2003: The Opening Sniper Against the Financial Tycoon

Chapter 40 Advance Payment

Regarding Qin Hanyang's explanation.

Tang Lin did not ask any further questions at this moment.

The confident look on the former's face had already given her the answer.

Of course, both Tang Wanxin and Tang Lin had already thoroughly investigated their backgrounds.

If you're still worried that he'll scam you and run away with your money, then you're definitely overthinking it.

Seeing him turn to leave, Tang Lin pressed, "Where...are you going?"

"Just taking a walk."

Qin Hanyang said, "By the way, this is the East District, right?"

"Is this your first time here? Would you like me to show you around?"

"Alright."

In his previous life, Qin Hanyang was also sent to the branch office in Yanjing for three years due to work reasons, so he could be considered a "Beijing drifter".

He is familiar with many places as well.

However, he doesn't mind having someone accompany him while shopping.

Tang Lin followed behind Qin Hanyang, walking aimlessly.

Although Qin Hanyang's annoyance with her was quite obvious, she didn't want to go back at the moment. Instead, she shamelessly offered to be his tour guide.

She often glanced at the latter's back.

For some reason, she always felt that Qin Hanyang was full of mystery, and she couldn't help but want to explore some of his private habits again.

"Is that Ditan Park up ahead?"

Qin Hanyang noticed a road sign and became interested.

Tang Lin nodded: "Yes, turn left 150 meters ahead. The park closes at nine o'clock, but you can still enter now."

"Are you familiar with this place?"

Qin Hanyang asked in surprise, "You did your undergraduate studies here? Tsinghua University? Or Yenching University?"

"Yantai University..."

Tang Lin nodded slightly, behaving somewhat like Versailles.

"I admit you're awesome!"

Qin Hanyang gave a thumbs up, expressing his sincere admiration.

In his view, getting into a top university is not something that can be achieved simply by "studying hard".

In terms of intelligence alone, they are far ahead of the average person after the screening process, and can be considered "smart people" in the conventional sense.

"However, it is still slightly inferior to my Rongcheng Electronic Technology Vocational College."

Tang Lin was a little curious, as she had never even heard of this school.

But she dared not underestimate it, after all, Tsinghua University was also known as Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College, which might be a nickname for some other college.

So she pressed on, asking, "Why?"

Qin Hanyang smiled at Tang Lin, revealing his pearly white teeth:

"Because I will soon be there."

"..."

Tang Lin smiled speechlessly.

Qin Hanyang, who was ahead, had already slipped into the park gate.

Then, with one hand behind his back, like a retired old man, he looked left and right, and walked for more than forty minutes just in the park.

"You actually came here for a walk?"

Tang Lin was shocked; her legs almost gave way.

She thought Qin Hanyang was just making excuses to get rid of her, but who would have thought he would actually stay in the park for so long!

"Otherwise what?" Qin Hanyang retorted.

"Logically speaking, shouldn't someone your age be going to bars, internet cafes, nightclubs, and the like?"

"I've had enough of those places, they're so noisy, my ears and heart can't take it."

After Qin Hanyang finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "Sigh, it seems I'm not lucky today. I didn't run into Tiesheng."

Tang Lin asked, "Who is Tiesheng?"

"Do you know Shi Tiesheng?"

"have no idea."

"..."

Qin Hanyang thought for a moment and then said, "You must know Yu Hua, right? He's the author of 'To Live' and 'Chronicle of a Blood Merchant,' both of which have been adapted into movies."

"I understand now, I've read both of those books."

Upon hearing this, Tang Lin suddenly realized what was going on.

"Hmm... Tiesheng is Yu Hua's friend, and also a very excellent writer."

After Qin Hanyang finished explaining, he fell silent again.

Shi Tiesheng passed away in 2010 and is still alive today.

Although he cannot be compared with Yu Hua and others, he is already quite well-known in the writers' forum. His essay "Me and the Temple of Heaven" was included in the first-year high school Chinese textbook published by the People's Education Press starting in 2000.

"Miss Tang, if you're free tomorrow, could you please contact Mr. Shi Tiesheng for me? I'd like to pay him a visit."

"Hey, I'm not your personal assistant."

When Tang Lin heard that Qin Hanyang had once again arranged for her to do something that had nothing to do with Delong Group, she finally couldn't bear it any longer.

Seeing that she had protested, Qin Hanyang laughed and said:

"Indeed, I have never treated you as a personal assistant. After all, I would have to pay you a salary. You don't have to do it. I won't force you. I can have Mr. Tang arrange someone else for me to do. I guess the other person will be more obedient than you."

"you......"

Upon hearing this, Tang Lin was furious.

Seeing this, Qin Hanyang knew she would obediently do as she was told.

After satisfying his perverse pleasure of "paying homage to the ruins," Qin Hanyang took a taxi straight back.

After arriving at the hotel, Tang Lin did not rest. She immediately contacted an editor classmate in Beijing who worked at a publishing house and obtained Shi Tiesheng's contact information and address.

"No. 26 Yonghegong Street, Unit X, Floor X, landline number: xxx. Also, just a reminder, the time I've scheduled to visit you is tomorrow afternoon at 2 PM."

Qin Hanyang had just finished washing up in his room when he received this text message from Tang Lin.

"You're moving pretty fast, you've even planned out the schedule."

Qin Hanyang smiled. He was becoming increasingly adept at manipulating Tang Lin.

Then, he put the matter aside and turned on the computer in the room.

This is a unique feature of high-end hotels in this era—computer rooms.

Later, some three- and four-star hotels also tried to imitate it, but they were just copying it because the cost of network access was too high, so it was basically just a standalone computer.

However, in order to satisfy customers' entertainment needs, merchants will download a large number of Japanese and Korean movies to their local hard drives.

It can be considered a forward-thinking e-sports hotel, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a relic of the past.

Qin Hanyang's hotel was much more upscale, and even had internet access.

He turned on his computer, logged into QQ, and received messages from several friends.

Among them was a greeting from Xie Feiji.

What are you doing? Playing Legend of Mir?

[Damn it, he's not replying to my messages again.]

[Dead?]

Qin Hanyang's reply was also concise: 【Busy, get lost!】

Besides that, there's the moon over Jiangnan.

Is everything going smoothly for you when you're trying to make money?

【Are you there?】

Since it's a new QQ account, he currently only has these two acquaintances.

The latter even sent him several text messages.

Qin Hanyang saw it as soon as he returned to China. To avoid worrying the latter, he took advantage of his free time to quickly reply to Jiang Nanyue with the message: "[All is well]".

Jiangnan Yue even replies instantly.

Have you had dinner yet?

Qin Hanyang glanced at it, found the topic too boring, and was too lazy to reply.

As they were talking.

Wang Pengfei knocked on the door.

"Yangyang, are you back yet?"

"They're here."

Qin Hanyang quickly went to open the door.

Wang Pengfei sat on his bed as if they were old friends.

Qin Hanyang frowned when he saw the creased blankets:

"Uncle, come sit in this chair, I'll make you a cup of tea."

"It's okay, I'll just sit on the bed."
