"Mr. Lin, I am..." Yang Cheng was holding the wine glass and was about to speak, but the other party avoided him like a plague god.
For a moment, Yang Cheng's face became very ugly. In the past, when he participated in this kind of cocktail party, others would fawn over him, but now it's better, he would be disliked even if he touches someone's cold butt.
But Yang Cheng knew that if he wanted to restore the glory of the Yang family, he could only look for money with shame. In fact, the Yang family's industry had not completely collapsed, mainly because the capital chain was broken. As long as he could find money, he would have a chance to make a comeback.
However, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. Without the aura of the eldest young master of the Yang family, others would not bother to pay attention to him at all.
"Isn't that the eldest young master of the Yang family? I looked at him as a arrogant man before, but now he is no longer as good as a chicken but a phoenix that has lost its feathers."
"With the current situation of the Yang family, who would dare to invest money in it? It's so crazy."
Xie Qiao and Xu Lin looked at Yang Cheng running into obstacles, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
"I didn't expect that Yang Cheng would be so humble."
"Yeah, who would have thought that he would have such a day."
At this moment, Yang Cheng's eyes happened to be looking this way, and the three people's eyes intertwined in the air. Yang Cheng's originally fair face immediately turned red. He never thought that he would meet his ex-girlfriend on such an occasion.
Especially Xie Qiao's eyes full of pity were like two sharp blades, piercing his fragile self-esteem.
He is the eldest son of the Yang family, when did it become Xie Qiao's turn to take pity on him?
However, just as Yang Cheng was about to leave, he saw his main target at the reception. After struggling for a long time, Yang Cheng gritted his teeth and forced himself to ignore Xie Qiao's gaze. He held the wine glass and walked toward the center of the crowd with a smiling face.
go.
"Duan Xing, this is the second round of interest rate hikes by the central bank. Does this mean..."
Yang Cheng walked into the crowd and was about to say hello to Duan Xing, but he found a familiar figure that made him grit his teeth.
When Qin Hao saw Yang Cheng coming over, he also frowned.
When everyone saw Qin Hao's expression was different, they subconsciously followed his gaze and immediately understood what was going on.
The news of Qin Hao's collapse of the Yang family's real estate has long spread from Hong Kong to the mainland. Naturally, everyone knows that Qin Hao and the Yang family are not at odds with each other. Now that the down-and-out young master of the Yang family has appeared here, everyone looks like he is in for a good show.
Angry expression.
Only the host of the reception looked unhappy and called his assistant over.
"How do you do things? How can you let that guy named Yang in?"
The assistant's expression changed drastically, and he quickly stopped in front of Yang Cheng: "I'm sorry, sir, this is a private reception, and you don't seem to be on the invitation list. Please leave."
Seeing the target right in front of him, how could Yang Cheng give up so easily: "I have an invitation."
He said and handed the invitation to the other party.
As a result, the assistant didn't even look at it. He tore the invitation in half and said seriously: "Do you still have it?"
Yang Cheng was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The assistant had already called two security guards to take Yang Cheng away.
"Duan Xing, I am Yang Zhenhua's son. Have you forgotten what my grandfather did to you?"
The smile on Duan Xing's face faded, and he looked like he was smiling but not smiling: "Yang Cheng, right? I remember you. I hugged you at your first birthday party. What do you want from me?
?”
"Duan Xing, I want to chat with you alone, is that okay?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes.
However, what Duan Xing said the next second shattered all his hopes.
"Your grandfather and I do have some personal relationships, but the situation of your Yang family does not comply with the loan rules. This is a business matter and cannot be confused, so you should think of other solutions."
When the assistant saw this, he immediately winked at the security guards. The two security guards understood and lifted Yang Cheng up, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Let me go, you bunch of ungrateful bastards..."
When Xie Qiao and Xu Lin saw this scene in the distance, Xu Lin couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, this world of rich people is really cruel."
"Yes, today I finally know what it means to be in a cold world." Xie Qiao nodded in agreement.
Xiao Qianxi has no sympathy for Yang Cheng at all. She hates this kind of unlearned young man. Facts have proved that her vision is right. Without the protection of her family, Yang Cheng is useless.
When Qin Hao came back again, both Xie Qiao and Xu Lin had drunk a little too much.
"The two of them are so drunk, why don't we just stay here and I'll tell Mr. Liang here."
"All right."
