Chapter 224 Toast
Liu Mingzu, whose family owns a mine, looks like a nouveau riche in appearance and temperament, but his words are smooth and worldly, which is different from the classic image of the arrogant and domineering second generation.
However, his girlfriend Huang Xuanxuan has a philistine face, which makes her feel misplaced.
Qin Shaoyan thought Liu Mingzu was interesting, so he chatted for a few words.
Especially his paid audio novels. Although the track is niche, he can still make money.
They say it is a horror story or a passionate short story, these are all vague terms, but in fact they are all kinds of marginal erotic novels.
The old drivers who are lonely late at night are the main paying users, and the payment is deducted directly through text messages, which is particularly convenient.
Liu Mingzu was invited to attend such a strange dinner. He originally thought it was quite boring, but when he met his colleague Qin Shaoyan, they started chatting.
Unexpectedly, this colleague was also very knowledgeable and understood what he was talking about. The more Liu Mingzu chatted, the happier he became and started to brag.
Sometimes we are not in the same circle, and chatting together is very boring.
Because outsiders lack understanding of things in the circle, not only do they have no common topics to talk about, but they also cannot boast about it.
For example, if you brag that you have accomplished a particularly awesome thing, knowledgeable people will say it is amazing when they hear it. People outside the circle will probably just say lightly, "Oh, what's the point?"
The atmosphere in the box became particularly weird at this time. Two men here were chatting about the Internet.
On the other side, Liang Yuzhen, Su Ran, Du Xiaoying and Dong Yueyue were reminiscing about their college days, complaining about weird things at work, and talking about some gossip in the industry.
Then there was only Huang Xuanxuan left, sitting there alone with no one paying attention to her. She had not had a good relationship with other people when she was in school, especially Su Ran, who didn't like her.
In the past, I always compared myself with Su Ran, trying to outdo each other in everything.
Huang Xuanxuan brought Liu Mingzu here to this party just to show off her boyfriend.
But she didn't expect that Su Ran also brought a boyfriend, and he was so handsome, which made Huang Xuanxuan feel jealous.
Su Ran was not completely overwhelmed, and the anger in her heart could not be relieved. Huang Xuanxuan was holding back her anger and would say strange words from time to time.
As a result, they were all pushed back by Su Ran and others. Huang Xuanxuan was so angry that she stamped her feet. When she turned around, she saw that her boyfriend and Su Ran's boyfriend were chatting happily.
Huang Xuanxuan was so angry that she couldn't talk about classmates, and she couldn't talk about men.
What’s so great about being so handsome? He’s not just a poor guy.
Liu Mingzu is also a good-for-nothing. Why don’t you take me so seriously when talking to my mother? What’s the point of talking to a poor guy?
Here Liu Mingzu said with excitement, "I'll have a few drinks with Brother Qin later. It's rare to meet a confidant. You know your stuff. There are many things I told those venture capital investors that they couldn't understand."< br>
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.” Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, “I’ve been in the Internet industry for a long time and I know more.”
"Brother Qin, please stop being modest. There are actually very few knowledgeable people in this industry." Liu Mingzu changed the topic and said, "Brother Qin, where is your job? Are you willing to be a manager in my company?"
< br>Hey guys, you are poaching me.
Qin Shaoyan waved his hand, "Thank you, Boss Liu, for your kindness. I'm doing well in my startup company. My boss treats me well, and I have no plans to change jobs for the time being."
"Oh." Liu Mingzu said with satisfaction. With regret on his face, he felt that Mingzhu was hiding something from him, so he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Qin Shaoyan, not forgetting to tell him, "If you don't want to stay in that company anymore, just remember to come to me, I'm thirsty for talents. "
"Definitely, definitely." Qin Shaoyan said casually.
The box door was gently pushed open, and a young man wearing glasses looked over.
Liang Yuzhen, who was chatting happily over there, quickly waved, "Here, here, come in, I'm waiting for you."
The young man wearing glasses opened the door and walked in. "I'm sorry, the leader of the unit came to see me for something unexpectedly. I'm late."
