Chapter 1005 Epilogue

"Oh, by the way, have you grabbed that mossX1 phone?"

After the two sighed, Xu Lin asked.

Xie Qiao shrank his neck: "It's not like you don't know that the salary from our publishing house is enough for me to make ends meet. I can't afford such an expensive mobile phone."

"If you ask me, what's the point of your magazine job? Just quit."

"You can support me if I quit." Xie Qiao rolled his eyes.

Xu Lin said with a bad smile: "You don't need me to support you. Just say it and someone will be eager to support you."

Xie Qiao's old face turned red: "What nonsense are you talking about? Besides, I am a top student who graduated from a prestigious school. I don't need others to support me."

"Hey, don't mention the top students from famous schools. Didn't you see in the QQ group that the students in the class are either taking the postgraduate entrance examination or the editor's entrance examination, and not many of them are actually working. This school is also divided into majors. Unpopular majors like ours are in The job market has no advantages at all," Xu Lin sighed.

Xie Qiao nodded in agreement, and suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, how much does Qianxi Company pay you per month?"

"Twenty to thirty thousand, mainly because of the good benefits. When I go on business trips, I stay in five-star hotels with Qianxi and eat big meals. The only bad thing is that I get busier during the holidays. I haven't been home for the New Year in two years. ”

After hearing what Xu Lin said, Xie Qiao said in shock: "The salary is so high? Good guy, you pay me for half a year a month. If you had known, I would have gone to Qianxi's place."

"You are just talking about it, but in the final analysis, it still cannot save your face. If you really want to come, tell Qian Xi, it won't be a matter of minutes."

Xie Qiao felt a little embarrassed at being said: "It's not that I can't lose face, it's mainly because I feel that the relationship from best friends to a boss and employee is a bit weird."

Xu Lin also understood Xie Qiao's character, so he stopped persuading and changed the subject: "By the way, you and Qin Chuan are in dire straits in Tianfu, so he didn't propose to you or anything?"

Xie Qiao got angry when he mentioned this: "Don't mention it. This guy acted like nothing happened after he came back. He appeared in front of me twice in total. After chatting for less than five minutes, he said that there was something else going on in the company, and he just slipped away. Just ran away."

"Isn't this guy just trying to make trouble and finally giving up?" Xu Lin looked at Xie Qiao suspiciously and lowered his voice: "You're not like him, are you?"

"Which one?" Xie Qiao didn't react for a while. When he came to his senses, he immediately spat at Xu Lin: "What are you thinking about? We didn't do anything."

"This is the scariest thing. You and Qin Chuan grew up together. He has been secretly in love with you for so many years, and they have experienced life and death together. Yet he doesn't think that way about you?"

Xu Lin analyzed it and came to a conclusion: "Isn't Qin Chuan bad?"

Xie Qiao was stunned for a moment, and after careful consideration, he felt that what Xu Lin said was not unreasonable.

"Probably not?"

"How about you test him?"

"Test, how to test?"

Xie Qiao asked doubtfully.

"Why don't you just ask him out and dress sexy to try it out for yourself?"

"How about that?"

Xu Lin curled his lips: "What's wrong? Just treat it as if you bought something on e-commerce. If it's useful, you can keep it. If it's not useful, you can return it within seven days without any reason. Otherwise, if you wait until you get married and want to return it, then you But it’s a second marriage.”

"These are all messed up metaphors."

Xie Qiao said so and asked Qin Chuan out that night.

At first Qin Chuan thought it was something, but as soon as he entered the hotel room, he saw Xie Qiao wearing cool pajamas, and his eyes widened.

Xie Qiao was quite satisfied at first and felt that she was still a little charming. However, Qin Chuan just stared at him and did not dare to come forward at all. Xie Qiao had no choice but to take the initiative to pull Qin Chuan into bed.

As a result, Qin Chuan became hypocritical, and Xie Qiao was so angry that he scolded Qin Chuan.

Only then did Qin Chuan tell the truth. It turned out that he had been busy dealing with his father's debts recently. When the US stock market surged the year before last, Qin Chuan's father made a lot of money, so he invested all his wealth in it. As a result, starting from July last year, the U.S. stock market plummeted. Not only did I lose all my previous wealth, but I also borrowed a lot of money to cover my position. Then the subprime mortgage crisis hit.

"How much do you still owe?"

Qin Chuan smiled bitterly and said: "After settling the employee wages and supplier debts, I still owe eight million. I have been busy filling the hole for him recently."

"Eight million?" Xie Qiao was shocked.

