Chapter 600: Chapter 600

Old Zhou’s chosen location was quite high-end, a luxury hotel.

He obviously had taken seriously what Mr. Fan and Yang Fan had discussed before, not just the exquisite dishes, but also the Maozi alcohol that Mr. Fan had requested from Yang Fan. Before, Yang Fan and Mr. Fan had haggled for a long time, but in front of Old Zhou, a bottle appeared in everyone’s hand, and a whole case was stacked in the prep room.

This hospitality instantly brought more smiles to Mr. Fan’s face, "Boss Zhou, this is overly generous."

Old Zhou stood up, lifted his glass with politeness, and said to Mr. Fan, "Elder, Fanzi and I are like brothers. Although we’re not related by blood, our relationship is nearly as close. You should just call me Xiao Zhou."

"Wouldn’t calling you Xiao Zhou at your age be a bit presumptuous?" Mr. Fan chuckled.

Old Zhou laughed, "Elder, even if I were to grow another ten years older, I’d still be Xiao Zhou in front of you."

"Alright, Xiao Zhou, thank you for your hospitality. Not like this kid, who acts like I’m taking his life if I drink two cups of his alcohol," Mr. Fan said, glancing at Yang Fan with disdain.

Yang Fan silently played dead; Maozi was quite expensive.

Fan Sisi poked Yang Fan gently in the arm and whispered, "What kind of deal did you negotiate with my grandfather, supplying Maozi every month?"

Yang Fan nodded.

"My grandfather is really laying it on thick. That stuff is so expensive. Never mind, don’t worry about it. From now on, I’ll handle selling my grandfather’s alcohol. Whenever you’re free, just come by my place, pick it up, and deliver it to him," Fan Sisi said softly.

Yang Fan chuckled slightly; if Mr. Fan heard this, he would definitely scold him for letting his ’little cotton-padded jacket’ have a leak.

He smiled and declined Fan Sisi’s kind offer, "No worries, Mr. Fan is not only your grandfather but also my respectful mentor. Buying him a few bottles of alcohol each month is the least I can do. Compared to what he’s taught me, this is nothing."

"Why are you being as pedantic as my grandfather? How much do you earn in a month? After buying alcohol, how much could you possibly have left? Don’t worry about it; you don’t have to," Fan Sisi said, exasperated.

Yang Fan spoke warmly, with a smile, "I’m not doing too badly now. This much won’t break the bank."

Fan Sisi raised an eyebrow and teased, "How much do you make in a month? If you’re earning twenty or thirty thousand, I wouldn’t be saying this. You can sell however you want to."

Yang Fan responded, "That figure is about right."

"You’re earning that much now?" Fan Sisi asked in surprise.

She had only meant to give Yang Fan a hard time, but she didn’t expect that he could genuinely have such an income.

"It’s all thanks to Old Zhou," Yang Fan said. "He signed a big contract and gave me a share. Otherwise, no matter how hard I worked, I certainly wouldn’t be able to reach this level of income."

When he used to work in the mountains, Yang Fan’s income was extremely unstable, as little as a few dozen or as much as a few hundred a day, barely managing to make five or six thousand a month. In fact, at that time, earning such an income already satisfied Yang Fan greatly.

Now that he was making relatively more, his ambitions were beginning to inflate.

An income of twenty or thirty thousand no longer seemed like much to him.

The goals he wanted to achieve were costly, and naturally, his savings and earnings didn’t seem all that substantial anymore.

"Since you’re earning that much, I won’t say much more. In the end, you’re making more than me," Fan Sisi shook her head and said, "You’ve quietly become a little tycoon. Shanshan and I were even thinking about how to help you out recently. Now it seems we were just worrying for nothing."

"Shanshan also said you’re incredibly proud, so we had to find a relatively gentle, more normal way to help you, or else you definitely wouldn’t accept our kindness."

Yang Fan shook his head, "I’m earning okay now, no need for you guys to help me."

"As for money, it’s fine as long as it’s enough," Fan Sisi said, "With your income, you do count as a high-earner, it really seems like we don’t need to worry about you."

"Speaking of which, Fanzi, what’s the relationship between Old Zhou and that Lin’er?"

As the topic came up, Fan Sisi’s voice dropped down a notch.

"New flame," Yang Fan said indifferently.

"Tsk, he sure moved on fast," Fan Sisi clicked her tongue lightly and said sarcastically, "He and Shanshan have only been divorced for so short a time, and he’s already hooked up with someone else. They must have been having an affair from before, right?"

"On this matter, I do have a say. There was really nothing between them before; they only met recently," Yang Fan said, "And, while you might have a say in this, I truly have no room to talk with Shanshan."

Fan Sisi paused for a moment, then suddenly let out a snicker, "I’d forgotten about you two."

"Here I was about to laugh at others when I’m hardly better. Let’s leave it at that. What does Lin’er do?"

A woman’s gossipy nature could not be more evident at that moment.

Even someone as gentle and refined as Fan Sisi couldn’t help but perk up her ears at such a topic.

"She’s apparently the biggest clothing retailer in Xin’an, I didn’t ask for specifics, but she should be in the wholesale clothing business," Yang Fan said quietly, "As for anything else, I’m not too clear, but overall, she’s rather wealthy."

"Old Zhou’s eye for women really isn’t bad. He swapped out so quickly and even found himself a rich woman," Fan Sisi said nonchalantly though she could not help feeling a bit sour.

With distance in relationships as a premise, the logic seemed flawed.

While Yang Fan and Fan Sisi were whispering among themselves, Duan Lin’er and Gao Yunshan were also busy chatting.

Their topic of conversation, unsurprisingly, was Fan Sisi.

"Yun Shan, with a classic beauty by your crush’s side, do you really think you can sit still?" Duan Lin’er said indignantly, "I’d bet anything there’s something fishy between those two. They’ve probably already been rolling in and out of bed who knows how many times, maybe that shady path has already been widened into an eight-lane road."

Gao Yunshan looked slightly uncomfortable, "Fanzi told me a while back that not only does he have women, he’s got several!"

"Clearly one of Mr. Fan’s granddaughters is among them. I was prepared for this. Even if they were right in front of me, I could still sit still."

Duan Lin’er looked at Gao Yunshan in surprise, "Sister Gao, you’re really something. Knowing the danger yet still marching into Tiger Mountain? Is this guy really so great that, despite having several women, he’s worth you throwing yourself at him?"

"I think he’s worth it," Gao Yunshan said after a moment of serious consideration.

"Compared to his current situation, I care more about my own intuition and feelings."
