Chapter 618: This Child is Generous
After sitting in the room and chatting with his father-in-law and mother-in-law for a while, Chen Fan's demeanor as the founder and boss of several companies gave him an air that didn't make him seem like a son-in-law who automatically lowers himself in front of his in-laws.
Su Xuecheng and Lin Wanxiu no longer treated Chen Fan as an ordinary son-in-law. They were very considerate of Chen Fan's feelings in their conversation.
When the topic turned to housing issues, Su Xuecheng mentioned his plan to buy another house in Luocheng.
He asked Chen Fan for his views on the current real estate market.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Although it's a bit late, now is still the best time to buy a house."
"I'm optimistic about the real estate market in the next few years."
Su Xuecheng was somewhat surprised: "You think house prices will continue to rise?"
Chen Fan nodded: "They definitely will."
Lin Wanxiu, who was helping her daughter wash fruit nearby, couldn't help but interject when she heard this.
"They'll keep rising? That's impossible, right? In some areas of Luocheng, house prices have already reached over 2,000 yuan per square meter."
"That's nearly double compared to two years ago."
But Chen Fan smiled and said, "If you really plan to buy a house, then do it quickly."
"Trust me, future house prices will definitely rise, and they'll rise to a terrifying level."
Su Xuecheng, being a businessman himself, had his own judgments.
He didn't quite believe Chen Fan's words.
"It can't be that exaggerated."
Chen Fan changed his posture and said with a smile, "If you have enough savings now, I suggest you buy several houses in first and second-tier cities. In ten to fifteen years, you can sell them and comfortably spend your retirement."
Su Xuecheng's eyes widened, seeing that Chen Fan didn't seem to be joking, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
The original plan was to accompany Su Xuecheng and his wife around Beijing with Su Ruochu today.
However, Chen Fan's phone suddenly received an unexpected text message.
Chen Fan looked a bit troubled: "Mom, Dad, I just received a message from a friend. They found out I'm in Beijing and want to meet up."
Hearing this, Su Xuecheng quickly said, "Then what are you waiting for? Go quickly. Don't delay your business."
"Don't worry about us, just let Ruochu accompany us today."
Su Ruochu also came out of the kitchen carrying fruit and said softly, "You go ahead. I'll take care of Mom and Dad."
Only then did Chen Fan stand up: "Then you accompany Mom and Dad to look around more, don't be stingy. Buy some gifts to take back."
After seeing Chen Fan off, Lin Wanxiu pulled her daughter aside and asked.
"Chen Fan just said he's going out to meet a friend, is his friend male or female?"
Su Ruochu shook her head: "I don't know."
"Child, you're already engaged to Chen Fan, how can you not know about his circle of friends? Don't you know what friends he has in Beijing?"
"Didn't Chen Fan mention anything to you before?"
Su Ruochu shook her head: "No. Chen Fan rarely comes to Beijing, I guess it might be a business partner."
"Even if it's a business partner, you should ask if it's a man or a woman."
Lin Wanxiu pulled her daughter close and started imparting her experience.
"Child, don't take this lightly. Chen Fan is so young now, it's the age when he wants to have fun. Although he likes you, who can guarantee he won't meet other women outside?"
"Especially at these gatherings, after a few drinks, if someone flirts a little, how much self-control can Chen Fan have?"
Su Ruochu felt a bit embarrassed.
"Mom, what are you saying?"
"How is this nonsense? I'm saying this for your own good. When you're with Chen Fan, you have too little initiative."
"Daughter, let me tell you, you can't have this attitude of not caring about worldly affairs. You need to fight, you need to firmly tie his heart to you."
"Chen Fan is so excellent and so rich, do you think there would be few women around him?"
Su Ruochu lowered her head and said nothing.
"I trust Chen Fan."
"You..."
Seeing that the mother and daughter were about to argue, Su Xuecheng interrupted.
"Alright, alright, you're talking nonsense without knowing anything."
"What if Chen Fan is meeting a male friend?"
Lin Wanxiu snorted coldly: "Even if it's a man this time, who can guarantee it won't be a woman next time."
"Our daughter is so honest, she looks like someone who would be easily bullied. Those women out there are all so cunning, when they see a young and rich golden bachelor like Chen Fan, won't they rush towards him like moths to a flame..."
Seeing her daughter lowering her head without saying anything, Lin Wanxiu asked, "Mom is asking you, how's your relationship with Chen Fan lately?"
Su Ruochu lowered her head: "It's good, he treats me very well."
"Has he said when he wants to marry you? When he'll marry you?"
Su Ruochu's face turned red, and she shook her head.
"You don't take the initiative to ask? I didn't agree when you wanted to pursue a master's degree back then. If you had gotten married earlier, at least it could have kept some women at bay..."
"Oh mom, please stop. Chen Fan isn't that kind of person."
"He even bought this house for me on this trip."
Lin Wanxiu suddenly realized.
"Oh right, I almost forgot about that."
"Go get the property ownership certificate and let me take a look."
"Why look at that?"
Seeing her daughter sitting still, Lin Wanxiu asked, "Let me ask you, Chen Fan said he bought the house for you, is your name on the property ownership certificate?"
Su Ruochu nodded: "Yes. At first, he wanted to put only my name, but I disagreed, so later we added his name too."
Lin Wanxiu was stunned, exchanging a glance with her husband.
"You mean... the owner listed on the certificate is you?"
Su Ruochu nodded. She got up and went to the room, coming back shortly with a property ownership certificate.
"Take a look."
Lin Wanxiu quickly took it and opened it to look at it with her husband.
After a few seconds, Su Xuecheng sighed.
"This child Chen Fan is really generous."
"I've said all along that your worries about this child are completely unfounded. He truly likes our daughter."
Lin Wanxiu looked a bit embarrassed, but she still stubbornly defended herself.
"I believe his feelings for our daughter are genuine, but that doesn't stop those loose women outside. Once or twice might be fine, but he's so excellent, and he'll only become more successful in the future. The women attracted to him will naturally become more beautiful and more numerous... Who can guarantee that one of them won't just happen to catch his eye?"
Su Xuecheng shook his head, "I don't want to argue with you. You're just overthinking things all day."
Meanwhile, Chen Fan went downstairs and got into the car.
"Old Feng, let's go to Qingsong Club. Do you know this place?"
Feng Pojun nodded: "Yes, I do."
"You know?" Chen Fan was a bit surprised.
Feng Pojun started the car and explained sheepishly.
"Before coming here, I bought a map of Beijing and memorized the entire city map."
Chen Fan smiled and praised him: "Not bad, not bad. You've really put in the effort."
Feng Pojun then knew that he had scored another point in his boss's mind.
Sometimes being a subordinate is just like this. Sentiment is sentiment, but you also need to prove your value in front of your boss.
Otherwise, there will come a day when the emotional credit runs out.
While driving, Feng Pojun glanced at Chen Fan sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror. At this moment, he was lowering his head and fiddling with his phone, seemingly sending a text message.
"Boss. I... have an idea."
"Hmm?"
Chen Fan didn't look up, casually saying.
"What idea? Let's hear it."
