Chapter 679: This Money Was Well Spent!
That night, the six people of 519 chatted a lot on the playground.
Sun Hao said he wanted to slowly save money with his girlfriend in Pudong for a down payment, and then propose to her.
Luo Wenjie said his biggest dream right now was to become the owner of the largest nightclub in Yunhai.
Every time he enters the club, a line of long-legged beauties would stand in two rows, bowing and shouting "Welcome, boss" to him.
This clearly showed his twisted taste.
Han Xu's dream was simple. He hoped to continue studying for a Ph.D. with his girlfriend after finishing his master's degree. The two of them wanted to be pure academic nerds.
As for Ma Xiaoshuai, he just wanted to live a simple life with Song Linlin.
When it came to Wu Di's turn, he cursed and said that love was just a fairy tale, and men should live for money and power in this life.
As long as you have money and power, you won't lack women.
To be honest, Chen Fan was a bit worried about Wu Di.
This guy's mindset seemed to have broken down a bit after being dumped by Su Qing. There were some small problems with his thinking.
If not corrected in the future, Chen Fan was worried that Wu Di might go down the wrong path.
Finally, it was Chen Fan's turn. Everyone asked him what his dream was for this life.
Without thinking, Chen Fan smiled and said,
"In the short term, my dream is to wait for my girlfriend to graduate, then marry her and prepare a grand wedding for her."
"As for the future, I hope to accumulate wealth in about 10 years. This way, when someone asks me the same question in the future, I can casually tell them that I have no dreams in this life anymore, because money is just a string of numbers to me..."
"F**k!"
The five people mercilessly gave Chen Fan the middle finger.
......
It was already past 1 am when they got home.
Chen Fan didn't wash up and went straight to the bedroom, gently getting into bed and hugging Su Ruochu from behind.
Su Ruochu, who was in a dream, opened her eyes, turned to look at him, then snuggled into Chen Fan's arms like a lazy kitten.
"You're back?"
"Mm-hmm."
"How was the gathering tonight?"
In the darkness, Chen Fan looked at Su Ruochu's bright eyes and thought for a moment before speaking.
"To be honest, it wasn't as lively as I imagined."
"After graduation, everyone seems to have changed quite a bit."
Su Ruochu smiled: "Who stays the same forever?"
"There is someone. In my eyes, you'll always be that pure love from my high school days."
Su Ruochu smiled sweetly, "You always know how to sweet-talk me."
Chen Fan reached out and hugged her.
"Wu Di and Su Qing broke up."
Su Ruochu was stunned, then sighed.
"That's a pity. After all, they dated for four years."
Chen Fan said: "I think Wu Di chose this result himself. He probably knew the consequences back then, but... he couldn't bear the loneliness and couldn't wait anymore."
Su Ruochu suddenly looked at Chen Fan with burning eyes.
"What about you?"
"We're in a long-distance relationship now, and it'll be three more years."
"What would you choose?"
Chen Fan smiled: "I'm different from him. We're not in a long-distance relationship."
"Besides, if I really can't stand the loneliness, I'll pack myself up and send myself to Beijing. Then I'll hug you and have a good meal, and I'll be fully recharged right away."
As he spoke, one hand was already mischievously reaching into her pajamas, grasping a soft mound.
Su Ruochu bit her lip to keep herself from making a sound.
"Wife."
"Hmm?"
"Among the six people in the dorm, only three couples from college relationships are still struggling to continue now."
"I don't care about others, but can we persist to the end?"
"I, Chen Fan, must marry Su Ruochu in this lifetime."
Su Ruochu nodded gently.
"Mm-hmm."
......
With just a few days left before the New Year, Chen Fan finally drove Su Ruochu back to their hometown.
During this New Year's visit home, Chen Fan barely had a moment of rest.
First, he visited Su Ruochu's family, leaving a pile of gifts, then he made a round of visits to his relatives' homes.
Unlike when he was in school, now the whole village knew that Chen Fan from the Chen family had made it big.
Besides Chen's relatives, neighbors would also come to visit.
Chen Fan would take out the prepared cigarettes and distribute them one by one, then chat and laugh with the elders.
Chen Jianye and Li Jinqiu were busy preparing for the New Year.
Cleaning, grinding tofu, slaughtering chickens and stewing pork, fermenting dough to steam buns, making dumplings...
From the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the old couple never had a moment to rest.
But they were enjoying it.
Because this was their moment to shine.
Their son was now their pride.
Especially when seeing their son sitting in the living room on the first floor chatting with visiting neighbors, Chen Jianye was always filled with satisfaction.
His son had indeed grown up.
For Chen Fan, this was the village where he was born, the place where he had lived for two lifetimes.
But it wasn't until he graduated, started working, grew up and came back again that he realized how small the courtyard he grew up in actually was, how small the playground where he played countless games as a child was, how narrow the roads in the village were, how low the old houses nearby were...
On New Year's Eve, they were supposed to make dumplings and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
According to custom, Chen Fan was supposed to have the New Year's Eve dinner alone with his parents at home, and then go to relatives' houses to pay New Year visits the next day.
But since Chen Fan became successful, this custom had changed.
On New Year's Eve, a group of Chen's relatives appeared early at Chen Fan's house.
From noon until evening, they prepared enough food to fill two large tables.
The New Year's Eve dinner tonight was also to be held here together.
And this rule would probably continue like this in the future.
In the evening, the lights were bright in the Chen family's villa, with everyone gathered around the dining table, raising their glasses in toasts.
Looking at the room full of men, women and children, Chen Jianye, as the eldest of the Chen family, felt very emotional.
Perhaps this was what people in ancient times called a thriving family.
After dinner, the women were washing dishes in the kitchen, while the adults were sitting in the living room playing cards and watching the New Year Gala.
Chen Fan sat on the sofa chatting with the adults, while also paying attention to the programs on TV.
For this year's New Year Gala, Chen Fan had the deepest impression of only two programs.
One was the skit 《Renovation》 by Feng Gong and Huang Hong, which left the classic joke, "Big hammer eighty, small hammer forty."
The other program was Shan Bao's skit 《Kung Fu》, which was also the finale of his "Selling Crutches" trilogy.
For northern children, Shan Bao was their biggest motivation to watch the New Year Gala.
However, Chen Fan wasn't paying attention to this, he was looking at the sponsors of the New Year Gala.
Before the New Year, Liang Shichu had lived up to expectations and finally brought good news to Chen Fan.
Feifan Technology had secured the title sponsorship and the midnight bell time announcement for this year's New Year Gala.
As the TV hosts Li Yong, Zhou Tao, Dong Qing, and Zhu Jun announced together.
"Dear friends, the midnight bell is about to ring, let's count down together 10, 9, 8..."
As the countdown began, a clock with Feifan Technology written on it appeared on the screen, with a line of large text below.
"Feifan Video wishes everyone a Happy New Year!"
Although it was only ten seconds long, seeing his own company appear on the New Year Gala TV broadcast,
Chen Fan's lips couldn't help but curl into an excited smile.
This money was well spent!
