Mixed in 1980

Chapter 227 Encirclement and Suppression of Chen Fan
Senior year, next semester!

Like in previous years, my roommates came back with local specialties. After six months of internship, everyone had matured a lot and had a more workmanlike temperament.

Well...Sun Ping'an doesn't have it on him. The middle-aged man has already matured. After the New Year, he comes back looking like he is about to be squeezed dry. It's no joke that the middle-aged man soaks wolfberries in a thermos cup.

Women are like wolves at thirty and tigers at forty!
Seeing Sun Ping'an's appearance, Chen Fan couldn't help but think of himself, who had three wives.

Now that I am young and full of energy, it will be no problem for me to take care of my three wives. But when I am over 40, it may not be the case. I might even be punished by my wives.

"You can't slack off on maintaining your health!"

Chen Fan sighed secretly and planned to go back to Heniantang to find old man Wang Hetang and get some prescriptions for food and medicine to help him stay energetic into middle age.

In contrast, the three brothers Xin Yingjie, Cao Yang and Chen Jianye have changed a lot, especially Chen Jianye, who has become more aggressive.

The young man, who was already very enthusiastic, became even more dazzling after gaining more vigor. Chen Fan curiously asked, "What big things did you accomplish during your internship?"

Chen Jianye chuckled and said, "My internship performance was pretty good this time. The leader of my unit came to talk to me and asked me to hire someone from the school as long as I'm willing."

Perhaps this was the starting point of Chen Jianye’s previous life.

"I have a friend who is the head of the foreign trade department. I wanted to introduce you to each other. Why don't you consider it? The prospects of foreign trade are not bad."

After all, they had been roommates for four years, so it was impossible for them not to have feelings for each other. Chen Fan had long considered giving Chen Jianye a new starting point when he was assigned a job after graduation.

If the starting point is different, the future may change.

No matter what the final result is, it will not be worse than the original historical trajectory. At that time, Chen Jianye was living on peanuts.

"Thanks, man, but forget it."

Chen Jianye chuckled and said, "My buddy found a date during his internship. She works for him. I'll go back and get the certificate after I get my diploma."

Chen Fan was stunned. Why did this happen?
It seems that there is no hope of changing his starting point. I can only give him more instructions before graduation to prevent him from going down the same old path, but that may not be useful.

Within the system, the path you take may not necessarily be the one you want to take. You may be pulled by others, or you may be pushed by others. It may not be your own choice.

Compared with Chen Jianye, Xin Yingjie and Cao Yang have nothing to worry about. One is the future boss of the Ministry of Commerce, and the other is the boss of the ICBC head office.

Especially Cao Yang, once his destined girl appears, his life will be like a cheat.

However, this boy's love life was very bumpy when he was in college. From freshman to senior year, he pursued several girls, but nothing happened.

Sometimes I even cry!
The roommates all remembered it clearly in their diaries, and they all planned to use this to make money from Cao Yang for the rest of their lives. Anyway, when they asked him to do something in the future and it was difficult to get it done, they would use this as an excuse.

After chatting in the dormitory for a while, Chen Fan drove to the small courtyard outside Xinjiekou with local specialties. Xu Jinqiu and Guan Xiaoyu were helping Zeng Ajing clean up.

"Why do you two care about her? Doesn't she have a boyfriend? Ask her boyfriend to come and clean up."

Zeng Ajing was already old enough and could not resist the repeated urging from her family to get married. There were also many guys pursuing her at school, and she finally got together at the end of last year.

The person he was talking about was a first-year graduate student at Peking University. Not only was he one year older than Chen Fan, he was also three years older. Last year, near the end of the semester, he had come to his house for dinner.

When the young man called him brother-in-law, Chen Fan's scalp went numb and he almost complained: "Brother, you are three years older than me."

Chen Fan dragged Xu Jinqiu and Guan Xiaoyu into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and disappeared. Zeng Ajing was stunned. She thought her brother-in-law was really narrow-minded.

Didn't I just deliberately let my partner call me brother-in-law when he came to my house for dinner? Why do I still hold a grudge against him? I am young and look immature, who can I blame?

After school starts, I will definitely invite my boyfriend to my house for dinner often, and I will call him brother-in-law all the time, if for no other reason than to make him feel a little more uncomfortable.

As soon as Chen Fan returned home, Sun Shaojie came to his door.

The old guy had lost some weight after the Chinese New Year and looked a little haggard, with particularly obvious dark circles under his eyes. When he saw Chen Fan, his expression looked particularly ugly.

"You son of a bitch, why are you so mean?"

Sun Shaojie held his waist. Just a few days after returning to work after the Chinese New Year, he realized something was wrong. It was like his wife had become a different person, tormenting him in different ways every day.

He is in his thirties and has been sitting in the office for a long time. How can his body withstand the torment from his young wife?

He was beginning to regret remarrying!

After repeated questioning several times, his wife finally let it slip that it was Xu Jinqiu who instigated it behind the scenes. Sun Shaojie was sure that Chen Fan was the real culprit behind the scenes.

Seeing this, Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, when you reach middle age, you have no choice but to soak wolfberries in a thermos cup. You still have to pay attention to your health."

"Grandma..."

"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but if you have kidney deficiency in your thirties, what will happen in another ten years? In ten years, my sister-in-law will only be thirty. As the saying goes, thirty is like..."

