Chapter 533: A Request That Makes One Laugh and Cry
Yan Qing glanced at Monkey and the others who had already started dancing on the dance floor, and explained to Chen Fan with a smile.
"They're actually not bad at heart, just a bit hot-tempered."
"But don't think they're deliberately targeting you. In our circle, to gain respect, you first need to have enough capital."
"Either your family is badass or you yourself are badass!"
"People in this circle only hang out with those they consider to be of the same level or class."
Yan Qing smiled and poured a glass of wine for Chen Fan.
"After all, if you ask everyone to hang out with an ordinary person, they won't be able to connect."
Chen Fan nodded.
"I understand."
After clinking glasses with Yan Qing, Chen Fan casually asked, "Are you planning to bring me into your circle?"
Yan Qing laughed, "With me, you're certainly fine. But they don't know you well, so they think you're not qualified."
"So, to integrate into our circle, you'll have to rely on yourself."
"Otherwise, even if I forcefully bring you in, you won't get everyone's respect."
Chen Fan smiled faintly: "Aren't you overestimating me?"
Yan Qing stared at Chen Fan and slowly put down his wine glass.
"I do know some of your background. If it was just based on that club, you might find it difficult to enter here. But if we add the founder of Feifan Technology, then you're definitely qualified."
"To be honest, I'm quite optimistic about your Feifan Technology."
"Established less than 3 years ago, it's already making waves in the internet world. Not just in Yunhai, even in first-tier cities, Feifan Technology would definitely be considered a very impressive entity."
Chen Fan's heart stirred.
Could it be that he had guessed correctly?
Could this guy really be coveting his Feifan Technology, wanting to buy shares?
Chen Fan inconspicuously put down the glass in his hand and calmly spoke.
"To be honest, I've never felt like I'm on the same path as the people here."
"I was born in an ordinary rural family. From my childhood experiences to my background, everything is different from yours."
"I barely managed to get into university, worked hard to achieve some results, but I never thought about joining a circle like yours."
"In my eyes, you're all people born with silver spoons in your mouths, while I need to give my all just to have a slim chance to sit here and drink with you."
Yan Qing stared at Chen Fan and chuckled.
"You seem to look down on people like us."
"Not at all," Chen Fan said very sincerely, "Some people are born in Rome, some are born to be workhorses."
"Sometimes, even being born is a skill."
"I don't mean to look down on anyone, I'm just saying that maybe... I'm not on the same path as you."
Yan Qing looked at Chen Fan, "Now that such an opportunity is presented, don't you want to try and join in?"
"Are you planning to refuse?"
Chen Fan smiled.
"Why should I refuse?"
"For everyone, this is a dream opportunity."
"And now I'm standing right at the doorstep of opportunity. I'm not a fool, why would I refuse?"
Yan Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You're interesting, very much to my liking."
Unexpectedly, Chen Fan suddenly said in the next moment.
"I just have one question I can't figure out."
"Why me?"
"Hm?"
Yan Qing looked puzzled.
Chen Fan slowly said, "I believe there's no such thing as a free lunch. Including this time, I've only met you three times."
"I don't think I'm excellent enough that you'd be so nice to me and willing to bring me into your circle just based on my looks. So..."
"Why?"
The smile on Yan Qing's face gradually disappeared.
"You think I'm doing this with an ulterior motive?"
Chen Fan didn't answer directly, but said, "I believe no one would be kind to a stranger for no reason."
"And I'm the kind of person who likes to be straightforward. If Young Master Yan has any intentions, why not just be open about it?"
Yan Qing stared at Chen Fan for two seconds, then suddenly smiled.
"Interesting."
"You're indeed very smart."
"No wonder you've achieved such success at such a young age."
After pondering for two seconds, Yan Qing spoke again.
"Actually... the reason I'm helping you, besides finding you quite to my liking, is that I want you to do me a small favor."
As expected.
Chen Fan remained silent, waiting for the other to continue.
"I have a band..."
"You might not know, but I have quite a few hobbies. My biggest hobbies are playing with cars and playing in a band."
Chen Fan immediately recalled Tong Yao's introduction before coming here.
That girl indeed hadn't lied to him.
Yan Qing didn't notice Chen Fan's expression and continued talking.
"Our band occasionally writes some original songs, but we haven't really made a name for ourselves."
Chen Fan was a bit confused. What does your band have to do with me, a businessman?
Unexpectedly, in the next sentence, Yan Qing suddenly stared at Chen Fan and asked.
"You should have a good relationship with that female celebrity Wen Wan, right?"
Chen Fan was stunned on the spot, his expression changing slightly.
Before Chen Fan could speak, Yan Qing continued.
"Don't misunderstand."
"Our band's original plan was to ride on the fame of the big star Wen Wan."
"I heard that before she entered the film and TV industry, she was once a member of that online group called Commoner."
Chen Fan: "..."
At this moment, Chen Fan's mind was in chaos, as if a million thoughts were racing through.
Just for this?
After all this build-up, it was just for this matter?
Now he understood a bit better Tong Yao's evaluation that Yan Qing had a nice personality and was very cultured.
If it were someone else, they would have probably met Wen Wan in person by now with just a little use of connections.
But this guy in front of him had gone in such a roundabout way to reach out to him.
To say Yan Qing had done some investigation, he indeed had, at least to the extent of finding out that he had a good relationship with Wen Wan.
But brother, didn't you think to investigate a bit deeper about me?
If you had just checked Wang Xu and Li Changjun's studio, you would have known that I am actually Commoner himself, wouldn't you?
At this moment, Chen Fan actually gained more fondness for this Young Master Yan.
At least he had been acting according to his own principles, not using the power in his hands to forcefully demand Chen Fan to find Wen Wan.
Instead, he had taken such a roundabout way, first making Chen Fan owe him a favor before discussing his request.
Yan Qing explained with a wry smile: "We found Miss Wen Wan's agency and learned that when she auditioned for the company, she mentioned that she had done some creative work for Commoner, so we suspected she might be a member of the Commoner group..."
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Back then, when giving the script to Wen Wan for the audition, to increase the chances of success, he had instructed Wen Wan that she could reveal a bit about her connection to Commoner...
He didn't expect that by coincidence, someone actually believed it.
"We contacted Miss Wen Wan through her agent, but she refused, saying she was currently filming on set."
Chen Fan thought it would be strange if she hadn't refused.
She's now a big star after all, how could she just run off to play with an unknown little band?
Yan Qing looked at Chen Fan: "I know you have a good relationship with her, could you help introduce us?"
Chen Fan stared at Yan Qing and asked the first question.
"How did you know that Wen Wan and I know each other?"
