Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 219 Cousin Cousin
Wu Keqing's two roommates and senior had just heard the restaurant manager call her "Little Miss Keqing".

This kind of affectionate address must be from an acquaintance.

Senior Qin Yang asked curiously, "Does my junior sister often come here to eat?"

Liu Lili and Zhong Ling had the same reaction.

Isn't it said that it's difficult to find a location here?

Wu Keqing introduced generously: "Beicheng Restaurant is opened by my brother."

She didn't play those tricks of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, and didn't create a persona of "hidden daughter" for herself in front of her roommates.

Both roommates knew that her family was well-off. When she was in school, she was very generous to them and often shared her good things.

But the three of them still looked very shocked.

It gives people the feeling of a familiar person appearing on TV.

Liu Lili said: "Qingqing, I haven't heard you say that your family is in the catering business before. Isn't your family engaged in the wholesale of non-staple food?

Just started last year?"

Wu Keqing sat down and said with a smile, "It's my cousin. He just started working in the catering industry last year."

For some reason, she wanted to laugh when the word "cousin" came out of her mouth.

"Is your cousin the owner of Beicheng Hotel?" Qin Yang confirmed to Wu Keqing again.

"Yes, the name of Beicheng Hotel is taken from his name. The word Beicheng is included in his name." Wu Keqing said.

"The one who took a photo with the Fairy Sister?" Qin Yang still looked incredulous.

He is a fan of Liu Yifei and often follows her updates. He knows that Liu Yifei has promoted Beicheng Hotel on Weibo.

Just a few days ago, Liu Yifei watched a show with that young man, the owner of Beicheng Hotel!

Several celebrities posted photos with him on Weibo.

Zhong Ling was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "I remember it too. A few days ago on Weibo..."

"Yes, yes, yes...it's that amateur!" Liu Lili said excitedly, "I even sent it to Zhong Ling, the amateur who took a photo with Wang Jiaer."

Zhong Ling smiled and nodded: "Lily said he was very handsome."

"Oh my god! Qingqing, he's actually your cousin!" Liu Lili was surprised again, "Does your cousin have so many friends in the entertainment industry?"

Zhong Ling joked, "This is why Qingqing resigned!

We lost at the start."

Liu Lili nodded repeatedly: "When I was studying for my master's degree, every time I saw Qingqing buying those big-name skincare products, I was very envious.

For a while, I even had a bit of a hatred towards the rich.

I don't really like kids from rich families like you.

But Qingqing is so generous that she shares her food, drinks and fun with Zhong Ling and me.

As the old saying goes, one should be grateful for what one has received, and one should be soft-hearted when receiving something from someone else. I feel embarrassed to be hostile to the rich anymore.

Hahaha. "

Wu Keqing pretended to be angry and said, "Lily, you are such a person. You hide it too deeply."

"I was wrong, Qingqing, no, Sister Qing, my dear Sister Qing, I hope Sister Qing will continue to take care of me in the future." Liu Lili quickly coaxed.

"That's pretty good." Wu Keqing smiled proudly.

Qin Yang seized the opportunity to ask with concern, "Are you planning to go back and inherit the family business?"

Wu Keqing shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet."

Zhong Ling gave him a look and said, "I just jumped out of the herd of cattle and horses. You're really spoiling the fun by saying this."

"It's my fault, hahaha. I'll use tea instead of wine to apologize to my junior." Qin Yang said with a smile.

He came out two years earlier than his three schoolmates, integrated into society earlier and became more sophisticated.

In the past, my attention was all on Zhong Ling, and I didn’t know much about Wu Keqing. I didn’t know that her family was so good.

When she was in school, she rarely dressed up. She was a girl with a casual personality, often wearing sports casual clothes and had short hair. She was not as attractive as a quiet girl with long hair like Zhong Ling.

I didn't expect that after entering society, I could become so beautiful by paying proper attention to my outfit and makeup.

Ultimately, it’s money that supports people.

When she needs to, when she wants to show off her appearance, she can achieve the effect by spending some money.

There is a truth in the saying that clothes make the man and saddles make the horse.

Wu Keqing's family is so well-off and she is also my junior, so it would be beneficial for me to have a good relationship with her.

Wu Keqing did not notice Qin Yang's little thoughts. On the one hand, when they were in the student union, Qin Yang was the vice president and took good care of them.

On the other hand, he has been pursuing Zhong Ling for two or three years, and his mind is completely on Zhong Ling.

Otherwise, she and Liu Lili would not have followed Zhong Ling all the way here to have dinner today.

"I should thank you for your concern, senior." Wu Keqing said with a smile as he picked up the teacup.

She had been working in the bank for more than half a year, and her brother Beicheng taught her a lot of social skills, which she used with ease.

"Would you like a drink?" Liu Lili gave Wu Keqing a look. "What did you say this afternoon?"

