Chapter 437: Brother Jie is Getting a Bit Cocky
"Old Chen, how much did you spend on this apartment?" Luo Wenjie asked, sitting on the sofa, drinking beer while looking around Chen Fan's apartment.
"300,000 yuan."
"Hey, that money was well spent."
"It's not that this old apartment is worth 300,000 yuan, but the location is excellent."
"I reckon you're probably the only student with property on campus."
"You know, when the school built these apartments, they were all internally sold to teachers, rarely put on the market for outsiders."
Ma Xiaoshuai complained, "What's so good about it? We're graduating in a year, can Old Chen still live here then?"
"You don't know shit!" Luo Wenjie retorted, "Don't you know property prices have gone up? After graduation, if Old Chen sells this place, he might even make a profit."
Chen Fan smiled at Luo Wenjie.
"What's up, Brother Jie? Thinking about buying a house?"
Luo Wenjie chuckled.
"I have that idea, but haven't decided yet."
Ma Xiaoshuai immediately exclaimed, "Damn, Brother Jie, looks like you've really made it big!"
Luo Wenjie immediately put on a smug expression.
"Just a small profit, a small profit..."
"You bought a 200,000 yuan car without hesitation, I don't believe it's just a small profit. Tell the truth, how much did you make?"
Luo Wenjie chuckled, "There are no outsiders here, I won't hide it from you guys."
"This summer vacation, these one or two months, I made over a million yuan."
"Fuck!" Ma Xiaoshuai swore on the spot.
"Brother Jie, did you become a gigolo?"
"No, even if you were a gigolo, you couldn't make that much. Unless you were selling your ass 24 hours non-stop..."
"He's doing game cheats," Chen Fan explained.
Ma Xiaoshuai's eyes widened: "Like those cheats for Legend of Mir? Is that so profitable?"
"What do you think?"
Ma Xiaoshuai grabbed Luo Wenjie: "Let me invest in a share too, will you?"
Luo Wenjie looked troubled: "The studio isn't mine alone, I started it with others. I don't have the decision-making power."
"Besides, you're already a rich second generation, do you really care about this bit of money?"
Ma Xiaoshuai pouted: "Who doesn't want more money?"
Chen Fan looked at Ma Xiaoshuai.
"You better not get involved. What they're doing is borderline legal. And Jie, I have to warn you, just make money quietly. Be careful, the authorities might crack down on this industry at any time."
But Luo Wenjie shook his head dismissively.
"Look. Old Chen, you're always like this, too timid. You said the same thing last time, and missed the chance to get rich with us."
"I've seen crackdowns on prostitution and drugs, but never on game cheats. You're just too cautious."
"Besides, Old Chen, I'm not criticizing you, but you started earlier than us. Yes, you made some money before. But look at your business this past year."
"One internet cafe closed down, the club is gone too, what are you going to do next? Are you going to just put your savings in the bank for interest?"
"Look at me and Xiaoshuai, we both have cars now, but you, you haven't even bought a car. If you ask me, if you want to make money, you should be bolder."
"If you keep being so cautious, afraid of this and that, you'll never get rich."
Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Luo Wenjie in surprise, opened his mouth.
"What the hell are you talking about, don't you know he..."
In the dorm, only Ma Xiaoshuai knew Chen Fan's real situation.
Others, including Brother Jie, didn't know what Chen Fan was currently doing, or how big his business was.
That's why Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Luo Wenjie with an expression of pity for a fool.
But Ma Xiaoshuai's words were interrupted by Chen Fan before he could finish.
"Hehe, having money really makes a difference, huh? Even Brother Jie's tone of speaking has changed."
Luo Wenjie chuckled: "Old Chen, don't take it the wrong way, I'm just telling the truth. But I know how I got here, without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."
"So if you want to make a comeback in the future, if you need money, just ask me anytime, I won't say a word."
Chen Fan raised his glass.
"Alright. Just for that, I'll drink to you."
Chen Fan could also see that some changes had indeed occurred in Luo Wenjie.
In the past, he would always call him Brother Fan, but today he directly changed to Old Chen. He kept talking about making big money.
Brother Jie was indeed getting a bit cocky.
But fortunately, the person hadn't completely changed.
At least that last sentence made Chen Fan quite gratified.
Ma Xiaoshuai looked speechlessly at Luo Wenjie, who was still chattering away with saliva flying, with a sympathetic expression.
He thought about how this guy would react when he saw Chen Fan's new club in the future, just looking at those big buildings, what kind of expression would he have.
He suddenly started to look forward to it.
......
On the last day of summer vacation, Guo Wendong returned from his business trip, bringing good news to Chen Fan.
Both S.H.E and Jay Chou had agreed to the commercial performance invitation.
Guo Wendong told Chen Fan that he hadn't expected this trip to be so easy and smooth.
Back when he wasn't famous, Chen Fan had approached them for endorsements.
They probably remembered that cooperation, so the price they quoted wasn't too expensive. Chen Fan was very satisfied.
"You've worked hard. But you can't rest yet, you need to get into new work now."
Guo Wendong didn't complain, just nodded.
"This is all part of my job."
After having a meal with Guo Wendong, Chen Fan drove the club's Audi A6 to the bus station.
He had been living alone for almost a month, and today his wife was finally coming back.
When passing by a flower shop, Chen Fan specially bought a bouquet of flowers.
After waiting at the station for more than 20 minutes, the long-distance bus from Luocheng finally arrived.
Seeing Su Ruochu in a dress, pulling a suitcase off the bus, Chen Fan immediately smiled and went to meet her.
"Let me, let me."
Su Ruochu had a faint smile on her face, not saying anything, just looking at Chen Fan like this.
"Why are you looking at me like this? I've been as chaste as jade this month, absolutely haven't done anything to betray you."
"Oh right."
Chen Fan put the suitcase in the trunk, quickly took out the bouquet of flowers from the passenger seat.
"For you."
Su Ruochu was delighted, no girl doesn't like flowers.
But she said: "Why are you giving me flowers?"
Chen Fan said seriously.
"Do I need a reason to give flowers to my girlfriend?"
"You've never given me flowers before."
Su Ruochu glanced at Chen Fan: "Tell me, what mischief are you up to now?"
Chen Fan chuckled and rubbed his hands.
"Indeed, my little trick can't escape your piercing eyes."
"Wife, it's like this, yesterday I watched a horror movie alone. The male protagonist, when he was sleeping at night, suddenly found a female ghost's head in the quilt on the bed, he was almost scared to death..."
"I was almost scared to tears watching it alone. You don't know, that scene was so real, blood all over the bed... Oh, speaking of bed, I remember now, yesterday I specially washed the bedsheet in your room, dried it in the sun for a day, it's so comfortable to sleep on. Do you want to experience it tonight?"
Su Ruochu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, curving into crescent moons.
"I knew you were up to no good."
"Hmph. Sure enough, thinking about these messy things."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly and rubbed his hands: "You have to understand me, I've been living alone for almost a month, and I'm such a coward, I get scared when there's thunder and rain..."
"Anyway, school officially starts tomorrow, why don't you stay at the apartment for one night? Just one night."
Su Ruochu smiled and said: "Staying for one night is fine."
"But don't get too excited yet..."
"Your luck isn't very good, because Auntie Red just happened to come knocking today."
Chen Fan: "..."
