Chapter 240 Happy New Year
The arrival of his parents made Qin Shaoyan live a life of eating and waiting to die. He had three meals prepared every day and just waited to be called to eat.
Eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are sleepy, and be nagged by your parents when you have nothing to do.
Besides being rejected and not working, the most talked about thing is when to find a partner.
No matter how Qin Donghai and Xun Xiaohui ridiculed and criticized Huaiwei, Qin Shaoyan was completely showing off, saying he was happy with his promises, but actually he didn't take them into his heart.
Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, the faint sound of firecrackers rang.
Qin Donghai and Xun Xiaohui have begun to get busy, and there is a "clinking" sound of chopping meat in the kitchen.
With the accompaniment of pots and pans, Qin Shaoyan sat up from the bed and yawned.
Leaving the warm bed quickly made him wake up, quickly put on his clothes and got up.
The house Qin Shaoyan rents does not yet have floor heating. The room is heated entirely by radiator pipes and radiators. The room temperature is far less warm than in a newly built house with floor heating.
After leaving the bedroom, Qin Shaoyan washed up. Hearing the movement in the kitchen and the aroma that was constantly wafting, he couldn't help but go over and take a look.
My mother has already mixed the dough, greased the chopping board with oil, kneaded the dough and cut it into pieces, and then patted it into long strips.
The oil in the pot is hot, put the dough pieces in one by one.
The white noodles are immersed in the golden hot oil and expand rapidly. As the chopsticks are stirred and rolled, they gradually turn golden.
The fried pasta was quickly fished out and thrown into the fence to control the oil.
Qin Shaoyan's mouth watered when he looked at it. This thing is called differently in different places, some are called fruit, and some are called sesame candy.
Ignoring the fact that the freshly baked pasta was hot to the touch, Qin Shaoyan picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth, squinting his eyes in comfort.
“Use chopsticks to pick it up!” Qin Donghai scolded, “My hands are full of oil.”
“I’ll try it.” Qin Shaoyan said, picked up another one, and quickly stuffed it in In the mouth.
“Don’t make trouble here, get out.” Qin Donghai impatiently drove his son out of the kitchen, “I’m going to fry meatballs later, don’t splash oil all over you, your fine clothes will be in trouble. .”
Xun Xiaohui also followed the lesson and said, "You are useless, you are just making trouble."
Qin Shaoyan retorted weakly: "I want to help, and I can help too. I can cook."
"Pull it down." Xun Xiaohui said, scraping the fish scales with a knife, "How can you help if you don't enter the kitchen once a year?"
"Look at you, you don't even have cooking wine, and you still say you can cook."
"I have liquor here." Qin Shaoyan took out a bottle of Fenjiu from the corner of the living room, "This is a gift from someone else Yes, just use it.”
This was probably the biggest help Qin Shaoyan could do, and then he could only sit on the sofa in the living room, waiting for the food to be served.
As noon approached, Qin Shaoyan’s cell phone started being bombarded with text messages.
New Year's greetings messages with an earthy flavor poured in, and Qin Shaoyan had to start replying one by one.
Of course, the content of the reply will be different depending on the status of the person who sent the blessing message.
For employees and subordinates, just copy a text message and send it back in bulk.
If it's a text message from a venture capital investor or a friend's business owner, Qin Shaoyan will edit a blessing himself, then paste in someone else's words and forward it to it.
Chen Peng's text message was the shortest, and it looked like it was typed by his own hand. Qin Shaoyan also replied with a few auspicious New Year greetings.
Director Meng and Director Hao simply exchanged a few words, and then the other party responded to the text message, expressing gratitude to Mr. Qin for his blessings, looking forward to the cooperation blueprint for the new year, and wishing both parties good luck in their cooperation. Be happy and have a successful career.
As the hotel approached, there were more and more text messages. Qin Shaoyan had to speed up his hand speed, and his fingers almost left an afterimage when pressing the keys, and the content became more and more perfunctory.
The trend of texting during holidays has also emerged in the past two years, especially during the Chinese New Year. From New Year's Eve to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone who has a mobile phone is busy sending text messages.
Later, with the popularity of smart phones and mobile Internet, this trend gradually disappeared.
When the table was filled with food, Qin Shaoyan sat down on the chair at the urging of his parents and started eating.
The food is not very exquisite and the ingredients are not very high-end, but these are cooked by his parents, which naturally makes Qin Shaoyan have a big appetite.
......
Qin Shaoyan collapsed on the sofa after eating and drinking, watching TV series with his mother and texting non-stop.
