Chapter 385: Bad Luck, Quarantined
When Chen Fan heard about Guo Wendong's major, he had a slight idea about this guy.
As they were leaving the hospital, Guo Wendong came out to see them off in the corridor, and Chen Fan smiled as he shared his thoughts.
He formally invited Guo Wendong to join his club.
However, Guo Wendong smiled and said, "First of all, thank you for your invitation. I really admire you personally.
"But I've just returned from abroad and I'm still adjusting to the time difference. I want to rest properly.
"How about this, give me some time to think it over, okay?"
Chen Fan nodded with a smile, "Of course, no problem. When you've made up your mind, feel free to call me anytime."
They exchanged phone numbers, and Chen Fan said goodbye.
Guo Wendong's words had actually already indicated his attitude.
After all, he had worked in a Fortune 500 company, even if it was just an internship, which indirectly proved his personal abilities.
Moreover, Chen Fan felt that Guo Wendong was a bit arrogant, and his invitation to join a small club probably wouldn't catch his eye.
But Chen Fan didn't mind, he respected talented people.
As long as the other person had real skills, Chen Fan didn't mind visiting three times to recruit them.
Isn't it just wanting a bigger stage? He could give him that.
What's most valuable in the 21st century? Talent!
Taking advantage of the night, Chen Fan took a taxi back to school. Without notifying anyone, he walked alone outside the fence around the campus.
Finding an area without cameras, Chen Fan looked left and right, making sure there were no security guards around. Then he took a step back, accelerated, and climbed over the fence, jumping inside.
However, Chen Fan, who usually had good luck, finally encountered a setback.
He had barely landed and walked a few steps when he was caught by two patrolling security guards.
Caught on the spot.
Without any chance for explanation, Chen Fan was taken to the quarantine building.
The so-called quarantine building was actually an old abandoned female dormitory building on campus.
This building had been vacant for a year or two, and this time, due to SARS, the school conveniently used it as a quarantine area.
Chen Fan was locked in a dormitory room on the second floor.
The environment wasn't great, even quite poor.
Except for the thin mattress, bed sheet, and pillow on the bed, the whole room had a musty smell, and there was too much dust, clearly not cleaned.
Probably because the decision to lock down the school came too suddenly, the school didn't have time to clean up before quickly putting this abandoned building into use.
Chen Fan was locked alone in the quarantine dormitory. As the security guards were about to leave, Chen Fan stopped them and took out cigarettes from his pocket, giving one to each of them.
The guards' attitudes softened considerably, and they voluntarily shared some information with Chen Fan.
First, they told Chen Fan not to have any useless fantasies and to just stay here quietly until the quarantine was over.
Chen Fan asked how long the quarantine would last, and they said half a month.
If there were no fever or illness during this period, he could apply to leave the quarantine dormitory.
The guards also told Chen Fan that he wasn't the only one in this building.
The first five floors of this eight-story dormitory building were almost full.
Many of them were students like Chen Fan who had sneaked out of school by climbing over the wall and were caught when they returned.
Usually, this wouldn't be a big deal, but this time was different. The school took it very seriously, so everyone had to be confined here until the quarantine period was over.
After hearing this, Chen Fan knew that there was basically no hope of getting out now.
Before leaving, Chen Fan took out a 50 yuan bill and asked the guards for a favor.
He took out his phone to show them, saying his phone was out of battery.
He hoped they could help him make a call and ask the person on the other end to send a charger and daily necessities.
Seeing Chen Fan being so cooperative, the guards nodded with a smile.
"Don't worry. I'll make the call for you as soon as I go out."
After the guards left, Chen Fan looked around the dirty dormitory.
There was a thick layer of dust on both the table and the floor, leaving footprints with every step.
Chen Fan couldn't stand it, so he found a broom from the bathroom and started sweeping.
In the afternoon, the landline phone hanging on the wall in the dormitory rang.
It was the duty dormitory aunt calling, saying someone was looking for him downstairs.
The dormitory aunt reminded him on the phone that he must wear the mask given to him, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to go downstairs.
Chen Fan put on the mask and went downstairs.
Ma Xiaoshuai was standing alone outside the door, smiling at Chen Fan.
The two were separated by the glass door, and Ma Xiaoshuai had to stand beyond the isolation line outside to talk.
"What happened?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "Don't mention it. There was a bit of trouble at the club, I had to go out, but I didn't expect that when I came back last night, I was so unlucky, I ran into the patrolling security guards as soon as I climbed over the wall."
Ma Xiaoshuai joked with a smile: "Serve you right!"
"Everyone in the dorm knows about it. Wu Di and Brother Jie originally planned to come together. But I didn't agree."
As he spoke, Ma Xiaoshuai put the plastic bag in his hand on the ground.
"Inside are the charger you wanted, I also prepared ointment, toothbrush, tissues, towels... see if you need anything else, I'll prepare more for you."
The dormitory aunt wearing protective gear and a mask nearby reminded vigilantly:
"Leave the things there first, he'll pick them up after you leave."
Chen Fan shook his head with a smile: "Just these for now, I'll call and tell you if I think of anything else."
"By the way, don't tell my girlfriend about this for now."
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled bitterly, "Do you think you can hide it? Won't she call you?"
Chen Fan: "I'll think about it, find some excuse to explain."
Ma Xiaoshuai asked curiously: "What's it like inside? I heard this used to be the senior sisters' dormitory? How is it? What's the environment like? Did you find any holy relics left by the senior sisters?"
Chen Fan rolled his eyes helplessly: "Do you want to move in and try?"
As if seeing Chen Fan's frustration, Ma Xiaoshuai smiled even more happily.
"You're staying in a single room by yourself?"
"The school is so inconsiderate, they don't even know to assign you a female roommate."
Chen Fan didn't bother with this guy's nonsense, he just waved his hand.
"Alright, you should leave quickly too. To avoid getting infected."
But Ma Xiaoshuai didn't care, "I have a good constitution, I rarely get sick since I was a child."
The dormitory aunt nearby reminded: "Young man, don't speak too soon."
"Alright then. I'll head back first."
Before leaving, Ma Xiaoshuai mysteriously asked Chen Fan: "You'll be staying here alone for half a month, and you can't go out or move around freely during this time."
"How about it? Want me to bring you a computer?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "There's no internet cable in this building."
Ma Xiaoshuai widened his eyes: "Stupid! If there's no internet, I can download some of the teacher's works for you, you can carefully study and learn when you're bored."
"Learning and practicing constantly, isn't that pleasant? Only by continuously learning can one continuously improve."
"Thank you so much... you're truly my good brother."
Chen Fan waved his hand helplessly.
"Get lost, get lost quickly."
Ma Xiaoshuai laughed and shouted as he walked away.
"Don't be shy. Don't hold back, once you change your mind, remember to call me..."
