Chapter 729: A New Candidate
Chen Fan suddenly asked about Liu Qianqian, causing Luo Wenjie to turn his head in confusion.
"What's up?"
"Nothing, just asking. Yesterday Liu Qianqian asked if she could come work at my company."
Luo Wenjie was curious: "Did you agree?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "That's why I'm asking for your opinion first."
"What opinion would I have? We've already broken up."
Luo Wenjie shook his head with a smile: "But I do know a bit about her current situation."
"Liu Qianqian is now working as an office clerk in a company, with a monthly salary of just over 2,000 yuan. After deducting rent, utilities, cosmetics, clothes, and food, she barely has any money left."
Chen Fan looked surprised, "How do you know so much? Didn't you say you had no feelings for her anymore?"
Luo Wenjie was speechless, "Brother, even though we broke up, we're still friends, right? Plus, I have her on QQ, and she writes diary entries and posts her feelings on QQ Space every day."
"She's mentioned all this on her QQ Space before."
Chen Fan was taken aback.
Oh right, QQ Space was launched in 2005, how could he have forgotten about that.
It seemed he hadn't activated his Space yet, he wondered if Ruochu had. He made a mental note to ask her later.
Luo Wenjie continued to ask: "Did Liu Qianqian really ask if she could come work for you?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"At the time, I thought she was just joking around."
Luo Wenjie nodded, "Then I should understand now."
"What do you understand?"
"Recently, she's been constantly harassed at work by her boss, a middle-aged manager. It's been really bothering her, and she often rants about it on her Space."
Luo Wenjie didn't hide anything: "I even called her before to ask if she needed help, offering to find some guys to teach that manager a lesson, but she refused."
Chen Fan pondered, so there was such a thing.
If that's the case, Liu Qianqian's previous inquiry might not have been a joke after all.
Luo Wenjie was a bit curious: "Are you really going to bring her into your company?"
Instead of answering, Chen Fan smiled and asked: "What's wrong? Are you getting emotional again?"
"Not at all." Luo Wenjie's answer was quite frank.
"I think there's no possibility between us anymore. She's the type of woman who can't accept a boyfriend with any flaws, and I'm the type of man who can't accept having only one girlfriend in my life."
Chen Fan rolled his eyes speechlessly.
You do have a clear self-awareness.
Luo Wenjie smiled: "Brother, I guess I'm destined to be a playboy in this life. Sigh, there are just too many girls who need my care."
"But coming back to the point, I guess she approached you about this because she saw your capabilities this time. She probably wants to take the chance to return to Yunhai. After all, she has friends and old classmates here, and you're a big shot she can rely on. It's understandable."
Chen Fan jokingly asked: "Do you think I should let her join the company?"
Luo Wenjie shook his head frankly: "That's not for me to decide. If it weren't for the fact that I'm in the bathhouse business, I would have asked her if she wanted to work for me long ago."
"Actually, the one who'd be happiest about her coming back to Yunhai isn't me, but Ma Xiaoshuai."
Chen Fan looked confused.
"Why?"
"Do you even need to ask? Song Linlin has been busy with the milk tea shop and taking care of Ma Xiaoshuai's mother lately, she's been worn out. Plus, she really doesn't have many friends in Yunhai."
"Ma Xiaoshuai even mentioned this to me before, saying he wanted to introduce some friends to Song Linlin, but unfortunately, Song Linlin isn't very willing to make new friends."
"There's another girl from their dorm room in Yunhai, but she's almost completely cut ties with the 326 dorm."
Chen Fan knew Luo Wenjie was talking about Li Jiao.
But he thought Brother Jie's words made sense.
If they brought Liu Qianqian to Yunhai, it would indeed be a big help to Ma Xiaoshuai.
However, he absolutely wouldn't let Liu Qianqian into his company.
Especially after what happened last night.
After pondering for a while, Chen Fan made a decision.
"How about letting her go to Jinding Entertainment?"
"She's a clerk, she can work there normally, and that place is now managed by you and Guo Shuai, so it's more reassuring."
Chen Fan joked: "How about it, Brother Jie? You owe me one."
"No, no, no. This is your personal decision, it has nothing to do with me." Luo Wenjie quickly waved his hands.
But then he added: "But if you tell her this news, she'll probably be very happy."
Chen Fan smiled: "Why don't you tell her then? I'll talk to Guo Shuai about it."
"No way. If I tell her, she'll probably refuse immediately."
"She might misunderstand and think I still have other intentions towards her."
Chen Fan laughed, it seemed Brother Jie really didn't have those feelings for Liu Qianqian anymore.
"Alright then. I'll have Guo Shuai contact her about this. He's the most suitable."
After seeing Han Xu off, on the way back to the city, Chen Fan called Feng Pojun.
He assigned him a few tasks.
First, to buy a batch of books suitable for children, covering a wide range of topics.
Also, to buy some envelopes, writing paper, and stamps to send along.
Second, Feng Pojun was to personally go to Shudu to deliver these things.
For the next period of time, Old Feng wouldn't need to come back. He was to stay there until Su Ruochu finished her volunteer teaching, and then bring her back together.
Before leaving, Chen Fan also made a request to Feng Pojun.
That was to select someone from the trained bodyguards to be his full-time driver from now on.
As a big boss, Chen Fan had never had a dedicated driver, and most of the time it was Feng Pojun who had been substituting as the driver.
And Old Feng was the manager of the club's security department, considered part of the leadership.
Although Chen Fan had absolute trust in Feng Pojun, he couldn't keep using him as a driver forever. It wasn't fair to Old Feng, and it was time to promote him.
When he received Chen Fan's call, Feng Pojun was in the club's office.
After hanging up, Feng Pojun was silent for a few seconds.
He understood the meaning behind Chen Fan's words.
The boss was planning to make better use of him.
But to be honest, he didn't have high material demands and preferred to work by the boss's side.
However, the boss seemed to have more considerations, so Feng Pojun had to follow the boss's arrangements.
He thought for a moment, then pulled out a list from the drawer. Looking at the names on it, Feng Pojun fell into deep thought.
The boss had asked him to recommend someone.
This person might very likely become the boss's personal bodyguard and full-time driver in the future.
This represented the boss's great trust in him.
After careful consideration, Feng Pojun finally selected a name from the list.
A day later, Chen Fan received the information about the driver Feng Pojun had recommended. Chen Fan didn't look at it, but placed it on the table instead.
"Tell me about his situation."
Feng Pojun quickly began: "Zhang Shun, 28 years old, a retired soldier."
"His family background is very clean. He has no parents, but he has a girlfriend he's currently dating. He's a local from Yunhai."
"Moreover, Zhang Shun is very low-key in personality, doesn't talk much. Among this batch of trainees, his skills might not be the strongest, but this guy served as a motor transport soldier in the army for a year, so his driving skills are excellent."
Chen Fan didn't ask much more, just nodded.
"Have him come see me this afternoon."
"Alright."
After speaking, Chen Fan picked up his phone and looked at a text message he had just received.
It was from Liu Qianqian.
She had received Guo Shuai's call and agreed to come to Yunhai to work at Jinding Entertainment.
In the message, she thanked Chen Fan and wanted to treat him to a meal to express her gratitude.
Additionally, she once again apologized for what happened that night.
Chen Fan shook his head and sent her a reply.
"Don't overthink it. Just do your best."
