Chapter 404 Proposal Failed
On New Year's Eve, when it was close to twelve o'clock, the burst of firecrackers broke the tranquility of the night. The sound of firecrackers came and went, as if to dispel the unhappiness of the past year and welcome the arrival of the New Year.
The mobile phones of Zhang Qiyuan and Ni Qingqing were also ringing with messages. In addition to blessing messages from company employees, many real estate consultants from the sales department also sent congratulatory messages.
Before Zhang Qiyuan and Ni Qingqing had time to edit text messages for their clients, they were dragged by his sister Zhang Aoyu to set off fireworks.
In order to accompany Ni Qingqing, Zhang Qiyuan specially bought two large fireworks and planned to set them off during the New Year's Eve.
After the three of them came downstairs, his father had just finished worshiping God. When he saw the three of them coming down, he quickly said: "Just in time, you guys lit the firecrackers together."
Zhang Qiyuan nodded, moved the two giant fireworks he bought to the open space, and lit them together with the firecrackers his dad had prepared.
"Whoosh...whoosh..."
As the firecrackers exploded, two beams of fireworks soared into the sky, piercing the quiet night sky, followed by two gorgeous light tracks, like a gorgeous fire dragon, parading through the stars.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
With two loud noises, fireworks bloomed in the night sky, instantly releasing countless bright stars. They jumped, flashed, and fell like raindrops. It was like a dreamy starry sky descending on the world, and fireworks blooming in the sky. , red like flames, yellow like the rising sun, blue like the ocean, green like the forest, purple like grapes, gold like ears of wheat... They complement each other and compete with each other, making the night sky look like a fairyland.
Zhang Aoyu and Ni Qingqing quickly took out their mobile phones and started shooting this beautiful scene.
The gorgeous scene quickly attracted neighbors from all over the place. It was the first time they saw two fireworks set off together. This gorgeous scene immediately filled his home with a crowd of young people.
Zhang Qiyuan basically knew everyone. Many people greeted him enthusiastically, and Zhang Qiyuan responded one by one.
While Zhang Qiyuan was admiring the display of fireworks, his sister Zhang Aoyu sneaked up to him, pulled him, and said with a look of hatred for iron, "Brother, you are such an elm-headed person, I thought you bought two I was planning to propose to my sister-in-law, but you set off the fireworks and just watched. Isn’t this the perfect time to propose?”
Zhang Qiyuan was stunned, not to mention that this scene was really suitable for a proposal. He had never thought about this before, so he was not prepared.
He glanced at Zhang Aoyu strangely, but he didn't expect that his sister knew more about this than he did.
"Am I not prepared for this?" Zhang Qiyuan spread his hands and said helplessly.
Zhang Aoyu rolled his eyes, casually put the fairy wand in his hand into Zhang Qiyuan's hand and said: "Brother, just make do with it, use this to propose before the fireworks are over."
Looking at the fireworks in his hand, Zhang Qiyuan scratched his head, and then looked at Ni Qingqing who was looking up to admire the fireworks. Zhang Qiyuan gritted his teeth, took out a lighter and lit the fairy wand that Zhang Aoyu handed him.
"Bah! Bah! Bah!"
Suddenly the fairy wand in his hand burst out with brilliant light, attracting the attention of many people.
Fortunately, he had been making short videos before, so he no longer knew what shame was. He took a deep breath and walked towards Ni Qingqing.
Ni Qingqing seemed to feel it too, and immediately looked towards Zhang Qiyuan.
Zhang Aoyu on the side had already started recording with his mobile phone.
Zhang Qiyuan slowly walked towards Ni Qingqing.
"What are you doing?" Ni Qingqing asked a little panicked.
"Propose."
"You're going to propose with this?" Ni Qingqing looked at the fairy stick in Zhang Qiyuan's hand strangely and asked.
"Fireworks are also flowers."
With that said, Zhang Qiyuan knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly: "Ni Qingqing, I like you, marry me."
After Zhang Qiyuan finished speaking, the giant fireworks he set off reached the final stage. A series of fireworks took off, instantly reflecting the entire sky with colorful colors.
Zhang Qiyuan's voice was also clearly heard by everyone around him.
When they saw Zhang Qiyuan's proposal, the people around him began to boo.
"Promise him."
"Marry him."
Ni Qingqing covered her mouth, filled with happiness and love, just when she was about to agree.
“So hot!”
Zhang Qiyuan exclaimed and threw the fairy stick in his hand. So many fairy sticks burned at the same time. He didn't feel it at first. Halfway through the burning, Zhang Qiyuan felt very hot, but he was still holding on just now. Later, Ni Qingqing didn't say anything for a long time, so he couldn't hold on anymore and could only throw away all the fairy sticks in his hand.
Fairy wands were scattered all over the ground, and the cheering crowd was a little dumbfounded.
"Too bad."
Ni Qingqing stamped her feet shyly and ran back to the house.
Zhang Qiyuan was also a little dumbfounded.
"Brother, you... are really hopeless..." Zhang Aoyu came over after taking the video and looked at Zhang Qiyuan with contempt.