Qin Chuan comforted him: "I will pay back the eight million slowly. The income of Dingjianjianbing has been good in recent years, but I can't come up with so much cash at once. I have discussed it with my creditors. Pay back a portion every month and pay it off within two years.”

Not long after the misunderstanding was resolved, Xie Qiao voluntarily resigned from the publishing house because the author he signed had plagiarized it, so as not to injure others.

Seeing that Xie Qiao was in a bad mood, Qin Chuan arranged a very romantic scene to make her happy. Xie Qiao thought Qin Chuan was going to propose to her, but when the music and lights disappeared, Qin Chuan still didn't see her. Chuan took out the engagement ring and was so angry that he almost broke up with Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan then took out the ring from his pocket and proposed to Xie Qiao.

The two families had been neighbors since childhood, so they knew each other well and quickly decided on a wedding date.

Xu Lin played with Xie Qiao's wedding ring: "Tsk, tsk, this Qin Chuan is a boss with a net worth of nearly ten million, so it's too stingy to give you such a ring, isn't it?"

"I really don't blame him. The main reason is that his dad lost a lot of money in the stock market, and he has been busy filling the hole recently." Xie Qiao couldn't help but explain for Qin Chuan.

"You still agree to his proposal if you owe money."

"What's the matter? He's not afraid of death and will go to the disaster area to save me. It would be too uninteresting for me to back down just because of a trivial debt."

Xu Lin sighed and returned the ring to Xie Qiao: "Okay, as long as you can accept it, by the way, when is your wedding?"

"Let's just go on National Day. Everyone has time to hold a wedding on National Day."

"Sure enough, okay, then I'll go back and tell Qian Xi in advance."

Xie Qiao suddenly said "Hey": "How come Lao Qin and Qian Xi haven't gotten married after so many years? Could it be that they chose to get married in secret for the sake of Qian Xi's career?"

Xu Lin shook his head and said: "It's definitely not a hidden marriage. The relationship between Qian Xi and Lao Qin has been reported many times by the media. Even Qian Xi's fans are urging them. And even if it is a hidden marriage, it is always hidden from others. It’s impossible to hide it from us, right?”

"Yeah, but why didn't they get married for so long?"

"Maybe they are all quite busy. You haven't seen how fast Tesco has developed in the past few years. They recently started making mobile phones. I guess they are too busy to think about these things."

Xie Qiao thought for a while: "Why don't you help them match up during my wedding?"

"Let's forget it. It's better for outsiders like us not to get involved in this kind of thing, lest Lao Qin think that we are forced to marry after discussing with Qian Xi."

…

The National Day holiday soon came, and Qin Hao and Xiao Qianxi attended the wedding of Xie Qiao and Qin Chuan as best man and bridesmaid.

After working until night, the two returned to the hotel room.

In the bathroom, Xiao Qianxi took the initiative to stick to Qin Hao's back.

"What's wrong?" Qin Hao noticed Xiao Qianxi's mood swings.

"It's nothing, I'm just happy for Xie Qiao. She looks so beautiful in her wedding dress today."

Qin Hao held Xiao Qianxi in his arms and gently tapped the tip of her nose: "You don't mean what you say."

"I'll give you a gift later."

"What gift?"

"You'll know then."

After the storm, Qin Hao carried the exhausted Xiao Qianxi to the bedroom.

"Where's the gift?"

As if by magic, Qin Hao took out a ring box from under the pillow. Xiao Qianxi couldn't wait to open it, and there was a diamond ring lying quietly inside.

Under Xiao Qianxi's surprised eyes, Qin Hao slowly put it on for her.

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

"Of course I do."

Seeing Xiao Qianxi crying with joy, Qin Hao was a little embarrassed for a moment because he also gave Wang Ying the same diamond ring when he went to England last month.

Alas, Qin Hao sighed secretly, he, the scumbag, had finally done what he wanted.

"Honey, are we going to have a baby?"

Qin Hao was a little surprised by Xiao Qianxi's sudden words: "Will having a baby now affect you?"

"It doesn't matter. At worst, I won't be this star anymore. I'm a little tired of it anyway."

Xiao Qianxi herself is not the kind of woman who is very ambitious. For her, singing is not only a hobby, but also because she wants to compete with Wang Ying by virtue of her reputation as a singer.

When a woman makes such a request, a man cannot be afraid.

That night, Qin Hao went through an arduous struggle before Xiao Qianxi fell asleep with a tired smile.

…

After the National Day holiday, everything was back on track, and Xie Qiao was busy submitting resumes to find a job again. Unfortunately, he was hit by a wall because of his previous contract with a plagiarized author.

