Chapter 302: A Remarkable Woman
When Wen Wan mentioned that her phone was out of service, she didn't dare to make eye contact with Chen Fan.
Perhaps in her eyes, the person in front of her was much younger than her and used to be her student, so it would be embarrassing to tell him about this.
But Chen Fan was really the only friend she still trusted in Yunhai.
Chen Fan's expression first showed confusion, then bewilderment.
"Didn't you sell your house before leaving?"
What Chen Fan wanted to say was, what about the 300,000 yuan he gave her to buy an apartment?
Even if Wen Wan was a spendthrift, she couldn't have spent 300,000 yuan in just one year, right?
Wen Wan shook her head.
"After going to Yanjing for just half a year, my mother's condition became serious. I spent the remaining time accompanying her in the hospital for a few months. During that time, she had three surgeries, and the hospital issued several critical condition notices..."
Chen Fan understood.
So the money was all spent on medical expenses for her mother's treatment.
Wen Wan had spent all her savings trying to save her mother's life, but ultimately failed.
There is no greater pain in the world than this.
Recalling what Wen Wan had just said, that she was eating at a street stall, and her phone was out of service because she didn't have money to top up, and that she had to lower herself to work at an entertainment venue like a bar, playing the violin just to make a living.
For some reason, Chen Fan felt agitated.
How could this have happened?
In his view, Wen Wan was like a goddess, the dream girl of all the male students at school.
Not only because of her looks, but also her talents.
She was a true scholar, knowledgeable in all aspects of arts and academics.
Yet such a talented woman had ended up living such a miserable life.
Chen Fan sneaked a glance at Wen Wan across from him.
"What are your plans going forward?"
Wen Wan shook her head, "I'll figure that out later, but I probably still need to find a job."
Actually, there was one thing she didn't mention, her rent was due at the end of the month, and she was about to be evicted.
If she couldn't find a job this month, she might not even have a place to live.
After some hesitation, Chen Fan tentatively spoke up, "Why don't... I find you a job?"
Seeing Wen Wan look over, Chen Fan casually explained with a smile,
"You know, I'm running my own business, and although the company isn't big, I do have over a hundred employees working under me."
"If I arrange a job for you, it's totally fine."
Chen Fan said this very cautiously, afraid of hurting her self-esteem.
After all, the Wen Wan he knew was aloof and arrogant, like a cold and proud white swan.
Fortunately, Wen Wan didn't get angry.
She just asked curiously, "What kind of job could you arrange for me?"
Chen Fan smiled bitterly, "Well, it's a bit awkward, to be honest."
"I used to own a club, but I've sold it now. Currently, I'm running an internet cafe, and I also have an internet technology company."
"But if you really want me to arrange a job for you, it's absolutely no problem. As long as you agree."
Wen Wan smiled.
"Forget it. I don't know anything about the internet. And I don't like doing things I'm not good at."
Just as he expected.
Chen Fan felt a bit depressed.
He wanted to persuade her further, but Wen Wan had already stood up with her violin case.
"It's getting late. I should head back."
"By the way, thank you for keeping me company tonight."
"It's been a long time since I returned to Yunhai, and I haven't talked to anyone for so long."
Chen Fan smiled wryly, "Where do you live? Let me give you a ride?"
Wen Wan pointed in a direction.
"Not far from here. I can go back myself. You should head home too."
After saying that, Wen Wan carried her violin case alone and walked to the bus stop.
As for why she didn't take a taxi, it was naturally because she was short of money.
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment, then followed her.
He really wanted to help her hail a taxi, but he thought that if he did that, Wen Wan would probably turn and walk away immediately.
"Aren't you going home?" Wen Wan asked in confusion when she saw Chen Fan following her.
Chen Fan smiled, "The school is in that direction, I need to take the bus too."
Wen Wan nodded and didn't say anything else.
After chatting for a few minutes, the bus arrived.
Before Wen Wan got on the bus, Chen Fan plucked up his courage and reminded her again.
"Think about my proposal again."
"If it really doesn't work out, you can take this job first, and leave when you find a more suitable one in the future."
Standing on the bus, Wen Wan gave Chen Fan a slight smile.
"Thank you for your kindness. But no need."
Watching the bus leave, Chen Fan shook his head speechlessly.
A stubborn woman with a speechless sense of self-esteem.
...
After several rounds of negotiations, Ding Dian's talks with the person in charge at the school were almost finalized.
The two sides had negotiated the price down by another 2 million yuan from the original asking price, with the other party insisting on a sale price of 26 million yuan.
At this point, Ding Dian's task was accomplished.
Chen Fan also knew it was time for him to step in.
On a sunny and pleasant day, Chen Fan met with the person in charge from the school at a cafe.
Unexpectedly, the person who came this time was a woman in her forties.
She was wearing a very fashionable dress suit, with an expensive-looking string of pearls around her neck, and carrying a blue LV bag, looking very glamorous and wealthy.
"And you are?"
Chen Fan was a bit surprised, as he remembered that the person Ding Dian had negotiated with before was a man.
"Allow me to introduce myself, my surname is Shi. The person who negotiated with you before was my younger brother."
The woman shook hands with Chen Fan and sat down, smiling as she spoke.
"I figured Mr. Chen would probably show up in person this time, so I came myself."
Chen Fan felt a bit embarrassed.
"You know me."
"Heh heh, who hasn't heard of Mr. Chen, the young entrepreneur who created the Medal Club legend in just a few short months?"
"It's just that Mr. Chen is too mysterious, and many people don't even have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of you."
Chen Fan felt a bit awkward and didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, the woman continued, "Mr. Chen, what are you planning to use this land for after purchasing it?"
The woman had a faint smile on her face, very graceful, as if she could instantly shorten the distance between them.
"I don't suppose you're planning to open a school? Or is Mr. Chen preparing to open another club?"
On this matter, Chen Fan saw no need to hide anything.
"That's right. I'm planning to open another club."
The woman smiled faintly again.
"A while ago, Mr. Chen pulled off a scheme against the Zhao family, taking over 20 million yuan from them for free, and eventually even profiting a several hundred million yuan from the demolition compensation."
"Although this matter hasn't been widely publicized, it's no longer a secret in Yunhai's business circles."
"To be honest, even though I had heard that Mr. Chen was very young, I was still quite shocked when I saw you in person today."
Seeing Chen Fan sitting opposite her in silence, the woman smiled and leaned her body forward slightly, placing her hands on the table.
The neckline of her expensive dress slipped slightly, revealing a glimpse of fair skin.
"Mr. Chen, you've set your sights on this plot of land... Could it be..."
"That this land of mine is also going to be demolished?"
