Chapter 714: Theme Song?
Chen Fan nodded and comforted Song Linlin.
"I understand everything. Don't worry, I'll find Ma Xiaoshuai next."
"Also, I'll arrange for someone to replace you this afternoon. Go home, take a good shower, and get some sleep. You can't break down now. This family needs you."
Song Linlin's eyes reddened, then she smiled and shook her head.
"Thank you. But it's not necessary. I can still hold on."
"Auntie's emotions are very sensitive now, and I'm the only one who can barely comfort her. I'm worried that other people might upset her."
Chen Fan: "Alright then. Keep in touch, and remember to call me if anything happens."
"Mm-hmm."
Song Linlin suddenly remembered something and forced a smile as she asked.
"By the way, how's your girlfriend? Didn't Su Ruochu go to teach as a volunteer?"
Chen Fan grinned: "She's doing well. Although the conditions there aren't great, she's really enjoying her volunteer teaching work."
Song Linlin smiled bitterly: "I really envy your love."
"What's there to envy? We're in a long-distance relationship now."
Chen Fan waved his hand: "Go back now. Wait for my news."
"Okay."
Watching Song Linlin turn and walk back to the ward, Chen Fan exchanged glances with Luo Wenjie and Guo Shuai.
"Let's go."
In the elevator, Luo Wenjie said: "We've had people watching the homes of this Boss Liu and those other car fleet bosses who were involved, but so far, none of them have shown up."
Chen Fan frowned in thought.
Ma Xiaoshuai had been missing for almost 3 days now.
The guy had turned off his phone, clearly not wanting anyone to find him.
Chen Fan could guess why he was doing this.
It was nothing more than a life for a life. He wanted to avenge his father.
Sigh, this guy was being impulsive this time.
"Let's go home first."
Leaving the inpatient department, Chen Fan looked at Guo Shuai.
"What do you say? Want to come to my place?"
Guo Shuai shook his head.
"I wouldn't be much help even if I went. I still need to pick up my girlfriend from work."
Chen Fan waved his hand: "Go on then. I just hate you couples always showing off your love."
Guo Shuai laughed, "Who told you to act like a good guy, insisting on giving Su Ruochu absolute freedom."
"If you ask me, women shouldn't be spoiled. The more you spoil them, the more they'll take advantage. Wouldn't it be better to just get married and have them stay at home to be good wives and mothers?"
Luo Wenjie nodded in agreement.
"Mm. This time I'm on Old Guo's side, I think he's right."
"You two don't know shit!" Chen Fan cursed with a smile, "If you have the guts, say that in front of Miaomiao next time."
Guo Shuai chuckled and waved his hand.
"Contact me anytime if you have news, call me if you need help."
After watching Guo Shuai drive away, Luo Wenjie drove Chen Fan home.
Not having been home for half a month, the first thing Chen Fan did upon entering was to open the windows to let in fresh air.
Luo Wenjie glanced at the time, "So, shall we go out for dinner first? We haven't even had a welcome back meal for you after that long flight."
Chen Fan shook his head: "That brat Xiaoshuai has run off to who knows where, what welcome meal are you talking about."
"Let's just have something simple at home."
Luo Wenjie went over and opened the fridge.
"Damn. There's nothing here, what are we supposed to eat?"
"You won't starve."
Chen Fan went to the kitchen and rummaged around, finding a few packs of instant noodles.
"Let's just cook some noodles."
"And fry some eggs. You're lucky today, I don't usually let others eat these eggs."
Luo Wenjie teased with a smile: "I've always wanted to ask, what's so special about these eggs that they're so important to you?"
"Don't tell me they're from your wife?"
"Isn't your wife away doing volunteer teaching? Did she go to raise chickens in the mountains?"
"Stop talking nonsense and help me clean the kitchen first."
While busy cooking, Chen Fan casually asked: "How's that bathhouse of yours going?"
Luo Wenjie grinned: "Business is not bad."
"You know, although we're not doing anything illegal, running a bathhouse is still quite profitable."
"The massage therapists and service staff I hired are all top-notch beauties. Combined with our good environment and guaranteed safety, this alone attracts plenty of male customers."
