Chapter 1271 Graduation season, their respective futures
The matter between Qin Qian and Tan Hui was over, which made Zhou Chen relieved. At least this side mission of 'Qin Qian's Regret' has solved the biggest variable, and this mission is most likely completed.
In addition, he had long since caught up with Wang Ying and became boyfriend and girlfriend with her. Naturally, the first side mission of "College Love" was completed.
Both side tasks are almost completed, which is naturally something to be happy about.
Time came to summer, and Zhou Chen also learned something from Wang Ying. When Xiao Qianxi participated in Huannu, her family background was exposed. In grief, she chose to withdraw from the competition and withdrew from Huannu's final competition.
finals.
Wang Ying also heard it from Xu Lin's mouth and knew how desperate and painful Xiao Qianxi was at that time.
She also understood how painful it would be for a person with such a strong self-esteem like Xiao Qianxi, after this incident was revealed, and how he would be on pins and needles, with thorns in his back.
I have to say that there are so many smart people in the entertainment industry, and it is also really chaotic. There are so many calculations in a small talent show.
Compared with those people, the current Xiao Qianxi may be smart, capable and talented, but in terms of scheming and ruthlessness, there is really a big difference.
Zhou Chen was very indifferent to this.
"This is her own choice. You can't have your cake and eat it too. In fact, after she gained a lot of exposure, she should have expected that something like this would happen. Even if Lin Jingyan hadn't exposed it, she would have been exposed by others.
It's just a matter of time before people break out."
"Having said that, being exposed at the game was a really big blow to her."
Wang Ying looks cold, but in fact she is very enthusiastic about her friends. After all, she and Xiao Qianxi have lived in the same dormitory for more than three years, and they have a very good relationship with each other, so she is also really
I feel happy and sad for Xiao Qian.
"She still doesn't understand what the entertainment industry is like."
For the entertainment industry, Xiao Qianxi's exposure is nothing at all. More than ten years later, it may not even be trending.
That is to say, Xiao Qianxi, who was just starting out and had no experience, would be hit. If it were another artist, not only would he not feel sad, but he would have to thank Lin Jingyan for the attention he brought.
For an artist, it is best if he can become popular, no matter if he is black or red or something else.
Wang Ying suddenly looked at Zhou Chen seriously and said in a gentle tone: "I just realized now that compared to Qian Xi and He Xiaozhou, we are really lucky."
Yes, they have different starting points from Xiao Qianxi. She can devote herself to falling in love with Zhou Chen without worrying about life. But Xiao Qianxi and He Xiaozhou are different. Their relationship is not just love, they also need to consider life.
, think about the future, think about a lot.
So she wasn't proud of her good family before, but now, she really feels lucky. If she were in the same situation as Xiao Qianxi, she felt that she might not be able to do better than Xiao Qianxi.
Zhou Chen hugged Wang Ying and said softly: "Luck does exist, but whether you are happy or not depends more on whether you can be satisfied."
He has lived a long life, so he has seen a lot. Everyone has a different concept and understanding of happiness. Rich people can indeed have a lot of happiness, but it is not absolute. Poor people may not have no happiness.
What's more, people like He Xiaozhou and Xiao Qianxi, except for their poor family conditions, are among the best in the country in other aspects.
Both of them graduated from prestigious universities, one studied at Stanford University, and the other had completed his postgraduate studies. They are both in good condition, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and more importantly, they work very hard.
In the future, those who graduate will definitely be industry elites and high-end talents, and their future achievements will definitely not be bad.
Not to mention anything else, these are the ones that have really surpassed more than 90% of the people in the country.
If they just follow the steps step by step and slowly learn and work, their lives will definitely not be bad and they will definitely be very happy.
This is also what He Xiaozhou longs for, but unfortunately, this is not what Xiao Qianxi wants. What Xiao Qianxi wants more is to transcend class and realize his ambition by taking shortcuts.
