CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 109: WHAT, HE WANTS TO BE THE KING OF JIANGNAN’S BUSINESS WORLD?

Anna was a bit puzzled why Lin Fan asked this question, so she could only reply, "The big figures in Yun City’s business world that I know of, there are three, and they all own billion-dollar corporations."

Lin Fan asked, "Which three?"

Anna replied, "The big boss of Zhongtong Express Company, He Chao, the big boss of Yida Mall, Wang Hailin, and... the big boss of Shengshi Group, Feng Wanshan."

Lin Fan laughed, "Feng Wanshan? I know him, he bid against me for Yunding Manor last time, but eventually lost to me. He’s also a big shot in Yun City’s business world? Haha, nothing much!"

While Lin Fan spoke in a disdainful tone, he paid attention to Anna’s expression.

Anna’s face remained calm, without any hint of abnormality, but she also didn’t respond to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan sneered inwardly, this Anna is truly talented, hiding so well. It seems winning her over won’t be an easy task.

He didn’t want to continue discussing Feng Wanshan, so he asked, "What about Jiangnan City, who are the business big shots there?"

In Eastern Huaxia, separated by the Yangtze River, there’s Jiangnan and the North of the River. Yun City is also part of Jiangnan City.

Anna said, "In Jiangnan, the business moguls are known as the ten kings. Besides the three major figures in Yun City just mentioned, there are seven others distributed in other cities of Jiangnan."

Lin Fan made a sound of acknowledgment, "Who leads these ten kings?"

Anna replied, "The top seat among the business moguls in Jiangnan belongs to Wei Tiansheng of Wangu Group. The market value of Wangu Group has already broken through 350 billion, ranking 30th in Huaxia."

Wei Tiansheng!

This name, Lin Fan was hearing for the first time. Previously, he was a delivery worker and didn’t really know the business world.

"Did you know that I’ve recently established a group company?" Lin Fan said.

Anna replied, "This... I’m just your housekeeper, not very clear about it."

Lin Fan found it amusing; she was an undercover agent, how could she not be clear about his situation.

Lin Fan said, "My company is called Mortal Group, and I set a small target, which is to take the top seat in Jiangnan’s business world!"

Of course, Lin Fan deliberately said this to Anna. The task given by the system is to build a trillion-dollar group. Merely the top seat in Jiangnan’s business world, with just a few hundred billion in market value, can’t satisfy the system’s appetite.

Anna was secretly shocked, Lin Fan’s ambition was too big, could this be the reason for his recent spree of buying land and companies, to build a billion-dollar group?

Tonight was truly a harvest, Anna was already impatient to report to Feng Wanshan.

Lin Fan looked at Anna and said, "Sooner or later I will pull Wei Tiansheng down from the top seat, and my first step is to pull down those three big bosses in Yun City, He Chao, Wang Hailin, and Feng Wanshan! Of course, in my eyes, they are just nobodies. Anna, do you think I can do it?"

Anna said, "I don’t understand this, no need for Mr. Lin to ask me, it’s getting late, I need to go rest."

Anna found an excuse and left the living room.

In a secluded corner, Anna dialed Feng Wanshan’s number and reported everything she heard tonight to him.

Feng Wanshan was still in Shengshi Group’s office, and he stood up excitedly.

"What did you say, Lin Fan wants to become the king of Jiangnan’s business world?"

"What? He first wants to pull us three down?"

"He actually dares to look down on me, saying I’m a nobody, damn it!"

"This kid, he’s too arrogant!"

Feng Wanshan sneered, but for some reason, he felt a tinge of excitement, a thrill as if meeting a worthy adversary.

Anna said, "Godfather, he is practically declaring war on you, should we stop him?"

Feng Wanshan said, "No need, what Lin Fan is doing is all under Lin Beixuan’s instructions, we can’t alert the enemy and scare them off. Let’s first see what he does next, and strike at the right time. By then, I have my ways to force Lin Beixuan out!"

Anna said, "What do you want me to do then, godfather?"

