Chapter 223
Su Ran was wearing a pure white down jacket, a red scarf, and white boots today, and jumped up to Qin Shaoyan.
In the dim evening, against the cold-toned background, the red scarf fluttering on Su Ran's body was like a dancing flame, reflecting into Qin Shaoyan's heart.
“Boss Qin came so slowly.” Su Ran pretended to be angry, “It took more than 20 minutes to get here.”
“It’s snowing today, so I walked here. "Qin Shaoyan coughed, "The road is not easy, so I came slower."
"You are such a big boss, but you don't have a car?" Su Ran asked in surprise.
"Today is the holiday, so I gave the driver a day off in advance." Qin Shaoyan replied, "After all, we are all workers, and it is not easy to celebrate the holiday."
"That's just right, let's sit down Go by the subway to avoid traffic jams." Su Ran took the initiative and hugged Qin Shaoyan's arm.
Qin Shaoyan felt his arm tighten and was pulled, and a faint fragrance hit his face.
"What programs are arranged today?" Qin Shaoyan felt a little awkward, so he had to ask in order to ease the embarrassment.
"Let's eat first, then find a karaoke bar to sing, and then we'll watch the fireworks at 12 o'clock." Su Ran said with a smile.
"The program schedule is quite full." Qin Shaoyan joked, "But this one is a bit monotonous?"
"Is it monotonous?" Su Ran asked, "I don't think so. Besides, This winter, it’s night again, where else can we go but to sing karaoke?”
“I think it would be a good choice for us to go to the Internet cafe all night long.” Qin Shaoyan suggested, “It’s warm and comfortable in the Internet cafe. It’s lively, you can eat and drink, and you can play on the computer, watch movies, and play games. It’s all very convenient.”
“You’re so naive.” Su Ran rolled his eyes, “You are the same after all. A boss actually suggested going to an Internet cafe to stay up all night.”
"The people I'm meeting are all my college classmates. Please help me hold on."
"Hold on for what?" Qin Shaoyan was a little stunned.
“Of course it’s to show off!” Su Ran said with a smile, “As long as you are tall and handsome, you have done me a great favor just by showing up. Just by standing there, I will definitely be envious. Damn those people."
"You can use me as a model." Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "I won't be allowed to perform tonight."
"No. Just stand, you don't need to speak," Su Ran quickly warned.
The two of them followed the crowd and poured into the subway station. At this time, there were not many subway lines in the capital, only Lines 1, 2 and 13, plus the Batong Line.
Su Ran glanced at the subway route map and then at the address, "Line 13, transfer to Line 2, then transfer to Line 1 and you'll be there."
Qin Shaoyan was a little curious. "Where are we going today?"
"Chaoyang International Trade."
"Good guy." Qin Shaoyan was slightly surprised, "We traveled across most of the capital for the New Year."
"It's already very convenient." Su Ran said nonchalantly, "Before, I had to take several buses."
Fortunately, I was just going out for fun, and taking the subway for an hour or two was a novel experience. .
Qin Shaoyan didn't care even more. He had tried to live a life of a cow and horse for half a year, commuting for more than two hours every day.
Su Ran seemed to be in a happy mood today. He chattered along the way, sharing trivial matters at work with Qin Shaoyan, and occasionally complained about unreliable leaders, colleagues and strange customers.
Get off at Guomao Station and stroll into a hotel next to Guomao Mall.
As soon as we entered the luxuriously decorated lobby, we were immediately greeted by a waiter, "Hello, do you two have reservations?"
"We have booked a private room." Su Ran said immediately, "It should be 301. "
The waiter checked, "Is it ordered by a lady named Ren?"
"Yes." Su Ran nodded.
The waiter immediately took Su Ran and Qin Shaoyan to the elevator until they reached the door of the box on the third floor.
As soon as he reached the door, he heard a burst of laughter coming from inside. Su Ran opened the door and walked in. There were three women sitting inside, chatting happily.
“Oh, our beautiful girl Xiao Ran is here.” A woman wearing glasses and a pink sweater sitting at the main seat stood up, happily came over and gave Su Ran a big hug. .
"Come, let me touch you and see if you have gained weight."
"It's annoying, eldest sister, you are acting like a gangster." Su Ran blushed and was hugged by the other party.
"You won't get pregnant if you touch me, so what are you afraid of?" The other party pinched Su Ran with a smile, "I haven't seen you for half a year, you haven't grown any flesh at all."
"I'm exhausted from working all day, how can I feel like gaining weight." Su Ran complained, and then said, "Sister, you haven't changed either."
A woman with pigtails next to her interjected: " The eldest sister is living a comfortable life now, unlike us."
