Chen Jianye pulled out a footcloth cut from a torn vest from under the table and started talking while wiping his feet.

"What's the reason? You and I both know it. It's just to see how successful our Xiaofan is."

"This kind of thing... is understandable, I can understand. After all, we are all ordinary people. If it were you, you would make the same choice."

"Although the brothers and sisters in our Chen family have had their ups and downs over the years and have occasionally quarreled, there has never been any major grudge. We have always supported each other and maintained this big family."

Li Jinqiu curled his lips: "I didn't say anything, I just reminded you."

"Yes, Auntie Mi-sama has been hinting to me privately, and it seems that she wants Chen Fan to help her daughter Xiao Wan."

Chen Jianye looked up.

"How can I help?"

"She didn't say it explicitly, but I guess she wanted to borrow money to help her daughter open a beauty salon."

"Did you promise her?"

Li Jinqiu shook his head: "I didn't respond to her."

"Also, my second aunt didn't ask for money, but she said during the chat that her son has been wanting to open a car repair shop for the past few years, but the money is not enough..."

Chen Jianye sighed, "Actually, when Xiaofan told me about his club in the hospital a few days ago, I expected this to happen."

"This kid is so concerned about his fourth uncle's affairs and spends a lot of money on them."

"How does this make others feel?"

Li Jinqiu glared at him: "What do you mean? Did Xiaofan spend money in the wrong way?"

"That's not what I meant."

Chen Jianye quickly explained: "I mean... since we are a family, this kind of thing is inevitable."

"You lent money to the fourth brother for his medical treatment, so you can't not lend it to others. If you don't handle it well, people will think of it."

Li Jinqiu was a little undecided, "What should I do? Should I lend you the money or not?"

"Didn't you guys just ask for money?"

"Yes."

"Then don't worry about it for now." Chen Jianye said calmly: "The money is earned by my son, let Xiaofan decide when the time comes."

Li Jinqiu was a little embarrassed: "I'm afraid that if I borrow money this time, I'll have to borrow money for something else next time. What if Xiaofan can't bear it..."

Chen Jianye just laughed and said, "Don't worry, your son can run such a big club and manage so many employees, how can he not handle such a small matter?"

Li Jinqiu suddenly sighed and felt a little distressed.

"This child has never enjoyed much happiness in our family since he was young. Now he is studying and starting a business outside. I dare not imagine how tired he is."

"This time when I came back, I saw that my son's face was thinner."

"I don't know if I eat on time at school."

"Okay, don't worry about these things. My son is not a child, how can he not know how to eat?"

Chen Jianye lay down on the bed and said, "You should change your perspective and stop treating me like a child."

Li Jinqiu seemed not to have heard what her husband said, and murmured, "I will go back to school tomorrow. I guess the next time I come back will be during the winter vacation during the Chinese New Year."

"No. I have to put my fall pants for winter and the sweater I knitted last year in my suitcase."

Watching his wife getting out of bed and busying herself again, Chen Jianye shook his head helplessly.

In this world, when everyone is concerned about how high you fly, only your parents care about whether you are tired from flying.

…

On the morning of the second day, Chen Fan drove back to school alone.

Because it is still summer vacation, there are very few students on the entire campus.

I didn't go to the dormitory, I just threw my luggage into the apartment, and then I took out all the food my mother had prepared from the suitcase and stuffed them into the refrigerator.

I had already made an appointment with Dian for lunch in advance to celebrate her discharge from the hospital and her recovery.

When Chen Fan arrived at the hotel, the time had not yet come. Chen Fan told the waiter his name and was led to the reserved private room.

Sit down and have two cups of tea, please order.

A little later, there was another person following behind him. Guo Wendong actually came with him.

Chen Fan stood up and greeted them with a smile, then pointed at Guo Wendong behind him.

"This guy happened to be here when you called, so he shamelessly came along. Just let him pay for dinner later."

Chen Fan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Guo Wendong.

"There's no need for an introduction between us. We're old acquaintances."

The three of them sat down, and Chen Fan looked at Xiao Dian and asked with a smile: "How is it? How is your recovery?"

Move your arms a little.

"The movement of this arm is slightly affected, but it's not a big problem."

"I want to get to work as soon as possible."

Chen Fan smiled. "Don't be so anxious, you can rest for a while longer."

But he shook his head resolutely.

"I'm bored at home, and I don't do any physical work at work, so I want to go to work as soon as possible."

Chen Fan asked again: "Are you really okay?"

"It's all right." He glanced at Chen Fan, "The club will open soon, and there are a lot of things to deal with. You are a hands-off boss who basically doesn't care about anything. As the general manager, I have to step in."

Chen Fan smiled.

"In that case, let's get to work. To be honest, I always feel uneasy without you watching over me at the club."

"Humph. Now you know how important I am. Be nice to me in the future."

Chen Fan looked innocent, "That's not good enough. He is not so arrogant in front of me."

He nodded and stretched out his hand: "Stop talking nonsense. Who said they would give me a car when I was in the hospital before?"

"Where's the car? Bring it here!"

Chen Fan laughed: "I still remember it."

"Nonsense. Of course I'll remember this kind of thing."

"You're not going to cheat, are you?"

Chen Fan shook his head. "No, I won't. I think it's best for you to choose the car yourself. It would be so embarrassing if I buy a car and you don't like it."

"Well, go to the store and choose anything under 100,000. I'll pay for what you choose as a reward for your contribution to the club."

"Hmph. That's more like it."

Guo Wendong sat aside and watched the two people chatting with a smile.

To be honest, there is not the slightest sign of a superior-subordinate relationship between these two people. Instead, they look more like close old friends.

And as a loser who once pursued that point, I understand it very well.

It can be seen that Chen Fan has no intention towards Xiaodian at all, but Xiaodian feels a little different towards Chen Fan.

At least I have known her for so many years, but I have never seen her act coquettishly towards that man.

During the meal, Xiao Diandong talked about business and asked Chen Fan what the club was going to be called this time.

Chen Fan answered without thinking.

"What's the name? It should still be called the Medal Club."

굜 Dian frowned and said, "Still call it a medal? Will it cause trouble?"

"The Zhao family is still holding a grudge against you for cheating them last time."

Chen Fanle.

"Let me correct you. I didn't cheat you. It was you who made bad investments. You are the ones who encountered demolition."

"Second, I sold the club to you. I didn't say I sold the name of the Medal Club to you."

"I have already applied for trademark registration for this word."

Of course, there is one thing Chen Fan didn't say. When the club first opened, Chen Fan signed endorsement contracts with several celebrities.

Other members, including Ren Xianqi and F4, arrived last year, but SHE and Jay Chou signed a three-year contract, and this year happens to be the last year.

If this is not used well, it would be a waste.

It is now 2003, and Jay Chou is extremely popular.

The right time, right place and right people, everything is perfect.

Chen Fan thought silently in his heart, why not invite Lao Zhou to sing a song when the shop is closed?
