Let alone the Jiang and Shen families, or Elder Lei, the two from Hai City would be enough trouble for me.
"President Zheng, you're too kind. Please get up."
Ye Fan smiled and helped him up.
At this moment, Chen Qiang was beaten beyond recognition, his face covered in blood, not a trace of the proud young master of the Chen family remaining.
"I don't want to see this person again. And the Chen family, I've heard they've done many dirty deeds. Such a family doesn't deserve to remain in Hai City."
Ye Fan said indifferently.
Jiang Zhitao and Zhou Youde immediately nodded, "Rest assured, we know what to do."
With the capabilities of the Jiang and Zhou families, destroying a Chen family was as simple as flipping their palms.
...
"I beg you, please overlook my mistakes. I'm not human, I shouldn't have insulted you and Miss Ye. I'm worse than an animal. Mr. Ye, please spare me and my family."
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Chen Qiang struggled to get up from the ground, crawled to Ye Fan's feet, grabbed his trousers, and pleaded desperately.
At this moment, his spirit had completely collapsed.
He never dreamed that he, who intended to humiliate Ye Xuanxuan and make himself seem superior, had instead run into a wall of steel.
Ye Fan's expression was cold, his eyes devoid of any pity.
To be so humble now after being so arrogant, it was almost laughable.
"Do you and your family deserve to exist in this world?"
Ye Fan spoke coldly, then kicked Chen Qiang away.
Since the Thousand Buddha Mountain incident, Ye Fan's killing intent had been growing stronger, and his personality had become increasingly cold.
If it were in the past, he might have given Chen Qiang and the Chen family a chance, but now, he could not.
Especially Chen Qiang's blatant insult to Ye Xuanxuan, which intensified his killing intent towards Chen Qiang.
"Chen Qiang, a clown like you dares to bully Mr. Ye, you deserve to die."
Zhou Youde snorted coldly, waving his hand for someone to drag Chen Qiang away.
Watching the once incomparably proud and unruly young master of the Chen family being dragged away like a dead dog, the onlookers couldn't help but sigh.
At the same time, their fear of Ye Fan grew.
This young man was not to be offended; offending him was akin to digging one's own grave.
And by extension, his family and friends were also not to be offended.
These people of Hai City etched Ye Fan's appearance into their hearts, fearing any future offense.
Ye Fan helplessly shook his head at this. His nature was not one that sought the spotlight. If not for Chen Qiang's relentless pursuit, he would never have stepped forward.
Now, it had caused a stir throughout the city, becoming known to all.
He gave Sun Yilang a look, then pulled Ye Xuanxuan and Shen Tianyin and quickly left the scene.
Sun Yilang immediately understood, his stern expression vanishing, replaced by a faint smile.
"Everyone, today is the grand opening of Bo Gu Zhai. For this occasion, I, Sun, have specially prepared some treasures for everyone to admire and purchase. Please come inside."
After the farce caused by Chen Qiang, everyone was now eagerly anticipating what treasures Bo Gu Zhai had prepared.
After all, Bo Gu Zhai's reputation had plummeted previously. If they couldn't present anything substantial for their reopening, they would likely become a laughingstock.
At this moment, hearing Sun Yilang's words, everyone, filled with curiosity, followed him towards the exhibition hall.
This place was designed entirely by Ye Fan, and the exhibition hall was astonishingly large, occupying two-thirds of the entire Bo Gu Zhai.
Transparent sealed glass covers, bright lighting, and detailed introductions for each item, even clearly stating any damage.
This transparency greatly pleased the antique connoisseurs, who eagerly scanned for items they liked.
"It seems this time, it will be difficult for Bo Gu Zhai not to become famous."
Watching the bustling crowd below, people excitedly discussing the items, Shen Tianyin's exquisite face bore a faint smile.
Ye Fan sipped his tea leisurely, his expression relaxed.
"Bo Gu Zhai's reopening naturally requires items that can satisfy the curiosity of antique enthusiasts. The previous sales methods were monotonous and boring, relying entirely on the buyer's discernment, with a very high chance of making mistakes. But with such reforms, even those who love antiques but suffer from poor eyesight have a chance to participate. Who wouldn't want to spend money to buy a genuine piece? Especially those old collectors are incredibly shrewd; they will never open their wallets without certainty of an item's authenticity."
This time, Ye Fan had written double appraisal certificates for every item under the names of Tian Yin Ge and Bo Gu Zhai.
While Bo Gu Zhai's reputation might be somewhat lacking, Tian Yin Ge was undeniably the foremost antique shop in Hai City today.
Their appraisal certificates naturally commanded the trust of many.
As more and more experts affirmed the authenticity of the items, the great collectors finally made their move.
On this day alone, Bo Gu Zhai's transactions reached triple digits.
Naturally, Bo Gu Zhai reaped immense profits, but ultimately, it was due to the high quality of the items.
However, no matter how large an antique shop, it cannot produce dozens or hundreds of genuine items for sale every day.
With the unprecedented success of Bo Gu Zhai's reopening, the very next morning, the name Bo Gu Zhai reappeared in public view.
"Did you hear? Bo Gu Zhai reopened, and on the first day, they had a massive sale, selling out over a hundred genuine items. The scene was astounding."
"Elder Sun's comeback this time was certainly meant to wash away the gloom and restore Bo Gu Zhai's prestige."
"As expected of Elder Sun, he's generous with his actions."
...
For a time, discussions about Sun Yilang were endless.
Of course, with the opening of Bo Gu Zhai, Sun Yilang once again became the number one figure in Hai City for antique appraisal.
"Mr. Ye, Bo Gu Zhai's turnover yesterday reached one billion. After deducting costs, the profit alone was over one hundred million. This is even because our prices were not set too high; otherwise, we would have earned even more."
Sun Yilang was exhilarated. Since he founded Bo Gu Zhai, he had never experienced such a terrifying turnover.
When he saw the string of numbers, even Sun Yilang was stunned for a moment.
Ye Fan, however, remained nonchalant, replying faintly, "Oh."
All of this was within his expectations, so there was nothing worth making a fuss about.
"Deposit forty percent into my account, forty percent is yours, and the remaining twenty percent will be used for Bo Gu Zhai's daily expenses. You arrange it yourself. We will have many more opportunities to make big money in the future, so don't be too focused on petty profits."
Ye Fan didn't look up, gazing at the Nine Dragon Vase in his hand. For some reason, the color of the Nine Dragon Vase seemed to have changed.
This was the item taken from the ancient tomb. Ye Fan clearly remembered that the Nine Dragon Vase was cyan at the time, but now, it had turned purplish-cyan, which truly puzzled him.
