Chapter 256: Chapter 183: Lu Fan Books the Entire Western Restaurant! A Grand Gesture

Right now, Jiang Sifan was in the studio assigning tasks to everyone.

As his good brothers, Gao Lao, Brother Ming, and Qiu Zai naturally had his back.

Some even took time away from gaming to help out.

Of course.

Jiang Sifan wouldn’t treat them poorly. He made sure to hire them at a rate higher than any part-time job off-campus.

Because of this, his classmates were completely devoted to helping him.

Just when Jiang Sifan and Wen Wan were confident that their Starry Studio would absolutely outperform Xu Junjie, Xu Junjie suddenly gave him a call.

"Hello,"

"Sifan, I think if we keep fighting like this, it’ll be mutually destructive."

Jiang Sifan recognized Xu Junjie’s voice immediately.

He hadn’t expected the other man to take the initiative and sue for peace.

To figure out Xu Junjie’s motive, Jiang Sifan probed, "How is it mutually destructive? I think our Starry Studio is doing just fine."

"I’m well aware your prices are much lower than before. We’re both stuck in a price war, just like JD.com and Meituan. There’s no future in this. So how about this? Let’s stop fighting. I can use my eloquence to pull in clients for you, and we can discuss a commission. What do you think?"

Jiang Sifan never imagined Xu Junjie would say something like this.

’How did the high-and-mighty Minister of the Dual Innovation Department from just a little while ago turn into such a wimp?’

He said teasingly, "Minister Xu, I don’t think that’s necessary. Let’s just mind our own business. You can fight your price war, and I’ll focus on my service. We’ll each rely on our own abilities."

"Sifan, I’m your senior. If not for my sake, then for the sake of our school—at the very least, we’re from the same college. I’m offering to transfer my clients to you, and all I’m asking for is a cut. You can’t even agree to that?" Although Xu Junjie was getting angry, he swallowed his pride in order to get rid of this mess as quickly as possible.

Jiang Sifan knew Xu Junjie wasn’t being this benevolent. ’He must be unable to keep his business afloat,’ he thought. ’He’s probably facing the constant risk of breaching his contracts. Not only would he have to pay penalties, but the shop owners might even come to campus and cause a scene. After all, in the teachers’ eyes, Xu Junjie is a model student. If the owners show up and make a fuss, his entire persona will collapse.’

But Jiang Sifan had no intention of saving him.

He replied calmly, "Minister Xu, let’s just stick to minding our own business. I’m content with my own little patch of land and have no desire to share the fruits of my labor."

"You! Jiang Sifan, don’t push it!" Xu Junjie fumed. "If I’m going down, don’t think you’ll get off easy either!"

But in the next second, Jiang Sifan hung up on him.

This left Xu Junjie stunned with rage.

He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "Jiang Sifan, you just wait! Even if I have to borrow money, I’ll see this through to the bitter end!"

...

「Three days until Jiang Silu’s Sun Yanzi concert.」

For the occasion, she was thinking of buying some more warm clothes.

Then, Lu Fan sent her a message: "You don’t need to buy clothes. I had a few down jackets and sets of thermal wear custom-made. I’ll have Jiali deliver them to you. Remember to pick them up this afternoon."

Jiang Silu: "Aren’t they very expensive?"

The last time Lu Fan had taken her clothes shopping was in the garment district of Suzhou.

The outfit he had bought cost over thirty thousand yuan, and even now, her heart raced whenever she thought about it.

Looking at the wardrobe in her dorm room, she even found herself thinking, ’What has this wardrobe ever done to deserve holding such an expensive dress?’

Lu Fan: "They’re not that expensive, really. I know the owner of the custom brand very well, so don’t worry. I know you’d be reluctant to wear them if they were too pricey."

Jiang Silu finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his message.

It wasn’t that she was unwilling to wear expensive clothes.

She just felt they were too valuable and couldn’t bring herself to wear them.

During her chat with Lu Fan, she also mentioned that after this concert, she wanted to take her mother to one as well when she got back to Yangcheng.

Lu Fan: "Don’t worry. There will be a Wang Leihong concert in Yangcheng after you get back for winter break."

Jiang Silu: "Really? That’s wonderful! Mom loves Wang Leihong’s songs. But I haven’t seen anything online about him holding a concert in Yangcheng."

Lu Fan: "It’ll be announced this afternoon."

Staring at Lu Fan’s exclusive news, Jiang Silu wondered, ’Don’t tell me Dad can actually contact a top-tier singer like Wang Leihong and get him to hold a concert in Yangcheng?’

’That’s just insane.’

’But then again, considering he wanted to have Sun Yanzi come to our house for a private concert just for me, it probably wouldn’t be hard for Dad to contact Wang Leihong either.’

At this thought, Jiang Silu’s heart began to beat a little faster.

She had no idea what her father actually did for a living.

From their interactions over the past several days, she had become certain of one thing: her father was incredibly wealthy, with a vast family enterprise.

’But to be able to deal with celebrities, and even get one to add a concert in a specific city on short notice... that’s a whole other level of influence.’

Jiang Silu grew more and more curious.

In fact, she had already secretly tried to look up information about Lu Fan online.

But there was next to nothing about him online.

It was as if his information was being protected.

It reminded her of how, during the college entrance exams, the personal information of the provincial top scorer and the other top-ranked students was always kept confidential.

’Could it be...?’

Jiang Silu didn’t dare to let her thoughts go any further.

She was afraid her own limited imagination would be unable to grasp the true extent of Lu Fan’s power.

As for Lu Fan, things were indeed just as Jiang Silu had guessed.

He had asked someone to contact Wang Leihong’s management agency.
