Chapter 463: Will She Pass the Exam?
After Luo Wenjie went to prison, the once lively dorm 519 seemed to turn into a ghost town overnight.
Moreover, Chen Fan had been busy with acquisition talks recently and rarely showed up, making the six-person dorm even quieter.
Classmates rarely came to visit anymore, and everyone was gossiping privately that dorm 519 had bad feng shui, fearing it would affect their upcoming graduation and job search.
Once, two classmates were making jokes about Room 519 in the public bathroom when Sun Hao overheard them. He couldn't help but argue with them, and it almost turned into a physical fight.
Ma Xiaoshuai and Han Xu, who happened to be in the dorm, rushed to help and ended up injuring the other person's face.
The situation almost escalated, but in the end, Wu Di, who was both the class monitor and dorm leader, went to the other dorm to apologize. He said they were all classmates about to graduate, and there was no need to ruin someone's future over such a small matter.
After a lot of sweet-talking and humbling himself, along with quietly passing over a thick red envelope provided by the rich second generation Ma Xiaoshuai, they finally let Sun Hao off the hook.
Everyone tacitly agreed not to tell Chen Fan about this incident. As Wu Di put it, Old Chen was now doing big things and was busy to death every day, so there was no need to add to his troubles.
However, after this incident, dorm 519 became even quieter.
Even the nightly chat sessions that everyone loved hadn't been held for a long time.
On Chen Fan's side, he had been busy negotiating with Jinchuan Construction.
They didn't trust a newly established company, but after Chen Fan revealed his identity as the owner of Medal Club and founder of Feifan Technology, they started to take him seriously.
The acquisition price gradually dropped from the initial 150 million yuan to 130 million, 120 million...
There was progress in each negotiation, but the room for reduction was very small.
Both sides seemed to be testing each other's patience, seeing who would give in first.
Chen Fan insisted that the other party was about to collapse and might go bankrupt, then be auctioned off by the bank.
On the other side, it wasn't the gambler son negotiating, but the retired old chairman.
This seasoned old man was equally calm, believing that Chen Fan was eager to enter the real estate market and was an ambitious young man.
He spread rumors that they were contacting a second buyer, which was actually putting pressure on Chen Fan's side.
Thus, both parties engaged in a tug of war.
Time moved to December.
The postgraduate entrance exam began.
Early in the morning, Chen Fan didn't go to the company or attend negotiation meetings.
He put everything aside, got up early, and carefully prepared breakfast.
Su Ruochu came back from her run, washed her face, and changed clothes.
After they had breakfast together, Su Ruochu took her exam supplies, and they left together.
"I feel like I'm sending my daughter to the exam," Chen Fan joked on campus.
Su Ruochu rolled her eyes: "You're trying to take advantage of me!"
Chen Fan chuckled: "Is there any part of you I haven't taken advantage of?"
Su Ruochu's face immediately turned slightly red, and she spat lightly in embarrassment.
"You're annoying!"
"Wife, are you ready?" Chen Fan analyzed, "So many people apply every year. It's not an exaggeration to say it's like thousands of troops crossing a single-log bridge."
Su Ruochu nodded, "It is quite difficult to pass. But no matter how hard it is, we have to try."
They arrived at the exam building, and Chen Fan stood at the entrance to encourage her.
"Good luck. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Whatever the result, you're still better than me."
Su Ruochu smiled and said, "I've prepared as much as I could. Even if I don't pass, at least I can say I gave it my all."
"That's the right attitude."
Chen Fan smiled and hugged Su Ruochu.
"Focus on the exam. When you're done, I'll make you your favorite dish, braised catfish with eggplant!"
Just then, a laugh came from nearby.
"Brother Fan, I want braised catfish with eggplant too."
"I want braised pork..."
Chen Fan turned his head to find that it was the guys from the dorm who had arrived.
Wu Di, Ma Xiaoshuai, Sun Hao, and Han Xu.
