Except for the wedding, this was the first time that Xiao Bingyang and Qin Chun appeared together in public. The gazes around them gathered furtively, as if everyone couldn't restrain their curiosity and wanted to watch the drama of this wealthy plastic couple.
Qin Chun tried to ignore these strange gazes and wore a formulaic smile on the corner of her mouth. She walked through the crowd with Xiao Bingyang.
With Xiao Bingyang by her side, the atmosphere around her was obviously different. The number of people who took the initiative to come over and socialize increased exponentially from single digits. There was obvious goodwill in their words, giving people an illusion of being surrounded by stars.
Qin Chun naturally understood that this was just relying on the might of others. But she really needed this kind of support now. It could to a certain extent make the rumor of Qin Yuan Group's capital chain crisis disappear.
After socializing for a while, Xiao Bingyang was invited by Chairman Dong to discuss business. Qin Chun was finally relieved and returned to that corner again. Just as she was about to eat something to fill her stomach, someone hurried over and sat down opposite her. Bluntly greeting, "Sister-in-law, I'll take a breather here. This socializing is really tiring. Everyone is pretending to be decent. But behind them, aren't there mistresses one after another? Hugging left and right. All routines."
This person was dressed fashionably, wearing a wine-red casual outfit and the same color dad shoes, which was out of place with the surrounding formal business atmosphere.
Qin Chun frowned slightly. "Excuse me, who are you?"
This person suddenly realized. "Oh, look at my carelessness. Let me formally introduce myself. I am Zheng Huai, the cousin of Zheng Keji, the apprentice of Brother Xiao. Currently working in the investment department of Chengfeng Group headquarters. A future investor."
This tone is really big. Maybe not an investor, but a braggart can be reserved.
Qin Chun smiled and didn't expose his bragging. "Then I wish you achieve your wish soon."
"Sister-in-law, I heard that you are a top student in the finance department of Anzhou University. You also went to the United States for an exchange because you won an award in a venture capital competition." Zheng Huai asked enthusiastically. "Help me. Pick one. Which of these three projects is more promising?"
As he spoke, he took a furtive look around. Not seeing Xiao Bingyang, he then took out the tablet from his bag and handed it to Qin Chun. Grinding his teeth, he said, "I have to hand in my assignment tomorrow. The female devil said that if I can pick the right one, I can have two days off. Otherwise, I will have to work overtime during the Spring Festival."
Qin Chun finally understood. This big boy dressed like a peacock was actually a young playboy who didn't study hard.
She took it and glanced at it casually. The three PPTs on it should be famous cases from before with some key information hidden and financial statements attached. It was a very typical investment teaching.
The person who made this PPT should have put in effort to seriously teach Zheng Huai. But Zheng Huai didn't appreciate it and came to cheat here with her.
"Which one did you choose?" Qin Chun guessed. "Number one?"
Zheng Huai widened his eyes in surprise. "How do you know?"
"Number one has the highest sales volume. The profit in recent years is also quite considerable." Qin Chun pointed to the financial statements.
"Yes, yes. Investment companies are for making money. Of course, the higher the profit, the better." Zheng Huai ground his teeth. "But when I think about it carefully, the female devil definitely wouldn't give me such an easy question. There must be some trap. So I want to find someone to help me take a look."
"In addition to the absolute value of profit, a more important indicator for selecting investment targets is the profit growth rate. For example, although some projects are currently losing money, their profit growth rate is very astonishing and the prospects are promising. Investment is about expectations. Project number one has stable profits. The upper limit is visible to the naked eye. It is recommended not to choose it." Qin Chun returned the tablet to him. "I can't help you with anything else. You'd better go back and study it carefully, make a comprehensive comparison, and then hand in your assignment."
Zheng Huai was confused. Scratched his head. Just as he was about to continue asking, someone interrupted. "Miss Qin, is Taohuayuan Town a good project like the former?"
Qin Chun suddenly turned around. She saw a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties standing behind the sofa. Wearing frameless glasses. Gentle and refined. Looking at her with great interest.
"Who are you..." Qin Chun didn't know this person. For a moment, she didn't know if he was being kind or malicious. She hesitated and asked.
The middle-aged man took out a business card from his bag and handed it over. "Yu Baiqing."
This name was very strange. Qin Chun couldn't help but glance at the business card suspiciously.
Bailong Education Group.
Something flashed through her mind. Her heart pounded wildly.
It's really like looking everywhere but finding it without any effort.
-
The annual meeting officially began. Entrepreneurs and financiers attending the meeting all took their seats one by one. The chairman and government officials on the stage gave speeches. The scene was grand and enthusiastic.
Xiao Bingyang was sitting in the VIP seat at the front. Listlessly listening. But his gaze was scanning around. Originally, he had left a seat for Qin Chun beside him. But when it was time, Qin Chun was nowhere to be seen.
Originally, his business trip in Beizhou would end on the weekend. Coincidentally, the chamber of commerce invited him to attend the annual meeting. Plus, he said last week that he would come back early. So he simply asked his subordinates to rearrange things and returned to Anzhou two days earlier.
