"Congratulations, ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍you're going to be a movie queen now."

"Just ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍a company celebration party? What about you? Don't you, the big boss, have anything to offer?"

"Of course I do. I'll give you a big red envelope then."

"What else?"

"Treat you to dinner."

"That's more like it."

"Hey Boss Chen, who are you chatting with? Your smile is reaching your ears."

Luo Wenjie came out from beside him, happened to see this scene, and couldn't help but tease.

Chen Fan put away his phone and seriously looked up at the house in front of him.

"How is it? How does Xiaoshuai plan to decorate?"

The renovation of Ma Xiaoshuai's restaurant was nearing completion, expected to open next month.

The place where the three drove to today was Ma Xiaoshuai's newly bought house.

Ma Xiaoshuai called Chen Fan and Luo Wenjie over to consult about the renovation.

128 square meters, three bedrooms, two living rooms, and one bathroom. With windows facing both north and south, the sense of space was decent, not looking cramped or oppressive.

Ma Xiaoshuai just came out after washing his face, and Luo Wenjie, with a cigarette in his mouth, joked:

"Hey, why didn't you just buy a villa? You're not short on money, are you?"

Ma Xiaoshuai immediately cursed: "Get lost. I'm going crazy from lacking money right now."

"Most of the family savings were given by my mom for my business."

"Then spent more money to buy this house. As a son, I can't let my family pay for everything, I need to leave some money for my mom's retirement."

Ma Xiaoshuai felt embarrassed about having his family pay for his marriage.

"How much is this house?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.

"4,000 per square meter, about 500,000 in total."

"With the renovation and furniture later, it'll go straight to 600,000-700,000."

Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head somewhat depressed.

"Old Chen, I really admire you. You bought your house years ago."

"This house was only 2,000 per square meter when I bought it last year, but now it's risen to 4,000 this year. That's too dramatic."

"Honestly, if Song Linlin hadn't insisted on buying it, I would rather rent a place to get married."

Chen Fan smiled and patted his shoulder.

"Come on, stop complaining. In my opinion, Song Linlin has much better business sense than you."

"Buying this house now, you won't lose out."

"What do you mean?" Ma Xiaoshuai stared at Chen Fan: "Are you saying the house prices will continue to rise?"

Chen Fan nodded with a smile: "Definitely."

"Really? Yunhai is at most a second-tier city, can house prices still rise from 4,000?"

Chen Fan wanted to laugh. Wonder what you two will feel when Yunhai's house prices rise to 10,000 in a few years.

"This house's layout and design are very good, suitable for you two as a newlywed home."

"Live here for a few years, and when you have kids, you can change to a bigger one. Sell this one then, it'll at least double in value."

"Damn! Really?"

Even Luo Wenjie widened his eyes, feeling incredulous.

"Are you serious?"

"Should I buy one now too, no, should I buy several and hold onto them, then sell when prices are high? Wouldn't that make a huge profit?"

Chen Fan really appreciated this point, his mind was flexible. He could quickly draw inferences.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"

Chen Fan nodded: "That's right! If you have money, you can definitely do that, sell after 5-6 years, and you absolutely won't lose money."

Ma Xiaoshuai teased from the side: "Looks like Brother Jie has made quite a bit these past two years."

"Made my ass! All money is invested in the bathhouse."

Though he said this, Brother Jie's mind was already turning, wondering whether he should listen to Chen Fan and buy several houses now to hold onto.

Chen Fan walked around the house once, turned to ask Ma Xiaoshuai.

"How do you plan to decorate?"

Ma Xiaoshuai smiled bitterly: "How would I have any say in this? It'll depend on what Linlin says."

"But we discussed that everything should be simple decoration, spend less money, as long as it's comfortable to live in."

"I've agreed with my mom that the renovation and furniture money will be covered by me and Song Linlin."

Chen Fan smiled: "This is your marital home. Since you're renovating, you should do it properly, make it beautiful, so the bride's family won't have thoughts."

Ma Xiaoshuai smiled bitterly: "Beautiful decoration needs money. You know my restaurant is still a money pit now. Pouring in lots of money every day..."

Chen Fan waved his hand: "If you're short on renovation money, I can lend it to you. As for the furniture, don't worry about it, I'll cover it when the time comes, consider it my wedding gift to you two."

Ma Xiaoshuai felt a bit embarrassed, "How can I take your money."

Chen Fan put his arm around his shoulder: "We're brothers, for your wedding, I need to give a gift anyway, besides, I'm not short on this bit of money."

"Damn. Rich people's words are really choking."

Luo Wenjie came over with a smile from the side.

"Brother Fan, will you give me the same when I get married?"

Chen Fan nodded: "Sure. If you and your girlfriend can get married this year, I'll also give you a complete set of furniture."

Brother Jie immediately shook his head.

"Forget it then. I still want to play around for a couple more years while I'm young. You think everyone's like Xiaoshuai, wanting to enter the marriage grave so early?"

Ma Xiaoshuai gave him the middle finger, "Can't communicate at all with someone like you."

Chen Fan then asked: "How's it going with your girlfriend? Still dating?"

"Yeah, still dating."

"What do you think of her?"

"Just okay, she's alright."

"If she's alright, why don't you consider it? After all, you've been dating for over a year. The girl's youth isn't worthless."

Luo Wenjie smiled bitterly: "Why do you sound just like my mom?"

"When are you getting married? I'll wait until after your wedding to get married."

Chen Fan smiled: "I'll be quick, once my girlfriend graduates, we'll start considering marriage."

Luo Wenjie immediately scratched his head speechlessly.

"I shouldn't have come, there's nothing to talk about with you two who are so keen on marriage."

Ma Xiaoshuai cursed with a laugh: "Ignore him, wait until the day his girlfriend dumps him, then he'll know the pain."

"Hey, in this life, I only dump others, which woman dares to dump me?"

Chen Fan shook his head with a smile, too lazy to say more about Brother Jie's frivolous attitude towards love.

...

At the end of April, after nearly a month of interview screening, Mo Siyu handed Chen Fan a list.

On it were new employees she personally interviewed and selected, who would become the embryonic form of her variety show team in the future.

Chen Fan sat in the office reviewing the list, about one-third of the members were selected from Feifan Media's employees, and the remaining majority were poached from various TV stations.

Since he had delegated authority to Mo Siyu, Chen Fan naturally wouldn't interfere too much in personnel selection.

Just as he was about to nod in agreement, Chen Fan turned to the last page and saw a familiar name.

"Yang Shuting?"

Chen Fan was stunned.

Yang Shuting?

A same name?
