Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 367 Zhang Yiming's Attempt to Poach Someone

After listening to Zhang Chaoyang's words, Guo Fansheng from Huicong Company said sourly, "President Zhang, are you envious? If you are, you can also find a girlfriend who is a computer genius. Among our group, you are the only eligible bachelor."

Zhang Chaoyang shook his head and said, "Forget it, why would I raise pigs if I want to eat pork? You guys can't understand the joy of being single."

“If Ding Sanpang heard you say that, he would definitely refute you. I heard that Ding Sanpang has set up a small pig farm in his hometown to provide healthy pork for their NetEase canteen,” Li Yanhong finally spoke.

Of all the talents recruited in this talent acquisition program, only Robin Li did not participate in the competition.

The reason is simple: he has an image to maintain.

As the only person in the internet industry with good looks, he can't act like a stray dog ​​trying to steal food.

He couldn't help but laugh as he watched this bunch of oddballs putting on all sorts of farces to snatch people away.

Talent?

It's fine if it's not there.

Li Yanhong straightened his sharp suit, making him stand out from the crowd.

Internet companies in China are all makeshift operations; any shady character or incompetent person can sneak in and try to make a living.

Looking at the young programmer geniuses who didn't dare to cross the isolation zone, Li Yanhong sighed inwardly. He thought, "Let's talk about it another time. It's just that our time together hasn't come yet."

He didn't want to be stuck here with these ugly internet guys anymore. He thought he would come alone, surrounded by a group of young programmers asking him for entrepreneurial experience and handing him their resumes...

Unexpectedly, all these oddballs showed up and blocked the corridor, like a group of burly men surrounding a pretty young girl.

Next work!

True strength is nothing like these people.

For example, Kingsoft didn't send anyone over. That's the confidence of IT Huangpu!
Seeing Zhang Chaoyang and the others start discussing the feasibility of pig farming again, Li Yanhong didn't bother to say anything more and simply walked into the elevator.

"Was this exam difficult?" At this moment, Cheng Yi also left the Jin Mao Tower with Lin Qingyin.

Lin Qingyin thought for a while and said, "Yes, there are many difficult questions. I probably didn't do very well on this test."

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "If you think you did just okay on the test, you'll definitely get a good score."

"Why?" Lin Qingyin looked at Cheng Yi with a puzzled expression.

Cheng Yi said, "If you think the questions are difficult, it means you understand them. Those who think the questions are very easy often do terribly on the test."

"Is that so?" Lin Qingyin didn't quite understand the ins and outs of it.

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "You can ask Fatty about that. Back in high school, Fatty always thought the exams were easy, and he was always at the bottom of the class when the results came out."

"What do you want to eat?" Cheng Yi was about to ask Lin Qingyin what she wanted to eat when he heard a young voice calling from behind: "Lin Qingyin!"

Cheng Yi turned around and saw a dull-looking young man running towards him.

The young man was short, wore gold-rimmed glasses, had small eyes, and thin lips. He ran down the steps while shouting.

"Hmm?" Cheng Yi raised an eyebrow as he looked at the young man.

The young man quickly ran to Lin Qingyin's side. Looking at her, he said breathlessly, "Lin, can we exchange contact information?"

Lin Qingyin looked at the young man with a puzzled expression and asked, "Who are you?"

The young man said somewhat dejectedly, "We've been in the same exam room for three consecutive sessions. I was sitting to your right. Don't you remember me?"

Lin Qingyin shook her head.

She never looks at what anyone looks like, and she doesn't even dare to look at the people around her, because she is afraid of the awkward moment of eye contact.

The young man took out his phone and said, "My name is Zhang Yiming, and I'm a freshman at Nanping University. I asked around and found out you're also a freshman, right? Can we exchange contact information?"

Lin Qingyin was startled by this sudden turn of events. She shrank back towards Cheng Yi and did not respond to the young man.

"???" At this moment, Cheng Yi felt completely numb.

This guy is shameless! Doesn't he see that a handsome guy is standing next to Lin Qingyin?
Zhang Yiming finally spotted Cheng Yi. He smiled at Cheng Yi and said, "Hello, you must be Lin Qingyin's brother? My name is Zhang Yiming."

Zhang Yiming reached out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi didn't reach out to shake her hand. Instead, he gently put his arm around Lin Qingyin's waist, a mischievous smile on his face, and said, "I'm Lin Qingyin's good brother."

Upon seeing Cheng Yi embrace Lin Qingyin, Zhang Yiming's expression changed slightly.

