Chapter 300: The Corner Bar, Meeting Again
Through this meal, Chen Fan and Pang Longhai had become familiar with each other.
From initially using each other, they became friends they could trust.
They were both very satisfied after finishing the meal.
When leaving, Pang Longhai patted Chen Fan's shoulder.
"Brother. You will be clear about what kind of person I am from now on."
"I feel very guilty about what happened last time...I won't say much, just watch my actions in the future."
Chen Fan could see that Pang Longhai was a bit drunk, so he smiled and nodded.
"Brother Pang, since we are brothers now, there's no need to mention the past, right? It makes things awkward."
"You're right. Well said."
Chen Fan helped him out and hailed a taxi.
"Brother Pang, you go first."
Pang Longhai held Chen Fan's hand and advised, "Brother Chen, let me know whenever you're opening the new club. I'll definitely come and support you."
"Definitely, definitely!"
Chen Fan smiled, helped him close the car door, and waved goodbye.
After seeing Pang Longhai leave, Chen Fan restrained his smile and took a deep breath.
He hadn't been in Yunhai for long, although he had some business, he had no foundation.
That's why the Zhao family, even the wastrel Zhao Longqi, could shut down his internet cafe with just a casual remark.
Pang Longhai's identity wasn't powerful, but as the saying goes, "A third-rank official before the prime minister's door." For some matters, Pang Longhai could indeed help.
For example, if some small-time thugs caused trouble again, with Pang Longhai's connections, Chen Fan wouldn't have to be as embarrassed as before.
This was Chen Fan's first personal connection in Yunhai, so he took it very seriously.
"Phew...next, I'll prepare for the club."
After muttering to himself, Chen Fan didn't hail a taxi but walked along the street, sobering up while considering his next plans.
Currently, his businesses included First Encounter Internet Cafe, which was still operating, while Starry Sky Internet Cafe had been demolished.
Feifan Technology was still researching the Security Guard according to his previous plan.
Next, he would likely be busy with the new club.
The summer vacation was coming soon, Chen Fan's second summer break in university. After this vacation, he would enter his third year.
Chen Fan had no interest in pursuing a master's, doctorate, or civil service job.
He attended this university purely to accompany Su Ruochu and give his parents an explanation.
After graduation, he planned to focus on running his company.
Chen Fan considered himself an ordinary person. He had no lofty ideals or desire to change the world or benefit humanity.
His dream was to make money, a lot of money, so that the people around him could live well.
That would make this life worthwhile.
Lost in these thoughts, Chen Fan unconsciously looked up and noticed a woman arguing with a bar employee at the entrance of a bar ahead.
Across the street, Chen Fan felt that figure looked familiar.
Until he heard her speak, Chen Fan suddenly froze in disbelief.
"You said the pay was weekly, you can fire me, but you must pay my salary."
The woman, wearing a red dress and holding a guitar case, stood at the bar entrance looking pitiful and slender.
The bar manager stood on the steps, sneering coldly.
"Pay you? Hmph. You still want money?"
"You should be glad I'm not asking you for money."
"In the few days you worked here, look at the crap you were playing. Not a single customer liked it, you chased them all away."
"I really suspect you were a spy sent by a competitor."
The woman shook her head: "I only want the salary that belongs to me."
"Want my ass, get out of here! Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a woman."
The manager turned to look at the two guards at the entrance.
"Watch the entrance for me, if she dares to come in, beat her up."
After saying that, the manager went back inside.
The woman stood at the entrance, hesitating for a few seconds. Just as she was about to step onto the stairs, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Teacher...Wen?"
Wen Wan's body trembled, and she quickly turned around to see Chen Fan standing behind her.
Wen Wan's expression changed, showing surprise, delight, nervousness, and embarrassment.
Chen Fan walked over excitedly.
"It really is you. I thought the figure looked familiar from across the street, but I didn't expect it to actually be you..."
Chen Fan's words suddenly stopped because he noticed Wen Wan's embarrassment.
"What's wrong?"
Recalling the few sentences he overheard earlier, Chen Fan immediately realized.
"Did they not pay you? Let me go find them."
Chen Fan was about to step into the bar.
"Chen Fan!"
Wen Wan was startled and hurried to block Chen Fan. After gritting her teeth, she grabbed Chen Fan's hand and tried to leave.
"They dare not pay you? I'll help you get it back."
Wen Wan sounded anxious, "Can you listen to me for once and leave first?"
Chen Fan looked into her eyes and saw panic and pleading.
Chen Fan had no choice but to compromise and let Wen Wan lead him away from the scene.
After turning the corner and walking some distance, Wen Wan realized she was still holding Chen Fan's hand. She let go as if electrocuted, with a blush appearing on her fair face.
Chen Fan had something on his mind and didn't notice this scene.
"What's going on? When did you come back?"
"And you were...working at that bar? Why did you need them to pay you?"
Chen Fan fired several questions in a row, but Wen Wan kept her head down without answering.
Seeming to feel the awkward atmosphere, Wen Wan took a deep breath and mustered the courage to look at Chen Fan.
"Let's not stand here anymore, it's getting late, you should head back early."
However, Chen Fan took a step forward to block her.
"No. Something's off. You're acting very strange."
"What happened? Why are you back?"
"Even if you don't see me as a friend, I'm at least your tenant, right? We even rented together for a while."
"You won't even tell me?"
Hearing this, Wen Wan's expression changed slightly.
But Chen Fan was exceptionally firm.
"If you don't explain everything to me, I won't let you leave today."
Wen Wan took a deep breath, seeming to have no choice but to deal with Chen Fan.
"You...aren't you worried about not making it back to the dorms this late?"
Chen Fan grinned: "I've been living in an apartment recently, you forgot? The one you sold to me."
Mentioning the apartment, a hint of nostalgia flashed in Wen Wan's eyes.
After a two-second silence, Wen Wan finally spoke.
"Since you're not worried about the time, let's find somewhere to sit."
"Sure."
Chen Fan had just eaten dinner and originally planned to find a tea house or cafe, but in the end, Wen Wan led him into a random noodle shop on the street.
After sitting down, Wen Wan told the owner, "Owner, one small bowl of beef noodles."
"Got it."
While the owner prepared the noodles, Chen Fan looked across at Wen Wan.
"Tell me what happened."
