Chapter 70: Can I Have a Chat with Your Boss?
Poof!
Li Jiao couldn't help but laugh.
Whereas Liu Qianqian was huffing angrily as she glared at Chen Fan, moving to sit on the other side.
She kept looking down secretly to observe her chest from time to time.
The more she looked, the more depressed she became.
It seemed that Chen Fan's words had provoked her quite a bit.
Han Xu had no tact and wanted to join her, but was immediately given the cold shoulder.
Li Jiao looked at Chen Fan with a smile.
"Your words were too harsh just now."
Chen Fan shrugged.
"Apologize to her for me on the way back, and say it was just a joke."
Li Jiao stared at Chen Fan with a smile.
"Why don't you apologize yourself?"
Chen Fan shook his head.
"How can a real man apologize casually?"
"Besides, I didn't say anything wrong."
Li Jiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You're quite interesting."
On the other side, Wu Di went on stage first and sang a song called 'Fairy Tale' before finally getting off the stage.
Ma Xiaoshuai went on stage and picked a song called 'Dusk'.
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone let out a collective exclamation of surprise.
They didn't expect Ma Xiaoshuai to be such a good singer. This guy had a really nice voice, and it was obvious that he had practiced singing.
The song he sang had a great flavor to it.
Seeing this, Chen Fan let out a sigh.
He knew that in this round of pursuing Song Linlin, Ma Xiaoshuai had won a point.
The second brother Luo Wenjie probably had no chance.
Then he looked at the other people.
Wu Di and Su Qing were sitting in the corner chatting, and it was hard to tell what was going on between them for now.
Han Xu was a typical hothead who got bored quickly, and he didn't match with Liu Qianqian at all, so they definitely wouldn't end up together.
As for Sun Hao, since everyone knew he had a long-distance girlfriend, it made people feel more at ease. As a result, Sun Hao was surrounded by Sun Min and Lu Wei, the two girls chatting with him.
This guy had quietly become the biggest winner instead.
Afterwards, everyone took turns going on stage to sing a few songs.
When it was Chen Fan's turn, he made an excuse that his voice wasn't good and didn't want to go on stage.
But the others didn't agree.
In the end, Chen Fan really couldn't avoid it and had to reluctantly take the microphone and stand up.
"What do you want to sing? Let me pick for you," Lu Wei asked with a smile.
Chen Fan scanned the screen and was surprised to find that it had 'Absolute Obsession'.
"Let's go with this one."
Chen Fan selected 'Absolute Obsession', then took a moment to prepare before slowly opening his mouth.
As soon as he started singing, a few girls let out exclamations of "Oh..." in pleasant surprise.
Compared to Ma Xiaoshuai's casual and bright voice, Chen Fan's voice was much deeper and husky.
Compared to the original singer, Chen Fan's rendition made this song seem more full of story.
After the song finished, the few girls excitedly applauded.
"Sing another one!"
The girls cheered.
But Chen Fan just smiled and walked back.
"I didn't expect you to be such a good singer," Li Jiao said with a smile as she looked at Chen Fan.
"Just average," Chen Fan said calmly.
"I think you sing better than the original singer."
"Thanks."
That night, when they returned to the dorm, the few girls lay on their beds chatting.
"Su Qing, what's the situation between you and Wu Di? Have you decided to accept his pursuit?"
Su Qing hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "I want to think about it some more."
"What about our youngest Linlin? You're the luckiest one, being pursued by two guys."
Song Linlin felt a bit embarrassed.
But it was Lu Wei sleeping next to her who teased with a smile, "I know. Linlin likes that Ma Xiaoshuai."
At this point, Liu Qianqian chimed in.
"I also think Ma Xiaoshuai is not bad. That Luo Wenjie gives off too much of a frivolous vibe."
"Qianqian, don't talk about others. What about you?"
"Me?"
Liu Qianqian shook her head with a smile.
"That Han Xu is not my type at all."
Then Sun Min joked, "I've seen you constantly bickering with that Chen Fan. Could it be that you actually like Chen Fan?"
"Him?"
Liu Qianqian hesitated for a moment.
"He does look quite handsome, but his attitude is a bit off-putting."
"But he sings really well."
"What's the use of singing well? Having money is what matters."
At this point, Li Jiao joked with a smile, "Your standards are really high."
"If you don't like him, then I won't hold back."
"Ah? Jiao, you like Chen Fan?"
All of a sudden, everyone became interested.
Li Jiao didn't hide it and said with a smile, "He's handsome, sings well, and has quite a personality. I wouldn't mind trying to date him."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qianqian became unwilling.
"Who said I don't like him? I haven't made up my mind yet."
This conversation made the whole dorm room laugh.
"I think you two should just fight it out first."
At this point, Su Qing suddenly spoke up.
"That Chen Fan seems to have a girlfriend already. His girlfriend is a new student from the same major."
"Oh right, I almost forgot about that."
Liu Qianqian joked with a smile, "So what if he has a girlfriend? They're not married yet."
"It's every woman for herself..."
"Ay, you're shameless..."
"Hehe, I think you have the potential to be a mistress in the future..."
...
Because he was out of money,
The renovations for the internet cafe had come to a halt.
These days, Chen Fan was feeling very anxious every day.
If the work didn't continue, he was afraid he wouldn't even be able to pay the workers' wages.
Did he have to go sell songs again?
At this rate, he would have to sell at least two more songs...
Just as Chen Fan was hesitating about whether to continue selling songs,
Ma Mingde called and asked to meet up.
They agreed on a location, and Chen Fan took a taxi by himself to the meeting spot.
The meeting place was a tea house.
After meeting, they shook hands and sat down.
Both parties understood that this was probably their last meeting.
Over the past half month, they had met four times in total.
But each time, there was no substantial progress made.
The main reason was that Chen Fan's conditions were too harsh, to the point where Ma Mingde felt like he had nowhere to negotiate.
Today's meeting, both parties understood,
This was probably the last time they would talk.
Whether it succeeded or not would likely depend on this meeting.
"Mr. Chen, we both understand each other quite well now. So I won't beat around the bush with you," Ma Mingde said directly as soon as they sat down.
"Our company held another meeting."
"I can tell you the company's decision directly."
"3 million."
"As long as you agree, we can sign the contract right now."
Upon hearing this price,
Chen Fan hesitated a bit.
To be honest, 3 million wasn't a low price.
But deep down, he still felt a bit unsatisfied.
He didn't know how much the previous life's Yiyu.com had sold for exactly.
But Chen Fan estimated that it was at least not less than 1 million.
And that was for a brand new website that had only been established for one or two months.
But in this life, he had already destroyed Yiyu.com himself.
And no matter which aspect you looked at it, his Yuming.com was completely different from the previous life's Yiyu.com.
If he sold it at the same price as the previous life, that would really be selling himself short.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan looked at Ma Mingde.
"Can't you increase it any further?"
Ma Mingde shook his head.
"This is already the bottom line that the company told me."
"If you don't agree, then I can only apologize."
"I've already bought my plane ticket and will be leaving Yunhai later."
Chen Fan thought for a moment, then suddenly said,
"Can you call your boss? I want to chat with him for a bit."
Ma Mingde was stunned, clearly surprised by Chen Fan's request.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "It's just a couple of words, it won't affect your judgment, right?"
Ma Mingde stared deeply at Chen Fan, then stood up and went to the next private room to make a call.
After a while, he came back with the phone.
"Our boss agreed."
Chen Fan stood up, took the phone, and went into the next private room.
