Chapter 101 Lend me 200,000 yuan for urgent use
On the Jiangcheng elevated highway, vehicles crisscrossed like a stream. Qin Jixiu noticed that commuters at this time were generally skilled, quick-paced, and generally had good minds. They kept a moderate distance between vehicles and each drove in its own lane, resulting in smooth traffic.
Near the ramp, the car slowed, even seeming to stop. He unhurriedly slammed on the brakes, steering with one hand while lowering the left window and resting his left hand outside the car. His fingers dangled carelessly, the veins on the back of his hand like jade carvings. His lean, sturdy forearm was draped in a black suit and shirt, and his dark blue watch read 7:35.
As we passed this section of road, two rats suddenly appeared ahead. One was a silver-white, old-model Sylphy, its paint chipped off the back, the kind that required you to stand up and stomp the gas pedal to accelerate. The other was a stylish electric car. The two vehicles, in perfect unison, drove side by side at a snail's pace for three minutes.
Qin Jixiu's Maybach was right behind the electric car in the left lane.
He always remembered the principle of "happy people give in," but as luck would have it, he wasn't feeling happy right now. His partner had been extremely cold to him the past few days, replying to his messages with either an "um" or an "oh," and this morning, she simply didn't reply at all. He was so furious that he started honking his horn, once, twice, three times, and then an angry, long blast.
Not only did the tram not speed up, it also slammed on the foot brake.
"Can you drive properly?" Qin Jixiu cursed inwardly, his temper rising instantly. The Maybach's headlights flashed like crazy on the rear of the tram, their frequency no less than that of the Korean media's flashbulbs.
The tram driver slammed the brakes on his car.
With a "bang", the front of the Maybach crashed into the rear of the tram, and the wheels left a dark mark on the ground. In an instant, the sounds of brakes and horns were heard all around. Fortunately, the speed of the cars was not fast at this time, and no one else was affected except him and the tram owner.
Get out of the car. Call the police.
"Comrade officer, I was driving normally in the left lane, maintaining a safe distance. I really didn't expect him to brake so suddenly. I saw the ABS was engaged... I braked immediately, but unfortunately, we still collided. I'm glad he's okay. Yes, I was honking the horn and flashing the lights behind him to remind him that the Sylphy is capable of doing so. Driving side by side is dangerous, and he was driving on the right dashed line, so I was worried about his safety. Yes, I did make mistakes, and I accept any fine you give me."
Qin Jixiu is tall and has long legs. He is wearing a black windbreaker and standing in the rustling autumn breeze. When facing the traffic police's inquiries, he slightly bent down, focused on looking at the other person at eye level, occasionally nodded or smiled faintly and moved his lips to explain, without any sign of embarrassment or impatience.
His superior figure was too eye-catching. Passing cars were snapping photos of him with their phones, while others even started recording. The elegant and restrained black Maybach, the handsome man dressed like a manga hero, made the cars, once filled with the resentment of the morning eight, seem to be entering a new era.
Someone posted the video online, and “handsome guy in black windbreaker at car accident scene” immediately became a hot search term.
Qin Jixiu, the protagonist of the video, hadn't realized he was being filmed. He rushed to the company and called for help. His family driver, Old Wu, arrived and greeted him in a low-key black business car.
As the Maybach's shadow grew increasingly blurry in the rearview mirror, Qin Jixiu's tense body finally relaxed, and he slowly opened his slightly numb palms. He wasn't as calm as he appeared. A few years ago, he was driving up a mountain with a friend when his supercar tumbled down the slope and flipped upside down. His survival was truly a miracle.
Having just escaped danger, he instinctively pulled his phone from his pocket and sent a message to someone: [I just had a car accident on the elevated road. As expected, twitching eyelids so early in the morning is not a good sign.]
After a few seconds, Qin Jixiu added: [Today is your first day at work. Do you feel uncomfortable?]
The message he sent at around six in the morning, [Baby, are you awake? I don't know why, but my eyelids are twitching this morning], was lying there all alone.
They had another fight last night.
Qin Jixiu is a 24K, pure gay man who's been clear since puberty that he's only interested in men. He met his current partner while playing games, and they're currently dating online. Qin Jixiu once saw him use a real-life photo as his profile picture on a messaging app. He tentatively asked, and was told it was actually his real self.
