285: Chapter 285 Couple Games
The car continued driving toward the destination, and after about twenty minutes, it stopped in front of a restaurant called "Yue Lu."
This establishment was tucked away in an old building. The entrance was small, but the interior was a world of its own. It was quite expensive; an average person would easily spend thousands for a meal, but for the current Chen Fan, it was nothing.
After the three of them got out of the car, a waiter led them to a private room, where they sat down by the window.
After ordering, in the gap while waiting for the food, Chen Tong suddenly asked, "Xiao Fan, could you let us visit your company first? We didn't get a chance to see it during the Chinese New Year."
"Which company do you want to visit?" Chen Fan asked.
"What? You have more than one company?" A flash of surprise crossed Chen Tong's eyes.
"Yeah, I've started a gaming company and a clothing company. The one I'm collaborating with Aunt Su on is the clothing company."
"Then how is your gaming company doing?"
"You guys didn't watch my interview video?"
Chen Fan was a bit surprised. His interview video should have been quite popular among college students; it was unlikely that Chen Tong hadn't seen it.
"What interview video?" Chen Tong asked curiously. Beside her, Su Mian also blinked curiously.
"Open Weibo and search for my name, and it will come up," Chen Fan said.
Chen Tong immediately took out her phone, opened Weibo, typed "Chen Fan" into the search box, and hit search.
The page refreshed, and the first result was the interview video from the official Xian Jiao Tong University Weibo account.
She tapped it open. In the video, Chen Fan was sitting on a gray sofa, giving an interview. Chen Tong watched for a few seconds, looked up at Chen Fan, and then lowered her head to continue watching.
Su Mian also leaned over, tilting her head to look at Chen Tong's phone screen. The two of them huddled together and finished watching the few-minute video.
After finishing the video, Chen Tong looked up at Chen Fan in disbelief.
After a long while, she finally spoke: "Has your gaming company really exceeded a monthly revenue of one hundred million?"
"It's true." Chen Fan nodded.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tong was stunned for a few seconds, seemingly digesting the news.
After coming to her senses, she said excitedly: "You rascal, Chen Fan, you've become a billionaire, yet you only pay your sister a salary of ten thousand?"
Chen Fan explained: "Sis, it's not that I don't want to pay you more, it's just that you've just joined the company. Once you've been here for a while, I'll give you a raise."
This was Chen Fan's genuine thought. Since Chen Tong had just joined the company, it wasn't good to set the salary too high; ten thousand was about right. Although he couldn't set the base salary too high, he could offer bonuses. As for how much those bonuses would be, wasn't that up to Chen Fan?
In his previous life, Chen Tong had always treated him very well. Although she was his cousin, she was like a real sister to him. Now that Chen Fan had become successful in this life, how could he treat her poorly?
Chen Tong looked at him and suddenly smiled: "Alright, I'm just joking with you. Do you think your sister is really someone who doesn't know what's good for her? I'm just surprised that the little brother who used to follow behind me has now become so successful."
"Alright, Sis, stop being so sentimental, it's cringey," Chen Fan said, pretending to be disgusted.
Chen Tong, who had been smiling, furrowed her brows after seeing Chen Fan's reaction. "Chen Fan, are you asking for a beating?"
As she spoke, she made a move to stand up, but before her bottom could even leave the chair, she burst into laughter and sat back down. "Considering you're treating me to a meal, I'll let you off the hook today."
Su Mian watched the siblings bickering from the side, a smile involuntarily appearing on her face.
After finishing the meal, Chen Tong suggested going shopping.
Thus, the group headed to the busiest pedestrian street in Chang'an.
After arriving at the mall, as they were about to go up to the second floor, they noticed that the center of the first floor was crowded with people, as if some event was taking place.
Chen Tong, who loved joining in the excitement, immediately pulled the two of them forward. After squeezing into the crowd, they discovered a small stage set up in the middle, where a female host was holding a microphone and explaining the rules of a game.
The game was a couple's game where a man and a woman teamed up. The man had to carry the woman in a bridal style, and the one who could hold on the longest would be the champion. The prize was a giant plush toy.
After the host finished the introduction, many people in the crowd began to feel eager to try.
A flash of interest crossed Chen Tong's eyes. She turned to look at Chen Fan and Su Mian, and an idea instantly struck her. She tugged on Chen Fan's sleeve and pulled Su Mian's wrist, lowering her voice to say, "You two should go sign up."
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment: "The two of us?"
"Yeah, you two can participate in the competition as a couple. It's not like you can do it with me, right?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan glanced at Su Mian, who was beside him looking shy, and felt a stir of excitement in his heart.
He already had feelings for Su Mian, and since Chen Tong had made this request, Chen Fan naturally wouldn't refuse.
Now it just depended on whether Su Mian would agree.
Thinking of this, he looked at Su Mian and said, "Sister Su Mian, how about we give it a try?"
Chen Tong also assisted from the side, using both hands to push the two of them forward: "Go on, go on! If you wait, the spots will be gone."
Now, Su Mian really couldn't refuse and had no choice but to follow Chen Fan toward the open space.
At this moment, only two couples were participating on the open space, and with Chen Fan and Su Mian, that made it three pairs.
Seeing this, the host picked up the microphone and asked if any other couples wanted to sign up. Finally, after five or six minutes, three more couples came to participate.
A total of six couples were participating in the competition. As the six pairs stood on the stage, Chen Fan and Su Mian were the most eye-catching pair.
Chen Fan was tall and handsome, while Su Mian was beautiful, with a figure that was absolutely superb.
As the two stood on the stage, not only did the people around look at them, but the couples participating alongside them also focused their gazes on them.
However, the men's gazes were drifting toward Su Mian, while the women's gazes were fixed on Chen Fan.
When the men looked at Chen Fan, their eyes were full of envy, and when the women looked at Su Mian, most were filled with jealousy. It was hard to tell if they were jealous because Su Mian was beautiful, or because her boyfriend standing next to her was handsome.
The host scanned the participating men and women, her gaze pausing for a moment on Chen Fan and Su Mian, and said with a smile: "It seems that the quality of our contestants today is very high."
A burst of laughter came from the surrounding crowd.
