34: Chapter 34: The Fanmi Phone Launch Event!!
The fading youth, the gazing middle-aged couple.
"Xiao Fan has really grown up now..." Zhou Changlin said with some emotion.
In the eyes of parents, graduating from university is considered truly growing up; to put it bluntly, it's ultimately about financial independence, and the Zhou Fan before him had completely exceeded his expectations.
"Yes, he's grown up..."
Lin Cuilan let out a long sigh, her expression tinged with melancholy, partly due to the separation and partly because Zhou Fan had started his own business so early.
"Let's go, the village is holding another meeting, saying they want to focus on building a tourist village."
"Let's go."
Lin Cuilan nodded and obediently followed behind Zhou Changlin.
The scenery outside the window was unique; Zhou Fan watched it in a daze as the trees on both sides of the road receded, accompanied by a loud roar.
"Brother Fan, my car is not bad, right!" Wu Chen said, holding the steering wheel with one hand.
"Your dad really indulges you in everything except starting a business!!" Zhou Fan actually admired Uncle Wu's wisdom, having discovered Wu Chen's entrepreneurial talent early on.
He forbade Wu Chen from getting involved in entrepreneurship.
"What kind of talk is that? My dad supports me starting a business too..."
"Got beaten up again?" Zhou Fan looked like he knew everything.
"How can you call that a beating? That's affection..." Wu Chen quickly shook his head, his tone full of conviction.
"Has Chen Fei left for the capital?" Zhou Fan had long been familiar with Wu Chen's thick-skinned attitude.
"Yeah, that kid actually got into Tsinghua/Peking University, I really didn't expect it..."
"What's so strange about that? His grades have always been very good!"
Zhou Fan was not surprised. In his past life, Chen Fei barely made the cut for Tsinghua/Peking, but this time he did much better, scoring more than twenty points above the admission cutoff.
"It's not surprising he got into Tsinghua/Peking, but you actually being the provincial top scorer... You don't know, I thought I heard a name that was just a duplicate at the time..." Wu Chen said while driving, his tone filled with speechlessness.
Thinking back to the homeroom teacher's expression, and the principal rushing directly to Zhou Fan's home, which made Zhou Fan hide at the company immediately.
"I really didn't expect it, you hid it so well!"
"Luck!" Zhou Fan actually didn't want to be so high-profile, but to have relatively free privileges in university, being the top scorer in the college entrance exam was undoubtedly the best choice.
"If you want to come back in the future, just tell me. Our schools are so close, and it's convenient since I have a car!"
"We'll see..." Zhou Fan looked out the window, feeling a bit dazed for a moment.
University... a distant yet familiar word. In his past life, he also attended Hangjiang University. Now, it could be considered a return to his alma mater, but he also knew very well that he didn't actually have much time to stay at school.
Whether it was Fanmi Technology or the Room-Temperature Superconductivity project, both required time.
"It's a pity you weren't there for the dinner after high school graduation... Everyone drank too much that day!" A moment later, Wu Chen's voice suddenly rang out again, "That guy Chen Fei held my shoulder and cried... saying he didn't know when he would be able to catch up to you..."
"And those classmates from your class who used to hang out together often, they all say they are becoming estranged from you..."
"Let me tell you a secret... The class beauty of your class, Lin Qingqing, actually had a crush on you. You didn't know that, right??"
"I really didn't know that?" Zhou Fan smiled and shook his head gently.
After high school graduation, classmates who were once very close gradually drifted apart due to various reasons and distance...
Youth is always short-lived, and some of those beautiful memories will truly be engraved deep in one's mind.
However, although such a farewell was not perfect... and had regrets, isn't that also a kind of beautiful memory?
...
Hangjiang University.
Zhou Fan, carrying a simple backpack, stood still in front of a teaching building, his brows slightly furrowed.
Actually, he was also quite helpless. The new mobile phone was about to be launched, and there were too many things to do at Fanmi, which caused him to arrive a bit late for enrollment.
Originally, those pretty senior sisters and handsome senior brothers who were welcoming new students had already packed up.
Instead, there were many Clubs recruiting new members. Zhou Fan glanced at them and walked over.
Just as he walked in, a voice caught Zhou Fan's attention.
"Qiu Zhengyang, can you chat with me for a while? Is the news about this so-called fanmi mobile phone launch event really that interesting? Is it worth staring at it every day?"
A slightly coquettish voice came from a tent in front, and Zhou Fan looked over in that direction.
Under a tent printed with the "Dynamic Zone" campus card logo, a boy was staring intently at a computer, while a girl was fanning herself on the side, looking somewhat dissatisfied.
Qiu Zhengyang's gaze remained fixed on the computer, and he said with some excitement: "Please remove that 'is it' from your sentence. You don't know about the fanmi mobile phone? 'Charge for five minutes, talk for an hour'—you must have heard of that, right?!"
"I have heard of that... I seem to have seen advertisements at bus stops, and I often see this brainwashing slogan online..." Liu Xin seemed to have become a bit interested, her gaze shifting to the computer screen.
"Is this phone very impressive?"
"Think about it, charge for five minutes, and you can talk for an hour. And it uses a self-developed system. Although this part might be somewhat exaggerated, at least it has innovation, unlike other manufacturers who just use android, provided it's not too watered down..."
Qiu Zhengyang spoke seriously. It wasn't exactly fanaticism; he was speaking quite rationally.
"What if it's not watered down?" Liu Xin was also intrigued and asked curiously.
"Then it means domestic mobile phones will have a representative."
Qiu Zhengyang's tone was somewhat fervent. The current situation of domestic mobile phones is that knock-offs are rampant, plus parallel imports are everywhere.
Even if this fanmi mobile phone is 50% hype, it still has innovation, at least it can get rid of the suspicion of being a knock-off.
The only thing that made him regretful was that this fanmi mobile phone seemed to be from around Hangzhou City. He really wanted to go to the launch event to witness it with his own eyes, but tickets for the fanmi mobile phone launch event were currently very hard to get.
"Excuse me, sorry to bother you!"
Qiu Zhengyang looked up and saw a young man wearing a black collared t-shirt and carrying a simple backpack, smiling at him.
"Hello, fellow student. Do you want to join the Programming Club? Please fill out a form first!" Qiu Zhengyang pulled a form from the side and handed it over.
"No, I just wanted to ask if the Academic Affairs Office is in this building?" Zhou Fan's memory of this place was a bit distant. After graduating in his past life, he joined a research institute, so he was a bit uncertain for a moment.
"Go in to the third floor, keep walking to the left and you'll see the sign!"
"Thanks!" Zhou Fan smiled, then glanced at Qiu Zhengyang's computer screen and asked, "Do you want tickets for the fanmi mobile phone launch event?"
"You have a channel?" Qiu Zhengyang was stunned and glanced at Zhou Fan unintentionally.
"I happen to have two here! Take them." Zhou Fan took out two tickets from his backpack, placed them on the long table in front, and turned to walk towards the Academic Affairs Office building.
Liu Xin picked up the tickets with some curiosity and examined them carefully.
The workmanship was extremely exquisite; it didn't look like a fake or shoddy product at all.
"Aren't these admission tickets very hard to get? How does he have them?" Liu Xin asked with some confusion.
"I don't know, it looks real. The fanmi mobile phone launch event is right here in Hangzhou City. Let's go and see if the self-developed system is real. If it is, I'll make joining Fanmi my goal!"
