Facing such a client, the Crescent Hotel naturally treated her with courtesy.

Yang Lu revealed her identity, and the hotel didn't need to verify it at all; naturally, whatever she said it was, it was!

Zhang Lin slapped his forehead, also feeling that he had thought incorrectly.

Although Yang Lu was in scientific research, her ancestors were Li Weisi and the Mountain-Moving leader Partridge Whistle.

The wealth accumulated over these few generations alone was more than many of the wealthy people present combined!

Even if Zhang Lin didn't yield this Heaven Lamp to her, Yang Lu could still light several Heaven Lamps here!

But Zhang Lin had viewed the simple-living Yang Lu as a poor scientist!

This really was...

failing to recognize Mount Tai!

……

The venue was noisy, and although many big shots doubted Yang Lu's identity,

even Old Lady Huo looked at Yang Lu opposite her with suspicion.

However, Yang Lu sat steadily on the chair on the right, calm and composed!

Just this demeanor of remaining unchanged under the gaze of so many people was enough to make others look at her differently.

People like Old Lady Huo, no matter how arrogant they were outside, knew the rules well at the Crescent Hotel.

So although they questioned, they would not shout in public.

But others did not have this patience.

A man in his thirties in a second-floor box, with a broad build, grinned and said loudly: "Can you be more professional at the Crescent Hotel? This person is clearly Professor Yang Lu from Shanghai University!"

"How is she the Mountain-Moving leader? You aren't even serious about announcing the title; why don't you apologize to Professor Yang!"

This person spoke very rudely, and many people in the second and third-floor boxes frowned upon hearing it.

Old Lady Huo sneered and said: "What is this person? Teaching both sides a lesson with one sentence?"

"The Crescent Hotel is really going downhill, letting even someone who doesn't understand the rules in."

Yin Nanfeng also stared at the man with an unkind expression.

She asked Sheng Sheng Man behind her: "Who is this person? I remember the box he is sitting in belongs to the Chen family; he looks like a stranger."

The Beijing Chen family, which made its fortune in semiconductors, can now be said to be the industry leader.

Sheng Sheng Man immediately said: "Boss, this is the Chen family's live-in son-in-law..."

A live-in son-in-law?!

Zhang Lin became interested; a live-in son-in-law speaking so loudly!

Could it be the Wry-Mouthed Dragon King, the God of War returning?

Zhang Lin immediately said: "Don't stop him, let's see what he wants to do."

At this moment, the master of ceremonies looked up at Yin Nanfeng's office.

The side door of the office had not moved, so the master of ceremonies was certain that the boss did not want to intervene.

Therefore, she immediately put on a smile and said: "Mr. Ye, whether Professor Yang is the Mountain-Moving leader does not matter much."

"Since she has lit this Heaven Lamp, my Crescent Hotel must announce the title for her."

"If Mr. Ye is willing, you can also light one; when the time comes, if you want to say you are the Xieling leader, we will also announce it!"

It must be said that the master of ceremonies spoke beautifully.

She both cleared the relationship and did not offend Yang Lu!

After all, Yang Lu was the one who lit the Heaven Lamp.

This Chen family son-in-law was just playing with words and hadn't done anything; the Crescent Hotel might not necessarily make money from him.

Maintaining superficial courtesy was enough.

Who knew that this Chen family son-in-law would immediately slap the table and stand up.

"What the hell do you mean? Looking down on me? Think I can't afford to light a Heaven Lamp?"

"Then today, I'll let your dog eyes see whether I can afford it or not!"

After speaking, this person sat directly on the chair on the right.

At this moment, the whole venue went quiet!

Everyone felt a bit baffled.

How did the matter of the Mountain-Moving leader suddenly turn into a lamp-fighting contest?

Although lamp-fighting was even rarer than lighting a Heaven Lamp.

But both parties in this lamp-fighting contest made people feel a bit confused.

One was a self-proclaimed Mountain-Moving leader, and the other was a Chen family son-in-law.

These identities sounded like a joke!

Everyone in the venue felt the scene was ridiculous, only Zhang Lin felt a chill in his heart.

He didn't expect the Wang family's counterattack to be so fast.

They actually found a live-in son-in-law to light a Heaven Lamp!

Matching this identity against Yang Lu was truly insulting.

If Yang Lu's lamp was blown out, the Mountain-Moving Sect would lose face completely.

Yang Lu, sitting there at this moment, also understood the current situation.

What was supposed to be a shocking debut had now completely changed its flavor.

She had already lit this Heaven Lamp, and it could not be withdrawn no matter what.

But looking at the crowd, although they were shocked that the Chen family son-in-law lit a Heaven Lamp,

the disdain in their eyes toward that son-in-law had never stopped!

It was evident how poor the reputation of this son-in-law surnamed Ye was in the Beijing circle!

Although Yang Lu was a bit anxious, her expression did not show it, and she remained sitting there calmly.

Zhang Lin pondered for a moment and said to Sheng Sheng Man: "Go and pass a few words to Professor Yang..."

After Sheng Sheng Man left, Yin Nanfeng still looked at Zhang Lin with some confusion.

"Can these few words of yours preserve the reputation of the Mountain-Moving Sect?"

"It doesn't sound special at all; can it suppress that son-in-law?"

Zhang Lin said: "Whether it can suppress him or not, let's wait and see."

"In the eyes of some people, the Snake-Eyed Copper Fish may not be as precious as the thing in my hand."

……

At this moment, because the Chen family son-in-law Ye Fan lit a Heaven Lamp,

the scene was already lively to the extreme, and many people familiar with the Chen family were discussing it.

"What's going on with the Chen family, sending a son-in-law for such a big event?"

"Old Chen is also confused; today's occasion is more cautious than any other, all are people with substantial wealth, no one dares to light a lamp for fear of losing face, but their family is good, a son-in-law just lit the lamp."

"I heard before that the Chen family had a big change, I didn't believe it, but now it seems it's not groundless."

"Old Chen doesn't look like a confused person, why would he let a son-in-law take the lead?"

Ye Fan could hear some of the outside discussion, but he sneered in his heart and didn't care at all.

The Chen family had been completely controlled by him over the past two years!

Although he was a son-in-law, everything in the Chen family was decided by him.

In recent years, after seeing the abilities of those mysterious people, he had long since completely turned to them.

Now he was just following orders to light a Heaven Lamp and buy something.

For Ye Fan, it couldn't be simpler!

He also didn't care about the identity of the Mountain-Moving leader.

The Chen family previously wanted to squeeze into the tomb-raiding circle, but now that Ye Fan was in power, he felt that the Chen family's previous layout was all nonsense.

In Ye Fan's heart, tomb raiders were all a bunch of dirt-diggers and country bumpkins!

If they weren't starving, would they go tomb raiding?

Even the Laojiu Sect, which was spreading like wildfire on the internet, Ye Fan looked down upon.

He felt they were just a bunch of low-class people in the underworld!

Therefore, he lacked the most basic understanding and awe for Yang Lu, the Mountain-Moving leader.

Seeing that the other party was a woman, he would take her even less seriously. ===== CHAPTER 243 =====
