Chapter 396: So You're the One Called Chen Fan
Hearing Chen Fan's cold laugh, Pang Longhai understood that Chen Fan had no intention of ending things like this.
"Sigh, Brother Chen, listen to my advice. It's better to resolve enmity than to let it fester, especially when you're doing business on someone else's turf."
"Take a step back, and you'll find the sea and sky are vast."
"While the conflict between you two hasn't completely escalated, why not both take a step back and resolve this grudge?"
"After all, you're a businessman. You know better than I do that it's hard to guard against petty people. If they keep sending people to cause trouble for you every other day, even if it doesn't affect you, it'll still annoy you."
Chen Fan had already seen Su Ruochu walking out of the isolation building.
The corner of his mouth curled up slightly as he smiled and waved his hand.
"Chief Pang, I understand. Thank you for your advice. I'll think it over carefully."
"That's good," Pang Longhai reminded him one last time before hanging up.
"Remember, peace is precious."
After hanging up and putting away his phone, Chen Fan stepped forward to greet Su Ruochu. He first hugged her, then took the initiative to take the suitcase from her hand.
"Let's go home. I've made your favorite soup."
Su Ruochu smiled gently and took Chen Fan's arm.
"Aww..."
At this moment, a cheer came from the isolation building behind them.
Someone was standing on the balcony, grinning and making a fuss at them.
Su Ruochu turned around and waved at the building behind her with a smile.
In a while, the classmates in the isolation building would also be able to leave.
For everyone, the time spent living here was a special experience.
Chen Fan didn't go anywhere all morning, just staying in the apartment to enjoy time alone with Su Ruochu.
In the afternoon, Su Ruochu had a major class to attend, so Chen Fan took a taxi to the club.
The club's main entrance, which had been polluted last night, had already been cleaned with water by Feng Pojun and his team. The filth inside the courtyard had also been cleared away, and someone was now using a water gun to wash the ground.
Feng Pojun came up to greet Chen Fan and briefly told him about last night's events.
"Your friend brought about 100 to 200 people over. These guys were tough enough, and those troublemaking hooligans were no match at all. They scattered immediately."
While listening to Feng Pojun's introduction, Chen Fan curiously examined the building in front of him.
"Besides the badminton hall that was burned down, were there any other places?"
Feng Pojun quickly replied, "There are two other spots, but they didn't cause much impact."
Chen Fan nodded and instructed, "Find someone to replace the burned items and repaint the walls."
Feng Pojun nodded, "Deputy Manager Ma has already arranged for that to be done."
Only then did Chen Fan withdraw his gaze.
"How is Manager Ding doing?"
"She's been discharged from the hospital and is resting at home."
"A few days ago, Manager Ding wanted to come to work, but General Manager Ma persuaded her not to."
Chen Fan nodded, "Let her fully recover before coming back to work. If she tries to return early, remember to call me."
"Understood."
Chen Fan then said, "Contact your private detective friend, the one called Li Yang, right?"
"Ask him to help investigate Song Mingjie from the Development Zone. His father is the town chief of Shuangyang Town in the Development Zone."
Feng Pojun was surprised, "Boss, was last night's incident caused by this Song guy?"
Chen Fan didn't answer directly, but said, "This Song Mingjie is the one who stabbed Manager Ding that night."
Feng Pojun froze, then understood quite a bit.
In an instant, a flash of killing intent appeared in Feng Pojun's eyes.
"Boss, there's no need to find Li Yang. I can handle it personally..."
Chen Fan raised his hand to interrupt him.
"Handle it personally? What for? You want to kill him?"
"That's too crude."
"Remember! We're businessmen. We should win people over with virtue. Don't always talk about beating and killing. It's too frightening."
Feng Pojun scratched his head, not quite understanding what the boss meant.
Chen Fan looked up at the office building in the distance.
"I won't go in. When you see Deputy Manager Ma, tell him the plan remains unchanged, everything proceeds as usual."
"Once the newly recruited employees are trained, we can prepare for the club's opening."
"Got it."
After leaving the club, Chen Fan went to the Glorious Years Bar.
The bar wasn't open during the day. When Chen Fan arrived, Guo Shuai was still sound asleep.
He directly called and pulled this guy out of his dreams. Then the two of them found a small street stall, each sitting on a small stool, slurping noodles with chopsticks.
"So you're saying the one who caused trouble for you last night was this town chief's son?"
Guo Shuai looked up at Chen Fan while eating his noodles.
This guy had added too much chili oil, and he was eating with sweat all over his face, all drowsiness gone.
"A town chief's son actually called over more than 100 thugs. Looks like this bastard isn't a simple character."
Chen Fan said calmly, "Just based on his identity, people would give him face. Moreover, this guy likes to cause trouble everywhere, so it's not surprising that he knows some people in the underworld."
Guo Shuai took out a tissue to wipe the sweat on his forehead and turned to look at Chen Fan.
"What do you say? Want me to teach him a lesson for you?"
Chen Fan laughed.
"Come on, Brother Guo. The first thing you suggest is teaching someone a lesson? You really think you're a big shot in the underworld now?"
Guo Shuai chuckled, a bit embarrassed.
"I've been running a bar for so long and have had a lot of contact with people from the underworld. I've got to pick up a thing or two, right?"
Chen Fan shook his head, "Don't get involved in this. I'll handle it myself."
But Guo Shuai said, "A guy like that isn't worth your personal attention. Haven't you watched 'Young and Dangerous'? If he wants to challenge you, he has to go through levels. As your good brother, I'm the gatekeeper standing in front of you."
"He has to get past me first."
Chen Fan was speechless.
"Brother, what era are we in now? Still going with that 'Young and Dangerous' routine?"
"I'm just an honest businessman. Don't always talk about beating and killing. I have a heart condition, you know. If I get scared into illness, you'll have to compensate me."
Guo Shuai cursed.
"Damn. You really are a businessman, spouting this nonsense so easily."
The two looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter.
After laughing, Chen Fan put down his chopsticks and looked at Guo Shuai with a more serious expression.
"Have you thought about my proposal from last time?"
"What proposal?" Guo Shuai didn't react.
"I said that in this day and age, trying to make it in the underworld doesn't work anymore."
"I suggested you find an opportunity to open a security company, remember?"
Guo Shuai nodded repeatedly.
"I remember, I remember."
"But Brother Fan, I don't know how to do business or manage a company. Asking me to do this is like asking Zhang Fei to do embroidery. It's too much."
Chen Fan smiled, "Since we're brothers, if you really want to transform and start a security company, do you think I'd stand by and do nothing?"
Guo Shuai smiled, "That's true. But Brother Fan, you'll have to give me a bit more time to think it over carefully."
"I have quite a few brothers under me who depend on me for their livelihood. Not everyone is willing to go legit."
Chen Fan advised, "You should do a preliminary assessment, weed out those with poor character and those unwilling to go legit."
Guo Shuai nodded thoughtfully.
"I'll consider it carefully..."
As they were talking, a red Ferrari supercar roared down the road from the other end.
It suddenly screeched to a halt in front of the noodle stall, kicking up dust and spreading black exhaust fumes. The customers eating at the stall erupted in a chorus of curses.
However, when they saw the car, they all quieted down.
The car door opened, and a young man in a red suit and sunglasses jumped out.
This guy leaned arrogantly against the car, lowered his head slightly, and looked at Chen Fan's table through the gap in his sunglasses.
"Are you Chen Fan?"
