He's not going to stand us up, is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai frowned: \"What do you know, woman? A big boss like Chen Fan always keeps his word. If he says he'll come, he'll definitely come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But it's already past 7...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai muttered: \"He's probably just held up by too many things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife couldn't help but suggest: \"Why don't you give him a call and ask? We can't just keep waiting indefinitely, can we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai frowned and was about to lose his temper, but then he stopped himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not appropriate to call him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know Chen Fan, if he really can't make it due to something urgent, he'd definitely call me to let me know...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife couldn't help but remind him: \"Tonight's opportunity is once in a lifetime, you better think it through and find a suitable chance to tell him about your troubles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't understand, so don't talk nonsense. These are all matters of officialdom. Chen Fan is a businessman, even if he's very capable, what can he do to help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife glared at him: \"Didn't you say Chen Fan has connections that reach the heavens...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The phone suddenly rang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple froze and quickly shut up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai swiftly took out his phone, looked at the caller ID, and his expression immediately lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife knew it was Chen Fan calling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Brother Chen, have you arrived?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, no need, wait a moment, I'll come down to get you right away. The building I live in is not easy to find.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Pang Longhai immediately grabbed his jacket and walked towards the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, his wife quickly tidied up her appearance and ran to the balcony to look down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai went downstairs and saw Chen Fan's Range Rover from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly waved with a smile: \"Brother Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car drove over, Chen Fan got out and smiled, cupping his hands in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Pang, I'm sorry, I was held up by something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no. My wife and I eat late too. We've just finished cooking, you're here right on time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Shun got out of the car and took a gift box from the back seat. Chen Fan reached out to take it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai saw this and quickly waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why bring a gift when you're visiting? This makes me feel like you're treating me as an outsider.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled: \"It's not a gift, just 2 bottles of wine that I plan to drink with you tonight, Brother Pang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Pang Longhai smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's more like it. It's still you who knows me, Brother Chen, remembering that this is my only hobby.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two chatted and laughed as they went upstairs, while Zhang Shun slowly drove away from the community to find a place to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they entered the house, Pang Longhai's wife came to greet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me introduce you. This is your sister-in-law. She was just telling me to call and hurry you up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and greeted her: \"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry I'm late.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wife glared at Pang Longhai, a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister-in-law, just call me Xiao Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can I do that? You're a big boss now. I'll just call you... Chen Fan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, that works.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please sit down, the food is ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan changed into slippers, went to the bathroom to wash his hands, and came out to sit casually next to Pang Longhai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai opened the two bottles of wine Chen Fan brought and exclaimed in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is good wine indeed. Not cheap at all. If it were from anyone else, I wouldn't dare accept it. It would be enough to qualify as a bribe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, his wife quickly said: \"What nonsense are you talking about? How can Chen Fan be just anyone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai laughed: \"It's fine since Chen Fan is here, we're just joking around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan also explained with a smile: \"Sister-in-law, it's alright, Brother Pang and I are as close as real brothers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai clicked his tongue: \"Such good wine, I really feel reluctant to drink it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chen Fan smiled, \"Then let's drink one bottle tonight, and you can keep the other one for yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe. I like the sound of that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai said, \"Let's drink one bottle first to satisfy our craving, then we'll drink the Wuliangye from home later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan waved his hand: \"Sister-in-law, please get me a bowl of chicken soup first. I didn't eat much at lunch, so I need some soup to line my stomach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I could smell the fragrance of the soup as soon as I entered. I can tell sister-in-law's cooking skills are excellent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Pang Longhai's wife immediately beamed with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a moment, I'll get you a bowl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After serving Chen Fan a bowl of soup, Chen Fan didn't stand on ceremony and slurped it down clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai's wife watched this scene from the side, feeling very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan's behavior showed that he didn't treat the couple as outsiders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made her very happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the soup, Chen Fan wiped his mouth without any pretense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's really delicious. Looks like I'll have to come over to freeload meals more often in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words made the couple even more excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, that's no problem at all. In the future, whenever you have time, just come over and let your sister-in-law cook for you. She's alone at home anyway and likes to research culinary skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Chen Fan's actions, the previously distant atmosphere instantly became much more harmonious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the two men drinking and chatting, Pang Longhai's wife felt somewhat emotional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chen Fan was young, his emotional intelligence was incredibly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment he entered the door, every move and every word he said was pleasant to hear, and he quickly closed the distance between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were anyone else who came to visit and dared to be so casual and lacking in manners with them, she would have lost her temper long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Chen Fan doing it this way, not only was she not angry, but she was very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After several rounds of drinks, the bottle Chen Fan brought was finished, and Pang Longhai took out a bottle of Wuliangye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan drank another glass, then waved his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still have something to do tonight, so I won't drink anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Pang Longhai stopped urging him and instead poured all the remaining wine into his own glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make yourself at home here, there's no need to be so polite between us. If you can't drink anymore, just eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife secretly gave Pang Longhai meaningful looks from the side, hoping he would take the opportunity to mention that matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Pang Longhai seemed not to have noticed and still refused to speak up, continuing to chat idly with Chen Fan, which made his wife very frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, I interrogated that group of guys when I went back today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai brought up a matter on his own, \"They're just a group of professional scammers, they didn't know your identity, probably just saw you driving a luxury car and wanted to extort some money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded, but Pang Longhai continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I did find out some other information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Chen Fan with a slight smile: \"Do you know who the leader of this group is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan looked at Pang Longhai, thinking to himself, could it be related to me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's Zhao Dahai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai explained with a smile: \"You might not know this name, but if I tell you about his family background, you'll probably understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan: \"The Zhao family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai took a sip of wine and said with a smile: \"Zhao Dahai is considered part of the Zhao family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's a distant relative of Zhao Wentian's family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In fact, there's a Zhao family village in the shantytown area, where many people surnamed Zhao have intricate connections with the Zhao family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The great-uncles and grand-uncles of that Zhao Longqi, all their relatives are in this village.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded, he had heard about this information before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just didn't expect to have an encounter with these people on his first visit to the shantytown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry. I'll help you deal with them properly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled and raised his teacup in a gesture, then suddenly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Pang, has work been going smoothly since your recent promotion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question caught Pang Longhai off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife on the side was even more excited, slightly clenching her fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a great opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never imagined Chen Fan would bring this up on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>",1524,"2026-06-05T15:07:00.965Z",1,"novelbin.me","4046c6a423baabbdcd8739a5b1673b9af35c58295d9585e804f842bd67b3ba1d","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-735","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-733",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