Qin Donghai was sitting at the computer desk, typing awkwardly on the keyboard and chatting with others on QQ using Wubi.
Qin Shaoyan glanced at it and asked casually: "Dad, who are you chatting with?"
"My eldest brother's child, you should call him younger brother." Qin Donghai replied, "Nowadays, children have learned to use computers to surf the Internet, and they all use QQ to chat. I also created a QQ account and added them to it. I can chat with them if they have nothing to do and ask about the situation in my hometown."
"Oh. ." Qin Shaoyan nodded, "Everyone is doing well in my hometown, right?"
"It's okay. They don't farm anymore, and they all go to work in factories." Qin Donghai typed on the keyboard slowly. "You can't make much money from farming. Except for my uncle who is still farming, the eldest and second brothers of my uncle's family have gone to the city to build houses and will not come back until the Chinese New Year."
"The child took the new year's money and ran out to surf the Internet. When I saw him, we started chatting."
Qin Donghai felt a little emotional, as if he no longer knew his hometown.
Qin Shaoyan came over and found that the kid opposite QQ was quite fashionable. He not only opened a membership but also bought a QQ show. It looked like he had a six-digit QQ number.
“These things are all bought with money, right?” Qin Donghai pointed at the things on QQ.
"Well, you have to spend money to buy it." Qin Shaoyan nodded.
"Tell me how smart the people working on the Internet are today." Qin Donghai sighed, "How could they come up with such an idea and defraud children of their money?"
"This thing can't be eaten or worn. , why buy this?”
Qin Shaoyan explained: “This is a show-off mentality, allowing QQ users to compare with each other, so that they can sell services better.”
“In other words. Are you still trying to cheat money?" Qin Donghai frowned and criticized.
Qin Shaoyan was a little dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.
"What's your QQ number?" Qin Donghai asked suddenly, "Let's add the two of us."
"Okay." Qin Shaoyan immediately reported his QQ number, "23333."
Qin Donghai was stunned for a moment, "Why is your QQ account so good?"
"Oh, I am their permanent member, so I was given a special account." Qin Shaoyan said casually.
Qin Donghai immediately became alert, "How much did you spend?"
"No money." Qin Shaoyan said immediately.
“Why don’t I believe it?” Qin Donghai said with a sullen face, “How could someone give you such a good QQ account without spending any money?”
“I know their boss. ." Qin Shaoyan said helplessly, "It's really no money."
"Just brag." Qin Donghai doesn't believe it.
Qin Shaoyan took out his cell phone and opened his address book, "Look, this is Boss Penguin's cell phone number. We really know each other."
Qin Donghai looked at him with suspicious eyes, "Then you also want a good number for me." "It's easy." Qin Shaoyan directly dialed Ma Huateng's number, "Brother Ma, happy new year, congratulations. Make a fortune.”
“Happy New Year, Mr. Qin,” Ma Huateng responded with a smile, “Why did Mr. Qin call me personally to say New Year’s greetings?”
"I always feel that sending text messages is not formal enough." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "Let's talk on the phone. It's easier than sending text messages and it seems sincere."
"Mr. Qin, you are too polite."
"Yes." Qin Shaoyan said, "Thank you Mr. Ma for your strong support to the campus network in the past year and helping to promote the campus network."
"Then I also want to thank Mr. Qin for listing on Penguin It helped me a lot," Ma Huateng said very gratefully.
Qin Shaoyan worked hard last year, teaming up with V and Penguin to hype it up, which also stimulated Penguin’s stock to continue to rise.
"Helping Penguin also helps our campus network. This is a win-win situation." Qin Shaoyan said nonchalantly, "We still have many areas for cooperation."
"That's right. "Ma Huateng continued to ask, "Mr. Qin, the Counter-Strike online game we agreed on before."
"Everything is under control." Qin Shaoyan replied without blushing, "Mr. Ma will ask Mr. Ren and the others to come over again after the year. Some project details need to be sorted out and aligned."
"OK , I will inform them." Ma Huateng was very happy.
Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Qin Donghai couldn't help but stretch his neck and look at Qin Shaoyan.
Qin Shaoyan immediately said: "By the way, Mr. Ma, can you do me a small favor?"
"Mr. Qin, please speak."
"Can you give me another beautiful QQ account?" Qin Shaoyan said directly, "I will give it to my father."
"No problem." Ma Huateng agreed happily, "I will give it to my uncle in a minute. Open one.”
“If you are a member, please open it.” Qin Shaoyan warned again.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Shaoyan made an OK gesture towards his father.
Qin Donghai was still a little dazed and asked suspiciously: "Is this the end?"
