"Oh, by the way, did you get that mossX1 phone?"
After the two of them expressed their feelings, Xu Lin asked.
Xie Qiao shrank his neck: "You know, the salary from our publishing house is only enough for me to make a living. I can't afford such an expensive phone."
"If you ask me, there's no point in working at the magazine. Just quit it."
"If I quit, you'll have to support me." Xie Qiao rolled his eyes.
Xu Lin smiled evilly and said, "You don't need me to raise you. Just tell me and someone will definitely be eager to raise you."
Xie Qiao blushed: "What nonsense are you talking about? Besides, I am a top student who graduated from a prestigious university. Do I need to be supported by others?"
“Hey, don’t mention the top students from famous universities. Haven’t you seen the classmates in the QQ group? Some of them are taking the postgraduate entrance examination or the civil service examination. Not many of them actually have jobs. The famous universities also have different majors. An unpopular major like ours has no advantage at all in the job market.” Xu Lin sighed.
Xie Qiao nodded in agreement, and suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, how much do you get paid per month at Qianxi Company?"
"About 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. The main thing is that the benefits are good. When I go on business trips, I stay in five-star hotels with Qianxi and eat delicious meals. The only downside is that the holidays are the busiest. I haven't been home for the New Year in two years."
After listening to Xu Lin, Xie Qiao was shocked and said, "The salary is so high? My goodness, you make as much in one month as I do in half a year. If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Qianxi's place."
"You are just talking, you just can't save your face. If you really want to come, tell Qianxi, it will be a matter of minutes."
Xie Qiao felt a little embarrassed: "It's not that I can't save face, it's mainly because I feel that it's a bit weird that we went from being best friends to being a boss and an employee all of a sudden."
Xu Lin also understood Xie Qiao's character, so he stopped trying to persuade her and changed the subject: "By the way, you and Qin Chuan were in a life-and-death situation in Tianfu, but he didn't propose to you or anything?"
When talking about Xie Qiao, he got angry: "Don't mention it. This guy acted like nothing happened after he came back. He only appeared in front of me twice. We talked for less than five minutes, and then he said he had something else to do at the company and ran away."
"Is this guy planning to abandon you after having sex with you?" Xu Lin looked at Xie Qiao suspiciously and lowered his voice to ask, "You didn't do that with him, did you?"
"Which one?" Xie Qiao didn't react for a moment. When he came to his senses, he immediately spat at Xu Lin: "What are you thinking? We didn't do anything."
"This is the most terrifying thing. You and Qin Chuan grew up together. He has been secretly in love with you for so many years, and you have experienced life and death together. How could he not have that kind of feeling towards you?"
After a thorough analysis, Xu Lin came to a conclusion: "Could it be that Qin Chuan is not capable of this?"
Xie Qiao was stunned for a moment, but after thinking carefully, he felt that what Xu Lin said made sense.
"Probably not?"
"How about you test him?"
"Test, how to test?"
Xie Qiao asked doubtfully.
"Why don't you ask him out, dress sexily, and try it out yourself?"
"How about that?"
Xu Lin curled his lips and said, "What's wrong with that? Just think of it as buying something on Yigou. If it works well, keep it. If it doesn't, you can return it within seven days without giving any reason. Otherwise, if you want to return it after you get married, then you'll be a second marriage."
"What a messed up metaphor."
Xie Qiao said this and asked Qin Chuan out that night.
At first Qin Chuan thought it was something serious, but when he entered the hotel room, he saw Xie Qiao wearing cool pajamas and his eyes widened.
Xie Qiao was quite satisfied at first and felt that she had some charm. However, Qin Chuan just stared at her and didn't dare to move forward at all. Xie Qiao had no choice but to take the initiative to pull Qin Chuan onto the bed.
As a result, Qin Chuan became pretentious, and Xie Qiao was so angry that he scolded Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan then told the truth. It turned out that he had been busy dealing with his father's debts recently. When the U.S. stock market soared the year before last, Qin Chuan's father made a lot of money, so he invested all his fortune in it. As a result, the U.S. stock market plummeted since July last year. Not only did he lose all his previous fortune, he also borrowed a lot of money to cover his positions. Then the subprime mortgage crisis broke out.
"How much money is still owed?"
Qin Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "After paying off the employees' salaries and the debts owed to suppliers, he still owes 8 million. I have been busy filling the hole for him recently."
"Eight million?" Xie Qiao was shocked.
Qin Chuan comforted him, "I will pay back the eight million slowly. Dingjian Pancakes has made good profits in recent years, but I can't come up with so much cash flow all at once. I have already discussed with the creditor that I will pay back part of it every month and pay it off within two years."
