A few days later, Luo Wenjie's parents came to the school to pack their son's luggage.
Chen Fan was actually reluctant to show up because he didn't know how to explain to the other party what happened to Luo Wenjie.
The five guys in dormitory 519 were all gathered and stood in the room, watching the two couples wearing old clothes, who looked like they were from the countryside, quietly sorting out their son's storage cabinet.
While sorting out her son's clothes, Luo Wenjie's mother finally couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears while holding one of her son's clothes.
Wu Di and Ma Xiaoshuai wanted to go up and help, but were rejected by Luo Wenjie's father.
He packed all his luggage silently, sealed his pockets with several fertilizer bags, and then carried them one at a time.
"Uncle, let's do it."
This time the slightly older-looking young man did not refuse.
Wu Di and his friends went up, each carrying a bag.
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
The young man was obviously not very good at socializing and had only spoken a few words since he entered the room.
Before leaving, he took a look at his son's bed.
"Please throw away the mattress, slippers and other things."
Following behind and watching this scene, Chen Fan discovered that the old man, who already had a hunched back, had bent even more.
In the corridor, many students stood at the door and looked at this scene curiously.
They all knew the news that Luo Wenjie had been arrested.
The rural couple couldn't stand such looks, so they quickly went downstairs with their heads down and kept silent.
As they were walking towards the school gate, Chen Fan took out a bank card from his pocket.
"Uncle, I met Luo Wenjie two days ago."
"He asked me to give you this card."
Seeing the puzzled look on the elderly man's face, Chen Fan explained in a low voice: "This is the money Luo Wenjie earned. He asked me to give it to you two elders."
A look of sadness flashed across the face of the young man from the countryside.
"He's doing illegal business. I don't want the money."
The mother beside her opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.
Chen Fan explained: "It's hard to explain Luo Wenjie's case in a few words, but he has been punished and the fine has been paid."
"The remaining money is clean."
"He left it to you two."
"real."
Hearing this, the older man hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it.
"Thank you, kid."
Chen Fan shook his head and said nothing.
After watching the two people leave in the car, the people from 519 were not in a good mood.
"Old Chen, the verdict of Brother Jie's case should be coming soon, right?"
Chen Fan nodded: "It should be in these few days."
"How long do you think you'll be locked up?"
Chen Fan sighed and shook his head. He had no experience with this kind of thing.
He had already given all the money he needed to pay to Pang Longhai to smooth things over, and there was nothing he could do about the rest.
"Let's go. Go back."
When everyone turned around and walked back, they accidentally found Li Jiao standing at the school gate.
"You go back first."
Chen Fan waved his hand, signaling Ma Xiaoshuai and the others to go first.
Then a man came in front of Li Jiao.
"His parents are gone?" Li Jiao asked in a low voice with a complicated expression.
"Yeah. Just left."
Li Jiao looked at Chen Fan, "How long can he be sentenced?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "I don't know."
Li Jiao begged, "You are so capable, can't you help him?"
"He is your brother and he adores you the most."
Chen Fan sighed and did not explain that he had done everything he should do.
"Feel sorry……"
As he spoke, he took out a bank card from his pocket.
"This is what Brother Jie left for you."
Li Jiao took a look at it, did not refuse, and stretched out her hand to take it.
When he raised his head and looked at Chen Fan again, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"You could have done something, but you didn't."
"You don't deserve to be his brother."
After saying this, Li Jiao ran away without looking back.
Chen Fan shrugged and said nothing.
In early November, Luo Wenjie's case finally came to a conclusion.
Ten months’ imprisonment.
This was on the premise that Chen Fan spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to smooth the relationship.
Chen Fan was quite satisfied with this result.
After all, this time, Brother Jie ran directly into the muzzle of the action gun.
Before going to prison, Chen Fan went to see Luo Wenjie again.
Brother Jie has shaved off his long hair, but he looks pretty energetic.
I even joked with Chen Fan that it was worth it to save 20,000 yuan in ten months.
Chen Fan did not say anything about spending money privately to smooth over relationships.
I just comforted him and told him to obey orders and come out early.
In ten months, Luo Wenjie will not be able to graduate in time.
In fact, two weeks after the incident, Luo Wenjie was expelled from the school.
But for Brother Jie, it seems that he doesn't care about such trivial matters.
Luo Wenjie's matter came to an end, and Chen Fan resumed his busy life.
This weekend, I drove Su Ruchu out specially to relax and unwind.
But Su Ruchu was a little puzzled as to why they had to go so far to relax, even to the township under Yunhai City.
When asked about this, Chen Fan just said with a smile that he came here to relax and look for some talents for his future new company.
Su Ruchu was a little amused and helpless.
"Others recruit talent from universities or large companies with high salaries, but you come to the countryside to look for talent."
"I don't think you're telling the truth."
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This time he really didn't lie.
Because this town is the hometown of the Zhou Dynasty.
Chen Fan remembered that Zhou Wangchao said before that his hometown was here. After graduating from university, this guy returned to his hometown and worked as a township civil servant for a year.
As a result, I soon became bored with the stagnant job.
Ignoring his parents' objections, he quit his job and started his own business.
In the first year, he spent all the tens of thousands of dollars he had saved.
I had no choice but to find a job. I worked as a waiter, a laborer, and later as a sales consultant at a real estate sales office...
When Chen Fan's new company recruited Zhou Wang Chao, this guy had been unemployed for half a year.
If Chen Fan hadn't recruited him into the team, Zhou Wangchao would probably still be at the bottom struggling against fate all his life.
The two of them strolled around the town all day. Chen Fan would occasionally stop to ask passers-by if they knew Zhou Wangchao. Later, he simply stopped asking and started traveling with Su Ruchu.
Although the urbanization process of small towns is slow, they have their own unique scenery.
We ate delicious food, saw the green mountains and clear waters, and even went fishing and rowing a boat on the reservoir...
Compared with artificially built tourist attractions, the two prefer this kind of primitive natural scenery.
The smile on Su Ruchu's face never stopped throughout the whole day.
She likes this time alone with Chen Fan.
"I just heard from the fishmonger that there is an abandoned temple on this mountain. The houses inside are almost collapsed. Do we still want to go and take a look?"
Su Ruchu came over to ask Chen Fan for his opinion.
"If you want to go up and take a look, I'll go with you."
Chen Fan handed the ice cream he had just bought to Su Ruchu with a smile.
"Wait a moment."
Chen Fan took out his mobile phone from his pocket and answered the call.
"Okay. I understand. I'll talk to you when I get back."
After Chen Fan hung up the phone, Su Ruochu asked, "What happened?"
"Something happened at the company."
Chen Fan answered with a smile and looked up at the mountain opposite.
"Come on, I'll go up with you."
Su Ruochu suddenly shook his head.
"I feel a little tired, and it's getting late, why don't we go back?"
Chen Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm really fine, I can leave later."
"Being with you is the most important thing, everything else is trivial."
Su Ruochu looked at Chen Fan seriously.
"You can't do this."
"Girls' arrogance is a habit that boys have acquired."
"You can't get too used to me, or I'll become more and more unreasonable."
"Especially when it comes to your girlfriend and career, you have to be more rational."
"I can't help you much in your career, but at least I can do my best to not hold you back."
Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but reach out and gently hold Su Ruchu in his arms.
"I hope you will be happy in your life more than your career!"
