Chapter 108: Why Don't You Consider Him?
Fang Ling looked astonished.
"Cousin, how much savings do you need to become a VIP member at your bank?"
"200,000 yuan."
"That's even more impossible."
Fang Ling shook her head.
"Why is it impossible?" Zhou Xiuna frowned.
Fang Ling muttered, "You don't know that when I first met him, he had just finished the college entrance exam. At that time, I remember he went to a computer school to study computer knowledge."
"He even bargained with them over the tuition fee."
Zhou Xiuna suddenly became interested.
"Wait a moment, let me ask for a leave from the manager."
Zhou Xiuna went into the lobby and came out shortly with a bag.
"Let's go."
"What did you come to see me for today?"
"Nothing, I didn't have classes today, so I thought I'd have lunch with you."
"It's almost lunchtime. Why don't we go for a claypot chicken?"
"I don't mind."
The two found a nearby claypot chicken restaurant and each ordered a small pot.
While waiting, Zhou Xiuna poured Fang Ling a glass of orange juice and curiously urged her.
"Tell me in detail about how you two met?"
Fang Ling pouted, "Why are you so interested in him?"
"Just tell me when I ask you to. Why do you have to ramble on?"
Fang Ling rolled her eyes and thought for a moment before speaking.
"During the summer vacation, my laptop broke down, and I couldn't find a repair shop anywhere, so I ended up going to a computer school..."
Fang Ling recounted her chance encounter with Chen Fan from start to finish.
Of course, this included Chen Fan helping her fix her computer and her giving him a repair fee that exceeded the market price.
Zhou Xiuna quickly noticed the contradiction in this girl's description.
"You said he went to the computer school to study? But he was able to easily fix your computer?"
Fang Ling was taken aback, "Oh, yeah, why didn't I realize that back then?"
Zhou Xiuna was speechless.
"Do you really know or not?"
Fang Ling smiled bitterly, "I didn't know him at all back then, so how could I have known?"
"I just remember a female student brought him there, and it seemed like they were going to use a computer. They bargained with the boss for a long time..."
At this point, Fang Ling also curiously asked, "Cousin, are you sure he's a VIP at your bank?"
"Of course I'm sure! I'm the one who processed his VIP membership."
Fang Ling looked puzzled.
"That's impossible. Although we only met for less than twenty minutes, I could tell that Chen Fan's dress was very ordinary, and judging from his speech and demeanor, he didn't seem like a rich second-generation heir at all."
Zhou Xiuna analyzed, "So, his parents aren't wealthy?"
Fang Ling couldn't help but ask, "What are you trying to do?"
Zhou Xiuna's eyes grew brighter.
"In other words, he was still very ordinary during the summer vacation, but in just a few months, he suddenly became wealthy."
"And he did it without relying on his family, purely through his own entrepreneurial abilities."
"Wow, it seems this kid is a true first-generation rich person."
"What are you muttering about?" Fang Ling asked, speechless.
Zhou Xiuna regained her composure and stared at Fang Ling, asking, "Do you know how much he has in savings at our bank?"
Fang Ling immediately became curious, "How much?"
"That's confidential customer information, I can't tell you."
"Are you... deliberately trying to tease me?"
Zhou Xiuna glanced around and leaned in, speaking in a low voice.
"But I can tell you that he comes in to deposit money almost every week."
"Each time, the amount he deposits is around a hundred thousand yuan or more."
This time, it was Fang Ling's turn to be shocked.
"How much did you say?"
"A hundred thousand?"
"Every week?"
"Are you sure?"
Zhou Xiuna nodded, "Of course I'm sure, because Chen Fan always comes to me."
"How is that possible?"
Fang Ling looked stunned, "Where does he get so much money from?"
Zhou Xiuna spoke softly, "I discreetly inquired about it, and it seems he's the boss of the Starry Sky Internet Cafe."
"The Starry Sky Internet Cafe? You mean the one across from our school?"
