Chapter 107: Old Acquaintances Meet Again
As the naivety and curiosity of just entering university faded away, Room 519 finally entered its own university rhythm.
During the military training, the roommates collectively took action, going to class together and eating in the cafeteria together, which were scenes rarely seen now.
Facts proved that no matter how good the relationship between roommates was, there would still be some degree of closeness or distance.
In Room 519, Chen Fan and Luo Wenjie were the most mysterious, often appearing and disappearing without a trace.
However, Chen Fan had the best relationship with Ma Xiaoshuai.
It was not because Ma Xiaoshuai was a rich second-generation, but because this kid's personality was very much to Chen Fan's liking.
In the dormitory, Ma Xiaoshuai never acted superior because of his rich second-generation status.
For example, there were always a few packs of cigarettes on his bookshelf, and his roommates could help themselves without asking.
After they finished smoking, Ma Xiaoshuai would quietly put a few more packs back.
Everything was done so naturally, both saving the face of the roommates who were short on money and avoiding any awkwardness.
The Third Brother Sun Hao and the Fifth Brother Han Xu had the best relationship.
Both of them were hardworking students, almost always sticking together and sitting in the front row for every class.
As for the dorm leader Wu Di, a typical official-obsessed type, not only did he play the role of class monitor with great flair, but he was also making waves in the student union.
Chen Fan heard from Ma Xiaoshuai that Wu Di had even joined four clubs, keeping himself busy all day long.
Even though they didn't often take action together or see each other frequently, everyone was trying their best to maintain the harmony of this dormitory.
For instance, ever since Wu Di joined the student union, Room 519 had never been inspected.
For instance, Ma Xiaoshuai would occasionally buy some snacks and throw them into the dormitory for everyone to share.
For instance, Sun Hao would quietly keep the dormitory clean and tidy, in stark contrast to the pigsty-like condition of some neighboring dormitories.
Chen Fan liked this dormitory atmosphere.
Everyone was very free, yet at the same time, they considered others.
Each person had found their own suitable way of life in university.
Chen Fan's way of life was to make money, and make more money.
He considered himself a vulgar person.
His biggest dream in this life was to make a lot of money, marry Su Ruochu, and let her live a happy life.
Chen Fan felt that he was one step closer to this dream.
Previously, he went to the bank to deposit money about once a month.
But now, with the opening of the First Encounter internet cafe, Chen Fan changed to going once a week.
There was no way around it, as the two internet cafes were simply too popular.
They could bring Chen Fan a profit of around a hundred thousand yuan a week.
Since the internet cafes collected mostly small change, every time Chen Fan had to bring a large amount of small change to the bank.
In the beginning, Chen Fan was very cautious, using a suitcase to carry the money, being extremely careful.
But after going for a few weeks in a row, Chen Fan became a bit numb to it.
The container for the money also changed from a suitcase to a plastic bag.
On this day, Chen Fan once again brought a plastic bag of small change to the bank branch.
As a VIP customer, he didn't need to queue and could directly enter the reception room.
The woman staff member who served him was still Zhou Xiuna.
Glancing at the dark plastic bag in Chen Fan's hand, Zhou Xiuna's facial muscles couldn't help but twitch a little.
To be honest, after seeing Chen Fan come in with a bag of money several times before, Zhou Xiuna had secretly suspected that this kid might have been involved in some illegal activities.
Otherwise, how could he possibly make money so fast?
Earning around a hundred thousand yuan every week.
She should know, her own salary was only a little over two thousand yuan.
What she worked hard for in a whole year wasn't even as much as what Chen Fan made in a week.
How could anyone make money that fast?
Even counterfeiting wouldn't allow for that.
Unless he was involved in some illegal activities.
That was what Zhou Xiuna had initially suspected. But then she thought again, who would bring a bag of small change when engaging in illegal activities?
Later, when she learned that Chen Fan was actually the boss of the nearby Starry Sky internet cafe, Zhou Xiuna's attitude towards Chen Fan became increasingly respectful.
Nowadays, those who could make money were real winners, the cream of the crop.
"Mr. Chen, here is your deposit slip, and here is your bank card. Please keep them safe."
Zhou Xiuna respectfully handed over the items with a smiling face.
"Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?"
Chen Fan shook his head and stood up.
"No, that's all. I'll be going now."
"Allow me to see you out."
Zhou Xiuna immediately stood up, hurrying in her little high heels to lead the way, guiding Chen Fan out to the main lobby.
The group of customers queuing to conduct business in the main hall saw this scene, each looking at Chen Fan with envious eyes.
What the hell? Why doesn't he have to queue?
Chen Fan felt a bit awkward.
He thought this branch was too close to the school. He had only been thinking of convenience before, forgetting that it would be easy for classmates to recognize him here.
Should he go to a branch further away to deposit money next time?
As he was thinking about this, the two reached the entrance of the bank.
"Goodbye Mr. Chen, we welcome your next visit," Zhou Xiuna smiled and waved.
Chen Fan was just about to speak when, looking up, he almost bumped straight into a girl who was about to enter.
"Sorry, sorry..."
The girl apologized repeatedly, her gaze sweeping over Chen Fan, and her expression immediately froze.
"Hey, haven't we...met somewhere before?"
Chen Fan smiled.
"What a coincidence."
"We met in Luocheng."
"Yes, yes, I remember now."
The girl nodded excitedly.
"You're my little fellow townsman. During the summer vacation, my laptop broke down. Thanks to you for fixing it at that time."
"Sorry, I forgot your name..."
"Chen Fan."
"Right, right, Junior Chen Fan. My name is..."
"Fang Ling."
Chen Fan immediately said her name.
Being addressed by her name caught Fang Ling off guard, as she had already forgotten his.
"That's right, I remember now. You said at the time that you also got into Yunhai University. Haha, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
"Looks like we're quite destined."
Chen Fan smiled awkwardly, not expecting this chatty girl to be able to talk non-stop even to an unfamiliar person.
"I'm also at Yunhai University, in my third year. I'll have to treat you to a meal someday as a proper thank you."
Chen Fan waved his hand with a smile.
"No need. The compensation you gave me last time was enough thanks ten times over."
Fang Ling giggled, "You're an interesting junior. Feel free to find me if you have any issues at school in the future."
"Oh right, do you have a phone number? You can take down mine."
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment before taking out his phone.
"Oh?" Fang Ling seemed a bit surprised. "You got a phone?"
The two quickly exchanged phone numbers. Before Fang Ling could continue, Chen Fan quickly said:
"Senior, I have something to take care of. We'll catch up next time."
"Ah? Oh, goodbye..."
Chen Fan waved goodbye to her, then nodded to Zhou Xiuna beside him.
Zhou Xiuna quickly smiled, "Goodbye, Mr. Chen."
Watching Chen Fan leave, Fang Ling finally turned to look at Zhou Xiuna.
"Cousin, did you come out to welcome me?"
Zhou Xiuna curiously asked, "You know Mr. Chen?"
"Mr. Chen? Which Mr. Chen?"
"The Chen Fan just now."
"You mean him? He's a fellow townsman from Luocheng. And he just got into Yunhai University, so we're alumni now."
Zhou Xiuna immediately widened her eyes in disbelief.
"You're saying he's still a student?"
"Yes, what's wrong with that? He's a freshman this year."
Zhou Xiuna looked dazed.
"Mr. Chen is one of our VIP clients."
Now it was Fang Ling's turn to freeze.
"Are you sure we're talking about the same person?"
