Chapter 1107 King’s Medal

“Entering the top 500 before the age of 50, what a grand goal…”

Wang Xuening could no longer hold back and giggled again.

Although a beautiful woman’s laughter was enchanting, Yuan Hang still felt the mockery in her laughter, and his Face immediately darkened.

“Ye Bufan, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me?”

“No, no, she must have thought of something funny.”

Ye Bufan was too lazy to bother with such a person, and after speaking, he prepared to leave with the girls.

But the more he acted this way, the more aggrieved Yuan Hang felt.

A million-dollar annual salary and ranking 999th in the Hall of Fame were already dazzling achievements; it was fine if the other party didn't praise him, but they even dared to mock him.

“Ye Bufan, stop right there! The matter hasn’t been clarified, you’re not allowed to leave.”

With that, he suddenly blocked their path.

This made Wang Xuening unhappy: “Why are you like this? You’re clearly a good-for-nothing, yet you still want people to praise you.”

“Good-for-nothing? You actually dare to call me a good-for-nothing?”

Yuan Hang’s Face immediately changed, “Ye Bufan, can you control your woman? Apologize to me immediately.”

Ye Bufan also lost his patience with this guy’s persistence; he clearly had no real ability, yet he insisted on showing off, and now he wouldn’t even let them leave. Was this still someone else’s fault?

“She was just speaking the truth, what’s there to apologize for?”

“You…”

Yuan Hang didn’t expect Ye Bufan to also dare to look down on him, and his old Face immediately turned a pig-liver color.

“You, surnamed Ye, since it’s like this, don’t blame me for not considering our old classmate’s Face.”

He raised his voice and shouted to the surrounding crowd, “Everyone, come over and judge! My annual salary exceeds one million, and I’m ranked 999th in the Hall of Fame at the professional appraisal center, yet they actually dare to call me a good-for-nothing.”

At his shout, the surrounding people immediately gathered around.

Yuan Hang pointed at Ye Bufan and shouted, “My annual salary is a million, and you say I’m a good-for-nothing. Then tell us, what’s your annual salary? Let everyone see what someone who isn’t a good-for-nothing looks like.”

This guy was full of confidence; in his opinion, the other party was just a small Chinese medicine doctor, and it was impossible for his income to surpass his own.

Ye Bufan sighed. No matter what, they were classmates, and he didn’t want the other party to lose Face in public.

“Alright, let’s go.”

He didn’t want Yuan Hang to lose too much Face, but in the other party’s eyes, this was him being scared and preparing to flee.

“You, surnamed Ye, don’t leave! Today, you must clarify your annual salary and let everyone see who the good-for-nothing truly is.”

“Excuse me, excuse me…”

At this moment, several people squeezed in from outside; it was Wang Haitao, the manager of the appraisal center, and Gui Shanhe.

Gui Shanhe was panting, clearly having walked very quickly.

“Senior Gui, why are you here?”

Upon seeing Gui Shanhe, Yuan Hang immediately greeted him politely.

He was very clear about the status of this old man in front of him: a Great Master of painting and calligraphy in Modu, and a Great Master of antique and jewelry appraisal. Even his teacher would respectfully call him Senior.

Gui Shanhe glanced at him, not paying him any attention. He had no impression of such a young junior.

He came before Ye Bufan and said with an apologetic expression, “Mr. Ye, I’m sorry, the traffic was really bad on the way, so I’m late.”

Wang Haitao also followed, saying, “Mr. Ye, we’ve made you wait.”

At this, everyone was dumbfounded. Wang Haitao and Gui Shanhe were well-known figures in high society, usually very arrogant. Why were they so polite to this Young man today?

Yuan Hang’s mouth hung open in even greater astonishment. He was very clear about Gui Shanhe’s character and status; he was usually incredibly arrogant.

It was understandable that he ignored him, as the other party was a big shot, but seeing Ye Bufan as if he were his father? What was going on?

Ye Bufan nodded to the two of them, acknowledging their greeting.

Wang Haitao took out an exquisite small box from his pocket, opened it, and took out a golden medal.

This medal was made entirely of pure gold, with small diamonds inlaid around it. Its intrinsic value alone should be worth hundreds of thousands.

“Mr. Ye, this is the King’s Medal that I had specially made. It just so happens to be delivered to you today.”

With that, he presented the King’s Medal with both hands.

Ye Bufan took it and glanced at it. The medal was indeed well-crafted, clearly the work of a Great Master.

“Manager Wang has a thoughtful heart.”

After speaking, he casually put the medal into his pocket.

Everyone around was curious, wondering what this item was.

Someone in the crowd who knew Wang Haitao asked, “Manager Wang, what is this?”

Wang Haitao looked at Ye Bufan, “Mr. Ye, may I introduce you to everyone?”

He now admired this Young man to the extreme, and without the other party’s permission, he dared not speak freely.

Ye Bufan glanced at Yuan Hang nearby, and finally nodded.

Seeing that Mr. Ye allowed him to make the introduction, Wang Haitao’s Face was filled with excitement.

“Has everyone heard that our appraisal center recently established a Hall of Fame?”

“I’ve heard that the top 1000 people in the appraisal center can enter the Hall of Fame…”

“I heard that anyone who can enter the Hall of Fame has an annual salary of over a million…”

“What’s a million-dollar annual salary? I heard that the top 10 in the Hall of Fame have annual salaries of over ten million…”

Those who came to participate in the treasure appraisal conference were all members of Modu’s high society, and most of them had heard about the Hall of Fame.

Yuan Hang eagerly stepped forward and said, “Manager Wang, yesterday I had the honor of taking a test at the appraisal center, and I am now ranked 999th in the Hall of Fame.”

He felt this was a rare good opportunity and should seize it to show off his achievements.

Just now, due to the chaos at the scene, he hadn’t clearly heard what Ye Bufan and the other person said, nor had he seen the King’s Medal. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have had this courage.

Wang Haitao didn’t even glance at him, and introduced to everyone present: “Now, I would like to solemnly introduce Mr. Ye Bufan, the King ranked first in the Hall of Fame. The King’s Medal I just presented to Mr. Ye is for him.”

“Oh my goodness, it’s actually the King ranked first! I didn’t expect him to be so Young…”

“Amazing, truly amazing! If I remember correctly, didn’t that guy just say he was ranked 999th?”

“Damn it, I’m going to laugh my teeth off! Someone ranked 999th actually dared to challenge the King. Where’s his Face? Where’s his Face?”

After a brief shock, the crowd immediately burst into laughter. Everyone looked at Yuan Hang, their eyes filled with mockery.

With such a huge difference in strength, he actually dared to provoke the King ranked first. He truly overestimated himself.

Yuan Hang and Zhu Ziyi were instantly dumbfounded, standing there as if petrified, their mouths wide open and unable to close for a long time.

They never dreamed that Ye Bufan was the King of the Hall of Fame.

One ranked first, and the other ranked 999th. There was simply no comparison between the two; his achievements were completely worthless in front of the other person, making him a good-for-nothing.

The surroundings quieted down slightly, and someone else asked, “Manager Wang, since Mr. Ye is the King of the Hall of Fame, what is his net worth? Can you tell us?”

“Yes, what’s his net worth? Let us envy him too.”

The people around responded one after another.

“Everyone, quiet down.” Wang Haitao said loudly, “According to our appraisal center’s assessment results, Mr. Ye’s estimated annual salary is 100 billion.”