Not long after the misunderstanding was resolved, Xie Qiao took the initiative to resign from the publishing house in order not to implicate others because the author he signed had plagiarized.
Qin Chuan saw that Xie Qiao was in a bad mood, so he set up a very romantic scene to cheer her up. Xie Qiao thought that Qin Chuan was going to propose to her, but when the music and lights faded away, she still didn't see Qin Chuan take out the engagement ring. She was so angry that she almost broke up with Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan then took out a ring from his pocket and proposed to Xie Qiao.
The two families had been neighbors since childhood and knew each other well, so they quickly set a date for the wedding.
Xu Lin played with Xie Qiao's wedding ring: "Tsk tsk, Qin Chuan is a boss with a net worth of nearly 10 million after all, and he only gave you a ring like this, isn't that too stingy?"
"It's really not his fault. It's mainly because his father lost a lot of money in stock trading, and he's been busy filling the hole recently." Xie Qiao couldn't help but explain for Qin Chuan.
"You still agreed to his proposal even though you owed him money."
"What's the big deal? He was willing to go to the disaster area to save me even if he died. If I back off just because of a small amount of money owed, that would be too mean of me."
Xu Lin sighed and returned the ring to Xie Qiao: "Okay, as long as you can accept it, by the way, when is your wedding scheduled?"
"Let's do it on October 1st. Everyone has time to hold a wedding on National Day."
"Sure enough, okay, then I'll go back and tell Qianxi in advance."
Xie Qiao suddenly said, "Why haven't Lao Qin and Qian Xi gotten married after so many years? Could it be that they chose to keep their marriage secret for Qian Xi's career?"
Xu Lin shook his head and said, "It's definitely not a secret marriage. The relationship between Qianxi and Lao Qin has been reported many times by the media. Even Qianxi's fans are urging them to get back together. And even if it's a secret marriage, hiding it from others, it's impossible that they're hiding it from us, right?"
"That's right, but why didn't they get married for so long?"
"Maybe they are all too busy. Haven't you seen how fast Yiguo has grown in recent years? They have even started making mobile phones recently. I guess they are too busy to think about these things."
Xie Qiao thought for a moment and said, "How about helping them get together during my wedding?"
"Forget it. It's better for us outsiders not to interfere in this matter, lest Lao Qin think that we have agreed with Qianxi to force her into marriage."
……
The National Day holiday soon arrived, and Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi attended the wedding of Xie Qiao and Qin Chuan as best men and bridesmaids.
They were busy until the evening and then returned to their hotel room.
In the bathroom, Xiao Qianxi was particularly proactive in sticking to Qin Hao's back.
"What's wrong?" Qin Hao noticed Xiao Qianxi's emotional fluctuations.
"Nothing, I'm just happy for Xie Qiao. She looks so beautiful in her wedding dress today."
Qin Hao held Xiao Qianxi in his arms and gently tapped her nose: "You are not sincere."
"I'll give you a present later."
"what gift?"
"You'll know then."
After making love, Qin Hao carried the exhausted Xiao Qianxi to the bedroom.
"Where's the gift?"
Qin Hao took out a ring box from under the pillow as if by magic. Xiao Qianxi couldn't wait to open it, and a diamond ring lay quietly inside.
Under Xiao Qianxi's surprised gaze, Qin Hao slowly put it on her.
"How's it going? Do you like it?"
"Of course I do."
Seeing Xiao Qianxi crying with joy, Qin Hao felt a little embarrassed for a moment, because he had also given Wang Ying the same diamond ring when he went to England last month.
Alas, Qin Hao sighed secretly, he finally realized that he was a scumbag.
"Honey, shall we have a baby?"
Qin Hao was a little surprised by Xiao Qianxi's sudden words: "Will having a baby now have any impact on you?"
"It doesn't matter. At worst I'll just stop being a celebrity. I'm a little tired of it anyway."
Xiao Qianxi herself is not the kind of woman who is very career-oriented. For her, singing is on the one hand a hobby, and on the other hand she wants to compete with Wang Ying by relying on the aura of a singer.
When a woman makes such a request, a man naturally cannot back down.
That night, Qin Hao fought a tough battle, which allowed Xiao Qianxi to fall asleep with a tired smile.
……
After the National Day holiday, everything returned to normal, and Xie Qiao was busy submitting resumes and looking for a new job. Unfortunately, he ran into obstacles everywhere because of the incident with the plagiarized author he had signed before.
