After a series of operations, Security Guard, which had already slowed down in download speed, once again saw an explosive growth.
Not only that, but Go Navigation Home, the game 《Blood Battle on Shanghai Beach》, and Security Guard's data all began to skyrocket.
Even Feifan Antivirus software, which had no connection to the game, saw a certain amount of growth.
This series of operations directly shocked everyone.
Even within Feifan Technology, a group of employees were completely stunned.
The boss's sharp operational methods were simply too impressive.
From start to finish, the boss hadn't even come to the company, but with just a few words, he managed to cause a storm on the internet, and the company's profit rate directly skyrocketed several times over these few days.
As for Chen Fan, the person involved, he hadn't been paying attention to online information these days.
This winter vacation back home was the most relaxed one he had ever had.
Bringing back gifts that Su Ruochu had specially bought for his parents, the old couple was overjoyed.
During this time, Chen Fan accompanied his parents to visit the new house they had just bought in the county town.
The house his father chose was in a newly developed community in the county town, a multi-story residential building, and they chose a third-floor apartment.
The 120-square-meter three-bedroom, two-living room house was priced at 98,000 yuan.
With a down payment of over 20,000 yuan, his parents directly paid 30,000 yuan. The rest would be paid off over 10 years.
Even though Chen Fan had given them enough money to pay in full, his parents still felt it wasn't good to buy a house outright, and that it was better to borrow a bit from the bank if possible.
In the eyes of the older generation, it was more reassuring to keep some money in hand.
This is what they call "with grain in hand, there's no panic in heart."
Chen Fan couldn't be bothered to argue with his parents about this.
In such a small county town, the house price wasn't even 1,000 yuan per square meter, which was incredibly cheap.
Li Jinqiu privately told Chen Fan that if he hadn't brought Su Ruochu home, his father wouldn't have been willing to spend money on such a large house.
Chen Fan chuckled and said he would send some more money home later, to cover the upcoming renovation and furniture costs.
But Li Jinqiu shook her head and refused.
"Your dad said that we'll use the money we've saved over the years for the renovation and furniture. The money you gave us has all been saved for you, to be used when you get married in the future."
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and didn't know how to persuade them.
"Mom, it's not like I don't have money. I can still earn more in the future."
Li Jinqiu glared at him: "That's not allowed either. Who knows what the future holds? Your parents are preparing in advance for you. In case something unexpected happens to your company in the future, at least we can help a bit."
Chen Fan knew this was the older generation's sense of crisis at work.
"Then I should give you more money."
"How about this, I'll give you 200,000 yuan every year from now on, and you and dad can save it for me, just in case of unexpected events, how's that?"
Li Jinqiu thought it seemed to make sense, so she nodded in agreement.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Fan followed his parents to pay New Year visits.
This year was different, the whole village knew that the Chen family's son had made something of himself, seemingly having made money from starting a business outside.
And he had found a girlfriend as beautiful as a celestial maiden.
Throughout the New Year visits in the village, the smile never left his father Chen Jianye's face.
Even within the Chen family, relationships had quietly changed.
Originally, among the big family, Chen Fan's father was doing the worst, and even though he was the eldest in the family, he didn't have much say.
But this year, whether it was the second aunt's family or the third and fourth uncles' families, everyone had obviously become much more enthusiastic.
They only knew that Chen Fan had made money from starting a business. But they didn't know the specifics.
This time, they pulled Chen Fan aside to inquire in detail.
Talking about starting a business to these relatives, they might not understand.
So Chen Fan simply said he had opened a club, and then introduced what projects were in the club.
After listening for a while, they still didn't quite understand, until finally the third aunt asked a question.
"Chen Fan, how much money can this club of yours make in a year?"
Chen Fan looked at the elders and gave a number.
"Over 10 million yuan, I suppose."
"Hiss..."
"H-how... how much?"
Various exclamations arose.
This was intuitive enough.
"Big brother, Chen Fan isn't lying, is he?"
Chen Jianye sat to the side with a cigarette in his mouth, smiling and nodding.
"He's not lying, this child has never lied since he was little."
Well, now everyone had to believe it.
The way they looked at Chen Fan changed again.
Even their attitude towards Chen Fan's parents unconsciously became more enthusiastic and affectionate.
Chen Fan saw all of this, but didn't mind.
Because these were all human nature, he could understand.
In previous years' family gatherings, the third uncle, who was doing the best, was the center of the family.
But this year, Chen Jianye and his wife became the undisputed center.
Not only did the Chen family know, but the whole village also knew.
The old Chen family had truly turned from an ugly duckling into a swan this time.
Because their son had made it big.
Even walking in the village, villagers would take the initiative to offer Chen Jianye cigarettes and chat with him when they met.
Chen Fan didn't care about these things, but his father was excited.
Didn't you see that his father, who usually didn't like to go out much, loved to go visiting during these few days of the New Year?
Regarding this situation, his mother Li Jinqiu said this was just a poor person suddenly becoming rich and showing off.
But Chen Fan smiled and thought that his usually taciturn and serious father also had such a cute side.
After the New Year, Chen Fan couldn't stay at home for too long.
On the 9th day of the Lunar New Year, at his mother's strong insistence, Chen Fan called Su Ruochu and asked her to come over for a meal together.
Li Jinqiu was now extremely satisfied with Su Ruochu, and had already considered her as her future daughter-in-law in her heart.
After the 10th, Chen Fan had to return to Yunhai in advance.
Surprisingly, Su Ruochu also wanted to return to school with him.
Chen Fan was a bit surprised and asked on the phone: "Your parents are willing to let you return to school early?"
"It was my mom who told me to go back with you."
On the other end of the phone, Su Ruochu's tone seemed quite helpless.
But Chen Fan laughed.
"Thanks to my mother-in-law."
