284: Chapter 284 How about coming to work at my company?
After arranging tasks for Li Nan, Chen Fan stayed at the company for a while. Suddenly remembering something, he grabbed his car keys, left the office, and drove straight to Changan University of Arts and Sciences.
Chen Tong's semester had just ended yesterday, and she was about to start her internship, but she hadn't found a placement yet.
However, Chen Tong wasn't worried. With her brother Chen Fan running a company, would she ever be short of an internship?
Parking the car at the entrance of the university, Chen Fan pulled out his phone and called Chen Tong.
"Hello, Chen Fan."
"Sis, are you in the dorm?"
"I am, what's up?"
"I'm at your school gate."
"Why are you here?" Chen Tong's voice was filled with surprise. "Aren't you busy with company matters?"
"Your junior year just finished, so I came to visit you and treat you to a meal."
"Sure! Can I bring someone along?"
"Who?"
"Just Su Mian."
Hearing Chen Tong mention Su Mian, Chen Fan's mind instantly conjured up that cute image of her when she had sprained her ankle and said she only weighed 95 jin. A smile involuntarily spread across his face.
He snapped back to reality. "Sure, come together then."
"Alright, we'll be right there!" Chen Tong hung up.
After hanging up, Chen Fan waited for about ten minutes until the two figures appeared at the school gate.
Chen Fan immediately opened the car door, got out, and walked toward them.
As he got closer, a flash of admiration crossed Chen Fan's eyes.
It wasn't because of Chen Tong; after all, she was his cousin. Even if she looked like Xi Shi, in his eyes, she was just a woman.
What stunned Chen Fan was Su Mian, who was standing beside her.
In the past, whenever he saw Su Mian, although she was beautiful and had a great figure, she rarely dressed up and mostly wore casual clothes.
But today, Su Mian had actually dressed up, changing into a style of clothing he hadn't seen her in before.
She was wearing a white, form-fitting short-sleeved top, paired with a grey pleated mini-skirt, flesh-colored pantyhose, and white sneakers.
Su Mian's figure was already rule-breaking; her chest, which far exceeded that of her peers, strained the short-sleeved top to the point of almost bursting, which was extremely eye-catching.
Below the skirt were straight, slender legs—not the stick-thin kind, but shapely and slightly fleshy legs, wrapped in pantyhose that shimmered with a soft luster in the afternoon sun.
"Sis, Su Mian." Chen Fan greeted them.
Chen Tong patted Chen Fan on the shoulder. "My brother is looking handsome again."
Su Mian stood to the side and smiled at Chen Fan as a greeting.
Chen Fan didn't mind; that was just Su Mian's personality.
"Get in the car, it's too hot out here." July was the hottest time of the year in Changan. Although Chen Fan didn't mind the heat, the two girls certainly would.
He opened the door, and Chen Tong sat in the passenger seat. Su Mian opened the back door, bent down to sit inside, and closed the door.
Chen Fan got into the driver's seat and started the car. "Sis, what do you want to eat?"
"Whatever," Chen Tong said. "See what Su Mian wants to eat."
"I'm fine with anything too," Su Mian's voice came from the backseat.
Chen Fan shook his head and decided to choose himself.
As the car drove along, Chen Fan was curious why only the two of them from Chen Tong's four-person dorm had come.
So he asked, "Sis, is it just you and Su Mian in your dorm right now?"
"Yeah," Chen Tong leaned back against the seat. "Yumeng and Zhao Ran have already found internship placements, but the salary was too low, so I didn't go."
"What about Su Mian?" Chen Fan asked again.
Before Su Mian could speak, Chen Tong chimed in. "I'm the one who dragged Su Mian away from going. The salary was too low; it's not even as good as working at Su Mian's own family factory."
Chen Fan thought that made sense. Su Jingqiu's factory now had orders from his company and was constantly expanding.
If Chen Fan's company continued to develop and Su Jingqiu's partnership with Chen Fan remained unbroken, there would be no problem with Su Mian becoming a wealthy second-generation heiress in the future.
However, he could consider having his cousin and Su Mian work at his company. One was his cousin, the other was his cousin's best friend—supporting both of them was absolutely no problem.
Thinking of this, he said, "Why don't you two come work at my company?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Tong asked, "How much are you planning to pay me?"
Chen Fan blurted out, "10,000 a month. You in?"
Chen Tong's eyes lit up. "Sure!" Just after saying that, she seemed to remember something and said with some embarrassment, "Didn't I say I wanted to go look at companies outside first, and if I really couldn't find anything suitable, I'd go to your place?"
Hearing Chen Tong's words, Chen Fan chuckled.
He knew Chen Tong wasn't embarrassed about working at his company, but rather, during the Chinese New Year, she had confidently declared she wouldn't go to his company first and wanted to look elsewhere. So now that Chen Fan was asking her to join, she felt a bit awkward.
"Sis, don't tell me you got discouraged by the companies out there."
Hearing this, Chen Tong immediately got fired up. "You have no idea. The internship companies at our campus job fair—the salaries were lower than the next. Some were even 800 a month, and the HR staff still had an indifferent attitude. It just makes me angry looking at them."
"That's how companies are outside now. Except for big companies, which might have better benefits, but those big companies only want 985 or 211 students. So, you should just come work at my company."
With Chen Fan putting it that way, Chen Tong stopped hesitating. "Alright, I'll listen to you."
"What about you, Su Mian?" Chen Fan asked, turning to her.
"Huh?" Su Mian was stunned.
Chen Tong, who was beside her, got anxious and immediately spoke up. "My brother is asking if you want to work at his company. The salary is 10,000 a month."
Su Mian only then reacted and shook her head. "No, that salary is too high."
Chen Fan persuaded her, "Su Mian, the salaries I pay my employees are higher than companies outside. 10,000 is normal."
He wasn't telling the truth. While Fanti's salary standard was indeed higher than its competitors, it was impossible to pay an intern 10,000.
The reason Chen Fan wanted to persuade Su Mian to join his company was, on one hand, because Su Jingqiu was now a supply chain partner. On the other hand, Chen Fan had designs on this girl—frankly speaking, he coveted her body—which was why he wanted her to work at his company.
"Exactly, Mianmian, who complains about a salary being too high?" Chen Tong chimed in from the side.
Su Mian still shook her head. Her reactions were sometimes a beat slow, but she wasn't stupid.
She knew that in Changan, an intern from a 211 university getting 5,000 would be considered decent. For someone like her from a second-tier university, being lucky meant getting 2,000 or 3,000 as an intern.
She was different from Chen Tong. Chen Tong was Chen Fan's sister and could accept that 10,000 with peace of mind, but she couldn't.
Seeing Su Mian refuse, Chen Fan felt a bit helpless—there really were people who complained about high salaries.
After thinking for a moment, he changed his approach. "How about this, Su Mian. You come to my company, and I'll pay you a normal salary, alright? Plus, Aunt Su's factory is now our company's contract manufacturer. If you're at the company, we can strengthen our cooperation."
This time, Su Mian didn't refuse. She was silent for a few seconds, then nodded. "Alright then, thank you, Xiaofan."
Chen Tong laughed from the side and patted Su Mian on the shoulder. "That settles it! We sisters will work together and earn all the money from my brother, this capitalist."
Su Mian smiled and didn't say anything.
