Chapter 204: In the blink of an eye, it's all gone again
Liu Weijie was expelled.
In fact, since the photos from the post were exposed, everyone knew Liu Weijie was done for.
Even if the school wanted to protect him, they had to consider the surging public opinion.
Fortunately, the school reacted quickly this time, directly cutting ties with Liu Weijie and issuing a notice that Liu Weijie would be expelled.
However, the criticism of Liu Weijie online had not ended.
As the saying goes, it's better to beat a fallen dog. Now that Liu Weijie was in trouble, those female students who had been bullied by him before finally saw a glimmer of hope and mustered the courage to come forward and bravely expose Liu Weijie's dirt online.
One incident after another... it was simply shocking.
"Our Teacher Liu is done for..."
In the office of Starry Sky Internet Cafe, Chen Fan and Luo Wenjie were looking at posts on the campus BBS.
This was already the fifth brave girl who had come forward to expose Liu Weijie.
Seeing this, the two knew that Liu Weijie was done for. Not only would he be expelled from school, but he would likely also face severe legal punishment.
At the same time, the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because these brave girls had come forward with even more explosive revelations, the play directed by Chen Fan and Luo Wenjie had been vindicated, and no one doubted its authenticity anymore.
Everyone was attracted by the even more shocking content revealed by these girls.
So Chen Fan and Luo Wenjie could be said to have accidentally got away scot-free.
In the evening, Chen Fan specially went back to the teacher's apartment.
In the living room, Wen Wan was mopping the floor.
Seeing Chen Fan, Wen Wan was a little surprised.
"I thought you weren't coming back to stay for these few days."
Chen Fan smiled, "But this is the place I'm renting, why wouldn't I come back?"
Wen Wan felt a little awkward.
"That's not what I meant, I meant..."
Originally she wanted to explain seriously for a couple of sentences, but then she just dropped it.
Wen Wan directly changed the question.
"Have you found a new place to live?"
Chen Fan shook his head, "No, I haven't had time to look recently."
He walked over and opened the fridge, taking out a bottle of mineral water.
"Want some?"
Seeing Wen Wan shake her head, Chen Fan took the water and sat down on the sofa alone.
"The house is going to be sold anyway, why are you mopping it so carefully?"
However, Wen Wan looked very serious, "It doesn't matter whether it's being sold or not. I've lived in this house for over twenty or thirty years since I was little, and my parents lived here for most of their lives... it has sentimental value."
"I want to give the house a good clean before I leave, and at the same time, I hope the new buyer will take good care of this house..."
Chen Fan smiled, "Actually, you don't have to leave."
Seeing Wen Wan look puzzled, Chen Fan took the initiative to provide the answer.
"Liu Weijie was fired by the school."
"Huh?" Wen Wan seemed a little surprised.
So Chen Fan briefly introduced the dirt on Liu Weijie.
"There was no way to protect him, the school cut ties with him very cleanly. I estimate that Teacher Liu has probably been taken away by the police to assist in the investigation by now."
Chen Fan looked at Wen Wan, "With his scandal exposed, the previous slander against you should be invalidated, right?"
"So you don't have to leave, do you?"
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"It's no use, I've already submitted my resignation."
Chen Fan didn't understand, "Don't you want to continue teaching here?"
"It's not that."
Wen Wan put the mop back in the bucket and walked over to sit on the opposite sofa.
"Actually... I quite enjoyed my time here, but my decision to resign had little to do with Liu's slander. Or rather, his slander only provided a little impetus that finally made me determined."
Wen Wan looked at Chen Fan and smiled slightly.
"I told you last time, I want to take my mom traveling while she's still lucid..."
Chen Fan rubbed his hands, not expecting that Wen Wan still intended to leave.
"When are you leaving?"
Wen Wan smiled bitterly, "The house hasn't been sold yet."
Chen Fan asked curiously, "No potential buyers?"