That night, after the cocktail party, Qin Hao and the four of them stayed in the guest room of the villa. Although it was a guest room, it was still full. Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were both a little dizzy.
"It's good to have money. Even the guest room is bigger than our living room."
"Isn't that right? This room is probably enough to decorate a building in our hometown."
Xu Lin suddenly said: "Old Qin, when will you get a villa like this so that we can live like rich people?"
Xie Qiao joked: "Old Qin bought a villa and lived in Qianxi. What's wrong with you?"
"We can also take advantage of it occasionally." Xu Lin put his arm on Xie Qiao's shoulder and smiled.
Xiao Qianxi shook her head: "I think living in that house is quite comfortable now. There is no need to buy such a big house. It will be too tiring to clean up."
"Buying a villa now is a good investment. You can consider it. I will ask someone later." Qin Hao said lightly.
After the two left, Xu Lin winked at Xie Qiao and said, "Actually, I just said it casually, just kidding, Lao Qin shouldn't take it seriously, right?"
"Maybe, for us, buying a villa is just a fantasy, but for Lao Qin, it might be the same as eating pancakes."
"Indeed, Lao Qin has become completely developed."
…
On the other side, Yang Cheng was thrown out of the villa directly by the security guards. Not only was he embarrassed, but what was even worse was that the villa was far away from the city. There was no car and it would take at least an hour and a half to walk on two legs. This was not a good thing for a spoiled child.
For Young Master Yang, it was simply impossible.
In the end, Yang Cheng called Yang's mother, and her mother took a car and came to pick him up.
Listening to her son's complaints, Yang's mother sighed helplessly. Her son had offended a person who might play a key role in the resurgence of the Yang family's business in the future.
But when she thought that her son had never been involved in business before, Yang's mother didn't want to be harsh and just comforted him.
"Xiao Cheng, you don't need to worry about business matters. Mom will take care of it. You should just go to school with peace of mind."
Yang Cheng said unhappily: "If you could handle it, I wouldn't be in this situation today. Qin Hao was able to start a business when he was in school. I don't believe that I am worse than him. Mom, if you give me two million, I won't be in this situation."
If you give me three years to start an Internet company, I will definitely catch up with Tesco!"
Seeing her son's high-spirited look, Yang's mother couldn't help but smile bitterly. This silly boy thought it was too easy to start a business.
"Son, let alone two million, even two hundred thousand, my mother can't afford it now."
Yang Cheng's eyes widened when he heard this: "How could this happen? Didn't you still have several million in savings before?"
In the past, two hundred thousand was not enough money for him to pick up a girl.
"One account has been frozen, and now the only account that can be used is only 180,000 yuan." Yang's mother said helplessly.
"One hundred and eighty thousand is enough for what you can do. You can't even build a website structure."
Faced with Yang Cheng's rage, Yang's mother could only comfort her: "It's really not possible. This apartment can be worth hundreds of thousands if sold. Save some money and I'll make sure you graduate from college without any problem."
"What about after I graduate from college? I can't be like those office workers and earn a salary of 18,000 yuan a month, right?" Yang Cheng said dissatisfied.
Mother Yang smiled bitterly. Her son was too whimsical. How could he get a job worth $8,000 after graduating from college?
"I don't care, I want to start a business, you hurry up and find a way to make money for me." When Yang Cheng thought of the pitiful looks in Xie Qiao's eyes, he became very angry. Who is he? Young Master Yang, go work for someone else.
, then it’s not a joke?
Alas, Mother Yang lamented in her heart.
…
Time flies, the spring of 2005 passed quickly, and summer is about to enter.
For the senior students of Beiqing University, this also means that they are about to graduate.
In the study room, Xie Qiao whispered to Xu Lin: "Hey, Xu Lin, have you found an internship unit?"
"Not yet. It was only after graduation that I realized that not only was it difficult to find employment for literature majors, but the salary was also pitifully low. None of the companies I submitted my resume to had a salary of more than 5,000," Xu Lin complained.
After complaining, Xu Lin nudged Xiao Qianxi with his elbow: "Qianxi, what are you going to do after graduation? Should you marry Lao Qin on the spot, have children, and be a full-time wife at home?"
"That's pretty good. How happy a family of three is." Xie Qiao's eyes were filled with stars.
Xiao Qianxi shook her head and said calmly: "I plan to apply for these companies, what do you think?"
"Lenovo, Dell, and Nokia are all high-tech companies. Qianxi, do you want to switch to engineering?" Xie Qiao asked curiously.
