After rebirth, I only date bad girls

Chapter 361 Rich people have abnormal thought processes, luckily I am one too.
Hangzhou Dianzi University, male dormitory

Liang Can lay on the bed, wearing only his underwear, comfortably playing on his phone.

The sunlight outside the window was dazzling, but the windows and doors were tightly closed. Inside, the air conditioning was slowly cooling the room. Fei Ke and his two friends were playing a game of online gaming, their cursing echoing throughout.

"This is the most pleasant time of university life: no classes, nothing to do, and no money."

Liang Can stretched, lazily got up, and rolled out of bed.

The meeting place I arranged with Qi Shuping today was not in the reception room of a high-end hotel, nor at the headquarters of Qingning Technology, but inside the campus of Hangzhou Dianzi University.

There's no other reason; it's just that I've been eating too much fancy food lately and I've started to miss the soft, tasteless meals in the cafeteria.

Let's also help Lao Qi get rid of some of his excess fat.

Wearing a white t-shirt and trousers, Liang Canqing went out looking refreshed.

Zheng Ting and Tong Zhu, the head of Qingning Technology's investment department, had already met Qi Shuping at the school gate and were heading towards the men's dormitory. Liang Can was waiting directly at the dormitory building entrance.

Not long after standing in the shade of the tree, Liang Can spotted Qi Shuping in the distance.

Old Money was as dashing as ever today, his white shirt tucked into his black trousers, his shoes polished to a shine, and his hair meticulously combed.

"Mr. Liang, it's nice to see you again." Qi Shuping smiled and shook hands with Liang Can.

Liang Can responded with a smile: "President Qi, thank you for your presence. Today, I will show you around my school."

“Great! Apart from sending Mingyue to Zhejiang University for registration not long ago, I haven’t stepped into a university campus in recent years. It’s a good opportunity to feel the vibrancy of youth.”

Qi Shuping laughed heartily, seemingly quite satisfied with Liang Can's arrangement.

At this moment, Zhuang Zhichao also arrived.

"President Qi, this is my tutor, Zhuang Zhichao. He also has another identity."

Chaozi proudly puffed out his chest: "The vice principal of this school is my uncle."

Liang Can rolled her eyes at Zhuang Zhichao and continued, "Your daughter's good friend, Zhuang Chenjin, is my counselor's younger sister."

Qi Shuping then shook hands with Zhuang Zhichao and greeted him: "Hello, Teacher Zhuang. My daughter has been bothering your residence quite a bit lately, hasn't she? I'm sorry for the trouble."

Zhuang Zhichao waved his hand with a hearty laugh: "Mr. Qi, you're too kind. Your daughter is exceptionally beautiful and intelligent. My parents adore her and even said they'd like to introduce her to a boyfriend."

Qi Shuping thought about it and figured that Zhuang Zhichao, coming from a scholarly family, would probably introduce men who would also pursue academic careers, and they might actually be a good match for his daughter.

Thinking of this, Qi Shuping smiled and said, "That's great. If there's a suitable one, you can definitely introduce her to my daughter."

Zhuang Zhichao blurted out, "Isn't there one right in front of us, Liang Can!"

Qi Shuping: "?"

Liang Can looked at Zhuang Zhichao in surprise, thinking to herself, "My counselor can't possibly be this cute."

Zhuang Zhichao was incredibly enthusiastic: "President Qi, our Liang Can is the most outstanding college student in the entire school, and even in the whole of Hangzhou. He and your daughter are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Why not create some opportunities for the two of them to spend time alone? Maybe it will lead to a beautiful romance!"

Liang Can quickly intervened, saying, "My respected counselor, my goodness, how could you say such a thing?"

"I speak from the bottom of my heart."

"Say more, I love to hear it."

"."

Qi Shuping chuckled dryly a few times: "Little Liang, don't joke around. It's not like I haven't introduced Mingyue to you before, but it seems like you two don't hit it off."

Liang Can thought to himself that times change, and one's opinion of a person can change as one gets to know them better.

If Qi Mingyue insists on communicating with him now, Liang Can is still willing to give her a chance.

'Hehe, I'm really just an ordinary guy,' Liang Can thought to himself.

"Mr. Qi, let's take a walk and talk as we go." Liang Can gestured for them to proceed.

"Okay."

The two strolled slowly side by side on campus, with Zheng Ting and Tong Zhu following behind.

With his hands behind his back, Qi Shuping smiled and said, "Young Mr. Liang, you've been driving me crazy lately."

Liang Can looked surprised: "Why do you say that, Mr. Qi?"

Qi Shuping smiled and said, "Actually, ever since I got to know you, I've had a strong desire to invest in you. For investors like us, it's less about investing in a project and more about investing in the person who's running it."

These are truly heartfelt words.