Zhong Ling blushed instantly.

In the afternoon, the two roommates said in the group that they would send her and Qin Yang to the bridal chamber tonight.

Qin Yang looked at Zhong Ling and asked, "Can I have something to drink?"

Zhong Ling shook her head: "Let's not drink anymore. The prices here are so high, the wine must be very expensive."

It's what I really think.

But I really don’t want to have those bridal chamber-related incidents because of drinking.

Declined.

Qin Yang must behave like a gentleman in front of girls. He didn't force it, otherwise people would suspect that you have ulterior motives.

"Junior, would you like to order two more dishes?" Qin Yang handed the menu to Wu Keqing.

Liu Lili reminded: "What's going on? Pay more attention to the person next to you!"

Zhong Ling waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'm fine with it."

She didn't think that the senior's behavior was inappropriate. Today, the two roommates were the guests, and even if she was treating them, she would take care of the guests first.

This kind of thinking actually means standing with Qin Yang.

I'm slowly accepting him in my heart.

"Little princess, do you want to order anything else?" the waiter called with a smile.

The waiters in the store all call her the little princess.

She was very curious at first, and asked the waiter the reason when she came to eat.

The waiter said she was the boss's sister and was very beautiful, so she was called the little princess.

Honestly, it was fun to listen to.

"I also hope someone will call me little princess." Liu Lili said.

"Princess Lily, this is for you." Wu Keqing handed the menu to her directly.

Liu Lili smiled and asked Qin Yang, "Senior, would you like something casual?"

Qin Yang smiled and nodded.

You can't be timid in such occasions. For a man, face is very important when he is out.

Liu Lili ordered two more dishes, which were not very expensive, just a few hundred yuan, and handed the menu to the waiter.

Drink tea, eat appetizers and chat.

Qin Yang curiously asked Wu Keqing, "Does my junior know the former Vice President of your bank, Hailin?"

Wu Keqing nodded: "Because of President Hai's matter, I was questioned by the Bank Supervision Department."

"Is it so serious? It hasn't been dealt with, right?" Liu Lili asked with concern.

"No, many people who had connections with President Hai were questioned. It was just a formality. President Hai is fine, isn't he? He just resigned from the bank."

Qin Yang said: “President Hailin is now in our line of work.

But he is a private equity investor, and we are a public equity investor.”

Wu Keqing continued, "I know that Li'an Capital was founded by my brother and President Hailin.

The Jiang and Hai families have known each other for generations, and my grandfather went to the countryside together, so he knew about it." "Lian Capital is also your brother's business?" Qin Yang said, gazing at Wu Keqing with wide eyes.

The biggest news in Jiangnan City's investment banking industry at the beginning of this year is Lian Capital.

One reason is that Hailin started his own business. He has been in the financial circle of Jiangnan City for 20 to 30 years and is quite famous. Many founding partners of investment banks gave him face and went to congratulate him in person.

Second, Lian Capital was favored by the market, absorbed a lot of idle social funds, and also obtained investment from some powerful investors.

The scale of funds under management has grown extremely fast.

If there are no problems in investment direction and decision-making, Lian Capital will rise rapidly.

As an insider, Qin Yang had heard some rumors that there was a partner behind Lian Capital who was more powerful than Hai Lin.

Could this person be my junior’s cousin?

Putting aside the fact that the North City Hotel belongs to him, he must be a very capable person to be in the entertainment industry and respected by celebrities.

Why didn’t you get to know your junior Wu Keqing earlier?
This is a real thigh.

Wu Keqing nodded to Qin Yang: "Anyway, that's what my brother told me.

I never asked about his affairs, all I know is what he told me."

Qin Yang suggested with a smile: "Junior sister, you can go to investment banking, go to Li An Capital, and continue to work under your president Hai Lin.

Your brother is still a partner. If I were you, I would definitely seize this opportunity."

This is what he thinks.

Lian Capital is currently in a period of rapid development and is short of talent.

If I hadn't been so inexperienced, I would have switched to Lian Capital long ago.

The treatment of private equity is much better than that of public equity.

He now hopes to cling to the thigh of the junior schoolmate.

"What's wrong with you today?" Zhong Ling felt uncomfortable and reminded Qin Yang.

I kept chasing Wu Keqing to talk about work and career, but she had no idea about that at all.

Very rude.

"I'm serious, junior, the returns from joining the startup company Lian Capital now are extremely high." Qin Yang ignored Zhong Ling's reminder.

Zhong Ling's face darkened.

"Let's eat. Let's not talk about this today, senior. Let's just talk about you and Zhong Ling." Wu Keqing noticed his roommate's expression and interrupted.

"Okay, let's eat. Don't be polite to me." Qin Yang said with a generous smile.