Wait a minute, Lin Qingyin is a member of the gifted youth class, just like him. Aren't members of the gifted youth class strictly prohibited from dating?

He had asked his mentor to review the contestants' resumes and also learned about Lin Qingyin's family background.

He thought Cheng Yi was Lin Qingyin's brother, Lin Qingquan, but he never expected that Cheng Yi was actually Lin Qingyin's boyfriend.

At this moment, Zhang Yiming was also a little at a loss.

Although his guess was simply wrong, Cheng Yi felt that the kid was just provoking him.

This truly represents both old and new grudges.

In his past life, this kid had collected a lot of data traffic fees from him; 30% of their group's profits were taken by this bastard.

The person in front of you is Zhang Yiming, the founder of ByteDance, who will control the entire internet in the future.

Cheng Yi looked at Zhang Yiming and asked in a deep voice, "Are you from Nanping University?"

"Ah, yes." Zhang Yiming quickly replied.

Cheng Yi sized up Zhang Yiming and snorted, "You look like a respectable guy, how could you do something like harassing someone else's girlfriend? Did you learn that at Nanping University?"

Cheng Yi came up and flattered Zhang Yiming, which startled Zhang Yiming. He quickly said, "I'm sorry, I thought you were Lin's brother because you were dressed so formally."

Cheng Yi straightened his sharp suit and said, "Does wearing a suit automatically make you a senior? I'm a freshman too. Is there a problem with me styling my hair like an adult?"

"Yes, I'm sorry," Zhang Yiming quickly apologized.

Cheng Yi narrowed his eyes and asked very seriously, "Also, how do you know that Lin Qingyin has an older brother? Did you investigate Lin Qingyin?"

Zhang Yiming stammered, "No, no, I did look at Lin Qingyin's application form."

"How did you get a look at Lin Qingyin's application form?" Cheng Yi pressed.

As a member of the gifted youth program at Nanping University, Zhang Yiming had never experienced anything like this before. He broke out in a cold sweat and told the truth: "I asked my tutor to help me find out."

"Well, so this really is a unique feature of your Nanping University." Cheng Yi snorted. "How do you plan to handle this?" "I... I can compensate you." Zhang Yiming reached into his pocket and pulled out a large wad of cash.

He's still a little rich kid.

"I'm not short of money." Cheng Yi tugged at his sleeve, revealing the Armani logo on it.

The moment the logo was revealed, his nouveau riche aura immediately became apparent.

Upon seeing Cheng Yi's Armani logo, Zhang Yiming couldn't help but glance at Lin Qingyin with some disappointment.

In his eyes, Lin Qingyin had become the kind of vain girl.

But then he thought, isn't it normal for girls to like rich men? Does it have to be like those novels written by poor scholars in ancient times, where a young lady from a wealthy family has to fall in love with a poor scholar?
Zhang Yiming held the wad of money, unsure of what to do.

Seeing Zhang Yiming's bewildered expression, Cheng Yi felt incredibly pleased.

Others simply couldn't comprehend this self-indulgent thrill, including Lin Qingyin, who was standing next to him. She also couldn't understand why Cheng Yi had such a strong reaction, since Cheng Yi was usually very easy to talk to.

She was unaware that this involved grudges from a past life.

In his previous life, Cheng Yi wasn't even qualified to sit at the same table as Zhang Yiming's secretary. Their rogue software group seemed huge, but in Zhang Yiming's eyes, they were nothing more than chickens and dogs, and he could send them all begging on the streets with the flick of his finger.

It can be said that nearly 80% of internet companies live off Zhang Yiming's influence.

There's a saying in the industry that Zhang Yiming is the emperor of the ideological field. His algorithms can even accurately predict which club you're going to visit and which girl you're going to see tonight.

Even the former founder of New Oriental has fallen on hard times, reduced to making a living by having a group of teachers pose and perform on his platform.

It wasn't just the founder of New Oriental; almost all the big names in the internet industry were in the same boat, all of them falling into the food trough set up by Zhang Yiming and becoming internet celebrities.

And now, Zhang Yiming is apologizing to himself non-stop. Isn't that much more satisfying than making a few small goals?
Cheng Yi raised his hand and pressed down on Zhang Yiming's shoulder, saying, "You probably don't want your teachers and classmates to know about this, right?"

"No, I don't want to." Zhang Yiming looked at Cheng Yi with some fear.

The fear in his eyes gave Cheng Yi an even greater sense of satisfaction.

"Give me the phone number," Cheng Yi instructed.

