Chapter 368: Why Didn’t You Bring Out This Good Stuff Earlier?

For the next few days, Chen Fan’s place became an entertainment center for a group of people.

The boys played games and cards here, while the girls danced, watched TV, and surfed the internet.

When they got tired, they could play games together or have a meal. It couldn’t be more perfect.

However, these lively days didn’t last too long.

After about 4 or 5 days, people gradually stopped coming.

Everyone wasn’t a fool without social skills. It was fine to gather occasionally and relax a few times, but if they gathered at Chen Fan’s place every day, it would be impolite even if he didn’t say anything.

Although Chen Fan himself didn’t mind these things and even welcomed everyone to come and have fun.

But every day, they saw Chen Fan alone, constantly answering phone calls, sometimes even making phone calls for remote meetings, spending over an hour alone in the study or on the balcony.

Everyone understood that Chen Fan was different from them. Besides being a college student, he was also an entrepreneur.

The first to stop coming were Liu Qianqian, Sun Min, and Lu Wei, the three girls from dorm 326.

They actually didn’t have much connection with dorm 519, it was just a friendship between associated dorms.

Moreover, except for Liu Qianqian, the other two each had boyfriends.

Everyone had their own lives, they couldn’t come and disturb others every day.

After that, it was Han Xu and Sun Hao, Su Qing and Wu Di.

In dorm 519, although the 6 people had deep feelings, there was always a difference in closeness.

Everyone also knew that in this dorm, Chen Fan, Ma Xiaoshuai, and Luo Wenjie had the closest relationship.

In the end, even Luo Wenjie stopped coming. It was said that his current girlfriend Li Jiao found out about him having dinner with Liu Qianqian at the apartment, and got angry about it.

Now Li Jiao was keeping a close eye on Luo Wenjie, requiring him to accompany her to the library for self-study every day.

In the end, only the thick-skinned Ma Xiaoshuai remained, carefreely staying in the apartment playing games every day.

His girlfriend Song Linlin, because of her very good relationship with Su Ruochu, could also come over frequently without needing to give notice.

So this apartment finally became an entertainment room for 4 people during the school lockdown period.

Chen Fan wasn’t so addicted to games, he would play with Ma Xiaoshuai for a while when he had nothing to do occasionally.

When Chen Fan wasn’t playing, Ma Xiaoshuai would pester Song Linlin or Su Ruochu to play together.

If the two girls were studying, Ma Xiaoshuai would play alone.

Through this period of gaming, Ma Xiaoshuai really managed to complete Contra with 3 lives.

It seems he really wasn’t lying back then.

Ma Xiaoshuai’s goal now was to try to achieve the one-life clear record for Contra and Double Dragon before the school lockdown ended.

Because of the lockdown preventing them from going out, regarding the company matters outside, Chen Fan could only contact the outside world through phone calls every day to understand the situation.

The club side wasn’t affected by SARS, the construction site was still operating normally.

Yesterday Ding Dian called to tell him that the main building was already completed, and Shi Qian’s company’s people had already left.

Ding Dian reported to Chen Fan how much money was spent on the final payment settlement.

Each item was detailed to several decimal places, giving Chen Fan a headache just listening.

Several times he interrupted saying there was no need to report, but Ding Dian was exceptionally serious, insisting on reporting every detail, and also told Chen Fan that she would keep all the receipts well, waiting for Chen Fan to check them again next time he came.

Faced with her persistence, Chen Fan had no way to refuse.

Finally, Ding Dian told Chen Fan that she had now started to supervise the decoration team doing the final decoration and installation.

Chen Fan directly threw the authority for decoration and material procurement of various venues to Ding Dian alone.

This way, the funds that needed to pass through Ding Dian’s hands would not be a small number, but Chen Fan spoke of it lightly, expressing great trust in Ding Dian.

In fact, what Chen Fan is most grateful for now is that he brought Ding Dian into his team back then.

Otherwise, relying on himself alone, the club would definitely not be able to be settled so quickly.

“When do you estimate the club can be completely finished?”

