Chapter 68: How to Tell If a Girl Likes You
On the first day when Chen Fan took over Global Village, he issued his first order.
The internet cafe temporarily closed for renovations.
All computers were moved into the backyard warehouse.
Three employees were given paid leave, waiting for the notice of reopening.
The next day, Chen Fan started contacting the renovation team to come in.
Truck after truck of renovation materials were brought into the internet cafe.
The boisterous renovations were in full swing.
Global Village's actions left the other internet cafes on the same street perplexed.
They were puzzled as to why the boss of Global Village was renovating.
Wasn't it said before that they wanted to transfer ownership?
Was it the new owner who was doing this?
Some people wanted to come and investigate, but they only saw construction workers.
Chen Fan was extremely busy these past two days, with barely any time to catch his breath.
He started off by selectively attending classes, but later skipped any class he could.
Most of his time was devoted to the internet cafe renovation.
The renovation style he wanted was completely modeled after the internet cafes of the future era.
To achieve that effect, Chen Fan invested all the remaining fifty thousand yuan he had.
Now cash was flowing out like water every day.
Time is money, and if he didn't hurry up with the renovation, he would soon be unable to even pay the workers' wages.
For this reason, Chen Fan broke his promise for the second time, turning down the invitation to dine with the associated female dormitory he had previously agreed to.
This behavior greatly displeased his dormitory brothers, especially the president Wu Di, who was quite angry.
Previously, he had boasted in front of the girls, saying he would definitely bring everyone along.
But now Chen Fan had stood them up again, causing the president to lose face.
Of course, the girls from the associated female dormitory also remembered this guy named Chen Fan.
However, Chen Fan no longer cared about any of this.
In order to save time, he even reduced the number of dates with his girlfriend Su Ruochu.
He didn't have time to worry about what others thought.
During this period, Chen Fan also made time to meet with Ma Mingde three more times.
The two sides engaged in detailed negotiations regarding the acquisition of Yuming.com.
However, Chen Fan's condition was only one: the acquisition price must not be less than five million.
This led to the two parties not being able to reach an agreement every time.
Ma Mingde tried several times to get Chen Fan to lower his asking price, but all attempts failed.
Although he had already made every effort to control costs, the renovation expenses still exceeded the budget.
Only half of the renovation progress had been made, but Chen Fan's fifty thousand yuan had already been spent.
According to the renovation company's new calculations, to complete the renovation according to Chen Fan's vision, at least another eighty thousand yuan was needed.
Chen Fan was in a gloomy mood.
The renovation cost alone was almost enough to buy this building.
But there was no turning back now, as he had chosen this path himself.
He could only grit his teeth and walk this road to the end.
But now the problem was that he had no money left.
Even eating became an issue.
Where could he get money?
Should he go sell songs again?
Just when Chen Fan was at a loss, Ma Xiaoshuai found him.
"Tonight our dormitory is having a gathering with the girls' dormitory. You can't be absent again."
Chen Fan was surprised.
"Another gathering? Didn't we just have one a few days ago?"
Ma Xiaoshuai glared at him.
"Brother, you really don't know how it feels to be hungry when you're full."
"We're trying to pick up girls, you know. In our dormitory, except for you and Sun Hao, the other four of us, including me, are all pursuing girls from the other dormitory."
"We wish we could meet them every day."
Chen Fan smiled awkwardly.
"I forgot about this."
"But...why do you have to ask me to come on your dates?"
Ma Xiaoshuai rolled his eyes.
"Of course it's because none of us have successfully pursued our targets yet, so we can only go out for gatherings as a group."
"Once I've succeeded in pursuing my target, even if you wanted to come and be a third wheel, I wouldn't let you."
Chen Fan smiled bitterly.
"But I'm really busy."
"Busy my ass!" Ma Xiaoshuai threatened, "If you dare not go, tonight I'll spread your nude photos in the girls' dormitory."
"Damn! That's harsh."
Ma Xiaoshuai grinned and patted Chen Fan's shoulder. "Just go. I'm doing this for your own good."
"We're all from the same dorm, you can't keep missing all the group activities, others will have opinions about it."
Chen Fan thought about it, since the renovation had no more funds to continue anyway. It seemed he had nothing else to do either.
"Alright. I'll go with you tonight to stand guard."
"But let me make this clear, if one of your girls falls for me because I'm too handsome, you're not allowed to cry about it."
Ma Xiaoshuai cursed with a laugh, "Get lost."
...
At six-thirty in the evening.
Chen Fan came to the reserved restaurant with Ma Xiaoshuai.
"Damn, you finally showed your face." Luo Wenjie commented.
"These days you're always out early and back late, like an elusive dragon, we thought you were preparing for graduate studies."
Chen Fan smiled without saying anything, and casually walked over to sit down.
"Fourth Brother, what have you been busy with these days?" Han Xu asked with a smile.
Wu Di chuckled, "It's obvious he's been busy dating, can't you see Fourth Brother has lost weight?"
He then reminded, "Fourth Brother, be mindful of moderation."
His words made everyone burst into laughter.
Chen Fan cursed with a laugh, then looked at Luo Wenjie.
"Wenjie, I can understand Han Xu being excited, but you've had a girlfriend before, why are you so riled up?"
Luo Wenjie shook his head exaggeratedly. "Show some respect, you have to call me Second Brother from now on."
"You just don't get it."
"As a man, how can I stop pursuing beauty?"
"Let me ask you guys, how can you tell if a girl truly likes you?"
Han Xu spoke up first. "She does your laundry and cooking. She cares about you staying warm."
Sun Hao then said, "See if she tries to save money for you? If she's willing to buy things for you."
Luo Wenjie shook his head. "No. That's not right!"
"To tell if a girl likes you, you have to see if she's willing to spread her legs and welcome you."
Everyone: "......"
"F***!"
"Damn!"
"Shit!"
Wu Di looked full of admiration. "As expected of the lecherous genius Luo Laoer from Yunhai."
Luo Wenjie smugly raised his tea cup and took a sip. "Don't deny it. Everything Second Brother says is the truth. You'll understand in the future."
"Behind every goddess you long for day and night but can't get, there's a man who's slept with her and feels like puking."
"That shaded path you admire might be covered in morning frost every day."
Chen Fan knocked on the table. "Alright, let's stop there before this chapter gets censored."
Then there was a knock on the door from outside, the six girls from the associated dormitory had arrived.
In a flurry, Chen Fan noticed these guys around him all eagerly stood up.
But after seeing the six girls who walked in, Chen Fan finally understood what Ma Xiaoshuai meant by high quality a few days ago.
The beauty quality of this associated dormitory was indeed ridiculously high.
They could be described as beauties as far as the eye could see.
The two sides sat down, the boys on one side, the girls on the other.
Clearly divided.
The only difference was the addition of Chen Fan.
The eyes of the girls across kept secretly sizing up this new face, Chen Fan.
Then one of the girls pursed her lips. "Well, your dormitory finally has everyone present."
"I thought he was deliberately avoiding us."
"Haha, of course not." Wu Di laughed, then suddenly stood up.
"Ladies, allow me to formally introduce our dormitory's Fourth Brother."
"The handsome Chen Fan."
"He really did have things come up the previous two times and couldn't make it, but this time he's come specially to apologize to you beauties, later Fourth Brother will deliberately drink an extra cup for you all."
"Fourth Brother, you'll do that, right?"
