269: Chapter 269 Song Yutong's Shock

It was past three in the afternoon, and Chen Fan was sweating profusely at the gym.

There were only a few people in the equipment area. The air conditioning was on full blast, but he was still soaked in sweat.

He had just finished a set of bench presses and was lying on the equipment to catch his breath when his phone, resting nearby, began to vibrate.

He picked up the phone and saw it was a call from the company receptionist.

"Mr. Chen, there are three people here to see you. They said they're here to film some interview material," the receptionist's voice came through the receiver.

"I know. Have them wait for a moment; I'll arrange for someone to receive them." Chen Fan sat up and wiped the sweat from his face with a towel.

"Very well, Mr. Chen."

After hanging up, Chen Fan scrolled through his contacts and dialed Qiao Linlin's number.

It connected after two rings, and Qiao Linlin's voice came through, "Boss, what's up?"

"The people from our school's media department are here. They said they want to film some interview material. Could you help me receive them?"

"Sure, don't worry, I'll take good care of them."

"Oh, right, the one in charge is a girl named Song Yutong."

"Got it, Boss…"

Chen Fan hung up the phone, placed it back on the bench, and lay back down.

He picked up the dumbbells and continued with his next set.

Meanwhile, at the front desk of Fanyu Technology.

Song Yutong and two boys carrying cameras were waiting in the lounge area next to the front desk.

She held her phone, but her gaze didn't linger on the screen for long; instead, she curiously looked around at the environment.

Is this the company Chen Fan founded?

It looked much more professional than she had imagined back at school.

Even the front desk decor had a certain quality to it; the gray stone countertop, backed by a wall featuring the company logo, gave it the feel of a large corporation.

Just as she was thinking this, the glass door to the side opened automatically, and a beautiful figure in high heels walked out.

She walked up to Song Yutong, looked her over with a smile, and spoke, "You must be Song Yutong, right?"

Song Yutong immediately stood up and nodded, "I am Song Yutong. Hello."

After saying this, she couldn't help but take a few more looks at the girl in front of her.

Unlike her own casual outfit, the woman before her was wearing a small black suit jacket over a white top, paired with matching suit trousers and black high heels.

She stood there looking clean and sharp; she didn't need any extra accessories to look perfectly put together.

Combined with that exceptionally beautiful face, she gave off the vibe of a beautiful secretary stepping right out of a TV drama—refined and capable.

Song Yutong considered herself quite good-looking, but standing in front of this woman, she couldn't help but quietly compare herself in her mind, only to reach a conclusion: there was indeed a gap, and it wasn't a small one.

"Hello, Student Song. I am Mr. Chen's assistant, Qiao Linlin, and I'm in charge of receiving you," Qiao Linlin nodded slightly, her tone natural as she took the lead. "Mr. Chen isn't at the company right now, so he asked me to show you around first."

Song Yutong snapped back to reality and nodded, "Okay, thank you for the trouble."

Qiao Linlin turned slightly and made a gesture of invitation, "Let's go, I'll take you upstairs for a tour first."

The two boys carrying the equipment followed behind them, but their eyes couldn't help but steal glances at Qiao Linlin's graceful figure.

They couldn't help but feel a bit envious of Chen Fan.

With such a beautiful assistant, they didn't believe for a second that Chen Fan, as the boss, hadn't done anything with her.

Once they entered the office area, they realized it was even bigger. There were nearly two hundred workstations, as well as various meeting rooms, lounge areas, dining areas, private offices, and even a gym.

"Is this entire floor your company's?" Song Yutong couldn't help but ask.

"Yes," Qiao Linlin nodded.

Song Yutong's eyes were filled with shock. She hadn't expected Chen Fan's company to be this big—the entire floor belonged to Chen Fan's company.

You have to realize, the seniors at school who were starting businesses were still working in offices converted from classrooms, yet Chen Fan's company already had such a large office. No wonder he could generate hundreds of millions in revenue.

Although they were shocked, they didn't forget why they were there.

After calming down, they began filming the material.

Song Yutong led the two boys through several areas, filming some empty shots of the office environment and footage of employees working, then had the boys film some extra footage of the hallways and corridors.

The whole process went smoother than expected. The employees were very cooperative, and there were no situations that required repeated communication.

Qiao Linlin stayed by their side the whole time, occasionally answering Song Yutong's questions and reminding them if a certain area wasn't suitable for filming at the moment.

An hour later, Song Yutong put down the camera and checked the time, "That's about it. We should have enough material."

She walked over to Qiao Linlin, "Assistant Qiao, thank you for the trouble today. We'll go back and organize the material, and after the final edit is done, we'll send it to Mr. Chen for confirmation."

Qiao Linlin nodded, "Sure, just contact me directly when the time comes."

Song Yutong called the two boys to pack up the equipment, then headed toward the office entrance.

...

Saturday, eight in the morning. Chen Fan finished washing up and went downstairs.

A black Mercedes S300 was already parked at the entrance of the residential complex.

He walked over, opened the back door, and got inside.

This car was provided by the company last month, specifically for his travel.

The driver was named Liu Gang, a military veteran.

The requirement for a military veteran was specifically requested by Chen Fan; after all, soldiers tended to inspire more trust.

"Mr. Chen, heading to the airport?" Liu Gang asked.

"First, go to the Yuehuafu complex to pick someone up."

"Very well, Mr. Chen."

Liu Gang acknowledged, then started the car and drove toward Yuehuafu.

Twenty-some minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Yuehuafu complex, and Chen Fan picked up his phone to send a message to Qiao Linlin.

A few minutes later, Qiao Linlin walked out, pulling a suitcase.

Qiao Linlin was wearing a pure white short-sleeved top with a slightly low neckline, paired with a black sun-protective cardigan, which perfectly accentuated her figure.

On her lower body, she wore light-colored wide-leg pants and a pair of white sneakers. Her hair fell naturally on both sides, making her look both pure and alluring.

Except for the shoes, this entire outfit was produced by Fanti.

Chen Fan had given her a few sets to wear, and to his surprise, Qiao Linlin loved them so much that she stopped wearing the clothes worth thousands of yuan he had bought her, insisting on wearing these instead.

It was no wonder, after all; the designs were more than a decade ahead of the current time, so Qiao Linlin's reaction wasn't strange.

Liu Gang stepped out of the driver's seat, took her suitcase, placed it in the trunk, and closed the lid. He then opened the back door, waited for her to get in, closed it, and returned to the driver's seat.

"Old Liu, let's go to the airport."

"Very well, Mr. Chen."