"What else?" Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "It's just how difficult a small thing can be."
After a while, Ma Huateng sent a text message, which contained a QQ number and password.
It is still a five-digit number, 66888, which looks quite auspicious.
Qin Shaoyan immediately logged in his father with a new number and found that not only had he been a member but he had also received 6,000 Q coins as a gift.
"It's done." Qin Shaoyan patted his father on the shoulder, "You can use this number from now on."
Qin Donghai was stunned, rubbed his eyes, looked at the new QQ account carefully, and suddenly asked after a long silence: "Why is this Penguin boss so nice to you?"
"How can we be considered the same? Friend, and there is also business cooperation." Qin Shaoyan explained with a smile, "It's easy to ask him for a QQ account."
"Business cooperation?" Qin Donghai frowned and then said seriously. Looking at Qin Shaoyan, he said earnestly, "Son, it doesn't matter how much money you make, but you must learn well and follow the right path."
"Ah?!" Qin Shaoyan was a little confused and didn't understand what his father was doing. This sentence suddenly came out.
Before he could explain, the text message on his phone rang again.
Qin Shaoyan glanced at it and was stunned because the person who sent the text message was Zhang Wanli.
He opened the text message and took a look at the content. It contained two ordinary New Year greetings. It didn't look like it was copied and pasted from somewhere else. It should have been typed by hand.
Qin Shaoyan fell into deep thought while looking at the text message. He did not expect that the other party would actually send him a New Year's message.
Zhang Wanli makes Qin Shaoyan a little unsure. The two of them worked very well together on the last "Global International Marathon" project.
Director Zhang also put in a lot of effort, so that this project quickly gained the attention of the leaders in the capital city, and successfully completed all preparations with extremely high efficiency.
Although there was an element of mutual use, Zhang Wanli warned Qin Shaoyan in private, which made him feel somewhat favorably.
Later Zhang Wanli kicked out a certain Director Fan lightly, showing his unusual background, which really shocked Qin Shaoyan a little.
Since the last cooperation, Qin Shaoyan has not contacted Zhang Wanli again, and he feels that it is good to remain an acquaintance.
It is not necessarily a good thing for people with background to climb up randomly.
Qin Shaoyan glanced at the text message, sorted out his thoughts and directly dialed Zhang Wanli.
Soon Zhang Wanli answered the phone, "I'm Zhang Wanli."
"Director Zhang, wish you a happy New Year." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I just saw the New Year text message you sent. I'll call you to say hello. Year."
"Oh." Zhang Wanli said lightly, "Why don't you just give me a reply?"
"This seems more formal. Well." Qin Shaoyan said with a smile, "I haven't seen Director Zhang for a long time, so I was surprised to receive a text message."
"You can send me a text message to show that Director Zhang has not forgotten me."< br>
Zhang Wanli hesitated for a moment, "I just sent them one by one according to the address book."
"..." Qin Shaoyan said, "Then I won't disturb Director Zhang."
"Wait a minute. " Zhang Wanli suddenly said, "Didn't you say you wanted to pay New Year's greetings? Why did you hang up after just two words? "
"I think Director Zhang will be very busy during the New Year, so I won't bother you anymore. ." Qin Shaoyan sneered.
"Well, not bad." Zhang Wanli said calmly, "I just entered the house and sat down to eat, and you called me."
"Director Zhang, eat slowly. I wish you a happy new year and good health." Qin Shaoyan said solemnly.
"Happy New Year to you too." Zhang Wanli paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "I heard that your campus network organized some kind of international college summer camp activity."
Qin Shaoyan was stunned. Come on, why did Zhang Wanli ask about this?
What does he mean by suddenly mentioning this?
Could you also want to get involved?
"That's what happened." Qin Shaoyan said carefully, "Director Zhang, what instructions do you have."
"What instructions can I give?" Zhang Wanli laughed, "You are quite capable of doing things. Ah."
"I didn't know about the international college student summer camp at first, but someone mentioned it to me."
Qin Shaoyan asked cautiously: "Director Zhang, I am here. There are five internal recommendation quotas, do you need to reserve one?"
Zhang Wanli was a little stunned, then he smiled and said, "What? You think I asked you for a quota?"
"Keep it for yourself, it's no use to me."
Qin Shaoyan was stunned by this answer. It sounded like Zhang Wanli had no idea about the matter.
Zhang Wanli pondered for two seconds, "Let me say something more, please take it easy on this matter."
"Well, I will pay attention." Qin Shaoyan said sincerely, " Thank you, Brother Zhang.”
