Chapter 44 Li Qingning from Shanghai

The flight from Chongqing to Shanghai takes just over two hours.

The time wasn't long; I just took a nap and it was over.

However, neither Jiang Xun nor Yang Huimin actually fell asleep, even though Jiang Xun let go of her hand not long after they set off.

After all, the two of them boarded the plane hand in hand and flew to Shanghai, thousands of miles away, where they would stay for two or three days before returning.

Especially given their unique identities, there's a certain tension, or rather... excitement.

This feeling persisted until we arrived in Shanghai, when it gradually faded away.

As the plane slowly descended, the outline of Shanghai gradually became clear in the afternoon sunlight outside the window.

The clouds, like wisps of cotton, were tinged with golden pink by the sunlight. As they gradually thinned, they revealed the crisscrossing streets and tall buildings below.

The Huangpu River meanders like a ribbon, dividing the city, with skyscrapers lining both banks.

The Oriental Pearl Tower stands majestically, facing the Shanghai World Financial Center across the distance.

The plane continued to descend, flying over neat residential areas where red-roofed, white-walled villas intermingled with gray-blue high-rise apartments.

As the plane landed, the pulse of this major Eastern metropolis seemed to instantly become vivid and tangible.

This is Jiang Xun's first time visiting Shanghai, whether in his past or present life, while Yang Huimin has only been here once, three years ago.

So they were all relatively unfamiliar with the city, but fortunately Yang Huimin had a classmate here who would come to pick them up from the airport.

Qidian (the airport management company) definitely won't send anyone to pick him up from the airport. Jiang Xun doesn't have that privilege yet; they'll only reimburse his round-trip airfare and hotel accommodation.

"Remember, don't be disrespectful later, call her 'sister'." Yang Huimin and Jiang Xun walked side by side to the exit, and the former gave her a word of advice.

"Okay, my dear cousin," Jiang Xun replied casually while responding to the message from the person in charge at Qidian.

"You're getting impatient, aren't you!" Yang Huimin immediately became displeased and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on Jiang Xun's waist.

This guy, as soon as he got off the plane, he was so engrossed in his phone that he didn't even bother to talk to me. He must be texting some girl from school.

Jiang Xun cried out that he was wronged. He had only replied to the message from the person in charge of Qidian. He hadn't had time to reply to Yang Kaiyi, Chen Shixuan, and the others yet.

"Minmin!" A clear voice suddenly came from afar, and Jiang Xun and Yang Huimin turned their heads at the same time.

Before them stood a woman in a white shirt and black pencil skirt, dressed in a business suit.

This woman looked to be about the same age as Yang Huimin, but she exuded a clean and efficient aura, full of the air of an urban elite.

She was also very beautiful, with an oval face, cherry lips, willow-leaf eyebrows, almond eyes, and a swan neck.

She has fair skin, a beautiful face, long legs, and a stunningly large bust; her white shirt is barely able to support it.

Upon seeing the other person, Yang Huimin quickly went up to hug her, resulting in a fierce and evenly matched physical encounter.

"Qingning, you're so busy, you didn't need to come to pick me up at the airport. We could have just gone to the hotel," Yang Huimin said somewhat apologetically.

"You've come all this way, I have to come pick you up no matter how busy I am," the woman called Qing Ning said with a slight smile, her voice clear and crisp.

Jiang Xun's first impression of this woman was that she was very capable, a typical strong woman, and not just any strong woman.

She must be quite wealthy; even without any jewelry, she exudes an air of worldly riches.

She must have been very happy about Yang Huimin's arrival, but she only showed just the right amount of enthusiasm.

This indicates that she is not enthusiastic about interpersonal relationships and only maintains such friendships with a few close friends.

She probably judges the importance of others based on their interests. This is evident from the scrutinizing look in her eyes when she looks at Jiang Xun.

This is not to say that she is snobbish, but rather it is due to her style of doing things and her habits.

“This is my cousin, Jiang Xun,” Yang Huimin introduced. “This is my college classmate, Li Qingning.”

"Hello, Sister Qingning." Jiang Xun returned the greeting with a faint smile, behaving very politely.

Li Qingning and He Lingling are clearly different, and you should naturally use different attitudes when dealing with different people.

"Hello, little brother." Li Qingning smiled and nodded at Jiang Xun, her eyes calm, seemingly unsurprised by Jiang Xun's appearance.

Indeed, this is true. In the bustling metropolis of Shanghai, as long as you are outstanding enough, you will never lack outstanding people around you.

There are definitely no shortage of top-tier handsome men and outstanding young people surrounding Li Qingning, and some of them are even very successful business upstarts.

Why would she be interested in a little boy from a small county like Jiang Xun?

Li Qingning led Jiang Xun and Yang Huimin into a minivan and took them to a five-star hotel.

After agreeing to have dinner with Yang Huimin that evening, she quickly got into her car and left, seemingly to attend some kind of meeting.

Jiang Xun was quite interested in this woman, but not because of her beauty.

Judging solely from appearance, figure, and temperament, Yang Huimin is superior to her overall.

And if Yang Kaiyi and Chen Shixuan were to live a few more years, they wouldn't be any worse than her.

Jiang Xun became interested in her because she mentioned cryptocurrency trading platforms while chatting with Yang Huimin in the car.

It seems their team is preparing to create a large-scale virtual currency trading platform, the future 'BTCC' (Bitcoin China)!

BTCChina is the earliest and largest Bitcoin trading platform in China, and its daily trading volume once ranked second in the world.

Jiang Xun has recently learned some information about Bitcoin and knows that it is still in its early stages, making it the best time to get started.

Moreover, although he didn't trade cryptocurrencies in his previous life, he had heard that Bitcoin's price fluctuates greatly.

In the early years, the price was as high as tens or hundreds of dollars, and as low as a few dollars.

He could first stockpile a batch through some channels, then sell it to cash out when the price is high, and buy it back when the price is low.

The profit margin could be several hundred times higher, and as long as the amount he holds doesn't affect the overall market, it won't attract attention.

By 2025, when the price of Bitcoin reaches a staggering $100,000, even if he only has a few thousand or tens of thousands of Bitcoins, he can easily amass assets worth over 100 million.

Jiang Xun and Yang Huimin rested at the hotel for two hours, and then Li Qingning came to pick them up for dinner after she finished her work.

However, there was another person who came with Li Qingning this time, who was also Yang Huimin's college classmate. He looked like a tall, rich, and handsome guy.

It was only then that Jiang Xun learned that Yang Huimin had actually graduated from Zhejiang University, which explained why all her classmates were so outstanding.

Only Yang Huimin is playful and immature; she thinks about quitting after only a few days of work.

But then again.

If she didn't have a girlish heart beneath her cold and aloof exterior,

How could she possibly end up playing with Jiang Xun, a boy who's only seventeen or eighteen?
