48: Chapter 48 Chen Fan's Countermeasures

On the other end of the phone, hearing Chen Fan admit it so readily, Zhao Shoucheng was clearly stunned for a moment; the many probes and lead-ins he had prepared seemed useless all of a sudden.

After two seconds of silence, his tone became even more polite.

"You have it, right?"

"Look, Mr. Chen, the situation regarding this matter is quite special. I don't think it can be explained clearly in a few words over the phone."

Zhao Shoucheng paused, then continued, "How about this? If it's convenient for you, I would like to meet with you and talk in person."

"Do you have time right now?"

His tone was sincere, even carrying a hint of negotiation.

Chen Fan leaned back on the sofa, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest. His face was expressionless, but in his heart, he had already guessed the situation seven or eight tenths.

From the moment lifespan treasure appeared until now, it had been on the trending topics almost every day.

It would be strange if the authorities hadn't reacted at all.

He estimated that Wang Jianguo had already been visited.

Zhou Wanshan likely couldn't escape it either.

As for himself, this was just the final step in the procedure.

Thinking of this, Chen Fan deliberately pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Meeting is no problem."

"However, I have some things to handle on hand right now."

"How about this, half an hour from now, is that okay?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shoucheng immediately agreed.

"Of course, that's fine!"

"Then let's make it half an hour later."

"The location... let's meet at Man Coffee in Yunding Plaza."

"How does that sound?"

"Fine."

"Alright, then we'll see each other in half an hour."

Hanging up the phone, Chen Fan casually placed his phone on the coffee table.

He then leaned back and let out a long sigh.

Half an hour... that should be enough!

He was stalling for time, not out of guilt, but because he wanted to create a time gap.

Since the police had found him and were asking about the invitation code, it was impossible that they were only investigating him.

Wang Jianguo, Zhou Wanshan, and even those netizens online who claimed to have an invitation code were likely within the scope of the investigation.

After all, only being able to download the software via an invitation code was too big of a deal!

And what Chen Fan needed to do was to extract himself from it first.

To turn himself from the "only special person" into a "regular user."

As long as other people also had invitation codes, his own importance would be infinitely diminished. Who would still fixate on him?

He believed that the police were likely going to find Zhou Wanshan to understand the situation now as well.

Therefore, he had to let the bullets fly for a while longer.

As long as they learned from Zhou Wanshan that he also had one, and that it wasn't unique to Chen Fan, then things would become much simpler.

Thinking about it, Chen Fan still felt he needed an extra layer of insurance.

He picked up his phone again and opened the backend of lifespan treasure.

"System."

"Give me another... one hundred invitation codes!"

The next second, a prompt popped up.

[Purchasing 100 invitation codes requires a payment of 1,000,000 yuan.]

[Confirm?]

"Confirm."

Very quickly, one million was deducted directly.

However, Chen Fan didn't even blink an eye.

In the past, he wouldn't have dared to spend one million like this even in his dreams.

But now, it seemed like nothing more than a string of numbers.

Soon, the backend refreshed.

The invitation codes arrived in the invitation code Center.

Chen Fan first found User 002, Wang Jianguo!

After thinking, he directly gifted him three invitation codes.

Subsequently, he directly instructed the system to distribute the remaining ninety-seven invitation codes.

The target: the top one hundred active users of lifespan treasure!

[Instruction received, executing.]

[Ding! Distribution successful, please wait for users to receive them.]

Seeing this, Chen Fan nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right."

"This way, everyone has an invitation code."

Let them investigate.

Anyway, in the end, everyone has an invitation code.

Who can tell who the source is?

Chen Fan smiled.

He immediately got up and returned to his room to change clothes, preparing to keep the appointment.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Wanshan Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.

In the chairman's office, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

"Old Zhou!"

"I've brought the contract!"

Accompanied by a loud voice, a thick procurement contract was slammed heavily onto the office desk.

The speaker was President Liu, who was in mechanical manufacturing.

At this moment, his face was glowing, and his eyes were burning with intensity.

"An eight-million procurement order!"

"As long as you give me Chen Fan's contact information."

"The contract will be signed immediately, and the payment will arrive right away!"

"I won't waste your time at all!"

Zhou Wanshan sat in the boss's chair.

Looking at the contract on the table, his breathing was a bit heavy.

Eight million!

For those large groups that dealt in billions, it was nothing, but for Wanshan Medical right now, it was money that could save the day!

The matter had to start from after Tang Jianye left yesterday.

Yesterday, several bosses took turns asking for Chen Fan's contact information.

Zhou Wanshan firmly refused to budge.

After all, he had already referred Tang Jianye previously, and coupled with the fact that Chen Fan had clearly stated at the time that it was the last invitation code.

Thus, for him to endlessly pass on Chen Fan's contact information to others, letting them endlessly harass Chen Fan—in Zhou Wanshan's view, that was simply immoral, and it wasn't his style of doing things.

But now... that was an eight-million order!

With eight million placed right in front of him, Zhou Wanshan wavered.

He was even thinking right now...

His current total assets were around three million, so if he wanted to purchase lifespan, he only needed to pay one million a year.

But once this eight million arrived... his total assets would instantly exceed ten million!

By then, if he wanted to buy more lifespan, it would be ten million!!

Zhou Wanshan calculated this account clearly in his mind.

He couldn't help but feel his heart twitch violently.

"The more assets I have, the more I have to pay to buy it..."

"Damn it, why does it feel like I'm being precisely harvested!"

In the past, he desperately tried to make money.

Now, he wished he could spend the money first.

Beside him, seeing Zhou Wanshan's expression flickering, President Liu thought his bargaining chip wasn't enough.

Gritting his teeth, he continued to entice him:

"Old Zhou, what are you still hesitating about?"

"We've been friends for so many years, surely you can trust me?"

"Give me the contact information, and I absolutely guarantee I won't disturb him randomly!"

"As long as you nod, not only will I transfer the payment today, but in the future, all of our factory's equipment updates will be contracted to your Wanshan Medical!"

"Gulp..."

Zhou Wanshan finally couldn't hold on anymore.

Faced with absolute profit and the temptation of lifespan, that bit of so-called principle was instantly shattered.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine! Old Liu, I'll sign this contract! I'll give you Chen Fan's WeChat in a moment!"

"Hahahaha, good! Old Zhou, you're straightforward!"

President Liu was overjoyed and immediately took out his phone to send a message to his finance department.

Zhou Wanshan also hurriedly took out his own phone.

He had to spend two million first!

Otherwise, if the money kept increasing later, it would be hard to deal with...

Zhou Wanshan skillfully tapped open lifespan treasure.

However, the next second, he was suddenly stunned.

"Why has the software interface changed?"

"Transaction Log?"

"What is this thing?"

Zhou Wanshan just wanted to open it to take a look.

He soon saw that at the very bottom, there was an extra module.

[invitation code Center]

"invitation code Center?"

Zhou Wanshan was stunned for a moment.

Why did this thing move to the main interface?

Could it be... an update?

Or did something change?

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly began to beat faster uncontrollably.

Zhou Wanshan subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Then he reached out his finger and tapped it gently.

As the page jumped, the next second, when he saw the content on it clearly, Zhou Wanshan suddenly sat up straight from his boss's chair!

[Current number of invitation codes: 3]
