Chapter 366: The Fake Prince

After getting out of the car, Shang Tiantian took out her phone and dialed the number of her sugar daddy.

When the call connected, a deep voice on the other end asked, "How did things go? Has your voice recovered?"

"My dear, you must help me. The company has frozen all my accounts…"

She sobbed as she briefly recounted what had happened, finally saying, "My dear, I can only rely on you now…"

Indeed, she was merely a money-making tool for the company; if she lost her usefulness, she would immediately be kicked out.

As things stood, she could only place all her hopes on the man in front of her.

"So useless." The sugar daddy's tone revealed a hint of disgust. "I have important matters to attend to here. Let's talk later."

With that, the other end hung up with a snap, and Shang Tiantian fell into despair.

At this moment, she regretted it immensely. Why did she have to act like a diva? Why did she have to play the 'seat hogging' game? Why did she have to provoke Ye Bufan?

If she hadn't provoked this man, she would still be the revered Queen of Pop, admired by thousands, and wouldn't have fallen to this state.

She knew her sugar daddy's temper very well and dared not call him back, only waiting for fate's judgment.

No sooner had Shang Tiantian left than Ye Bufan received a call from Gao Daqiang, "Xiao Fan, do you have time now? Can you come to my father's place?"

Ye Bufan said, "I'm at the medical clinic. Is something wrong?"

Gao Daqiang said, "It's like this: my father has a godson named Gao Xiaogong, who previously served as the Vice President of Kunpeng Group.

He heard that we set up a Brothers Investment Company here, so he rushed over to help us."

Ye Bufan asked, "Your father's godson? Why haven't I heard of him before?"

"It's like this; I looked into his detailed situation…"

Gao Daqiang began to explain. It turned out that Gao Xiaogong was previously just an ordinary employee of Kunpeng Group. His business capabilities were outstanding, and he was very smooth in dealing with people, which made Gao Jiajun particularly fond of him.

Because Gao Jiajun had no son of his own, he recognized Gao Xiaogong as his godson and entrusted him with important responsibilities, allowing him to rise step by step to the position of Group Vice President.

He didn't have this name before, nor did he even have the surname Gao. He only changed his surname to Gao after recognizing a godfather and set his given name as Xiaogong.

It can be said that in the Kunpeng Group in Hong Kong, besides Gao Jiajun, Gao Xiaogong was the highest-ranking person.

It was only later that Qiao Lina suddenly gave birth to Gao Xiaobao. From then on, he fell somewhat out of favor. Although he still served as the Group's Vice President, his standing in Gao Jiajun's heart plummeted.

This time, hearing that Gao Jiajun had found his biological son, he immediately rushed here from Hong Kong.

Gao Xiaogong had two reasons: on one hand, he said he wanted to recognize his kin, and on the other hand, he wanted to help Gao Daqiang quickly establish Brothers Investment Company.

After listening, Ye Bufan's lips curled into a cold smile. This was clearly a fake prince feeling threatened by the true prince, coming to contend for power.

Previously, Gao Xiaobao was still young, so Gao Xiaogong could completely disregard him and only needed to manage his own power base.

But Gao Daqiang was different. If he grew quickly, he could soon take over from Gao Jiajun, which made Gao Xiaogong feel a huge threat.

However, he was a bit confused. With Gao Jiajun's intelligence, he should have seen through the trick at a glance, so why did he still let Gao Xiaogong come to Jiangnan City?

Paradise Club has now been completely transformed, becoming the location of Brothers Investment Company and also the Jade Industry Base.

The casino building Ye Bufan had previously visited had now become the office building of Brothers Investment Company.

When Ye Bufan arrived at the reception room, Gao Jiajun and Gao Daqiang were already seated there, the father and son chatting intimately.

Compared to before, Gao Jiajun was radiant with happiness due to the joyful event. His mental state was completely refreshed, as if he had instantly become more than ten years younger, and it seemed his life with Xia Zihan was going very well.

"Xiao Fan, you're here. Hurry and sit down."

Seeing Ye Bufan enter, the father and son both stood up to greet him.

After he sat down, Gao Jiajun said, "It's like this: Xiaogong has rushed from Hong Kong to Jiangnan City.

Firstly, he wants to meet Da Qiang so the two brothers can get to know each other, and secondly, he wants to help you."

Ye Bufan said, "Uncle Gao, Brothers Investment Company is progressing very quickly and smoothly right now, and doesn't need anyone else's help."

Gao Jiajun laughed heartily, "On the day the company was established, I said that I would not participate in any matters of the Brothers Investment Company, so whether you need Gao Xiaogong's help is up to the two of you to decide."

With that, Ye Bufan somewhat understood his intentions.

Gao Jiajun, who could start from scratch and build such a large family business in Hong Kong, was undoubtedly intelligent, and it was impossible for him not to see Gao Xiaogong's intentions.

Since he understood, there was only one purpose for such an arrangement: he wanted Gao Xiaogong to be (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) a whetstone for Gao Daqiang, to test Gao Daqiang's abilities.

Kunpeng Group has assets of hundreds of billions. Although Gao Daqiang is his biological son, he must have a certain level of ability to fully take over, and Gao Xiaogong is the first test.

It's not that Gao Jiajun would abandon Gao Daqiang if he failed the test, as he only had this one son after all.

However, generally speaking, wealthy individuals have two ways of handling their assets: the first is to personally hand them over to their successor, a full transfer.

The other way is to entrust all their assets, and the successor only needs to wait to receive money.

This choice is rarely used by the wealthy, only when their children are truly incapable of taking charge.

Gao Daqiang came from a poor background and had never participated in high-level business operations, so it was normal for Gao Jiajun to have such concerns.

He even considered more for his son. When he gave 51% of the shares to Ye Bufan before, he was already planning, hoping to help Gao Daqiang grow quickly through Ye Bufan's assistance.

Just as the few of them were chatting, the door opened, and a Young man of about 30 years old walked in from outside.

This person was of medium build, much less imposing than Gao Daqiang and Gao Jiajun. He had a gentle smile on his face and did not display the arrogance of other rich second-generation heirs, at least not on the surface.

He was Gao Jiajun's godson, Gao Xiaogong, the Vice President of Kunpeng Group.

"Godfather, I've missed you so much."

After entering, Gao Xiaogong first gave Gao Jiajun a big hug, then turned to Gao Daqiang and said, "Godfather, is this my younger brother? He really looks like you."

Gao Jiajun said, "That's right, this is your younger brother, Da Qiang. Da Qiang, this is your elder brother, Gao Xiaogong. You two brothers should be closer in the future."

"Hello, Brother."

Gao Daqiang, out of politeness, extended his hand, intending to shake hands and greet him.

But Gao Xiaogong acted much more enthusiastically than him, stepping forward for another big bear hug.

"Brother, I'm alone in this life, and it's so lonely at home with only one person. Now I finally have my own younger brother."

Ye Bufan's expression shifted. This guy wasn't old, but his cunning was truly terrifying. With a simple sentence, he immediately pulled himself into the Gao Family's camp, placing himself on equal footing with Gao Da Qiang.

At the same time, he automatically ignored the previous Gao Xiaobao, as if those things had never happened.

What a masterful tactic!
