Chapter 468: Teacher, Please Don't Think So Highly of Me
The news of Xu Qiuci's rapid promotion to become the new assistant manager of the Human Resources Department quickly spread throughout the entire company.
This further confirmed the gossip. Xu Qiuci indeed had an undeniable relationship with the new boss.
At once, voices of envy, gossip, disdain, and mockery began to circulate.
Xu Qiuci could guess the external reactions, but she didn't care.
Because she cherished this opportunity very much.
And in the following days, Xu Qiuci quickly proved with her abilities that she was fully capable of handling this job.
She assisted Guo Wendong in organizing all employees' personal files in the shortest time, then cooperated with Guo Wendong to implement several reforms, directly firing more than a dozen employees with the worst performance who slacked off at work.
This made everyone in the company nervous, and no one dared to openly spread gossip about Xu Qiuci anymore.
However, privately, people talked even more fiercely. Someone even gave her a nickname, calling her the "cold-blooded mistress."
It was bad enough being the boss's mistress, but to be so harsh to her colleagues in the company.
This woman was simply vicious.
No matter how much people cursed, the planned reform measures could not be changed, and everyone had to passively submit and choose to accept.
In mid-December, the company finally moved to the office building in Hongyun district.
Several executives that Guo Wendong had poached through headhunting companies also successively joined the company.
At this point, Qifan Construction officially began to operate.
Chen Fan had been staying at school accompanying Su Ruochu to review during this period, because the last final exam was coming up soon.
This was also the last final exam of the entire university period.
At the same time, everyone also began to choose graduation thesis topics and advisors.
Chen Fan wasn't interested in this and directly handed it over to Su Ruochu, letting her help choose together, as long as they chose the same advisor.
However, a few days later, Chen Fan received a notice.
He had actually been assigned to Professor Chen, who taught Economics and Management.
Standing in Professor Chen's office, Chen Fan was confused.
He clearly chose the same advisor as his girlfriend, and the application had been approved.
How did he end up in Professor Chen's group?
Moreover, this Professor Chen was one of the teachers Chen Fan was most familiar with during his university years.
When Chen Fan failed a course before, he even ran to Professor Chen's office to plead for mercy.
It wasn't until he arrived here that Chen Fan understood that it was Professor Chen who personally requested him from other advisors.
In the office, there were four students including Chen Fan.
Two of them were top students, perennial scholarship recipients, and one was the president of the student union.
Only Chen Fan seemed ordinary.
Professor Chen hadn't arrived yet, and those three guys gathered to chat, completely treating Chen Fan as if he wasn't there.
Chen Fan was also happy to be relaxed, sitting alone on the sofa leisurely reading a newspaper.
The three secretly observed Chen Fan, seeing his attitude, they couldn't help but show contempt.
Professor Chen's temper wasn't good, yet he dared to be so casual here. When Professor Chen comes back, he'll be in for it.
About 15 minutes later, the office door opened, and Professor Chen walked in.
"Sorry, there was a meeting at the school, I'm late."
The three students immediately greeted him warmly, and Chen Fan also stood up with the newspaper.
"Professor Chen is so busy, yet still guiding our theses, it's really too much trouble."
"Professor Chen, we will definitely work hard and write our theses well..."
Faced with the three students' enthusiastic flattery, Professor Chen just nodded slightly, then directly interrupted them and asked,
"Have you chosen your thesis topics?"
"We chose long ago."
"Professor, I've already written half of my thesis. I can let you see the first draft soon..."
Professor Chen nodded, "Then why are you still talking? Go prepare your theses over there."
After saying this, ignoring the three, he walked directly towards Chen Fan.
"Xiao Chen. Sit, sit!"
Chen Fan smiled and greeted, "Professor Chen. Long time no see."
"Haha, it has been a long time indeed. You basically didn't come to my class this semester, did you?"
Chen Fan's face reddened, "Well..."
"It's fine. I know you're busy too."
"Let's not waste words. Have you chosen your thesis topic this time?"
Chen Fan was a bit embarrassed and quickly pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket.
On it were several topics he had chosen. According to Chen Fan's plan, he would just find a few simple topics from the internet and muddle through.
But when Professor Chen took it and looked, his brows immediately furrowed.
"These few topics..."
"Well, for others, there's no problem."
"But for you, I think they're a bit too simple."
Professor Chen patted Chen Fan's shoulder with a serious expression.
"Xiao Chen, it's the last year of university."
"The thesis is a summary of your four years of university life, so you must be very careful in choosing the topic."
"Don't use these topics, think of a new one."
"The topic should have depth, strength, and substance."
"You must write it well, strive to write a high-quality thesis, and draw a perfect conclusion to your university life."
Chen Fan immediately felt a headache coming on.
"Professor Chen, I think these topics are quite good. My abilities are limited, I can't write anything more profound."
"Come on. Don't be modest! You've achieved such success at such a young age, do you dare say you don't have substance? I don't believe it."
Professor Chen stared at Chen Fan and said seriously, "Don't be lazy, write a good high-quality thesis."
"I have high hopes for you."
Chen Fan was about to cry.
Can I beg you not to have such high hopes for me?
The three students on the side were also dumbfounded.
When had they ever seen Professor Chen be so amiable to a student?
Was this still the usually serious and rigid Professor Chen?
What background did this guy have?
They originally thought they would be the ones Professor Chen focused on, but now it seemed like they were more like free gifts that came with a purchase.
Across from them, Professor Chen smiled and pulled Chen Fan to sit on the sofa.
"Think about the topic again when you go back. Come, come, first tell me how your company's development is going?"
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't dare disobey the old man's orders.
He had no choice but to briefly describe the current operating conditions of Feifan Technology.
To avoid making the old man feel like he was perfunctory, Chen Fan even gritted his teeth and voluntarily disclosed some information. He said that Feifan Technology was currently developing a new product that could be applied to mobile phones in the future.
Sure enough, hearing this, Professor Chen became interested.
"Applied to mobile phones?"
"Specifically in which aspect? Come, tell me in detail."
Professor Chen was a typical academic teacher, so there was no harm in revealing some inside information to him.
So Chen Fan explained that it was a mobile phone browser.
This time Professor Chen became interested immediately.
"A mobile phone browser? What exactly does it do?"
"News, pictures, entertainment, sports, finance... of course, mainly text and image content dissemination..."
Professor Chen's eyes instantly lit up.
"Tsk, that's quite a good idea. But with our country's current network speed and data plan costs, I'm afraid your product won't be easy to spread, right?"
Chen Fan smiled and looked at Professor Chen, "Professor, you're also an expert in related fields. How long do you think it will be before our country's network speeds up again..."
Professor Chen's eyes lit up again.
"You're preparing in advance for the next few years!"
"Good boy!"
Professor Chen excitedly patted Chen Fan.
"This means you already have quite a few ideas about the future of the domestic internet in the next few years."
"Look, this is a good thesis topic direction... Come, first briefly tell me your thoughts."
In the corner, the three top student classmates watched Professor Chen chatting enthusiastically with Chen Fan, and suddenly felt somewhat lonely and neglected.
In an instant, it was as if they had become unwanted children.