For some reason, when he saw Qin Chun in the banquet hall just now, his mood seemed a bit subtle. Especially after hearing that sentence.
"Who made me like him?"
Although he had long guessed that Qin Chun had a crush on him, hearing this fact from Qin Chun's mouth seemed a bit different. So much so that Qin Chun's hasty denial later seemed cute.
A figure flashed. Someone sat down in the empty seat beside him.
Xiao Bingyang's face darkened. Just as he was about to drive the person away, he took a closer look. It was actually Zheng Huai.
"What are you doing sitting here?" he asked unhappily.
"If sister-in-law isn't here, can't I, as your younger brother, sit here?" Zheng Huai said resentfully. "Brother, you are being unfair."
"Weren't you chatting with her just now?" Xiao Bingyang remembered. "Where did she go?"
"She went outside to talk business. Oh, by the way." Zheng Huai glanced at Xiao Bingyang's expression and added. "It's a very knowledgeable cultural person. He is also very handsome."
Xiao Bingyang glanced at him. "So. Then you will continue to clean next week."
"No, no, brother." Zheng Huai smiled ingratiatingly. "That person is not as young as you. Nor as handsome as you. And definitely not as rich as you. Compared to you, he is instantly crushed. Sister-in-law has excellent taste. Except for you, she definitely won't like anyone else. It's impossible to have a change of heart."
Xiao Bingyang's expression eased a little. "You know how to talk."
There were many procedures at the annual meeting. Along with awarding prizes and drawing lots. It didn't end until 9:30. Xiao Bingyang didn't wait for Qin Chun to come back. So he had to call her.
The phone was connected. Before he could speak, Qin Chun's formulaic voice rang out. "Hello, who is this?"
Xiao Bingyang was stunned. Didn't Qin Chun save his number?
"It's me." he said in a deep voice.
"Oh, it's you." Qin Chun realized. "I won't go back to Lichang. I will go home directly later."
Xiao Bingyang was a little unhappy. "Who are you talking business with?"
"Yu Baiqing. From Bailong Education Group."
Xiao Bingyang was about to ask more. The receiver emitted a "beep beep" sound. Qin Chun had hung up the phone.
It was so late. A woman was still alone talking business with a man. Why didn't she have any sense of self-protection?
Xiao Bingyang frowned tightly.
The driver had already driven the car to the hotel entrance. Xiao Bingyang had to get in the car.
Sitting in the back seat and closing his eyes to rest for a moment. He couldn't resist. He took out his phone and searched for that strange name and company.
There wasn't much news about the company. The group had just been established for a year. The scale was also average. With a registered capital of ten million. But when searching for Yu Baiqing, a large number of entries popped up. He was actually very famous in the education field. Having won various honorary titles such as one of the top ten famous principals in the country, an innovative education manager, and an outstanding contribution award in the city. Two years ago, he left the public education system and went to the United States alone for exchange and research. After returning, he established Bailong Education Group. Later, he disappeared from the public media's sight.
In this way, there seemed to be no safety problem. But he didn't know what business Qin Chun wanted to talk about with this person. You should know that the education and training industry is being severely cracked down on now. Everyone wants to jump out of this industry. Is there still someone jumping into this fire pit?
There was a bit of traffic on the road. There was a traffic accident on the viaduct. The car started and stopped. When Xiao Bingyang returned home, Qin Chun was already taking a bath in the bathroom. Through the glass door, the sound of "rushing" water and a cheerful tune could be heard.
It could be heard that Qin Chun was in a very good mood.
Somehow, Xiao Bingyang's mood also inexplicably improved.
After getting on the bed, after a while, Qin Chun came out of the bathroom. She was wearing a silk nightgown. The thin fabric adhered to her skin closely, outlining her proud figure. The collar was slightly open. The scenery of the mountains was faintly visible. The originally snow-white skin seemed to still have a layer of shallow pink due to the steam.
Xiao Bingyang suddenly felt that the floor heating at home was a bit too hot.
The left side of the bed sank. A faint fragrance lingered. He unconsciously turned slightly to smell it more clearly. And even more wanted to taste the delicious fragrance in person...
A few strands of hair brushed across his cheek. Qin Chun suddenly turned around. The two looked at each other. Xiao Bingyang's lips were only a few centimeters away from her.
Xiao Bingyang paused and waited with bated breath.
In such an excellent opportunity and such a good atmosphere, would Qin Chun kiss him? If she really wanted to kiss, it wouldn't be impossible.
"You move over a bit." Qin Chun motioned. "It's a bit hot when we are too close."
Xiao Bingyang was silent for a moment. With a hint of dissatisfaction, he hinted. "I feel a bit cold."
"Is the quilt too short?" Qin Chun was exactly what she wanted. Immediately suggesting. "Or bring the quilt from the guest room and cover you separately..."
"No need." Xiao Bingyang lay down with a face. "I'm not afraid of the cold."
