Chapter 906 ·Planning Ahead

When hearing his cousin say that Niu'er, in order to be elected as village chief, was showing off his power with his gang in the village every day, threatening households one after another, causing everyone to live in fear.

Chen Fan put down his teacup and looked at his cousin.

"Let's do this. I'll give you another 100,000, after going back, buy some rice, flour, grain and oil, and deliver them to each household. Also, if you encounter families in difficult conditions, help them if you can."

"Besides that, you need to tell the villagers what you'll do after being elected as village chief, like developing fish ponds, starting a village collective workshop... In short, let everyone know that as long as they elect you as village chief, everyone will have good days ahead."

After Chen Fan taught him step by step, his cousin Gao Shengbo was still worried.

"I'm afraid Niu'er might resort to desperate measures."

Chen Fan thought for a moment: "Here's what we'll do. When you go back, I'll send several security guards from here to go back with you."

"Tell Niu'er, if he campaigns honestly, then we'll compete with him fairly."

"If he dares to play dirty, we'll go all the way with him."

Gao Shengbo finally felt somewhat relieved.

"With your word, I feel assured."

Chen Fan smiled and asked: "Since you rarely come, want to stay for a night, I'll take you out to have some fun?"

Gao Shengbo's eyes showed some expectation, but after thinking, he still shook his head.

"Never mind. I better go back early. I promised to go shopping with my girlfriend this afternoon."

"She rarely takes a day off, if I stand her up, I'll probably get scolded again."

Chen Fan laughed heartily, "This is a top priority matter, but I haven't met sister-in-law yet. When will you bring her back for me to meet?"

"Don't worry, next time you come home I'll let you see her."

Chen Fan teased: "When you get married, I'll come to your feast."

"Haha, you must come, even if others don't come, you must come."

The two stood up laughing and talking, walking out of the office.

Chen Fan called over his secretary, explaining to his cousin: "Don't rush to leave, I'll have people prepare some things for you to take back."

Gao Shengbo instinctively wanted to refuse, but Chen Fan said: "There are also things for my parents."

"I rarely go home, regarding my parents, I'll have to trouble cousin to look after them more."

When Gao Shengbo heard this, he quickly said: "Don't worry about this. I go to uncle's place every few days, yesterday I even brought two bottles of my mom's homemade chive flowers..."

After arranging a lot of gifts for his cousin, Chen Fan called Guo Shuai, having him dispatch eight strong security guards from the security company, who drove back together with his cousin.

Three days later, his cousin called to say he was elected village chief with high votes.

Seeing those eight strong young men brought back, Niu'er immediately became timid and didn't dare to cause trouble anymore.

The villagers had also long been fed up with Niu'er, so during voting, except for Niu'er's few relatives, basically everyone voted for cousin Gao Shengbo.

This was a big event in the Chen family.

Although village chief wasn't a high position, for the Chen family who had never produced any officials in their life, this was already a joyous occasion worth celebrating.

Second aunt and uncle-in-law were busy preparing to host guests, Chen Fan was naturally a key invitee.

However, Chen Fan was really too busy to get away, so he called his mother, asking her to help give a red envelope on his behalf.

Time had already entered July.

The days until Ruochu's graduation were getting closer and closer.

Chen Fan now was even somewhat absent-minded during company meetings.

Counting the days every day, hoping his wife would graduate soon and come back to accompany him.

On July 9. In the antivirus software market, the only developer still struggling finally couldn't hold on, ultimately declaring bankruptcy.

From this point, all domestic antivirus developers were utterly defeated under Feifan Antivirus's "permanently free" slogan.

Feifan Security Guard's users exceeded 100 million for the first time, completely ushering in a new era.

Besides this, according to Chen Fan's previous instructions, Liang Shichu had sent people to contact several antivirus developers in advance.

So when these companies went bankrupt, large numbers of technical personnel and engineers were all recruited back by Feifan Technology.

Feifan Technology's R&D personnel numbers directly increased by nearly one-third.

These were all real treasures.

Providing food and accommodation, giving money and benefits, when it came to treating talent, Chen Fan was always generous.

With these talents, Chen Fan estimated that the upcoming Weibo development tension could probably be accelerated a bit.

On July 12.

Chen Fan saw in the newspaper that Liu Xiang broke the 110-meter hurdles record that had stood for 13 years with a time of 12.88 seconds in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Seeing this news, Chen Fan felt somewhat emotional.

From now on, the next two years would be Liu Xiang's era.

This tall and thin Asian man, representing the pride and hope of all Chinese people, repeatedly winning glory for the country on the track field.

Various honors and praises came one after another.

Meanwhile, Liu Xiang also became the domestic sports star with the highest endorsement fees.

For a time, his influence was immense.

However, only Chen Fan himself knew clearly that in two years, at the 2008 Olympics.

In this Olympics held at home, on the 110-meter hurdles field, Liu Xiang would withdraw due to injury in a shocking way in front of more than 80,000 spectators at the venue, and all national audiences waiting in front of their TVs.

From this point, the whole nation was shocked.

Various anger, abuse, slander...

People put him high up on a pedestal, then used the most cruel way to stomp him down into the valley.

The audience only cared about what they saw before their eyes, but not many people knew that in Liu Xiang's professional career, he participated in 48 world competitions in total, winning 36 championships, 6 second places and 3 third places.

Many people completely obliterated all of Liu Xiang's achievements just because of one withdrawal.

Looking at the newspaper, Chen Fan felt somewhat dazed.

He suddenly thought of himself.

Now he was still young, the group company was developing rapidly, everything was flourishing.

But if one day, he was gone.

Who could control such a big company?

The Chen family? No one understood business principles.

People around him... Guo Shuai could perhaps be trusted a bit, as for Brother Jie, perhaps when he was around, Brother Jie was a reliable right-hand man.

But when the day really came that he was gone, would Brother Jie become a sharp knife? And who could control him?

As for Ruochu. Chen Fan had hinted to her several times, but unfortunately Ruochu seemed uninterested in business.

At that time, how many years could the whole group hold on?

Would relatives fight internal battles because of wealth disputes?

Could the honest and well-behaved Ruochu really fight against others?

Chen Fan felt somewhat restless.

Perhaps, he should take advantage of being alive to leave some insurance for Su Ruochu

Although he bought many houses in Beijing, and handed them all over to Ruochu to manage.

But there were still some houses whose owners were not under Ruochu's name.

No good, must find a chance to go to Beijing recently, put all houses under Ruochu's name.

If in the future he really wasn't around anymore, and the group was divided and dismantled by some people, then these houses would be the backup plan Chen Fan prepared for Ruochu.

Just having these houses, in the future even if she just sold one randomly, could ensure her food and clothing for life.

Said and done, Chen Fan took out his phone and started dialing Su Ruochu's number.