Liang Yuzhen stood up and took the other party's bag, while complaining, "I've been waiting for you all over the room. What do you think you don't know?" How big is the rack?”
The young man looked apologetic, “I’m so sorry.”
Huang Xuanxuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said in a weird voice: "What's the use of just apologizing? You have to be sincere anyway, right?"
The young man was stunned for a moment and glanced at Liang Yuzhen.
Liang Yuzhen’s expression was serious, “Our old Hu’s situation is special, so let’s forget it this time.”
“Why should we forget it?” Huang Xuanxuan said reluctantly, “My boyfriend came late. After ten minutes, he said he would punish himself with three drinks. Hu Zhe was half an hour late, and there was a room full of people waiting for him with hungry stomachs. It’s not too much to let him drink six drinks.”
“Then I’ll drink it for Lao Hu. Three cups will do." Liang Yuzhen frowned.
"It doesn't matter if you drink for him." Huang Xuanxuan rolled her eyes.
Hu Zhe hesitated, and finally smiled, "Okay, I'll just drink."
Liu Mingzu, who was chatting with Qin Shaoyan, stood up quickly, "Eat the food first, drink the food first." We’ll talk about it later.”
“Hu Zhe, right? I’ll respect you later.”
Hu Zhe glanced in Liu Mingzu’s direction, with some surprise in his eyes, and then nodded. , "Okay, let's have a few drinks later."
Huang Xuanxuan wanted to say something else, but Liu Mingzu came over and pushed her down on the chair, whispering in her ears: "My little ancestor, have a good meal today, you just stop talking, okay?"
"What? There's nothing left to say." Huang Xuanxuan twisted her body with an unhappy face and shook off Liu Mingzu's hand on her shoulder.
"Can I buy you a bracelet tomorrow?" Liu Mingzu comforted him in a low voice, then raised his head, "Everyone is here, then I will ask the waiter to order."
< br>"You can tell me what you want to eat. I will pay for the festival today. You can eat and play happily."
After speaking, Liu Mingzu turned around and left the box, stood in the corridor and shouted: "Waiter."< br>
At this time, the elevator door next to it opened, and a group of business people in suits and ties came out, chatting and walking towards the corridor.
Liu Mingzu looked stunned and waved the waiter over, "Which box did those people go to just now?"
The waiter quickly replied: "Those are the guests in box 308."< br>
Liu Mingzu was about to follow him, but he quickly stopped and pondered for a moment, "What good wine does your hotel have? Bring a few bottles and send them over. If they ask, just say it was from Boss Liu of 301." When they want to pay, just say I paid for them.”
The waiter nodded, “Okay.”
"Hurry up and serve us the food. We've been waiting for a long time." Liu Mingzu said and re-entered the box door.
"Sorry, everyone has been waiting for a long time." Liu Mingzu said with a smile, "I just met Zhou Dao, the vice president of China IDG, and we talked for a few words, and then we were delayed."
Du Xiaoying next to me was very surprised, "Vice President Zhou from IDG, he actually came to this hotel for dinner."
"Yes, it's better to arrive early than to arrive late." Liu Mingzu said with a smile, " I have some business dealings with him, so we happened to meet and chatted."
Su Ran and Dong Yueyue next to me were confused, "What kind of company is IDG?"
"IDG is an investment company that specializes in investing money in various companies." Du Xiaoying began to educate the sisters, "This company was established in 1993. The company's boss, Xiong Xiaoge, is a well-known investor. He returned to China with 20 million US dollars and gave Domestic technology companies have invested US$1 billion."
Liang Yuzhen said in surprise: "This IDG is so rich."
"It's not just rich," Hu Zhe interrupted. Xiong Xiaoge was invited back to China by the superiors and has a close relationship with the Ministry of Science and Technology. They have invested in many domestic Internet companies."
"For example, Penguin, Baidu, Sohu, and the recently popular Campus Network."
As Hu Zhe spoke, he glanced at Qin Shaoyan, but Qin Shaoyan was like an idiot, eating the snacks on the table expressionlessly.
