Chapter 574: Any News?
Feng Pojun turned his head in confusion.
"Boss, do you know him?"
Chen Fan stared at the young man in the photo, somewhat amused.
"You could say that."
In his previous life, he indeed knew the person, and they were quite close.
However, in this life, they hadn't met yet.
Zhou Wangchao.
In his previous life, Zhou Wangchao was Chen Fan's right-hand man. The rapid expansion and development of the real estate business was inseparable from Zhou Wangchao's personal abilities.
Chen Fan valued Old Zhou greatly.
He had even gone with Su Ruochu to the man's hometown to look for him before.
He just didn't expect that by some twist of fate, the man would enter his field of vision again in this way.
It seems this is what they call destiny.
A person like Zhou Wangchao, if placed in ancient times, would be equivalent to a fierce general expanding territory under the emperor.
Chen Fan only needed to trust him completely, and leave the rest to him to handle.
Looking at Zhou Wangchao's profile.
It stated that he was currently 30 years old, single, and shared a rental apartment in a tube-shaped building.
He was currently working as a property salesman in a real estate company's sales office.
The last time Chen Fan had the car accident, Zhou Wangchao happened to be handing out flyers nearby, which led to their encounter.
Chen Fan smiled.
It seems that in both his past and present lives, Old Zhou's starting point was particularly rough.
His talent could only be fully unleashed after meeting a true talent scout.
If that's the case, then let him continue to be Zhou's talent scout.
"Contact this person and bring him to my office this afternoon."
"Alright."
At noon, he went home to check in briefly. He had been out for a day and night, and his mother was already displeased.
Originally, she had stayed here to take care of her son's injury.
But now, she couldn't even see him all day.
Fortunately, Chen Fan always took a car when going out, otherwise Li Jinqiu might have really lost her temper.
"Mom, don't stay at home all day. If you have nothing to do, go downstairs and walk around, go shopping at the mall. Buy whatever you want, I'll pay for it."
Li Jinqiu glanced at her son.
"Even if you have money, you shouldn't spend it recklessly."
"Is your leg really okay now?"
Chen Fan immediately lifted his plastered leg and shook it.
"It's really fine now. When the plaster comes off, your son will not only be able to run, but also do big jumps..."
"You're not being serious!"
Li Jinqiu made a gesture of hitting her son, then continued.
"I've figured it out, you basically can't stay idle here, even the president isn't as busy as you."
"Since that's the case, there's no point in me staying here. Your dad called today and said the corn at home needs to be harvested."
"I'm worried he'll be too tired alone, so why don't I take the bus back tomorrow morning?"
"Huh? You're going back already?" Chen Fan grumbled, "I was planning to have you stay here and enjoy life. It's only been a few days and you want to go back."
"Dad is really something, I've told him not to farm anymore, but he just won't listen."
"You two work hard for a year, and in the end, you earn less than what others make in a few months working outside."
"Being a farmer is the most miserable job in the world."
"Nonsense again!" Li Jinqiu explained, "Mom knows you care about us, but the land is just there. If we don't farm it, won't it all go to waste? As farmers, it breaks our hearts to see the land wasted."
"If we don't farm it, we can let others farm it. We can give it to Second Aunt's family or Fourth Uncle's family. If they don't want to farm it, we can rent it to other villagers."
Chen Fan looked serious, "Mom, you and dad are getting older. I really don't want you two to suffer anymore."
Li Jinqiu sighed.
"How about this, when I go back, I'll discuss it with your dad again. If he agrees, I have no objections."
"Alright. I need to go to the company again in a while, then you wait for me to come back. In the afternoon, I'll take you around to shop and buy some things to take back."
Li Jinqiu wanted to say something more, but Chen Fan had already made the decision.
"It's settled then. I'll come back to pick you up in the afternoon."
In the afternoon, Chen Fan met Zhou Wangchao at Qifan Construction.
At this moment, Old Zhou was not yet the famous "golden employee" of the future.
He was wearing a black suit, which should be his work uniform.
He was carrying a briefcase with a stack of flyers inside, looking like he had been brought over by Old Feng while distributing flyers.
"Please sit down!"
Chen Fan didn't act overly polite, maintaining a purely business-like manner.
"You remember me, right?"
Zhou Wangchao nodded.
"Yes, I remember."
Of course he remembered Chen Fan, but he didn't expect Chen Fan to be so young and actually a big boss.
Chen Fan poured him a cup of tea and passed it over. Zhou Wangchao was a bit overwhelmed, quickly standing up and respectfully accepting it with both hands.
"You saved my life. You're my lifesaver."
"I don't like owing people favors, so I called you here to ask, what kind of work are you doing currently?"
Zhou Wangchao quickly replied, "I... I'm a property salesman."
Chen Fan nodded, "As you can see, this real estate company is mine. Are you interested in working here?"
Zhou Wangchao's body trembled, immediately realizing this was an opportunity for him.
So he almost didn't think and immediately gave his answer.
"I'm willing."
Chen Fan nodded appreciatively.
"Which department do you want to go to?"
"Huh?"
Zhou Wangchao was stunned. He didn't expect that when Chen Fan asked him to work at the company, he would even let him choose the department.
This was a huge opportunity falling from the sky.
This time Zhou Wangchao thought for a few seconds before decisively saying,
"I... want to go to the engineering department."
His thinking was simple. Although the engineering department was very tiring, it paid well and was very stable.
He was truly tired of being poor.
Chen Fan smiled.
"How about this. You work in the CEO's office for 3 months first, familiarize yourself with the company's operational processes. If your performance is satisfactory by then, I'll arrange for you to go to a suitable department."
Zhou Wangchao was dumbfounded.
What did that mean?
Was the boss planning to groom him?
Before he could excitedly express his gratitude, Chen Fan had already waved his hand.
"Alright. That's it then. Just follow her, she'll help you handle all the procedures."
The secretary beside him came over, extending her hand in invitation.
"Sir, please come with me."
Zhou Wangchao stood up in a daze and followed her.
When he reached the door, Zhou Wangchao suddenly stopped, turned around and bowed deeply to Chen Fan.
"Thank you, boss."
"I definitely won't let you down."
Watching the two leave, Chen Fan slowly took a sip of tea, thinking about where to take his mother shopping in the afternoon and what things they needed to buy.
The phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Chen Fan glanced at the caller ID, somewhat surprised.
Chen Wenchao?
The negotiation representative from Baidu last time?
Why was he calling?
Chen Fan answered the call, smiling as he greeted,
"Hello, Manager Chen, what brings you to call me?"
"Don't tell me you're ready to switch sides and come work for me?"
Chen Wenchao on the other end of the phone chuckled.
"Mr. Chen is joking."
"I called you because there's something I want to ask you about."
"Please go ahead."
"You asked me last time to keep an eye out for anyone privately selling Baidu's original shares..."
When Chen Fan heard this, he immediately sat up straight, his voice rising a pitch.
"Any news?"
