Chapter 627: The Wheel of Fate Turns Back Again
As the car entered Yunhai's territory, Chen Fan sat in the back seat, resting with his eyes closed.
He had stayed in the capital city for 5 days.
During these 5 days, he had accompanied Su Ruochu to visit many places, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.
During this time, he also invited Su Ruochu's three roommates out for a meal together.
The three girls solemnly promised Chen Fan that they would definitely take good care of Su Ruochu and prohibit any boys from approaching her.
However, the pleasant holiday soon came to an end.
Upon returning to Yunhai, more serious matters awaited Chen Fan.
The grudge with the Zhao family ultimately needed to be resolved.
Before entering the residential complex, Chen Fan opened his eyes and slowly spoke.
"Old Feng, let's go to a supermarket first and buy some things before going home. The fridge at home seems to be completely empty."
"Alright," Feng Pojun responded briefly, focusing on driving.
Chen Fan thought of Su Ruochu's instructions before parting, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
Su Ruochu's younger cousin, Gao Xiaoxi, had been admitted to an art college in Yunhai.
She would start school in September.
Su Ruochu had reminded Chen Fan to visit the little girl on her behalf when he had time.
Chen Fan recalled the last time he had taken Gao Xiaoxi around Yunhai, and he had promised to accompany her for registration when school started.
But then he had been hospitalized after a car accident, and he had completely forgotten about it.
If Su Ruochu hadn't reminded him, Chen Fan might not have remembered at all.
As for Gao Xiaoxi, despite knowing his contact information, she hadn't called him once in all this time.
The car pulled into the supermarket parking lot and found a spot. Feng Pojun turned his head and said, "Boss, I'll go in and buy things. You can just wait in the car."
Chen Fan smiled and shook his head. "Let's go in together. My backside is sore from sitting for so long."
So the two of them got out of the car and walked into the supermarket together.
After being away from home for several days, Chen Fan estimated that the little food left at home had probably gone bad by now.
Since Su Ruochu started school, he had rarely cooked for himself at home.
Most of the time, he either ate something quick to get by or went to Ma Xiaoshuai's place to mooch a meal.
Feng Pojun carried a shopping basket while Chen Fan walked along, pondering what to buy.
Beer, drinks, snacks, fruits, sausages, instant noodles... He chose all the items typical of a happy single man's diet.
As Chen Fan picked items, he reminded Feng Pojun with a smile, "You've worked hard coming out with me. Take a look and see if there's anything you need too. We'll buy it together."
Feng Pojun rarely showed a simple smile. "I usually live alone and don't bother cooking. I just make do with small restaurants outside."
Chen Fan joked, "That's why I'm saying you should find a woman."
"There are so many female employees at our club, especially those beautiful yoga instructors. Isn't there anyone you're interested in?"
Feng Pojun shook his head, "I'm not considering that for now."
Chen Fan laughed and scolded, "You only want to live alone now, but you'll suffer when you're old. When you're sick in bed, with no one to take care of you..."
Feng Pojun laughed, "If that day comes, I'll move into a nursing home."
Chen Fan said with a smile, "I'm thinking maybe we should arrange a matchmaking event for the single young men in the company. To help everyone solve their single status problem."
"When we get back, I'll discuss it with Manager Ding and see if we can come up with a plan."
As Chen Fan spoke, he picked up a piece of beef, looked at it, and put it in the shopping basket.
"By the way, don't forget what we talked about before when we get back. Select a group of security guards to be transferred as bodyguards, and you'll train them personally."
Feng Pojun's expression became serious.
"Don't worry, boss. I'll definitely keep a close eye on this matter."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and added, "The time might be a bit tight. How about this: first select two security guards who have military experience and investigative skills, and send them to the capital to secretly protect Ruochu."
"When the first batch of bodyguards here is trained, we'll send them to replace those two."
Feng Pojun nodded, "Alright. I'll start working on this as soon as I get back today."
Chen Fan looked at the now-full shopping basket and nodded.
"This should be enough."
As he turned to leave, a sudden cry of pain came from behind him.
A girl behind him was rubbing her head, taking two painful steps back.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't see you."
The girl apologized nervously, bowing, then quickly crouched down to pick up the flyers that had fallen to the ground.
She had been walking too hastily and hadn't noticed Chen Fan coming out.
As a result, she had bumped right into him.
"Boss, are you alright?" Feng Pojun was startled and quickly came over to ask with concern.
Chen Fan rubbed his arm and shook his head.
"It's fine."
Saying this, he put down his crutch and crouched down to help her pick up the flyers.
"No, no, I can do it myself."
Seeing that Chen Fan was helping her pick up things despite his leg injury, the girl felt even more embarrassed.
After picking up the flyers and standing up, she kept apologizing.
"I'm really sorry, I'm always so careless and causing trouble. I'm so sorry, really sorry."
Chen Fan handed over the few supermarket flyers he had picked up.
The girl kept nodding, "Thank you, thank you. I'm really grateful."
"Be more careful when walking next time. Don't run too fast in the supermarket..."
Chen Fan's tone suddenly faltered, and he stared at the girl in front of him, his expression becoming strange.
The girl was wearing a pair of faded jeans, a white T-shirt, and a red vest provided by the supermarket. She had a delicate oval face and a very cute ponytail.
She looked like a child from an ordinary family, working a part-time job at the supermarket during her vacation.
She was tall and slender, very slim. Just like a youthful girl-next-door.
Seeing Chen Fan staring at her intently, the girl looked confused and a bit shy.
Not daring to meet Chen Fan's gaze, she blushed, quickly lowered her head, and softly said "sorry" before hurrying away with a stack of flyers.
Looking at her retreating figure, Chen Fan remained speechless for a long time.
"Boss?"
Feng Pojun noticed Chen Fan's unusual behavior and quietly reminded him.
Only after her figure disappeared did Chen Fan withdraw his gaze. The expression on his face became even more complex.
Surprise, shock, complexity, and pain...
Feng Pojun looked on in confusion.
What did the boss's expression mean?
Did the boss know this girl?
"Let's go."
Chen Fan didn't explain, and strode towards the checkout counter.
After they queued up and paid, as they were about to leave the supermarket, Chen Fan turned to look back once more.
In the distance, he could see the clumsy girl from earlier enthusiastically handing out flyers to customers entering the supermarket.
After glancing at her face one more time, Chen Fan withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.
Even after getting in the car, Chen Fan didn't say a word.
It wasn't until the car stopped at the next traffic light that Chen Fan murmured a name he had almost forgotten.
"Yang... Shuting."
"Fate... has indeed come full circle."