Zhang Qiyuan stood up, patted his knees, looked at Zhang Aoyu angrily and said: "You also said that it was not your bad idea. How could a normal person not burn this fairy stick after burning it for so long? ”
"Hmph, I took the entire video of your embarrassment just now. I want to TikTok to show everyone what it's like to have a stupid brother." Zhang Aoyu snorted.
"How dare you." Zhang Qiyuan glared at Zhang Aoyu.
Then he said hello to the people around him: "I'm sorry, it was really hot just now. I couldn't help it. I failed everyone's good intentions. I will try my best next time."
After saying that, Zhang Qiyuan went to chase Ni Qingqing.
It's a pity that Ni Qingqing doesn't want to talk to him at all now.
So, that night, Zhang Qiyuan stayed alone in the empty room and fell asleep alone upstairs.
……
The next day, early in the morning, Zhang Qiyuan was awakened by various news.
He turned on his phone and saw WeChat messages from his relatives.
He quickly clicked on the message sent by his cousin: "Qi Yuan, you propose marriage just because you propose? Why are you making a joke?"
He then clicked on the voice message sent by his second cousin Wan Peng: "666, Qi Yuan, you are worthy of making short videos. Is this how the script is written?"
His third cousin also sent a voice message: "A half request for marriage? Is this a request or not? Or is it a request?"
Zhang Qiyuan's eyes darkened. His cousins all knew about this. Needless to say, his sister must have sent the video of him last night.
He suddenly thought of something, and quickly opened Douyin and clicked on his sister's homepage. The first video in it was the video of his proposal last night. The title read: "My stupid brother actually proposed with a fairy stick, and also did it It’s broken, what should I do? Wait online, urgent!”
What made Zhang Qiyuan collapse was that his sister's video was very popular.
He quickly clicked on the video and read the comments on the video.
[Haha, I saw such a funny video on the first day of the new year. I laughed to death. Is this true? 】
[The front is so romantic, the back is so funny. 】
[When my brother proposed, the people around him helped to create an atmosphere. What he said later was so hot that the scene immediately got stuck. 】
[Who came up with the idea of proposing with a fairy stick? 】
[Needless to say, it must be the blogger’s stupid brother. Didn’t you hear him say in the video that fireworks are also flowers? ] What annoyed Zhang Qiyuan the most was that this comment was also liked by his sister.
"Zhang Aoyu!"
Zhang Qiyuan got up in anger and hurriedly got up. He didn't even have time to clean up his words before he went downstairs with murderous intent to cause trouble for his sister.
But as soon as he came downstairs, he heard the voices of his cousins downstairs. He quickly returned upstairs, washed himself, got dressed, and then went downstairs.
"Qi Yuan, I heard that you proposed to your girlfriend last night?" His eldest cousin had a sharp eye. When she saw Zhang Qi Yuan, she immediately asked him while holding back her laughter.
"Haha..."
As soon as this question came out, several cousins present immediately laughed.
Zhang Qiyuan's face darkened, and he said with a smile: "Yesterday was the effect of the program, the effect of the program..."
"Really?"
Several cousins laughed and didn't point it out.
"Where is your girlfriend? Call her out." The cousin Zhang Qihai said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ni Qingqing walked out of Zhang Aoyu's room with a pretty face and a slight blush. After she glared at Zhang Qiyuan fiercely, she politely greeted several cousins.
Zhang Qiyuan smiled awkwardly. He knew that his reputation for failed marriage proposal had been completely spread by his sister, and everyone in the village probably knew about it.
Fortunately, the relatives at home also knew that Zhang Qiyuan was a little embarrassed and didn't say much.
After recognizing all the cousins, Ni Qingqing got to know her cousins and sister-in-law.
Because he came back with his girlfriend, the elders didn't target him this time. They just asked when he and Ni Qingqing would get married, and then put the pressure on his second cousin Wan Peng and third cousin Zhou Fanyun.
His two cousins had a lot of objections to him. In the past, Zhang Qiyuan was used to distract the firepower, but they could still withstand it. As a result, not only did Zhang Qiyuan bring his girlfriend back this year, but she was also so beautiful. The most important thing is that she is still like this now. make money.
While eating, his little aunt specifically told him to take his second cousin Wan Peng with him and wanted Wan Peng to work in his company.
Zhang Qiyuan thought for a while and said: "I run an agency company, and I don't have a basic salary. I mainly get commissions. Real estate is probably not going to work this year. I don't recommend that my cousin join my business."
To be honest, if he were in other industries, he wouldn't mind bringing his relatives to make money, but in the agency industry, he mainly relies on himself, and the market is expected to be very average in the next two years. By then, his cousin has not made any money with him, so he It's really hard to explain to his little aunt.
His little aunt saw that Zhang Qiyuan had said this, so she didn't mention the topic again.
In the next few days, Zhang Qiyuan basically visited relatives and friends, mainly to avoid topics in the village.
The topic of his failed proposal on New Year's Eve has become the hottest topic in the village. Basically, anyone who sees him will ask about it. Zhang Qiyuan has no choice but to discuss with Ni Qingqing and decide to go back to Seoul directly on the sixth day of the new year.
