Chapter 509: Someone from Headquarters Arrived
At the train station.
After seeing Sun Hao and Han Xu off onto the train, Chen Fan and the other two exchanged glances before turning to walk back.
Han Xu was heading straight back to his hometown, while Sun Hao was rushing to Sichuan to meet up with his girlfriend, then bring her back to meet his parents. Afterwards, the couple would go to Pudong to start their new life.
Ma Xiaoshuai took out cigarettes and offered one each to Wu Di and Chen Fan.
When Ma Xiaoshuai held out his lighter, Chen Fan waved it away.
Wu Di blew out a smoke ring, "What's next?"
"When are you two leaving?" Chen Fan asked casually.
"I'm going back to help Su Qing with her luggage later. I won't have lunch, I'll just go straight to the station with her," Wu Di said, cigarette dangling from his mouth as he gazed at the departing train.
"I won't eat either. I'll go back to put my luggage in the car, then help Song Linlin pack," Ma Xiaoshuai added. "She needs to go home for a few days first, then come back to meet up with me."
Chen Fan nodded, "Then let's skip lunch. I'll see you guys off."
Wu Di laughed.
"We'll all be in Yunhai anyway, no need for goodbyes. We'll have plenty of chances to meet up in the future."
Back at the dorm, Wu Di and Ma Xiaoshuai packed their luggage. Chen Fan had the least stuff; besides his bedding, most of his belongings had already been moved to the apartment.
He found a fertilizer bag under the mattress, simply stuffed the bedding inside, and he was done.
Wu Di had quite a lot of things, filling two suitcases and a snakeskin bag.
Ma Xiaoshuai asked if he needed a ride to the station, but Wu Di waved him off, "No need, we'll take a cab later."
Looking at the empty dorm room, the three felt a bit sentimental.
After all, it had been their home for four years.
"Let's go," Chen Fan spoke first, picking up Wu Di's suitcase.
"I'll help you take this over first, then come back for mine."
"Wait!" Just before leaving, Wu Di suddenly remembered something and called out to stop them.
Under Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai's puzzled gaze, Wu Di crouched down and dug out over a dozen boxes of Durex from his suitcase.
Wu Di grinned at the two.
"I bought these when we first started college. My original goal was to use up all these condoms before graduation."
"But until today, I haven't opened a single box."
Ma Xiaoshuai's eyes widened, "Then you and Su Qing..."
Wu Di shook his head, "She's a very conservative girl, you know."
"Damn!" Ma Xiaoshuai blurted out, "And you had the nerve to mock me and Song Linlin all the time."
"Turns out you're the weakest in our dorm."
Wu Di's face reddened. He had put on such a strong casanova act that being exposed like this was quite embarrassing.
"Big brothers shouldn't pick on little brother. In our dorm, besides Old Chen and Brother Jie, who else has slept with a girl in college?"
Chen Fan immediately retorted, "Don't drag me into this. My girlfriend and I were soulmates in our past lives. I've long considered her my wife and my love."
"Right, right, you cultured folks sure know how to talk," Wu Di sighed. "To be honest, I had a nickname in high school, the Playboy. Do you know how many girls couldn't sleep at night because of me?"
"If I hadn't met Su Qing, whom I really want to marry, would I have endured these four years? Spending every night with just my hand?"
Ma Xiaoshuai gave a thumbs up, "You're amazing too."
Wu Di distributed the boxes of Durex into the six storage lockers.
"Consider this a gift for the next batch of junior brothers."
"This is all your senior brother can do for you."
Ma Xiaoshuai joked with him, "Well done, Brother Di. Truly befitting a soon-to-graduate senior brother."
"I have a question though, what if the next batch moving in are junior sisters?"
Wu Di said seriously, "Girls need them even more."
"You think fingers don't have bacteria? Girls need to learn to protect themselves."
Even Chen Fan had to give a thumbs up at this.
"Brother Di, you're truly invincible."
Around 11 am, Chen Fan saw Ma Xiaoshuai and Wu Di off at the school gate, then returned to the dorm alone to get his own luggage.
Carrying the fertilizer bag to the door, Chen Fan turned to look at the dorm room behind him.
The empty beds now only had wooden boards left, as if the four years of student life had never happened.
Chen Fan originally thought he went to college just to accompany Su Ruochu, but now he realized.
Even after being reborn, some things can't be easily ignored.
Like friendship.
Meeting these five guys was Chen Fan's greatest gain in his four years of college.
Bang.
Chen Fan closed the door and locked it from the outside.
Also locking away his youth at the same time.
As he was carrying the fertilizer bag towards the apartment, Chen Fan's phone rang.
It was an unknown number.
Chen Fan hesitated for a moment before answering.
"Hello."
"Hello. Is this Mr. Chen Fan?"
"Yes, it is. Who's this?"
"Ah, hello Mr. Chen. My name is Chen Wenchao, I'm from Baidu."
Chen Fan immediately understood.
"Didn't we already discuss this? I don't agree with the conditions you offered."
The voice on the phone explained with a laugh, "Mr. Chen, my colleague might not have taken the meeting with you seriously enough last time and messed things up. The company has already disciplined him."
"Mr. Chen, how about this, when do you have time for us to meet? I've come this time with full sincerity to negotiate with you personally."
Chen Fan pretended to consider for a few seconds, then took a deep breath.
"Sigh, alright."
"But not today. Let's do tomorrow. I'll call you tomorrow morning."
"Okay. My flight arrives in Yunhai this afternoon."
Chen Fan was a bit surprised, "You're from out of town?"
The other side explained with a chuckle, "I work at Baidu headquarters. I was sent specifically to handle this matter."
After hanging up, Chen Fan guessed that Baidu must be getting anxious, sending someone directly from headquarters this time.
He just didn't know if they could give him a satisfactory offer this time.
Back at the apartment, Chen Fan tossed his luggage inside.
Standing in the living room looking at this apartment, Chen Fan felt a bit sentimental.
After tonight, he probably wouldn't be living here anymore, and likely wouldn't come back to stay very often.
This apartment was the first property Chen Fan bought after being reborn.
Chen Fan had quite an emotional attachment to this place.
It had witnessed his four years of college life and the start of his entrepreneurship.
It had also witnessed Chen Fan and Su Ruochu's campus love story.
But life is meant to move forward.
After reminiscing for a while, Chen Fan went to the study to grab a set of keys, then left.
Since Su Ruochu's roommate wasn't leaving until the afternoon, Su Ruochu had called to say she wouldn't have lunch with Chen Fan.
With nothing else to do, Chen Fan decided to go to Yuhai Garden.
He wanted to clean up the new house there.
That was where he and Su Ruochu had rented in his previous life.
It was also the surprise Chen Fan had bought for Su Ruochu's birthday in this life.
Starting tomorrow, Chen Fan would be living in Yuhai Garden from now on.