Wen Wan shook her head, "The price of this house isn't cheap, and its location is inside the school area, so the target buyers can only be the school's young teachers..."
"Yesterday, there was a couple of young teachers who came to see it, but after viewing the house they didn't follow up. I think they probably felt the house was a bit old..."
Chen Fan nodded, "I heard the school is about to build new faculty housing, and teachers will get internal discounts for purchasing. So in that case, without any special reasons, they really have no reason to buy your house..."
After hearing Chen Fan's words, a hint of worry appeared on Wen Wan's face.
Clearly, she didn't expect selling a house would be so troublesome.
Seeing her looking anxious and worried, Chen Fan smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, there will be a way."
Wen Wan nodded gloomily.
"I hope so."
That night, lying on the bed in the study room, Chen Fan tossed and turned, unable to sleep, his mind wide awake.
He was considering something.
Should he buy this house?
To be honest, apart from being a bit old, Chen Fan really liked this house.
First, the house was big, with two floors, and the price was reasonable.
Second, the house was well-maintained, no need for renovation at all, he could just move in immediately.
Third, Chen Fan often had work that was inconvenient to do in the dorm room, and the house in Yuhai Family Garden he just bought was too far away.
This house was right inside the school, which was perfect.
Most importantly, Chen Fan knew that in a little over a year, the hugely impactful Lung Iodine epidemic would come to China.
At that time, all schools across the country would have to implement closed-off management, and he wouldn't be able to go out. This house could then be used for many things.
Of course, setting aside all those reasons, just looking at Wen Wan and her mother's situation, Chen Fan also wanted to help them out.
To be honest, they hadn't known each other for very long and weren't that familiar, but after the heart-to-heart talk over drinks last time, Chen Fan really understood Wen Wan.
Perhaps their psychological ages were closer.
Of course, Chen Fan didn't have any other feelings for Wen Wan, he just felt...
A good person shouldn't suffer like this.
In the morning when Chen Fan got up and opened the door, Wen Wan was already eating breakfast.
"I bought a breakfast for you too."
"Thank you." Chen Fan poked his head out from the bathroom while brushing his teeth.
"Teacher Wen, come back for a bit during lunch break today."
"Ah?"
Seeing Wen Wan's puzzled look, Chen Fan smiled and teased her.
"I'll introduce you to someone interested in buying the house during lunch."
Wen Wan's face immediately lit up with joy.
"Really?"
Chen Fan smiled: "Let's set it for 1pm, right after lunch."
Wen Wan quickly nodded.
"Okay. I'll definitely be here."
After washing up and casually eating a couple of deep-fried dough sticks, Chen Fan went out and called Ma Xiaoshuai.
He borrowed Ma's keys, then drove Ma's flashy red BMW straight to the bank branch.
Zhou Xiuna was still in her standard office lady attire, and when she saw Chen Fan, she showed a professional smile.
"Mr. Chen, you're here."
Chen Fan nodded, "I'm here to withdraw money. I made an appointment yesterday."
"Okay, please follow me."
She brought Chen Fan to the VIP counter, and Chen Fan handed over his bank card.
"Please check how much money is left on this card."
"You have 875,348 yuan and 3 mao left on this card."
Chen Fan thought in his mind.
Previously, setting up the club had almost drained his savings.
This 800,000 yuan was what he had earned back from the two internet cafes after the club's opening, over this period of time.
He needed to withdraw 500,000 yuan to give to Liang Shichu to start a company, and withdraw 300,000 yuan to buy Wen Wan's house.
In the blink of an eye, it would all be gone again.
Fortunately, the three shops were earning money for him every day.
Otherwise, at Chen Fan's spending rate, he would probably have gone bankrupt long ago.
"Mr. Chen?" Seeing Chen Fan spacing out, Zhou Xiuna couldn't help but gently call out to him.
Chen Fan snapped out of it and calmly spoke.
"Help me withdraw 800,000 yuan, separated into one stack of 300,000 and one of 500,000. In cash."