Just when Xie Qiao was feeling extremely frustrated, he happened to meet the author "San Gou" with whom he had had in-depth contact before.
After learning that Xie Qiao was unemployed, "San Gou" invited her to join his studio.
At the sincere invitation of "San Gou", Xie Qiao agreed to join the company, but when he arrived at the studio's office, he felt disappointed.
The studio mentioned by "San Gou" is actually a private house in an old and dilapidated neighborhood.
"What's wrong with a residential building? Didn't Qin Hao also start Yiguo in an underground garage? That doesn't prevent Yiguo from being valued at hundreds of billions of RMB now."
Hearing "San Gou" using Qin Hao as an example, Xie Qiao laughed and quickly stopped him.
"Brother Sangou, I helped Lao Qin when he started his business, so I won't bother you with chicken soup for me. I'll come up with a plan that's as good as 'Old Things in the Northeast' and I guarantee that our studio will become an instant success."
Although he boasted a lot, Xie Qiao's several selected topics were all rejected by the "Three Dogs".
"What a mess this is, full of clichés and clichés. Although our studio doesn't pursue high-end serious literature, we still need some basic literary literacy, right?"
Helplessly, Xie Qiao could only go back and continue to think hard. Qin Chuan saw that she was so worried that she couldn't eat, so he made a suggestion.
"Can we write down our story?"
Xie Qiao didn't react for a moment: "Our story, what story?"
"It's a story from our childhood until now, and it can also be seen as the growth history of our generation."
Xie Qiao's eyes lit up, and he turned around to report the topic to "San Gou".
"This topic is quite interesting. Youth literature is quite popular recently. We can give it a try."
"Brother Sangou, didn't you say you don't chase popularity?"
Sangou touched his nose awkwardly: "What I meant is not to blindly chase popularity. The studio still needs to make a living."
It just so happened that Xie Qiao’s best friend Lu Qianran was a writer, so Xie Qiao asked Lu Qianran to write an article for her.
Since the stories told by Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao were obviously subjective, Lu Qianran suggested collecting materials from more people.
So, Xu Lin and Xiao Qianxi both accepted Lu Qianran's interview. However, Lu Qianran was still not satisfied, so she asked Qin Hao out again and started a novel seminar with the "Three Dogs".
"Oh, it would be great if the eldest lady were here." Xu Lin sighed.
In the past, Xiao Qianxi would feel somewhat uncomfortable when mentioning Wang Ying, but since she received the diamond ring from Qin Hao, she felt relieved. No matter what happened between Qin Hao and Wang Ying, she was the queen.
First, Qin Hao recounted his college life from his own perspective, of course omitting what happened between him and Wang Ying.
As a result, after Qin Hao finished speaking, Lu Qianran and Sangou agreed that the character Qin Hao could be removed.
"Isn't this a bad idea?" Xie Qiao said angrily.
Lu Qianran said to Qin Hao apologetically, "Old Qin, this is it. The main plot of our novel is about the growth experience of this generation. Your story is too legendary. It seems a bit fake when written in a novel. Your story can be taken out and written into a biography. What do you think?"
"So I'm redundant." Qin Hao was speechless for a moment.
"Hey, for the sake of art, you have to make some sacrifices."
Qin Chuan raised his hands in agreement: "There can only be one person with the last name Qin in a story, and that person is me, Qin Chuan."
"cut!"
Everyone looked at him with disdain.
After collecting all the materials, Lu Qianran started writing. It’s no wonder that after the novel was published, she really reaped the benefits of youth literature. Not only did the novel sell hundreds of thousands of copies, but film and television companies also came to discuss copyright production.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is summer 2009.
On this day, 11 Wall Street was crowded with people, and countless reporters pointed their cameras at the entrance.
Until a tall young man appeared, the traders on the scene could hardly see the road under the flashing spotlights.
When Qin Hao stood on the podium and shouted: "Yiguo is not just a shopping website, nor is it just a mobile phone manufacturer. We are always committed to changing people's lifestyles."
Having said that, Qin Hao paused and spoke word by word.
“At the same time, we are also changing the world!”
For a moment, there was thunderous applause, and as Qin Hao pressed the electronic button, the Nasdaq bell rang.
Yiguo also officially landed on the New York Stock Exchange.
In the subsequent secondary market transactions, Yiguo's stock price took off, soaring 118% from the opening price of US$48.2 per share in just one hour. The closing price on the same day exceeded US$180, helping Yiguo to raise US$300 billion in funds and its market value exceeded US$3000 billion.