But there are not so many shortcuts in the world, and even if there are, most of them come with a price.
Although Xiao Qianxi has now retired from the competition and is about to give up the entertainment industry, to be honest, Zhou Chen feels that it is not that simple. For an ambitious person who wants to cross the class, after seeing the feasting entertainment industry, it is probably very difficult.
It is difficult to return to the original intention.
After all, they are good friends who have known each other for many years. Although Zhou Chen didn't want to meddle in other people's business, he still couldn't bear to see He Xiaozhou suffer the same sadness as in the TV plot again.
To be honest, if Xiao Qianxi hadn't been diagnosed with terminal gastric cancer in the plot, she would never have been able to turn back.
It is indeed bad to say that she is unlucky, but it is also really good to say that she is lucky, because even though she was already so unbearable, He Xiaozhou still stood up for her in the end, stayed with her through the last moments of her life, and also helped her
She raised her because she selfishly wanted to give birth to a daughter.
After all, He Xiaozhou was a child of his, so he thought he might as well help if he could. Anyway, it was just something that went smoothly.
"I think it's a good thing that Xiao Qianxi can withdraw from the competition. The entertainment industry is really not a good place. If she still has such thoughts, you still have to persuade her."
"I understand what you mean. I told He Xiaozhou when we had dinner together before, but you know who he is. He is too accommodating to Qian Xi and will not object at all. Moreover, Qian Xi's character is difficult to
To persuade, we can only let Xu Lin and Qiao Qiao follow suit."
"I hope this experience will make her see clearly, continue to take the TOEFL test, and strive to study here after the summer. As long as she can be with Xiaozhou, I think the problem should not be big."
Zhou Chen chatted with Wang Ying for a while, and then talked about themselves.
"We're going on vacation soon, are you really sure you won't go back?"
"Well, I'm not going back. There's nothing to do when I go back. It's better to stay. I can have more time to read and study. I can also spend time with your grandparents and go shopping with your grandma."
Zhou Chen suddenly smiled and said: "I really envy you. Grandma treats you better than she treats me now. You don't have time to go back, and she even comes here to see you. I didn't get this kind of treatment when I was in college."
.”
Wang Ying said angrily: "That's not because of you."
"Yes, so, you are destined to be with me in this life. If we can't be together, my grandma will probably chop me down."
Wang Ying was also amused, and then hugged Zhou Chen's arm tightly.
"You have already said that I am destined to be with you in this life, so there is nothing wrong with that."
"Yes, no matter what happens, it can't change our determination to be together."
The two leaned together quietly for a long time, and Wang Ying suddenly remembered something.
"Xu Lin and Qiao Qiao will get their diplomas soon, right? I have to call Qin Chuan and ask him to bring Xu Lin a bouquet of flowers for me. Otherwise, everyone else has flowers, but she doesn't. It would be too ugly."
Already."
"Yes, we will go to San Antonio in a few days."
"What are you doing there?"
"Watch the NBA Finals and spend two days there."
"OK."
…………
It is the graduation season of Beiqing University. This year's senior graduates, whether they are in school or doing internships in various places, are all returning to campus at this time.
Xie Qiao, Xu Lin and Xiao Qianxi, the three fresh graduates, also graduated, so they all returned to school with excitement and reluctance.
Xie Qiao arrived at the school early, and she also brought her best friend Lu Qianran with her. They walked all the way into the campus from the school gate.
Xie Qiao walked and walked, looking at these familiar places in the school. This was the place where she had lived and studied for four years, and she still had deep feelings for it.
Lu Qianran also graduated this year, but she is from the film school and has nothing to do today, so she came over with Xie Qiao to help clean up.
It took the two of them a long time to arrive at the girls' dormitory where they had lived for four years.
I saw a lot of things placed at the door of each dormitory building, including luggage, garbage, and many books...
After graduation today, many people in their building will leave this school forever, and not long after, there will be a new batch of freshmen who are looking forward to this place.