Liang Can nodded in agreement, then said with a smile, "President Qi's evaluation of me is too high. I really don't deserve it. But since President Qi knows that he is investing in people rather than projects, why did he keep worrying about control of the investment projects before?"

Qi Shuping glanced at Liang Can, a forced smile on his face: "I'm putting you to the test."

"Don't dare."

Qi Shuping said slowly, "Young Mr. Liang, I am an older man and I am used to leaving room for maneuver in my words and deeds, but you are young and energetic and talented, so you are more unrestrained in doing things, which caught me off guard."

“If they have a problem with me, they immediately find other investment institutions, so fast that they don’t even give me time to react.”

"Excellent! Excellent!"

As they talked, they arrived in front of a teaching building. Qi Shuping pointed to the building and said, "This building looks a bit old."

Liang Can also stopped in his tracks: "It's alright, the exterior is a bit old, but the interior is not bad."

Qi Shuping: "With Mr. Liang's current status and financial resources, there is no need for him to make himself suffer like this. If it were me, I would donate money to the school to improve my learning environment."

Those rich bastards, always donating money and buildings to show off how capable they are.

Liang Can felt that these rich people thought differently from normal people, and what they said sounded like a joke.

Fortunately, Liang Can is now considered a wealthy man, neither too rich nor too poor.

So Liang Can said calmly, "Forget it. A harsh living environment can temper one's will. If it really doesn't work, I'll open my own university in a while and then upgrade the facilities."

Qi Shuping: "."

Trying to show off to me? You're overestimating yourself.

Qi Shuping originally just wanted to crack a joke, lighten the mood, and prevent the conversation from becoming too tense.

But to everyone's surprise, Liang Can seized the opportunity and actually managed to outmaneuver him.

"So, Mr. Liang, I came to the school specifically to see you today."

Qi Shuping returned to the main topic and said to Liang Can, "I missed out on Qingning APP and Pinpinduoduo. As it turns out, I missed out on two incredibly excellent projects. But then I thought about it again, and if it were my Dahui Capital that invested in these two e-commerce platforms, there would definitely be no investment from Tencent Technology. We could have done even better."

There is no doubt that Tencent's support for traffic allocation is unparalleled across the entire internet.

Liang Can smiled and said, "This is called, 'Everything is the best arrangement.'"

"Yes, everything happens for a reason."

Qi Shuping looked at Liang Can: "So I don't want to miss out on the short video platform you're preparing."

Liang Can shrugged and said with a smile, "President Qi, I don't have much confidence that I can replicate the success of Qingning and Pinpinduoduo."

"But anything is possible with human effort, and you are the key person."

Qi Shuping stared at Liang Can and continued to present his conditions: "Regarding the management authority that you have been criticizing, I have persuaded the board of directors to make the greatest possible concessions, which are written into the contract and have legal effect. Our principle is that we will relinquish control in the same way that Tencent relinquishes control."

Awesome!
In fact, Liang Can could have chosen to cooperate with Shunwei Capital right now. But, to be honest, it's not the best time yet.

Once the short video platform is officially launched and the market takes off, we can then partner with Shunwei Capital and launch a massive marketing campaign to maximize profits.

Therefore, at this point in time, Qi Shuping is Liang Can's best choice.

Seeing that Liang Can remained silent, Qi Shuping smiled and said, "I am eager, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Qi Mingyue to pave the way for me yesterday. Mingyue has a lot of opinions about me because of this matter."

"Is that so?" Liang Can said calmly, "Perhaps there's a problem with how you communicate with your daughter. Anyway, I had a good conversation with Qi Mingyue yesterday."

“This is the most unexpected thing for me,” Qi Shuping said. “She did it for me, her father.”

Stop being narcissistic, she did it for her best friend.

Liang Can smiled but said nothing.

Qi Shuping sighed: "On the way here, I called Mingyue and asked her to come over for a meal, but she declined."

"It seems that Mingyue's patience with me has reached its limit."

Seeing that Mr. Qi was indeed a little disappointed, Liang Can patted him on the shoulder insincerely and comforted him, "Mr. Qi, young people can't always understand their parents' good intentions."

"Mingyue doesn't want to come, it must be because of you, but don't be too sad, she'll understand you in the future," Liang Can shamelessly continued.

Qi Shuping was unaware that his daughter's reluctance to appear stemmed from her kissing Liang Can.

If they knew, they would at least call Liang Can shameless and unworthy of being human.

"I hope so," Qi Shuping sighed.

At this moment, Zheng Ting received a phone call, jogged over to Liang Can's side, and whispered in his ear, "President Liang, Ms. Qi Mingyue, the daughter of President Qi, who came to the company to see you yesterday, said she is at the gate of our school. See if you can tell her where you and President Qi are now so she can come and find you."

Oh?
Qi Mingyue actually came to us of her own accord.