The woman wearing glasses glanced at Qin Shaoyan and said jokingly: "You actually brought your family members with you. That's okay. You have a master just after graduation. Yes, you are moving very quickly.”
“I just met you.” Su Ran said, a little embarrassed, “Let me introduce you, this is my friend, Qin Shaoyan.”
“Shao Yan, this is the eldest sister in our dormitory, Liang Yuzhen.”
"Hello." Qin Shaoyan greeted shyly.
Su Ran pointed to the braided man again, "This is Du Xiaoying, this is Dong Yueyue."
Qin Shaoyan nodded in greeting without saying any extra words.
The eldest sister Liang Yuzhen joked with a smile, "Your boyfriend looks quite handsome, how can he be so honest."
Honest? !
Su Ran was stunned for a moment and smiled secretly in his heart. Qin Shaoyan was not an honest person.
Qin Shaoyan immediately said modestly, "I am just like my name. I am reticent and not good at words."
Liang Yuzhen asked with a smile: "You can see that I am like that. What's your job?"
"IT." Qin Shaoyan was still shy, "I am in the IT industry."
"The IT industry is very popular now. , then your income must be good," Liang Yuzhen asked casually.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay."
Su Ran quickly interjected, "We are the only four in our dormitory today?"
"Huang Xuanxuan hasn't arrived yet. She brought her husband with her. Friends are here." Du Xiaoying took over, "Except for the other three who are out of town, we are all here in the dormitory."
"Huang Xuanxuan?" Su Ran frowned, "Why did you call her here?" "
Du Xiaoying said with a smile: "We are all classmates, and they are all hanging out in the capital. We don't know each other, so we called them over to get together. "
Dong Yueyue next to her rolled her eyes, "We treat them as classmates, but they don't treat us as classmates."
Su Ran also sneered: "She didn't have such a good relationship with everyone when she was in school. What's the point of building relationships after graduation?"
The eldest sister Liang Yuzhen smiled and smoothed things over, "Forget it, just call. It's a festival, let's have fun together."
" That’s six people?”
“No, it’s seven,” Du Xiaoying said with a smile, “The eldest sister’s husband will be here soon.”
"Huh?" Su Ran was a little surprised, "Sister, it's really strange that your family is finally free to spend the holidays with you."
Liang Yuzhen said nonchalantly: "I don't care what the old couple is doing. I happened to be free today, so I asked him to come over to accompany me. "How can I be embarrassed? He is also a section chief."
"I've known him since I was in college. What's so embarrassing?"
Qin Shaoyan sat aside and watched them chatting quietly.
From their reminiscences, we learned that of the eight people in their dormitory at university, only five stayed in the capital, and the remaining three returned to their hometowns and entered the system through connections.
Among the five people who stayed in Beijing, Liang Yuzhen worked in finance at a state-owned enterprise, and Du Xiaoying entered a securities company.
The remaining two people, like Su Ran, work in banks.
While the conversation was getting heated, the box door was pushed open and a man and a woman walked in.
The man is in his twenties and has a somewhat fat body. The leather jacket he is wearing seems to be a bit ill-fitting, and he looks like a ball when he holds it up.
With a slicked back hair and sunglasses, he looked a bit funny.
The woman is dressed up and dressed in a gray-white mink coat.
As soon as the man came in, he held up his hands with a smile and said: "Sorry, sorry, I'm a little late. I'll punish myself with three drinks in a while. Today's meal is mine."
The woman squeezed out With a fake smile, "I'm sorry, it's snowing today, and there's a traffic jam on the road. My boyfriend's sports car can't get up quickly, so I'm late."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bit of a chill in the box. .
Several other women looked at her sideways, as if they were watching her show off quietly.
Huang Xuanxuan didn't seem to notice, "Oh, it's so hot. How much should the hotel air conditioner be turned on?"
As she spoke, she took off her mink coat and hung it on the hanger.
Du Xiaoying stood up and greeted: "It's good to come, it's really hard to leave today."
"Xuanxuan, why don't you introduce your boyfriend?"
< br>
The smile on Huang Xuanxuan's face became brighter and she held the fat man's hand tightly, "This is my boyfriend Liu Mingzu, the owner of Tiancheng Technology Company. He is engaged in the Internet and high technology."
"Oh, The Internet is high-tech." Du Xiaoying looked at Su Ran and Qin Shaoyan meaningfully, "Su Ran, this is your boyfriend."
Su Ran's heart tightened. I think Qin Shaoyan is a gamer, and he has nothing to do with the Internet.
Qin Shaoyan smiled and said nothing.
Liu Mingzu rolled his eyes and then laughed, "It's high-tech but not high-tech. I just set up an Internet company. It's not high-tech."
"Internet companies are everywhere now, and they are not worth mentioning."
