Chapter 286: Where did all these things come from?
Listening to Chen Fan's words, Pang Longhai felt amused in his heart.
The young brother was not old, but the words he spoke were well-articulated and his ability to flatter was no less than that of a seasoned veteran in the workplace.
However, he did not intend to accept the gift.
Because Pang Longhai was different from others. Firstly, he still had aspirations for his profession.
Secondly, he was not very familiar with Chen Fan, and he did not want to leave any leverage by accepting gifts, in case it harmed him later.
So Pang Longhai instinctively wanted to refuse.
But when he saw the car by the roadside, Pang Longhai suddenly froze.
It was actually a Great Wall Safe SUV.
The moment he saw this car, Pang Longhai's heart became ignited with passion.
He should know that with his tall stature, even driving the small Santana in the office made him feel cramped and breathless, like sitting in a matchbox.
A person of his physique would naturally prefer a spacious SUV.
In fact, for the past year, he had been browsing car forums, looking at various brands of SUVs.
Due to his profession, he dared not drive a car with a price that was too high, and of course, he could not afford it either.
After much consideration, he had chosen two SUVs that he liked the most, one of which was the Great Wall Safe.
This car had just been launched this year, with a 2.3-liter engine and a Honda engine, but with a top speed of only 130 km/h.
Pang Longhai liked this car because it had ample space, was low-key enough, and had an affordable price.
The high-end version sold for over 90,000 yuan, which was just perfect for him to drive.
Unfortunately, even the lowest configuration at over 70,000 yuan was still unaffordable for him.
Over the years, Pang Longhai had received red envelopes, but they were only small ones of a few hundred yuan. He dared not accept large sums of money because he felt that he was still young and could still strive for more.
Previously, he had discussed with his wife several times about taking out a loan to buy the low-end configuration, but his wife had always refused to agree. This made him very frustrated.
Who would have thought that he would see this car today?
For a moment, Pang Longhai did not immediately voice his intention to refuse.
Most importantly, Chen Fan was too good with words. He did not say he was giving it away, but directly said that he could not drive it himself and, as a friend, asked Pang Longhai to help drive it for a while to keep the car in good condition.
Look at how he phrased it, not a single word out of place.
Not only did it make one feel comfortable, but it also helped mitigate all potential risks.
To be honest, Pang Longhai was a little tempted.
In the two seconds of silence, Chen Fan had already handed over the keys.
"Haha, Officer Pang is clearly a car lover. I wouldn't feel comfortable letting others help drive it, but I'm at ease with Officer Pang."
Pang Longhai looked at Chen Fan and suddenly laughed heartily.
"You, little brother, are quite thoughtful."
"Since that's the case, I'll help you drive it for a while."
Chen Fan smiled, "Thank you, Officer Pang."
Pang Longhai waved his hand dismissively. "Don't call me Officer Pang from now on, it sounds too distant. Call me Brother Pang."
Chen Fan smiled and nodded, "Brother Pang."
Pang Longhai smiled and patted Chen Fan's shoulder.
"Don't worry, that little incident of yours is no big deal. I'll help you resolve it when I get back."
"Then I'll trouble Brother Pang. I still have classes at school, so I'll go first."
Pang Longhai curiously asked, "You didn't drive here?"
Chen Fan smiled, "I don't usually drive."
"No driver's license?"
"I have a license, but I want to keep my college life relatively pure."
Pang Longhai looked at Chen Fan deeply, then suddenly grinned.
"It seems Brother Chen Fan is a person with dreams."
"What dreams? I just don't want to be too flashy."
Chen Fan smiled, waved goodbye, and left by taking a taxi.
Pang Longhai finally took the car keys and got into the car. As soon as he opened the door, he realized that it was definitely not an old car that had been driven for a long time, as Chen Fan had said.
Looking at the interior, it was 100% a brand new car.
He started the engine and checked the mileage, and Pang Longhai smiled.
It couldn't be newer than this.
Recalling his two encounters with Chen Fan, this young man's impression on him was completely different from other wealthy second-generation rich kids.
Whether it was his demeanor, speech, or mannerisms, especially this gift, the car he chose was clearly carefully considered, perfectly matching Pang Longhai's status, and would not cause any trouble.
This was truly a gift from the heart.
Pang Longhai couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Interesting."
The effect of Chen Fan's gift soon manifested.
The next day, the police officers from the university town's West Road Police Station came again to retrieve surveillance footage. Within just two days, the group of hooligans who had previously caused trouble were arrested one by one.
Afterwards, Chen Fan also took Pang Longhai out for a separate meal.
This time, Pang Longhai gladly accepted the invitation, and his tone when chatting with Chen Fan was noticeably more relaxed, indicating that he had started treating Chen Fan as a friend.
Before the dishes were served, Chen Fan took out a stack of cards.
"Haha, don't worry, Brother Pang, this is not a bribe. These are membership cards for our First Encounter internet cafe, and there's not a single cent on them."
"Over the past two days, Brother Pang has helped us resolve such a big problem with your team. I have to express my gratitude. I heard from Brother Pang that your colleagues enjoy playing games at our internet cafe, so I asked them to prepare some membership cards."
Chen Fan explained with a smile, "Brother Pang, please give these to everyone. From now on, they can use these cards to go online at our cafe for free."
Pang Longhai looked at Chen Fan with an amused expression.
This kid understood how to give gifts.
A stack of membership cards, but they were essentially worthless since there was no balance on them. Yet, his colleagues would genuinely enjoy some benefits.
Most importantly, with these cards, everyone would naturally visit the First Encounter internet cafe more often.
With police officers there, who would dare cause trouble?
It was practically hitting multiple birds with one stone.
This kid was really a sly one.
"Haha, then I'll thank Brother Chen Fan on everyone's behalf."
Pang Longhai had no reason to refuse these, as the membership cards were essentially worthless.
As the dishes were served, the two chatted happily, sharing many interesting stories.
This time, Pang Longhai learned that Chen Fan was not some wealthy second-generation rich kid, but had actually started his own business.
Especially when he heard that the Medal Club and Feifan Technology, the hottest tech company in Yunhai City currently, were both founded by Chen Fan.
At this point, Pang Longhai truly looked at Chen Fan with new eyes.
Even his tone became much more cordial.
Feeling that it was about time, Chen Fan took out a few papers from his pocket and handed them to Pang Longhai.
"Brother Pang, I have a lead here. I don't know if you're interested?"
"Oh?"
Pang Longhai had drunk three glasses of white wine and was a little tipsy. He laughed heartily.
"Brother Chen is joking. Would a cop be afraid of having cases? I welcome any case."
"Come, let me take a look at what it is."
Pang Longhai took the few papers and glanced at them, immediately feeling a jolt, sobering up significantly.
He looked up at Chen Fan, then lowered his head to continue reading those papers.
After carefully reading through them, Pang Longhai finally looked up at Chen Fan.
"You... where did all these things come from?"
