2003: The Opening Sniper Against the Financial Tycoon

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, I just bought it anywhere outside."

Qin Hanyang didn't expect Xie Feiji, this hothead, to open it in front of everyone.

So he was forced to laugh it off and give a perfunctory reply.

However, a male classmate next to him, seeing Qin Hanyang in the limelight, leaned over and seized the opportunity to ask:

"These days everyone's saying that some international brands have grey market versions, which are dozens of times cheaper. Qin Hanyang, that's one of those you bought, right?"

"More or less."

Qin Hanyang remained noncommittal.

The boy in front of me is named Zhou Long. He doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards me, and he has a good relationship with Qin Hanyang.

The only downside is that he has a habit of pretending to know everything.

Many times, regardless of whether he understood it or not, he would stand up and say a few words to show off, and Qin Hanyang was used to it.

However, Hu Ting and the others standing nearby looked puzzled and asked:

"What do you mean by 'parallel import'?"

"Parallel imports are products made to imitate this brand; to put it bluntly, they are counterfeit goods."

This satisfied Zhou Long's vanity, but he only had a superficial understanding of it. However, he was shameless enough to give a detailed explanation.

"oh......"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Then, his gaze toward Qin Hanyang became somewhat strange.

This situation wasn't meant to embarrass him, but rather to pique his curiosity about whether he was doing it on purpose.

If it's to satisfy one's vanity, then it's really unnecessary.

After all, which of your classmates doesn't know about Qin Hanyang's situation?

Zhou Long wasn't stupid either; he realized that his words had embarrassed Qin Hanyang, so he tried to smooth things over:

"Hey, I was just guessing, but even if this thing is a grey import, it won't be cheap. It'll definitely cost several tens of dollars, and it'll at least look better than some digital watches."

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Hu Ting walked over to Zhou Long and pinched him hard.

Xie Feiji, however, didn't mind at all; he took it and put it on to help Qin Hanyang out of his predicament.

"Fake is fake, it doesn't matter. Besides, who would know if it's real or fake when I wear it out?"

"Exactly, that's right, it's good that you have the intention."

Xie's mother quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Students, go sit down and play cards. We'll have dinner together later."

"Okay, Auntie."

No one took the matter seriously and prepared to sit down and eat.

After they had walked a distance, Xie's mother shook her head and said:

"That kid Qin is really something. He's such a good friend of Xie Fei, why did he come empty-handed? He probably got scammed while working a summer job."

"This watch should be genuine."

Hearing his wife's words, Xie's father shook his head. "I just touched it. The workmanship, the craftsmanship, and the packaging all seem to be something that a fake could not make. And even if it were a fake, it would be indistinguishable from the real thing. The price difference between it and the genuine product is only a few hundred yuan."

"Yeah?"

Upon hearing this, Xie's mother was also very surprised. After pondering for a few seconds, she sighed, "No matter what, Xiao Qin is a thoughtful child. I heard from Xiao Fei that he originally had the score for a bachelor's degree, but he went to a vocational college to save money for the family. He even knows to go out and work during the holidays to earn money. We should let our son learn from him in the future."

"Yes, this child is remarkable. He can clearly endure hardship and has the spirit and drive of our generation."

Xie's father was also deeply moved, and his words seemed to be full of appreciation for Qin Hanyang.

the other side.

Qin Hanyang also joined the group of classmates and played cards for a while before the meal.

They chatted for a while, talking about some campus gossip.

For example, who got together with whom, and who confessed their feelings to whom, helped Qin Hanyang reminisce about his lost youth.

"Dinner's ready!"

At six o'clock in the evening, the guests gradually arrived, and the restaurant began to serve the dishes.

Qin Hanyang took the opportunity to sit down with Jiang Nanyue.

The latter was carrying a small canvas shoulder bag, which was right in front of him.

"Perfect timing, this is for you."

As he spoke, Qin Hanyang secretly took a small box out of his pocket under the table where no one could see him, opened her canvas bag, and stuffed it inside.

"What?"

Jiangnan Yue was overjoyed to see this and was so excited that she could hardly speak.

As she reached her left hand into her bag to see what was inside, she accidentally touched Qin Hanyang's right hand, their hands brushing together in the cramped space.

"Hey, it's not even dark yet, why are you two touching each other?"

No one noticed the act of stuffing the gift into her bag, but Hu Ting, who was next to her, saw their little slept-in-the-bag exchange.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nanyue was so frightened that she quickly pulled her hand away, her face turning slightly red.

"hey-hey."

Qin Hanyang was not intimidated at all and took the initiative to extend his hand to Hu Ting.

"Touch it, it's over three hundred~ Want to touch it?"

"Tch~ I don't care."

Hu Ting rolled her eyes, then gave Qin Hanyang a meaningful look and said:

"Our Yueyue is a real beauty now. Some people shouldn't take her lightly, or they'll regret it later."

"I agree with you!"

Qin Hanyang pretended to be stupid and said.

"Hmph, you're just pretending."

Hu Ting rolled her eyes at him again and said no more.

Jiangnan Yue wasn't as generous as Hu Ting.

When she heard this topic, her heart was pounding like crazy, and she didn't dare to say a word.

Although Qin Hanyang's answer did not satisfy her, she was already very content to receive his gift today.

At this moment, I was filled with curiosity about the gift and wanted to quickly find a secluded place to open it and take a look.

The dishes were almost all served.

Most of the guests have arrived.

Prior to this, Mr. and Mrs. Xie had even been walking back and forth between the tables, saying polite words to the guests.

Qin Hanyang originally only wanted to eat.

But when he glanced out the window, he saw his father's bread truck parked across the street.

At that moment, he and a worker who had gotten out of the passenger seat began unloading the cargo.

"Dad! What are you doing here?"

Qin Hanyang quickly got up, walked out, and shouted to the opposite side.

"Come deliver goods, what are you doing here?"

Qin Anhua had just returned from the surrounding towns, but he immediately started delivering goods.

He knew his son was coming back today, but he didn't expect him to be eating at this restaurant.

"Xie Fei's family is having a celebration for students graduating from university, and they invited me to dinner."

Qin Hanyang recounted the truth.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Anhua frowned, then dusted off his hands and led Qin Hanyang quickly to the restaurant.

Arriving at the designated place for writing down monetary gifts, I took out three hundred yuan and handed it to the "Vice Minister of Rites".

Congratulations!

"Hey bro, come in and have some dinner with us."

Xie's parents also saw what was happening and quickly came over to greet Qin Anhua.

Mr. Xie did have some impression of Qin Anhua, but not much; he had only seen him at two parent-teacher meetings.

They were merely nodding acquaintances.

They were quite surprised that the other party was now offering them a gift.

"No, no, I have things to do. You all go about your business."

Qin Anhua exchanged a few polite words with Xie's parents and was about to leave.

One of the guests approached them and greeted Qin Anhua.

"Boss Qin, you're here too? Want to join us for a couple of drinks?"

"Boss Fan, I haven't finished unloading the goods across the street yet, I don't have time, let's have a drink together another day."

Qin Anhua is quite capable in dealing with people. He patted Xie's father's arm to express his apology, saying, "Our two families' children are good friends. It's rare to have this relationship. Let's get together more often in the future."

"Okay, okay, I'll treat next time!"

Mr. and Mrs. Xie agreed outwardly, but were still somewhat incredulous inside.

This Mr. Fan is a relative of theirs. He owns four clothing stores and is considered a wealthy self-employed individual. How did he meet Qin Hanyang's father?

Didn't they say Qin Hanyang's family went bankrupt?

From what this relative is saying, it sounds like their business has actually grown bigger?
