Chapter 398: Plans for the Future
After three days of suffering, everyone endured another grueling summer exam period.
This also meant that their third year of university had come to an end.
When they return after the summer break, Chen Fan and his friends will be entering their fourth year.
Only one year remains until graduation.
In fact, after three years of university life, the members of dorm 519 had developed different attitudes towards exams.
Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai belonged to the "go with the flow" type, aiming for 60 points and not a point more, just enough to pass.
Luo Wenjie had given up long ago, with three courses still in remedial classes.
If he failed a few more this time, Old Luo's final year would probably be very painful.
Whether he could graduate smoothly would become questionable.
However, given Luo Wenjie's personality, he probably wouldn't care too much.
Because now, the private server developed by Luo Wenjie's studio had officially launched recently.
It was an instant hit upon release.
In the first week alone, they earned over 100,000 yuan.
He and Zhou Honghai split the money, each netting 50,000 yuan in a week.
Their income had multiplied several times compared to when they were making game cheats.
These days, Luo Wenjie was in high spirits, not caring about exams at all.
As for whether he could get his diploma, did it matter to him?
After all, he wouldn't rely on this piece of paper to find a job in the future.
Among the other three in the dorm, Sun Hao and Han Xu were top students who could compete for scholarships every year. So they weren't worried about exams at all.
Finally, there was only the First Brother, Wu Di.
He had ambitions, but because he spent most of his time cultivating relationships, he hadn't devoted much time to studying, leaving him anxious and worried these past two days.
On this day after the exam, the six members of dorm 519 went to the cafeteria together for a meal.
They could actually leave school for the holiday this afternoon, but everyone decided to leave tomorrow.
So Ma Xiaoshuai and Luo Wenjie arranged for everyone to go out for dinner and karaoke.
Chen Fan didn't mind, while Sun Hao and Han Xu nodded in agreement.
Wu Di, however, was a bit dispirited, still worried about failing courses.
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and comforted him, "Brother Di, cheer up. Even if you fail, you won't be last. At least we have Old Luo in our dorm to cushion the bottom for you."
"Hey, watch your mouth! Watch your mouth!" Luo Wenjie was unhappy, "Brother, I just don't care to compete with you guys for those measly scholarships. Otherwise, with my intelligence, getting a scholarship would be child's play."
"Don't forget, my college entrance exam score ranked third in our class when we first enrolled."
Seeing Wu Di was genuinely depressed, Chen Fan also smiled and comforted him.
"If worst comes to worst, just go talk to the teachers. With the relationships you've cultivated, if you say some nice words, you should be able to avoid failing."
Others might not have noticed, but Chen Fan understood what Wu Di was really worried about.
Wu Di was concerned that failing courses would affect his chances for honors and civil service exams later.
In the whole dorm, Wu Di was the most utilitarian and the first to have found a clear direction for his future.
He was definitely going to take the civil service exam and become a civil servant after graduation.
Seeing everyone comforting him, Wu Di smiled and shook his head.
"Forget it. Whatever happens, happens."
"Old Luo, you're treating us tonight, right?"
For once, Luo Wenjie didn't refuse, waving his hand generously.
"Don't worry. Sons, spend as you like tonight, Daddy has plenty of money."
Since some of their girlfriends had already left for home this afternoon, they didn't invite anyone else to the evening gathering.
Luo Wenjie had indeed struck it rich, directly choosing a four-star hotel in the city as the venue for their get-together.
As soon as they entered the lobby, everyone was stunned.
"Damn, Old Luo, you've hit the jackpot?"
Luo Wenjie chuckled, "Eat whatever you want tonight. Don't hold back with me, or I'll get mad."
Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but joke, "Did you win the lottery?"
Only Chen Fan glanced at Luo Wenjie, guessing that this guy must have made big money from the private server.
However, Chen Fan didn't mention this, after all, it's better to keep a low profile about private servers.
There were no outsiders at the dinner, and halfway through the meal, everyone was a bit tipsy.
The topics gradually shifted from all over the place to their future careers.
Wu Di held up his wine glass and analyzed, "In our dorm, Old Chen needs no introduction, he's been starting businesses since freshman year, and will probably continue down the path of entrepreneurship after graduation."
"And Old Luo, judging by your performance today, you must have made some money too."
"As for me, I plan to start preparing for the civil service exam in my fourth year. Hopefully, I can become a civil servant here in Yunhai. There's no other way, the civil service exams in our Dongshan Province are just too competitive. With my abilities, I'd probably be left with nothing if I went back there."
Han Xu and Sun Hao expressed their hopes to try for postgraduate studies, and if that didn't work out, they'd probably find jobs and become white-collar workers.
Finally, when it came to Ma Xiaoshuai, everyone asked him about his dreams.
Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head and gave a wry smile.
"Don't laugh at me, but I've never had any dreams, from childhood to now."
"I just want to live a simple life, be happy, and take each day as it comes..."
Everyone laughed, saying Ma Xiaoshuai wasn't being honest.
But Chen Fan actually understood Ma Xiaoshuai, because this guy really was that kind of person.
Easy-going, low-key, unpretentious, without any ambition, able to be friends with anyone.
Such a friend would be very comfortable to be around.
By the end of the meal, everyone except Ma Xiaoshuai and Wu Di was drunk. Even Chen Fan was a bit tipsy.
Luo Wenjie staggered to the front desk to pay the bill, then quickly ran out of the hotel and vomited.
This guy stood by the roadside, holding onto a tree trunk as he vomited violently. After finishing, he still had a face full of regret.
"What a waste... That was Maotai..."
Ma Xiaoshuai, who was patting his back, couldn't help but comment, "Geez, Old Luo, could you be any more disgusting?"
Luo Wenjie wiped his mouth casually with his hand, then got up and put his arm around Ma Xiaoshuai's shoulders.
"Brother, I really envy you. You say you have no dreams, but actually, in our dorm, you're the one who needs to worry least about the future."
"You're closest to Old Chen, and you know his capabilities now. He's bound to soar in the future."
"You two are so close you might as well be wearing the same underwear. Do you think he'd ever let you down in the future?"
Ma Xiaoshuai rolled his eyes, "You're the one wearing his underwear."
Then he turned and shouted to Chen Fan behind them, "Old Chen, Old Luo wants to wear your underwear."
Wu Di quickly came over.
"What's going on? Did Old Luo soil his pants?"
Chen Fan lagged behind the group, on the phone.
On the other end was Feng Pojun reporting to him about what had happened at the club these past two days.
"So they're trying to smear us to affect the club's opening?"
Chen Fan was a bit exasperated, "I guess that's all this guy is capable of."
"Boss, do you want me to handle it?"
Chen Fan refused, "No need."
"Everyone associated with the club should stay out of it."
"From this person's behavior over this period, we can see that he's just a scoundrel. Once he latches onto you, it's hard to shake him off."
"Tell Deputy Manager Ma that the preparations for the club's opening should continue as usual, everything goes on as planned."
"I've finished my exams now. I have time to deal with this guy properly."
After pondering for two seconds, Chen Fan added a sentence.
"Let's do it in the next few days. I'll resolve this trouble completely."
