2003: The Opening Sniper Against the Financial Tycoon

"Fan Lao Er, what's the current situation with Qin Anhua? Didn't we hear he got swindled out of money and his business went bankrupt?"

After watching Qin Anhua leave in a hurry, Xie's father turned around and asked again.

"It did collapse before."

Upon hearing this, Fan Lao Er explained, "But I heard that he took out a loan more than half a month ago and reopened the factory. Business is booming now. The machines are running non-stop all day long, and the goods are even being shipped out of the province! My stores are now selling out of their stock in just two days!"

"Tsk tsk... That's impressive. It seems Qin Anhua is quite capable, making a comeback so quickly."

When Xie's parents heard about Qin Anhua's loan, they were also somewhat moved.

Mother Xie said, "No wonder young Qin is so well-mannered; his family's traditions speak for themselves."

"really."

Mr. Xie nodded, and pondered for a moment.

Then the two of them walked behind their son, with Qin Hanyang standing next to him.

Father Xie, supporting the two of them by the shoulders, looked at Qin Hanyang and asked:

"Xiao Qin, I heard you made a special trip back from Chengdu this time?"

"Hmph, I told him to come back, and he has to come back."

Upon hearing this, Xie Feiji immediately grabbed Qin Hanyang with his hand, feeling that his good brother's actions truly made him look good.

Mr. Xie then asked, "Will you continue with the summer jobs?"

"Yes, Auntie. I'm going back to Chengdu tomorrow. I even asked my team leader on the assembly line for leave to come back, and they deducted two days' wages from my pay! I lost my perfect attendance bonus too!"

Qin Hanyang smiled and casually continued to cover up the lie about "summer job".

She even created a persona of working hard to support herself while studying.

"Oh dear, child, you've really gone through a lot!"

Hearing this, Xie's mother felt a pang of sympathy.

Then, Xie's mother casually pinched Xie Feiji's neck. "How about this, is your summer job still hiring? If it is, let Xie Fei go with you tomorrow and experience it for a while, until school starts!"

"Huh? No way, Mom!"

Ignoring the pain in his neck, Xie Feiji quickly begged for mercy and even frantically tried to wink at Qin Hanyang.

The latter pretended not to see and just nodded: "Yes, we are hiring, but the salary is a bit low, only 20 yuan a day."

"20 yuan is enough!"

Mr. Xie readily agreed, instructing, "Go home tonight and pack your bags. The money you earn before school starts will be your living expenses for the first month!"

Xie Feiji stubbornly replied, "Do whatever you want, I'm not going."

Xie's father was not afraid of his threats at all, and snorted:

"It's fine if you don't go, but your dream of getting a new phone is over."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Feiji's face turned ashen.

With his lifeline in his hands, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and say, "Fine, I'll go."

"Uncle and Aunt, I will take good care of him."

"Thank you so much, Xiao Qin. I'll reimburse you for your round-trip transportation expenses."

Xie's mother was also very good at interpersonal relationships. She took this opportunity to make up for Qin Hanyang's lost "full attendance fee".

Qin Hanyang nodded. Xie Fei's parents weren't short of money, so there was no need to argue about such a small matter.

The other students at the table were somewhat gloating at the sight.

Qin Hanyang patted Xie Feiji on the shoulder and whispered:

"Don't worry, when we get to Chengdu, I'll show you how to be cool and take you to new heights."

"It doesn't matter, just consider it a trip to Chengdu to spend some time with you."

Xie Feiji had completely resigned himself to his fate and didn't take it to heart.

After the meal.

Xie Feiji then organized everyone to go to a KTV to sing and drink.

In the past, the boys would walk ahead and clear the way, while the girls would follow behind in groups.

"Hey, where's Yueyue?"

Hu Ting suddenly noticed that one person was missing from their group.

"Here it is!"

Jiangnan Yue hurriedly caught up from behind at this moment.

Hu Ting, with her sharp eyes, noticed that a silver necklace had suddenly appeared on her chest.

"Hey, Yueyue, where did you get this necklace? I don't remember wearing it just now."

"Wow, this is Swarovski, right? When did you buy it?"

"How much? It looks quite nice!"

The other girls also noticed this and seemed somewhat surprised.

"This... was a gift from someone."

Jiang Nanyue hesitated for a moment, then glanced ahead.

Hu Ting noticed this detail, and in a flash of inspiration, she excitedly clapped her hands in the air:

"It's Qin Hanyang, right?!"

"..."

Jiangnan Yue's silence said it all.

Hu Ting excitedly ran to the boys' group in front and stopped Qin Hanyang.

"Oh, you've sent such an expensive gift, are you two together? Tell me the truth."

"no."

"I don't believe it. If you don't have one, why don't you send me one?"

Hu Ting didn't believe his story at all.

Qin Hanyang grinned and said, "After I give it to you, you have to agree to be my girlfriend. Will you?"

Hu Ting countered, "Jiang Nanyue agreed?"

"No, so we lost money on this deal, and we won't be delivering next time."

As soon as Qin Hanyang said this, everyone burst into laughter.

But regardless of whether they were boys or girls, they were all aware of their ambiguous relationship, so they didn't take it seriously.

Adolescence is that simple; it's impossible to hide who's interested in whom.

Qin Hanyang knew of three couples in their group alone, but none of them ended up getting married.

Seeing that she couldn't get confirmation, Hu Ting quickly returned to Jiang Nanyue's side and asked, "Yueyue, you didn't accept his confession?"

"He didn't say that..." Jiang Nanyue shook her head.

"Damn it, he tricked me again." Hu Ting said indignantly.

Jiangnan Yue saw that Hu Ting had been tricked and wanted to laugh, but when she thought of Qin Hanyang's answer, she felt a little disappointed.

Hu Ting seemed particularly eager to play the role of matchmaker, offering words of comfort:

"But he must like you, otherwise why would he only give you gifts and not me?"

"oh....."

Jiangnan Yue responded blankly, picked up the necklace on her chest and glanced at it, a sweet feeling welling up in her heart again.

"I mean... this can't be fake too, can it?"

A girl next to Hu Ting looked on with envy and couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"Possibly, considering how expensive it is."

"Who cares if it's real or fake? Qin Hanyang is willing to buy it. I've never seen your boyfriend buy you anything before."

"Exactly, you spend a lot of money on her, you're practically paying her out of your own pocket!"

"..."

A conversation ensued among the girls.

But Jiang Nanyue didn't care at all, and just murmured to herself:

"I like the fake one too..."

......

The karaoke session was particularly boring.

The boys were having a drinking contest. They had all drunk baijiu (Chinese liquor) at the dinner table earlier, and now that the beer was mixed in, they were all a bit dizzy and lightheaded.

Several of them fell asleep right there on the sofa.

But he knew this wasn't over yet.

Falling asleep is just a short rest; after waking up, you have to keep drinking!

Qin Hanyang developed his drinking capacity in this kind of environment.

However, he didn't participate at all today, and he controlled the amount he drank. He is still very sober at this moment.

He even found the KTV particularly boring, so when no one around him was paying attention, he went out for some fresh air and slipped into the internet cafe next door to go online.

QQ had just been launched.

He then received a message from Tang Lin.

"We contacted many companies that cooperate with Delong, but very few were willing to spend money to do business with our Daqin Media. I'm sorry."