"Grandma..." Sun Shaojie was angry.

What he meant was that in another ten years, he might still have a green head? If he didn't teach this guy a lesson, he would never get over the anger he felt today.

Seeing him rubbing his hands, Chen Fan hurriedly added: "But it can be cured!" Sun Shaojie paused, and Chen Fan said: "My three wives were all cured, yours is just a small problem."

"How to treat it?" Sun Shaojie's eyes lit up.

"Call me brother!"

If the term "godfather" wasn't popular these days and there was a risk of getting beaten, Chen Fan would have wanted him to call him "godfather".

Sun Shaojie had no moral integrity in this matter: "Brother, how to treat it?"

"Go to Heniantang to find old man Wang Hetang. In addition to prescribing medicine, remember to learn the Eight-part Vajra Exercise from him. The effect is very good. By the way, the old man loves to drink."

"Okay, I'll be right back!"

Sun Shaojie took note of it and then got down to business. After more than a month of hard work, the inspection work on the shipyard, polyethylene and highway had been completed.

The investment intention has been fully implemented, and Sun Shaojie came to invite Chen Fan to attend the negotiations.

"Isn't Zhou Wenya here? You can just talk to Zhou Wenya. There are a lot of details to deal with after several projects. I don't have the time for that."

Hearing this, Sun Shaojie looked disdainful.

There are many big bosses who are busy all day long, but it is rare to see someone as leisurely as Chen Fan. He is the typical person who has time to spend with his wife but no time to do proper work.

But what Chen Fan said was not wrong. It would take several months for all the big and small things to be completed before the financing of the three projects could be finalized.

Sun Shaojie knew Chen Fan's character, and it was indeed difficult for him to attend the whole thing, but the higher-ups had organized an investment summit, and there was also a signing intention meeting at the summit, which would be used as material for external publicity and was just a facade job.

This kind of facade work concerns the reputation of many big guys. No matter how rich Chen Fan is, he can't possibly humiliate the face of a group of big guys.

On the day of the investment promotion summit, Chen Fan arrived early, cooperated throughout the whole process, stayed honestly for the whole day, and drank with a group of bigwigs in the evening.

Drinking with a bunch of big guys feels really tiring. Not to mention investment matters, there is also an age difference between them and I am the junior one.

The big guys are usually more serious than each other, but they are all frivolous in private. They are good at bullying the younger generation and often tease Chen Fan about marrying a third wife.

It can also be regarded as the care of the big guys!
They treat him as a junior and only make a few jokes with him. If it were anyone else, the big guys would be very serious and a glare from them would make the people below them unable to sit still.

After staying here for two days, as soon as the bosses left, Chen Fan also left. The general things had been decided, and the remaining details could be left to the team.

Chen Fan was not really idle. The first land auction in Hong Kong in 1984 was about to take place, and it was also the first land auction of the year. In order to create momentum for the property market, 15 plots of land were put up for grabs at one time.

As soon as things here were finished, Chen Fan boarded a plane and went directly to Hong Kong. Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan were both here, waiting at the airport gate.

Li Hongying also came to pick us up at the airport.

Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan stayed at Li Hongying's house this time. They had no plans to live at Chen's cottage in Repulse Bay again.

That place has been reported too many times, and it might have been targeted by someone with ulterior motives. Chen Fan plans to keep it for a few years and put it up for sale when the housing prices rise to a certain level.

Recently, Zhou Wenya also helped to acquire several villas and large flats, but Chen Fan had no plans to move in for the time being and would stay at Li Hongying's house first.

Seeing Chen Fan, Li Hongying's face was not very good: "After the incident last time, the real estate developers in Hong Kong are already discussing how to jointly suppress you."

"How to encircle and suppress?" Chen Fan was stunned.

"How else can we encircle and suppress them? As long as you like the land, you don't have to be too ruthless. Just ask for a few more prices and you'll be in trouble."

Li Hongying glared at him, he was still too arrogant!
The last time Liu Jianxiong was dealt with, it seemed very satisfying, but there were also many hidden dangers. After all, Liu Jianxiong was a local tyrant, and Chen Fan was a newcomer.

If the local tyrants unite, no matter how ferocious the dragons from across the river are, they will not have an easy life.

Now, the consequences are here.

Even if the real estate market collapses and the market is sluggish, many companies still have to rely on land development to make money or maintain the operation of the company in order to slowly overcome the difficulties.

But Chen Fan made too much noise. He swept through the land auction and took away all the land. This was cutting off people's source of income, and others would not just sit there and watch.

“It’s not like they’re the only ones raising the price.”

Chen Fan shrugged and laughed coldly: "At worst, we can raise the price together and drive up the price of the land to see who can't hold on first."

Li Hongying couldn't help but pat him on the back: "Are you making a fuss? You're here to do business and make money, not to fight. What good will it do you to offend everyone?"

"Then I can't just give in and not take the land, right?"

“No one is stopping you from taking the land.”

Li Hongying took a deep breath and sighed, "It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Now that you've made a name for yourself as someone who's not easy to mess with, no one will be so foolish as to mess with you."

"Liu Jianxiong has set up a plan and invited many real estate developers. He intends to bow to you and wait for you to vent your anger. Then everyone can sit down and chat. Harmony brings wealth!"
