Chapter 280: Brothers Turning Against Each Other?
It had been nearly two months since the new year started, but Chen Fan still hadn't gone to the classroom.
And for some reason, he felt like he was getting busier this year.
In the faculty apartments, it was rare to have time alone with Su Ruochu for half a day.
After this summer vacation, everyone would be preparing to become third-year students.
Unlike Chen Fan's listless state, Su Ruochu, being a top student, had already started preparing to take third-year and even fourth-year credits in advance.
Su Ruochu's plan was to try to complete all the university credits in one year during the third year, so that she could graduate a year early and then prepare for graduate school.
Chen Fan naturally supported Su Ruochu's plan.
And he had set himself a three-year plan as well.
He hoped that before Su Ruochu graduated, he could multiply his personal assets several times over, reaching at least a hundred billion yuan.
Of course, the most likely way for Chen Fan to achieve this goal would be through Feifan Technology.
However, the physical company that Chen Fan was about to prepare could also usher in a new wave of development.
The two of them had long since learned to interact like an old married couple.
Su Ruochu was studying on the balcony with her laptop, while Chen Fan, wearing an apron, would sometimes cut up some fruit and serve it to her, and sometimes pour her a glass of juice.
To avoid disturbing Su Ruochu's studies, Chen Fan sat on the sofa and muted the television.
At that moment, a news report appeared on the television screen.
"Last night, a brawl occurred on Huaqi Street in Yunhai District of our city. According to eyewitnesses at the scene, at least dozens of people were involved in the fight, and several were seriously injured and hospitalized. The Yunhai District Police Station is taking this matter very seriously and is now seeking clues from citizens. Citizens with clues can call the number XXXXXXX..."
Chen Fan watched the fleeting scene on the news and was somewhat surprised.
"Huaqi Street, isn't that the Zhao family's territory?"
When he had previously asked the private investigator Li Yang to investigate Zhao Longqi, Chen Fan had seen the information.
He still remembered that many of the entertainment venues on this Huaqi Street seemed to be businesses owned by the Zhao family.
And one of the bars was even registered under Zhao Longqi's name.
Chen Fan chuckled.
"Could it be that the guy's shop got trashed? If that's true, then he totally deserved it."
"I haven't made a move on my end yet, and this son of a gun has already been dealt with..."
Served him right.
Just then, his phone rang.
He picked it up and glanced at Su Ruochu, who was still studying intently, before walking into the master bedroom.
"Hello."
Ding Dian's voice came from the other end of the line.
"I'm letting you know, there's news from the demolition office."
"They agreed to two of the three plots you marked."
Chen Fan was taken aback, barely containing his excitement.
"Which two?"
"Number one and number three."
Damn!
Chen Fan gasped, those two plots were right along the future Line 2 and Line 3 subway routes, the most prime locations.
And he had just acquired them.
"Good. That's great."
Chen Fan was so excited he almost shouted out loud.
But on the other end of the line, Ding Dian didn't sound pleased, saying, "What's so great? You didn't see the way they looked at me at the demolition office."
"With that enthusiastic attitude, they probably wanted to put me on the altar."
"Using two remote wasteland plots to exchange for several hundred million of funds, they think they've encountered a big fool."
Ding Dian sounded resigned, feeling that Chen Fan was like a prodigal son, casually squandering the several hundred million that should have been obtained.
But Chen Fan reassured her with a smile, "Xiao Ding, you need to look at the bigger picture."
He thought to himself, these weren't just plots of land, they were two gold mines.
If he were to enter the real estate field in the future, he could simply build a few buildings on these two plots. Once the subway lines were planned, good lord, how much would they be worth?
A several hundred million exchanged for tens of billion, this deal was simply too profitable.
Chen Fan instructed Ding Dian, don't worry about anything else for now, spare no effort to get the contracts signed first.
"For the next couple of days, don't bother with the club location, just focus on this matter and get the contracts signed first."
Ding Dian had no choice but to listen to Chen Fan, she muttered softly, "These two plots are too remote, not close to any villages or shops. Even if you build the club there, who's going to come all the way there to spend money?"
Chen Fan smiled, "Who said I was going to build the club on these two plots?"
"Ah? If you're not building the club, why do you need these two plots?"
"Ah, it's hard to explain right now, just get the contracts signed first."
"Got it!" Ding Dian muttered speechlessly.
"Oh right. Old Feng was looking for you this morning, it seemed like he had something to tell you. He couldn't get through at the time, so you should ask him."
"When was this?"
"About an hour ago, I think."
Chen Fan thought that about an hour ago, his phone was charging.
"Okay, got it."
After hanging up, he immediately called Feng Pojun.
"Hey, Old Feng, you were looking for me?"
"Boss, that Zhao Longqi got messed with last night."
Chen Fan was taken aback, "You were tailing him?"
Feng Pojun felt a bit embarrassed.
"The club is gone, but the boss is still running the company for us. This son of a gun has been targeting the boss lately, so I... I just decided to... I just wanted to do something to help the boss."
Chen Fan didn't criticize him, but instead asked curiously, "What happened?"
Seeing that Chen Fan wasn't angry, Old Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Last night, Zhao Longqi's car was smashed, and then someone poured a bucketful of sewage on his head."
"Also, the bar on Huaqi Street that's registered under Zhao Longqi's name was set on fire last night."
Chen Fan laughed, "I just saw it on the news, I wonder which hero acted in defense of justice."
"Boss, this thing has a bit of a connection with your friend."
"Who? Guo Shuai!"
Chen Fan's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
...
An hour later, Chen Fan met Guo Shuai in a remote village courtyard.
As soon as Chen Fan appeared, the few young men who were originally playing cards in the courtyard stood up.
"Who are you? Who let you in?"
"Shut up! He's my brother."
Guo Shuai came running out from the house, shouting a rebuke, then quickly rushed up to Chen Fan.
He rubbed his hands awkwardly, looking a bit sheepish as he faced Chen Fan.
"Brother Fan, you... why are you here?"
This guy had a bruise on his face and bandages on his hands, looking rather disheveled.
Seeing Guo Shuai's appearance, Chen Fan's expression darkened.
"Was it you who beat up Zhao Longqi last night? And the thing on Huaqi Street, was that your doing too?"
Guo Shuai looked sheepish, knowing he couldn't hide it anymore, and nodded with a smile.
"Yeah, that was me."
Chen Fan frowned coldly, "Guo, is this how you 'thought it over' like you promised me?"
"I told you before, as long as you're willing, I can arrange a job for you. Even if you don't want to work for me, whatever you want to do, I can help..."
"You said you'd go back and think it over. But this is how you 'thought it over'?"
Seeing that Chen Fan seemed angry, Guo Shuai smiled awkwardly and dragged a chair over from the side.
"Brother Fan, sit. Don't get mad first."
"Damn it!"
Chen Fan kicked the chair over with one foot, grabbed Guo Shuai's collar angrily.
"How can I not get mad?"
"Guo, you've just gotten out of prison, you know. Are you really prepared to mess around like this and land yourself back in there?"
