaded full of funeral wreaths.
The young men in black suits immediately ran over to carefully unload the wreaths.
A middle-aged man in a neat suit quickly walked towards the crowd, followed by two assistants, one male and one female.
"Excuse me, which one is Mr. Chen Fan?"
Mr. Chen?
Who is Mr. Chen?
On the Song family's side, Second Brother Song and Third Brother Song looked at each other in confusion, then simultaneously turned to look at their elder brother behind them.
But Elder Brother Song was also frowning in confusion.
It seemed there wasn't anyone called Chen Fan among today's guests.
The Lin family's side was different.
Especially Su Ruochu's relatives, upon hearing this, almost immediately looked at Chen Fan who was standing at the front of the crowd, their expressions extremely interesting.
Chen Fan didn't notice the gazes around him, only looking at the man who had just spoken.
"That's me."
The middle-aged man sized up Chen Fan, his eyes clearly flashing with surprise.
He had heard that the founder of Ruofan Group was very young, and seeing him today, he was even younger than imagined.
However, this middle-aged man quickly adjusted his emotions and stepped forward.
"Hello, Mr. Chen. Let me introduce myself first, I'm Gao Fei, Vice Chairman of Alibaba Business Unit."
"Mr. Ma has a very important meeting to attend, so he specially sent me to represent him in delivering his regards."
Chen Fan shook hands with him, "Vice Chairman Gao, thank you for your trouble."
"No trouble at all, haha, us working folks are here to serve the boss."
This Vice Chairman Gao kept a very humble attitude. As a company executive, he understood better than anyone that the person before him wasn't just the founder of Ruofan Group.
He was also Mr. Ma's partner, and reportedly the third-largest individual shareholder of Alibaba.
So he had to be courteous.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma asked me to present wreaths on behalf of the company for the elderly at today's memorial service. Where do you think... would be appropriate to place them?"
Chen Fan glanced at the wreaths being carried by the black-suited men behind, scanned the area, and pointed.
"Just place them at the entrance."
"Alright." Gao Fei immediately turned around and pointed.
"Put up the wreaths."
The black-suited men finally carefully carried the wreaths over and arranged them neatly one by one.
The two families at the scene watched this in shock, seemingly not yet recovered from their amazement.
Someone's gaze accidentally swept over the elegiac couplets on the wreaths and exclaimed in surprise.
"Alibaba pays respects?"
"Could it be that Alibaba from our Suzhou and Hangzhou?"
After this reminder, everyone hurriedly looked at the elegiac couplets on the wreaths.
What they didn't know shocked them when they saw it.
Taobao, Alipay... there was even one that read "Mr. Ma Yun pays respects"...
Oh my god, if it was just one name being repeated, that would be fine.
Now seeing these names, even a fool would know where these people came from.
This was clearly from their local most famous company, the Alibaba Group.
How could the Lin family have connections with the Alibaba Group?
This... how is this possible?
On the Lin family's side, the shock was no less than the opposite side.
Those who didn't understand might be excused, but those who knew who Chen Fan was, like Su Ruochu's uncles and aunts, were all staring at Chen Fan in a daze, as if seeing him anew.
Su Xuecheng and Lin Wanxiu had similar expressions.
Especially Lin Wanxiu, who had even forgotten her previous anger and was now quietly questioning her husband with a puzzled face.
"Taobao? Is that the online shopping Taobao?"
"Yes."
"How does Little Chen know their founder?"
"I don't know."
Su Xuecheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Although he had known that his son-in-law was quite remarkable, he hadn't expected him to be this impressive.
The business friends he knew had become big business tycoons like Ma Yun.
This guy, what level had he reached in these years?
Also, why had his daughter never mentioned any of this to him?
Su Xuecheng secretly glanced at his daughter.
He found that Su Ruochu was looking at Chen Fan with surprise and bewilderment.
Obviously, his daughter didn't know about all this either.
Sigh. This silly girl.
Vice Chairman Gao was good at handling matters. Not only did he present wreaths purchased on behalf of the company, but in the end, he even personally took a wreath from his assistant's hands. Looking at the elegiac couplet written on it, it was actually his own name.
This guy had even purchased a wreath in his personal capacity. It was obviously intentionally giving face to Chen Fan.
Because there were so many wreaths, the steps were almost full.
When two men in black suits were placing the wreaths, they accidentally bumped into and knocked over a wreath placed by the neighboring Song family while bending over.
At this, both families' expressions changed.
The Lin family's people were worried that the Song family would get angry.
However, the Song family's people only had a slight change in expression.
From beginning to end, no one dared to speak up.
Even Second Brother Song and Third Brother Song secretly looked at their elder brother's expression and managed to hold back their anger.