Did he admit his mistake?
Hu Zhe shook his head and put down the idea. Su Ran and others here were all surprised. They didn't expect IDG to have such a big background.
Liu Mingzu said with a proud smile, "IDG has taken a fancy to our website and is ready to invest in us."
Hu Zhe was a little surprised, "I didn't expect that Liu The boss is also an IT elite, and he is actually favored by IDG.”
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning." Liu Mingzu only felt proud, "Our website has great potential, so several venture capital investors are optimistic about us."
"Brother Qin, how are you? ?" Liu Mingzu winked and said, "We have more money here."
Qin Shaoyan smiled and said nothing.
Huang Xuanxuan, who was next to Liu Mingzu, couldn't help but mocked, "There are people here who can't hold up the wall even if they are mud, and they don't know how to cherish the help of noble people."
"Huang Xuanxuan!" Su Ran couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "Xiao Bichi, you are so shameless."
Liu Mingzu was a little confused. He didn't expect Huang Xuanxuan to lose control of her mouth again.
The atmosphere in the box suddenly became tense. Su Ran was furious and trembling with anger.
If Huang Xuanxuan was the one who made her angry, she would tolerate it, but Huang Xuanxuan was targeting Qin Shaoyan, which she couldn't bear anymore.
Su Ran kicked away the stool, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to have a battle with Huang Xuanxuan.
Qin Shaoyan quickly hugged Su Ran and calmed her down, "Don't be excited, don't be excited, leave it to me."
Then Qin Shaoyan looked at Liu Mingzu, "Mr. Liu, this is your girlfriend, you can handle it yourself."
Liu Mingzu hesitated a little, then forced a smile on his face, "Brother Qin..."
While the tension was rising here, the box door was pushed open.
IDG Vice President Zhou Dao stood at the door with someone, holding up a wine glass, "It turns out to be Mr. Liu, thank you for the wine."
Liu Mingzu was stunned for a moment, and he was overjoyed. , "Oh, Mr. Zhou, I need you to go there in person for such a small matter."
"It's just a few bottles of wine, not worth mentioning. I thought that tomorrow is New Year's Day, and I happened to see you there, so I borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha and gave you a few bottles of wine."
"Love me. If you take it, there's no need for wine." Zhou Dao held up the wine glass, "Let's have a drink as a thank you."
"Mr. Zhou is so polite." Liu Mingzu quickly picked up the wine glass and drank it.
After Zhou Dao drank the wine, he casually glanced at the box, and then he was stunned, "Hey, Mr. Qin, why are you here too."
Everyone in the box was stunned. , who is Mr. Qin?
Then everyone looked at Qin Shaoyan, their eyes filled with unbelievable shock.
As he spoke, Zhou Dao walked around Liu Mingzu and walked quickly towards Qin Shaoyan, with a smile on his face, "Look what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Zhou Dao He warmly stretched out his hand and shook Qin Shaoyan's hand, "Mr. Qin, you are eating here too."
"Getting together with a few friends." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou, you have been here for several days." You don’t even come to our company anymore, do you dislike our company?”
“Mr. Qin, you are joking.” Zhou Dao laughed, “Mr. Xiong has assigned me too much work, and I would be too busy to handle it. I really want to stay on the campus network forever, where I can have food and drinks, and the people in your company talk nicely, just like going home.”
"Then I have to criticize Mr. Xiong more. Mr. Zhou, you can't use it to death even if it's so easy to use." Qin Shaoyan joked, "Besides, our campus network work is also very important. We must have Mr. Zhou like you." Only talented people are in charge."
"Mr. Qin, you are complimenting me." Zhou Dao waved his hand, "With your leadership, the campus network is prospering, so there is no need for me to talk."
“Our whole company at IDG is waiting for Campus Network to ring the Nasdaq bell next year. We are so happy.”
“It is not easy to go public.” Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I have to work harder to achieve this goal as soon as possible, and I also need the help of Mr. Xiong and Mr. Zhou."
