Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Family Inspection_1 Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Family Inspection_1 Cui Fului looked at his son Cui Dong, who was excited like a child, and shook his head with a smile, but his heart was filled with immense joy.
He didn’t expect much else from life but hoped that his only son, Cui Dong, would live well.
When Cui Dong was happy, he was naturally happy.
Cui Fului stepped forward, his face filled with gratitude as he looked at Xu Fan.
He never imagined, given his son’s temperament, that Cui Dong could endure the hardships required to become an Ancient Martial Artist, so he had given up on training him to walk the path of ancient martial arts long ago.
Unexpectedly, Cui Dong had achieved Qi Drawing to the point of perfection, surpassing even him.
This stroke of luck made even Cui Fului envious.
But what filled him with even more pride…
“Mr.
Xu, your cultivation of Cui Dong is akin to rebirthing him, and it has given him a brand-new life.
As his father, I am truly grateful.”
Cui Fului, with a solemn look on his face, cupped his fists and bowed, expressing his thanks.
Xu Fan flicked his finger, and an invisible force arose, supporting Cui Fului’s bending body.
“Cui Dong is my disciple, and he has great potential; naturally, I guide him with all my heart.

Therefore, these grand gestures are unnecessary,” Xu Fan said lightly.

Xu Fan spoke with a casual tone, “However, the ancient saying goes, ‘The master leads the entrance, but the practice is up to the individual.’ His future achievements will still depend on his own efforts and opportunities.”
“Of course,” Cui Fului nodded in agreement repeatedly.
“Master, rest assured, I will definitely not disappoint your and my father’s expectations,” Cui Dong said, his expression turning serious.
Afterward, Xu Fan was led into the Cui family estate, and upon sitting down in the living room, he began to instruct Cui Dong.
He taught him how to control the emission and withdrawal of his breath, how to manage his strength, and imparted to him the Thunder Mastery Technique.
In Xu Fan’s view, Cui Dong had excellent potential, and he believed it wouldn’t be long before he would stand out and even enter the ranks of the distinguished elites.
At the same time,
A sudden visitor arrived at Yifan Beauty Company.
Xu Yixue now devoted more of her energy to the shooting of the micro-movie “Dragon Hidden in the City.”
The movie was being filmed by Yifan Media Company and was not outsourced to an external crew.
Since the team lacked experience, there would be a period of exploration and adaptation required for the shooting.
While Xu Yixue, the three ladies, and the related crew members were filming on set,
a young man stepped out of a taxi, looked up at the towering Yifan Beauty Building, and couldn’t help but reveal a faint smile on his face.
The young man, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, was neither tall nor short.
He wore a gray and white T-shirt, a pair of shiny leather shoes that made clacking sounds as he walked, and had a noticeable Swiss watch on his wrist.
His trendy hairstyle, shaved on the sides with a tuft of long hair left in the middle tied into a braid at the back of his head, exuded a subtly flamboyant charm that swayed continuously behind him.
“Dang dang dang!”
As he entered the building, the young man leaned his upper body on the front desk and rhythmically tapped it with his right middle finger, immediately catching the attention of the receptionist.
“Hello, who are you here to see?” the receptionist asked softly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The young man revealed a set of clean white teeth as he chewed on gum and casually breathed onto the receptionist’s face, smiling flirtatiously, “Hey, pretty, is Xu Yixue around?”
The receptionist gave the young man an annoyed look, feeling a bit irritated, but when she heard that he was looking for President Xu Yixue, she did not dare to neglect him and politely said, “If you’re here to see President Xu, you need to make an appointment in advance.”
“Damn, what an attitude.”
The young man immediately revealed his crude nature and barked, “I don’t need to make an appointment, she doesn’t have that qualification.
Forget it, just tell me where she is, I’ll go find her myself.”
“Sorry, President Xu isn’t in the company at the moment,” the receptionist replied, anger flashing in her eyes, but she still answered honestly.
“So, she’s avoiding me?
Hmph!”
The young man sneered disdainfully and said angrily, “Forget it, whether she’s here or not, what does it matter?
I am here on behalf of the family to inspect our family’s assets in Zhonghai.
Since she’s avoiding me, then I’ll just have a look around by myself.”
“You’re here on behalf of the family for inspection?” The receptionist’s heart tightened, and she asked earnestly, “May I know what your relation is to President Xu?”
“I’m her brother, not by blood, but she still has to call me brother.
You can contact her, just say Xu Jianglong is looking for her,” the young man replied with an arrogant tone.
Xu Jianglong, indeed Xu Yixue’s cousin, the son of her second uncle, Xu Xuanqiang, was specially sent by the Xu Family to inspect the Xu Family’s assets in Zhonghai.
He had arrived early, but happened to encounter the first batch of products from Yifan Beauty Company becoming a sensational hit.
Realizing the promising future of Yifan Beauty Company, Xu Jianglong took it seriously and contacted Xu Xuanqiang straight away.
Knowing the specifics, Xu Xuanqiang also felt the matter was of great significance and told him not to act rashly, to wait until he had rallied a group of family members before proceeding to the next step.
That wait lasted three days.
Xu Jianglong, following Xu Xuanqiang’s instructions, made some preparations before he went to meet Xu Yixue.
The receptionist obviously didn’t quite believe Xu Jianglong’s words and began to hesitate.
Growing impatient, Xu Jianglong could only say, “Check if there’s any management staff with the surname Xu in the company; if so, notify him to come down.
I believe he knows who I am.”
As instructed by the receptionist, a phone call was swiftly made, and after the call was connected, she said, “Director Xu, a gentleman claiming to be President Xu’s brother is here on behalf of the family for inspection.
Since President Xu is not in, he hopes that Director Xu could come down to meet him.”
The person on the other end of the phone, named Xu Zhao, was a branch member of the Xu Family, over thirty years old and currently serving as the company’s HR director.
In terms of seniority, he was Xu Yixue’s uncle.
However, in a large family like the Xu Family, the status of branch members was not high, and Xu Zhao was no exception.
He was seen as someone to be commanded, insignificant and hence not wooed by anyone.
Startled by the call, Xu Zhao only knew that Xu Yixue had a younger brother; as for an older brother, it must be a cousin.
After realizing this, he replied, “Xiao Mei, hold him there, I’m coming down right now.”
After hanging up, the receptionist, not daring to neglect, led Xu Jianglong to a nearby sofa to sit down and poured him a cup of warm water.
Xu Jianglong lounged leisurely, legs crossed, eyes roving around without restraint, full of aggressiveness.
After waiting for three minutes, Xu Zhao rushed out of the elevator, glanced around the lobby, and spotted a somewhat familiar figure.
His expression changed abruptly, and he hurried over, calling out respectfully, “Young Master Jianglong!”
Xu Zhao, such a branch member, wasn’t valued in the family, wasn’t wooed by others, and hence maintained a neutral stance inwardly.
But he knew the importance of keeping up appearances; he had to please everyone and dare not offend anyone, so his smile carried a trace of fawning as he said, “Young Master Jianglong, why didn’t you let us know in advance of your visit so we could prepare a proper welcome for you?”
Xu Jianglong slowly stood up, his tone lazy, “What, I have to inform you before I come to Zhonghai?
Then what’s the point of conducting an inspection?”
“Inspection?!”
Hearing Xu Jianglong personally utter these two words, Xu Zhao’s heart jumped, sensing trouble.
