Chapter 724: The Greatest Reliance
After finishing the meal, Wu Di felt embarrassed and offered to pay the bill.
Chen Fan didn't try to fight him for it.
The group went outside to wait, and Ma Xiaoshuai couldn't help but ask, "What's going on with Brother Di?"
Chen Fan smiled, "You noticed it too?"
Ma Xiaoshuai rolled his eyes, "Obviously. When have we ever seen Brother Di act so submissive towards a woman?"
Luo Wenjie smiled beside them, "I'll find a chance to ask him later."
Chen Fan turned to Sun Hao and Han Xu, "What are your plans? When are you leaving?"
Han Xu said he only took one day off and had to leave on a flight later that night.
His flight was actually at 11 pm, coming and going on the same day. It was quite a tiring trip, which showed how much he cared.
Ma Xiaoshuai patted Han Xu's shoulder, "Thanks, man."
Han Xu gave a simple smile. No words were needed between good friends.
Sun Hao came with his girlfriend and they both took two days off, so they could leave tomorrow.
Luo Wenjie asked, "What's the plan now? Should we go singing?"
He glanced at Ma Xiaoshuai as he said this.
Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head, "Don't worry about me. I'm not that fragile. As long as everyone has fun, it's fine."
Liu Qianqian muttered, "I only took one day off. I have to work tomorrow morning."
Song Linlin linked arms with Liu Qianqian, "You live nearby. If necessary, we can have Xiaoshuai send you back after dinner."
Ma Xiaoshuai laughed, "How could it be my turn? It's better if Brother Jie sends her."
Luo Wenjie scratched his head awkwardly and looked at Liu Qianqian.
Liu Qianqian pouted, "No need. I'll take a long-distance bus back later."
At this moment, Wu Di and his girlfriend came out of the restaurant. Sun Lingxiu's gaze kept examining Chen Fan.
It seemed she had learned about Chen Fan's identity from Wu Di. Her eyes were full of curiosity towards Chen Fan.
Wu Di joked, "Old Chen, you really have face. The owner insisted on not charging us, but I didn't let him. In the end, we got a 70% discount."
Chen Fan didn't respond to this, but instead asked, "Everyone's discussing where to go next. Do you have any good ideas?"
"How about going singing?"
Chen Fan sighed.
Why did it feel like after graduation, everyone's social activities had become so limited?
It's rare to get together, and it seems like all they do is eat and sing.
"What's wrong? Does no one want to go singing?" Wu Di asked.
Luo Wenjie smiled, "It's not that we don't want to go. It's just that Han and Hao rarely come here. It would be better if we could find a place to chat for a while."
Of course, there was another reason. Ma Xiaoshuai had special circumstances today, so going singing might not be appropriate.
In the end, Chen Fan spoke up.
"Alright. I thought of a place where we can both be active and sing. Follow me."
"Where are we going?" Wu Di asked curiously.
"Just follow my car and you'll see."
With that, Chen Fan walked towards his car.
Liu Qianqian immediately pulled Song Linlin along.
"We'll ride in Chen Fan's car."
Ma Xiaoshuai's car had been in an accident, so he was driving his family's car today.
Song Linlin smiled at Ma Xiaoshuai and didn't refuse.
In the car, Liu Qianqian curiously asked, "Hey, big boss, where exactly are you planning to take us?"
Chen Fan smiled, "You'll know when we get there. I guarantee you'll have fun."
While driving, he took out his phone and made a call.
Chen Fan called Yan Qing.
"Hey, boss, remember that White Cloud Club from last time? If I want to bring some friends to play, can we get in?"
White Cloud Club was the place where Yan Qing had invited Chen Fan to the band rehearsal last time.
Yan Qing on the other end of the phone was surprised, "Aren't you a member there?"
Chen Fan thought for a moment, "I think so. I remember the manager gave me a membership card last time, but I don't know where I put it."
"It's fine, you don't need to bring the card. The people there should recognize you."
"So it's okay if I bring a few friends?"
"It would be a problem for regular members. But for a member of your level, of course it's no problem to bring people."
"Alright then. Enjoy yourself."
"Damn. Can you not ask me about these trivial matters in the future?"
They exchanged a few more jabs before hanging up.
Sitting in the back, Liu Qianqian and Song Linlin exchanged glances. They had heard the entire conversation.
It seemed Chen Fan was planning to take them to a club to play, and the person on the phone clearly had status, saying that ordinary members didn't have the privilege to bring guests, but members of Chen Fan's level had no restrictions.
Liu Qianqian felt a bit emotional.
It hadn't been that long since graduation, but Chen Fan had already grown to a level that everyone had to look up to.
She thought back to when they first met for dinner with the two dorms at the beginning of college.
At that time, she had even liked Chen Fan and pursued him twice, but unfortunately, Chen Fan wasn't interested in her.
In the car behind, Wu Di's girlfriend sat in the passenger seat and asked excitedly, "Is he really the boss of Ruofan Group?"
Wu Di smiled as he drove, "Of course. Why would I lie to you?"
Sun Lingxiu's eyes widened in excitement.
"You actually know such an important person?"
"And what surprises me is that such a big shot would actually come to your gathering."
Wu Di looked proud, "Old Chen is different from other big bosses. He's very approachable. And as you can see, when we get together, we're all brothers. No one treats him like a boss."
Sun Lingxiu pinched Wu Di excitedly.
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier? I never heard you mention it before."
Wu Di smiled, "Why would I talk about that?"
"You don't understand. This is all about connections."
"Do you know how impressive your old classmate is? In all of Yunhai, he's undoubtedly No. 1."
Wu Di was surprised, "Really?"
Sun Lingxiu was a bit exasperated, "You're really useless. You have such a good relationship right in front of you and you don't maintain it well. You know even less about him than I do."
"Let me tell you, right now, this Mr. Chen's personal wealth is not just top in Yunhai, but also undoubtedly in the first tier nationwide."
"He's a genuine diamond bachelor!"
Wu Di's mouth fell open.
He really didn't know.
Since becoming a civil servant, his relationship with everyone seemed to have become less close.
Wu Di was always busy socializing, working, flattering his superiors, and juggling between different women.
But Chen Fan, Brother Jie, and Ma Xiaoshuai still remained very close.
Sun Lingxiu excitedly took out a makeup mirror and casually asked while touching up her makeup.
"Your old classmate isn't married yet, right? Does he have a girlfriend?"
Wu Di glanced at his girlfriend, suddenly realizing something.
He absolutely couldn't let her know that his relationship with Chen Fan wasn't the closest.
Moreover, he might be able to use his relationship with Chen Fan to solidify his relationship with his girlfriend completely.
This might sound a bit convoluted, but that's how things were.
After all, this wasn't school anymore. In society, connections matter.
Being old classmates and buddies with Chen Fan was Wu Di's greatest reliance.
Thinking of this, Wu Di immediately joked.
"Why are you asking about this? Are you interested in him?"
Sun Lingxiu glanced at Wu Di, "Don't be ridiculous! I saw online that your old classmate isn't married yet, and many women on the internet want to marry him."
Wu Di smiled, "Don't even think about it. He has a girlfriend, and they're very close."
Sun Lingxiu snorted.
"That's not necessarily true."
"For a diamond bachelor of his level, who knows how many women are trying to find a way in."