The resolution of the photo was not high, so Qin Jixiu saved it immediately.
The other person was much more handsome than he had imagined. He had beautiful bipolar almond-shaped eyes, with eyelids that were naturally divided into two layers only at the end of the eyes. He had a very straight nose and slightly thin lips. He had a fashionable hairstyle with a slightly parted lid and wore a simple black T-shirt, giving off a masculine vibe.
Qin Jixiu is just an ordinary man, but he likes this style.
His online love interest was named Ye Ting, three years his junior. Four months earlier, Ye Ting had completed graduate school in Country M and returned to his hometown of Lincheng. Feeling more established, Qin Jixiu naturally proposed meeting Ye Ting in person. They were on a voice call at the time, and Qin Jixiu couldn't see his expression, judging only by his tone. Ye Ting was momentarily perplexed. Ye Ting bluntly declined, citing the distance between their cities as the reason.
In fact, it is not far at all. It only takes two and a half hours to drive from Jiangcheng to Lincheng. Moreover, Qin Jixiu said at the time that he could give up his job in Jiangcheng for him, or even completely move to another city to live, but Ye Ting was unmoved.
Ye Ting has been treating him coldly during this period, but Qin Jixiu couldn't bear to think too much about it. Who made him like Ye Ting so much?
Two and a half years of love can't just be let go, so not only won't he dwell on it, he'll also make excuses for Ye Ting in his heart. Maybe Ye Ting really has his reasons? If he gave up everything to pursue his career in Lincheng as promised, Ye Ting would feel sorry for him, would feel pressured, and perhaps even embarrassed in future arguments because he was the one being pursued. Ye Ting certainly wouldn't give up the family business he was destined to inherit, so Qin Jixiu was particularly understanding, even though such reasons seemed completely flawed to anyone with a discerning eye.
Thinking of this, Qin Jixiu closed his eyes tiredly.
When he arrived at the meeting room, his subordinates from the Human Resources Department were waiting for him. Qin Jixiu briefly explained why he was late and nodded to the head of the Human Resources Department.
Minister Xu continued, "Boss Qin, this is our plan for this autumn recruitment..."
Zhengfeng was originally the foundation built by several generations of his Qin family with blood and sweat. Later, the person in charge of the Qin family, Qin Jixiu's grandfather, opened up a separate section in order to cultivate him, the only son of the Qin family who lost his mother at a young age. He also gave him the century-old brand "Zhengfeng" unconditionally, which led to the establishment of the current Zhengfeng Group.
Jiangcheng is full of famous schools and is home to a wealth of talented people.
After listening to the report from the never-dilutioned female director, Qin Jixiu immediately grasped the work flow. He nodded in affirmation, then made a few requests: "Arrange for someone to confirm presentation and interview times with the three universities in advance. The information in the company brochure is outdated, so the data needs to be updated. I guarantee the salary, and I'll back it up. If we find an exceptional candidate who's a year away from graduation, we can offer them an early offer, but we have to ensure they're retained. Also, Director Xu will pick a school, and if time permits, I'll go there and participate in the interview process."
"Okay, Mr. Qin, then I will connect you with F University and report to you separately when the time is set." The female director's name is Xu Ying. Because F University is Qin Jixiu's alma mater, she was bold enough to finalize the decision directly.
Qin Jixiu naturally had no objection and nodded to adjourn the meeting.
The atmosphere at work relaxed at this moment, and suddenly a gossipy and eager male voice came from the corner of the conference room: "Boss Qin, is that you in the video that's going viral online?"
Qin Jixiu was a little surprised when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What video?"
The person who spoke was a young man. Qin Jixiu couldn't remember his name. He just saw him jogging over like a gust of wind and respectfully handing over his cell phone, which was still warm. It was obvious that he had been slacking off during the meeting just now.
Qin Jixiu generously didn't pursue the matter and stared down at his phone.
This video, which had suddenly brought spring to the earth, had left Qin Jixiu speechless. The video had a lot of views, and comments were flying everywhere. Qin Jixiu was 28 years old and still in touch with the times, so he could understand everything in the comments, which was actually quite scary.