On the other end of the phone, Ding Dian answered without hesitation.

“It’s estimated that the decoration will be almost done by May, and the equipment will be in place, but to be fully open for business, it might have to wait until June or July.”

Chen Fan thought about it, it would be just right during the summer vacation.

“The timing is not a problem, you just need to ensure that all the venues of the club have no issues.”

After hanging up the call with Ding Dian, Chen Fan made another call to Liang Shichu.

Now Feifan Technology has undoubtedly become a star internet company in China.

Its mini-game 《Blood Battle on Shanghai Beach》 has already broken the 10 million player mark, and Feifan Technology’s heavyweight product, Feifan Security Guard, has now also broken the 30 million download mark.

It’s undoubtedly a national-level software.

Although the security guard can’t make money like Feifan Antivirus yet, Chen Fan doesn’t mind.

In fact, he didn’t intend to make money from the security guard.

His purpose was to make the security guard a national-level platform, so that when he wanted to do anything in the future, he could develop based on this platform.

Of course, it’s a bit early to talk about these things now.

On the other end of the phone, Liang Shichu reported to Chen Fan that there was an Internet Product Summit, and the organizers had sent an invitation to Feifan Technology.

“Internet Summit?”

Chen Fan frowned: “What’s it for?”

“It seems to be about gathering a group of domestic internet bigwigs to discuss the current problems of internet entrepreneurship in China, how to get through the internet winter, how internet companies should develop after joining the WTO, and a series of other issues…”

Liang Shichu introduced what he understood.

Chen Fan felt a headache listening to it.

“I’m not interested, if you’re interested you can go and participate.”

“Boss, you’re not going? This is a good opportunity. Many big shots will be there.”

Chen Fan asked, “Who will be there?”

“The three major domestic portals Sohu, Sina, NetEase, as well as Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, JD, and other emerging companies…”

Chen Fan thought, wow, they’re all future big shots.

However, these latter few are still in the stage of struggling to climb up, maybe their development is not even as good as Feifan Technology.

“Old Liang, why don’t you represent the company at this summit? Going to network with a few internet bigwigs will also be good for our company’s future development.”

“I won’t go, I’m still under school lockdown here, can’t get out.”

Before Liang Shichu could say anything, Chen Fan said with a smile that he had something else to do and directly hung up the phone.

Coming out of the study, he saw Ma Xiaoshuai lying on the sofa in the living room, playing games in a very comfortable posture.

Beside him, Su Ruochu and Song Linlin, probably tired from studying, were fiddling with the DVD player Chen Fan had bought.

Song Linlin was glaring at Ma Xiaoshuai with an annoyed face.

“Can you stop playing? We want to use this to watch a movie.”

Ma Xiaoshuai glanced over, “Don’t bother, I’ve already searched, Old Chen bought this thing without buying any discs, he’s too unreliable.”

Hearing this, Chen Fan smiled, ran to the attic, and came down after a while with a cardboard box, placing it on the tea table.

“What’s this?” The three looked at each other.

Chen Fan opened the box in front of the three, revealing the discs inside.

“Holy… crap!”

Ma Xiaoshuai cried out, even stopping his game, and pounced over directly.

“Damn, damn… Old Chen, you’re so unfair.”

“Why didn’t you say earlier that you had so many discs?”

This guy got excited, voluntarily ended the game, and started to help install the DVD player.

After installation, Ma Xiaoshuai looked back at the three people behind him proudly.

“How about it? Your brother’s skills are not bad, right?”

Chen Fan gave a thumbs up: “Not bad, not bad. With these skills, you definitely won’t starve after graduating from university!”

“Get lost!”

Ma Xiaoshuai cursed with a laugh, then looked to the side.

“Ladies, what movie do you want to watch?”

Song Linlin, eating watermelon, said with a grin: “Just find any one. Better if it’s a light-hearted comedy.”

“OK! No problem.”

Ma Xiaoshuai lowered his head and rummaged through the cardboard box for a while, finally taking out a disc.

“This one it is…”
