What's the matter?\" Chen Fan asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really didn't know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been so busy with many things lately that he had no idea about Pang Longhai's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Pang Longhai gritted his teeth and explained his current predicament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, Brother Chen, there's no outsider here, so I won't hide anything from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To be honest, I never imagined it would turn out like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That old deputy bureau chief guards against me like a thief every day, always thinking I'm trying to steal his position, making my situation in the bureau very passive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I had known it would be like this, I would have been more comfortable in my original post.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he started talking about his troubles, Pang Longhai couldn't stop himself and vented all the complaints in his stomach in one breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing, he took another dejected sip of alcohol.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chen, let me tell you, I've had enough of this job. If I could, I'd want to quit tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've also reported to the higher-ups before, wanting to transfer back to my original post, but unfortunately, they haven't given me any response... I guess the leaders above want us to fight it out ourselves...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're all a bunch of people who don't do any real work, thinking about scheming and plotting all day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her husband start to complain, his wife nervously coughed lightly beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Pang, you've had too much to drink. Drink less.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai also realized he had said too much and was frightened inwardly, but didn't show it on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine. Chen Fan isn't an outsider. I'm just venting a little.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled, \"Sister-in-law, it's alright. Let Brother Pang vent his frustrations, it'll make him feel less depressed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Chen Fan said to Pang Longhai: \"Is this matter difficult to handle? Is there anything I can do to help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai shook his head with a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What help could you offer? Even if you could help, I wouldn't let you. I'm just venting to you after drinking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded: \"I really can't help with your official circles' matters, but if there's a chance, I could ask around and see what the arrangements are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I can't guarantee I'll find out anything for sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Pang Longhai's heart leaped with joy, and he secretly exchanged glances with his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he hurriedly raised his glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Chen, just for saying that, I won't say anything more. This glass, I toast to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan picked up his teacup, \"I can't drink anymore, I'll use tea instead of alcohol.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan wasn't just making random promises to the other party. In fact, he couldn't make any decisions about official matters either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just said he could help ask around, and if it was just a simple inquiry, he could manage that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his relationship with Yan Qing, asking for a favor to inquire about this shouldn't be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meal lasted until after 10 pm, and Chen Fan got up to say goodbye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai escorted Chen Fan all the way downstairs, and when he returned, his wife was waiting in the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Will it work?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pang Longhai, no longer showing the drunken state from earlier, sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But since Chen Fan voluntarily offered to help, he should have some way, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, Chen Fan is a good man to deal with. I owe him a favor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife couldn't help but ask curiously: \"How did you get to know him in the first place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Pang Longhai held the cigarette in his mouth, a reminiscent smile appearing on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Back then, he was just a small boss starting his business. His club was often harassed by thugs, and he asked someone to find me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first time I saw him, I felt this young man was different from others. He had a very special quality about him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thinking about it now, I should be grateful for my choice back then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wife nodded in agreement beside him: \"If he can really help you solve your trouble, then he'll truly be our family's benefactor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Chen Fan, this was just a small matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, he met Yan Qing at Feifan Media. This guy was eloquently boasting to someone about winning a car race last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Fan approach, Yan Qing smiled and raised his hand in greeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan walked over and, without beating around the bush, directly explained Pang Longhai's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you help ask around and see what the higher-ups are planning to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qing looked at Chen Fan with a meaningful smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you that close to him? To go this far for him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan smiled: \"It's not that complicated. When I first started my business, he did help me quite a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We've maintained a good relationship, and now that he's in trouble, returning the favor is only right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qing laughed, \"Your personality is quite rare in this circle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In this circle, everyone just uses each other. People only want to hang out with you if you have value. Those with lower status or position are naturally looked down upon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Friendship? That's something rarely heard of in this circle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan shook his head: \"There's no need to make it sound so ominous, right? At least our relationship is pretty good, isn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's true. I just find you particularly agreeable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough talk, don't forget. Find some time to ask around for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qing smiled: \"Don't ask me about this. I'll find someone more suitable than me for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then raised his hand and called out: \"Xiao Si, Xiao Si, come over here for a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Si, who had come with Yan Qing, was surrounding a female guitarist from the studio, insisting that she teach him how to play the guitar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Yan Qing's call, Xiao Si finally walked over with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan joked: \"I'm telling you, can you stop hitting on our studio's female employees in the future?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qing also laughed and said: \"Don't worry. With me around, I absolutely won't let him misbehave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Si looked aggrieved: \"Can't I be sincere?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop talking nonsense, I have something for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qing explained the situation and then said: \"Find some time to ask your uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he explained to Chen Fan: \"Xiao Si's uncle works at the provincial bureau. He can handle this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan felt somewhat emotional. He was increasingly understanding how important the benefits of joining this circle, which Yan Qing had mentioned to him earlier, were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Si didn't treat this as a big deal at all. It was just a matter of making a phone call, which was nothing to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he still gave Chen Fan a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss Chen actually values friendship so much, I admire that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was speechless: \"If you two have any difficulties in the future, I'll help without hesitation as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them laughed. They liked hearing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I love being friends with big bosses like you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing the main business, as Chen Fan was preparing to leave, Yan Qing escorted him out alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard you've been working on the shantytown renovation project recently?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan: \"You've heard about it too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Are you interested in this as well?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not interested at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qing smiled: \"It's Xiao Si.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's been pursuing a college girl recently. Her family has a construction team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He's too embarrassed to ask you himself, so he asked me to help inquire if you could give them some small projects when the time comes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He wants to impress the girl.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh, \"Just for this? Brother Si is really willing to invest for chasing girls.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qing laughed along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what do you think? Is it convenient? If not, I'll help you turn him down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan asked, \"They have all the necessary qualifications, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry about that, it's definitely a legitimate construction team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then there's no problem. Here's the phone number of Manager Guo from our Qifan Construction. Let Brother Si contact him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Chen Fan, the shantytown project was so large that his company alone couldn't handle it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would need to find partners sooner or later anyway, and as long as the other party had proper qualifications, Chen Fan didn't mind doing a few favors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Qing joked with a smile: \"If it works out, we'll have Xiao Si treat you to a meal later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan laughed heartily: \"Let's put the meal on hold for now. I've got something important to do, so I'm leaving first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you going? There's a race tonight, want to join in the fun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't have time, brother. My wife is coming. I need to go pick her up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Fan get into his car with a big smile, Yan Qing shook his head helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, you don't look like a big boss at all with that expression.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1595,"2026-06-05T15:07:00.965Z",1,"novelbin.me","7a8c63cdea9d9f38c39675030841d5c99e4bfa102b6799cc9e988f54a2b16537","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-736","reborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-chapter-734",761,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2000-starting-from-pursuing-the-pure-h-cover.jpg"]
