Chapter 725: Future Plans
The group arrived at the White Cloud Club. Chen Fan drove up to the entrance and merely lowered the window to show his face. He was immediately recognized by the security guards at the gate.
The two guards quickly stood at attention and even gave a salute.
"Good day, Mr. Chen."
"May I bring a few friends in to enjoy the facilities?"
"Of course. Mr. Chen, you're a diamond member of our club."
"Thank you."
Chen Fan nodded and continued driving inside.
In the back seat, Liu Qianqian and Song Linlin exchanged glances, deliberately making exaggerated expressions.
Song Linlin helplessly tugged at her companion, signaling her to be careful not to be seen by Chen Fan.
The place Chen Fan chose was still the villa that the band had contacted last time.
For young masters like Yan Qing, with their special status, there was always a dedicated resting place here.
Some might think it's extravagant or wasteful for a club to set aside an entire villa for one member, especially since Yan Qing might not even come once a month.
But for White Cloud Club, this wasn't even a question worth considering.
As long as Yan Qing was willing to accept their membership card, even if he didn't come once a year, it was still profitable for the club.
As soon as they got out of the car, club staff were already waiting there.
The leader was a young woman in a work uniform dress, who immediately approached Chen Fan with a smile.
"Welcome, Mr. Chen."
Chen Fan nodded, "I've brought a few friends over to relax today."
"That's absolutely fine. Do you have any special requests, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Fan waved his hand, "No need. We'll manage on our own."
"Very well. I hope you and your friends have a pleasant time. If you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to contact our staff."
The manager, knowing her place, didn't engage in unnecessary chitchat. After a brief exchange, she withdrew with her staff, leaving only one female employee to attend to any needs Chen Fan and his group might have.
Upon entering the villa, everyone was stunned.
"Wow! This is so luxurious."
"A big villa, look at these floor-to-ceiling windows... and the backyard is actually a golf course..."
"There's even a swimming pool over there..."
They exclaimed in amazement, as if they had never seen such grandeur before.
Chen Fan turned to the female attendant and instructed, "Bring us some fruit platters, and some soft drinks and beer. We don't need any other alcohol."
"Certainly, Mr. Chen. Please wait a moment."
Luo Wenjie and the others dramatically toured the villa before coming back down.
"Damn, Brother Fan, I can't believe Yunhai has such a high-class club."
Chen Fan rolled his eyes, "Isn't Medal Club pretty much the same?"
"How can that be the same? Your place might be luxurious, but it's focused on exercise and fitness, and the area isn't that big."
"Look at this place, how spacious is it? This is truly where rich people come to relax."
Luo Wenjie flopped onto the sofa, letting out a contented sigh.
"Money really is everything. I've decided, I must make big money, so I can get a membership here in the future."
"Hey, Brother Fan, what are the requirements for getting a membership here?"
Chen Fan shook his head with a smile, "I'm not sure."
"But I guess you'd need assets of at least 50 million yuan."
"50 million!"
They all looked at each other in disbelief. Guo Shuai grumbled dejectedly,
"When will I ever be able to earn that much money?"
Luo Wenjie immediately put on a determined expression.
"Class struggle! It's all about class struggle, comrades."
"We must work hard! We absolutely must work hard from now on."
Chen Fan laughed and scolded, "Stop talking nonsense. There's a karaoke room upstairs, along with a billiard room and a private cinema. Feel free to enjoy yourselves."
"Well, if you insist!"
Sun Hao, looking a bit embarrassed, held his girlfriend's hand, "Old Chen, the consumption here must be quite expensive, right?"
Wu Di laughed and patted Sun Hao's shoulder.
"You're such a fool. Do you think Old Chen would care about this small amount of money?"
"Besides, this is a rare opportunity. If it weren't for Old Chen, we wouldn't even be able to enter a place like this. Don't say anything more, let's just make the most of our time here."
"And don't even think about saving money for Old Chen."
Watching the group leave while making a ruckus, Chen Fan shook his head with a smile.
Everyone followed the same routine after that, first touring the place up and down, then finding their own areas of interest.
Guo Shuai accompanied his girlfriend to the karaoke room, while Old Han and Luo Wenjie were playing billiards.
Liu Qianqian dragged Song Linlin to the adjacent spa center to enjoy massages.
As for Wu Di and his girlfriend Sun Lingxiu, they were still touring around.
Wu Di had been reduced to a laborer, holding the camera to take photos for his girlfriend everywhere, only to be criticized for not taking good pictures, or regretting not bringing a DSLR camera.
Chen Fan ignored these two and took two bottles of beer outside.
By the poolside outside, Ma Xiaoshuai was lying under a sun umbrella, lost in thought.
Chen Fan handed him a bottle of beer.
"Are you alright?"
Ma Xiaoshuai sat up, took the beer and clinked bottles with Chen Fan.
"I'm fine."
Chen Fan sat down next to him and said calmly, "Don't worry. Guo Shuai has already sent his men to investigate the whereabouts of those remaining guys. Once they're found, they won't have a good ending."
Ma Xiaoshuai felt touched. Among all these roommates, Chen Fan was always the most understanding, always able to see through everyone's concerns.
"Thanks."
"We're brothers, no need for that."
Ma Xiaoshuai took a sip of beer, turned his head and smiled, "You've been here before? How come I never heard you mention it?"
Chen Fan nodded, "I was here before with some young masters to form a band, we rehearsed here for a while."
Ma Xiaoshuai nodded, "To be able to occupy a villa here for a long time, this friend of yours must have quite a special status."
Chen Fan joked, "I'll introduce you next time."
Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head, "Forget it. With my status, they probably wouldn't even give me a second glance."
Chen Fan changed the subject, "What are your plans now?"
"Do you want to take over your father's business?"
Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head.
"After my dad passed away, the people under him either left or scattered, and several cars were damaged, causing a big loss."
"Besides, to do this business, you need connections in all walks of life, you need to be diplomatic, I'm not suitable for that."
Chen Fan smiled, "I can help you. With me around, what are you afraid of?"
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Let's forget about it."
"I don't like dealing with those kinds of people."
"And I've already talked with my mom, she doesn't want me to continue in this line of work either."
"My mom said we'll sell all the cars from the fleet gradually, then buy a house, and let me and Linlin get married."
Ma Xiaoshuai looked at Chen Fan and said with a smile, "I'm the kind of person who doesn't like dealing with others, I prefer a simple life."
Chen Fan shook his head, "You're just too fond of lying flat."
"What does 'lying flat' mean?"
Chen Fan was about to answer when Luo Wenjie suddenly walked over with a grin.
"I've been looking all over, so this is where you two are hiding."
"Why aren't you playing anymore?" Chen Fan asked with a smile.
Luo Wenjie, however, came over mysteriously, "I've figured it out."
"What?"
"Brother Di's girlfriend. I've figured out her identity."
Seeing Chen Fan and Ma Xiaoshuai looking at him, Luo Wenjie said proudly.
"This girl is the daughter of the deputy director of the Health Bureau."
Hearing this, Chen Fan immediately showed a look of understanding.
"No wonder!"
"No wonder Brother Di is so subservient... turns out he's trying to take a shortcut."
