## Character history

As the son of Qiao Ji Yun and the grandson of Qiao Ju Long, he would have been exposed to the business of Qiao's Group from an early age. By the time he was a young man, he held the rank of Director (总).

However, he preferred to party with his friends rather than spend time at the office. On the same day Xia Wan Qing was interviewing his father, Jin Fan was hosting a pool party with lots of bikini-clad girls crowding around him, splashing and giving him massage, etc. On his way back from the party, he passed the car Wan Qing was in, catching his first glimpse of her as one of the girls in his car fired a champagne cork at her. He also saw Xia Wan Yang and Mo Ling Tian for the first time there.

Later, he and Xie Chuang made a plan to acquire the land at Haixi Road by using a dossier on the land owner's love affair, purchased by Chuang. However, Chuang's seller had also sold the same dossier to Jin Fan's negotiating rival, Hua Lang Group, meaning he no longer had the upper hand. Jin Fan and Chuang took revenge on the seller by kicking him until he could barely walk. To make matters worse, Chairman Qiao blocked the land purchase as he did not agree with Jin Fan's idea to build an entertainment centre. (#1)

## Assets

### Cars

#### BMW

Jin Fan drove a red BMW with Shandong number plate B27251.

#### Ferrari

Jin Fan also drove a red Ferrari with Shandong number plate B88868.

*The number 888 is considered lucky in China.*

## Friendships and relationships

### Friendships

#### Xie Chuang

As well as working with him in the business world, Xie Chuang was also one of Jin Fan's best friends. They would often joke together, playing along with various jokey scenarios. They did almost everything together. Xie Chuang was very loyal to Jin Fan, while Jin Fan was sometimes amused at Xie Chuang taking things too seriously.

### Family

#### Qiao Ji Yun

Jin Fan had a rocky relationship with his father, and didn't seem to care much about keeping his dad happy. He regularly ignored directives from his father (who was also technically his boss), causing his father to need to take measures to stop his son causing damage. He even mocked his father in private company, saying his father never taught him to be polite. (#1)

#### Qiao Ming Jiao

Ming Jiao was Jin Fan's sister, but he also noticed that Xie Chuang had a crush on her. This did not seem to bother him, as he teased his friend about not having managed to start a relationship with Ming Jiao. (#1)

### Relationships

#### Xiao Ping

Xiao Ping was in some kind of relationship with Jin Fan. They had known each other at least one year. On Xiao Ping's birthday, Jin Fan decided to spend the day partying with lots of bikini-clad girls, and didn't wish her a happy birthday all day. Late at night, she called him, and he claimed to not have forgotten her birthday, lying that he was still at a social event. He tried to redeem himself by reminiscing about her birthday celebration the previous year. (#1)

#### Girl wearing black and white bikini

One of the girls at the pool party seemed particularly attached to Jin Fan. She stayed with him all the time, even when other girls went to sit with Xie Chuang. She spent most of the time giving him a massage.

*While she did not talk to him, it's assumed that they had some kind of casual relationship.*
She was later shown to be one of the three girls he allowed to ride in the open top of his BMW, while the other girls were presumably in another vehicle or having to make their own way home. (#1)
