2003: The Opening Sniper Against the Financial Tycoon

After having lunch, Qin Hanyang rested at home for a while.

Before four o'clock, Xie Feiji called again, urging him to hurry up.

"We're at a restaurant, why don't you come over and play for a bit? We're playing cards here, and after dinner we'll all go to karaoke."

"OK."

Qin Hanyang was bored at home. He originally wanted to take a nap, but the machine noise downstairs kept going on and on, so he couldn't sleep well and decided to just go out.

Before leaving, he took a shopping bag from his suitcase and said to Wang Huirong:

"Mom, I'm going to a class reunion this afternoon. I'll be out for a while and won't be home for dinner tonight."

"You just got back and you can't even stay home quietly!"

Wang Huirong complained a few times, but she was stubborn and soft-hearted. In addition, she was busy with the workers to ship the goods and had no time to take care of him.

Thinking of this, she remembered something else, called Qin Hanyang over, and took out a twenty-yuan note from her crossbody bag and handed it to him.

"Take this, and spend it wisely!"

"OK."

Qin Hanyang casually accepted it.

Wang Huirong was somewhat surprised by this nonchalant attitude.

In the past, my son would have been overjoyed to receive so much pocket money.

Why is today so uneventful?

Is it because you think it's too little and are embarrassed to say so?

Out of a sense of making amends, Wang Huirong surprisingly took pity on him and distributed another round of red envelopes.

"Here, I'll give you another fifty."

"OK."

Although Qin Hanyang was somewhat curious, he accepted all offers of help.

He doesn't care about this small amount of pocket money at all now.

In his own wallet, there were two or three thousand in cash alone, not to mention the more than two million in balance in his card!

"You brat, you didn't even say thank you!"

Wang Huirong watched his retreating figure, shook her head helplessly, and sighed.

A female worker nearby, seeing this, asked:

"Boss lady, you have such an obedient and sensible son, why are you sighing?"

"Sigh, she's too sensible."

Wang Huirong shook her head, not wanting to explain too much to outsiders.

At that moment, she wasn't thinking about anything else, but rather about how Qin Hanyang, who should have been at the level of an undergraduate, had ended up only getting a junior college diploma.

She even imagined her son being asked about this situation by his classmates at the party, feeling embarrassed and awkward.

For a moment, as a mother, she felt a pang of heartache and empathy, and was even filled with guilt.

But the family factory's fortunes turned around around the time her son filled out his college application, something she, as his mother, couldn't do anything about.

Otherwise, even if the school has high tuition fees, their family wouldn't have much of a problem.

Now that things have come to this, she can only make up for it with her allowance.

the other side.

Qin Hanyang leisurely arrived at the pedestrian street square in Hongcheng County.

This is the liveliest place in the entire county. There's also a restaurant next door where Xie Feiji's college entrance banquet was held.

"Qin Hanyang, here!"

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the restaurant and was about to go up, a woman's voice called out to him from behind.

Qin Hanyang turned around and saw that the sound came from the milk tea and cold drink shop across the street, where several girls were sitting together enjoying the air conditioning.

As for the person who called his name, Qin Hanyang recognized her; she was their class monitor, named Hu Ting.

Even Jiangnan Yue was among them, but because there were so many people, she just smiled and nodded at Qin Hanyang.

Qin Hanyang then greeted everyone:

"What are you beautiful ladies chatting about here?"

"Let's talk about where you've been for a month or so. Humph, that's so unfair of you. You haven't sent any news at all, making everyone so concerned about you."

Hu Ting first complained to him for a while, then took the initiative to ask, "What would you like to drink? It's on me~"

"There's no other way, I'm forced to by life! Next time I'll definitely let you know in advance before I leave."

Qin Hanyang made a gesture of surrender, then walked to the bar, ordered himself a bubble tea, and paid for everyone else's drinks as well.

"As an apology, let me treat you to dinner today."

Upon hearing this, Hu Ting and the others immediately reacted, with one of the girls even rushing to the bar to try and dissuade them.

"Oh dear, it's not easy for you to work a summer job! There's no need for you to pay for it!"

"That's right, boss, give him his money back!"

Seeing this, Qin Hanyang was both amused and exasperated.

Hu Ting and her group of girls either come from state-owned enterprise employees or families within the system.

He usually doesn't lack pocket money, so this situation has made him feel a little awkward.

Fortunately, the boss was also a guy and knew he couldn't lose face in this situation, so he ultimately didn't get a refund.

"Let's go upstairs too, it'll be time for dinner soon."

Faced with so many girls, Qin Hanyang knew that staying here would only make him the subject of their gossip, so he quickly went into the restaurant across the street.

"Uncle and Auntie."

Xie Feiji and his parents stood at the door to greet the guests.

Hu Ting and Jiang Nanyue had also arrived earlier. Xie Feiji's parents were familiar with them and, out of courtesy to the hosts, greeted them:

"Girls, hurry inside and sit down, dinner will be served soon..."

Upon seeing Qin Hanyang, Xie's mother was somewhat pleased, knowing that he was her son's best friend.

"Hey, Hanyang's back! My Xie Fei told me you went out to work a summer job. You're much more sensible than my son. You two should take care of each other when you go to the same school!"

"That's a must."

Qin Hanyang smiled and agreed.

Xie Feiji also approached at this moment and gently punched him on the shoulder.

"Damn it, why didn't you say you'd come sooner?"

"Here, this is a gift for you."

Seeing this, Qin Hanyang handed the bag he had brought with him when he left the house to Xie Feiji.

"Oh, so you know this kind of thing?"

The latter was quite surprised, but his face lit up with joy, and he accepted it without any hesitation.

At this moment, everyone realized that Qin Hanyang had brought a gift!

Of course, the girls were just as capable.

The table in front of them was already covered with the small gifts they had carefully prepared.

Their surprise was understandable; boys don't usually care about these things, so it's normal for them to come empty-handed.

But these days, it's common for people to exchange gifts during graduation season. They had already met up several times before and had developed a tacit understanding.

Even the boys playing cards next to them pooled their money to buy a "Xtep" basketball and a pair of sneakers.

"Let me see what you gave me."

Xie Feiji was curious and couldn't wait to open it in front of everyone.

The ordinary shopping bag is just the outer packaging; inside, there is also an exquisite gift box.

"What brand is this watch?"

After struggling to open it, Xie Feiji stared at the English logo on it, looking somewhat confused.

"Armani?"

Mr. Xie, being well-traveled and knowledgeable, recognized it immediately. He then took it and examined it closely, confirming that it was a basic model.

Even so, he still looked at Qin Hanyang with a solemn expression and asked:

"This one isn't cheap, it must cost a thousand or two, right, Xiao Qin?"