It just so happened that Wang Yong and Wu Jingjing were also going back to Seoul to prepare for another wedding in Seoul.
On the morning of the sixth day of the lunar month, after dinner, Zhang Qiyuan and Ni Qingqing prepared to go to Seoul with large and small bags of things. Hu Jin was going with them. He was bored at home, so he planned to take Zhang Qiyuan's car. Let’s go to Seoul together.
"Mom and Dad, I have discussed with Qingqing, and we will come to Seoul to meet Qingqing's parents on May Day, and then we can spend a few days in Seoul." Zhang Qiyuan said.
"Well, okay, you can make arrangements when the time comes." Zhang Yaochang nodded with a smile.
"Then let's go."
After Zhang Qiyuan greeted his parents and Hu Jin's father, he started the vehicle.
"Goodbye uncle and auntie, goodbye Aoyu." Ni Qingqing also greeted with a smile.
Hu Jin also said hello to his parents, and then under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Qiyuan stepped on the accelerator and left.
After more than three hours of driving, Zhang Qiyuan and others returned to Xingcheng Jingyuan. Looking at the familiar high-rise buildings, Zhang Qiyuan felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
All the surrounding shops were closed, and there were not many people on the road. However, after entering the community, I finally felt the atmosphere of the New Year. The property of Xingcheng Jingyuan hung many red lanterns and ribbons in the community, which was a blessing to the community. Here comes some festive spirit.
How else can we say that Xingcheng Jingyuan is the ceiling of the community here in the South District? Both the environment and properties of the community are very good.
After putting away his luggage, Zhang Qiyuan called Wang Yong and asked him when he would arrive in Seoul and whether he would like to have a meal together. However, Wang Yong said that he would arrive at night, and even if he arrived, he would still go to Wu Jingjing. Go home.
Zhang Qiyuan didn't say anything. He turned around and called Luo Gang. After confirming that he was at Blue Sky International, he took some farm specialties he brought over and went to Luo Gang to eat.
It was Luo Gang's wife who opened the door for them. Seeing them, Luo Gang's wife welcomed them in very enthusiastically.
"Sister-in-law, happy New Year."
Zhang Qiyuan and Ni Qingqing handed over the specialties in their hands while talking.
"We brought specialties here again. You're so polite." Luo Gang, who was busy in the kitchen, took a moment to take a look and said.
"It's okay, Qingqing and I don't open fire much anyway."
After Zhang Qiyuan changed his shoes, he chatted with Luo Gang in the kitchen.
"Did you propose to Ni Qingqing on New Year's Eve?" At this time, Luo Gang seemed to have remembered something and asked.
"Why do you ask that?" Zhang Qiyuan's face froze, and then he asked incomprehensively.
"I watched a video on Douyin. I saw a woman who looked very much like Ni Qingqing, and the man's voice was similar to yours," Luo Gang said.
Damn big data.
Zhang Qiyuan cursed secretly and quickly denied: "No, no, don't talk nonsense."
After saying that, Zhang Qiyuan quickly changed the subject and said: "By the way, you have made a lot of money over the years, and you also shared a lot of money last year. You should also make a lot of money from Qixing Rental this year, but you don't plan to buy a house? Have you been renting a house like this? It’s not a good place to live.”
"Don't tell me yet, your sister-in-law and I really plan to buy a house this year." Luo Gang said.
"Then what are you going to buy? A new house or a second-hand house? Where to buy it?" Zhang Qiyuan asked.
"It must be a second-hand house. I'm going to buy Blue Sky International. Mainly because I'm used to living here. Blue Sky International is also cheaper. And in a few years, my daughter will go to junior high school. This place is just right."
Zhang Qiyuan nodded and joked: "Let's do it this way. If you buy from me, I won't charge you an agency fee."
"Go away, I still hope to collect the owner's agency fee to get my money back." Luo Gang said angrily.
After the gag, Luo Gang asked: "Does the company have any ideas this year?"
"Yes, I don't plan to open a direct store. I will focus on franchise and partnership stores later. The main task this year is to build our company's own outreach platform." Zhang Qiyuan thought for a while.
"Does it have any characteristics? After all, the main platforms now are Beike and Anjuke. If you don't have something attractive, no one will know about your platform."
"Yes, I plan to feature 0 yuan rent to attract customers who rent houses, and then slowly gain popularity."
Zhang Qiyuan said with a smile.
During this time, he really thought about this issue.
Since he wants to develop his own outreach platform, he must have something attractive. The first thing he thought of was to cooperate with Qixing Leasing to create a 0 yuan rental gimmick.
Compared with Beike, they are definitely not comparable in terms of house sales, so he plans to start with renting. Qixing Leasing itself does not charge agency fees, and will use the gimmick of 0 yuan rent to attract some rental customers to download their APP. , when the time comes, it will also attract other second-hand landlords to come in and settle in.
After all, renting customers will also become home-buying customers in the future. As the influence of their Qijia Real Estate APP continues to deepen, he believes that one day it will be accepted by customers.
