Chapter 311: Welcome to the Human World
In order to let his wife accompany him for a couple more days during the summer vacation, Chen Fan really went all out this time.
First, he went to visit Professor Chen who taught economics and management.
This was the professor Chen Fan was most familiar with. Last time, Chen Fan almost failed his class due to prolonged absences, but luckily Professor Chen showed understanding when he learned that Chen Fan was engaged in entrepreneurship.
Armed with the note from Professor Chen, Chen Fan went to meet with his other major course professors one by one.
He started with an apology, then explained that he was doing off-campus entrepreneurship. At this point, the professors would usually inquire briefly about Chen Fan's business project.
Upon learning that Medal Club was founded by Chen Fan, the professors would generally look at him with increased regard.
And when they found out that Feifan Technology was also started by Chen Fan, the way all the professors looked at him changed completely.
They realized they had a genius among their students.
Although Feifan Technology was a newly founded internet company less than two years old, its product Feifan Antivirus had already become the undisputed leader in the domestic antivirus field, far ahead of its competitors.
Moreover, it was rumored that Feifan Technology's profits from Feifan Antivirus' paid subscription alone reached tens of millions per month.
It was undoubtedly a high-tech company brimming with potential.
Yunhai City didn't lack large enterprises, but most of them were state-owned or asset-heavy companies.
There wasn't a single emerging internet company.
The Yunhai government had even held meetings specifically to study this issue.
Now, suddenly, there was Feifan Technology in Yunhai, an internet company that had developed entirely on its own without any policy support.
One could imagine how delighted the leaders were and how much they favored Feifan Technology.
Although the veteran professors didn't have such utilitarian concerns, they still felt a sense of pride when they learned that one of their students had such talent.
At this point, Chen Fan only needed to maintain a humble attitude. The professors would usually smile and offer a few words of encouragement, essentially resolving the exam issue.
After leaving the last major course professor's office, Chen Fan heaved a long sigh of relief.
He had finally settled everything.
Next was the summer exams, and Chen Fan managed to get through the two long days of testing.
Among his roommates, Luo Wenjie was unfazed as he had already failed some courses last semester.
Now earning thousands per month, Luo Wenjie didn't care about failing courses anymore.
Sun Hao and Han Xu studied well and didn't need to worry about failing.
Unexpectedly, the one most concerned about exams was Wu Di.
This guy had spent last semester either pursuing romance or socializing at the student union, falling behind in his studies.
During exams, he sat there scratching his head, likely facing course failures.
Just as Chen Fan left the exam hall and turned on his phone, he received a text message from Wen Wan.
"There's news about the script."
Seeing this message, Chen Fan immediately called Wen Wan's number.
"Hello..."
Wen Wan's voice was soft on the other end, seeming a bit nervous.
Chen Fan urgently asked, "How did it go? What's the result?"
"They bought the script for 'Hero'."
Wen Wan answered in a light tone, her voice sounding unnatural, as if uneasy that she had passed off Chen Fan's script as her own work just to get a job.
This made Wen Wan quite embarrassed, unsure of how to face Chen Fan.
But Chen Fan didn't care about such matters at all.
"How much did they pay for it?"
Wen Wan didn't hesitate and said directly, "35,000 yuan."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and nodded.
"That price is acceptable. Once you become truly famous in the future, your value will skyrocket even more."
However, Wen Wan quickly said, "I'm already very satisfied with this price. In fact, I didn't expect to sell it for such a high price."
"When I went there initially, my mental price was 12,000 yuan. I didn't expect the other party's boss to offer 35,000 yuan right off the bat. I didn't dare to bargain and just agreed immediately."
Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh. He had originally thought Wen Wan was skilled at this, otherwise he would have gone himself.
However, since the contract was already signed, Chen Fan naturally didn't want to say anything discouraging.
"This fully shows that they have an eye for talent and really value this script."
"Yeah. I could tell they really liked this script."
Wen Wan's tone also rose considerably. "Oh right, they really did follow your suggestion and plan to invite Zhang Yimou to direct this film."
Chen Fan: "The boss told you that?"
Wen Wan: "No. Yesterday they invited me to the script discussion meeting. After half a day of discussion, they felt Zhang Yimou was the most suitable director."
Chen Fan smiled: "Only Old Master Zhang can direct this script properly. No one else can capture that essence."
"However, they were probably just saying that. The film company in Yunhai is too small in scale. They don't have the capability to support the investment required for such a major film production."
On the other end of the phone, Wen Wan looked puzzled.
"Then why did they even buy this script?"
Chen Fan: "You're so naive. They can just resell it."
"They bought it from you for 35,000 yuan, and later they can sell it to another company for 200,000 yuan. Just by flipping it, they make a clean profit of 165,000 yuan."
"Of course, if I were their boss, I wouldn't sell this script. I'd raise investment and collaborate with other film companies to share the risk."
Despite Chen Fan's teasing remark, Wen Wan didn't get angry. Instead, she was in a good mood and even showed a rare smile.
"I can't believe you're so young yet seem to understand everything."
Chen Fan: "Of course. Who am I? I'm a genius."
"Well, thank you then, genius classmate."
After saying that, Wen Wan suddenly burst into laughter, amused by her own words.
It seemed that her biggest worry had been resolved, and her mood had improved significantly, to the point of unexpectedly joking with Chen Fan.
However, Wen Wan then said in a low voice, "Um... there's one more thing I need to tell you."
Chen Fan smiled: "Go ahead."
Wen Wan: "Um... when I went there, I told them... I told them I was a member of Commoner."
"I'm sorry."
"What's there to apologize for? Didn't I instruct you to say that before?"
"At least it helps raise your perceived value."
"In any case, thank you."
Wen Wan was really in a great mood, her excitement palpable even over the phone.
"Oh, I almost forgot one more thing."
"I told them that I previously studied directing and screenwriting in university."
"The company extended me an invitation, asking if I was interested in working for them."
Chen Fan curiously asked, "Did you agree?"
"I agreed."
Wen Wan answered cheerfully, "The salary conditions they offered were very good. I'm satisfied."
"And they told me that after joining the company, I can start as a screenwriter, and later on, there may even be opportunities to work as a directing assistant or an actress..."
At this point, Wen Wan laughed.
"To be honest, I used to look down on such things and consider myself above it all, but now... I really like it. Because this is an opportunity for me."
After hearing this, Chen Fan smiled.
"The fact that you can say that proves that the goddess who was once regarded as high and mighty by my classmates has finally descended to the human world."
"Welcome to the human world."