"Why do you have to switch to engineering? In the Internet era, not only the shopping methods have changed, but also the publicity model. In the past, publicity only required regular advertisements on TV and shopping malls. But now it is different. Internet marketing will also become a hot topic. This
Science students can’t do the job.”
After Xiao Qianxi finished speaking, Xie Qiao and Xu Lin both looked at her stupidly.
"Is this still the Qianxi we know?"
"Why do I feel that Qian Xi's speaking style just now is very similar to Lao Qin's?"
Xiao Qianxi was angry: "What do you mean, I can't have my own ideas?"
"No, what we mean is that you and Lao Qin are becoming more and more like a couple, and even the tone of voice is almost exactly the same."
After the laughter, Xiao Qianxi said seriously: "Xie Qiao, Xu Lin, you can also consider going in the direction of the Internet. The number of Internet users across the country is increasing day by day, and the future employment prospects are definitely better than other industries."
"Well, that makes sense. Then I'll try investing in an Internet company."
As a result, after a few days, both Xie Qiao and Xu Lin were wilted. Their resumes either came to nothing or were rejected after the first round of interviews, which greatly dampened their confidence.
Xiao Qianxi's situation was slightly better than theirs. The interview with Dell and Nokia was rejected, but the interview with Lenovo entered the second round.
However, just when Xiao Qianxi was actively preparing for the interview, Xie Qiao's best friend Lu Qianran entered Mango TV as an intern, and was assigned to the "Happy Girls" column group as a director. Although she was said to be a director, she was actually a handyman and had to do everything.
"Qianxi, just help me, help me get my head together, please."
When Xu Lin and Xie Qiao heard that they could be on TV, they both encouraged Xiao Qianxi to participate.
"Qianxi, you sing so beautifully, maybe you can even enter the finals."
Xiao Qianxi, however, was not interested: "This is already the second time. There must be many experts. As a half-hearted person like me, I guess it will be good if I can pass two rounds of auditions."
Lu Qianran bowed her hands: "Qianxi, as long as you can pass the first round of auditions, you will be helping me."
Xiao Qianxi was not a person who knew how to refuse, so she finally agreed to Lu Qianran's request.
The early auditions were naturally a piece of cake for Xiao Qianxi. He quickly passed two rounds of auditions and was unanimously recognized by the judges.
At first, Xiao Qianxi just planned to help Lu Qianran get a head start, but as she passed all the tests and entered the main competition, Xiao Qianxi discovered that she actually liked the feeling of standing on the stage and singing.
Moreover, during the competition, Xiao Qianxi suddenly figured out a question. She had no advantage in terms of figure, appearance, temperament, or family background. But if she was famous enough and became a big star, would it be considered an advantage?
As a result, Xiao Qianxi's attitude towards participating in the competition gradually changed from being perfunctory at first to becoming serious. This also gave the judges and the audience the illusion that Xiao Qianxi performed better every time he took the stage than the last time.
The "Happy Girls" competition is actually not a simple singing competition. In contrast, it actually selects national idols.
Audiences like players for various reasons. Some like to be beautiful, some like to have a good voice, and some like to have enough personality. However, the most critical point, which is also the point that determines the popularity of the players, is the "sense of development."
Seeing the players I support grow up little by little and finally win the championship, I feel as if I have also won the championship.
Therefore, Xiao Qianxi attracted a large number of fans during the main stage of the Tianfu Division, and his popularity has remained in the top three.
At first, Xiao Qianxi did not tell Qin Hao that she had participated in the competition and entered the main round. It was not until she entered the top 16 of the Tianfu Division and asked Qin Hao to watch TV that he realized that Xiao Qianxi was already so famous.
.
"Would you dislike me showing up in public?" Xiao Qianxi asked cautiously.
Qin Hao joked: "You think I am some kind of feudal remnant, but I still think that one day you will become a big star, and I will be a soft rice."
"Okay, I'll support you then."
"Then it's a deal. When the time comes, I'll have to eat hard."
Is the entertainment industry turbulent? It also depends on the person. If you want to be popular if you have no background, of course you have to make sacrifices.
As for Xiao Qianxi, with Qin Hao protecting him, who would dare to move? If it doesn't work, just spend money to acquire an entertainment company and support it yourself.
Jack Ma can invite so many Kung Fu superstars to flatter him. In the final analysis, the entertainment industry is still a world where capital is king.
