Lin Fan proves his immense wealth, stunning everyone and causing the company president Zhang Dafu to eagerly sell his company to him. Zhao Gang, who previously framed Lin Fan and mocked him, is fired after Lin Fan tricks him into confessing. The receptionist Little Zhang is also dismissed for her past disrespect. Lin Fan then offers everyone a chance to resign or stay and work for him, with all employees choosing to stay.

Lin Fan mused that no one understood Blue Moon better than Zhang Dafu, thus entrusting its management to him seemed like a sound decision.

"Since you're keen on staying, then stay. I'll appoint you as the general manager to assist me in running the company," Lin Fan declared.

Zhang Dafu was profoundly thankful, exclaiming, "Thank you, Brother Fan, no, thank you, Boss!"

Following this, Lin Fan executed the transfer contract with Zhang Dafu, settling the remaining 70 million. He had now officially become the proprietor of Blue Moon, marking his acquisition of his very first company.

And this was merely the prelude!

With all matters concluded, Lin Fan announced, "That's all for now. I need to head out and deliver some takeout. I'm leaving."

Zhang Dafu broke into a cold sweat. The world of the affluent was truly unfathomable. To think that the boss, a genuine scion of wealth, would still engage in delivering takeout – a most peculiar hobby.

Could it truly be an attempt to experience life?

Departing from Blue Moon, Lin Fan resumed his takeout delivery duties.

Beep!

A notification from the platform indicated a new order had arrived.

Someone had ordered ten takeout meals to be delivered to Yunding Manor.

Lin Fan was momentarily taken aback. Yunding Manor – wasn't that the most exclusive and luxurious villa in Yun City, rumored to be valued at over a billion?

The orders Lin Fan typically handled were usually destined for businesses or ordinary residential areas. This was his first encounter with an order originating from a hyper-exclusive locale, the most opulent one at that: Yunding Manor.

Motivated by a desire to glimpse a high-end luxury residence, Lin Fan accepted this particular order.

Situated in the eastern part of Yun City, Cloud Mountain encompassed an entire half-mountain region designated as a wealthy district, replete with opulent homes. Perched at the highest elevation, offering a commanding view of the entire city, stood Yunding Manor.

This sprawling estate boasted a vast building area, resembling a royal garden in its extreme luxury.

Upon arriving outside Yunding Manor, Lin Fan observed numerous vehicles parked nearby, with people steadily entering, and security guards stationed at the entrance.

As Lin Fan approached, a security guard promptly intercepted him. "Hold on there, buddy. This isn't a place you can just waltz into. Everyone else can get in, but not you!"

Denied entry!

Lin Fan inquired, "And why precisely can't I enter?"

The security guard cast a dismissive glance at Lin Fan. "Aren't you embarrassed? Let me be blunt: you're a takeout delivery person and lack the qualifications to enter. Not unless you have the means to purchase this place. There's an auction happening today. The question is, do you have the money?"

An auction!

Lin Fan felt a stirring within him. "What if I were to say I intend to participate in the auction? Would I then be permitted entry?"

The security guard let out a derisive laugh. "No, you need to be at least a general manager of a company to qualify for entry! Friend, it's not that I'm looking down on you, but take a look in a mirror. You're a delivery guy. What are you going to use to bid?"

An air of superiority!

Even though he himself couldn't afford it, the security guard of Yunding Manor seemed to have elevated himself, feeling entitled to look down upon a mere deliveryman.

The exchange between the two individuals was overheard by those nearby, who turned their gazes toward Lin Fan and erupted into laughter.

"This delivery guy seriously thinks he's going to buy the place!"

"Good grief, where did this fool crawl out from?"

"What do you call this? A toad lusting after a swan's flesh, dreaming of living in a mansion but destined for a life of delivering takeout!"

"Do you even know the starting bid for this auction? One billion. How many lifetimes of delivering takeout would it take to barely earn that sum?"

As he listened to the jeers, Lin Fan maintained his composure.

These ignorant mortals, truly!

A mere billion, causing such a commotion.

It just so happened that his funds were so abundant now, he was unsure how to spend them. So, he'd buy a luxury home on a whim.

At the very least, a general manager was required for entry, correct? And he happened to have one.