"With Mr. Qin here, the listing of the campus network is a sure thing." Zhou Dao smiled. He said, "I have followed this project throughout the whole process. When the time comes to go public, don't forget to take me with you."
"Mr. Qin, you are busy, so I won't disturb you."
Zhou Dao picked up the wine on the table, filled it for himself, toasted Qin Shaoyan, and then left politely.
The box fell silent instantly. Su Ran looked at Qin Shaoyan in disbelief, speechless.
I didn’t expect the vice president of IDG to be so polite to Qin Shaoyan, and even took the initiative to greet him and toast him respectfully.
Didn’t Qin Shaoyan say that he was just a game company boss?
Others were even more surprised. They didn't expect Su Ran to bring this boyfriend and looked at him blankly, silently.
Unexpectedly, IDG executives could treat each other like this, as if Qin Shaoyan was his boss.
Liang Yuzhen's boyfriend Hu Zhe also said at this time, "It turns out it's really Mr. Qin from the campus network. I thought I was wrong just now."
Qin Shaoyan was a little surprised, "You Do you know me?"
"I work in the city. I met Mr. Qin at the last Global International Marathon." Hu Zhe took the initiative to shake hands with Qin Shaoyan, "Mr. Qin was with the city at that time. The local leaders took a group photo together, and I stood behind the city leaders.”
Liu Mingzu watched the whole process in stunned silence, with only one thought in his mind.
It’s over, this little fish has met a big crocodile.
Just now, I was Brother Qin, and in the blink of an eye, I became Mr. Qin.
It’s Mr. Qin from the campus network.
Others may not understand what the campus network represents, but Liu Mingzu is an Internet user, so he knows it very well.
Campus Network is the fastest-growing Internet company in the past two years. It is a big brother of social networking sites and has a valuation of several billion.
And he had heard that the background of the campus network was unusual. Thinking about it, he knew that a competition as big as the Global Marathon could be handled by an ordinary company?
Zhou Dao from IDG would take the initiative to toast Qin Shaoyan when he came over. Can he afford to offend him?
I had a good chat with Mr. Qin just now, and they were almost close friends. Although the title of Brother Qin was a bit embarrassing, it still seemed close to him.
But this friendly atmosphere was ruined by Huang Xuanxuan, who ruined everything.
It was hard for him to seduce this woman. He admitted that he was greedy for Huang Xuanxuan's body, but he never expected that this devil's figure had a dog's brain and a mouth.
The good opportunity to build a relationship was completely ruined by Huang Xuanxuan's mouth.
Liu Mingzu was filled with regret there, and suddenly saw Qin Shaoyan looking over, and he suddenly felt excited all over.
"Mr. Qin, don't worry, I'll give you an explanation of this right away!" Liu Mingzu jumped up suddenly, grabbed Huang Xuanxuan's arm and dragged her out of the box.
Huang Xuanxuan was stunned at this time, and she was easily dragged out of the box without any precautions.
"Pa!" Liu Mingzu slapped Huang Xuanxuan on the face, "Bitch, I don't want to see you again, get out of here."
Huang Xuanxuan's fair face turned red from the slap. , the whole person was stunned, and it took a few seconds to react, and screamed: "How dare you hit me!?"
Liu Mingzu grabbed Huang Xuanxuan's arm and said viciously: "If you don't get out of here, I will ask the bank to fire you tomorrow."
Huang Xuanxuan was stunned. Looking at Liu Mingzu's ferocious expression, she didn't dare to say a word and left in a hurry.
After sending Huang Xuanxuan away, Liu Mingzu tidied his clothes, took a deep breath, opened the door again and entered the box.
"Mr. Qin, I drove that woman away." Liu Mingzu said with a smile on his face, "I'm really sorry for disturbing everyone's enjoyment."
"Mr. Liu, why are you doing this?" Qin Shaoyan sighed. His tone was, "Why are you still standing there, sit down quickly."
Liu Mingzu was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly sat down next to Qin Shaoyan.