Fang Ling's eyes widened again, shocked once more.
"Where did he get the money to open an internet cafe?"
"I don't know that."
"I'm just guessing that Chen Fan must have saved up some initial capital during the summer vacation, and then opened the Starry Sky Internet Cafe..."
"If that's truly the case, then this guy's business acumen is quite remarkable."
Seeing Fang Ling in a daze, Zhou Xiuna asked, "Have you been to the Starry Sky Internet Cafe?"
"I have."
"What did you think of it?"
"High-end, top-notch. After experiencing it once, you wouldn't want to go to any other internet cafe."
"I even got a membership card there and deposited 300 yuan."
"After we finish eating, accompany me to take a look at Starry Sky."
"Huh?"
Fang Ling looked astonished, "What do you want to go there for?"
"Just curious."
"Why are you so curious about Chen Fan?"
"You silly girl, I'm trying to find a potential match for you."
"What do you mean?"
Seeing that Fang Ling still didn't get it, Zhou Xiuna rolled her eyes speechlessly.
"It seems I was just talking to myself earlier."
"If our analysis is correct, then this kid is a true first-generation entrepreneurial rich person."
"To be able to open such a large internet cafe and earn so much money in just three to four months... Do you think he's an ordinary mediocre person?"
Fang Ling shook her head instinctively.
"Then isn't he worth considering?"
Zhou Xiuna stared at Fang Ling, "Hasn't the Fang family been pressuring you to find a matchmaker?"
Fang Ling suddenly realized and immediately blushed.
"You mean for me to... with him..."
"Oh, what nonsense are you saying? How old is he? I'm three whole years older than him."
"An older woman marrying a wealthy man."
Zhou Xiuna gave her a expressionless look, glancing downwards.
"Moreover, you're so beautiful, and your figure is so good. Apart from your slightly small chest, you're nearly perfect."
Fang Ling glared at Zhou Xiuna.
"What nonsense are you talking?"
"There's no way between him and me."
"You haven't tried, so how do you know it's impossible?"
Zhou Xiuna joked with a smile, "I'm just making a suggestion."
"Your family has been pressuring you intensely. The Fang family wants to use you to form an alliance through marriage with another powerful family."
"But you don't like any of the matchmaking candidates they've found for you."
"Instead of that, you might as well take the initiative and find someone yourself."
"Whether it's his character, looks, or ability, Chen Fan is perfect. I think he's a great match for you."
"If you can win him over, you might be able to shut up those people in your family."
Fang Ling instinctively wanted to refute her, but she opened her mouth and didn't say anything.
Because she suddenly felt that Zhou Xiuna's seemingly joking suggestion was actually worth trying.
Compared to the potential marriage partners her family had introduced her to, at least Chen Fan was decent-looking and appealing to her eye.
Just like her cousin said, Chen Fan had business acumen and opened such a large internet cafe. He also had savings...
In this aspect alone, he was already far superior to those incompetent wealthy second-generation heirs.
After lunch, the two women went together to the Starry Sky Internet Cafe.
Standing in the lobby, they carefully examined the internet cafe.
Zhou Xiuna murmured to Fang Ling, "Whether it's the decor or the creative concepts, they're at least ten years ahead of other internet cafes in the industry."
"It shows this kid has incredible business acumen."
"Most importantly, he's still a student. Not many people have noticed him yet."
"You know about him before others, so you have a head start."
"Otherwise, once he graduates, do you think there will be a lack of women around him?"
"If you try to get with him at that point, how difficult do you think it will be?"
Fang Ling was silent, her mind in a mess.
Zhou Xiuna looked around and suddenly thought of something.
"Oh, there's another important question."
"Does Chen Fan have a girlfriend?"
Fang Ling froze.
"I... I don't know."
She recalled the beautiful girl who was with Chen Fan the first time they met.
Judging from their interaction, she was probably his girlfriend.
Fang Ling glanced at her cousin and inexplicably changed her words.
"He probably... doesn't have one, right?"
