The elite men Qiao Qing had dated were all either rich or noble. If they didn't possess all three — wealth, beauty, and power — they weren't her targets.
Her motto was: A clever hunte...
Qiao Qing didn't go to bed until after four in the morning. It wasn't early for him to wake up in the morning. Fortunately, he set the alarm for ten o'clock before going to bed.
Otherwise, she might still be sleeping at this point.
He shook his confused head, waited until he calmed down, and climbed up.
After washing up, I took out my makeup bag from my suitcase and started to plan my trip.
When Qiao Qing was almost done, there was a knock on the door.
When I opened the door, it was Qin Yang.
Qin Yang was obviously surprised when he saw Qiao Qing was ready, "You woke up so early?"
Qiao Qing smiled, "Aren't you going to meet the cat today? I definitely need to prepare."
She noticed the difference in Qin Yang and asked curiously, "Moshang, are you home?"
Qin Yang was not wearing the same suit he wore yesterday. Although he didn't care much about clothes, he was a germaphobe and couldn't stand not changing his clothes, so he asked his secretary to send him a set of clothes early in the morning.
"No. Are you hungry? Do you want to go downstairs and eat something to fill your stomach?"
Qiao Qing waved his hand, "No, I'm not very hungry yet, and it's not early now, it would be bad to let the cat wait for us."
She was afraid that her lipstick would be eaten away by eating and she would have to put it back on again. Also, hot food would make her sweat and her makeup would not be as delicate as before.
"Okay." Qin Yang nodded. He raised his wrist to check the time. It was around half past eleven.
"Then let's go, this place is not far from there."
"Um."
The scene in Yanjing is very different from that in Jiazhou. There are many luxury cars on the road but they do not attract the attention of passers-by. It seems that this phenomenon has become commonplace.
Qiao Qing looked at the surrounding scenery with freshness and curiosity in his eyes.
"Is there any fun place here? I've finally come here, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste if I don't go and have some fun?"
Qin Yang was a little embarrassed when he mentioned this. He coughed lightly and said, "I have been abroad for a few years. Things around me have changed so much that I am not very clear about them."
I stayed abroad for three years and returned to China last year. My main purpose was to develop the foreign company in China.
Qin's father didn't care much about Qin Yang. He just provided him with connections and start-up capital and let him do what he wanted.
Qin Yang was still young at the time, and he was just in a whim. He played with the stock market for a while, made a small profit, and met a like-minded friend who was five years older than him, had just graduated from a junior high school, and was planning to make a big move.
One was rich, the other capable, and they hit it off immediately. They started a company together. They originally thought it would be a small business, but unexpectedly they made a name for themselves. With the influence of Qin's father abroad, the company developed rapidly and now has grown to a considerable scale.
His friend is in charge of management abroad, while he is in charge of development in China. As for software, with the rise of the Internet, it has become very popular, and the salaries of programmers have also risen sharply. Therefore, there are quite a few college students working in this industry, but their levels are uneven.
The company was going through a difficult time before the New Year. It was common to not sleep for several days at that time. The situation abroad was different from that at home, and the development model could not be copied mechanically. It could only be explored slowly. And under the watchful eyes of Qin's father, Qin Yang was still young and frivolous after all, and he still wanted to make a career with his own abilities.
Unfortunately, there are many powerful people in Yanjing, and you can't make a name for yourself just by being rich and capable, so Qin Yang encountered many obstacles. Qin's father wanted to train his mentality, so he didn't care.
Eventually the company survived and is now thriving.
Fortunately, he was just listed at Yanda University, otherwise, with his slack attendance in class, the teacher would have failed him.
But who can blame him for donating several buildings to Yanda? Even the new library built this year was funded by his family. Most importantly, Mr. and Mrs. Qin graduated from Yanda, so they always have a special feeling for their alma mater.
Qiao Qing didn't know that Qin Yang had returned from abroad. She couldn't help but be surprised, "So is your English very good?"
If you want to stay abroad, your spoken English must be good enough, otherwise how can you live there for a few years?
"It's OK. We hired a foreign teacher before. When I first went there, I wasn't used to communicating in English, so I started speaking Chinese."
Thinking of the embarrassment at that time, Qin Yang couldn't help laughing.
Qiao Qing was not concerned about this. "You went abroad alone? Did your parents miss you, so you came back?"
"Not really. My dad wanted to train my ability to be independent, so he sent me abroad. Now that the company wants to develop in China, I returned home."
This was just a high-sounding excuse that Qin's father gave to deal with his mother. In fact, his father felt that he was disrupting their own world, so he couldn't wait to kick him out of the house when he just turned sixteen.
Of course, his mother was worried that he would not be used to the food in a foreign country and that there would be no one to take care of him, so she arranged for an aunt to go with him.
"Your father is too strict with you." Qiao Qing thought for a moment and said with emotion, "Ah, so there is a reason why you are so outstanding."
She looked straight at Tan Yang's profile and asked softly, "You are so good-looking, are there many people pursuing you abroad?"