Lin Fan stepped aside and retrieved his phone. "Da Fu, it's me. I need you to do something for me. Head to Yunding Manor immediately and assist me in acquiring Yunding Manor!"

...

News of the Yunding Manor auction spread like wildfire, quickly becoming the city's most talked-about event. Everyone was speculating about who would ultimately claim ownership of the city's most expensive luxury residence.

The local television station even dedicated a special report to the affair.

Zhang Dafu, seated in his office, watched the report with a face full of longing. "If I could even spend a single night in that house, I'd be laughing in my sleep. But that's impossible. It's far too expensive; I don't even qualify to compete in the auction. Only the ultra-wealthy have the standing to participate!"

Ultimately, Zhang Dafu let out a sigh, lamenting his own financial limitations.

At that precise moment, Lin Fan's call came through.

Zhang Dafu leaped up with excitement. "Boss, what did you say? You want to buy Yunding Manor?"

Lin Fan responded, "That's correct. It's inconvenient for me to show up, so you will represent me in the auction. Just ensure my identity remains hidden, and let's keep things low-key."

While others doubted his ability to purchase Yunding Manor, he possessed a far more potent method than a public humiliation; an approach ten times more severe than simply slapping their faces!

Zhang Dafu considered this for a moment before cautiously inquiring, "Boss, what is your budget? I will make decisions accordingly."

Lin Fan declared with immense generosity, "Forget deciding accordingly. Money is no object; we must succeed, failure is not an option!"

Such extravagance!

Truly, unbelievably lavish!

Trembling with excitement, Zhang Dafu exclaimed, "Understood, Boss! I'll head there immediately! Secretary, prepare a car for me; I'm going to Yunding Manor!"

Lin Fan added, "Right, the first order of business after the purchase is to have the security guards at the entrance dismissed."

Although Zhang Dafu did not grasp the reason for firing the guards, he simply obeyed Lin Fan's command: "Got it, Boss!"

Lin Fan stated, "I still have some deliveries to make, so I'll hang up now."

After ending the call, Lin Fan returned to the gate and contacted the customer, asking them to come out to collect their order.

Upon seeing Lin Fan's return, the security guard maintained his disdainful demeanor, completely oblivious that his fate had already been sealed by Lin Fan.

At three in the afternoon, the highly anticipated auction ceremony for Yunding Manor officially commenced.

The live broadcast by the television station captivated countless viewers. In every street and alley of Yun City, crowds gathered around television sets, engaged in lively discussions.

"I wonder who will ultimately acquire this magnificent estate?"

"Yun City doesn't have that many ultra-wealthy individuals; they can likely be counted on one hand. It has to be one of them."

"Don't be too certain. Isn't it possible for an unexpected contender to emerge?"

The auction host announced, "The bidding for Yunding Manor officially begins! The starting price is 1 billion, with each subsequent bid no less than 50 million!"

"1 billion 50 million!"

"1 billion 100 million!"

"1 billion 200 million!"

"..."

"1 billion 500 million!"

A fierce bidding war ensued, rapidly escalating the price to 1.5 billion!

The individual who placed the staggering bid of 1.5 billion was a portly, bald middle-aged man. Many in Yun City recognized him as Feng Wanshan, the CEO of Shengshi Group and a renowned billionaire!

Driven by his strong desire for Yunding Manor, Feng Wanshan personally attended the auction.

A hush fell over the venue.

It seemed Yunding Manor was destined to be Feng Wanshan's.

The host inquired, "We have a bid of 1.5 billion. Does anyone else wish to make an offer?"

"I doubt anyone will. Who in Yun City could possibly possess greater wealth than Feng Wanshan?"

"As expected, it's indeed one of the established billionaires."

"I heard Feng Wanshan was determined to secure this property. Even if someone else intended to bid, they likely wouldn't dare to cross him!"

Feng Wanshan displayed a hint of smugness, exuding an air of confidence and composure.

Just as everyone concluded that Feng Wanshan had secured Yunding Manor,

A hand slowly rose.

"1 billion 600 million!"

The entire city was stunned!

Someone was still actively bidding!

All gazes, without exception, shifted towards the source of the new offer.

It was Zhang Dafu!
