"Brother Huai'an, Brother Zhong, do you still have that much money now?"
Hearing Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao's words, Qin Chuan did not answer directly but retorted.
"I remember your mall is also about to start construction. This requires a huge amount of money."
"We don't have money in hand, but we have it at home."
"As long as we speak, my parents, and many friends, will surely be able to raise a large sum of money."
Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao said one after another.
Qin Chuan thought for a moment and shook his head: "Let's not. Just focus on getting that mall done. My factory doesn't lack funds for the time being, and the shares have already been distributed. It's not appropriate to do this now."
Seeing that Qin Chuan did not agree, Ye Huai'an and Zhong Dongyao both showed regret. They had long been convinced of Qin Chuan's business acumen and really wanted to ride this express ship to achieve their dreams.
But it seemed they were a step late and could only wait for the next opportunity.
"By the way, Qin Chuan, are you in touch with that Fan Binbin?"
Suddenly, Zhong Dongyao seemed to think of something and asked.
"Fan Binbin?"
Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "We are in occasional contact. What's wrong?"
Since seeing Fan Binbin in the capital around the end of last year, Qin Chuan had not seen that girl again.
Occasionally, they would call and text each other to maintain their friendship.
However, they had not been in contact for a long time recently, as both Qin Chuan and Fan Binbin seemed very busy.
"Qin Chuan, you don't know, ever since your advertisement aired last year, this Fan Binbin has completely become popular with her pure and innocent campus goddess image!"
"She's hailed as the spokesperson for the contemporary 'Jade Girl faction,' and her popularity has even surpassed Zhao Weiwei and Lin Xinru."
"Many advertisers, TV shows, and movies are looking for her."
Zhong Dongyao said.
"Even my old man offered an annual salary of three million yuan to poach her, but he hasn't succeeded yet."
Qin Chuan was truly surprised this time, not expecting Fan Binbin to be so popular now.
In this era, an annual salary of three million yuan was not a small amount; it was almost equivalent to the price of a top-tier star. He couldn't believe Fan Binbin's value had changed so much in less than a year.
He remembered that when he hired the three golden flowers to shoot commercials, each of them was only worth a mere one or two hundred thousand yuan.
Now, someone was offering an annual salary of three million yuan and still couldn't poach her.
"Speaking of which, the biggest contributor to Fan Binbin's fame is definitely you."
"If it weren't for you back then, who would have hired someone to play a maid role? And no one expected that Fan Binbin, with just a change of makeup and clothes, would be so beautiful. She's the kind of person who can captivate anyone, young or old, making one's heart pound uncontrollably."
Zhong Dongyao sighed with emotion.
Qin Chuan smiled: "I rarely pay attention to the entertainment industry, TV shows, or movies, so I really haven't noticed how popular Fan Binbin is now. I'll ask her when I have time."
At this moment, Fang Rumei, who had been listening, asked curiously, "Is this Fan Binbin you're talking about a big star?"
She also paid little attention to the entertainment industry, focusing all her energy on business.
"Yes, she's a newcomer to the industry. You could say that her popularity is entirely thanks to Qin Chuan."
Zhong Dongyao explained, then, as if thinking of something, he smiled and said to Qin Chuan, "Qin Chuan, I think your eyes are truly sharp. Whether it's in business or in judging people, you're outstanding!"
"If you have the energy in the future, you can invest in an entertainment company for fun. With your vision, you'll definitely be able to discover many treasures."
"Haha!!"
Qin Chuan burst into laughter: "I have no interest in the entertainment industry. That was just a coincidence."
"Has everyone eaten enough? If so, aren't we still going to sing karaoke?"
"Let's go!"
"Let's go sing!"
The four of them left the restaurant and headed straight to the reserved karaoke bar, playing until past one o'clock in the morning before they finished.
The next day, Qin Chuan and Fang Rumei drove to Longcheng together.
The laboratory matters in Beijing had temporarily come to a halt. The focus would now be on the factory in Longcheng, as the CPU research and development there had already been successful, and the next step was mass production.
And this production process had to be tightly controlled to prevent any accidents, otherwise, the losses would be too great.
It was absolutely impossible for Fang Rumei to handle it alone; Qin Chuan also had to help, ensuring strict quality control at every step.
After returning to Longcheng, Qin Chuan and Fang Rumei naturally had to meet Teacher Yang first.
In a coffee shop, Qin Chuan met Teacher Yang, who had driven over. After many days, Teacher Yang was as beautiful as ever, exuding a cool and elegant aura. Her exquisite, picture-perfect face was flawless, making her a pleasure to look at.
When Yang Zimo saw Qin Chuan again, a hint of joy and excitement welled up in her beautiful eyes.
"Our two great entrepreneurs are returning home, yet you've chosen such a simple coffee shop. This ranking doesn't match your current achievements!"
Yang Zimo said with a playful smile as she approached, then gracefully chose to sit beside Qin Chuan.
This subconscious action actually revealed a lot of information. Fang Rumei pouted slightly and grumbled inwardly, "Friendship abandoned for romance!"
Whether it was men or women, whether they liked each other, and how close their relationship was, were often revealed in their daily actions and words.
Yang Zimo's subconscious action was enough to prove that her heart had long been set on Qin Chuan.
Of course, that was indeed the case, as they had already done everything short of the final step.
"The chip research in the laboratory has only taken the first step towards success; we are still far from true success. I'm returning to Longcheng with Rumei this time to help her thoroughly implement all the steps at the factory."
Qin Chuan said.
Yang Zimo's eyes lit up quickly at this: "So, you'll be staying in Longcheng for a long time this time?"
"Look at you! Look at this woman, where is her usual cool and ethereal fairy-like demeanor? She's a complete little woman, her heart completely captured by a man!"
Fang Rumei couldn't help but tease.
Yang Zimo appeared very carefree and even put her arm around Qin Chuan's shoulder, not caring that her delicate body was leaning against him.
"He's my man, of course, I'm happy!"
"Unlike some single dogs who haven't found a partner yet."
Teacher Yang didn't forget to jab at her good friend as she spoke.
"Yang Zimo, if you bring up my shortcomings again, I'll get angry with you!"
Fang Rumei indeed bristled like a little female cat whose tail had been stepped on.
She was already twenty-five years old, two years older than Qin Chuan and Yang Zimo, and had never found a suitable boyfriend, which was definitely the biggest stain on her life.
Qin Chuan smiled, watching Teacher Yang and Fang Rumei playfully bicker. The scent from Teacher Yang filled his senses, making him feel very comfortable.
However, at this moment, his phone in his pocket suddenly beeped with a message notification. Qin Chuan instinctively took out his phone and opened the screen.
Then, two incredibly sharp glints shot out from the depths of his dark eyes. The sender was clearly Qi Yan, and the content was also very simple:
"New breakthroughs have been made with the evidence. Return from Beijing as soon as possible!"