Xie Qiao had already put on her bachelor's uniform and walked with Lu Qianran into Dormitory 213, where she had lived for nearly four years.
When she walked into the dormitory, her eyes turned red uncontrollably. Looking at every corner here, countless memories came to her mind.
When she saw the medicine in the plastic bag in the cabinet, she suddenly smiled.
"I still remember that this medicine was given by Zhou Chen. In the fall of my sophomore year, we forgot to close the windows in our dormitory at night. There were four people in the dormitory, and three of them were sick. Only Wang Ying was fine. She called her boyfriend on the phone.
Zhou Chen bought us such a big bag of medicine, but I didn’t expect that after several years, we still haven’t finished the medicine.”
Lu Qianran said with a smile: "That means the average physical fitness of each person in your dormitory is still very good."
"Yes, they are all good."
Xie Qiao walked inside again and saw the tape she had prepared when she was going to confess to He Xiaozhou.
The dormitory was quite messy, with many test papers scattered around, but she stayed in such a messy place for a long time, and finally left with Lu Qianran with a look of reluctance.
Soon, she joined Xu Lin and Xiao Qianxi. The three of them were all wearing bachelor's uniforms and standing together. Lu Qianran was playing with the camera, preparing to take pictures of them.
"Quick, help us take two more pictures."
Lu Qianran was facing the camera, and when the three of them were smiling, she was about to take a photo, but suddenly she put down her phone again.
"No, let me just say that the feng shui of your dormitory is wrong, right? Those of you who have boyfriends, those of you who don't have boyfriends, don't even have anyone to send flowers?"
These words immediately attracted angry and dissatisfied comments from Xie Qiao and the others.
"You can take pictures if you are asked. Who is going to talk to you about Feng Shui?"
"That's right, there's so much nonsense, hurry up, hurry up and shoot."
"Hurry up……"
The three of them urged and immediately took up their poses, but Lu Qianran was a very particular person. She just felt that there were no flowers and no atmosphere, so she had to go find someone to borrow flowers. This made Xie Qiao and the other two furious, and they dragged her with all their strength.
She, she was not allowed to go and she had to borrow flowers to take a photo. It was so embarrassing.
Just as a few people were tugging about it, someone suddenly came over holding three bouquets of flowers.
"I'm coming."
Several people turned around and saw that the person coming was Qin Chuan, and they immediately smiled.
Qin Chuan came over with three bouquets of flowers and first handed one to Xiao Qianxi.
"Qianxi, Xiaozhou asked me to bring this to you. He asked me to tell you that he..."
Xiao Qianxi looked at Qin Chuan expectantly, but Qin Chuan blinked and thought for a while, and finally scratched his head and said: "I forgot what he asked me to say. You can ask him yourself when you chat with him later.
"
This made Xiao Qianxi depressed: "How could I forget this?"
Qin Chuan handed another bouquet of flowers to Xu Lin and said, "Wang Ying asked me to give this to you. She said that even if you graduate a hundred times in your life, no one will give you flowers."
"It's so unnecessary. Who cares about these flowers?"
Xu Lin curled her lips and complained, but the smile on her face betrayed her good mood at this time.
After the last bouquet, Qin Chuan stood in front of Xie Qiao, but before he could say anything, Lu Qianran spoke first.
"Yang Cheng asked you to give this flower to Qiao Qiao, right?"
Qin Chuan immediately looked back and glared at Lu Qianran with murderous intent.
"Will Xiao Yang ask me to do something? What a brain."
Then he turned to look at Xie Qiao, who looked at him cautiously and expectantly.
"I gave this to you. Everyone else has it but you don't have it. Wouldn't it be very shameful?"
Although it was not what he expected, Xie Qiao still took the flower with a smile.
Now that they have flowers, the photoshoot will naturally go smoothly. Lu Qianran turned into a photography master and started taking photos for them. Qin Chuan also participated in it and took many photos together.
