Chapter 313
Fade Chen''s sudden words interrupted the tense situation in the room. Everyone turned their focus
to him.
Gaffar Dai fixed his gaze on him and said coldly, "Who are you? Do you think that you have the right
to speak here?"
Fade grabbed Quin Lin''s hand and said, "I''m Quin''s husband. Why would I not have the right to
speak?"
Gaffar snorted and he did not take Fade seriously at all. He spoke to Quin directly, "President Lin,
you have to think about this matter carefully. The consequences of your choice will be affecting the
future of Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc."
Quin gazed at Gaffar and hispanions. Then, she checked on her husband again, who seemed
rather confident. An idea surfaced in her mind and she said in a clear voice, "I''ll leave the choice to
my husband, Fade."

Her words caused an uproar.
This choice was of great importance, and Quin had unexpectedly handed it over to a guy who was
completely ignorant and
oblivious in business matters.
Immediately, many merchants shook their heads and began to discuss amongst themselves.
" President Lin has made a really bad move!"
"Even if he is President Lin''s husband, this is not a trivial matter! President Lin has acted too
recklessly."
"It''s over. Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc is doomed this time. Whether they choose to join the
chamber or not, there won''t be any good oues for them."
"Yes, if they don''t join the chamber, they will be blocked in all aspects and be utterly destroyed. If
they join the chamber now, they have already offended President Dai, so their importance within the
Chamber of Commerce will be lowered!"
In the midst of the discussion, everyone focused on Fade, waiting for him to make the final decision.
Gaffar snorted and said, "There is still one minute remaining. This is the veryst moment. Once the
time is out, there will be no chance for you to make a choice. You..."
Fade gestured his hand, interrupted Gaffar''s words, and spoke directly, "There''s no need to
continue to speak on this matter. I have made my choice."
"It''s settled!"
Everyone''s expression turned tense, and they all stared at Fade.
Fade said casually, "My choice is...not to join the chamber ofmerce!"
All of a sudden, there was a dead silence, followed by a buzz of excitement, and then the voices of
discussion could be heard in the entire ce once again.
"Even though it''s not a surprising choice, it''s still a pity that he didn''t choose to join us!"
"It seems that this is the end for Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc''s development in Long City."
"That''s not all! I''m afraid that all their projects and businesses in Bay City will be suppressed by
President Dai''s coalition as well!"
"President Lin has been such a wise person that everyone looked up to, but now her reputation has
beenpletely destroyed by her unreliable husband!"
In the midst of the discussion, many people were gloating over Fade and Quin''s misfortunes.
Amongst them, a young woman finally stood up excitedly after resisting the temptation to do so
previously. She said to Fade, "Fade, you didn''t expect that you would end up in this situation, did
you?"
Fade''s eyes followed the sound of the voice and discovered that it was Lara Yin who was speaking.
The Yin family was also one of the attendees of this banquet. Before this, Lara would have been
afraid of Fade''s power, and the Sun family which she thought was backing him. But since she
learned that Fade was not invited by the Sun family, but was actually chased away by them, her fear
of Fade immediately disappeared.
Therefore, as soon as Gaffar announced the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, they
chose to join as a member right away. It was an opportunity that could not be missed. Firstly, they
intended to ridicule Fade, and secondly, they wanted revenge for what Fade had done to them
before this.
"It''s you!" Fade said. He nced at Lara, with an indifferent tone and expression.
Lara, on the other hand, seemed a little more emotional.She almost gnashed her teeth as she
spoke to Fade, "Fade, when you were telling me offst time, you would never have expected to be
defeated by our Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"Now, Imand you to kneel down and apologize for what you have done before this," Lara said.
She had a rather insane expression, and she was hungry for revenge.
"Command me to kneel down?" Fade said. He had a serious expression, and his voice was a little
cold. He took a step forward.
Lara was shocked and she took a few steps back out of regret. She said with a lingering sense of
apprehension, "Don''t, don''t think about starting a fight here. This is a banquet held by the Long City
businessmunity. If you dare to fight, I promise you no one will let you off the hook so easily."
Gaffar also shouted in the meantime, "There are rules in the business world. If someone acts
against these rules, then don''t me us for being rude."
Hearing this, Lara looked even more arrogant. She smiled at Fade and said, "Come and kneel down
and apologize to me at once."
Fade looked at Lara with an amused expression. He shook his head and said, "Lara, it seems that
you haven''t contacted Kristoff Xie these past few days, have you?"
Lara was stunned and she replied, "What''s wrong with not contacting him? Kristoff has already
found out that your backer is not the Sun Family. So don''t expect Kristoff to still be afraid of you. You
should get ready to receive a more tragic punishment when President Xie arrives!"
"Really?" Fade said and he smiled faintly. He gestured his hand, and said, "Come out now!"
As a result, Lara was utterly shocked when Kristoff and Joel Xie walked out, bowed respectfully to
Fade and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Lara was dumbfounded by what she just saw.
"President Xie, President Xie, you, you guys are..."
Not only Lara, but many other merchants around looked at Joel and Kristoff in surprise. They didn''t
understand what was happening.
After all, the Xie family was one of the major business giants in Long City. They didn''te to the
banquet when it started. Everyone thought that they didn''t want to attend the banquet because the
Xie family had been affected by the transfer of the wine factory and the cosmeticspany.
But no one expected the Xie family to show up, and act so respectfully toward Fade.
When the crowd was stillpletely stunned, Fade nced at his wife and said, "We, the Fei
Enterprises Holdings Inc, will not join this Chamber of Commerce, but we have made
our choice. We, the Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc, together with the Wu family and the Xie family, will
form a new Long City Enterprise Council. Those who want to join our council can choose to sign up.
Of course, we don''t have any time limit, so you can join us at any time."
As soon as the news was announced, the room suddenly became lively again, and some
businessmen began another round of discussion.
On one side, the three giants consisting of the Dai family, the An family and the Qian family had
formed a Chamber of Commerce, in order to suppress the union of the Wu family and Fei
Enterprises Holdings Inc. But the Xie family had suddenly paired up with Quin, Fade and Mr.Wu.
The power and influence of the two sides seemed more bnce now. And because of the Xie
family, Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc actually had the upper hand, even if the advantage was slight.
For a moment, all these small businessmen and merchants were thinking about which association
they should really join.
These merchants and businessmen had their ways of considering the pros and cons. The Dai
family, the An Family, and the Qian Family, on the other hand, started to look anxious. Their
expressions became cooler than before.
Lara waspletely confused by what was happening. She did not understand why the Xie family
suddenly had such a good rtionship with Fade. They had specifically showed up to help him out.
