Screech.
A car came to a sudden halt, and Ma Xiaoshuai jumped out of it.
"Are you okay?"
Ma Xiaoshuai greeted Chen Fan first, then looked towards Zhao Longqi.
"What's the deal, picking a fight? Want to practice a bit?"
Zhao Longqi gave Ma Xiaoshuai a glance, then turned his gaze towards Chen Fan and suddenly laughed.
Without even looking at Xu Qiuci, he turned and walked towards his own car.
"Kid, let's see what happens."
"Hope you don't regret it."
As he left, Zhao Longqi left those words behind.
Ma Xiaoshuai directly flipped him off with his middle finger.
But then he turned back to Chen Fan with a worried expression.
"What's going on? How did you get tangled up with this guy again?"
Chen Fan gave a wry smile, "Do you think I wanted this?"
Xu Qiuci felt a bit embarrassed on the side.
"Sorry, I got you involved in this."
Chen Fan shook his head, "It has nothing to do with you. There was already a conflict between him and me. Even if you weren't here today, we would still have ended up in a confrontation."
Xu Qiuci felt that Chen Fan was just trying to comfort her, so she felt even more embarrassed.
"Alright. Let's not talk about that for now. Senior Sister, why don't you come back with us?"
Xu Qiuci thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Ma Xiaoshuai drove, and Chen Fan sat in the back with Xu Qiuci.
Seeing that she still seemed a bit embarrassed, Chen Fan took the initiative to start a conversation.
"I haven't seen Senior Sister Mo Siyu for a while. Has she graduated?"
Xu Qiuci smiled, "Siyu recently just completed her thesis defense and is currently busy with her internship."
"Ah, she's graduated already." Chen Fan felt nostalgic, "When I first entered the university, the first person I met was Senior Sister Mo Siyu. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly that she's already graduated."
Xu Qiuci smiled but didn't respond.
When they reached the university, Xu Qiuci got off at the gate. Ma Xiaoshuai asked with a smile, "Sister, do you want me to pick you up by car tomorrow and go to the driving school together?"
Xu Qiuci smiled and shook her head, "No need. I'll just take my own car."
Ma Xiaoshuai wanted to say something more, but Chen Fan covered his mouth and waved at Xu Qiuci with a smile.
"See you later, sister."
"Why did you do that? It was such a good opportunity." Ma Xiaoshuai complained to Chen Fan as he drove.
Chen Fan looked out the window and suddenly seemed delighted.
"Hey? Isn't that Song Linlin?"
"Where? Where?" Ma Xiaoshuai was startled and looked around frantically.
Finally realizing he had been tricked, he gave Chen Fan a sullen look.
"You little brat, that's not cool."
"Alright. Just focus on driving."
"You clearly know there's no chance with her, but you still insist on chatting her up."
Ma Xiaoshuai, however, had a "you don't understand" expression.
"What do you understand? Do you understand what 'food and color' means? Do you understand what 'men and women working together' means?"
"Does being around beautiful women only mean thinking about that kind of thing? Pervert!"
"I'm just appreciating beauty with my eyes. Looking at beautiful women can make one's mood pleasant."
Chen Fan nodded along as this guy rambled on.
"I see, it seems I was being shallow. It looks like I still have a lot to learn."
Ma Xiaoshuai chuckled with satisfaction.
"Kid, you've got a lot to learn."
...
The next day, driving school exam.
For Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai, such an exam presented no difficulty.
They easily passed the test items for Subjects 2 and 3, obtaining their driver's licenses by noon that day.
Ma Xiaoshuai was very excited, as he wouldn't have to be terrified of being caught by the traffic police every time he drove from now on.
Waving his license at Chen Fan, he joked, "What do you say, should we buy a car?"
To be honest, Chen Fan was a bit tempted.
However, he had to discuss it with Su Ruochu first, because Su Ruochu had previously made it clear that she didn't want to be too high-profile during college.
Chen Fan had even thought, if it really didn't work out, maybe he could just use one of the cars from the club.
The last time he asked Ding Dian to buy cars, Ding Dian compared options and eventually bought three cars for the club.
One was an Audi A6 costing over 400,000 yuan, one was an Accord costing over 200,000 yuan, and the remaining one was a van.
But this idea was dismissed as soon as it came up, because Chen Fan had originally said these cars were for the club.
Time passed into November, and Chen Fan's life became much more regular.
The Cheat Studio had entered its normal routine, and with the rising popularity of 'Legend of Mir', the studio's cheats had gained a head start.
Seeing the steadily increasing amounts, Luo Wenjie and Zhou Honghai felt a sense of unreality.
Now the studio's monthly profit was almost surpassing the business revenue of Chen Fan's family internet cafe.
For the two internet cafes, Chen Fan had Ding Dian rehire two managers, and with nothing much happening, Chen Fan rarely went to those two shops anymore.
It was foreseeable that in the future, as Chen Fan's career progressed, these two internet cafes would only become more and more marginalized.
On the club side, with the opening of the haunted house, the club's business revenue saw another surge.
With Ding Dian overseeing it, Chen Fan was quite at ease about this.
The only thing that occupied his mind was Feifan Technology.
With the explosive popularity of Feifan Antivirus, Feifan Technology became the new internet darling.
Everyone had been in an extremely excited state during this period.
However, Chen Fan remained very sober.
That day, Chen Fan came to the office to talk privately with Liang Shichu.
"Taking advantage of Feifan Antivirus' popularity, we can start preparing to develop the next product."
Liang Shichu poured Chen Fan a cup of coffee.
"Do you have any ideas?"
Chen Fan nodded.
"I do have an idea recently. I plan for the company's next product to be called the Feifan Security Guard."
"Security Guard?" Liang Shichu didn't quite understand.
Chen Fan grabbed a sheet of paper from the side, then started writing as he explained.
"Overall, the product we're going to develop is a derivative product based on Feifan Antivirus."
"The key features of this Security Guard are simplicity, convenience, efficiency, and user-friendliness."
"In my opinion, convenience and user-friendliness are the top priorities."
Liang Shichu couldn't help but ask, "So what main functions will this Security Guard have?"
"Computer check-up, trojan removal, computer cleanup, system repair, optimization and acceleration..."
Chen Fan wrote down these functions on the paper, then explained each one to him.
"Remember, all of these functions must be highly efficient and convenient, requiring just one or two mouse clicks from the user to complete all operations."
"You have to understand, most domestic computer users are computer novices. If the software operation is too complicated, it will increase the difficulty of use for them."
Chen Fan looked up at Liang Shichu, "So our Security Guard must be as simple as possible, as easy to use as possible."
Liang Shichu's eyes flickered, clearly excited.
"If we really develop this Security Guard as you described, then I can foresee that it will definitely attract users."
"Because currently on the market, there is no similar software like this at all."
Liang Shichu looked at Chen Fan with some excitement.
"If...if we really succeed in developing it, what will our pricing model be?"
Chen Fan smiled.
"This software will be free of charge."
"Completely free!"
Liang Shichu was stunned.
"Not...not charging fees?"