Liang Can nodded slightly, then looked at Qi Shuping and said with a smile, "Mr. Qi, Qi Mingyue is at the school gate now. Should I send someone to pick her up?"

Qi Shuping was taken aback: "Didn't Mingyue say she wasn't coming?"

Liang Can pondered for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "I really can't bear to see you and your daughter grow apart. Actually, I had a deep heart-to-heart talk with Qi Mingyue yesterday, and I'm sure she understands your good intentions, Mr. Qi. So today, she's using this method to express her understanding of you."

"Xiao Liang, you..."

Qi Shuping was deeply moved: "How did you do that?"

"It's nothing, nothing at all," Liang Can said modestly. "It's probably just a resonance between people of the same age. Anyway, President Qi, we're friends despite the age difference, so I'm happy to help with this little thing."

Liang Can sometimes feels like he's really a dog.

He claimed all the credit, and inexplicably made Qi Shuping owe him a favor.

"Then let Mingyue come over quickly!" Qi Shuping said happily.

"Okay, I'll have Zheng Ting pick him up." After saying that, Liang Can winked at Zheng Ting.

Liang Can and Qi Shuping went to the cafeteria first. The restaurant had private rooms, and the food was actually quite good.

After sitting down, Liang Can tore off the plastic film from the tableware, rinsed it with boiling water, and pondered.

Qi Mingyue's sudden arrival certainly didn't mean she understood Qi Shuping's good intentions, as she had claimed.

Furthermore, she had just kissed herself yesterday and was feeling shy, so logically, Qi Mingyue shouldn't have appeared.

This is the main reason why Qi Mingyue is unwilling to show her face; Qi Shuping is secondary.

Could it be that Tanuki was praising itself in front of her again?

Or perhaps, the box of nougat that you made yourself also played a crucial role.

Whatever the reason, Qi Mingyue's arrival was beyond Liang Can's expectations.

This shows that this straightforward and slightly arrogant person has a very strong mental fortitude.

Not long after, Qi Mingyue, accompanied by Zheng Ting, entered the private room. Upon seeing her, Liang Can's eyes lit up.

She wore a white camisole as a base layer, topped with a light blue knitted cardigan, and a white long skirt. Her whole look was fresh and refined, dispelling any aloofness or haughtiness and adding a touch of youthful vibrancy.

"The bright moon has arrived, welcome, welcome."

Liang Can immediately stood up and escorted Qi Mingyue to Qi Shuping's side, smiling as he said, "President Qi has been waiting for you for a long time. Before he knew you wanted her, he kept talking about it."

As he spoke, Liang Can placed his hand on Qi Mingyue's back and gently pushed her towards him.

He's so polite; it's hard to believe he was just forcibly kissed yesterday.

Qi Shuping looked at Liang Can gratefully, thinking to himself that this young man was truly loyal and even knew to speak well of him.

Everyone has a weakness.

As parents, our weakness is our children.

Qi Shuping is a big shot in the investment world. He may have some problems and biases in his parenting methods, but he never thought he would have a conflict with his daughter.

Otherwise, Qi Shuping wouldn't have spoken those heart-to-heart words with Qi Mingyue on the way back.

After Qi Mingyue sat down, she looked at Liang Can and asked, "Lili hasn't come looking for you, has she?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Shuping felt guilty again.

Without hesitation, Liang Can said directly, "Lili did mention this to me on WeChat, but I told her the truth: you have already talked to me, and the conversation went very smoothly."

Qi Mingyue nodded silently, without giving it much thought.

As Lili said, she didn't go to Liang Can, and both sides have confirmed it, so there's no problem.

Since Lili wasn't taken advantage of by Liang Can because of her family's affairs, losing her first kiss yesterday wasn't a complete loss.

Qi Mingyue naturally wanted to sit next to Qi Shuping. If she got too close to Liang Can, she would feel very uncomfortable and embarrassed.

However, in Qi Shuping's eyes, Qi Mingyue taking the initiative to sit next to him was the result of Liang Can's conversation with her.

'This Liang fellow still retains the heart of a child,' Qi Shuping thought to himself.

As for why Qi Mingyue came today, she actually knew the answer in her heart. One reason was because of Qi Shuping's feelings while in the car.

On the other hand, Liang Can's nougat is delicious.

It was this seemingly strange reason that prompted Qi Mingyue to come here.

"Let's start eating then, keep it simple."

Qi Shuping picked up his rice bowl, first placing a piece of beef into Qi Mingyue's bowl, and said kindly, "Eat more, I see you've lost weight recently."

"Thank you dad."

Qi Mingyue also picked up her rice bowl, looked at the two of them, and asked, "How did your talk go?"

Liang Can and Qi Shuping exchanged a glance and then spoke.

"The talks went very well."

Everyone felt that this was Liang Can's achievement.