Chen Fan smiled: "Don't just focus on your bathhouse, how's the Jinding Entertainment we set up for you guys?"
Luo Wenjie shook his head: "Boss, I was just about to talk to you about this."
"Guo Shuai and I aren't cut out for big business. I can barely manage running a bathhouse, but running a company? We're not good at that."
"If it weren't for the management leaders recruited by your group for this Jinding Entertainment, we two wouldn't be able to handle it at all."
Chen Fan put water on to boil, then went to wash the eggs.
"I didn't ask you to manage it. Of course, professional matters should be left to professionals."
"You two just need to keep an eye on these professional managers doing their job."
"Don't act like you've completely delegated authority, or you might get fooled without even knowing it."
Luo Wenjie chuckled: "Don't worry. We may not be good at doing business, but when it comes to keeping an eye on these managers, I'm confident we can do it."
Chen Fan became interested: "Well then, tell me, what method do you use to manage them?"
Luo Wenjie said proudly: "Divide and conquer, focus on rewards, and let them compete positively among themselves."
Chen Fan laughed.
"Not bad, Brother Jie, you've got some skills."
Luo Wenjie immediately became smug.
"Let me tell you, I already have three inside sources in the company now. Although I'm not often at the company, I know every move these managers make."
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head. With Brother Jie's shrewd mind, it wouldn't be easy to fool him.
Chen Fan cooked a big pot of instant noodles and fried two plates of egg pancakes with the eggs he brought back.
Luo Wenjie couldn't wait to taste it.
"Mm, delicious! These are definitely free-range mountain chicken eggs."
As he said this, he got up and rummaged around the house, and sure enough, he found a few cans of beer.
Chen Fan was speechless: "You need to drink beer even with noodles?"
"Stop talking nonsense, are you drinking or not?"
Two cans of beer each, then they wolfed down a pot of noodles. Luo Wenjie couldn't stop praising the plate of eggs.
Before leaving, he wanted to take half of the eggs in the basket, but Chen Fan absolutely refused.
In the end, Luo Wenjie thick-skinned took 5 eggs. Just enough to fry one dish.
After Luo Wenjie left, Chen Fan cleaned the dishes alone, then lay on the sofa, smoking a cigarette while thinking about things.
After staying in the mountains for half a month, a pile of things were waiting for him to deal with upon his return.
He needed to make a trip to the company, visit Mayor Tong Haoran, and the upcoming shantytown renovation project was about to start...
Of course, the most important thing right now was to find Ma Xiaoshuai quickly, otherwise Chen Fan was really worried that problems might arise if too much time passed.
He took out his phone and called Ma Xiaoshuai again.
But it was still turned off.
Just as Chen Fan was getting frustrated, the phone in his hand rang.
Chen Fan quickly looked down, only to find that it was Wen Wan calling.
Chen Fan's lips curled into a slight smile.
"Hello, what made you suddenly think of calling me?"
Wen Wan's voice on the other end of the phone was still as gentle as water.
"I tried calling you a couple of days ago but couldn't get through, so I thought I'd try again today. I didn't expect to get through."
Chen Fan smiled: "I was out of town a couple of days ago, just got back today."
"By the way, how's your movie going? Should be almost finished shooting, right?"
Wen Wan said softly: "Just a few more scenes and it'll be done. I've already met with the crew of 《Perhaps Love》 a few days ago."
"Congratulations, congratulations."
Chen Fan offered his congratulations, but still reminded her: "Don't overwork yourself, you can rest for a few days after finishing before starting the next job."
"Mm. I'm not tired. I'm full of energy every day now."
After chatting briefly with Chen Fan, Wen Wan somewhat shyly said.
"There's one more thing I wanted to tell you. Director Stanley Tong talked to me a few days ago, saying he wants me to sing the movie's theme song with Brother Jackie Chan."
"He gave us a song, but I feel like it doesn't quite fit this movie..."
"Theme song?"
Chen Fan suddenly froze.
He suddenly remembered.
The most famous thing about this movie seems to be that theme song.
