"Qianqian, you're here too?" Su Yuan-Shan clearly didn't expect to find his daughter here.
"Hoho, it looks like you're progressing pretty well with Ye Fan. Continue to work at it, and bring him back to see Granny over Lunar New Year,” laughed Su Yuan-Shan merrily.
Granny was Su Yuan-Shan's mother. His father passed away when he was very young, so his mother was the one who brought him up.
Su Yuan-Shan was where he was today thanks to this Granny.
As such, Granny had an extremely high position in the Su family. Even Su Yuan-Shan himself would often seek his mother's opinion.
When it came to something big like his children's marriage, he definitely wanted his mother to have a say.
Su Yuan-Shan then looked at Ye Fan.
"Ye Fan, you're really here! Su Yang told me to look for you at Mufan Real Estate, and you're really here.” Su Yuan-Shan was so happy to see Ye Fan, it was as if Ye Fan was really his son-in-law.
"Uncle Su, is anything the matter?" Ye Fan was curious.
He had been avoiding Su Yuan-Shan during this period of time.
After all, this fellow wanted him to marry Su Qian.
How could he do that?
Besides the fact that Ye Fan wasn't interested in Su Qian at all, Su Qian was also his wife's best friend. How could he do such a thing?
"My company is expanding our business and we need a professional antiques appraiser, so the first person I thought of was you. How's that? Want to work for me? I'll give you $5 million a year and you'll get some company shares as your bonus annually. If all goes well, you'll earn $7 or
$8 million a year," said Su Yuan-Shan warmly.
What?
"$5...$5 million?! Dad, you're nuts! Ye Fan is just a country bumpkin and you're offering him $5 million? You don't even give me that much money every year!” Su Qian's eyes were going to fall right out of her head.
What a quick slap in the face.
She was just telling Ye Fan so confidently that no idiot in the world would offer Ye Fan more than $3,000 a month in salary besides her and Qiu Mu-Cheng.
And now, her own father was offering Ye Fan an annual salary of $5 million.
That was too ridiculous, wasn't it?
"Shush! What do you know? Ye Fan isn't only worth $5 million."
Su Yuan-Shan even felt that this amount wasn't enough to hire Ye Fan.
After all, Ye Fan had been able to identify an ancient painting worth more than $100 million back at Shanshui Hall.
He was still holding onto that painting too.
Su Yuan-Shan had witnessed Ye Fan's ability first hand.
Even if he had to pay Ye Fan $10 million, he felt that it was still worth it.
"Don't just stand there, help me to persuade Ye Fan," hurried Su Yuan-Shan as he glared at his daughter.
"Uncle Su, no need. I don't want you to become an idiot, so I won't take this job," said Ye Fan with the shake of his head and a laugh.
"Idiot? What? What's going on?" Su Yuan-Shan was confused.
Ye Fan then repeated what Su Qian told him just moments ago.
Su Yuan-Shan glared even harder at his daughter.
"Su Qian! Are you trying to drive me to my grave? Apologize to Ye Fan now!" shouted Su Yuan-Shan angrily. Su Qian hung her head and was too scared to even say anything.
In the end, Ye Fan turned Su Yuan-Shan's offer down.
Ye Fan didn't even take the job that Qiu Mu-Cheng offered him, so how could he possibly accept someone else's offer.
But Su Yuan-Shan didn't seem to have any intention of giving up.
