Especially ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍after that brief encounter at the restaurant.

Bai ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Ruoxue's impression of Chen Fan had changed slightly.

It ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍wasn't about his appearance score, but rather looking at Chen Fan's profile. He wasn't an ordinary person at all.

If ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍it was about letting her younger sister marry an ordinary man, Bai Ruoxue would absolutely not agree.

Net ‍​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‍worth of 10 billion, Yunhai's richest man.

Now it seems these conditions barely meet the standards of the Bai family, or rather, her - Bai Ruoxue - approval.

Of course, Bai Ruoxue's biggest change in perception of Chen Fan came from the last page of this investigation report.

The Bai family's intelligence department was quite capable.

Plus, Chen Fan had only focused on his business these years, without much awareness of being a wealthy person himself, so his security measures weren't adequate. Therefore, the Bai family's intelligence department easily investigated everything about Chen Fan.

For instance, it mentioned that Chen Fan's transformation occurred one month before the college entrance exam.

Before that, Chen Fan was just an ordinary high school student, unremarkable, never having done anything that shocked others.

Even in studies, he had always maintained a middle-of-the-road position in class, without any remarkable achievements.

The transformation happened one month before the college entrance exam.

This guy seemed to have suddenly become enlightened.

His studies improved rapidly, and in one month's time, his grades made a super leap. During the college entrance exam, he actually ranked in the top 10 in his school and top 30 in the district.

This had never happened before in Chen Fan's academic career.

Moreover, there was a very detailed point in the intelligence report.

That was that Chen Fan created Yuming.com after the college entrance exam.

But there was no indication of how Chen Fan, as a high school student, learned to build websites.

The content provided by the intelligence department was somewhat vague on this point.

For example, one month before the college entrance exam, Chen Fan apparently frequently visited internet cafes with friends, possibly self-learning during that time.

Also, after the college entrance exam, Chen Fan enrolled in a computer learning class.

His computer knowledge was most likely learned at the computer learning school.

Nearly two months of summer vacation time, learning computer knowledge while building websites...

Looking at it this way, this guy was really a genius.

Bai Ruoxue squinted at this string of small text on the document for quite a while.

Finally, she took out her phone and made a call.

After several rings, a respectful male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Young Miss."

"Why is the investigation about what Chen Fan did during summer vacation after the college entrance exam so vague in this report?"

The intelligence chief's tone on the other end was somewhat nervous.

"Well... because Chen Fan wasn't very famous at that time, and it was too long ago, making it difficult to investigate."

Bai Ruoxue didn't get angry, but asked directly.

"Is there any evidence of him self-learning computer knowledge before?"

"Well... not at the moment."

"Because the Second Master instructed not to alert anyone, so we couldn't send people to verify with individuals one by one."

"However, our people found some news reports from that year online."

"When Chen Fan sold Yuming.com, there were media reports afterward that mentioned Chen Fan frequently visited internet cafes to study at that time."

"However, our intelligence department analyzes that his computer knowledge was most likely learned at that computer school during the summer."

Bai Ruoxue was very dissatisfied with this speculative answer.

"Do you think someone can complete the journey from computer novice to website builder in just two months?"

The intelligence chief on the phone hesitated before saying: "Well... it might be impossible for others, but Chen Fan seems to be not ordinary."

"According to media reports, this guy is a business genius. For him, two months might not be difficult."

Bai Ruoxue didn't criticize whether this statement was right or wrong, but glanced at the document.

"Is that Honghai Computer School still there?"

"It's closed already."

"But the owner of that computer school was called Zhou Honghai at the time. Later when Chen Fan's business succeeded and he established Feifan Technology, Zhou Honghai briefly worked at Feifan Technology for a period."

"After that, he resigned and his whereabouts are unknown."

Bai Ruoxue seemed to have caught some clue.

She directly issued an order.

"Find Zhou Honghai for me. I want to meet him."

"Yes."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Ruoxue continued staring at the document.

Now, her interest in Chen Fan had increased another notch.

"However..."

Bai Ruoxue's expression was somewhat puzzled.

Just now seeing that guy at the restaurant...

Why does that face feel like she's seen it somewhere before?

......

On the second day of Zai Hui Lou's opening, Feifan Technology released an internal announcement.

In view of everyone's hard work recently, the company decided to add a benefit for everyone.

Feifan Technology has reached a cooperation agreement with Zai Hui Lou.

From now on, Zai Hui Lou will be responsible for providing lunch and dinner for all company employees.

If working overtime at night, free midnight snacks and drinks will also be provided.

This benefit immediately caused cheers among company employees.

This was actually equivalent to the company providing free meals for everyone, invisibly saving a portion of expenses for everyone.

Plus the free accommodation provided by the company before.

Feifan Technology was essentially providing food and housing for all employees.

In the conference room, Liang Shichu announced the company notice, then continued.

"How Mr. Chen treats everyone is evident to all."

"So far, only our Feifan Technology employees enjoy this benefit. Even people at group headquarters can only eat at the headquarters cafeteria, but accommodation is not provided."

"Why do we enjoy such good welfare benefits? It's because our Feifan Technology has done well these two years, always staying ahead of all companies."

"Mr. Chen said that Qifan Construction is building new buildings, and once the new company dormitory building is completed, they will prioritize providing free accommodation to our Feifan Technology employees."

"If you can win the outstanding employee award, the company will even give a free house..."

Seeing all employees' eyes lighting up, Liang Shichu knew the speech had achieved its purpose.

So he waved his hand.

"Therefore, everyone remember well."

"Next, we must work hard, absolutely cannot let down Mr. Chen's expectations for everyone."

"Meeting dismissed!"

The reason for preferential treatment of Feifan Technology employees wasn't just because Feifan Technology is currently most important to Chen Fan.

It was really because Ma Xiaoshuai's Zai Hui Lou had limited capacity.

If Zai Hui Lou's daily capacity increases in the future, Chen Fan plans to gradually extend this benefit to other companies.

Of course, as a business, you can't start with everyone being equal.

There must be differences. Only differences can make others envious, motivated, create competition, and allow the company to develop healthily.
