70: Chapter 70: Why use such a cheap phone?

Chen Fan took out his keys and unlocked the car with a beep, causing the Porsche's headlights to flash twice.

Qiao Linlin stood where she was, stunned.

"Por... Porsche?"

She subconsciously swallowed. Although she didn't know much about cars, she had enough common sense to know that Porsches were generally worth over a million yuan.

Her own boss was driving a car worth over a million.

She subconsciously glanced at Chen Fan again; he was young, tall, handsome, rich, a boss, and spoke fluent English.

A thought suddenly popped into her head: Wasn't this just like the overbearing CEOs in novels?

But upon closer reflection, her boss didn't seem very overbearing; he actually spoke quite kindly.

"Why are you just standing there? Get in."

Seeing Qiao Linlin suddenly freeze in front of the car, Chen Fan had to remind her.

"Oh, oh, okay."

Qiao Linlin snapped out of it, hurried to the passenger side, opened the door, and got in.

There was a faint scent of leather in the cabin, and the interior was cleaner than any car she had ever ridden in.

After sitting down, she subconsciously touched the edge of the seat, her movements very light, as if she were afraid of leaving fingerprints.

She stole another glance at Chen Fan.

Qiao Linlin withdrew her gaze and quickly fastened her seatbelt.

Ten-plus minutes later, the car stopped in front of a restaurant called Tanghua Le Fu.

Chen Fan had never been here before, but the decor looked decent from the outside, and it was advertised as serving Shaanxi and Cantonese cuisine.

After parking the car.

The two of them got out of the car.

A young couple walked by, first glancing at the Porsche, then at the two people who had stepped out of it, both showing envious looks.

The man envied Chen Fan for driving a Porsche and being with a beautiful woman, while the woman envied Qiao Linlin for having a rich and handsome boyfriend.

Little did they know, the two were boss and employee.

After entering the restaurant, Chen Fan took a look around. The overall layout was quite nice—not luxurious, but clean and bright, giving a comfortable feeling.

The two found an empty seat and sat down, and a waiter immediately walked over with a menu.

"Hello, what would you like to eat?"

Chen Fan took the menu and started ordering directly.

"I'll have the steamed pork ribs, and the stuffed tofu... for vegetables, let's have the garlic water spinach, and also the eggplant clay pot. For soup, bring the pork tripe soup."

He looked up at Qiao Linlin: "What would you like to drink? Aloe juice or orange juice?"

Qiao Linlin: "Orange juice is fine."

Chen Fan: "Two orange juices."

After finishing, he closed the menu and handed it to the waiter: "That's all, and a small pot of rice."

After ordering, Qiao Linlin couldn't help but speak up: "Boss Chen, isn't that too much? How can the two of us finish all that?"

"Don't worry, we'll finish it."

After Chen Fan said this, he took out his phone and started playing with it.

Qiao Linlin glanced at the phone Chen Fan had placed on the table. A hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but ask: "Boss Chen, are you using a Nokia E63?"

Chen Fan looked up at her upon hearing this: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Qiao Linlin blinked in surprise: "I remember this phone costing less than 2,000 yuan. Boss Chen, you're driving a Porsche, so why are you using such a cheap phone?"

"This is the phone I used in high school; I haven't had the chance to replace it yet."

"Ah? So, Boss Chen, are you still in college?"

"I just finished the college entrance exam during summer break; I'll be a freshman when school starts."

Qiao Linlin fell completely silent.

She had originally thought that even if Chen Fan were young, he would at least be in his early 20s. She hadn't expected him to have just graduated from high school.

She couldn't help but calculate in her heart.

Just finished the college entrance exam, nineteen years old, runs a company, Porsche, Chang'an Jiaotong University...

Each point alone was enough to be staggering, but together, it made one not know which to be surprised by first.

However, what exactly did her boss's family do? To be able to pull out 1 million to start a company and spend over 1 million on a car right after graduating from high school.

"Boss Chen, which university did you get into?"

Chen Fan looked at her, his tone flat: "Chang'an Jiaotong University."

He had received a call from his family a few days ago, saying that the acceptance letter from Jiao Tong University had arrived at home, and they asked Chen Fan to find time to come back and pick it up.

"Chang'an Jiaotong University?"

Qiao Linlin's eyes widened, and her voice involuntarily raised a few decibels.

"Boss Chen, you are too amazing! You started a company so young, and you're also an academic elite!"

Her eyes were bright, her tone filled with undisguised admiration. She leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand, just looking at Chen Fan like that.

Chen Fan's action of picking up vegetables paused, and he coughed unnaturally.

It's hard not to feel anything when a pretty girl looks at you with that kind of gaze.

Qiao Linlin saw it, and a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Just then, the waiter began serving the food.

Chen Fan quickly said: "Alright, the food is all here, let's eat."

After saying this, Chen Fan picked up his chopsticks and directly grabbed a piece of pork rib.

Seeing this, Qiao Linlin also began to eat.

The meal lasted nearly an hour and was finally coming to an end.

Qiao Linlin gained an additional impression of her boss: he had a big appetite.

For the meal, 3/4 of the food had gone into Chen Fan's stomach.

She glanced at Chen Fan. Although her boss could eat a lot, his figure didn't look fat at all; on the contrary, he was very fit.

Did he have muscles under his clothes? Was that why he ate so much because he worked out?

"Are you done eating?"

Chen Fan's words interrupted her thoughts.

"I'm done." Qiao Linlin nodded.

The two walked out of the restaurant, and Qiao Linlin was just about to say goodbye to Chen Fan.

But she heard Chen Fan say: "Where do you live?"

"Near our school, the Foreign Studies University area."

"How are you getting back?"

Qiao Linlin answered subconsciously: "By bus, I guess."

Chen Fan took out his car keys and pressed a button; the Porsche not far away flashed its lights.

"It's not far from here. Get in, I'll give you a ride since it's on the way."

Qiao Linlin was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to decline, but the words took a turn: "...Okay, then thank you, Boss Chen."

Chen Fan didn't say much, just nodded: "Let's go."

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the entrance of a residential complex near the Foreign Studies University.

Qiao Linlin unfastened her seatbelt, opened the car door, stepped out with one foot, then turned back and smiled at Chen Fan: "Boss Chen, I'm going in~"

Chen Fan nodded.

Watching her walk into the complex.

Chen Fan started the car and drove away from the Foreign Studies University.

The next morning, a little after nine.

When Chen Fan arrived at the company, Qiao Linlin and Zhou Min were already waiting.

Zhou Min was a woman in her thirties, with an average appearance, ear-length short hair, dressed simply, and looked like someone who was reliable and hardworking.

Seeing Chen Fan arrive, both stood up to greet him.

"Good morning, Boss Chen."

"Morning."

Chen Fan responded politely.

His gaze, however, involuntarily fell on Qiao Linlin.

Today, Qiao Linlin wore a light gray knit top, with delicate ruffled edges on the collar and cuffs.

On her legs was a white lace-trimmed skirt with a slit design, and she wore a pair of white mid-heeled shoes.

She looked even purer than she did during the interview yesterday.

Chen Fan glanced at her, then quickly looked away.

"Linlin, take the company's documents and go to the telecom office to set up a 10M enterprise broadband connection; let's solve the network issue first."

"Alright."

Qiao Linlin replied, took the documents Chen Fan handed over, and turned to walk out.

Chen Fan withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Zhou Min.

"Sister Zhou, today, please first organize the company's job requirements; I'll go over the recruitment plan with you in a bit."

Zhou Min nodded: "Alright, Boss Chen."