Huang Xuanxuan immediately said, "Why is it not considered high-tech? Your website can't be built by ordinary people, isn't it? Did you win any awards? "
"It's just a bit of a name," Liu Mingzu said with a smile.
Huang Xuanxuan said with pride: "My boyfriend's website is worth tens of millions. He is just too humble."
Others present couldn't help but roll their eyes. , find an upstart to show off here.
Qin Shaoyan looked surprised, "The valuation is tens of millions, that's really impressive."
Huang Xuanxuan's face immediately dropped, and she said dissatisfied: "What is valuation? The website is worth how much Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Where did you come from?"
Su Ran's face changed, his eyebrows stood up, and he reached out and grabbed the teapot, "Huang Xuanxuan, what do you mean?"
"You're too brave to be with a rich man."
Qin Shaoyan quickly held down Su Ran, fearing that she would jump up and go crazy.
Liu Mingzu laughed, "It's all a joke, please don't hurt your friendship."
Huang Xuanxuan wanted to say something else, but Liu Mingzu next to her glared at her, and Huang Xuanxuan turned her head to the side angrily, as if she was still a little agitated. Angry.
“This friend is quite knowledgeable.” Liu Mingzu glanced at Qin Shaoyan in surprise, and then laughed quite complacently, “Oh, it’s not worth mentioning, it’s not worth mentioning, my website Compared with other big companies, it’s just a drop in the bucket.”
“Boss Liu is so humble. It’s really impressive to be able to make a website worth tens of millions.” Qin Shaoyan nodded with a smile.
Liu Mingzu looked up Qin Shaoyan with a smile, "My friend, I heard that you are also in the same industry, where do you think you are high up?"
"A small startup company is not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning." Qin Shaoyan waved his hand and said modestly, "It was just established a few years ago."
"Now is a good opportunity for Internet entrepreneurship. Take a good look. Go ahead, maybe this guy’s company will start up soon,” Liu Mingzu said with a smile, “As long as the data is good, venture capital will come to invest money soon, and then the company will be successful.”
< br>Qin Shaoyan nodded, "With venture capital money, the company will survive. It seems that Boss Liu has also received venture capital?"
Liu Mingzu laughed and said casually: "Absolutely, we have made several deals with him. The venture capital firms are negotiating, and they are all optimistic about it."
"Congratulations to Boss Liu," Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "There are venture capital investors who are spending money to inflate the valuation and promote the data. , then find a new owner and sell the company, and you’ll have the money.”
"Eh?!" Liu Mingzu's eyes lit up and he looked at Qin Shaoyan in surprise, feeling that the silent man in front of him was so knowledgeable.
"Brother Qin, we have to have a few drinks later." Liu Mingzu suddenly became more enthusiastic and moved towards Qin Shaoyan, "It's rare to meet a colleague, let's have a good chat."
< br>Qin Shaoyan nodded, "Absolutely."
Su Ran was a little surprised and looked at the two people back and forth. Liu Mingzu looked like a nouveau riche. How could he be so speculative in chatting with Qin Shaoyan?
“What does Boss Liu’s website do?” Qin Shaoyan asked.
"Nothing, I do all kinds of business." Liu Mingzu said with a smile, "SMS adds value, tells people various information, short stories, and sells ring tones."
"Hey, you have the copyright of the ring tones. ?"
"No, they are all pirated." Liu Mingzu said nonchalantly, "Who cares about copyright now? Look at Baidu, you can search a lot of songs, I will package them and play them. Go to the website and listen to the music online.”
“In addition, get some pictures that should be exposed, and the number of clicks will come.”
“Oh, Boss Liu will do it. "Play." Qin Shaoyan exclaimed, "How about the profitability of your website?"
"Not bad, I made several million." Liu Mingzu said proudly.
“Is Cailing so profitable?” Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised.
"Those are all small ones, and the big ones are actually audio stories." Liu Mingzu said mysteriously, "I'll find a few people, find some stories and convert them into audio, and then let members pay to listen."
"Horror ghost stories, passionate essays, the money comes easily."
Qin Shaoyan was shocked and gave a thumbs up, "Boss Liu really knows how to play."
"It's a small skill, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning." Liu Mingzu said proudly, but the wrinkles on his face almost disappeared from his smile.
"Then your website can easily be sold for tens of millions."
"My website is not for sale." Liu Mingzu waved his hand, "I don't do this website to make money. Mainly for career."
"Huh?" Qin Shaoyan glanced at Liu Mingzu in surprise, "For career?"
"To be honest, my family is not short of money." He whispered, "My father owns several mines. I think there is no future in going back to inherit the family business and mining. It is better to go out and make a career on my own."
Good guy, this is still a coal boss.