Qin Yang smiled and neither denied nor admitted it.
“I was obsessed with starting my own business.”
Being shown affection by his parents for a long time, he is not very interested in girls.
What's more, when he went abroad, the ideas there were quite different from those in China. Girls were very proactive and open-minded, and he had seen too many people who only took relationships as a playful thing, which gradually made him less interested in this aspect.
It happened that his career had just started at that time, and the feeling of making money made him very addicted. All his energy was spent on it, and he had no time or energy to think about emotional matters.
"You haven't even graduated yet, and you're already starting a business?" Qiao Qing smacked her lips in amazement. At first, she thought Qin Yang was just following in his father's footsteps, but she never thought that he would start a company at this age.
Qin Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't intend to take it seriously. I was just playing around."
After making a fortune in the stock market, he just thought that at worst he would lose it, which would not be a big deal.
The pair of watery eyes on Qiao Qing's fair little face widened, her mouth slightly opened, and she didn't know what to say to Qin Yang's words.
She hesitated for a long time and could only utter: "You are really amazing."
In just a few years, this company has expanded from overseas to domestic markets. Isn't that impressive?
Qin Yang smiled and said nothing.
If he hadn't had a capable partner, the process wouldn't have been so smooth. After all, he was still young at the time and had little experience, so it was easy for him to take detours.
Along the way, Qiao Qing was not as quiet as before. He chattered a lot, asking a hundred thousand questions and showing curiosity about everything.
Sometimes he asked about Tan Yang's life abroad, sometimes he asked about the customs and culture of Yanjing. Fortunately, Tan Yang did not show any impatience. Instead, he patiently satisfied Qiao Qing's thirst for knowledge.
After about half an hour, they arrived at their destination.
It’s not that the restaurant is far from their hotel, but the traffic in Yanjing is really congested. Even on normal days when it’s not a holiday, this section of road is always blocked for a while at noon.
It may also be because the road here is more prosperous.
After getting off the car, Qiao Qing followed Qin Yang's footsteps and entered the restaurant one after another.
Qin Yang deliberately slowed down his pace, Qiao Qing quickened his pace, and the two walked side by side.
The diners were very quiet, with only the sound of music flowing quietly.
Bai Qiaoran and her roommates had already arrived. Qin Yang had reserved a table in advance. The restaurant was full and there was a long line outside, which showed how popular this restaurant was.
The roommate's eyes were full of excitement. He leaned close to Bai Qiaoran's ear and whispered, "Qiaoran, your gaming friend should be very rich, right?"
Looking around the environment, the store decoration is very low-key and luxurious, and it feels very high-end at first glance.
She had never been to such a high-end restaurant before, and this time it was thanks to her roommate.
Bai Qiaoran comes from a well-off family, but it was her first time in a restaurant like this, so she was a little reserved. However, she was proud in front of her roommates and did not show any timidity on her face.
"Probably. I don't know him very well."
It's obvious that the consumption here is not low. It seems that [Mr. Moshang]'s family background is better than she thought. Sure enough, what she saw in the circle of friends was just the tip of the iceberg.
The roommate nodded. Bai Qiaoran only interacted with the other party online, so who would mention their family background?
She suppressed her excitement and encouraged Bai Qiaoran: "Now he is interested in you, you must seize the opportunity."
If this really works, I probably won’t have to worry about the rest of my life.
"Don't talk nonsense, there's nothing to worry about right now!"
Bai Qiaoran pretended to be shy and spoke in a soft voice.
The roommate looked on and smiled without saying anything.
Bai Qiaoran turned on her phone and clicked on the chat box of [Moshang Gongzi].
I found that the other party has not replied to my message yet, and I feel a little uneasy.
[Cat's Little Fish]: "Moshang, we're already here, when will you come over?"
The time they agreed on was twelve o'clock, and now more than ten minutes have passed.
[Mr. Moshang]: "We're here."
After receiving the message, Bai Qiaoran patted her roommate who was still looking around aimlessly.
"How is it? How is it? How do I look now?"
While she asked her roommate nervously, she raised her phone to check if her hair was messy, and tidied up the loose hair around her ears with her slender hands.
My roommate smiled and said, "No problem, it's beautiful."
Bai Qiaoran breathed a sigh of relief. She sat upright, her eyes observing the people passing by. Suddenly, a familiar figure came into her sight, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly into a beautiful arc.
Although I have never met Qin Yang, I know his circle of friends very well, so I am naturally familiar with him.
There was only Qin Yang in her eyes, and she subconsciously ignored the girl next to him. When she came to her senses and saw the face of the girl next to Qin Yang clearly, she was stunned, and the smile on her chubby little face disappeared instantly.
Qiao Qing!!
How come she appeared in Yanjing?
Many thoughts came to Bai Qiaoran's mind, but they were fleeting.
She adjusted her facial expression and smiled as she watched Qin Yang and the others approaching.
Looking at the ever-changing facial expression of [Cat's Little Fish], Qiao Qing felt a little happier for no reason, and even the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.
