Chapter 336: Bad Idea
Seeing these two people entering the room like they were returning to their own home and starting to set the table, Chen Fan shook his head and went alone to the bathroom to wash his face.
When he came out, these two fellows had already started drinking a can of beer each.
"Want some white wine?"
Chen Fan opened the fridge door and took out a bottle of white wine and a bottle of red wine.
"Damn, as expected of a rich guy, you have such good wine hidden at home." Luo Wenjie directly stood up and snatched it over.
Chen Fan explained with a smile, "I bought it with my girlfriend at the supermarket before."
"Hey, you two are quite romantic."
Chen Fan sat down, Ma Xiaoshuai passed him a can of beer.
"You look quite tired."
Chen Fan grinned, "I went back to my hometown and paid a visit to my future father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Ah?"
Ma Xiaoshuai and the other widened their eyes.
"You went to her home?"
"What did they say?"
Chen Fan smiled, "The process was a bit complicated, but fortunately, the result was good."
"They agreed to our relationship."
"Damn! That's great news, let's toast for old Chen."
"Come on, cheers, congratulations to old Chen."
The three of them clinked their cans with a smile.
Chen Fan took a big gulp and looked at the table full of dishes. Without using chopsticks, he reached out and grabbed a piece of beef.
"I haven't eaten lunch yet, I'm starving."
"No one is snatching it from you," Ma Xiaoshuai joked and then asked, "By the way, what did you mean on the phone? Is it really my family's truck fleet?"
Chen Fan nodded, "At least I saw 'Qianli Ma Transportation Fleet' printed on the truck."
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, "Then it must be right."
Then he showed a frustrated expression.
"Damn. Who would have thought that even before graduation, I would end up working for you."
Chen Fan laughed and cursed, "Get lost. Those mud trucks of yours are the real 'the roar of acceleration, worth a million gold.'"
Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head bitterly, "It's not that easy."
"This line of business is usually controlled by those street-smart guys who can maneuver in both the legitimate and underground worlds."
"It's not easy for my dad to persevere until now, and every year he has to pay a large portion of the profits to the little punks from both sides... Basically, it's just earning a hard-earned income."
On the side, Luo Wenjie looked at the two of them in surprise.
"What are you two talking about? I don't understand."
Ma Xiaoshuai was not sure if Chen Fan had told Luo Wenjie about starting a new club, so he just cursed with a laugh.
"Just drink your beer. It has nothing to do with you."
Chen Fan then looked over.
"How's your love life going, Brother Jie?"
Hearing this, Luo Wenjie immediately pulled a bitter face and stammered without saying a word.
Ma Xiaoshuai spoke for him.
"He and Liu Qianqian have broken up completely. Now he's gotten together with Li Jiao."
"Li Jiao has already moved out of the school dorm. She's directly living in the apartment Brother Jie rented outside."
After saying that, he glanced at Luo Wenjie.
"The little lovebirds are having a great time living together now."
Chen Fan laughed, "How do you know so clearly?"
"Of course, my girlfriend is in the same dorm as them."
Luo Wenjie said speechlessly, "I'm telling you, it's been so long, how can you still hold a grudge?"
Ma Xiaoshuai snorted.
"You ruined the reputation of our dorm, shouldn't you be scolded..."
Luo Wenjie immediately raised his hands in surrender, "Alright, alright, handsome guy, I was wrong, okay?"
Chen Fan ignored the bickering between the two and finished gnawing on a chicken wing, then wiped his mouth with a piece of paper.
"After the summer vacation, we'll be third-year students. We're already halfway through university."
"What are your plans? Do you want to prepare for the postgraduate entrance exams?"
"No way."
The two of them almost answered in unison.
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled, "I'm someone who doesn't like studying by nature. Pursuing a postgraduate degree doesn't suit me. I believe in being content with what one has."
Luo Wenjie also smiled and chimed in, "Let's leave the high-end stuff like pursuing a postgraduate degree to the studious people. For a poor student like me, being able to get into Yunhai University is already extremely lucky."
"At least you have a sober self-awareness."
Faced with Ma Xiaoshuai's teasing, Luo Wenjie didn't get angry. He shook the can in his hand, bent down and grabbed another one, opening it.
"If I remember correctly, this year happens to be the 70th anniversary of our university's founding, right?"
Chen Fan nodded, "It seems so."
"Do you guys think the school will organize a grand anniversary celebration this year?"
"They should, right?" Ma Xiaoshuai replied afterwards.
Chen Fan carefully pondered.
In his previous life, Yunhai University did hold a large-scale anniversary gala.
At that time, he had just confirmed his relationship with Su Ruochu not long ago.
On the anniversary day, the two of them watched the gala together in the audience.
Luo Wenjie leaned back comfortably on the sofa, looking at the two people in front of him.
"I'm thinking, in our four years of university life here, how many people would be qualified to be invited back during the school's anniversary celebration after graduation?"
"Those alumni who get invited back must be extremely rare, right? Most of us are just like ordinary passersby here, without any notable achievements."
Ma Xiaoshuai disagreed, "That's a bit too extreme, isn't it?"
"Extreme?" Luo Wenjie laughed, "Let me tell you, there are only three types of people who would be invited back."
"The first type is people with an academic halo, either academicians or retired honorary professors who were alumni."
"The second type is people with power. As for the third type, it's people with money, and a lot of money."
Luo Wenjie stared at Ma Xiaoshuai and grinned, "Only these three types of people have a chance to be invited back as honorary alumni, and even have their photos printed in the university's history under the honorary alumni section."
"That's what it means to leave a mark. As for most of us, after we graduate in our senior year, pack up our beddings and leave, this university will no longer have any trace of us..."
"By then, who would still know who you are?"
Ma Xiaoshuai disagreed with Luo Wenjie's point, "Your argument is wrong."
"According to what you said, as long as you leave a major news event at the school, people will remember you. Let me give you an idea."
"Why don't you go streaking on campus tonight? I guarantee you, even ten or twenty years later, you'll still be that legendary senior brother that the younger students keep talking about."
Luo Wenjie rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Handsome guy, do we have to argue about everything?"
Ma Xiaoshuai laughed mischievously, and at this time, Chen Fan spoke up with a smile.
"Brother Jie, what's up? Why are you so pessimistic and melancholic today? This doesn't fit your usual persona."
Luo Wenjie laughed.
"Just speaking my mind."
"You two, I have an idea, help me strategize."
Luo Wenjie suddenly sat up and said to the two of them with a serious expression.
"I'm planning to sign up for a performance at the anniversary gala."
Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai: "..."
"You want to perform?"
Luo Wenjie looked down at the can in his hand.
"I just want to go up and sing a song, as a way to put an end to my first love in university."
"What do you guys think?"
Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head with a wry smile, "Not good? That's a bad idea."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan immediately understood.
Luo Wenjie wanted to take advantage of the gala to sing a song for Liu Qianqian.
Although he didn't know what song Luo Wenjie wanted to sing, Chen Fan guessed that Liu Qianqian would definitely understand.
Looking at Brother Jie again, Chen Fan thought that it seemed like he still hadn't completely let go of her.
However, Luo Wenjie's proposal just now made Chen Fan suddenly have an idea.
He had always wanted to leave some happy memories for Su Ruochu's university life.
What if he also went on stage and sang a song for her at that time?
