Chapter 124 : Do you still remember your dreams from your youth_
Chapter 124: Do you still remember your dreams from your youth?
Joking aside, Wu Di finally gave a serious reminder, "If you ask me, you should hurry up and get a driver's license. Otherwise, I'll always feel unsafe in a car driven by you."
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled: "Don't worry. I've already signed up, and I'll go learn after the New Year."
"The instructor guaranteed me that I can take the driving test in 14 days."
Chen Fan was moved and asked, "Can I join too?"
"You want to learn as well?"
Ma Xiaoshuai immediately became interested.
"That would be even better. We can be study buddies then. I was just worried about being bored alone."
"I'll make the arrangements. My dad knows the head of the driving school."
Chen Fan nodded, "I'll give you the money then."
Getting a driver's license as early as possible is better, and in the future, he might need to buy a car. If he doesn't have a license, it will be very difficult to travel.
As they were chatting, Luo Wenjie rushed in panting, carrying two bags of beer.
"Damn, you three really did it."
"I was shouting downstairs for a long time, but not a single one of you came down to help."
Wu Di was puzzled, "He shouted?"
Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head: "Didn't hear it."
Chen Fan explained with a smile: "We really didn't hear it."
"Don't you have a phone? Why didn't you call?"
"Don't even mention it. It's out of battery."
Luo Wenjie sat on the bed, gasping for air.
"Damn. I'm done with you guys."
"Carrying these two bags of beer up here almost cost me my life."
Ma Xiaoshuai joked, "Brother Jie, your body's not up to it. You need more exercise."
Luo Wenjie glared at him: "Bullshit! I'm in great shape. Go ask around, who doesn't know my reputation as the Little Whirlwind in bed?"
Wu Di nodded in agreement: "We know, we know, Brother Jie is always foreplay for an hour, main event for three seconds."
"Screw you!"
Luo Wenjie cursed, then unzipped his clothes and took out a shopping bag from his pocket.
"None for you."
Ma Xiaoshuai snatched it and looked inside.
"Wow, peanuts, sunflower seeds, chicken feet, pig ears, and even beef jerky... Brother Jie, did you strike it rich?"
Luo Wenjie grinned proudly: "Dad is rich now, no problem supporting you three sons."
The other three ignored him and had already snatched everything.
Luo Wenjie struggled to sit up, opened a bottle of beer, and took a few big gulps before shouting in satisfaction.
"Awesome."
Wu Di asked with a smile: "When are you leaving?"
Luo Wenjie secretly glanced at Chen Fan, "No point going home."
"I called my family and said I'll go back later."
Chen Fan understood that Luo Wenjie was actually staying to keep an eye on the internet cafe.
"No need to stay so late, just go back early."
But Luo Wenjie pursed his lips, "It's fine, staying here means I can play games for a few more days."
Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly asked: "Does the school allow staying in the dorms during vacation?"
Luo Wenjie was stunned: "Why wouldn't they let me stay when I've paid?"
"You paid for one semester, but the semester is over now."
"Damn! There's such a rule?"
Luo Wenjie rolled his eyes, then complained: "It's even better if they don't let me stay, I'll just stay in a hotel."
"Hey, looks like Brother Jie really did strike it rich this time."
Chen Fan felt a bit nostalgic. Whether in his previous life or this one, the college days were actually the most memorable time.
At this age, everyone is young and passionate, still full of hopes and dreams for the future.
Without the pressures of family, mortgage, and work, they could indulge in their youth.
Even if it's just beer and peanuts with roommates, there would always be endless topics to discuss.
Wu Di grabbed a chicken foot and asked with a smile: "Brothers, have you all figured out what you want to do after graduation?"
"What are your dreams?"
Ma Xiaoshuai spoke first: "My dream is to earn three million yuan before the age of thirty-five to achieve financial freedom, and then enjoy life."
"Three million?" Luo Wenjie rolled his eyes: "That's a bit low, isn't it?"
"You think three million is enough for financial freedom? Not very realistic."
Ma Xiaoshuai disagreed: "Three million isn't enough for you to spend? Do you eat fancy meals every day?"
"Let's not argue. Just think about when you get married in the future, you'll need money, right? You'll need to buy a house and a car, right?"
"And if you have kids, you'll need to support them, right? You'll want to send them to a good school, right?"
"Do you think three million is enough?"
Luo Wenjie grinned: "Buddy, don't blame me for discouraging you, but three million, even ten million won't be enough for so-called financial freedom."
Ma Xiaoshuai shook his head helplessly.
"The way you put it, I feel like the rest of my life is meaningless..."
Luo Wenjie laughed.
"You're actually right. For a man, only the life before marriage is lived for himself. After marriage, your life no longer belongs to you. It belongs to your wife and children..."
Seeing that Ma Xiaoshuai seemed genuinely discouraged, Chen Fan smiled and consoled him.
"Everyone has their own way of living. Brother Jie is thinking about the life of the rich, so of course ten million won't be enough."
"For us ordinary folks, three million is more than enough to live a leisurely life."
Luo Wenjie exclaimed: "Are you kidding me? This guy is the real rich second-generation now."
Wu Di smiled: "Old Chen, what do you want to do in the future?"
"Me?" Chen Fan smiled, "My dream is very simple, to make money, make more money, and keep making money."
"I hope that one day, I can calmly tell the media those words, 'I have no interest in making money, money is just a string of numbers to me...'"
"Damn, you're really full of it."
Ma Xiaoshuai smiled and gave a thumbs up.
"This brother is a pro at putting on airs."
Later, Luo Wenjie said his future dream is to become a landlord and buy more than a dozen buildings to collect rent.
As for Wu Di, his dream is to pass the civil service exam and eventually retire safely at the deputy department level.
Once the topic opened up, everyone became enthusiastic. Ma Xiaoshuai suddenly asked again.
"So what were your childhood dreams?"
"When I was little, I wanted to be a scientist. I wanted to ride a bicycle on the moon."
Wu Di laughed: "I was about the same. But when I was in middle school, I often wondered if I scored the highest in the province on the college entrance exam, would I go to Tsinghua or Peking University?"
Everyone was amused, apparently they had all thought about that before.
"Old Chen? What about you?"
"Me?" Chen Fan put down his beer bottle, thought for a while, and finally shook his head.
"I don't think I had any particular dream as a child. I just occasionally wondered that if I ever struck it rich one day and became richer than Bill Gates, the world's richest person, would I give media interviews in Chinese or English?"
"Damn. You really think about a lot of stuff."
Luo Wenjie commented, then said slowly: "Brothers, I'm different from you guys. Ever since I was little, I only had one dream."
"My childhood dream was to become a director."
"Back then, I was already deeply disgusted by the Japanese film industry."
"Completely dry with zero content."
"Those little Japanese people just don't get it, the plot is the soul of a movie."
"With no plot, just mechanical motions, the more you watch, the more you want to fast forward."
"It's such a waste of all those pretty actresses."
"When I was little, I vowed that I would definitely make a movie when I grew up, one with a real plot, real acting skills, and real passion."
Ma Xiaoshuai laughed so hard he started coughing. He gave Luo Wenjie a big thumbs up.
"You win."
Chen Fan also said with a smile: "I support Brother Jie. It would be best if you write, direct, and star in your own legendary masterpiece in the future."
"I'll personally pay for the whole school's faculty and students to watch it."
