Chapter 149: The Eve of Parting

Well, that's selling yourself again. But the last time I sold myself, the Clear Water Bay Club at least paid real money for me to go abroad, but this time I sold myself and didn't get anything back. The benefits are all let a certain little one go. It's really depressing!

"Then if I don't become famous in the future, won't your money be in vain? I think it's more reliable for you to ask me to write an IOU! Chen Chufan said helplessly.

"Haha, this is inherently venture capital. It's just that the object of investment has changed from a certain company or a certain project to a person who invests in you. Besides, if you can really afford to pay back this money in the future, it means that you are at least a person. My three demands are definitely worth more than 800,000 yuan, on the contrary, if you can't mix it up, can you pay it back? I'm holding an IOU, isn't it just a piece of waste paper? Fu Bo was not afraid that Chen Chufan would not agree to his request, and directly explained his thoughts to him.

"Is there no other choice?" Although the plan given by Fu Bo is indeed quite in line with Chen Chufan's current situation. But the boy couldn't help but ask. After all, no one wants to carry too much debt. In particular, it is all about the future.

"Yes! Would you like to hear about it? Fauber smiled kindly, his eyes narrowing into a slit.

Originally, he subconsciously asked, but he didn't expect Fu Bo to give a positive answer, which made Chen Chufan feel energetic again. hurriedly asked, "Of course I want to hear it, you can talk about it quickly." ”

"Actually, it's very simple, I just said so much because we are not relatives, if you take the initiative to pursue my daughter, if the two of you look at the right eye, won't we be a family in the future, I will definitely not be so clear to my future son-in-law, what do you think of my proposal?"

Fu Bo's proposal was indeed very tempting, but the more Chen Chufan thought about it, the more he felt that it was not a good thing.

In other words, this still seems to be selling yourself? If you really become a family, you don't have to pay back the money you borrowed, but will you be embarrassed to accept money when you help you in the future? Isn't that all the same? Moreover, if you really agree to this condition, no matter how you think about it, it will be very similar to the experience of a famous historical figure. Especially that character is still from his own family, and his surname is Chen, called Shimei.

Chen Chufan didn't want to be a modern Chen Shimei, so he simply rejected Fu Bo's proposal.

"Let's talk about what you just proposed. Fauber! ”

So the afternoon was spent discussing the contract with Uncle Jon, Fauber's personal lawyer. The specific terms are actually similar to those signed with the Clear Water Bay Club in China, and Chen Chufan signed his name directly after Jon explained a little.

Obviously, this is another deed of sale, Chen Chufan even felt that he had become accustomed to selling his body, and he didn't even think much about it, so he signed another one. If this kind of thing happens more, Chen Chufan even feels that his future will be dark, because even if he really becomes famous, his freedom will almost be sold out in advance.

In fact, in the eyes of many people, this kid should feel happy, others are willing to sign these agreements, isn't it because they are optimistic about his future development?

If you don't think about the great favor you owe to Fubo, and the contract that betrays the future. In fact, the news received today is excellent. got rid of the danger of being imprisoned hanging on his body, and was able to start the college life he was familiar with again, no matter which one of them was a good thing that could make Chen Chufan happy for a long time, and it could even be described as double happiness.

But the inexplicable compensation of 800,000 US dollars, and the sale of his future earnings again, made Chen Chufan extremely unhappy.

Thinking of the fact that Jiro Oda, who had caused Qiuqiu to suffer an unwarranted disaster and was expelled from school, could only lie in the hospital bed for a few days and be able to harvest a huge sum of money that he couldn't even think of now, Chen Chufan felt uncomfortable all over his body.

He didn't know that Oda's family was also a prominent family in Yuben, and even had shares in Toyota Motor Corporation, the largest automobile company in Yuben, so others didn't look down on this compensation at all. According to Oda Jiro's original intention, of course, he wanted to kill Chen Chufan, and at worst, he would let Chen Chufan go to prison before he would stop. If it weren't for Fubo's great face, entrusting an intermediary who had trade dealings with the Oda family's business, and there was solid evidence that Oda Jiro had provoked first, and was even suspected of animal cruelty, otherwise there would be no possibility of out-of-court settlement.

Especially Chen Chufan even abolished one of Oda Jiro's hands, let alone playing the piano in the future, and even holding heavy objects will be a problem. This can definitely be said to be a deep hatred.

