After dinner, everyone went to the KTV to sing. It was a place owned by Jinding Entertainment, so there was no need to worry about safety issues.

In a huge private room, Chen Fan sat on the sofa, watching the scene with a smile.

It feels like going back to college days.

"What does one think of?"

A chuckle came from the side, Chen Fan turned his head and found that it was Liu Qianqian who was looking at him with a smile.

Chen Fan smiled, reached out and patted the sofa next to him, motioning for him to sit down.

Liu Qianqian sat down next to Chen Fan with a bottle of beer.

"Time flies. In the blink of an eye, it's been three years since I graduated."

Chen Fan smiled. He was also thinking about his college days just now.

"How's your work going lately? Are you getting used to it?"

"It's good. Much easier than my previous job."

Liu Qianqian turned her head and looked over: "I haven't thanked you formally yet. Thank you for helping me find a job."

"You should thank Brother Jie. He arranged it for you."

Liu Qianqian curled her lips: "He said you asked him to arrange it."

Chen Fan was a little amused, he didn't expect that Brother Jie would sell him out like this.

Ever since she was rejected after bravely confessing her love to Chen Fan last time, Liu Qianqian has been avoiding meeting Chen Fan, and her expression seems a little too natural every time they meet.

Liu Qianqian plucked up her courage and took the initiative to pass over a bottle of beer.

"Shall we have a drink?"

Chen Fan took the bottle, clinked it lightly with his opponent, and then took a sip.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qianqian held up the bottle and gulped it down as if she was going to drink it all in one gulp.

"Hey, isn't that necessary?"

Chen Fan quickly reminded.

As a result, Liu Qianqian listened and drank half a bottle of beer in one breath.

After drinking it, her face turned red but her eyes were sparkling.

He raised his hand and gently wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth.

"It's okay. I can drink a lot now."

"I have to cherish the opportunity to drink with you. You are a big boss now, and it may be difficult to see you in the future. The opportunities to drink with you will become more and more."

Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "How is that possible? We are old classmates, is it easy for us to meet?"

Liu Qianqian shook her head seriously.

"It's the same. Chen Fan, you are now the same as all of us."

"Even though you don't realize it, you've left all of us far behind."

"I think you will climb higher and higher in the future. I'm afraid that only a few of us old classmates can keep up with you."

"So, I have to cherish this opportunity to drink with you."

"When you leave the sea of ​​clouds, don't forget me, your old classmate."

Chen Fan smiled and shook his head.

"I will."

"By the way..." Liu Qianqian said with a seemingly casual smile, "I've found a partner."

"He's three years older than me. I'll introduce him to you guys next time."

Chen Fan was stunned. "Really? Then why didn't you bring him here this time so we can get to know each other?"

Liu Qianqian shook her head: "We all know each other. It would only make things more awkward if I came over."

Chen Fan asked with a smile: "How did you two know each other?"

"A colleague recommended him to me. He's quite good and treats me very well."

“I might get married next year.”

"Congratulations then. Remember to let me know when the time comes and I'll give you a big red envelope."

"No problem. What about you? When are you and your girlfriend going to get married?"

“Almost…”

"Can I take a photo with you?" Liu Qianqian hesitated and asked with a smile.

"What's the use of this?"

So Liu Qianqian took out her cell phone, approached Chen Fan, put her arm around Chen Fan, leaned over with her little face, and took a photo with Chen Fan with a smile.

"Okay. Now there are no regrets."

"When you become the richest man in the country, I will auction this photo off."

"Okay. Stop making fun of me."

Chen Fan smiled and waved his hands.

"By the way, why are you going to sing?"

"Let them sing. I'll take a rest."

"Then I'll go sing... Sorry to bother you, boss!"

Liu Qianqian stood up with a smile, waved to Chen Fan, then rushed into the room in front with a big laugh and ordered a song for herself.

"Don't cry, my dearest

Tonight I am like a blooming flower

Withering at the most beautiful moment

Your tears are also withered

Don't cry, my favorite

You know I will wake up again

Blink in the most beautiful night sky

My eyes are the brightest stars

Do you remember I proudly said

I have been to this world before..."

While Liu Qianqian was humming, her eyes secretly glanced at Chen Fan who was sitting on the sofa.

At this moment, Chen Fan was smiling and greeting Su Ruchu who had just finished singing.

First, he handed the other party a glass of water, then took a tissue and gently wiped the corners of Su Ruchu's mouth, his eyes as gentle as water.

Liu Qianqian used this song "Don't Cry, My Dearest" to bid farewell to her youth and love.

She knew that Chen Fan could always be hers.

Later, this man was destined to become the kind of person she admired.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening after the singing. The group dispersed and the driver Zhang Shun took Chen Fan and Su Ruchu home.

"Is it snowing?"

Halfway through the journey, Su Ruchu suddenly lowered the car window and shouted excitedly.

“It’s really snowing.”

"This is the first snow of the year. It's really wonderful."

Chen Fan looked at the girl with a smile and put his hands out of the window to catch the slowly falling snowflakes.

"Pull over for a moment."

Zhang Shun pulled the car over.

"You can drive the car back by yourself. It's only a short distance left, so we can walk back."

Zhang Shun nodded, but did not drive away. Instead, he drove obediently and followed his boss from a distance.

Su Ruochu excitedly took Chen Fan's arm and walked on the snow. Because it had just snowed, the ground was only shallow and footprints would be left after walking on it.

"Thank you, husband."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Are you moved by this? After we get married, if you wish, I will walk with you every day."

"That's fine. If you accompany me every day, there will be no surprises."

Su Ruchu looked up at the snowflakes falling under the street lights and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's really beautiful. I love snow the most."

Under the dim light, the girl wearing a cute knitted hat and a scarf looked up at the sky, and a snowflake fell on her long eyelashes.

This picture is very beautiful.

On the way back, Su Ruochu took Chen Fan's arm and asked with a smile, "Will work be even busier next year?"

Chen Fan nodded: "I guess so."

"By the way, is your dad still working on PHS?"

"Yes."

Chen Fan thought for a moment and suggested, "When you go back home for the New Year this year, you can hint to him that there are more and more personal cell phones nowadays, and the number of PAX users will increase."

"Persuade your father to leave early and find someone else."

Chen Fan remembers very clearly that starting from the next year, 2007, the popularity of Xiaolingtong began to decline.

If we withdraw early next year, we will still be affected, but if we withdraw two years later, we will suffer huge losses.

Su Ruchu explained: "My dad said there are still many PAX users."

"Even if there are more and more personal cell phones, PHS is cheap. There will always be users who want to use it. It shouldn't be as exaggerated as you say."

Chen Fan smiled and pinched Su Ruchu's nose.

"You're telling me about the sutra! Just go back and tell me. Did you hear me?"

"Hmph! I'm so domineering!" Su Ruochu puffed up his nose and glared at Chen Fan angrily.

Chen Fan looked at the snowflakes all over the sky and sighed.

The PHS era is coming to an end.

Next, it's time for the smartphone.

On January 9, 2007, the Apple iPhone was released.
