Fan Shenglun is not tall, with a broad face and thick eyebrows.
When he's not smiling, his expression is serious and cold, like a hot-tempered village party secretary who was forced to retire.
With a squinting smile and smoothing his sparse white hair, he has the air of a wealthy old man with a high pension.
Lu Yi had never actually met him.
Previously, Fan Huijun had tried various opportunities to invite Lu Yi to her home, but Lu Yi refused each time.
Fan Huijun had no choice but to show him a picture of the old man on her phone and told him to remember his face.
Upon seeing Fan Shenglun today, Lu Yi noticed that Fan Shenglun's features were rounder than in the photos.
"Lu Yi, you've been doing a great job lately. If you need any help, just let me know."
Upon hearing Fan Shenglun's words, everyone's expression changed.
They had indeed heard that there was a rising star in Jiangzhou recently.
First, rumors circulated that he had a close relationship with the second young master of the Gu family. Later, it was said that he also had some connection with the Lu family. Then, someone claimed, with great certainty, that he was from the Fan family...
At first, no one paid much attention, after all, there are countless true and false stories in the circle of the rich.
However, late last night, news of a move by the Huo family suddenly spread throughout Jiangzhou.
The Huo family's old butler called the largest flower shop in Jiangzhou, first asking about the price of the highest-grade wreaths. After the shop quoted a price, he insisted on ten pairs.
Flower shops are also a hotbed of information, especially in a restless place like Jiangzhou.
Any news or gossip within the wealthy circle can spread online in less than a minute.
That's why wealthy families who order flowers every day often have their drivers and housekeepers chat with the shop owners for a while.
You might just hear some amazing secret.
The news of Lu Yi's paternal uncle, Lu Gensheng, being five or seven days old spread to every household in this way.
Du Guanglong, leading a group of his men, watched as the Huo family's car appeared in the parking lot. He threw the cigarette he was holding onto the ground and crushed it with his toe.
"Wow, is this a luxury car show?"
"Have we gone to the wrong place?"
"Quickly call Big Ears and Old Bear to ask what's going on."
The boy with glasses took out his phone and made several calls, but no one answered.
Du Guanglong glanced at the pile of luxury cars, his face darkening. "Dongzi, Little Glasses, take the brothers inside first."
Dongzi winked at the boy with glasses and deliberately stayed behind, walking at the very back.
"Big brother, what did you find?"
Du Guanglong tilted his head towards a black SUV in the far corner. "I ran into an old acquaintance and just wanted to say hello."
Dongzi stared at the car for a few more seconds, then whispered, "Should I have the brothers get ready?"
Du Guanglong raised his hand and slapped him on the forehead.
"Get lost, what are you preparing? You go in too, and when you see Lao San, tell him I have something to do and will be delayed for a few minutes."
Dongzi winced in pain.
"I was just worried about you, brother. The food just doesn't taste right today!"
Du Guanglong kicked him in the butt, "Shut up, what's that smell, you dog! Hurry up and go keep an eye on those little brats."
Just as Dongzi left, a man in a sharp suit walked over, clasped his hands in front of him, and bowed slightly.
"Brother Long, Master Huo is waiting for you in the car."
Du Guanglong glanced at him sideways, "It's not that he's waiting for me, it's that I'm waiting for him... As a man, you need to learn how to speak!"
The man was so intimidated by his gaze that he took a few steps back.
"Yes, Brother Long!"
...
Watching her son beam with a natural smile in someone else's embrace, Qin Fengying felt as if she had taken root in the ground.
Shock, confusion, anger, and regret—a complex mix of emotions overwhelmed her, making her feel utterly ashamed.
“Mr. Fan, thank you for coming. My parents and uncle would be very happy to know this in the afterlife.”
After the polite hug, Lu Yi still kept his distance from Fan Shenglun.
His sense of proportion was just right, and Fan Shenglun's smile deepened.
There aren't many spoiled brats like that anymore.
"Xiao Yi, I'm your godfather. You'll be joining the Fan family in a few days, and you and Jun Jun will be treated the same."
"I heard you have good grades. Are you interested in applying for the special training program offered by Fan Family Company?"
Lu Yi glanced at Fan Huijun, who was smiling broadly.
It doesn't show the bottom.
"The Fan family's targeted training program is designed to cultivate more medical device design and R&D talents, and I'm afraid I won't meet the requirements."
"However, I will definitely work hard, because this is the major I aspire to."
Lu Yi's answer once again impressed Fan Shenglun.
"Excellent! He's definitely a promising talent."
"Come on, take me inside to say a few words to Mr. Lu. I won't cause you any more trouble here."
"Your birthday is in a few days. You can tell me your wishes at the birthday party. With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything..."
These words have surpassed everything.
Fan Shenglun made it clear that anyone who dared to bully Lu Yi would be making an enemy of the Fan family.
Upon hearing this, everyone present stared at Lu Yi with envy.
"Which way should I kowtow to to meet such a great godfather?"
"No wonder the Gu family cooperated with him; they must have known Lu Yi's identity all along!"
"Of course, the Gu family is one of the top families in Jiangzhou. It would be unbelievable if they didn't even know that."
"Look, isn't that Lin Hongtao? Lu Yi has quite the influence; even the Lin family head has been alarmed by the five-day mourning period for a mere cousin!"
"Didn't you see over there? The entire Lu family has been mobilized..."
"Isn't it strange? Lu Yi happens to have the surname Lu. Could he really be related to the Lu family?"
