Chapter 817: An Attitude That Changed Too Quickly
Due to this sudden turn of events, the quarrel between the Lin family and the Song family mysteriously disappeared.
Both sides, as if sharing the same thought, unanimously stopped mentioning what had happened earlier.
The Lin family was struck by enormous joy, with everyone busy attending to the guests.
On the Song family's side, after seeing the eldest brother's look, Song Lao'er and Song Lao'san immediately signaled and quietly led their people back to the memorial hall.
Even the funeral wreaths that had previously occupied the Lin family's space were quietly moved back by the Song family's people.
"When Mr. Ma heard Mr. Chen needed cars, he immediately mobilized all available vehicles from the company to send them to you."
"Moreover, Mr. Ma also reached out to his network of friends and borrowed several more cars for you."
Chen Fan smiled wryly.
He had originally asked Mr. Ma to borrow about 10 cars just to make a show.
But Mr. Ma had gone above and beyond.
Upon hearing about making a show, he not only sent company cars but also mobilized his connections to borrow cars from friends.
In the end, more than 30 cars arrived, all black Mercedes-Benz.
This display was indeed impressive.
"Mr. Ma is too kind."
"Please thank Mr. Ma for me."
Vice Chairman Gao quickly said, "It's our pleasure. You're Mr. Ma's distinguished guest, and also our company's distinguished guest."
"Before coming, Mr. Ma specially instructed that if you have any needs, you can tell me anytime, and we'll definitely do our best to fulfill them."
Chen Fan nodded, "This is already very good. Thank you, everyone."
Then Chen Fan looked up at Su Xuecheng beside him.
"Dad, these are all my friends who came to attend the memorial service today."
Su Xuecheng was still somewhat dazed, seemingly not having recovered from the shock.
Only when Chen Fan gave him a look did Su Xuecheng immediately react.
"Oh, yes, yes, honored guests, please come inside and sit."
The uncle on that side also immediately ran over.
"Everyone, please follow me. We didn't know such distinguished guests would visit today, we've been truly remiss..."
Vice Chairman Gao was also shrewd, immediately catching Chen Fan's earlier form of address.
Dad?
He immediately observed Su Xuecheng more carefully, is this Mr. Chen's father?
They don't look very alike.
His gaze inadvertently glanced over and saw the beautiful young lady standing beside Chen Fan.
Vice Chairman Gao's heart trembled, immediately feeling he had discovered something significant.
So the person before him was actually Mr. Chen's father-in-law?
In an instant, the expression on Vice Chairman Gao's face became warm and modest.
Ignoring others, he chatted with Su Xuecheng as they walked into the Guiyuan Hall.
At the entrance, looking at the piled funeral wreaths, Su Ruochu stood in place, staring blankly at Chen Fan, her eyes flickering.
Chen Fan walked over with a smile.
"What are you looking at? Stunned?"
Su Ruochu stared at Chen Fan and said softly, "I'm wondering how many more surprises you have that I don't know about."
"Are they from that... Taobao website that's been very popular online these past 2 years?"
Chen Fan understood Su Ruochu's meaning and nodded slightly.
"That's right."
"When did you contact them?"
"Last night, when you were washing up."
Su Ruochu pouted, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Chen Fan immediately explained seriously, "Yesterday when I saw these people bullying my wife, I was upset, so I had to get back at them for you."
"Fighting wouldn't be appropriate at today's occasion, so I thought about it and decided this method was most suitable."
"Didn't your mom want to make the event grander? So I helped her make it grand, overwhelmingly surpassing the other side."
"How about it? Satisfied?"
Su Ruochu almost laughed, nodding slightly.
"Satisfied."
"Thank you."
"Saying thank you again."
Su Ruochu gently linked her arm with Chen Fan, then raised her head and kissed Chen Fan on the cheek.
"Thank you..."
On the steps nearby, Lin Yutong happened to see this scene and immediately nervously hid behind the doorframe.
However, two seconds later, this girl secretly poked out her head again, curiously examining Chen Fan.
In just one night, her impression of her cousin's boyfriend had undergone an earth-shattering change.
However, the Lin family's shock had not yet ended.
In the Guiyuan Hall, the uncle who was originally receiving Vice Chairman Gao and others suddenly had his phone ring.
Taking a look, he quickly walked to an empty corner where no one was around.
"Hello, Chairman Liu..."
"Ah? You want to come over?"
"Didn't you say it wasn't convenient today?"
"No, of course I welcome you."
"Good, good, good, I'll wait for you to arrive at the venue..."
After hanging up the phone, there was some excitement on the uncle's face.
After making so many phone calls last night, contacting so many business bosses, finally one was willing to come.
However, the phone rang again.
"Hello? Chairman Gao?"
"Ah... you want to come over. Didn't you say you were going to a meeting out of town?"
"You didn't go? Oh my, to cancel such an important meeting for this small matter of mine, I really don't know what to say."
"Thank you, Chairman Gao..."
The uncle hung up the phone, feeling a bit excited inside, looks like his reputation wasn't bad after all.
The third phone call came.
Followed by the fourth.
The fifth...
Gradually, the uncle's expression became somewhat strange.
He had already sensed something was off.
These business acquaintances, who refused to come no matter how much he begged last night.
What's going on today?
Why are they suddenly all requesting to come in droves?
If it was one or two, it might still be because of his face.
But with phone calls coming one after another, it was obviously not because of him. The uncle didn't think his reputation was that significant.
Especially the tone of these people on the phone was clearly very different from last night, so enthusiastic, so polite...
Soon, the next phone call revealed the mystery to the uncle.
"Hello, Chairman Sun."
"You want to come too? No problem."
"What Mr. Chen?"
The uncle hadn't reacted yet when the voice on the phone was already teasingly saying,
"Old Lin, this is where you've been unfair."
"We've done several good business deals before, yet you kept such big news from me."
"I've heard it all, the founder of Ruofan Group went to the memorial service at your place."
"And I also heard that he has close ties with Chairman Ma of Alibaba, and they even sent funeral wreaths to your family, right?"
The uncle: "..."
His mind went blank.
At this moment, he finally realized what was happening.
There are no absolute secrets in the business world.
With Mr. Ma coming to send funeral wreaths so grandly, this news definitely couldn't be kept secret.
So the news quickly spread throughout the Suzhou and Hangzhou area.
This led to many bosses receiving the news.
Only upon inquiry did they understand what was going on.
No wonder all these acquainted bosses suddenly changed their attitude, enthusiastically expressing their desire to come and pay respects.
Looking towards the door, at this moment that young man was sitting on the steps outside chatting with his niece.
The uncle's heart surged with waves of emotion.
What kind of boyfriend had his niece found!
