Reborn in 2000: Starting from Pursuing the Pure High School Beauty Desk Mate

Chapter 783: I Can Be Your Personal Assistant

As the food was served, Xu Qiuci initially felt a bit uncomfortable. After all, Chen Fan was now her boss. This new dynamic made her somewhat uneasy.

Fortunately, Chen Fan was very casual, and seeing the two of them happily catching up, Xu Qiuci gradually let go of her awkwardness.

They were all old friends, so there wasn't much need for formalities. The two women drank fruit juice, while Chen Fan ordered a bottle of cola.

"Come to think of it, you met senior Xu through my introduction," Mo Siyu said, while using her chopsticks to fish out some meat from the pot, carefully recalling the memory.

"Now that you mention it, it really was like that," Xu Qiuci replied.

"I still remember when you changed dorms, and we both went to help you move your things," Mo Siyu added.

Chen Fan nodded, "That's right."

"Oh, and I remember your girlfriend was that girl from the joint dorm meetup that Qiuci introduced you to, right?" Mo Siyu asked.

"Correct," Chen Fan confirmed.

Mo Siyu analyzed seriously, "So in that case, Qiuci is the matchmaker for you and your girlfriend, and I'm like a half-matchmaker. When you get married, you must thank me properly."

Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh, "No problem. I'll definitely send invitations to both of you seniors when the time comes."

Mo Siyu put down her chopsticks and asked curiously, "By the way, how are things going with you and your girlfriend? What does she do now?"

"We're still doing well. She's currently doing her postgraduate studies in Beijing," Chen Fan replied.

"What?" Mo Siyu was surprised. "With such a capable boyfriend, instead of rushing to marry you and securing this diamond bachelor, she's gone off to another city for postgraduate studies, doing a long-distance relationship?"

Clicking her tongue, Mo Siyu stared at Chen Fan, "It seems your little girlfriend is quite strong-willed, huh?"

Chen Fan explained, "We got engaged the year we graduated. She wanted to continue her studies, and I support her decision."

"I'm so envious of you two," Mo Siyu said.

"Why can't I meet a handsome, faithful diamond bachelor like you?" Mo Siyu rested her arms on the table, cupping her face with both hands as she stared at Chen Fan.

"So, big boss, I hear you've made it big now," she continued.

"Qiuci told me all about it. You're quite something now, a nationally renowned entrepreneur."

"I've even seen reports about you when I was abroad."

"It's hard to believe that the little junior who used to blush at the slightest joke has suddenly become such a big shot."

Mo Siyu's face was full of emotion. If this hadn't happened right before her eyes, she would never have believed it. It was simply too surreal.

"Even Qiuci is working at your company now. Hey, big boss, why don't you arrange a job for your senior sister here too?"

"How about having both of your senior sisters as your secretaries?" Mo Siyu said with a smile, glancing at Xu Qiuci sitting beside her.

"Qiuci can be your work secretary, and I can be your personal assistant. Of course, if Qiuci wants to switch, I don't mind either."

Xu Qiuci's face immediately turned bright red. She pushed Mo Siyu, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

She then looked nervously at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan chuckled. He was well acquainted with Mo Siyu's personality. In fact, Mo Siyu's character was quite similar to Ding Dian – they were both very open women.

However, Ding Dian's openness was straightforward and direct, saying whatever was on her mind.

Mo Siyu's openness, on the other hand, was more exuberant and cheerful, always ready to crack jokes.

Chen Fan picked up his chopsticks and said, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Senior isn't working as my secretary; she's doing assistant work at a branch company."

Mo Siyu's eyes lit up, "That's even better! This way, I can be your sole secretary."

"Look, I can handle both work and personal secretary duties. What do you think? I'm capable, have a good figure, and a pretty face. I definitely won't embarrass you if you take me out. Want to consider it?"

Xu Qiuci, blushing, pinched Mo Siyu. "Stop talking nonsense."

Mo Siyu burst into laughter, "I'm just teasing you."

"You know, this is my first time having a meal with a billionaire. It's quite an honor."

"We should take a photo together after dinner. I need to cherish this moment."

Xu Qiuci rolled her eyes and placed a piece of beef tripe on Mo Siyu's plate.

"Just eat, will you? Even eating can't shut you up."

Mo Siyu continued to stare at Chen Fan, her eyes sparkling like a kitten fixated on an interesting ball of yarn.

"Chen Fan, can you tell me how you did it?"

"When we first met, you were just a freshman. Back then, you gave me the impression of being an honest, simple guy who wasn't very talkative."

"But after just 4 or 5 years, you've become a billionaire."

"Do you know what my reaction was when Qiuci told me this news? I thought she was drunk and talking nonsense."

Chen Fan smiled, "There's not much to tell, really. It was just luck."

"I guess I'm just a lucky person. Probably stepped in some good fortune."

Mo Siyu rolled her eyes, "I've never seen anyone become a billionaire in just a few years by stepping in good fortune."

Chen Fan replied, "Then I must have stepped in several piles."

Xu Qiuci frowned slightly, "We're eating here. Can you two stop talking about stepping in things? If you want to continue, go outside and chat."

Mo Siyu and Chen Fan exchanged glances, smiling at each other like old friends who hadn't met in years.

Chen Fan took a sip from his cola cup, then asked, "I heard that senior is now working for a foreign company?"

Mo Siyu looked at Xu Qiuci.

"You've been selling me out again, haven't you?"

Xu Qiuci didn't respond, focusing on her meal instead.

Mo Siyu raised her hand to adjust her hair.

"After graduation, I met the wrong guy, a jerk. After breaking up with him, I went abroad to study for 3 years. After graduating, I naturally joined a foreign company. I've been muddling along until now."

Chen Fan smiled and asked, "Do you think foreign companies have any advantages compared to our domestic ones?"

Mo Siyu ate a piece of meat before continuing her rant, "Actually, working for a foreign company has its pros and cons."

"The advantages are relatively high salaries, stable working hours, the opportunity to improve personal skills, and learn some advanced management techniques and concepts."

"Of course, there are drawbacks too, such as high competitive pressure, lack of personal touch... and limited room for advancement."

"This is especially true for us Chinese working abroad. Some foreign companies have serious discriminatory practices. Their top executives are mostly white Europeans and Americans. Sometimes they'd rather have an Indian as an executive than choose a Chinese person."

"That's why you rarely see Chinese people entering the top management in foreign companies."

Chen Fan nodded silently. It seemed that Mo Siyu wasn't just there to kill time; at least her analysis was quite thorough.

"By the way, I haven't asked what major senior studied abroad?"

"Advertising media and TV broadcasting direction."