After completing the graduation ceremony, the five of them went to a restaurant in front of the school for dinner.
Sitting in the familiar private room, except for Lu Qianran, the other four people had complicated expressions.
"The last time we had dinner here was before Zhou Chen and Wang Ying went abroad. More than three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Time flies so fast."
"Yes, Xiao Zhou was also here earlier."
"Wang Ying also sent me a message saying that she won't be back during the summer vacation. I really don't know when I will see her next."
"The four of us in the dormitory have lived together for so long. Wang Ying has gone abroad and we have graduated now. We all have to go our separate ways. I really don't know when we will get together next time."
The joy of graduation did not last long. Now, sitting behind the hotel, everyone is feeling a little downcast.
Lu Qianran couldn't stand it anymore and said loudly: "Okay, let's see how dejected you all look. Today is your graduation, be happy."
Qin Chuan also cheered: "Lu Daxian is right. Why do you make such a happy day so sad? Just be happy."
With the cooperation of Qin Chuan and Lu Qianran, Xie Qiao and the others quickly got rid of their decadent mood and started eating and drinking happily.
It's different from the TV plot. Because of Zhou Chen's help, nothing happened to Qin Qian and Tan Hui. Naturally, Qin Chuan didn't need to go to Shanghai. Xie Qiao didn't lose her job opportunity at Nokia. Now she has become a full-time employee at Nokia.
, became a formal employee of Nokia.
Although she is still far from the urban white-collar woman she expected, for herself, she is already very satisfied.
Xu Lin is still working as an editor, but she also relies on her own efforts to remove the word "intern". Like Xie Qiao, she has become a formal editor. She has even begun to change towards a reporter, and has initially developed the skills to become an entertainment reporter.
Foundation.
Xiao Qianxi has devoted herself to studying since the last time Huannu withdrew from the competition, and applied for TOEFL and GRE. She just passed it not long ago. She has contacted He Xiaozhou and is happily preparing to go to the United States to reunite with He Xiaozhou.
Everyone was happy today, so they all drank beer. Xu Lin raised his glass.
"After today, everyone will go their separate ways and be busy with their own work. Qiaoqiao and Qianxi, I wish you a bright future and smooth sailing."
Xie Qiao and Xiao Qianxi also congratulated Xu Lin.
"Xu Lin, Qianxi is different from us. The two of us are starting to work now, but Qianxi will soon go to the United States to find Brother Xiaochuan. She will study abroad with Brother Xiaochuan, stay and fly together, I don't know how happy I am."
Faced with Xie Qiao's teasing, Xiao Qianxi said cheerfully: "No way."
"Not yet. Looking at the smile on your face, I think you want to fly to Brother Xiaochuan right now, right?"
Xu Lin also suddenly realized: "According to this, when Qianxi goes to the United States, not only can she stay and fly with He Xiaozhou, but she can also be classmates with Wang Ying. In this case, Qiaoqiao and I are in the capital, Qianxi
We are now in the United States with Wang Ying."
Qin Chuan interjected: "What's good about America, I think it's better for us. According to me, Qianxi, after you and Xiaochuan study abroad, you still return to China to develop. With so many of us together, we can still take care of each other."
, we can still get together on our days off, just like when we were in college, how lively and happy it would be.”
Xie Qiao raised his hand in agreement: "I agree, I agree, not only Qianxi and Brother Xiaochuan, but also if Zhou Chen and Wang Ying come back, it would be even better."
Lu Qianran joked: "I think we should add Yang Cheng."
Qin Chuan looked disdainful: "Unfortunately, why are you mentioning Xiao Yang? He is not from the same family as us. We are not familiar with him."
That night, several people drank a lot of wine and then separated.
Xu Lin and Xiao Qianxi left together, because Xiao Qianxi is currently living in Xu Lin's house temporarily, and she will leave to study abroad soon, so naturally it will be difficult for her to live in school again.
