Chapter 439: The Boss is Stuck Outside
"Have you heard? Medal Club has invited S.H.E and Jay Chou as endorsers."
"What club?"
"Oh, you know, that super popular and luxurious club from before. Remember the CS real-life shooting game we played?"
"Damn, now that you mention it, I remember. Isn't it the club that had a haunted house?"
"I was planning to go there during the New Year, but the club suddenly closed down."
"Wasn't it closed? How come it's reopening?"
"You know nothing. It's because the previous club was demolished. Didn't you see their advertisement? This new club is fully upgraded, it's only going to be more luxurious and comprehensive."
"Let me see... basketball, badminton, table tennis, billiards, and all sorts of ball games, shooting, boxing, gym, yoga... they even have an indoor swimming pool."
"Oh my god, it's so comprehensive."
"Hehe, feeling tempted? But let me tell you, it's no use. This time they've upgraded completely, and after opening, it will only be open to VIP members. If you're not a VIP, you can't get in at all."
"Really? Damn? Discriminating against us ordinary people?"
"What happened to all men are born equal? I think this boss is just an idiot, blinded by money."
"By the way, the ad says that for the first three days of opening, everyone can go in and experience it for a fee. Are you going?"
"Of course, why not? I want to go support my Jay."
Such conversations were happening on various internet forums, including university campuses where students were also eagerly discussing tomorrow's club opening.
However, most people weren't focused on the opening itself, but on the fact that the club had invited top singers as endorsers.
Who exactly was this boss?
...
October 1st, the first day of National Day holiday.
Su Ruochu got up early.
In her final year of college, she had made a detailed schedule for herself.
To fully prepare for the postgraduate entrance exam and civil service exam, she needed a healthy body.
After waking up, she glanced at the still sleeping Chen Fan.
Su Ruochu quietly changed into a light pink tracksuit and went to the sports field alone to start jogging.
Her goal was to jog three laps every day, and gradually increase her speed to eventually run 5000 meters.
After finishing her morning run covered in sweat, she went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast on her way back.
She got herself fried dough sticks and soy milk, and bought steamed buns and eight-treasure porridge for Chen Fan.
After returning to the apartment, Su Ruochu put down the breakfast, took a quick shower in the bathroom, and then started to prepare to change clothes.
Today was the club's opening day, and she was going to accompany Chen Fan.
In a sense, this was her first official appearance as Chen Fan's girlfriend.
Although she had been to the club once before, not many people knew about her status as Chen Fan's girlfriend at that time.
From today on, she would be completely exposed to the eyes of all the club's employees and management, subject to their scrutiny and gossip.
Su Ruochu hadn't told Chen Fan, but she was actually very nervous.
Since yesterday, she had been quietly pondering what clothes to wear today.
She stood alone in front of the mirror trying on several outfits.
In the end, she wasn't satisfied with any of them, either too flashy or too formal.
Although she felt she should dress formally for this occasion, after putting on such clothes, Su Ruochu quietly took them off again. She didn't want people to think she was being too showy or deliberately flaunting.
After all, it wasn't her personality.
Su Ruochu had a graceful and gentle nature, as soft as water.
If possible, she would prefer to quietly stay by Chen Fan's side. Not showing off, not flaunting, just blooming privately, only for him.
After trying on more than a dozen outfits, Su Ruochu finally gave up.
She washed off the heavy makeup she had applied and just put on some simple, elegant light makeup.
Finally, she took out a light pink chiffon midi skirt from the wardrobe, paired with a fitted knit cardigan.
Both these clothes were originally chosen and bought by Chen Fan for her, and were also Su Ruochu's usual style and outfit.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Su Ruochu clenched her little fists and took a deep breath to encourage herself.
"Come on..."
Before she could finish, someone hugged her from behind.
"Wife, why are you up so early?" Chen Fan hugged Su Ruochu with a sleepy face, resting his head on her shoulder.
"You... you're awake?" Su Ruochu was a bit nervous, afraid that Chen Fan had just seen her encouraging herself.
"Hurry up and wash up for breakfast, I bought you something to eat."
But Chen Fan hugged Su Ruochu like a spoiled child.
"Why so early? Stay and sleep with me a bit longer."
"Oh no, we can't. Hurry up and change, wash up. Have you forgotten today is the club's opening day?"
Chen Fan mumbled with his eyes closed, "The club opening has nothing to do with us, everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged, we just need to show up and look around."
Su Ruochu felt a bit helpless with Chen Fan.
"You're the boss, you need to set a good example for everyone."
"Besides, we need to leave early, my parents should be arriving soon."
"Oh, right." Chen Fan suddenly woke up.
He might not care about the club opening, but his future in-laws coming to attend was a big deal. Can't be careless about that.
"I'll be ready in a minute."
Chen Fan dashed back to the bedroom, and soon came out changed and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
By the time Su Ruochu finished her breakfast, Chen Fan was also ready.
Seeing Chen Fan only wearing casual jeans and a white T-shirt, Su Ruochu couldn't help but ask.
"Is that... all you're wearing today?"
"What's wrong?" Chen Fan looked down at himself, "Isn't this handsome enough? I think I look super cool."
Su Ruochu smiled helplessly, "It's such an important day, shouldn't you, as the boss, dress more formally?"
"This isn't formal enough?"
Chen Fan laughed, "When it comes to clothes, comfort is the most important thing. I don't care what others think."
"Besides, I'm the boss, who dares to criticize me."
Saying this, Chen Fan picked up the car keys, "Have you finished eating? Let's go, we need to hurry and pick up your parents."
"You haven't eaten yet."
"Forget it, I'll skip it."
"No way. You must have breakfast before we leave."
Chen Fan had to pick up the eight-treasure porridge and gulp it down, then grabbed a steamed bun with one hand while pulling Su Ruochu with the other.
"Let's go."
Su Ruochu was both amused and exasperated. After going downstairs, she nervously asked,
"Is... is this outfit suitable for today?"
Chen Fan smiled and looked her over, "It's suitable. Very suitable."
"You look good in anything."
Su Ruochu rolled her eyes, "Flatterer."
But the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, obviously Chen Fan's words had eased her nervousness quite a bit.
The two first drove to the highway entrance, waited for about ten minutes, and picked up Su Ruochu's parents who had come from Luocheng.
After meeting up, Chen Fan drove in front leading the way, heading straight for the club.
Eastern Development Zone.
There was still half an hour before Medal Club's official opening time.
But the square in front of the entire club was already crowded with people, packed to capacity.
Large colorful hydrogen balloons floated in the square, with long banners hanging from them.
In addition, at the main entrance of the club, a red carpet had already been laid out, with congratulatory flower baskets lining both sides.
Apart from the congratulatory flower baskets sent by some familiar old members of the club,
The entire club, led by General Manager Ding Dian, was on high alert, making final preparations for the upcoming opening.
Dressed in standard business attire, Ding Dian looked particularly capable and stylish today.
But at this moment, she kept checking her phone frequently.
"This jerk, still not here?"
"What time is it now? How can he be late for the opening?"
Only the few leaders standing next to her could barely hear Ding Dian's complaints, but no one dared to respond.
Because everyone knew who the General Manager was cursing about, and they also knew that in this club, only the General Manager had an unusual relationship with the boss.
At this moment, Feng Pojun suddenly came running over in a hurry.
Ding Dian's expression changed, thinking something had happened outside.
"What's going on?"
"Just... just now the boss called, saying he's blocked by the crowd outside and can't get in."
Ding Dian: "..."