Zhang Yiming immediately read out the phone number.

Cheng Yi entered Zhang Yiming's phone number into his contacts and said, "If you don't want your teachers and classmates to know, you'd better behave and wait for my call."

"Okay." Zhang Yiming was genuinely scared.

If this gets back to the school, will he even be able to live?
Upon seeing Cheng Yi wave, Zhang Yiming turned and ran.

Watching Zhang Yiming's retreating figure, Lin Qingyin asked in confusion, "Cheng Yi, do you know him?"

"I don't know him." Cheng Yi shook his head.

As a programmer, Lin Qingyin has a keen eye for observation. She said softly, "But the way you acted just now was terrifying, like you had met someone who made you very angry."

"He dared to harass you in front of me, of course I'm angry." Cheng Yi made up a story on the spot: "You haven't said what you want to eat yet."

"Didn't you just say you wanted to eat barbecue?" Lin Qingyin said with a smile.

"Okay, let's go shopping first. This barbecue place doesn't open until six or seven o'clock," Cheng Yi said with a smile. "We've come all this way to a big city, we should at least buy something to take back, right?"

"Let's go, let's go to Henglong Plaza first." Cheng Yi made a phone call to Lin Yongxing, and he and Lin Qingyin took a car to Henglong Plaza.

As the largest shopping mall in Shanghai, Hang Lung Plaza has attracted many of the world's top brands to open their first flagship stores in China here, thus establishing their status as luxury brands.

In terms of luxury, the Hang Lung Plaza, built in 2001, far surpasses the Jin Mao Tower in both layout and decoration.

However, the latter has too much influence and representative significance.

Lin Yongxing carefully checked the location of Hang Lung Plaza on the Zhonghai City map he had purchased, and then drove there.

Arriving at Hang Lung Plaza, Cheng Yi couldn't help but feel as if he had returned to 2024.

The wealthy people in Zhonghai today dress almost exactly the same way they did in 2024, since the luxury clothes they wear have remained unchanged for twenty years.

“Brother Lin, you don’t need to come with us. The security at Hang Lung Plaza is top-notch in China.” Cheng Yi said with a smile, “Why don’t you go and wander around? After all, this is an international metropolis.”

"I'll wait here." Lin Yongxing smiled憨厚ly, revealing two rows of big white teeth.

Cheng Yi didn't say anything more and walked into Henglong Plaza with Lin Qingyin.

The first floor was filled with gold shops, watch shops, and jewelry stores as always. Looking at the watch shop in the distance, Cheng Yi felt a little sigh.

He remembers clearly that the year he graduated, he and Song Meng went to Henglong Plaza in Jingzhou City for the first time.

I forget who said it, but some grandson of mine said that a boy's first graduation gift should be a watch. So, with a longing for a watch, he walked into the luxury watch store on the left side of Hang Lung Plaza.

That time, he truly understood what the world of the rich was like.

Watches in luxury watch stores often start at tens of thousands of yuan.

Lacking social experience, he worried that leaving directly would make him a laughingstock, so he casually strolled around the store, pretending to be able to afford something but not wanting to buy it. Little did he know that his clothes and demeanor had already betrayed him.

This incident also made Song Meng, who was working with them, laugh at it for a long time.

"Welcome." The six hostesses at the entrance greeted him with great pomp, pulling Cheng Yi back to reality.

The six etiquette staff members all had excellent demeanor. On the left were three tall girls, each 1.7 meters tall, wearing high heels, and they were about the same height as the three handsome boys, each 1.8 meters tall, on the right.

As expected of China Overseas, their tone is spot on.

Lin Qingyin has spent all her holidays in shopping malls since she was a child. She is not at all shy in shopping malls. She looked around at the luxuriously decorated boutiques and said, "This place is so beautiful. It's much more beautiful than my dad's shopping mall."

"Haha, compared to this place, your dad's shopping mall is like a Ferrari compared to a tractor." Cheng Yi chuckled and led Lin Qingyin into a jewelry store.

"Hello." People who can serve as store managers in luxury stores have almost maxed out their eye for talent. As soon as she saw Cheng Yi and Lin Qingyin, she knew that a big order had come.

Although the two men looked young, they were clearly from wealthy families.

Cheng Yi goes without saying; his Armani suit worth tens of thousands of yuan proves everything, and he also has such a beautiful girlfriend by his side.

But Lin Qingyin, with her innocent and adorable expression, is the most important one.

Because poor families can't raise girls with this kind of temperament; after all, children from poor families mature early.