But Chen Chufan didn't know this at this time, and he was still thinking that if he could, he would definitely find some justice for his $800,000 in the future. But how did he know that Oda's family was even more unhappy with him, and even after completing the out-of-court settlement procedure, he had already taken Oda Jiro back to Yuben to continue treatment, and he didn't continue to stay in country M at all.

In short, this can be regarded as a win-win result for the two, but in fact, it is a result that neither of them agrees with. It's just that I am forced by the pressure of the world and can only accept it.

Life is like a strong annihilation, if you are powerless to resist, but at least you can choose to enjoy. This is a sentence that Yang Tao used to often hang on his lips, and now it has been directly learned and used by Chen Chufan. Anyway, things are already like this, and I can't change it, so I can only accept it. It's just that the young man's heart firmly remembers his own name

Dinner was the same as usual with three people.

What's different is that after learning that Chen Chufan was going to go to the Berke College of Music tomorrow to report, Su Xiuqing became a lot more silent during the banquet. Without the girls' daily dinner about the day's school anecdotes, what should have been an active dinner became as dull as lunch.

"Alright, you young people go out for a walk!" As soon as dinner was over, Fauber spoke directly. Although he used to say this sentence often, it was only after dinner and a casual chat with his daughter that he suggested it. It's not as eager as it is today.

"Congratulations!" Walking on the path in the woods, it was Su Xiuqing who broke the awkward silence between the two.

"There's nothing to congratulate, I have to thank your dad!" Chen Chufan kicked the grass on the side of the road and replied casually.

"Whoever you do, it's worth congratulating, because you're one step closer to your dream!" The girl stopped and said something serious.

Chen Chufan was stunned, a little puzzled why the girl suddenly became so serious.

"You know what? I've always dreamed of becoming a pianist. In order to realize this dream of mine, my father hired me the best piano teacher in the whole country, and bought the best piano, and I insisted on practicing every day. But unfortunately, I didn't have that talent, and after studying for so many years, I couldn't even pass the entrance exam to Julie School! ”

"Can't Fauber help you figure it out? I guess with Fuber's energy, it shouldn't be too difficult to get into that academy, right? Chen Chufan was a little unconvinced, so he interjected a little impolitely.

He didn't believe that Faber threw a large sum of money into the academy, and the academy could really resist the temptation? Artists need to eat, too. Besides, it's just recruiting one more student, and it's not a big deal.

"I didn't let him figure it out, and!" The girl shook her head. "I already have such good conditions, I can't get in, I can only say that I have no talent. Later, I figured out that music is actually quite good as a hobby! ”

Chen Chufan didn't answer, just nodded silently.

"But it's a pity after all. Therefore, I envy you and Sister Yuanyuan very much, because you can do what I can't do, and this thing I can't do is precisely the first dream in my life. Su Xiuqing said leisurely, with lingering regret and sadness in her words.

The girl's voice fell, and neither of them continued to speak. Except for the seaside not far away, the occasional sound of waves is heard in the wind, and the whole forest is particularly quiet.

Chen Chufan unconsciously remembered Xiaoxi in the distance and her dream of becoming a singer. Presumably she has the same regrets as the girl in front of her, right? Or more regret than the girl in front of you. Because Su Xiuqing at least worked hard with the support of his father, but Xiaoxi was forced to give up his dream because of the opposition of his family.

So the boy felt that he was even more determined, and he had to work hard. Because what he carries is not his own dream, but also Xiaoxi's.

"My dreams or ideals were actually very simple." This time it was Chen Chufan who broke the silence. "That is, I can make a lot of money, live in a big house, and let my family live a happy and prosperous life, and I am satisfied. To put it mildly, being able to sleep until you wake up naturally, counting money and counting cramps in your hands is all my dreams. And this simple dream has not yet been realized. And you are different, the life you have now is already the life of my dreams, and you dare not be satisfied. ”

The pretended relaxed tone was to brush away the girl's sadness at this time.

"Oh? Is your dream as simple as that? So it seems like there's a chance to make your dream come true right now, why don't you give it a try? Su Xiuqing's next words made Chen Chufan a little overwhelmed. He's not stupid, so he listens to the girl's words. But after thinking about it, he found that he could only play stupid.

"Really? Is there such an opportunity? Why didn't I find out? Haha, don't make me amused. How can pie really fall from the sky! Chen Chufan touched his head, his eyes wandered around in the forest, but he didn't dare to put it on the girl.
