"What's wrong?"
Wen Ying's puzzled voice came from the receiver.
"It's okay, I ran into someone I know. Go to sleep first, we'll talk tomorrow."
Xie Qian hung up the phone before greeting his acquaintance: "Brother Yan, long time no see. When did you return to the capital?"
The acquaintance is Xie Tang’s ex-boyfriend Yan Yuchuan.
Yan Yuchuan is from Shanghai. After graduating from university, he naturally returned to Shanghai to work. Xie Qian was also surprised to meet Yan Yuchuan on this occasion today.
It’s not that Yan Yuchuan can’t come to the capital, but the occasion tonight is not right.
This was a very private reception.
Xie Qian doesn't drink. Mrs. Peng introduced Xie Qian to a big boss of an entertainment company who is the organizer of tonight's cocktail party, and Xie Qian came here just for him.
Xie Qian's temperament is very intimidating. When he changes into formal clothes and stands in such an occasion, no one knows that he is still a high school student... If it were not for the fact that it is difficult for others to look like Xie Qian, Yan Yuchuan would not dare to say hello.
"Why... did you come here with your elders? I just arrived in the capital the day before yesterday. I came to this cocktail party with my friend. We have something to do."
Yan Yuchuan wanted to ask why Xie Qian was here, but halfway through his words he thought of Xie Tang's family background.
Xie Tang and Xie Qian are from the same family. Xie Tang has a prominent family background, so how could Xie Qian be any worse!
Xie Qian did not deny it and let Yan Yuchuan misunderstand.
Yan Yuchuan pointed to a place not far away where a young man shorter than Yan Yuchuan was chatting with someone.
The young man looked quite excited, as if he treated the cocktail party as a speech venue, and the big boss who was stopped by him was already looking impatient.
The boss was none other than Mr. Ran, whom Xie Qian had just met.
Mr. Ran is not the richest person present, but his entertainment company is very large.
At present, celebrities in the entertainment industry have not been impacted by internet celebrities. Not only do they have status in the eyes of the public, but wealthy businessmen are also willing to follow them. Therefore, only Mr. Ran, who is not the richest, can become the organizer of the cocktail party. In the business circle of Beijing, Mr. Ran is very good at networking and has a strong network of contacts.
Tonight's cocktail party will have stars, famous directors, and CEOs from all walks of life. It seems to be a flourishing scene, but it is also a mixed bag.
"Whatever your friend wants to talk about, Mr. Ran no longer has the patience to listen."
As soon as Xie Qian finished speaking, Yan Yuchuan's friend came over with drooped shoulders and a dejected look on his face: "Achuan, everyone says that coal bosses are rich, but they have no interest in our project at all. I heard that Mr. Ran is very powerful, and I wanted him to help me make connections, but..."
But Mr. Ran is not free at all!
It’s no wonder that Mr. Ran is snobbish.
He held a cocktail party and gathered so many people. Mr. Ran is not idle.
Mr. Ran’s company recently wants to invest in a big production. Before the movie is released, no one knows whether it will make a profit or a loss. In order to reduce the risk of his own company, Mr. Ran plans to find a few more investors.
Yan Yuchuan's friend tried to stop Mr. Ran from talking about investment, which delayed Mr. Ran from raising investment himself. Mr. Ran's willingness to listen patiently for two minutes was a testament to his excellent manners.
After listening for two minutes, Mr. Ran was confused by the young man's numerous professional terms, and asked the young man to move aside in a very polite but firm manner.
Although the young man only complained a few words, Xie Qian had already grasped the key point very keenly. He turned to Yan Yuchuan and asked, "You don't work at your previous company anymore?"
Yan Yuchuan said vaguely: "I quit my job and want to try to start my own business with some friends."
Yan Yuchuan and Xie Tang are alumni. The undergraduate colleges they both attended are both top domestic universities. Given the reputation of the school, it would not be difficult for Yan Yuchuan to find a higher-paying job even if he is not satisfied with his previous job.
Unexpectedly, Yan Yuchuan gave up the safe development route and chose to start a business with his friends.
Start a business.
Ten out of ten entrepreneurs fail. It is difficult to find successful ones unless the statistical base is expanded to one hundred or one thousand.
Especially for a newly graduated university student like Yan Yuchuan, whose family cannot provide financial and network support and who does not have enough experience, if he rashly joins the army of entrepreneurs, nine out of ten times he will end up with nothing.
Of course, Xie Qian cannot directly sentence Yan Yuchuan's entrepreneurial journey to death.
While there are certainly some wealthy people in this world whose wealth comes from "inheritance", there is also no shortage of successful people who started from scratch.
Young entrepreneurs are all inexperienced. They will gain experience through trial and error and failure a few times. If they choose the right entrepreneurial direction and are lucky, it is not surprising that they will become new elites.
Xie Qian did not discourage Yan Yuchuan from resigning and starting his own business.
Xie Qian was thinking about Yan Yuchuan's motivation for resigning and starting his own business.
This reminded Xie Qian of the scene when Yan Yuchuan and Xie Tang officially broke up.
Their breakup was not awkward. Xie Tang wished Yan Yuchuan a bright future, and they even raised their glasses to celebrate their respective futures!
In the blink of an eye, a year had passed since Xie Tang and Yan Yuchuan broke up. Xie Tang stayed in Shanghai for graduate school and had started a new life. As far as Xie Qian knew, Xie Tang hadn't found a new boyfriend yet. He wasn't sure if Xie Tang had forgotten Yan Yuchuan or if she still loved him. But given Xie Tang's personality, a breakup meant they weren't compatible, and she wouldn't continue to linger with her ex. Yan Yuchuan clearly hadn't gotten over the relationship yet, and his relationship with Xie Tang had changed his life plans.
Working hard in the workplace and becoming a senior executive of a large company after several years is a good path, but it is not what Yan Yuchuan wants.
Xie Qian sighed in his heart.
The friend had already noticed Xie Qian, "Achuan, do you know him?"
At first glance, my friends thought Xie Qian was a star.
There were many celebrities at the cocktail party. Although my friend couldn’t remember Xie Qian’s name, he must be a celebrity given his handsome appearance!
However, after taking a closer look, my friend became unsure again.
Most celebrities don’t have this kind of temperament.
Yan Yuchuan nodded. "I know him. This is... the younger brother of a friend of mine. His name is Xie Qian."
Xie Qian?
Never heard of this name.
I don’t know if he is a star, maybe he hasn’t made his debut yet.
Thinking that Xie Qian might have come here with his elders, Yan Yuchuan didn't want to talk to Xie Qian anymore. Xie Qian's elders were Xie Tang's elders, and Yan Yuchuan didn't want to meet with the elders of the Xie family in such an occasion.
Unexpectedly, Xie Qian tried to persuade him to stay, "Brother Yan, what project are you going to do? Can you tell me about it?"
Before Yan Yuchuan could refuse, his friend instantly became excited.
"Achuan, let me tell the story!"
Celebrities are good at making money. Even if they are not famous yet, they will become famous just with this face.
If I don't tell Xie Qian, no one else wants to listen. I don't know how many times my friend has repeated the same opening remarks tonight.
Xie Qian listened to him patiently.
My friend chuckled.
I was really obsessed with attracting investments. For a moment, I actually thought that the young man in front of me was an investor!
However, Yan Yuchuan's friends were still very grateful to Xie Qian. At least Xie Qian did not interrupt them and listened to their project completely. No matter how much Xie Qian understood, this was education and politeness!

This is the second update from yesterday. It was too late to finish it yesterday~