But she is only staying temporarily, because she is going back to her hometown soon. After saying goodbye to her parents and relatives at home, she will depart from the capital and fly to San Francisco.
Originally, He Xiaozhou said that he would come back to pick her up, but she didn't want He Xiaozhou to waste the air ticket money, so she thought she could do it alone.
Zhou Chen acted as a recommender and helped arrange the matter for Xiao Qianxi to study abroad. He Xiaozhou also called him specifically to ask for his help.
When he learned about this at that time, he was also why Xiaozhou was happy. As long as Xiao Qianxi and He Xiaozhou were together and did not enter the entertainment industry, there was a high probability that they would get together based on their relationship.
During the summer vacation, Zhou Chen took Wang Ying to travel around. They didn't have to fly back and forth at home and abroad, so the two of them spent more time together.
Even during school, sometimes Zhou Chen missed Wang Ying. After work, he would drive to find Wang Ying. The total distance was only a few dozen kilometers. With a driver, it didn't take long to go back and forth.
So for Wang Ying, coming to study at Stanford University is really the wisest choice. Although she can't meet every day like she did at Beiqing University, the frequency of meeting is not low. Compared with the previous separation, which only lasted a month or two.
, I will be so happy in two or three months.
Wang Ying was completely integrated into Zhou Chen's family, as if they had really become a family. In Tao Li's words, if Wang Ying hadn't been in school, she would have wished that Zhou Chen would go to Wang Ying's family to propose marriage now, so that the two families could have a wedding as soon as possible.
Already.
Although Zhou Chen and Wang Ying have been together for several years, in fact, Zhou Chen is only twenty-three years old this year, and Wang Ying is only twenty-two years old, and they are still several months shy of their twenty-third birthday.
In ancient times, people at this age might have had several children, but in modern society, most men and women at this age will not get married.
Over the past few years, Chenxing Capital has been developing quietly, and now it has become quite famous in the San Francisco Bay Area. It has invested in more than 20 companies, most of which are high-quality investments, which has brought a lot of investment to Chenxing Capital.
profit and development.
Some institutions have also valued Chenxing Capital. From Zhou Chen's investment to the current development, the valuation has reached more than 1.8 billion US dollars.
This number may not seem like much, but you must know that Chenxing Capital has only been established for a few years, and it is Zhou Chen's sole proprietorship. Zhou Chen's actual investment is less than US$300 million.
In less than five years, the investment went from less than 300 million to a valuation of nearly 2 billion. This has already increased several times.
And Chenxing Capital is just a company under Zhou Chen's name. He also has Chenxing Pharmaceutical. After another year, Chenxing Pharmaceutical has launched two new drugs. Compared with the first time, the two new drugs released this time,
Sales have increased dramatically.
Especially after Zhou Chen introduced Chenxing Pharmaceutical into the country through connections in Shanghai, it developed rapidly.
In fact, it is not easy for foreign companies to sell drugs in China. However, as a Chinese, Zhou Chen still has certain advantages, plus he has connections in Shanghai.
Of course, the most important thing is that it sells cheaply. Excluding various taxes, it is much cheaper than the same type of imported drugs.
The price is cheap and the efficacy is better than similar drugs. It is naturally easy to sell to the country with a huge base.
Of course, this process actually caused a series of disputes within the company, but it didn't matter to Zhou Chen. Sole proprietorships are sometimes so domineering. I am the boss, and I can sell whatever I want.
However, he also knew that the reason why there was not much turmoil in the market was because he sold relatively few drugs. If there were many types of drugs, he would definitely be targeted by similar companies if he still sold them at such a low price.
If he is not strong enough now, he must develop slowly. When he becomes stronger and has stronger capital, he will have fewer worries.
I just don’t know whether his behavior of ‘selling’ medicines at low prices in China meets the standards of the system’s main mission and is helpful to society and the country.
