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

Chapter 784: It's Simply Too Perfect

When Chen Fan heard the major Mo Siyu was studying, he was visibly stunned.

"What's your current job abroad?"

Mo Siyu smiled, "Didn't I already say? Advertising media and TV directing."

"Actually, I joined a media company that's involved in a wide range of businesses, including advertising production, online marketing, TV directing, as well as variety show production, behind-the-scenes editing, and so on."

"When I first joined the company, I was just an unlucky migrant worker, doing all the dirty and tiring work."

"At first, I worked in advertising creativity and shooting, then I was transferred to the TV program department. I worked there for a year, and I guess the manager thought I could endure hardships well and my skills were decent, so they promoted me to a team leader..."

While Mo Siyu was still "rambling on" to Xu Qiuci about how difficult it was to work abroad, Chen Fan's thoughts were already wandering elsewhere.

The variety show project under Feifan Media had already been initiated and was currently in the recruitment stage.

As soon as they returned after the New Year, they would start mass auditions, they had to beat Mango TV to it.

But there was still a vacancy for a professional leadership position.

There was no way around it, currently, most of these variety shows in China were still following the old TV station production model, with very few independent production companies making shows.

Firstly, there was a lack of experience, and secondly, the risk was too high. No one could guarantee that a show produced with great effort and money would actually be broadcast on TV stations.

Of course, Chen Fan wasn't too worried about this.

Even if they couldn't reach an agreement with TV stations, he had another route - broadcasting directly on their own network platform, Feifan Video.

This was the importance of controlling the broadcasting platform and channels.

In this period of 2005, the foreign experience in the media industry was undoubtedly ahead of domestic counterparts.

Now, suddenly seeing Mo Siyu sitting beside him, Chen Fan was moved.

Wasn't this a gift sent by heaven?

Having her in charge of this project would be simply too perfect.

But hearing Mo Siyu say she had just been promoted and her salary had increased, her future seemed quite promising.

Chen Fan felt a bit uncomfortable about bringing it up.

So Chen Fan temporarily suppressed the idea of poaching Mo Siyu, and instead changed the subject.

"Senior, what do you think are the differences between foreign and domestic TV programs and variety shows?"

Mo Siyu, true to her professional background, gave an answer almost without thinking.

"They're far ahead."

"Whether it's program quality or variety, foreign shows are far superior to domestic ones."

"Before the millennium, we had many high-quality variety shows in China. Without going too far back, just think of CCTV's 《Zhengda Variety Show》, 《Grand Variety Show》, 《The Same Song》... and current affairs programs like 《Focus Interview》, these were all very high-quality variety shows."

"The millennium was a crucial year for us Chinese. These programs not only could take us out to see the world, provide entertainment, but also allow people to learn knowledge..."

Mo Siyu looked at the two of them, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

"But now? How many national-level variety shows can you name that are left in China?"

"In the past two years, the only variety show that has caused a sensation in China is 《Super Girl》. Other TV stations are basically at a standstill, just getting by."

"It's different abroad. Foreign TV programs are very broad, with many types, and there are always various innovative programs appearing."

"In this regard, we should indeed learn more from foreigners."

Chen Fan smiled, "Just based on what you just said, I think your company should promote you to manager."

Mo Siyu giggled, "I love hearing that."

The three then changed the topic of conversation. Xu Qiuci asked Mo Siyu when she was leaving, and Mo Siyu said she had to go back after the Chinese New Year.

"Ah, thinking about it now, it was better when we were in school. Free and easy, unrestrained, could do whatever we wanted."

"I regret it now, always feeling like those 4 years of university weren't enough."

"You know what, when I'm abroad, I often dream about university life. Sometimes I even dream about university exams, the test paper is handed out, I look at the questions and can't do a single one, I'm so anxious I'm sweating... and then I wake up with a start."

Chen Fan laughed too, "I can relate to that. Sometimes I dream that there are only a few minutes left before I have to hand in the exam paper, but my paper is still blank, it scares me so much I'm shaking all over..."

"Right? Right?" Mo Siyu seemed to have suddenly found a kindred spirit.

"Does this kind of dream mean we still have some attachment to university?"

"Is that so?"

Chen Fan scratched his head, he didn't really have that feeling.

In his previous life and this one, he had essentially spent 8 years in university.

If there were any regrets in his previous life, in this life Chen Fan didn't really have many regrets.

His career was going well, and his love life was perfect. He was very content.

After the three finished eating, Chen Fan took out his wallet to pay as they were leaving.

Mo Siyu protested, "We agreed that I would treat, why are you paying?"

Chen Fan smiled, "It's been so many years since I've seen my senior, as a junior it's only right that I treat you."

"Besides, didn't you say you two were the matchmakers for me and my girlfriend? It's only right that I treat you both to a meal."

"Well, when you put it that way, I guess you're not wrong."

Mo Siyu grabbed Xu Qiuci's arm and said with a grin, "But just a hotpot meal isn't enough, it's too cheap for you two."

Chen Fan smiled wryly, "I shouldn't have brought this up."

"Look at that. Such a big boss, and still a miser. I haven't even said anything yet."

Chen Fan shrugged, "Alright, I'll go all out. What else do you two want to eat? How about I spend big money and buy you a cup of milk tea?"

Xu Qiuci and Mo Siyu giggled. Mo Siyu waved her hand with a smile.

"Alright. Don't embarrass yourself."

"Your punishment is to accompany us shopping at the mall. We need someone to carry our bags."

Chen Fan laughed and held out his hand in a gesture.

"That's no problem. It's just carrying bags. As long as I get paid."

Mo Siyu rolled her eyes, "You even want to get paid? You really are a capitalist. Always about the money."

"Forget it then."

Since Chen Fan was going to buy things anyway, the three of them went to the shopping area downstairs together.

As they walked and chatted casually, Chen Fan asked with a smile if any foreigners had pursued his senior sister abroad.

Mo Siyu nodded.

"There have been some. But I don't plan on finding a foreign boyfriend."

"Why not?"

"Foreigners don't really fit my aesthetic preferences."

"Is it true that foreigners like to go Dutch when they treat someone?"

"Sort of, but not exactly."

Mo Siyu explained that with the foreigners she had encountered, there wasn't really a situation where men would proactively pay the bill when dining with women.

Most foreigners were very clear on this point.

Moreover, going Dutch abroad was a bit different. They didn't split the bill in half with each person paying half, but rather each person only paid for their own portion.

"This is the difference between two different life philosophies. China is a society based on personal relationships, while abroad tends to be more rational and clearly distinguishes between public and private matters. But it's precisely because of this that foreign social circles seem to lack a sense of human warmth."

As they chatted, the three of them walked into a women's handbag store together.

As soon as they entered the store, the two women seemed like fish entering the sea, unable to move away.

Chen Fan stood to the side alone, smiling as he watched this scene.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. Why not buy a bag as a gift for Su Ruochu?

Originally, he had planned to buy a necklace, but Su Ruochu didn't really like wearing jewelry in daily life.

Seeing Chen Fan's gaze wandering over these bags, Mo Siyu suddenly teased him.

"What? You want to buy one too?"

Chen Fan nodded, "I'm planning to buy one for my girlfriend as a New Year's gift."

"Oh! Quite romantic, aren't you?" Mo Siyu asked with a smile, "Haven't you bought her one before?"

Chen Fan immediately explained seriously.

"As a woman, doesn't senior sister know that famous saying?"

"What?"

"A woman's closet is always missing one more handbag."

Mo Siyu was stumped, and finally gave Chen Fan a thumbs up.
