Chapter 530: That Person Has Come Again
Chen Fan didn't take today's events to heart at all.
After all, for young masters like Yan Qing at this level, they do things purely based on their likes and moods. Perhaps he just came to the club on a whim to take a look.
After that day, Chen Fan continued to accompany Su Ruochu to the club every day.
They would exercise for a morning, have lunch at the cafeteria, then return to Yuhai Garden. In the afternoon, they would either watch TV and chat at home together, or go out shopping, all depending on Su Ruochu's interests.
Su Ruochu noticed that Chen Fan had been somewhat distracted these days, and had become very dependent on her.
Sometimes if he couldn't see her for a while, Chen Fan would become very anxious.
Su Ruochu didn't think much of it, assuming it was because they would soon be separated when she goes to Beijing for graduate school, making Chen Fan feel reluctant to part.
So she could only become gentler, trying her best to soothe Chen Fan's emotions.
On August 16th, Su Qing came to Yunhai.
A group of old classmates who hadn't gathered for a while finally got together again.
Chen Fan and Su Ruochu, Ma Xiaoshuai and Song Linlin, and then Wu Di and Su Qing.
The three couples, six people in total, reserved a private room.
Although they hadn't seen each other for just over a month, it didn't affect the friendship between the old classmates at all.
Song Linlin had come to Yunhai early. She had been traveling around with Ma Xiaoshuai for half a month, and these few days the two were looking for jobs.
Wu Di had already started to gradually adapt to the life of a civil servant. As soon as he sat down at the dinner table, Wu Di's complaints never stopped.
He complained about his work, endless meetings every day, endless reports to write, and whenever there was work to be done, it was always the new interns like them who had to do it. The old guys just needed to sit in the office with a pack of cigarettes, a cup of tea, and a newspaper to leisurely pass the day.
"Sigh, you guys don't know, being a civil servant is just like that. Low salary aside, you're as tired as a grandson paying off debts."
Ma Xiaoshuai joked: "Who doesn't know that you guys don't care about the salary, but the benefits."
"Cut it out," Wu Di complained, "That little salary isn't even enough for me to spend alone. Busy during the day at work, and after work, there are endless drinking parties."
"Let me tell you, these guys can really drink. I originally thought I was good enough, but in our Health Bureau, my alcohol tolerance only ranks fourth at best."
Wu Di patted his belly: "After working for over a month, I haven't learned any work experience, but I've learned a lot of experience in drinking parties. Look at this belly, it didn't change in four years of college, but after working for a month, I almost got a beer belly."
Chen Fan reminded him: "You still need to be careful, watch out for getting high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol at a young age."
Wu Di looked at Chen Fan and joked: "Why do I feel like after not seeing you for over a month, Old Chen, you've become more handsome?"
"Keep going. I love hearing that."
Chen Fan smiled and showed off his biceps.
"I've been exercising every day lately."
"Damn. Look at his life. While we're working like oxen and horses, he even has time to exercise."
"So this is how you rich people live such a simple and unadorned life!"
"No wonder there are so many people who resent the rich in society."
Chen Fan waved his hand: "Don't include me, I'm not rich."
"Cut it out, we're all our own people here, Old Chen, you don't need to pretend."
"We've all seen the recent news reports, who doesn't know you've struck it rich."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, then looked towards Ma Xiaoshuai.
"What have you two been busy with lately?"
"Busy with market research."
Ma Xiaoshuai ate a chopstick of food and sighed.
"Recently, Linlin and I have been all over the city, wanting to research the market and see what business would be profitable."
Chen Fan smiled and asked: "How's the investigation going?"
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled bitterly: "The result of the investigation is that no industry is easy."
"Starting your own business is even harder."
Wu Di joked: "With your rich second generation status, why bother starting a business? Just go back and inherit the family business. Just based on those dozens of sand trucks your family owns, is there any industry that makes money faster than that?"
"Cut it out, that's my family's business, not mine."
Chen Fan couldn't help but ask: "How about it? Have you made a decision now?"
Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Song Linlin and nodded.
"We plan to work at a milk tea shop first to gain some experience in running a store, then start our own milk tea shop."
"Milk tea shop?"
Chen Fan pondered: "If you choose a good location, a milk tea shop could really work."
It's now 2004, milk tea shops aren't as ubiquitous as they will be in more than ten years in the future.
If you choose a good location, opening a milk tea shop can really earn a lot.
Seeing Chen Fan affirm their idea, Song Linlin was very happy.
"You think it's feasible too?"
Chen Fan nodded: "A milk tea shop doesn't need a large store location, the initial investment isn't much for Xiaoshuai, you can ask your family to help with some of it. As long as you choose a good location, it's 100% profitable."
Ma Xiaoshuai then asked: "Where do you think is the best location?"
Chen Fan smiled: "Do you even need to ask? Either in a busy area, or near a school gate."
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded slightly, "That's about what I thought, I plan to rent a storefront in the university town area."
"Good." Chen Fan nodded, "But you need to be aware, I think there are already milk tea shops open there, right?"
"Mm. There are already two."
"Then it all depends on your skills."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and gave another suggestion.
"You can go check if there are any storefronts for rent next to the First Encounter internet cafe."
"Oh yeah." Ma Xiaoshuai's eyes suddenly lit up.
"How could I forget that you have an internet cafe there too. Hey, brother, if I open a milk tea shop next to you, you eat the meat and I'll drink the soup, that should work, right?"
Wu Di raised his glass: "Alright, let's stop chatting for now. Everyone, let's raise our glasses together, for everyone's bright future after graduation, let's all have a drink."
Ma Xiaoshuai laughed: "Brother Di is speaking more and more like a leader now."
......
The next day, Wu Di had to work and couldn't take time off. Chen Fan drove Su Ruochu and Su Qing, while Ma Xiaoshuai drove Song Linlin, and the group went to the club to play.
Entering the club, the three girls naturally headed straight for the yoga studio, while Chen Fan took Ma Xiaoshuai to the shooting range.
Feng Pojun ran over to report: "That person from last time has come again."
Chen Fan was stunned: "Did he come with Tong Yao?"
Feng Pojun shook his head.
"He came alone."
Chen Fan couldn't understand what this Young Master Yan was up to.
So he instructed Feng Pojun: "Tell the staff at the shooting range to serve him as best as possible."
"Alright."
Bringing Ma Xiaoshuai into the shooting range, Chen Fan scanned the area with his eyes, and sure enough, he immediately saw Yan Qing playing with a gun by himself.
It was Ma Xiaoshuai's first time at the shooting range, and he got excited as soon as he entered.
"Do you have an AK-47? Let me try one first."
Chen Fan helplessly said: "Brother, I'm not an arms dealer."
Ma Xiaoshuai chuckled, "I'm just joking with you."
Then he excitedly rubbed his hands together.
"I'm very skilled with handguns usually, today I finally have the chance to touch real guns."
