Chapter 995 A World Where Capital Is King

"Mr. Lin, I am..." Yang Cheng was holding the wine glass and was about to speak to him, 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 will 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 dares to invest money in it is so imaginative."

Xie Qiao and Xu Lin looked at Yang Cheng running into obstacles, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

"I didn't expect Yang Cheng to be so groveling."

"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 towards 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 when he found a familiar figure that made him grit his teeth.

When Qin Hao saw Yang Cheng approaching, 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 that Qin Hao had brought down the Yang family real estate had long spread from Hong Kong to the mainland. Naturally, everyone knew that Qin Hao and the Yang family were not at odds with each other. Now that the down-and-out young master of the Yang family appeared here, everyone looked like they were in for a good show. expression.

Only the host of the reception looked unhappy and called the assistant next to him.

"How do you do things? How can you let that kid 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. Do you have anything to do with 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 ways."

Upon seeing this, the assistant 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 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 master. 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."

"That's right. I guess this room is 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 fun are you having?"

"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 now is quite comfortable. 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. I was joking. Old 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 is completely developed."

…

On the other side, Yang Cheng was thrown out of the villa 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. For Young Master Yang, it was simply impossible.

In the end, Yang Cheng called Yang's mother, who took a car and picked him up.

Listening to her son's complaints, Yang's mother sighed helplessly. Her son had offended someone 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 could 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 will do the same." 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 starting a business was too simple.

"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 dollars is enough for what, I 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 Xie Qiao's and others' pity eyes, he became very angry. Who is he? Young Master Yang, if you go work for someone else, you won’t make people laugh to death?

Alas, Yang’s mother 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. I didn't know until I graduated. It turns out that not only is it difficult for our literature majors to find jobs, but the wages are 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 pushed Xiao Qianxi with his elbow: "Qianxi, what are you going to do after graduation? Are you going to 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, are you planning 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 the focus. This Science students can’t do the job.”

After Xiao Qianxi finished speaking, Xie Qiao and Xu Lin 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 relying on 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 interviews with Dell and Nokia were rejected, but the interview with Lenovo entered the second round.

However, just as 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. She was said to be a director, but she was actually a handyman and had to do everything.

"Qianxi, please help me. Please 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 was not interested: "This is already the second session, there must be many experts. I am a mediocre person, I guess it will be good if I can pass two rounds of auditions."

Lu Qianran bowed with both hands: "Qianxi, as long as you can pass the first round of auditions, it will be considered as helping me."

Xiao Qianxi was not a person who knew how to refuse, and finally agreed to Lu Qianran's request.

The early auditions were naturally a piece of cake for Xiao Qianxi. She quickly passed two rounds of auditions and was unanimously recognized by the judges.

At first, Xiao Qianxi just wanted to help Lu Qianran get a head, but as she passed all the levels and entered the main competition, Xiao Qianxi found that she actually liked the feeling of standing on the stage and singing.

In addition, during the competition, Xiao Qianxi suddenly figured out a problem. She had no advantages in terms of figure, appearance, temperament, and family background, but if she was famous enough and became a big star, would it be an advantage?

Therefore, Xiao Qianxi's attitude towards the competition gradually changed from the initial perfunctory attitude to a serious attitude, which also gave the judges and the audience an illusion that Xiao Qianxi's performance was better than the last time every time she went on stage.

"Happy Girls" is not a simple singing competition. In contrast, it actually selects national idols.

There are various reasons why the audience likes contestants. Some like beautiful, some like good voice conditions, and some like enough personality. However, the most critical point, which also determines the popularity of contestants, is the "sense of cultivation".

Watching the contestants you support grow up little by little and finally win the championship, it feels like you have won the championship yourself.

Therefore, Xiao Qianxi attracted a large number of fans in the Tianfu competition stage, and her popularity has always remained in the top three.

At the beginning, Xiao Qianxi did not tell Qin Hao that she participated in the competition and entered the competition. It was not until she entered the top 16 of the Tianfu competition that Qin Hao watched TV and knew that Xiao Qianxi was so famous.

"Would you dislike me showing up?" Xiao Qianxi asked cautiously.

Qin Hao teased, "Do you think I'm some feudal remnant? I'm still thinking that one day you'll become a big star and I'll eat your gigolo."

"Okay, I'll support you then."

"Then it's a deal, I'll eat your gigolo then."

Is the water in the entertainment industry muddy? That depends on the person. If you want to be famous without a background, you must make some sacrifices.

As for Xiao Qianxi, who dares to touch him with Qin Hao's protection? If it doesn't work, just spend money to acquire an entertainment company and promote it yourself.

Jack Ma can invite so many kung fu superstars to flatter him. In the end, the entertainment industry is still a world where capital is king.

Sorry for being late. I have an inexplicable backache today. I also wish everyone a happy National Day and have fun.
