I must...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian suddenly stood up and slapped Zhao Longqi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Longqi was dazed: \"Why did you hit me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hit you? I even had thoughts of strangling you to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Wentian angrily slapped his son again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What sins did the Zhao family commit to have given birth to a thing like you? I should have strangled you to death back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the old man seemed truly angry, Zhao Longqi stood there, not daring to talk back, obediently enduring the scolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After loudly reprimanding him for a while, Zhao Wentian finally shouted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lock this bastard up. From today onwards, don't let him take a single step out of this house.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The official announcement regarding the online news incident had been released.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some bosses took the blame and gave the netizens an explanation, the higher-ups achieved results, and as for the Zhao family, they were never mentioned in the investigation team's announcement from start to finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This matter was considered resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when some worry, others rejoice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai never expected that by coincidentally being the first to capture Zhao Longqi, he would inadvertently gain a great merit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His daring act of defying the Zhao family caught the attention of a certain higher-up leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader felt that Pang Longhai was fearless of power and willing to fight against all unlawful forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With just one word from the leader, Pang Longhai was promoted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was directly transferred to become the deputy chief of the Liunan Branch in the Development Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai had been in a daze these past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hastily completing the formalities and handover procedures, he finally remembered to call Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others might not be clear, but Pang Longhai was well aware that his position as deputy chief was merely a stroke of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all of this was thanks to Chen Fan. If not for Chen Fan, how could he have possibly encountered such good fortune?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, when Chen Fan had wanted his help a few times before, he kept declining...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it now, Pang Longhai felt quite embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least towards Chen Fan, he felt somewhat apologetic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, during the phone call, Pang Longhai's tone and attitude changed significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He addressed Chen Fan as \"Brother\" right from the start, insisting that he must come over, as Pang Longhai wanted to treat him to a meal personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting the time and place, Chen Fan headed straight there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dining location was chosen by Pang Longhai, called Tingyu Pavilion. It sounded like the name of a bookstore, but was actually a private restaurant, usually difficult to book without connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the prices here were quite high, with a meal for two costing nearly 1,000 yuan, almost equivalent to Pang Longhai's monthly salary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showed that to mend their relationship and express gratitude to Chen Fan, Pang Longhai was truly sparing no expense this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was led by a server into the private room, where Pang Longhai immediately stood up and walked over from the opposite side of the dining table, grabbing Chen Fan's hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chen, you've finally arrived. Please, have a seat. I've been waiting a long time for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was startled by Pang Longhai's sudden warmth, not expecting such a reception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two took their seats, and as the dishes were served, Pang Longhai wasted no time in picking up a bottle of Wuliangye liquor in front of him. He filled a cup to the brim in front of Chen Fan and raised it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chen, there's no one else here, so I won't beat around the bush with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This promotion is all thanks to you, brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Previously, when you reminded me about this great merit being bestowed upon me, I was timid and hesitant. Looking back, I was simply not being manly enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't say anything else, I reflect on my actions and apologize to you through this drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He finished speaking and downed the cup in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was taken aback and quickly picked up his cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, don't drink it, let me speak first,\" Pang Longhai stopped Chen Fan. \"I already said this cup is my apology drink. If you drink it, how can I apologize properly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled while holding the cup. \"Officer Pang... no, I should call you deputy chief Pang now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai waved his hand dismissively. \"Ah, let's not stand on ceremony between us. Just call me Big Brother from now on. I'll treat you like a younger brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, I'll call you Big Brother Pang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Brother Pang, if you're apologizing, then I can't accept this meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just as you said, there's no need for such courtesy between us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about this, you've already drunk yours, so I'll accompany you with a cup to celebrate your promotion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan tilted his head back and downed his cup in one gulp as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai roared with laughter and reached out to tap Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, let's eat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai actively helped to serve some meat onto Chen Fan's plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taste it, the chef here is no ordinary one. It's said that their skills are passed down from ancestors. You need to make reservations in advance to dine here. I only managed to get this private room by borrowing some influence from my leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled, \"Then I'll bask in Big Brother Pang's connections too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up a piece of pork rib and tasted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm, it is delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, eat more if it's good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some small talk, Pang Longhai finally brought up the main topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chen, when I think about this incident, I feel guilty and embarrassed, utterly ashamed of myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here's the deal, just observe my performance from now on. If anyone dares to cause trouble at your place, just give me a call. See how I deal with them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled slightly and took the initiative to refill his companion's cup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai sighed with some regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alas, to be honest, I do feel quite apologetic towards you. With this promotion, I've been transferred to the Liunan Branch in the Development Zone, so the university district won't be under my jurisdiction anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But don't worry, I've already made arrangements. If anyone dares to make trouble, just call the police and mention my name...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and clinked cups with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big Brother Pang, what you said is wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps my future establishment might fall under your jurisdiction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai looked puzzled, and Chen Fan explained with a smile, \"I bought a plot of land in the Development Zone, planning to build an upscale club. I'll need to trouble Big Brother Pang for your attention then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai couldn't help but laugh. \"Look at this, how things have come full circle again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, this must be fate. Come, let's have another drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After downing a cup heartily, Pang Longhai stared at Chen Fan with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will this club of yours be similar to the previous Medal Club?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded and then shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not quite the same. This time, I plan to go upscale. Some of the ordinary features, I won't be including them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai smiled slyly. \"Will there be an archery range?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Pang doesn't have any other hobbies, just a passion for archery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I didn't plan for it before, with Big Brother Pang's request, this club of mine will definitely have to include an archery range.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1452,"2026-06-05T15:06:40.702Z",1,"novelbin.me","29a3ac22fda159baeaa7686aa574fba4bb06e0854fbab3bf3c4ef107a6718112","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-300","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-298",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