If I were to marry a man like this, I would be willing to do so even if it meant riding in a Maybach.
[My life has gotten better after meeting this kind of top-notch man]
[Curse you all for talking like this]
[What are you saying, opening and closing your little mouth? I just want to kiss you.]
The comments section was even more exaggerated, with extremely vulgar words. Qin Jixiu saw a comment that said, "It doesn't look like there's a free period. Let's go, sisters." He groaned inwardly, feeling that the world was going downhill.
Scrolling further, he was surprised to find that a personal photo of himself was openly displayed in the comment section. If these subordinates had not been present, he would have almost jumped up from his chair.
Nowadays, netizens’ internet speed is still too fast.
Qin Jixiu recognized that it was the only photo he had ever posted on this APP. He had a good friend who worked in the clothing design industry. He coaxed and tricked him into helping him try on the gray vertical striped three-piece suit in the photo. That day, he specially combed his hair back and carefully trimmed his eyebrows.
In the photo, he sits casually on the dark wooden floor, his back leaning lazily against the wall. One long leg is stretched out, the other casually bent. His hand, adorned with a priceless watch, rests casually on his bent knee, the veins on the back of his hand clearly bulging.
He raised his chin slightly, revealing his sharp jawline, and his eyes dropped from top to bottom, giving the camera a look down that was soaked in boredom.
Qin Jixiu posted this photo not to show off his handsomeness in all aspects, but to support his friend.
The caption in the comment section was straightforward and accurate: "This one is even daddy-level."
Qin Jixiu clicked on more than 2,000 replies, almost all of which were tagged to relatives and friends, interspersed with a few shameless words of "Dad".
Qin Jixiu took a deep breath unconsciously, and subconsciously clicked on his personal background to destroy the photos, but accidentally entered an unfamiliar interface.
“A big, bloody rooster”…Who is this?
The person who had just handed him the phone whispered a timely reminder: "Boss Qin, that's... my phone."
"Yeah." He returned the phone to its owner. He had been using his account himself, monitoring negative company-related public opinion and the latest news. In the age of big data, online reviews can sometimes determine a company's survival.
The number of messages on his personal account had reached its upper limit and the number hadn't moved. He didn't even click on it and went straight to the photo from two years ago that didn't even have any music. Just as his finger was about to touch the delete key, several people in the meeting room uttered "Eh" in unison, trying to stop him.
Qin Jixiu paused and raised his head.
"how?"
At this time, Xu Ying was pushed forward by several people.
She cleared her throat somewhat deliberately.
"Mr. Qin, don't miss out on this unexpected traffic. You can try to manage this account from now on, posting products, giving out lucky draws, etc. You have such a great image, more pleasing to the eye than male celebrities. If there is a product launch in the future, you stand on the stage and you will charm everyone, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Xu Ying's words really touched everyone's heart, and everyone agreed.
Qin Jixiu had heard this kind of talk since he was little. He had perfectly inherited his parents' looks, and everyone who saw him couldn't help but compliment him. But excessive exposure had its pros and cons. He rubbed his unconsciously raised brows and finally compromised.
"What prize do you want?"
The conference room suddenly became lively.
"Ahhhh I need air conditioning!"
"Washing machine, our washing machine is the best!"
"I want a large TV so I can stay home with my girlfriend and watch horror movies every day after work..."
"All right, all right."
Qin Jixiu smiled. But the big TV was out of the question. Who could have asked this person to not only slack off during the meeting and watch short videos, but also to show affection by kissing him while he was arguing with his partner?
The crowd dispersed, and Qin Jixiu's smile gradually faded. Ye Ting still didn't reply to his message.
never mind……
Just treat it as a child throwing a tantrum.
That night, after he returned home from a social event and changed into his home clothes, the first person he thought of was Ye Ting. He didn't mind that he was being treated coldly by someone he liked.
[Baby, are you off work yet? Have you had dinner yet? Want a midnight snack? Do you want me to order some takeout?]
He thought that this message would fall on deaf ears, but to his surprise, Ye Ting responded to his greetings quickly this time.
[have eaten. ]
Qin Jixiu just raised the corner of his lips slightly when Ye Ting's next message came.
[You're quite wealthy, can you lend me 200,000 yuan? I need it urgently.]