Just when Xie Qiao was frustrated, he happened to meet the author "Three Dogs" who had had in-depth contact with him before.

After learning that Xie Qiao was unemployed, "Three Dogs" invited her to join his studio.

Under the sincere invitation of "Three Dogs", Xie Qiao agreed to join the company, but when he arrived at the studio's office, his heart dropped.

The studio mentioned by "Three Dogs" is actually a private house in an old and dilapidated community.

"What's wrong with private housing? Qin Hao also founded Tesco in an underground garage. That doesn't prevent Tesco from being valued at hundreds of billions of yuan now."

Hearing "Three Dogs" use Qin Hao as an example, Xie Qiao was amused and quickly stopped.

"Brother Sangou, I had a hand in helping Lao Qin when he started his own business, so I won't bother you to give me chicken soup. I'll come up with a plan for you later that's not inferior to 'Old Northeast Stories', and I guarantee that our studio will be able to The gun became popular."

The bullshit was blown out, but Xie Qiao's several topic choices were all rejected by the "Three Dogs".

"What you're talking about is a mess. It's all bad jokes and clichés. Although our studio doesn't pursue any serious literature, we still need a minimum of literary literacy, right?"

Helpless, Xie Qiao could only go back and continue to meditate. Seeing that she was too worried to eat, Qin Chuan made a suggestion.

"Can you write down our story?"

Xie Qiao didn't react for a moment: "Our story, what story?"

"The story from our childhood to the present can also be seen as the growth history of our generation."

Xie Qiao's eyes lit up, and he turned around and reported the topic selection to "Three Dogs".

"This topic is a bit interesting. Youth literature is quite popular recently. We can give it a try."

"Brother Sangou, didn't you say you don't want to chase the heat?"

Sangou rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "What I'm saying is don't blindly chase the popularity. The studio still needs to eat."

It happened that Xie Qiao's best friend Lu Qianran was a writer, so Xie Qiao made an appointment with Lu Qianran for a manuscript.

Since the stories told by Qin Chuan and Xie Qiao were obviously subjective, Lu Qianran suggested collecting materials from more people.

So, Xu Lin and Xiao Qianxi both accepted Lu Qianran's interviews, but Lu Qianran was still not satisfied, so she asked Qin Hao out again and held a novel seminar with "San Gou".

"Alas, it would be great if the eldest lady was here." Xu Lin sighed.

In the past, Xiao Qianxi would feel a little unnatural when mentioning Wang Ying, but since she received Qin Hao's diamond ring, she was relieved. No matter what happened between Qin Hao and Wang Ying, she was the queen.

First, Qin Hao told his college life from his own perspective, of course hiding the things between him and Wang Ying.

As a result, after Qin Hao finished speaking, Lu Qianran and San Gou agreed that the character Qin Hao could be removed.

"Isn't this too bad?" Xie Qiao said angrily.

Lu Qianran apologized to Qin Hao: "Old Qin, the main plot of our novel is about the growth experience of this generation. Your story is too legendary. It seems a bit fake to write it in a novel. Your story can be taken out and written into a biography. What do you think?"

"So I am redundant." Qin Hao was speechless for a moment.

"Hehe, for the sake of art, you should sacrifice a little."

Qin Chuan raised his hands to agree: "There can only be one person with the surname Qin in a story, and that is me, Qin Chuan."

"Tsk!"

Everyone despised.

After collecting the materials, Lu Qianran began to write. It is true that after the novel was published, it really reaped the dividends of youth literature. Not only did the novel sell hundreds of thousands of copies, but also film and television companies came to discuss copyright production.

Time flies, and it was summer 2009 in a blink of an eye.

On this day, 11 Wall Street was crowded with people, and countless reporters aimed their long guns and short guns at the entrance.

Until a slender young man appeared, the eyes of the on-site traders could hardly see the road in the flashing spotlights.

When Qin Hao stood on the podium and shouted: "Yiguo is not just a shopping website, nor is it just a mobile phone manufacturer. We are always committed to changing people's lifestyles."

At this point, Qin Hao paused and said word by word.

"At the same time, we are also changing the world!"

For a moment, there was thunderous applause. As Qin Hao pressed the electronic button, the NASDAQ bell rang.

Yiguo also officially landed on the New York Stock Exchange.

In the subsequent secondary market transactions, Yiguo's stock price soared 48.2% from the opening price of $118 per share in just one hour. The closing price on the same day exceeded $180, completing a fundraising of $30 billion for Yiguo, and the market value exceeded $300 billion.
