Chapter 272: Welcome Back
Since the specific demolition and relocation compensation plan had not been announced yet, Chen Fan did not rush to select a location for the new club.
After handing over all the work to Ding Dian, Chen Fan took some time off to meet Li Yang.
"Are you interested in staying?"
After meeting, Chen Fan straightforwardly expressed his intention to recruit Li Yang.
Today, to entertain the other party, Chen Fan specially chose a relatively upscale restaurant as the meeting place.
There were only three people in the private room, Chen Fan also brought Feng Pojun, as the relationship between the two as war buddies allowed him to speak up.
Li Yang's detective skills were what Chen Fan needed.
So he wanted him to stay, that way in the future, whenever he wanted to investigate something, it would not be so troublesome.
Li Yang stared at Chen Fan for a moment and grinned.
"First of all, thank you Mr. Chen for your appreciation."
"To be honest, I do dirty work, things that cannot see the light of day. So it's not appropriate for me to stay."
"Especially after investigating the Zhao family, who is a major family of Yunhai."
"If I stay, it's very likely that the Zhao family will find out about my relationship with you. This would be very disadvantageous for you."
These words were reasonable and logical.
However, Li Yang continued: "Of course, although I won't be by your side Mr. Chen, if you ever need my help in the future, just ask, and I will do my utmost."
After saying that, Li Yang raised his glass towards Chen Fan in a toast, and drank it all.
Chen Fan smiled and agreed to his proposal.
"Then here's to a pleasant cooperation this time."
Li Yang left Yunhai that day.
The next day, Chen Fan received a call from Ding Dian.
On the phone, Ding Dian told Chen Fan that she had received a call from Hai Laosi.
The other party said he wanted to return the club to him, and the previous purchase contract would be void.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan laughed.
He estimated that this was probably orchestrated by Zhao Longqi, and only that brainless fool could do such a thing.
"Tell him. A contract signed in black and white cannot be canceled."
"If he's not convinced, then we'll go to court. We'll go all the way."
After this matter, Ding Dian also asked Chen Fan when he had time to visit the studio.
The demolition and relocation compensation documents would be out soon, and they had also collected a lot of suggestions from everyone regarding the club's plans, needing the big boss himself to take a look.
However, Chen Fan directly refused.
"You take a look first, and filter out the valuable suggestions."
Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, Chen Fan quietly moved the phone away from his ear.
"I'm not slacking off, I really do have something important today."
"Okay, okay, I promise I'll definitely go to the meeting tomorrow, alright?"
"I'm hanging up now. I'm driving."
Chen Fan hung up and turned to Su Ruochu sitting in the passenger seat, grinning.
"Even though the club is gone, why do I feel busier than before?"
Su Ruochu smiled, "I heard you say on the phone that Zhao Longqi wanted to return the club?"
Chen Fan snickered.
"That's right. This guy has lost big this time."
"What exactly happened?" Su Ruochu asked curiously.
So Chen Fan briefly explained the situation.
After listening, Su Ruochu was dumbfounded.
"You mean because of the demolition, he might lose all 26 million?"
Chen Fan nodded: "Correct. I'm wondering what Zhao Longqi's mood is like right now."
Su Ruochu looked incredulous.
"How could there be such a coincidence? You didn't know about this in advance, did you?"
Chen Fan smiled smugly: "Of course. Don't you see how awesome your husband is?"
"Pah! I don't believe it. Such projects are decided by meetings upstairs, how could you possibly influence a city's renovation project."
Su Ruochu did not believe Chen Fan's words and shook her head, considering it a coincidence.
However, this coincidence allowed Chen Fan to gain an extra 26 million.
"By the way..." Su Ruochu suddenly remembered something, "What about the demolition compensation? You should get a good amount too, right?"
Chen Fan nodded: "Indeed."
"How much?" Su Ruochu asked curiously.
"Enough to support you for life."
"Hmph. I won't let you support me. I can support myself."
After saying that, Su Ruochu felt a bit anxious, "Chen Fan, I'm actually a bit scared now. You're only a sophomore but advancing so quickly, I'm afraid... I won't be able to keep up with you in the future."
Chen Fan smiled and turned to look at her, "Hey hey, what's this? Our ever confident class beauty is feeling insecure?"
Su Ruochu turned her head to look out the window.
Chen Fan joked while driving, "Tell the truth, are you worried I'll change my heart in the future?"
Su Ruochu pouted: "Online they say men change after getting money."
"Especially after getting rich, there will be more and more beautiful women around them..."
"That's a bit too absolute, isn't it?" Chen Fan looked disdainful, then seriously explained to Su Ruochu: "Actually, men can also easily go bad without money."
Su Ruochu glared angrily: "Then tell me, how many beautiful women are around you now?"
"None at all."
Chen Fan raised one hand: "I can swear on this, the only beautiful woman around me is Su Ruochu."
"You'd think beautiful women are all blind, with such a handsome guy like me here, how come no one has pounced on me?"
Su Ruochu snorted, "It's only because I pitied you back then that I reluctantly agreed to your pursuit."
"Thanks to the ladies for taking me in. My lady, this young master has been struck by an aphrodisiac, I must have you suck it out with your mouth, otherwise..."
"Get out, get out..."
The two chatted and joked all the way out of Yunhai city, and it took more than an hour to reach their destination.
Chen Fan parked the car by the roadside, and then got out with Su Ruochu.
After getting out, their expressions became much more serious, looking up at the tall wall and dark iron gate across the street.
"Did you call his girlfriend?"
Chen Fan looked at the cold steel gate across the street and felt uncomfortable.
He fumbled in his pockets for a while, and even went back to the car to search. Sure enough, he found a pack of cigarettes left by Ma Xiaoshuai in the car.
He took one out, lit it, and took a deep drag, forcibly suppressing his excited mood.
Su Ruochu nodded: "I called a few days ago, but couldn't get through."
"I tried again today, and I feel like she may have changed her number..."
Chen Fan nodded: "Never mind that for now."
Su Ruochu asked nervously, "We forgot to buy flowers."
"Flowers?"
Chen Fan smiled, "Him being able to have me come pick him up in person is already his blessing. Besides, he's not a beautiful woman, why would I buy him flowers."
As he spoke, a teeth-gritting sound came from the iron gate across the street, and the gate slowly opened.
A young man with a crew cut, carrying a simple suitcase, walked out from behind the high wall.
Standing at the gate, he first bowed to the two prison guards beside him.
Then he turned and stepped out of the prison.
Looking up, he immediately saw Chen Fan and Su Ruochu on this side.
Chen Fan smiled, threw away the cigarette in his hand, and stepped forward to welcome him.