Except for Ma Xiaoshuai, the other three had all signed up for the exam.
Su Ruochu, feeling a bit embarrassed, struggled out of Chen Fan's embrace.
"I'll go in first."
She said, lowering her head and quickly entering the building.
Chen Fan laughed and cursed, "If you want to eat, ask your own wives to cook for you."
Sun Hao smiled bitterly, "Brothers, why do I feel so nervous?"
Wu Di smiled and patted his shoulder, "Stay calm. You two are much better prepared than me."
"Let's go!"
Chen Fan smiled and waved to the three, watching them enter the exam room.
Then he turned to Ma Xiaoshuai, "Why didn't you sign up?"
Ma Xiaoshuai shrugged, "I'd rather leave the spot for comrades who need it more. I won't get involved."
"Where's your girlfriend?"
"Her? She's planning to take the civil service exam next year."
"If she goes for postgraduate studies, wouldn't that mean a long-distance relationship?"
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoshuai's face immediately fell.
"To be honest, I'm very conflicted right now."
"I hope she passes, but I also hope she doesn't."
"I'm afraid if she passes and we have a long-distance relationship for three years, we won't be able to hold on for that long!"
Chen Fan laughed, realizing this little classmate had the same worries as himself.
However, Ma Xiaoshuai's words reminded him of something.
In his previous life, Su Ruochu had also applied for the postgraduate exam, but she didn't succeed in getting in.
If nothing unexpected happened in this life, Su Ruochu might not pass.
But Chen Fan had also encountered many things that had changed due to his rebirth.
So, he couldn't guarantee the final result.
Let nature take its course.
Seeing Chen Fan silent, Ma Xiaoshuai came closer and asked with a smile.
"What about you? Aren't you worried that if she passes, it might cause problems in your relationship?"
Chen Fan glanced at him.
"Not worried at all! My charm is unparalleled in the universe!"
"I'm very confident in myself."
Ma Xiaoshuai pretended to vomit, "You're getting more and more shameless, quite in the style of my younger days."
Seeing Chen Fan turning to leave, Ma Xiaoshuai called out, "Where are you going next? Want to go play a couple of games?"
"No time. I'm going back to cook for my wife!"
"Damn! You're really a guy who values love over friendship."
Ma Xiaoshuai rudely gave Chen Fan's back the middle finger.
At noon, when Su Ruochu finished the exam and came out, Chen Fan was waiting outside the building.
Seeing her calm face, Chen Fan couldn't help but ask, "How was it? Do you think you'll pass?"
Su Ruochu smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I don't know, it felt so difficult."
"I'm really stupid!"
Chen Fan smiled and rubbed her head.
"It's good to be a bit stupid. As they say in my hometown, a woman who's a bit stupid will enjoy a happy life."
Su Ruochu immediately pouted, looking unconvinced.
Chen Fan smiled and comforted her, "It's okay. Now that the exam is over, you don't need to think about these things anymore."
"I've already prepared the meal, let's go home and eat!"
Su Ruochu smiled and came over to hold Chen Fan's arm.
"Thank you,"
"I feel like between us, you're more like a woman now. You're the perfect example of a good wife and loving mother!"
"Umm... I can't do that."
Chen Fan shook his head seriously.
"At least when it comes to having children, I'll still need you to do the hard work."
"Get lost!"
Su Ruochu's little fist came flying.
As they were chasing and playing around, Chen Fan received a call from Guo Wendong.
On the other end of the phone, Guo Wendong excitedly shouted.
"Boss, they couldn't hold on anymore and have made concessions on their own."
"85 million yuan, they agreed."
Chen Fan was delighted.
He didn't expect that by not showing up today, it would make the other party panic and actively make concessions.
"What are you so happy about?" Su Ruochu asked curiously from the side.
Chen Fan excitedly picked up Su Ruochu and spun her around several times.
"Wife, and you said you're not good at business."
"You just casually took an exam and helped me save several million."