Then he came back to pick up some food for Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling accepted it politely, but she didn't have much of an appetite. She just didn't want to spoil her roommate's fun, so she ate a little to get by.

The atmosphere at the dinner table started to get a little strange.

They talked less to each other.

Wu Keqing got up and went to the bathroom.

"I'll go over and take a look. I can't let my junior pay the bill." Qin Yang said to Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling nodded. She also guessed that Wu Keqing went to pay the bill.

Qin Yang pretended to have finished using the restroom, washed his hands at the bathroom door, and waited for Wu Keqing to come out.

"School girl!"

"Senior Brother." Wu Keqing called out politely and prepared to pay the bill.

Qin Yang suddenly called her, "Junior, I'd like you to help me analyze this."

Wu Keqing looked at Qin Yang in confusion.

Qin Yang looked distressed, "I don't know whether I should continue pursuing Lingling?"

Wu Keqing frowned instantly.

"When I was in school, I pursued her, and she said she wasn't sure if she could stay in Jiangnan City after graduation.
She started working and I confessed my love to her. She said she wanted to focus on her career first, make money to buy a house and settle down in Jiangnan City.

I worked hard to buy a house and confessed my feelings to her, but her responses were always vague. I asked her out many times, but she always said she was working overtime. This time, she brought you along.

Of course, Senior Brother doesn’t mean to dislike you, I always feel that she is…”

Wu Keqing was completely dumbfounded.

WTF.

Why are you telling me this?
Qin Yang paused for a moment, then uttered those rather unpleasant words, "I feel like she's been keeping me hanging, and I can't keep up with her anymore.

I don’t know what to do?”

"What did you say?" Wu Keqing was shocked. "Senior, are you pretending to be affectionate or just being pretentious?"

Based on her understanding of her roommate Zhong Ling, she is not that kind of person at all. How could she keep you hanging for three years?

What did you get from this?
People are just insecure and timid about emotions.

She is such a hard-working and innocent girl, yet you say this to me.

You haven't really gotten to know her, have you? And you're still saying you've been pursuing her for two or three years with no results.

Among the three of them, she was the bravest one. She threw herself into Brother Beicheng's arms and ate the forbidden fruit.

Liu Lili has always felt inferior because of her appearance and doesn't want to get involved in any emotional relationships.

Zhong Ling is still a virgin, okay? You say she's keeping you hooked?
What Wu Keqing couldn't stand the most was that you, a grown man, pursued a woman, failed, and felt so wronged, and performed a passionate drama here.

Is it disgusting?

Qin Yang stared at Wu Keqing with wide eyes, shocked by her reaction.

This was not the Wu Keqing he knew in college.

I originally thought that by saying these words I could gain Wu Keqing's sympathy and establish a good image in her eyes.

Unexpectedly, Wu Keqing directly called him pretentious.

My junior sister has changed a lot in the past six months since she entered society.

No empathy anymore?
Qin Yang realized that he had made things worse and quickly tried to smooth things over, "My schoolmate was right to remind me. I was indeed a bit hypocritical."

Wu Keqing was speechless and shook his head.

"Are you still dancing now, Junior? I remember you danced classically at the student union's welcome party, and you were really good at it.

The Jiangnan Grand Theater is having a touring performance of the dance drama "Only Green" next weekend. "Is my junior sister interested?" Qin Yang changed his approach and praised Wu Keqing, starting with her hobbies.

Wu Keqing stopped and looked back at Qin Yang, "Brother Qin, what do you want to say?"

Qin Yang smiled and said, "It's nothing, actually. I just happened to have some tickets and wanted to treat you..."

"Please ask your mother to go!"

Wu Keqing blurted out.

The last time I cursed someone was when my boss took me to KTV for a social event while I was working at a bank.

I haven't lost my temper for a long time.

Brother Beicheng doesn't like negative emotions.

But you, senior, are so disgusting. Zhong Ling is still outside.

On the one hand, he was acting affectionately and trying to sleep with a virgin, and on the other hand, he was trying to take shortcuts to please me.

I am not one of those innocent little white flowers. Compared with Brother Beicheng, your level is too low.

Fortunately, Zhong Ling didn’t agree, otherwise she would have been bullied to death by you.

I guess he has coaxed a lot of girls in the past two or three years, and when he feels lonely, he thinks of Zhong Ling.

Why don’t you take a piss and look in the mirror to see if you have the ability?

Qin Yang was stunned by the scolding.

The pestle stayed there for a while.

When I came to my senses, I quickly chased after him, because something bad was going to happen.

"Lily, Lingling, let's go!" Wu Keqing turned around and said to Qin Yang, "Today's meal is split. We don't owe you anything. I'll pay for Lily and Lingling's portions, and you can pay for yours yourself."

Looking at the store manager, Manager Luo, "Manager Luo, is this okay?"

"Of course, little beautiful Keqing."
