Reborn in 2000: Starting from Pursuing the Pure High School Beauty Desk Mate

Chapter 778: He Was the Undisputed Emperor

"Moving?"

After Chen Fan finished speaking, his parents were both stunned.

Chen Fan explained very seriously, "Dad, Mom. Before, when I suggested you move out, you said you weren't used to it and still preferred the atmosphere of village life."

"But now, you've seen it yourselves. If you continue to live in the village, you'll only be hurt by various rumors and gossip, making you upset."

"Since we can't change others, why not take the initiative to leave this place?"

Chen Jianye fell silent, while Li Jinqiu spoke up.

"This time I support our son's view."

Chen Jianye glared at his wife.

"Why are you glaring at me? Even if you glare, I still support our son's view."

Li Jinqiu said angrily, "Don't tell me you still want to continue living here. Don't you know how upset you've been these past few days?"

"Our family has money now, but that's what our son earned through his own hard work. We didn't steal or rob, why should we be talked about by them?"

"If they have the ability, let their own sons go earn big money."

Regarding this matter, Li Jinqiu rarely said anything, always remaining silent.

Today, in front of her son, she finally couldn't hold back anymore and started nagging her husband.

"We all live in the same village. When people have small disasters or difficulties and need money to tide over, we wouldn't be stingy about lending some money. Last year alone, we lent out nearly 30,000 yuan."

"But look at these people now. Not one has paid back, and instead, they've become even more excessive. When their sons get married, buy cars, or build houses, they all come to us for money. As if our family is a bank."

"With people like this, rather than getting upset every time we see them, it's better to cut ties completely. From now on, let everyone live their own lives."

Chen Fan gave his mother a thumbs up with a smile.

"Mom, well said."

Chen Jianye sighed, "How could I not understand what you two mean? It's just... if we move, what about this house?"

"This is a newly built house that we haven't lived in for long."

Seeing his father softening, Chen Fan immediately said with a smile, "That's simple. We'll just leave the house here. If you miss it in the future, you can always come back to stay for a few days."

"We can give the keys to Second Aunt and ask her to help look after it and clean it occasionally. I think Second Aunt definitely won't refuse."

Li Jinqiu muttered, "A while ago, when your uncle and the others came to borrow money, your Second Aunt lost her temper and scolded them, almost getting into a fight."

Chen Fan laughed.

"I didn't know about that. As expected of my Second Aunt, fierce and powerful."

Chen Jianye sighed.

"Alright. I'll think about this matter. Even if we move, we can't just leave immediately. Where would we move to? Where would we live? These are all problems."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "That's easy to say. You two can move directly to Park District. Didn't we buy a house there?"

Li Jinqiu quickly said, "That house is for you to use when you get married in the future."

Chen Fan smiled helplessly, "Mom, when Ruochu and I get married, who knows where we'll end up."

"You two can live in that house without worry. If you're really concerned, I can always buy a new house in Park District."

"The house is already decorated, with furniture and appliances all ready. You can move in anytime."

"Moreover, after moving to the county town, daily life and transportation will become very convenient. Since you two don't work anymore, you can go to the park for walks, play chess, play cards, and oh, you can often visit Ruochu's parents. Isn't that more convenient than living here?"

Chen Jianye's eyes flickered, clearly moved by his son's words.

"Alright. Let me think about it some more."

Chen Fan also knew it wasn't realistic to expect his parents to make a decision on the spot, so he gave them time to consider.

"By the way, Ruochu said she's coming over tomorrow. Mom, you should go buy some groceries in advance."

"Coming over tomorrow?"

Hearing that her daughter-in-law was coming, Li Jinqiu's mood immediately improved.

"Didn't you say you were returning to Yunhai tonight?"

Chen Fan explained, "I'm going back tonight because the company has an annual meeting and I need to make an appearance. Ruochu will stay at home for a day or two, then come to Yunhai to keep me company."

Chen Jianye suddenly asked, "When do you plan to get married?"

Chen Fan looked exasperated, "Here we go again. Didn't we talk about this last time? As long as Ruochu agrees, I'm ready to marry her anytime."

"Have you asked her privately?"

Chen Fan smiled, realizing his parents were getting impatient.

"I have. Ruochu said we'll get married after she graduates."

"Really?"

The elderly couple's faces lit up with joy.

"Ruochu graduates in a year, right? We need to start preparing."

Chen Fan's eyes widened, "Prepare what?"

"Things for the wedding, of course." Li Jinqiu started counting on her fingers, "Like the wedding quilt, we need to buy the fabric and cotton in advance, and then sew it..."

Chen Fan: "Mom, there's still a year to go, and you're starting to prepare now?"

"Of course we need to prepare in advance. Besides, it's not just one wedding quilt, I'm planning to make 10 quilts for you two, symbolizing perfection in all aspects."

"When the time comes, Ruochu's parents can add a few more as part of her dowry, and that'll be enough for your future life together."

Hearing this, Chen Fan felt overwhelmed, "10 quilts? How long will that take to make? Say we should just buy ready-made ones, it's much more convenient."

But Li Jinqiu glared at him, "Marriage is a big deal, and wedding quilts should be hand-sewn to show sincerity. Besides, how can store-bought quilts be as comfortable and warm as homemade ones?"

As they continued talking, Chen Fan's parents started discussing what else needed to be prepared for the wedding.

It was as if Chen Fan was getting married tomorrow.

On such matters, Chen Fan never had a say, so he simply let his parents fuss over everything.

After having dinner with his parents, Chen Fan drove alone to Yunhai that night.

It was almost 10 pm when he arrived in Yunhai, and he went straight to the hotel where the annual meeting was being held.

The company's annual meeting hadn't ended yet, with various performances taking turns on stage.

However, many employees weren't in a good mood.

Because earlier that day, before the annual meeting started, everyone had heard a rumor privately.

There was a possibility that the boss wouldn't attend tonight's annual meeting.

This news was like a bucket of cold water, immediately dampening the mood of many employees.

Especially those who had carefully prepared performances, originally planning to impress the boss at the annual meeting. When they heard the boss wasn't coming, many felt discouraged.

At the annual meeting venue, a group of high-level executives, including Ding Dian and Liang Shichu, naturally noticed everyone's mood, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Chen Fan had suddenly said he had to return to his hometown for something, and who dared to question him?

Only Ding Dian had asked if he could make it back tonight, but received an ambiguous answer: he'd come back if time allowed.

The executives were stunned on the spot. This answer was worse than not announcing anything at all. It gave everyone hope, but if Chen Fan didn't show up, wouldn't they be even more disappointed?

So the annual meeting venue became like this: although it looked lively, it felt like something was missing.

Many employees were craning their necks, hoping to catch a glimpse of the boss.

Sitting in her seat, Ding Dian suddenly took out her phone and looked at it, her face immediately brightening. Then she said something to the group vice president beside her, whose expression immediately became excited.

Ding Dian stood up and walked out of the banquet hall, while the vice president stood up and walked towards the main stage.

Just as a performance ended, the vice president took the microphone from the host.

"Dear colleagues, I have good news for everyone. Our President Chen has arrived and is on his way up."

Wow!

Hearing this, everyone in the venue immediately perked up.

Ding Dian had originally planned to go out and meet Chen Fan, but as soon as she reached the door, she saw Chen Fan striding over.

They exchanged a glance, and then Chen Fan entered the banquet hall with confident steps.

The huge banquet hall fell silent for a second, followed by the sound of chairs scraping as all the employees stood up simultaneously.

Then came thunderous applause.

The employees, their faces flushed, stared at the young man in front, applauding frantically.

At this moment.

He was the undisputed emperor of this kingdom!