Feng Wanshan said, "Just stay by Lin Fan’s side, help me gather information, you’re doing great!"

Meanwhile, in the living room.

Lin Fan sat calmly on the sofa, savoring tea.

The top-grade Huang Mountain’s Mao Feng Tea, exclusively for dignitaries, is indeed excellent.

If he’s guessing correctly, by now, Anna should have gone to report to Feng Wanshan.

He didn’t know what purpose Feng Wanshan had for sending Anna, so he deliberately leaked some information, as if declaring war on Feng Wanshan.

If Feng Wanshan takes actions against Mortal Group afterward, it would tantamount to exposing himself.

At this moment, Lin Fan looked every bit the master strategist.

However...

"Oh no!"

Lin Fan suddenly clutched his stomach, his powerful aura breaking instantly, as he scurried embarrassingly toward the toilet.

Nie Qiao’er’s dark chicken wings were truly inconceivable, they made his stomach upset again...

...

Meanwhile at Tangchen Yipin Building A, 12th floor, after seeing Lin Fan off, Nie Qiao’er was at home tidying up, suddenly sighed, seeming to be in low spirits.

She dreamed of becoming an outstanding singer-songwriter, so she stayed at home every day, diligently writing songs and posting her creations online, which gave her a bit of fame, but far from what she desired.

She still hadn’t managed to compose an outstanding, game-changing piece.

Lately, she had been working on a new song, hoping for it, but got stuck due to a lack of inspiration, leaving her puzzled.

In truth, she didn’t particularly enjoy cleaning or cooking, it was just to divert her attention, thinking that taking a break might spark some songwriting inspiration.

But she realized it hadn’t; she still didn’t know how to write the new song.

"Could it be that this song is doomed?" Nie Qiao’er sighed, feeling puzzled.

Approaching the electronic piano, she noticed a pile of paper a bit messy on the desk and decided to tidy it up.

Suddenly, Nie Qiao’er accidentally noticed some scribbles on the papers, she paused, then was immediately captivated.

Very quickly, Nie Qiao’er displayed a look of astonishment.

"Oh my god, is this song actually completed?"

"It can be written like this, the melody, the harmony, the key change, they’re wonderful!"

"Oh deity, this is exactly the form I wanted, how did I not realize it before, a sudden moment of clarity!"

In that instance, Nie Qiao’er was overjoyed and without thinking, sat in front of the electronic piano and began to play and sing.

The beautiful melody, catchy lyrics, along with her sweet voice, were just perfect.

Nie Qiao’er immersed herself in creation...

She stayed busy deep into the night, recorded a rough version, and couldn’t wait to upload it online, sharing her joy with her fans.

Each time she finished a song, she would typically go to a professional studio to record, then upload online. This was the only time she felt such an urgency to share, because she genuinely loved this song.

After finally uploading the song, she suddenly remembered an issue.

Who helped her revise the song?

She had been completely captivated by the song and forgot about this crucial question.

These past few days she had been home alone, without friends visiting, except one person, today her landlord brother came by!

And while she was busy in the kitchen, she seemed to remember seeing Lin Fan standing by the electronic piano, but didn’t pay much attention at the time.

"Oh my god, could it be that the landlord brother helped me revise the song? The landlord brother is unexpectedly a music genius?" Nie Qiao’er felt shocked by her own discovery.

If it weren’t so late at night, she would immediately call Lin Fan.

"I’ll find him tomorrow. I must properly thank him, and also seek his advice. A music genius like him isn’t easily encountered." Nie Qiao’er planned.

"Oh no, it’s already this late, I still have to go to Yun City Music Academy for classes tomorrow, I should hurry to bed..."

Nie Qiao’er quickly tidied up and went to sleep.

And at this moment.

Her newly uploaded song had already started to go viral online...

"Oh my god, this new song is so amazing!"

"King of melodies!"

"It’s so good, my ears are blessed."

"I feel like I’m in love."

"The youth of mine has returned."

"..."

For a while, countless accolades and the netizens began frantically sharing and spreading it...

Nie Qiao’er, overnight fame!
